The IDF raised its level of alert on Thursday and called off weekend furloughs
for a number of units due to concern over the fighting in Syria.On
Wednesday, a bomb in a Damascus security building killed defense minister Daoud
Rajha; deputy defense minister Assef Shawkat, who was also President Bashar
Assad's brother-in-law; and former defense minister and senior military official
Gen. Hassan Turkmani.Syria's interior minister and several other
officials were seriously wounded.Israel is primarily concerned that
Syria's chemical weapons or other advanced military systems will fall into the hands of rogue
actors such as Hezbollah or global jihad elements operating in the
country.Israel is also concerned that Assad – feeling his back against
the wall – may decide to take Israel with him, and as a result fire everything
he has at the Jewish state.On Thursday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak
toured the border with Syria and warned that Hezbollah might move Syrian
chemical weapons to Lebanon.Since many Islamists came to Syria from
outside the country – from global jihad, al-Qaida and other groups – there may
be even greater chaos there the day after Assad, Barak said.On Wednesday
night, Barak spoke with US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and updated him on
Israel's concerns regarding the situation in Syria. Barak told Panetta, who is
scheduled to visit Israel later this month, that Assad's days were numbered and
that Israel's main concern was with the chemical weapons.As Barak toured
the border on Thursday, mortar fire was heard from within Syria.Defense
officials said the shelling was not connected to Barak's visit but was part of
the unrest in Syria.Later in the day, a group of about 15 Syrian
civilians approached the border, raising IDF fears that they would try to cross
into Israel to seek refuge. IDF troops were deployed to the scene and the
military contacted United Nations peacekeepers. The group eventually returned to
their homes in a village about 2 kilometers from the border.IDF sources
said the military had prepared contingency plans for the possibility that large
numbers of refuge-seekers would try to force their way over the
border.Under the plan, the army plans to hold the civilians in an area
on the border that is not Israeli territory but is a fenced-in
enclave.The sources said that the IDF was prepared to provide the
refuge-seekers with food and water and even protect them from Syrian military
forces if they tried to attack the civilians.

Your Majesty the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly
Once Upon a Time . . .
This is a story about an ugly caterpillar that turns into a beautiful majestic butterfly; but before this sad-looking caterpillar grows up, it goes through an unsightly, humiliating stage that resembles bird poop!
Larva from the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly is a greenish-brown with white blotches that look like bird poop; therefore, it is often referred to as the Bird Poop Worm or Bird Poop Caterpillar.
In the Beginning
The bird poop caterpillar started out as an orangey-yellow egg carefully placed atop a leaf by its lovely mother, a big beautiful black and yellow butterfly.
Mother butterfly chose the perfect leaf amongst the branches of a lemon tree.
Gradually, the pretty orange egg darkened in color then opened and out squeezed the caterpillar.

Butterfly or Moth?
These little butterfly-looking moths are the merriest of creatures. Skippers are considered butterfies but have traits of both moth and butterfly. Like moths, skipper bodies are a bit on the bulky side when compared to the slender butterfly. Who would have thought insects could have body types? The skipper is very alert and despite his or her plus-size frame, appears to skip through the air from flower to flower at a rapid pace!
♪♫ Come Skip Through the Tulips with Me ♪♫♪
Skippers are in the family Hesperiidae, with over 3000 skipper species throughout the New and Old World but its the Fiery skipper that is most often spotted skipping through the air of California landscapes. Read more

White Velvet Ants and the Creosote Bush
Did I just see a piece of fuzz run across the desert? What´s white with 2 puffs of fuzz, 6 legs, 2 antennae, and squeaks when disturbed? Did I mention the powerful and painful sting?
White Velvet Ants
This female White Velvet Ant isn´t an ant at all…..she´s a wasp! Velvet ants look like big hairy ants but they´re actually solitary living wasps.
The female has no wings and so, sad to say, she cannot fly but she sure can move fast.
Thistledown Velvet Ants blend in with the creosote bush because of their white hair which mimics the fuzzy "fruits" of the creosote.

Stinking Stinkbugs
The Invasive Brown Marmorated Stinkbug
Here in America, we have our own native stinkbugs: of which, as kids I'm sure there isn't a one of us that hasn't harassed a stink bug long enough into rearing its hindquarters – just for the fun of watching it do so.
But, there´s a new bug in town – the Brown Marmorated Stinkbug (Halyomorpha halys) .
The brown marmorated stinkbug is believed to have arrived in the country by accident via cargo ships from Asia.

Invasive Asian Lady Beetles
|"Ladybug, Ladybug, fly away . . ."
|Invasive or Invited? The Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle looks like our North American ladybug but it's really an invasive species.
The Asian Lady beetle, however, could make an argument that rather than have invaded the country, it was invited – by our government.
It seems we didn´t have enough ladybugs so the Asian Lady Beetle was introduced into the states during the 1970´s to perform chemical-free pest control, for both our agricultural crops and our national forests.
Today, there are very few native ladybugs; so much so, that there´s an actual website dedicated to "lost" ladybugs! The "Lost Ladybug Project" petitions help from the public to photograph native ladybugs found throughout the country, such as the Nine-Spotted ladybug (very rare) or the Parenthesis ladybug, as well as the European Seven-Spotted ladybird.
Native ladybugs are all gentle species that have been displaced by the Asian Lady Beetle. The most common native ladybug in North America is the Convergent ladybug but it too has dropped in numbers because of the invasive Asian beetle.
Easy Asian Lady Beetle Identification
If a ladybug lands on you and then flies away on her own (without blowing on her), it´s supposed to be good luck. But before you start singing the "Ladybug Song" to make her fly . . . check out her pronotum, the area behind her head.
An Asian Lady Beetle has two large oval white markings. Besides the oval white spots on the Asian Lady Beetle´s pronotum, there´s usually a white area in the middle, giving the black area of the pronotum the appearance of an `M.´
Count the spots – she either has none or up to twenty-two and her coloring is pale orange to dark red. Young beetles tend to be black with irregular red spots. The Asian Lady Beetle is also a bit larger than most native ladybugs.
Helpful and Harmful Lady Beetles
For farmers, the Asian Lady Beetle has been a big help and quite useful in controlling insect populations for our agricultural crops, reducing the need for pesticides. All ladybugs feed on aphids, scale insects, and mites. However, because of the Asian Lady Beetle, several North American ladybug species have declined in numbers.
Not only are native and invasive ladybug species competing for the same food source, the Asian Lady Beetle is hardier, and stronger. It also has an arsenal of a parasitic fungus that kills other ladybug species, especially when native ladybugs find and feed off Asian Lady Beetle eggs and larvae. Evidently, all ladybugs will eat each other´s young if and when they come in contact.
Ladybugs as Pests, Really?
Twenty years ago, across North America, one could find thousands of ladybugs. Now it´s a rare treat to spot (pardon the pun) native ladybugs. Although native ladybugs are gentle and beneficial to one's garden, the Asian Lady Beetle can actually become a pest.
Asian Lady Beetles are also known as "Harlequin Ladybirds" due to variations in their coloring. Today, these beetles have become a statewide pest. One may ask, "What could be so pesky about a ladybug? Well, read on . . .
In October, Asian Lady Beetles invade homes in preparation for overwintering. They congregate in attics, ceilings, and walls while seeking protection and warmth for the winter.
Believe it or not, homeowners have reported sinus problems due to infestations of Asian Lady Beetles. The beetle´s defensive tactic, when disturbed, is to emit a yellow, foul-smelling chemical – which can stain walls and other surfaces. Asian Lady Beetles may look cute but they can and will bite!
The Future of Ladybugs
When one species becomes dominate, and environmental conditions change, that species runs the risk of becoming threatened or even extinct. This can cause problems in the ecosystem.
In regards to ladybugs, if we lost all ladybugs, including the invasive ones, it would be detrimental to the health of our agricultural crops and increase the need for pesticides.
On the home front, ladybugs can often be seen wherever there is an abundance of water, especially near ponds. Ladybugs are beneficial beetles that are important in controlling garden pests such as aphids and scale insects.
|The Lost Ladybug Project is working closely with the public to determine just where all the native ladybugs have gone to, and – try to figure out how and what we can do to protect them.
The next time I´m out hiking with my camera, I will be "hunting" for Nine-Spotted, Convergent, and Parenthesis Ladybug-Ladybirds!
In the meantime, a special thanks to all ladybugs for keeping our food free from pests and our flowering plants beautiful.

My name is Marco A. Ramos and I am a part time landscape technician who just recently started working for Hearts Pest Management. So far, my experience has been great. This job has lots of similarities with my recent landscaping job but it also has many differences, many of which I am still learning about.
My training so far has been great and thanks to John Chi and Duke Phan, I have been able to learn, laugh, and enjoy helping customers with their pest problems. These two individuals along with my employer, Gerry Weitz, have helped me on my journey to success in the pest management business.
Riding in the car with these technicians and getting hands on experience has been very interesting and at the same time very motivating. Knowing that all of my simple questions could be answered if I only ask made me feel very comfortable in the environment I was working in.

Signs of Spring
♪♫ Spring is in the air ♫ ♪
In Southern California, one can always tell spring is on the way right about mid-March. The honey bees are buzzing between new blossoms, native California chaparral flowers are in bloom, Black Phoebes and other birds are courting each other, new nests are under construction or last years are being remodeled. Oh, and the ants begin to appear, marching one by one . . .
Birds in Spring Black Phoebe
(Sayornis nigricans) Every year for the last four years, I know spring has definitely arrived when I hear little tiny chirps above my studio window.
|Before I moved in, a pair of Black Phoebes had already established themselves under the eaves. How many years has this same nest been rearing new generations of phoebes? I have no idea but I am happy they let me share my humble abode with them.Black Phoebes are the sweetest of birds.All dressed up in their tuxedos, both parents take turns sitting on the eggs until the nestlings hatch. Father and mother phoebe may leave the nest to catch flies, gnats, and other flying insects but they are always nearby to watch over and guard their nestlings.When relocating, the male Black Phoebe searches out nest sites to show to his female phoebe.He hovers over an area for a few seconds to see if the new neighborhood suits her. If not, he keeps flying to new locations until he has found one she likes.

Death´s-head Hawkmoth – A Case of Misrepresentation
The Death´s-head Hawkmoth is also known as a "bee robber" but it´s not the bee he´s after . . . it´s the honey! The name "Death´s-head" is derived from the image of a skull and bones on the back of the thorax. There are three species of Death´s-head hawkmoths that belong to the family Sphingidae. Large in size, their wingspans can reach a whopping 5 inches!
This particular moth has been featured in art and film, including the poster of a famous blockbuster chiller, "The Silence of the Lambs." Because of the skull-like image, the death´s-head hawkmoth has been associated with evil and the supernatural but in fact, the moth is quite harmless (unless you are a potato plant or beehive, then your leaves would get eaten and your honey nicked). Some cultures believe that if the moth flies into your house, it brings bad luck and death or misfortune are sure to follow.

The Red-shoulder Bug Mating Ritual
Watching red-shouldered bugs mate is quite amusing. They can be seen on sidewalks during spring and summer leading one another around. Female red-shouldered bugs are larger than males and have shorter wings. When mating, the two connect their rear ends and crawl forwards and backwards, taking turns. Pregnant females deposit their eggs, usually nearby under a shrub or tree. The nymphs are completely red in color when they hatch, and then they go through various stages over the summer until they reach adulthood at which time they gain their blue-black wings.

Gold premiums at two-month high on import duty talk
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Premiums on gold shipments to India jumped to their highest level in two months on Tuesday as traders rushed in to place orders for the metal ahead of an expected rise in import duty, even as gold refiners overses hurried to keep pace.
India, the world's biggest buyer of the metal, could likely hike import duty on the yellow metal from the current 4 percent, as part of measures to contain a record current account deficit. The RBI also recommended limits on value and volumes of gold imports.
"Our physical desk has already noted significant interest from Indian clients looking for gold, which could push up imports until the tax in announced," Nick Trevethan, senior commodity strategist at Australia and New Zealand Bank, said in a note.
Most of metal is supplied by Scotia Bank, Standard Bank, UBS Switzerland to Indian buyers, while MMTC (MMTC.NS), State Trading Corp, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Indian Overseas Bank, among others are the major gold importers.
Traders said gold shipped to India is attracting premiums of $2-$3 an ounce on London prices, a level last seen in mid-November, while premiums stood at $1-$1.20 an ounce in Singapore. Gold traded at $1,650.38 an ounce on Tuesday.
Gold on the Multi Commodity Exchange traded at 30,916 rupees per 10 grams, up 0.18 percent.
"Nothing is available readily...it is taking 4-5 days to about a week to get the material and even refineries have just started," said a dealer with a private bank that imports bullion in Mumbai. Gold refiners are usually shut in the last few weeks of December for year-end closing and maintenance works.
Traders estimate about 40-50 tonnes might have been imported into the country since January.
"In the last 2-3 days, there was a maddening rush (to buy gold)," said a dealer with a foreign bank, which supplies bullion to Indian customers.
India imported a record 967 tonnes of the yellow metal in 2011, but shipments fell 35 percent to 518 tonnes in the first nine months to September. (Reporting by Siddesh Mayenkar; Editing by Sunil Nair)

Daily Speed Read: News You Should Know May 19, 2014
By Lisa Keen
Originally printed 5/19/2014 (Issue 2220 - Between The Lines News)
OREGON DECISION AT NOON TODAY: U.S. District Court Judge Michael McShane of Oregon said Friday he would issue his decision at noon PDT today in litigation challenging the state's ban on same-sex couples marrying. Unless McShane puts a stay on his own decision, a ruling against the ban would likely go into effect immediately. Democratic Governor John Kitzhaber supports the right of same-sex couples to marry, and Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum refused to defend the ban in court, saying it was unconstitutional. Officials in several counties have already indicated they are prepared to issue licenses as soon as such a decision is announced.
ARKANSAS ROLLER COASTER: Arkansas county circuit court Judge Chris Piazza issued an amended and final decision May 15 to make clear he intended to include, in his original May 9 ruling striking down two laws banning same-sex couples from marrying, a third law that prohibits county clerks from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The next day, the Arkansas Supreme Court issued a one-sentence order, granting the state's request for a stay on Piazza's decision pending the state's appeal before the state high court. And then, the Republican speaker of the Arkansas House voted against suspension of House rules to allow for a vote on a resolution to urge the state supreme court to overturn Piazza's ruling. The Arkansas Times reported that House Speaker Davy Carter voted against suspending the rules to allow the resolution on the floor, saying "Judicial intimidation by the legislative branch is not appropriate in this instance or any other."
MAYOR SAYS BULLIED KIDS SHOULD 'GROW A PAIR': Porterville, California, is not an LGBT friendly place. Its city council last fall ousted a mayor who had declared June LGBT Pride Month and, in 2008, it supported Proposition 8. But it still startled some observers last week when the new mayor, Cameron Hamilton, said kids who are bullied should take care of the problem themselves. "I'm against bullying, but I'm getting damn tired of it being used as a mantra for everything....All most people have to do is grow a pair and stick up for them damn selves," said Hamilton, recorded by ABC News. The former mayor, Virginia Gurrola, said "It's hard to stand up and grow a pair when you're a ten-year-old little girl." The proposal before the council was a resolution by Gurrola to create "safe zones" for kids during after school hours. Gay Porterville spokeswoman Melissa McMurrey said she was "shocked" by Hamilton's remarks. The council will take up the resolution Tuesday, May 20.
PRESIDENT SPEAKS AGAINST HOMOPHOBIA: The White House issued a press release Friday, saying "no one should face violence or discrimination -- no matter who they are or whom they love." The statement was released to commemorate International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, which was Saturday. The president's statement also noted that next month marks the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
CATHOLIC STUDENTS RALLY BEHIND TUX: Students at a Catholic high school in San Francisco wore ties to school Friday to express their support of a female student who wore a tuxedo for her senior portrait. Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory requires female students to wear dresses for their senior portraits and took Jessica Urbina's photo out of the yearbook. But school officials told the San Francisco Chronicle Friday that the tie-day action "sparked a campus-wide dialogue which will result in a revision of policy."

Right Wing Leftovers - 4/19/12
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Thursday, 4/19/2012 4:36 pm
- Judicial Watch has filed a FOIA lawsuit against the Navy on behalf of the Family Research Council seeking "access to records concerning a policy announced in a September 14, 2011, memo issued by the Commander of the Walter Reed National Military Medial Center banning the use and/or distribution of Bibles."
- Regulations on smoking are apparently the same thing as Hitler forcing Jews to wear yellow stars.
- Gary Bauer says that the Left wins "by making conservative values unspeakable, by demonizing its opponents."
- Steve Deace says "Mitt Romney will lose the election this fall, which means the time is now for patriots to begin planning for 2016 lest they risk getting fooled again by the Republican establishment."
- Finally, Bill Donohue appears to be on the verge of launching an all-out war against Jon Stewart and The Daily Show.

JPMorgan's "London Whale" was prodded to boost valuations: WSJ
(Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) concluded that a trader nicknamed "London whale" was urged by his boss to put higher values on some positions than they might have fetched in the open market at the time, the Wall Street Journal said, citing people familiar with the probe.
JPMorgan's conclusion is based on a series of emails and voice communications in late March and April, as losses on trader Bruno Iksil's bullish credit-market bet mounted, the Journal said.
The bank believes emails and voice communications show the executive, Javier Martin-Artajo, pushing Iksil to adjust trade prices higher, the Journal said, citing people close to the bank's investigation.
Martin-Artajo was then credit-trading chief for the company's chief investment office.
A source told Reuters last month that Iksil has left the bank. Achilles Macris, head of the chief investment office in Europe where the losses occurred, and Martin-Artajo have also departed, reports said.
Greg Campbell, a lawyer for Martin-Artajo, told the Wall Street Journal that his client "unequivocally denies any wrongdoing on his part and is confident that he will be completely exonerated when the investigations into these events have been completed."
Iksil's lawyer, Raymond Silverstein, could not be reached for comment. He has previously denied any wrongdoing by Iksil.
JPMorgan could not immediately be reached for comment by Reuters outside regular business hours.

Ugo Monye's money is on Londoners claiming the Aviva Premiership title
Published: 12 May 2014
Updated: 12:19, 12 May 2014
Ugo Monye believes the Aviva Premiership trophy will end up in London hands this season. Harlequins and Saracens meet in the Premiership play-off on Saturday, the day after the first semi-final between Northampton and defending champions Leicester.
Quins wing Monye is adamant the attacking momentum is with London's top two teams and that whoever prevails in their semi will triumph in the Twickenham final on May 31.
Monye helped Quins defeat Bath 19-16 to grab the fourth play-off spot and a clash away to Sarries on their artificial pitch at Allianz Park, which promotes a fast, open game.
"Whoever wins this match will win the whole thing — I am certain of that,'' said Monye. "We have been playing knockout rugby for six weeks and still have plenty left in the tank. This is what we love doing and I was always convinced we would beat Bath. That's the confidence we have in this squad."
Monye came off during the second half of Saturday's match with a shoulder injury but said: "It's something I have had for the last two matches and I will be fine for the Saracens game."
A Mike Brown try and four penalties and a conversion from Nick Evans won the match. Fly-half Evans limped off late in the game but director of rugby Conor O'Shea expects the player to be ready to train later this week.
O'Shea insists his men have learned from their 39-17 loss to Sarries at Wembley in March, a game which saw Quins rest captain Chris Robshaw, Brown and Danny Care. All three will have key roles at Allianz Park.
O'Shea said: "We weren't far off at that Wembley game and when you look at the players who didn't play, then there won't be that much between the teams on Saturday. You might laugh at that given the final result but I came away from Wembley confident we could do something if we played them again."
Sarries, who finished the regular season top on 87 points, sent a weakened team to Leicester but only lost 31-27. They had Justin Melck, their Germany flanker, sent off for an alleged gouge but both clubs insisted there was no offence and the card looks certain to be quashed on appeal.
"We are hugely disappointed with the decision," said Mark McCall, the Sarries director of rugby." We will look to have it overturned. Justin is not that kind of player. It was a dreadful decision."
Wasps came unstuck 74-13 at Northampton as they rested key players ahead of next Sunday's first leg of their European Rugby Champions Cup play-off against Stade Francais. "We're all pretty embarrassed by that performance," said Dai Young, the director of rugby. "There is no shame coming to Franklin's Gardens and losing to a good side but to lose by that score is unacceptable."

Company Announcement: K'Enyuka Completes Detailed Engineering on Mareesburg ConcentratorBack
Construction|Engineering|Expertise|Design|Environment|Instrumentation|Platinum|PROJECT|Project Management|Roads|RSV Group|Water|Spitzkop Mine|The Plant|Vale Concentrator Plant|Building|Equipment|Plant Equipment|Project Management|Services|Herkie Sandenbergh|Infrastructure|Water|Limpopo Province
Engineering and project management services company, K'Enyuka completed 90% of the detailed engineering work on Eastern Platinum's Kennedy's Vale Concentrator Plant at its greenfields Mareesburg open pit mine in Limpopo Province, before both developments were suspended at the end of May this year owing to negative changes in the global economic environment.
K'Enyuka project manager, Herkie Sandenbergh, says the successful completion of the design of the platinum concentrator including infrastructure, plant equipment, services and roads, together with the good start achieved on construction, will allow for a rapid re-start once the project re-commences in more favourable economic conditions.
K'Enyuka was originally awarded the contract for detailed design of a concentrator to process ore from Eastplats' underground Spitzkop mine in 2008, which was halted by the global economic crisis. The contract was subsequently re-awarded in 2010, calling for a conventional MF2 concentrator to process opencast material from the Mareesburg operation. The process includes ore reception, milling, flotation, concentrate thickening and filtering, handling of tailings, site drainage and storm water control.
The concentrator has been designed to a capacity of 180 ktpm to accommodate future demand, but will initially be constructed to 90 ktpm. The plant will deliver platinum concentrate, with provision for the addition of chrome concentrate. The project included the refurbishment of two second-hand mills that were part of the original Spitzkop project. Sandenbergh says about 3 500 engineering drawings went into the design of the concentrator. Design features include metallurgical process, civil, structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation.
"This project has proved an excellent showcase of our expertise and capability and we look forward to the re-start," he comments. K'Enyuka recently completed an internal restructure channelling its focus into the three key areas of engineering, project management and project services. This development dovetails with the recent formal consolidation of skills among the linked enterprises associated with Read, Swatman & Voigt (RSV) (Pty) Ltd, to create the "RSV Group". All enterprises linked to RSV — including K'Enyuka — are now able to draw from one another's capabilities, building on a common high value brand.Comment Guidelines (150 word limit)

Digital Makeover: 5 Reasons You Should Fix Your Gadgets, Not Replace Them
Unless you've just woken up from a coma, you've probably heard that Apple recently announced the iPhone 5. Lots of people will be lining up the night before the September 21st release to get their grubby hands on the glossy screen—us included.
Our motivations are a little different than the average Joe: Here at iFixit, we get new gadgets to tear them apart and teach people how to fix them. We won't shame you for wanting something new and shiny. But if your old phone is no longer up to snuff, you don't necessarily have to shell out your hard-earned cash for a new one. Battery won't hold a charge? Screen cracked? Camera stopped working? All of these things can be fixed.
Today's task is to learn how and why to fix your gadgets instead of replacing them. Repair will save you money, of course—fixing a "red ringed" Xbox 360 costs just $30, less than one-sixth of the price of a new console. But here are five other reasons to fix your stuff.
1. It's easier than you think.
Does the thought of prying apart your iPhone make you weak in the knees? We have step-by-step guides and instructional videos to walk you through everything from changing an iPhone battery to changing the oil in a tractor. If we don't have a guide for it, the repair gurus on iFixit Answers can help you out.
2. Knowledge is power.
Learning that you don't have to live with broken stuff makes life better. You, too, can be free of stuff that squeaks, wobbles, or flickers when it shouldn't. Repair doesn't just give you control over your stuff, it connects you with it—you learn what makes it tick. Plus, you'll never be overcharged for a simple repair again.
3. You prevent e-waste.
About 75% of end-of-life gadgets in the US end up in landfills, incinerators, or e-waste dump sites around the world (pdf). The gadgets that are recycled are usually shredded, then sold as raw material. But recycled plastic and rubber can't be used to make new computers—the mix of dyes and plastics means it can only be "downcycled" into park benches and freeway dividers.
4. You conserve mining and manufacturing efforts.
Mining is hard on the earth. In just the last month, there have been two big wastewater leaks: one at a gold and silver mine in the Philippines and one at a zinc mine, which contaminated an Amazon river tributary. Manufacturing has real human costs: the labor disputes at Foxconn manufacturing plants are infamous. When you fix your old stuff, you're not contributing to the mining and manufacturing of new stuff.
5. You get more out of your old stuff.
Are you maximizing the potential of the devices you currently own? Could you get the same new, shiny feeling if you downloaded some free apps for your phone? Could you double your computer's storage space by adding a second hard drive?
Repair is good for your brain, good for your wallet, and good for the planet. So go fix something.
30 Days of GOOD is moving! As of Monday 9/24, we'll be discontinuing the daily emails, so get over to our new site and register so you can keep following 30 Days of GOOD. There's much to explore in the new site. Looking forward to seeing you there!

City Deer Hunt Numbers Way Down
Submitted: 01/28/2013
Ben Meyer
Executive Producer
Play Video
- The DNR gave out a lot of tags for Rhinelander's city deer hunt this season.
But hunters didn't bag many deer.
The bow hunt within city limits ends Thursday.
Hunters have harvested just 10 deer in the hunt so far.
It started in mid-September.
This year will be the lowest total for a full season of hunting in the city hunt's history.
Hunters took 10 deer this year.
But 53 were shot in both 2006 and 2007, the first two years of the hunt.
This year's number is much lower, even though the city and the DNR's Jeremy Holtz gave out more tags than average.
"I guess I wasn't too surprised when people showed interest early, but I did expect a higher harvest rate with the tags that were requested," says Holtz.
The hunt started seven years ago when deer nuisance complaints were high.
People didn't like the number of deer eating their gardens or crossing the road in the city.
The number of those complaints has dropped.
But so has the deer harvest numbers.
"I think there are probably two reasons. There are fewer deer around and I think deer are getting more accustomed to people on top of stands, hunting them," says Blaine Oborn, the Rhinelander City Administrator.
So it seems like the hunt worked.
But Holtz says the reasons for fewer deer might be more complicated.
The drop could also be related to climate during a particular season.
Unusually warm or unusually cold winters (the Northwoods has had at least one of each in the past decade) can also impact deer population.
The city plans to work with Holtz and the DNR to figure out what's best for years to come.
"Maybe we'll take off 2013 next year, or maybe we'll decide to do it again and take off the following year. We'll just continue to evaluate that on a year-to-year basis," says Oborn.
Rhinelander is one of a very few places in Wisconsin with a city deer hunt.
The city will review its deer hunting rules in August.

Balanced plate could be best option for Thanksgiving meal
Submitted: 11/26/2014
- Americans will eat more than 40 million turkeys Thursday, and that won't be the only delicious food on the table.
Thanksgiving can start weight gain for many people across the country. Dieticians like Jennifer Mikulich with Aspirus say this is the time of year when some patients avoid their dieticians. She believes the key to a healthy day is a balanced plate.
"You know have a balance between those foods that have some carbohydrates and those foods that don't," Mikulich said. "If you're somebody that is a really big sweet eater and you know there is pecan pie and pumpkin pie, well maybe you won't have the dinner roll and the mashed potatoes."
