Insect pests of roses
Roses are very popular landscape plants grown for their beauty. Roses are susceptible to several insects and diseases which reduce flower growth and quality as well as frustrate rose gardeners. In general, these insects do not kill the plant, but may stunt or kill parts, affect flowering, or cause aesthetic damage. Learning the proper care of roses and management of pest problems increases your success in growing a beautiful rose bush.

Plant Health Care (PHC) is a strategy for keeping plants stress free by considering factors related to growing and maintaining the plant. An important result of PHC is that roses in healthy condition are less impacted by insects than plants under stress. Start by selecting a suitable cultivar and site. Remember some rose cultivars and species are more resistant to disease. For suggestions on disease-resistant shrub roses, refer to the University of Minnesota Extension publication Roses for the North.
Next, select a proper site. Make sure that soil and light requirements are met and that the roses are planted at the correct depth. After planting, appropriate long-term maintenance is important. Follow the instructions found on the tag for water and fertility requirements, and provide a mulch around the base of the plants. See Extension publication Culture of Garden Roses, for more information on cultivation.
Management of insects and diseases is called Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM is a decision-making process which includes scouting, damage-threshold decisions, control options, and timing of insecticide application. IPM practices reduce non-target effects on beneficial insects and permit control decisions based on pest species and the most vulnerable stage in its life history.

IPM for insect pests of roses
First inspect your plants for damage or insects. This is called scouting. Look for discoloration, unusual growth, swellings, and leaf defoliation. Set a threshold for your acceptance level of insect and disease damage. While this can be related to plant health, in the case of ornamental plants, such as roses, it often relates to aesthetics. When damage is discovered, be sure the damaging insects are still present. It will not help to use controls after the insects have left. When pest insects are found, consider the range of options available for controlling that particular pest. Control suggestions are given below for specific pests. There may be options other than conventional insecticides to control the pest. The use of physical measures, low-toxicity insecticides (called biorational insecticides), or the judicious use of conventional insecticides help preserve beneficial insects that naturally help keep pest insect populations in check. If physical measures are an option for your pest, try them first. If not, use the least toxic insecticide that is effective for your pest. Proper timing of insecticidal usage to the vulnerable stage of the pest is important.
The target is the pest, therefore inspect the plant to see where the pests are located and treat only those areas. Spot treating puts the insecticide only where it is needed and reduces the amount of pesticide used.
Steps in IPM
- Routinely inspect plants for pests before damage becomes severe.
- Determine an acceptable threshold of pest damage.
- Consider a range of options available to control the pest once the threshold is reached.
- Choose the least toxic treatment that will effectively solve the problem.
- Begin inspecting. Return to step 1.
Specific pesticides are suggested for each pest. The pesticides are listed by the common chemical name found in the active ingredient area of the product label. An example of a trade name is in parentheses. Look for the appropriate active ingredient on the label and verify that the product can be used on roses. Some pesticide products are ready to use, while others require preparation. Also, some pesticides are harder to find and may require more effort to locate. Always read and comply with the pesticide label. Use of trade names does not imply endorsement.

Defoliators/leaf feeders
Three species of sawflies
- Roseslug, Endelomyia aethiops
- Bristly roseslug, Cladius difformis
- curled rose sawfly, Allantus cinctus
Photo 2: Roseslug larvae.
Sawflies are small, dark, non-stinging wasps. Sawfly larvae skeletonize rose leaves. These larvae look much like butterfly or moth caterpillars, but can be identified by the number of fleshy legs (prolegs) that follow the front three pairs of legs. Sawflies have five or more pair of prolegs, while caterpillars have less than five.
Photo 3: Curled rose sawfly larvae.
Three species of sawflies feed on rose foliage. All three species are light green with orange heads and late larvae can reach 3/4 inch (19 mm) in length.
Rose sawflies produce damage called skeletonization by chewing away a layer of the leaf except for the veins. The thin layer remaining turns clear or brown and the uneaten veins appear like a skeleton. The older larvae of the bristly roseslug and curled rose sawfly chew holes rather than skeletonizing the leaves.
Photo 4: Roseslug and skeletonizing of leaf on right side of photograph.
Begin to scout for sawfly larvae in early May. Roseslugs feed through June and are not seen again until the next spring. The curled rose sawfly also has one generation per year. The bristly roseslug has several generations throughout the summer. Sawflies often feed on the undersides of leaves, so inspect all leaf surfaces.
Photo 5: Curled rose sawfly and leaf defoliation.
Sawflies are best controlled when young. Several options exist for control. A physical tactic is to simply pick them off by hand. Dislodging them with a stick or a stream of water also works. If using water be sure to spray early enough in the day to allow foliage to be dry by sunset so as not to create favorable conditions for fungal development. Horticultural oil, insecticidal soap and azadiractin (sometimes called neem), are low-toxicity biorational insecticides for young sawflies. Azadiractin is slower acting. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is effective on young lepidoptera caterpillars but NOT on larval sawflies. Conventional insecticides include acephate (Orthene), carbaryl (Sevin), chlorpyrifos (Dursban), malathion, and diazinon. Avoid spraying the rose flowers as many conventional insecticides are highly toxic to bees.
Japanese beetle, (Popillia japonica)
Photo 6: Japanese beetle.
The Japanese beetle is a scarab beetle and an exotic insect which became established in the east and is spreading across the United States. Japanese beetles are approximately 7/16 inch (10-12 mm) long. The front of the beetle is dark metallic green and the wing covers are dark tan. There are five small, white patches of short hairs along each side of the dorsal abdomen on the beetle. These patches are a key characteristic for identification. If it doesn't have these white hair tufts, it isn't a Japanese beetle. Other beetles can be found on roses and are described below.
One of the favored foods of adult Japanese beetles is rose foliage and flowers, although adults feed on many plant species. Larvae feed on the roots of grasses. Inspect your plants for skeletonized leaves and the presence of adult beetles.
Control is the same as the rose chafer.
False Japanese beetle, (Strigoderma arbicola)
Photo 7: False Japanese beetle.
The false japanese beetle is scarab beetle that resembles the Japanese beetle and is native to Minnesota, but is less of a problem species. The adult beetles are about 7/16 inch (10-12 mm) long and are a dark tan to brown color. Some may have a slight metallic green color on the front third of the body, though not as bright as the Japanese beetle. There are no white tufts along the dorsal abdomen edges as is found on the Japanese beetle.
This insect has not been studied extensively. Larvae feed on plant roots, but a species list is not well known. Adults are found on wild and cultivated roses. When numbers of adults are large, the beetles damage roses by feeding on buds and flowers.
ControlControl is the same as for the rose chafer.
Rose chafers, (Macrodactylus subspinosus)
Photo 8: Rose chafer
Rose chafers are scarab beetles approximately 3/8 inch (8-9 mm) long, slender, light tan, and lacking the white hair tufts of Japanese beetles.
Rose chafers are generally found in areas with sandy soil. Adults feed on rose flowers and foliage. The larvae feed on the roots of grasses, alfalfa, or clover sod. Inspect your plants for skeletonized leaves and adult beetles.
While rose chafers can be numerous, hand pick if infestation is light. The insecticides carbaryl (Sevin), acephate (Orthene), diazinon, and chlorpyrifos (Dursban) control these beetles. However, the beetles are quite mobile and new beetles may replace those killed by insecticides. Avoid spraying flowers so as to not kill bees.
Fuller rose beetle, (Asynonychus godmani)
Photo 9: Fuller rose beetle
The fuller rose beetle is a weevil with a short snout. The adult weevil is brown with black mottled markings and about 5/8 inch (14-15 mm) long.
Both larvae and adults are pests. Larvae feed on roots while the adults chew foliage and flowers. Adults generally feed during the night and are considered to be more damaging.
Control is similar to other beetle defoliators. Hand picking at night is an option with low populations. Control is the same as for the rose chafer.
Leafcutting bees, (Megachile spp.)
Leafcutting bees are similar in size to honeybees, but are blackish in color.
Photo 10: Leafcutting bee
Leafcutting bees cut out sections of rose and other plant leaves to line their nests. The damage of leafcutting bees is quite distinctive. The holes are large and round with a smooth edge. The edges of holes chewed by most insects are irregular or ragged.
Control of leafcutting bees is not recommended because they are beneficial pollinators.
Piercing/sucking feeders
- Rose aphid,Macrosiphum rosae;
- Potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae
Photo 11: Aphid
Aphids are small, inconspicuous insects that feed in groups near the tips of new shoots and flower buds. Those found on roses are generally green or pinkish and up to 1/8 inch (3 mm) long.
Aphids feed by sucking plant juices, causing distortion of young leaves and stunting new growth. Flowers may also be affected when aphids feed on the buds. watch for honeydew, a clear, shiny, sticky waste product that collects on the leaves below the aphids and attracts ants. A black fungus called sooty mold also grows on the honeydew.
Photo 12: Ladybird beetle larva eating an aphid
Look for beneficial insects where you see aphids. Lacewing and ladybird beetle larvae and adults are among the naturally occurring predators of aphids. Tiny parasitic wasps also control aphids by laying their eggs inside the aphids. The wasp larva feeds inside the aphid, killing it and leaving mummies-dark, swollen, motionless aphids with a hole in them.
Photo 13: Parasitic wasp emerged from mummified aphid
While they have many natural predators and parasites, aphid populations can increase rapidly. Spraying with water can dislodge aphids. Do this early enough so that leaves dry by sunset. Biorational insecticides such as insecticidal soap are effective on aphids. Since insecticidal soaps work well on aphids and have low toxicity, they are suggested over conventional insecticides. Insecticidal soaps must contact the aphids directly. Conventional insecticides for aphids include pyrethrins, malathion, acephate (Orthene), chlorpyrifos (Dursban), and diazinon. A long-term strategy is to add beneficial insects (such as ladybird beetles or lacewings) to the area, though it can be difficult to get good control of the aphids. Feeding ladybird beetles honey before release can improve their retention on the plant.
Twospotted spider mites, (Tetranychus urticae)
Photo 14: Twospotted spider mites
Mites are not insects, but are closely related to both insects and spiders. They are a yellowish green with a black spot on each side of the body. Mites are very small and difficult to see. A magnifying glass may aid in viewing mites.
Mites feed by sucking plant juices out of individual cells from a wide variety of ornamental plants including roses. This causes small yellowish stippling (like spray paint droplets) on the foliage of host plants. Also look for very fine webbing on leaves and stems. As a result of heavy mite populations, leaves may turn yellow and drop from the plant. You can also check for mites by shaking branches over a white sheet of paper. The mites show up as tiny moving specks.
Photo 15: Twospotted spider mite damage. Notice bleaching of color in leaf.
Insecticidal soap and horticultural oil are biorationals for mites, although subsequent application is necessary. If the population is high, conventional pesticide use may be warranted. Mites are not insects. Consequently, pesticides called miticides are used for control. Dicofol (Kelthane) is an available miticide. Conventional insecticides with miticidal properties are appropriate. Read the product label to see if spider mites are listed. Focus mite control on the undersides of leaves and treat the entire plant.
Bud/shoot feeders
Rose midge, (Dasineura rhodophaga)
Photo 16: Rose midge damage to a bud
The rose midge is a tiny fly that lays its eggs in the buds and shoots of roses. The legless fly larvae are small whitish maggots about 1/16 inch (1mm) in length.
Feeding by the larvae causes bent, misshapen, or blasted buds and withering stem tips. Flower buds and growing shoots turn brown and finally black. with a magnifying lens, look for the small whitish larvae between the petals and sepals at the base of the flower bud to verify the presence of midge larvae.
Prune out these infested buds to remove the larvae, reducing the number of midges available to reinfest the plants. Midge damage is often noticed after July. Chemical control is needed for persistent problems. Systemic insecticides are the best choice. Acephate (Orthene) and dimethoate (Cygon-2E) are systemic chemical controls. Diazinon, a non-systemic, is also an option, but larvae can be protected from the chemical within the flower or vegetative buds. Be sure to get good coverage of flower buds.
Rose curculio,(Merhynchites bicolor)
The adult rose curculio weevil is reddish in color with a long snout. The head, snout, legs, and underside are black. Adults are approximately 3/16 inch (6 mm) in length.
Photo 17: Rose curculio
These weevils feed on all types of roses, especially shrub roses. Adults feed on rose buds and on shoot tips, resulting in damaged petals and dead shoot tips. Feeding on the stem below the bud can cause it to bend over. Larvae feed in rose flower buds. The legless larvae are similar in color to rose midge larvae, are up-to-1/4 inch (6 mm), and are more robust. There is a single generation each year with adults appearing in June.
Hand pick adults if few in number. When bothered, adults fall from the plant. Therefore, gently shake canes over a bucket or tray to collect fallen adults. Prune out and remove finished flowers to remove larvae, which can help reduce future problems. Conventional insecticides include carbaryl (Sevin), acephate (Orthene), diazinon, and chlorpyrifo (Dursban).
Gall makers
Gall wasps
- Mossy rose gall, Diplolepis rosea
- Spiny rose gall, Diplolepis bicolor
Wasp galls are abnormal plant growths resulting from activity of the tiny, non-stinging cynipid wasps.
Photo 18: Mossy rose gall
Rose galls occur on leaves or stems of the rose plant and are specific to the species of gall maker. The mossy rose gall looks like a mossy sphere. The spiny rose gall is round with many pink spines. Insect larvae develop inside the gall. Stem galls can damage plants above the location of the gall, especially if there are many galls on a particular stem. Numerous galls may stress the plant because nutrients otherwise available for plant growth are used to produce galls.
Control is best done by pruning out galls before the wasps have matured and emerged from the gall. Since adults emerge from the old galls in spring, prune out the galls after the leaves drop in fall, cutting below the gall and above a bud. For leaf galls, pick up fallen leaves. Removing the galls from the garden may not totally eliminate future problems if adult wasps fly in from nearby areas. Timing for insecticidal treatment of these wasps is difficult and not suggested.
Stem borers
Rose stem girdler, (Agrilus aurichalceus)
Photo 19: Rose stem girdler
The adult rose stem girdler beetle is about 3/8 inch (9-10 mm) long, with a flattened body shape. Adults are not likely to be seen. The larva is cream-colored, noticeably segmented, and has a large head. Larvae cannot be seen on the exterior surface of the plant.
The rose stem girdler larva feeds just beneath the bark of rose stems. Its feeding prevents water and nutrient flow in the stem, causing the stem above the feeding area to die. The stem also swells just below the dead area.
When injury is noticed, prune out the affected stem below the injury and above a bud. Dispose of the pruned canes to remove the insects from the garden. Effective chemical control is difficult and not recommended.
Rose stem sawfly, (Hartigia trimaculata)
Photo 20: Rose stem sawfly
Adult rose stem sawflies are small, dark, non-stinging wasps. The larva is cream colored with a brownish orange head. It is grublike and legless. Larvae will not be seen on exterior surfaces of the plant.
This sawfly feeds inside the rose cane rather than on foliage. The larva first feeds just beneath the bark and can girdle the cane from the inside, causing the cane to wilt and die. Older larvae feed in the center of the cane and work downward. One generation is thought to occur per year.
Control recommendations are the same as for the rose stem girdler. As the larvae move downward in the stem, prune in small increments until you come upon the larva or the pith is solid. prune above a bud.
Carpenter bees, (Ceratina spp.)
Photo 21: Carpenter bee
Carpenter bees are small, thin, and metallic blue-black.
Rose is one of the favored plants of small carpenter bees for nesting. The carpenter bees tunnel in canes to provide a series of rearing cavities for their grublike young. These bees usually tunnel in dead canes. When they tunnel into live parts of the cane those parts die. Damage is generally minimal.
Prune out dead canes to reduce the likelihood of attracting carpenter bees. Chemical control is not recommended.

Another skier is dead this year after falling into a tree well on the slopes at Whitefish Mountain Resort.
What authorities are calling an "unfortunate tragedy" happened during a very busy weekend at the resort, with more than 6,000 people on the powder both Saturday and Sunday.
Thomas Podivinsky, 48, was skiing with a friend on Sunday. Around 12:30 p.m., his friend got to the bottom of a run and couldn't find Podivinsky. Close to 1:00 p.m., the ski patrol was notified. They found him in a tree well in the area between the Hollywood and Silvertip runs under chair seven. When they got to him, he didn't have a pulse and wasn't breathing. The ski patrol's attempts to revive Podivinsky didn't work and the Flathead County Sheriff's Department was called.
Sheriff Chuck Curry says this was likely a freak accident, but the body is headed to the Montana State Crime Lab in Missoula before it will go to Calgary, where Podivinsky was from.
"When you're skiing with someone in those conditions make sure that you always keep sight of each other so any sort of rescue can occur quickly," said Curry.
Whitefish Mountain Resort spokeswoman Riley Polumbus couldn't speak on camera, but in an email she wrote "We are deeply saddened by this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends as they cope during this difficult time. This accident is another unfortunate reminder that tree wells are an inherent risk of the sport. We encourage our guests to take extra caution when skiing in the trees, ski with a partner, and call ski patrol immediately if someone is missing. We will continue to help our guests understand the risks and encourage educating themselves on this subject. An excellent resource for learning more about tree wells and deep snow safety is the website deepsnowsafety.org, which can be linked to from the tree well page of our website."
"Is a couple of deaths unusual? While they're very tragic, I wouldn't necessarily say it's unusual," said Curry.
Podivinsky was the chief geophysicist for Calgary-based Athabasca oil corporation and the brother of an Olympic bronze medallist skier. His story is nearly identical to the 54-year-old California man's who died on January 11. Douglas Spring fell into a tree well. He was skiing with his son who realized something was wrong when they got separated and couldn't find his dad at the bottom of the slope.

Most cats these days have microchips to help their owners find them. Requiring cat licenses is more paperwork and regulation without benefit to the community. I seriously wonder why the council isn't focused on more important issues.
on Jun 6, 2013 at 5:01 pm
My indoor cats are chipped and I would think that a Mt. View based vet could help with getting a reader so collars could be avoided. Not sure why this has become such a hot topic with our council when we're dealing with larger issues, including controlling auto speeds, given the (way too) many pedestrian deaths in the past year.
on Jun 6, 2013 at 7:47 pm
My b;acl/white cat was chipped and collared, but vanished Thanksgiving day 2012. He had a break-away collar for safety, so he may have lost it and was taken in by someone assuming he was a stray.
I fail to see how a license would help at all. This looks like just another money grab.

When a sample film clip on screen drew a collective, audible gasp in the screening room, director of photography Russ Alsobrook, ASC knew he would be shooting the comedy Tammy on KODAK Film. The cinematographer and the film's principals had been at Burbank-based lab/post house FotoKem during preproduction doing digital versus film origination comparisons.
"It's like we've forgotten how great film looks when you see it in comparison," Alsobrook remarks. "We looked at each other, and it was a done deal. There was no question we were going to shoot fi lm. It has a rich, creamy look to it that you just can't get any other way."
Super 16mm was always the optimal format for Ping Pong Summer, according to writer/director Michael Tully's Sundance-premiering feature about a family vacation in the summer of 1985. He and director of photography Wyatt Garfield wanted to make sure they weren't making fun of the '80s, but rather wanted it to feel like an actual movie from their childhoods.
"We were going for a sincere take on the bizarre, indulgent aspects of the 1980s," says Garfield. "We wanted to embrace the colors of that decade, but we knew that if we shot it digitally all those colors would come through too saturated, and it would quickly become a contemporary, synthetic homage. We relied on film to contain and soften all the saturated colors and keep the palette nostalgic."
The Los Angeles Film Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, staring on June 11 with screenings of over 200 films programmed to entertain. Produced by Film Independent, the fest revels in showcasing independent and international cinema – from narrative films of all genres, to short films and international fare. This year, sections of the LAFF showcase upcoming independent movies releasing this summer as well as community screenings for the public and a look at daring, unique storytelling by some of today's emerging filmmakers.
Snowpiercer opens the festival, making it the English-language debut of writer-director Boon Jo-Hong. This sci-fi fantasy stars Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton who live in a world covered in ice after an attempt to stop global warming fails. Survivors live on a supertrain circling what's left of Earth. Inside, the poorest live in pathetic conditions, while the rich live in luxury, until one of the oppressed decides to change the state of affairs.
In Edge of Tomorrow, Tom Cruise's character endures an experience reminiscent of Groundhog Day. He relives his dying day over and over, hoping to eventually gain the skill and smarts to break the loop and conquer his enemies. But the similarities end there. In Edge of Tomorrow, the world is a high-tech yet recognizable future where human soldiers equipped with robotic suits must fight off invading aliens.
Oscar®-winning cinematographer Dion Beebe, ASC, ACS (Chicago, Collateral, Memoirs of a Geisha, Land of the Lost, Green Lantern, Nine, Gangster Squad) had previously worked with director Doug Liman (Swingers, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Jumpers, The Bourne Identity) on a few commercials, but never on a project of this scale. They worked toward a visual strategy through careful preproduction testing.
Director Julian Higgins and cinematographer Andrew Wheeler recently reunited for the short film Winter Light, which is based on the writings of James Lee Burke. The story is a modern-day revisionist Western set against a winter landscape in Montana.
Wheeler and Higgins first began working together while attending AFI. Their thesis film Thief, which was shot on 35mm, won a 2011 Student ACADEMY AWARD® Gold Medal. The filmmaking duo also took top honors in Canon's Project Imaginat10n film contest for Here and Now in 2013.

Article by: Harvey Finkel - European regulators are shooting themselves in the foot, yet again. To begin with, France's INAO (Institut National des Appellations d'Origine) is reportedly set to ban mention of grape variety from Alsace labels. When I mentioned this to a seasoned and wise international wine merchant, an éminence grise, he exclaimed, "Insane!", an opinion probably unfair to the mentally afflicted. He and I agreed that this is another case of theory overruling practicality. Dare I utter the [...] Read More »
Sicilian Stars
Article by: Harvey Finkel - 'Twas not so long ago that the wines of Sicily, always a generous producer, were almost entirely sold anonymously in bulk, the reds tired, the whites oxidized. No longer. Although much is still passed along to who-knows-where in bulk, even that has become largely acceptable, and the bottled wines of Sicily constitute a distinguished lot, none more so than the dazzling array found at Planeta.Of Sicily's 121,OOO hectares of vines, almost two-thirds are white.

Seasonal Beers
Article by: Andy Crouch - With all of the sustained and even explosive growth craft beer has enjoyed over the last decade, perhaps no area has been more active than seasonal beer. Brewers have long understood the importance of appealing to the changing consumer drinking patterns that accompany shifting weather patterns, which fuels the active seasonal beer market. From the Boston Beer Company's diverse seasonal portfolio all the way down to the local brewpub, craft brewers rely upon an ever-changing [...] Read More »
Endangered Cocktail: The Whisky Skin
Article by: Pink Lady - COCKTALE If many single malt drinkers won't add even a cube of ice to their Scotch, the thought of mixing that water of life into a cocktail is sure to make them shudder. Be that as it may, before blended Scotches erupted onto the scene in the 189Os (along with golf and an interest in all things Scottish), all Scotch imported to the American provinces was the strong, smoky single malt variety. Back then Scotch [...] Read More »

Comments about Infiniti Jacket IV:
This jacket worked great for an early June relay in the Idaho mountains with 34 degrees at the start, cloudy and breezy. I was just warm enough without overheating. I also love my utopia thermal hooded jacket, but it is too warm for these conditions. This jacket does not disappoint. Perfect.

The soft chewy center of the Internet
Spoofing a UDP Packet
When spoofing a UDP packet, you need to know the IP addresses and ports in use, which is trivial with a DNS query because the IP addresses are known (the server making the query and the server answering it) and, because it is a DNS request, the destination port is always 53. This leaves only the source port to determine, and because many operating systems simply use a static port for outgoing connections or ports incremented by one for each outgoing request, it's relatively easy for an attacker to guess.
Transaction ID
In an attempt to address the packet-spoofing issue within the DNS protocol, a transaction ID was added. A simple 16-bit number – with 65,536 possibilities – that is sent in the request and that must be copied into the answering packet theoretically prevents an attacker from blindly spoofing the replies because it must now guess the transaction ID as well.
Unfortunately, creating really good random values is surprisingly tricky, and some implementations of Bind simply use transaction IDs that increment by 1 for each request, making them completely predictable. Now you're back to the place where an attacker can easily spoof a packet and insert hostile data into a DNS server.
How the Attack Works
So how do attackers exploit this issue? The first thing they do is find a vulnerable server and a domain that they want to control (e.g., http://www.your-bank.com). Then they find a machine that is allowed to use the vulnerable server for DNS lookups.
Large ISPs – such as mine, which has two DNS servers for the city – are likely targets because compromising them gives the attackers access to thousands of clients, so compromising a single machine to launch the attack does not present a significant hurdle.

IGFA introduces iPhone app for fishingFriday, October 29th, 2010
Fishing is an an outdoor adventure sport, meaning you always seem to be out somewhere such as the ocean, the pier or the beach — someplace that's usually way better than your office — which is part of why the fish-crazed among us love it so much.
Anyway, there's sometimes a need for information when a fish comes to the boat or onto the beach or over the rail of the pier.
What kind of fish is it? Is it a world record? (You hope it's big enough to ask that question.) Where can I find a certified scale to weigh it?
If it's close to record size, anglers need to know if the fish was caught according to rules set forth by the International Game Fish Association, the organization that keeps and certifies world records.

Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess to her fans) grew up in a small town in rural Texas with a younger sister and many family pets. In college she met the man she would marry. They moved to the suburbs, had a child and eventually bought a house in a town similar to the one she grew up in. Everyone lived happily ever after.
If you squint kind of hard and read between the lines, that's almost an accurate summary of Let's Pretend This Never Happened. All that's missing is Lawson's dad, a taxidermist so enthusiastic about his work he couldn't be relied on to make sure the animals were dead before tossing them on his children—or wearing them as hand puppets. Then there's the family's radon-poisoned well water, which her mother nevertheless bathed the girls in. "My mom was a big proponent of the 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' theory, almost to the point where she seemed to be daring the world to kill us," Lawson writes.
This is the kind of book where, once you've got the lay of the land, a sentence like "[My neighbor] seemed more concerned this time, possibly because I was belting out Bonnie Tyler and crying while swinging a machete over a partially disturbed grave" makes total sense. It might also make you laugh and cry simultaneously, since the grave held Lawson's beloved pug and she was swinging at vultures who were trying to dig him up. If that doesn't make you laugh, there's a story about her multiple miscarriages and the subsequent birth of her daughter that's an absolute howler. No, seriously. Plus: Chupacabras!
While the subject matter may be in questionable, or unquestionably bad, taste, this book induced convulsive laughter so hard it qualified as a Pilates workout. And the point of the whole enterprise is to not run from but celebrate those things that make each of us want to hide, since we've all got them—though maybe not as many or as freaky as Jenny Lawson's. That's why she's The Bloggess and the rest of us just work here. Pretend this never happened? Not possible, and that's all the more reason to be glad.Copyright 2012 BookPage Reviews.
She's famed on the Internet as the Bloggess ("like Mother Teresa, only better") and also writes an (I hope) tongue-in-check parenting column and a self-styled satirical sex column that must be sizzly because my office computer denies me access. Here, Lawson revisits her rural Texas childhood. With lots of media attention expected and comparisons to Chelsea Handler, this book is one to watch.[Page 58]. (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
In punchy chapters that cover a fairly uneventful life in the southern Republican regions, blogger Lawson achieves an exaggerated sarcasm that occasionally attains a belly laugh from the reader ("I grew up a poor black girl in New York. Except replace 'black' with 'white' and 'New York' with 'rural Texas' "), but mostly descends into rants about bodily functions and dead animals spiced with profanity. The daughter of a taxidermist whose avid foraging and hunting filled their "violently rural" Wall, Tex., house with motley creatures like raccoons and turkeys and later triggered some anxiety disorder, Lawson did not transcend her childhood horrors so much as return to them, marrying at age 22 a fellow student at a local San Angelo college, Victor, and settling down in the town with a job in "HR" while Victor worked "in computers." In random anecdotal segments Lawson treats the vicissitudes of her 15-year marriage, the birth of daughter Hailey after many miscarriages, some funny insider secrets from the HR office, and an attempt to learn to trust women by spending a weekend in California wine country with a group of bloggers. With little substantive writing on these subjects, however, Lawson's puerile sniggering and potty mouth gets old fast. Agent: Neeti Madan, Sterling Lord. (Apr.)[Page ]. Copyright 2012 PWxyz LLC

HOUSTON — After confusion caused by a mistake on the verdict paperwork, jurors found Jessica Tata guilty of murder for the west Houston day care fire that killed four children.
They began the sentencing phase of the trial Tuesday afternoon. Prosecutors are expectded to call 20 witnesses, including parents of the victims. Tata faces from five years to life in prison.
"From the bottom of our hearts, we're thankful for today's verdict and we're happy and that's all I have to say," said Nancy Villanueva, one victim's aunt, as she choked back tears.
In a bizarre series of events, jurors announced they had a verdict just before 11 Tuesday morning. But the judge sent them back to work because they had checked multiple options on their verdict paperwork.
They returned again and attorneys were told the jury would resume deliberations. Tata was taken out of the courtroom.
The third time jurors came back, the guilty verdict was announced. Tata showed little emotion when the verdict was read. She sat with her head down as the judge polled the jurors.
"She's never lost sight of the fact that the real victims, the real people to have concern for are the families who lost their children,"said Defense Attorney Mike DeGeurin. "She hasn't forgotten that. You know, it's not all about her. It's about a lot more than her."
Tata was charged with murder for the February 2011 day care fire that killed four children and injured three others.
Elias Castillo, Elizabeth Kojah, Kendyll Stradford and Shomari Dickerson were trapped inside the burning day care in February 2011.
This trial was for the death of 15-month-old Elias, the youngest victim. His relatives broke down in tears when the verdict was read.
The prosecution maintains Tata left the children unsupervised with oil heating on the stove while she went shopping at Target.
"I would suggest to you that you would expect more from someone who's watching your dog," prosecutor Steve Baldassano told jurors during closing arguments Monday.
Baldassno said Tata tried to evade responsibility for the fire that also injured three children.
"Today is the day to hold her accountable," he said. "Find her guilty for the death of Elias Castillo, who will forever be frozen in time at the age of 15 months."
"It is what it is, and it's not what it's not," said DeGeurin during closing. "The prosecution can't point to you and say, 'You're guilty,' and that makes you guilty."
The defense tried to raise the possibility that the fire was caused by faulty wiring in a refrigerator, something the prosecution called a last ditch effort.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it was a tragic accident. Jessica Tata should have never left those children alone. It was wrong to do that," DeGeurin said.
Tata did not take the stand in her own defense.
Early in the investigation, a neighbor said Tata told firefighters that the fire started in the kitchen, while she was in the bathroom. It was later determined she wasn't home at the time.
Tata fled the country to her family's native Nigeria a few days after the fire. She was later arrested and brought back to the U.S.
In all, Tata is charged with four counts of felony murder. It's not clear if prosecutors will try her in the other three cases.

Malcolm Middleton Radio
In 2003, Malcolm Middleton, the member of Arab Strap regularly credited with "most things musical," released the cumbersomely titled solo album 5:14 Fluoxytine Seagull Alcohol John Nicotine, issued through Chemikal Underground. Two years later, he followed it up with the more focused Into the Woods, put out by the same label. Neither album was a tremendous departure from his work with Aidan Moffat (both lyrically and sonically), though the songwriting was occasionally more self-absorbed, oozing with self-doubt and heartache. Shortly after Arab Strap's amicable split, he released the schizophrenic A Brighter Beat (2007), followed by the relatively low-key Sleight of Heart (2008) and another whimsical set in Waxing Gibbous (2009). ~ Andy KellmanPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

A South Carolina mother has a signed contract with her 19-year-old son, outlining how he will behave.
"No property damage, no threats to pets," said Kelly Ann Troyer. "Without medicine, he is uncontrollable. With medicine, I still am always waiting for the other shoe to drop." Her son has bipolar disorder, pervasive development disorder and autism, and she has custody of him.
And if you want to know what a day in her world is like, take for instance, Wednesday:"Well, right before I came here, I got the call he threatened to kill a girl on the bus this morning," Troyer said. "And right now, he's in the room with a resource officer and administrator and they've had to call people and I don't know what that outcome may be."But this concerned mother paused to talk to WIS so that you would understand. She knows people are thinking about mental illness and she wants to talk about it after what happened Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut."I do identify with that," said Troyer. "I'm not thankful for the situation but I'm grateful it has received so much media attention." She doesn't know what the gunman Adam Lanza was dealing with, but she does know what its like to have a son with violent tendencies."He says, 'I'm about to act out'. That's his word," she said. "If he says that, you just need to move out of the way. Bad things are about to happen. He's gonna' break the iPod, he's gonna' throw the phone, he's gonna' put a hole in the wall." Troyer said for children or older kids like hers whose parents have guardianship, the problem is what to do with them. Homeless shelters and jail are where they often end up.
She regularly calls police to calm her son down. Other than that, she said there's not much to do.
That's the problem and that's what she thinks of when she thinks of Sandy Hook."I got very angry because this is not the first time this happened in our country," said Troyer. "Won't be the last and if we provide adequate mental health care, treatment facilities, there are many people who can live in recovery." She said her wish is that money would flow in and a cure would be found and in the meantime, she'd have some residential options aside from her home. "I love him," Troyer said. "I love all three of my children. I would not wish this on anyone. It is, on a good day, a very bad day."

No bond for silent teen in correction officer's death
No bond was set this afternoon for 15 year old Dylan Cardeilhac, who sat silent as charges of first degree murder and first degree assault causing serious bodily injury were read against him in Scotts Bluff County Court. Cardeilhac is accused in the strangulation death of 24 year old corrections officer Amanda Baker.
Cardeilhac will be represented by the Nebraska Commission on Public Advocacy, who will also represent him on a charge of armed robbery regarding a robbery of a Mitchell convenience store late last year. He was awaiting trial on that charge when the attack occurred last Friday.
Cardeilhac is being charged as an adult in both cases, although County Court Judge Kris Mickey indicated he had the right to make a motion to move the murder case to juvenile court. District Judge Randy Lippstreu has already ruled that Cardeilhac will be tried as an adult on the robbery charge.
Court documents Friday say Cardeilhac lured Scotts Bluff County corrections officer Amanda Baker into his cell as part of a planned attack last Friday.
The arrest affidavit filed in Scotts Bluff County Court by Sheriff's investigator Matt Holcomb says video from a camera in the cell shows Cardeilhac talked Baker into the cell to look at something on the floor. The documents say the video shows as Baker's back was turned to Cardeilhac, he jumped on her back and wrapped both arms around her back and neck. The two fell to the ground and even though Baker tried to resist, she loses consciousness. The video shows Cardeilhac continued to apply pressure for around ninety seconds after Baker had gone limp. The entire attack lasted a little over two and a half minutes.
The documents say after the attack Cardeilhac got the facility keys off Baker's belt, left the room, and opened and entered a number of cells that housed other juvenile offenders in the facility. A short time after the attack he was located in another cell and relocated to a secure cell by corrections officer Mark Botzki, who noticed a number of open doors to cells and saw things were not as usual.
The documents say Botzki stated Baker was unconscious and breathing when he got to the cell. Another corrections officer Leo Ysac gave CPR to Baker while Botzi was rounding up Cardeilhac prior to ambulance personnel responding and taking over medical care.
Cardeilhac,who was arrested at 1 a.m., has been separated from the rest of the population at the county's detention center following the alleged attack on Friday.

A gamble by Team USA head coach Steve Specht early in the second quarter paid off, as quarterback Brayden Scott connected over the middle with slot receiver Demarcus Ayers for a seven-yard touchdown catch on fourth down. Scott had an efficient performance in the first half, going 8-10 for 117 yards and that touchdown to Ayers, who led the team with five catches for 82 yards.
A personal foul for a late hit on the quarterback by linebacker Reggie Spearman helped extend an American Samoan drive inside the US redzone and the Pacific Islanders converted with a one-yard touchdown plunge by Howard Tautu that narrowed the margin to 20-6. Spearman picked up two more personal foul penalties after a three-and-out by the Americans on offense mostly a result of a sack on a play-action pass attempt. As a whole, Team USA committed 10 total penalties in the first half.
Fortunately for head coach Specht and his team, safety Cameron Walker stayed at home on a halfback pass by American Samoa and broke it up. On the following play, Samoa went to well again, this time on an end around, but Walker was again in position and was able to intercept the throw.
With an ankle injury to Notre Dame commit Rashad Kinlaw that resulted in him leaving the game, Team USA is now down to one quarterback on the roster after Missouri commit Trent Hosick left Austin to return home for personal reasons. The back-up quarterback is now Darrius Sims, the defensive back from Southaven, Mississippi.
Stay healthy, Brayden Scott.

Company Dancer
Joinville, Brazil
At Nashville Ballet since 2012
Originally from Joinville, Brazil, Nicolas Cristiano Scheuer joined Nashville Ballet as an apprentice in 2012.
Nicolas began his ballet studies at the Bolshoi Theatre School of Brazil, affiliated with the prestigious Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow, Russia.
During his eight years as a student at the Bolshoi Theatre School of Brazil, he had the opportunity to learn and perform notable works such as the pas de deux from Swan Lake and from Les Corsarie.
Nicolas took the skills he learned from the Bolshoi to Boston Ballet School, where he continued his dance education and performed alongside Boston Ballet's company in large-scale productions such as The Nutcracker, La Bayadere and Romeo and Juliet.
After two years at Boston Ballet School, Nicolas began his full-time performance career at the New English Ballet Theater London, where he took on roles in Classical Symphony, Resolution and Le Carnaval de Verites.
Nicolas brought his talent for classical ballet to the 2012 Youth America Grand Prix, the world's largest student ballet scholarship competition.
Coming to Nashville is especially exciting for Nicolas because of his love of travel and seeing new parts of the world. When he's not dancing, he is exploring his new city and planning his next trip.

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter

METAIRIE, La. — With a skosh more than nine seconds remaining in the NFC divisional playoff game between New Orleans and San Francisco, Roman Harper met Vernon Davis at the goal line, crashing into each other as hard as any other collision that cool January day.
Davis held on, Harper remained on the ground dazed and the 49ers put away the Saints, knocking New Orleans out of the playoffs.
And, yet, that's not what makes the 6-foot-3, 250-pound tight end hard to deal with, Harper said.
"All the tight ends are big and physical now but he's fast and athletic and can really stretch the field," Harper said. "He's definitely a physical guy. He doesn't shy away from blocking. He does a good job in all different areas. He's a good player."
Davis finished with 180 yards and two touchdowns on seven catches in that game. On that game-winning drive, Davis caught a 47-yard pass to put the 49ers in great position at the Saints' 20 with just 31 seconds to play and his 14-yard touchdown catch solidified his epic day.
"I was in a zone during the time," Davis said this week on a conference call with New Orleans media. "I never played in that atmosphere before, so I just let it all out to take advantage of my opportunities."
The Saints (5-5) will get another shot at stopping Davis and the 49ers (7-2-1) on Sunday when they host San Francisco at 3:25 p.m. in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Since 2009, Davis has 31 touchdown catches, second-most in that period. In 98 games with the 49ers, he has caught 339 passes for 4,290 yards and 40 touchdowns.
This season, he's second on his team with 487 receiving yards and 35 receptions. His five touchdown receptions are tied for most on the San Francisco roster.
Until the Atlanta game two weeks ago, New Orleans hadn't had a tight end totally deflate it. But Tony Gonzalez finished with 122 yards and two touchdowns. Davis will be the most athletic tight end the Saints have seen since and one of the most difficult to cover this season.
"He's one of those elite tight ends in this league," Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins said. "He can run, he can get vertical and he's just like a wide receiver when they get him the ball, so he's going to make some plays. You've just got to limit the amount of YAC that he gets, limit the deep ball and keep him in front of you."
Jenkins would know. In last year's playoff game, the Saints had him in coverage on Davis. And he said he learned not only how fast Davis is, but how if you're not in perfect position covering him, the tight end will make the defender pay.
"You know, one play I have good coverage and they throw a good ball and put it away from where I can't get it and he's in stride and it's a good play (for San Francisco)," Jenkins said.
Davis earned a game ball for his six catch, 83-yard night against Chicago on Monday night. He has had three games with at least 70 yards receiving and has caught a touchdown pass in four games this season.
Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt, who also is the team's linebackers coach, waxed poetic this week about what Davis brings to the field and why he's so difficult to cover.
"I think he's really a wide receiver playing tight end at 60 pounds heavier than Marques Colston," Vitt said. "He is a 4.4 guy, he's got great hands, he can drop his weight and come out of routes, he is doing a good job now of reading coverages, the quarterbacks that are in that system right now have great confidence in him."

Ty Hildenbrandt was gracious enough to have me on the Solid Verbal podcast last night.
Go 'Dawgs!
The fine fellows from the Half Cocked Podcast were kind enough to have me on the show to discuss Fighting Like Cats and Dogs, the 2013 college football season, and the Georgia Bulldogs' Palmetto State rivalries . . . both of them. Go 'Dawgs!
At 5:10 p.m. Eastern, roughly two hours from now, I am scheduled to call in to John Frary's ESPN Radio show on 1420 AM out of St. Augustine. If you're in the area, tune in, and, otherwise, follow the above link to listen. Go 'Dawgs!
One telling stat is that the Bulldogs have lost nine straight games against teams that finished the season ranked, and have gone 2-14 against such squads since the start of the 2008 season. Ouch! Go 'Dawgs!
Remember where you saw this first in 20 years when college football is extinct. Now mind you I'm no lawyer, but I am fairly certain that if this goes to trial and the judge awards settlement for the player over the school there will be some serious risk management discussions concerning the cost-benefit of having a football team. Smaller schools will go first but eventually, if this sets a precedent, every "walk on" in America will eventually take down even the grandest of houses, Belmont Hall. I hope it doesn't happen but I'm just sayin' this could be the beginning of the end. What do you think?
I talked Syracuse football, the Big East, and my prognostications for this year's college football national championship game with Pete Sonski of Big East Coast Bias on this week's Three Point Stance podcast.
This is being run by a Florida fan and a South Carolina fan, so I'm sure they're just trying to jinx us, but still. . . . Go 'Dawgs!
Well, duh! Go 'Dawgs!
I am slated to appear on the air with Deke Bellavia on ESPN 1350 AM out of New Orleans at 1:15 p.m. Central, which, if my math is correct, also is 2:15 pm. Eastern. Tune in, if you would, either on your radio, or by following the above link and clicking "Listen Live." Go 'Dawgs!
Also official: 1. It will expand. 2. It will create all manner of problems and controversies, solving nothing. 3. It will suck, but not enough to stop me from loving a sport that doesn't love me back, which has been true of just about every change in college football in my adult lifetime. Go 'Dawgs!

Thanks so much for all your help!Nicole from Covington, GA

Lisa was fantastic. She showed me all the reasons why I should choose Uncle Bob's over the many nearby competitors. She was very knowledgeable, very professional and honest. Everything she explained about the process was 100% accurate. I was very pleased - I thought it would be a real pain; but it wasn't at all. I was so impressed; I referred my father. He shopped around and still choose Uncle Bobs on Gateway in Auburn.Steve from Auburn, AL
