A disclaimer: while some of what follows can be called "ads," others are "ads" in a looser sense. They're marketing tools. Of one type or another, anyway, and a couple are even less related to advertising than that but I just had to include them as I reflect back on the year that was. To wit...
Bat-shit, but in a good way. I think.
Director Kris Moyes is really marching to his own drum here. And I like that kind of marching.
I'm kinda torn about how video games and their ads glamorize violence, but this was very well done.
Hot Chip, by way of Peter Serafinowicz. Nice.
While not a conventional "ad" per se, I see this title sequence as an ad for the film that you're about to watch. And in that way Gaspar Noe was extremely effective in telling the audience they were in for a wild ride. Inside the theater, the flashing was so intense you felt like someone was just bound to have a seizure.
The client decided not to run Jonathan Glazer's ad, but my God it's special.
Now that's true advertising greatness.

I originally posted this on the Southern gardening forum, and someone suggested posting it here. I didn't know this was here!
I have been planning on digging up some bamboo from a (huge!) patch near my in-laws' house and putting it in a very large pot and setting it on concrete in my courtyard. It is a running type and I know it wouldn't be safe to plant in the ground (It has completely taken over the vacant lot next to my in-laws' house!). I'm trying for a "tropical" look in my courtyard, and I can't afford to buy bamboo...it's expensive! (Isn't that black bamboo great?) But I got to wondering if it might perhaps throw some seeds out and spread that way? I guess if I do plant it, I need to cut off any flowers that might form? I SURE don't want any of that stuff in my yard...my neighbor mentioned once that she was thinking of planting some at the back corner of her yard (which borders mine and is right next to my compost pile and a "wild" section of my yard that I don't mow) and I threatened her life! (We are good friends...she didn't do it, thank God, or we might not be!) Besides getting all in my compost pile and obliterating it, it would spread into the pasture behind us, and the poor cows soon wouldn't have anywhere to go! Anyway, I just thought I'd check first and see what everybody here thinks of my idea, if it would be safe? Btw, anyone who thinks that there is no kind of bamboo that springs up and grows like a foot overnight doesn't live in Louisiana! :-)
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't think you should plant any in the ground because it sounds like you will be constantly worrying. Bamboo can be invasive if ignored, but there are a lot of urban myths about its aggressiveness, too. Bamboo can be controlled by rhizome pruning, but that doesn't work if people don't do it a couple of times a year. Every place I've ever seen where bamboo got out of control was because the owners failed to do normal maintenance for several years and then woke up to the fact that they had a problem. You can plant it in a pot, but expect to be repotting every couple of years as it grows. Don't use any pot that isn't a standard vase shape or you'll never get it out because the roots go to the sides and circle. And like most plants, it will not be as healthy or hardy in a pot as in the ground. An alternative is to buy a clumping bamboo. I don't know what you consider expensive, but many bamboo are available online for $20 + shipping for smaller ones; local nurseries often charge outrageous amounts. Growing from seed is complicated because seed is only available for a particular species when it flowers...and that occurs at unpredictable intervals that are decades apart. So the likelihood that you could find seed for a particular species is remote. Finally, if you had a plant and it did flower, it typically saps all the plant's energy and it dies. You can find seed on eBay, but most of that is from outside the U.S. and it is technically a violation of U.S. plant regulations to import it without getting a permit and paying for a 1-year quarantine. If you do grow from seed, it will take 3-5 years before it attains any significant height. |
Thank you for the information! I'm not even considering putting this in the ground, nor trying to start from seeds. The stuff that is growing in the vacant lot grows a lot in the "wild" around here and it is truly a monster, like kudzu. The pots I am wanting to use are very large, about 15 inches across the top, bowl-shaped. The sides are straight up at the top, so that shouldn't be a problem. The only thing I can think of is that I'll have to watch the bottom of the pot to make sure no rhizomes get out, get off the concrete, and go into the ground. What a nightmare that would be, right here in my courtyard! And knowing what I do about this stuff, I bet it will be perfectly hardy in the pot! But even if it were to die some unusually cold winter, there is plenty more to be dug up. (Yes, $20+ for a plant is expensive to me.) Thanks again for your informative answer! |

CENTRAL POINT, Ore. — The last of the rides will be set up at the Jackson County Fair Monday night, and before everything opens up for families Tuesday, workers will be going over every ride with a fine-toothed comb to make sure they are safe.
The carnival company said it will test and inspect every ride Tuesday night, and again every morning during the fair.
They said the ride manufacturers set a checklist of everything that needs to be inspected, including bolts, wires, hydraulics and other machinery.
"They're big machines, they move around," said Michael Davis, who supervises the safety checks for the carnival employees. "We check the blocking underneath, we make sure all the pins stayed in all day long. And a lot of the machines, we might close them during the day for an hour, maybe 15 minutes, just to take a quick look."
Workers will also have fire extinguishers ready in case of an emergency.

LEGO Sets Discounted at Sears and Toys R Us
Posted by CrzyLCF,LEGO Space Police and Bionicle have been discounted at TRU locations in Canada for 20% off. The sale will be running from October, 9th to October, 15th.
UPDATE: Sears is also having a sale on ALL LEGO sets for 15% off regular price.
9 comments on this article
Cool, might go to get some space police, looks like a good time,
Awesome! I might get some Space Police sets.
@ Republic Commando Sev, this sale is only active in Canada.
All Space Police 3 should be under the 15% off deal at TRU in the USA as of now, so you're good to go Republic Commando Sev!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO(Darth Vader Scream from Empire Strikes Back). If I knew there was a sale coming this soon I would have never bought two Glatorian Legends.
Don't forget, if you bought a bit early before the sale and you are within a store's price guarantee time line, you can go in with your receipt and get a partial refund (for Toys R Us Canada the Low Price Guarantee is effective within 7 days of purchase date and original receipt is required.) I find keeping a Lego receipt envelope and then checking the price sales within each store's price guarantee time line can save money. This has netted me some good savings over the past couple of years.
@CrzyLCF: Oh man, I should have saw that... Sorry.
Rigth now at Toys R Us in the US, with all lego purchase of $30 or more you get a free Lego City Farm Tractor ($14.99 value), you also get a bricktober loyalty brick with any Lego purchase.
The loyalt brick is cool week 1 is sold out tho.... but i like the sales hope to buy some sets in the nexted week or two.

PONDA: In a freak incident, a tree fell on a scooterist and his pillion rider as they were travelling along Bethora, Ponda, late Thursday evening.
The incident occurred around 8.30pm near the village panchayat office, when Uttam Gaude, 17, and his mother, Pooja, 45, were on their way home to Kasamshelli-Bethora.
Sources told TOI that as the duo, riding through the heavy rain, reached the panchayat ghar, gusty winds brought a cashew tree crashing down on the scooter.
The Gaudes were thrown to the ground with the tree landing on top of them.
Passersby immediately alerted the EMRI ambulance service and the injured Gaudes were admitted to the Goa Medical College (GMC) and Hospital, Bambolim, sources told TOI.
Ponda central fire station personnel later cleared the tree off the road.
When contacted, Ponda police said a head constable had been rushed to the spot on Thursday evening.

Netpreneurs should also keep up on technological developments in order to gauge future growth. InfoPost is a marketplace where individuals and businesses can buy and sell digital content. According to InfoPost's 28-year-old co-founder, Josh Tang, "How fast the consumer is adopting these new technologies is a predictor of the speed of our growth."
Not keeping up with changing technology could actually eliminate some businesses. In fact, Spiegel's company recently updated its Web site to take advantage of one Net trend in particular: streaming video. Although her company started out marketing college admissions information to teens-they searched her Web site for videos, which she then mailed to them-an alliance with Precision Media, a streaming media company in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, now allows her to provide entire presentations via streaming video. Says Spiegel, "If I had stayed in video selling, everything would have passed me by."
But it's not enough for business owners to stay educated; they must educate their customers, too. Geoff Sherr, senior strategist with CarryOn Communication Inc., a PR firm in Beverly Hills, California, that specializes in cutting-edge Internet companies, illustrates the point. "We're always needing to educate clients about the online ways of thinking in PR," he says. "While the offline world measures results quantitatively, the online world is a dynamic setting. For instance, if Women.com does a story about a client, the story links to the client's Web site. The online world measures the result of that story about the company by the hits the company has gotten to its site from that link, not the offline thinking which would be the exposure in the story."
Spiegel is even more adamant: "If I was the only one educated about developments, I wouldn't have any customers. Take streaming video. My clients perceive the quality of the video to be inferior, so they don't think their audience will watch it. Yet research shows that teens are already watching videos on the Net, which is the number-one place they go to research a college." To educate clients, Spiegel posts new developments from her research in a biweekly newsletter.
Tomorrow's customer is as important as today's for business-to-consumer companies. Current Internet customers are largely urban-based professionals, a market that's been tapped and is widely known. Tomorrow's growth must come from somewhere else. "It's not the people who are on the Net that are the driving force behind the economy," says Sherr. "It's that broader audience. What truly makes a billion-dollar business is its ability to reach middle America, so what will affect the change are low-cost PCs, free Internet access and the major long-distance carriers expanding DSL connections to small towns."
But for dotcoms even to succeed tomorrow, they've got to be studying the industry's financing climate. Dotcom founders should track what deals are being done, how the deals are structured and who's getting funding from whom. Fashionmall.com's recent purchase of collapsed Internet retailer boo.com's domain name made front page news worldwide. The Time Warner/AOL merger has also played a role in shaping the Internet. Tang says that one of the top issues he follows in all his reading is which companies are getting new funding: "I want to know what dollars are out there and where they're going."

Hi, my question is...Can u give a Hummingbird too much sugar in the mix? I have an 8oz Hummingbird feeder and i mix 6oz of sugar to about 3oz of water. Is that too much sugar for them?? They really seem to love it. I only have 3 Hummers and i have to refill it every 5 days....but i don't want to hurt 'em in any way. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by birding_nut 6 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 20, 08 at 13:23
The standard mix is about 1/4 cup sugar to 1 cup water, or, 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. I believe this most closely equates to the sugar concentration in flower nectar. BN |
Thanks for replying..but will i hurt my Hummers by giving them too much sugar? |
There aren't many studies that prove that a high sugar concentration is NOT harmful. If you google "sugar concentration for hummingbird" many sites will be listed, most suggesting a 1-to-4 ratio. There was one person who postulated that too much sugar may cause crystallization which attracted bacteria on their beaks which could lead to "bill rot", but I'm not sure if that theory is well-accepted. Until you know for SURE, it is safest to keep your sugar mix close to the naturally-occuring concentrations in flowering plants. The 1-to-4 ratio does this. BTW, refilling every 5 days may be too long. In the heat of summer, the sugar mixture may go bad in less than 2 days. |
If I understand your mix ratio correctly, instead of 1:4 sugar/water, you are using 2:1 sugar/water. That's 8 times the concentration that most folks use. I just mixed a batch using 2:1 - it looks like white Karo corn syrup! Why gamble with your little hummers? |
I didn't mean to gamble...i know they love the sugar water..and i just thought if i added more sugar they would love it even more..but i guess i was wrong :( |
- Posted by donnalovesblue (My Page) on Wed, Aug 20, 08 at 19:28
Lori68...the hummers will not love a more concentrated sugar nectar, more than the recommended 4 to 1 ratio of water and sugar. I've been feeding the hummers for many years and have never changed the ratio. Just stick with this and your hummers will be very happy! Donna |
- Posted by hummersteve Indy (My Page) on Thu, Aug 21, 08 at 10:06
Lori68-- What everyone is telling you is true. Dont know if you know this, but hummers have a sense that tells them that flower nectar is perfect for them, in fact they will sample flower nectar and if it is not they will make a note of it and come back later to get that nectar. In that same note feeder nectar needs to be be in that same quality. Most of the time the ratio should be 1:4 but I do stray from that ratio two times of the year, when they first arrive and just before they leave for good, at that point I give them 1:3 , at those times I feel the need is there for a little extra. There is a big difference between that ratio and the 2:1 you have been giving. The feeder nectar should be refreshed every 2-3 days. So you can adjust the amount you give them to that , to save nectar and keep it fresh for them. |
- Posted by ltcollins1949 9a TX (My Page) on Thu, Aug 21, 08 at 11:36
Yes, you can harm the hummer by giving too much sugar. I've gone to many hummingbird programs, presented by hummingbird experts, and it is always said to give them only the 1:4 ratio otherwise harm can be done. |
lori, Please don't think that we're 'piling on'. I can't speak for anyone else, but I tend to panic when I think harm is coming to a little hummer anywhere, they're so fragile and defenseless. Stick with our little group, we're really very nice. How 'bout it, buds? |
thanks alot for all ur help! LUUUUV the pic! |

One of my first gardening blunders was along these same lines..."if some is good, more is better!" Seems logical at first thought. Well, my lawn did not appreciate the quadruple helping of Weed and Feed it received, and promptly died on me. That was many years ago, but I've followed the directions for fertilizing, cooking recipes, etc. to the T from then on! =) That being said, I do give my hummers a little more sugar at the start of the season, not exceeding 1:3 sugar to water. But I switch to the good old 1:4 soon after, and the hummers are happy and healthy. |
Oh no! I hope I'm not hurting my sweet little hummers! :( I have a confession~~~~ I've been giving them a 1:3 ratio. Whenever I use the 1:4 ratio, they don't come around but as soon as I go back to the 1:3, I end up having more hummers around than I can handle. In fact, I have so many on a daily basis, I'm going to have to set up feeders on each side of my house and maybe in the front yard. I must have counted about 15 flying around at the same time every single day! |
You're fine. Both the 1:3 and 1:4 ratios are within the range of naturally occurring concentrations in flowering plants. Here's some data from the Lousiana Ornithological Society Newsletter, March 2003, written by Dennis Demcheck. The 3rd number is the average percentage. The higher percentage may be preferred by birds but the number of total visits to a feeder may be higher with the lower percentage. Sugar concentrations for selected plants, May 2001-November 2002 Note: * indicates that Greater Than (>) values were used in computing the average. |
Great info rita, thanks for posting it!! Now I see why they like the Lady in Red so much. |
Okay, I agree with the others 1:4 is the appropriate, but I admit I often add a little extra...full, not level cups of sugar. If they're still around, then I doubt any harm has come to them, simply adjust your recipe and enjoy the birds. I also wanted to write about the picture of the three birds feeding at one time...amazing!!!! I have only four birds and they fight like cats and dogs at the feeder. |
Whew! Thanks rita! That was reassuring! |

I put in a little extra sugar last week when I got the 20 instead of my usual 3 after Hurricane Gustav. I knew they had not been able to eat during the hurricane because even before the feeder flew across the yard the wind was blowing too hard for them to stay hovering. They probably got a few mosquitoes but that is it. No nectar. Plus, they probably came up from the swamp which is somewhere in this parish (county) but a few miles away. It was still thin enough to dissolve and not be syrupy. I just felt that a little extra help was a good idea since an awful lot of flowers got blown away. It is no where near winter yet here, probably won't freeze until December or January and not at all if you are in New Orleans, which is only 60 miles. |
- Posted by hummersteve Indy (My Page) on Mon, Sep 29, 08 at 23:05
Going along with the too much sugar idea. I have had a bad wasp problem and so I bought 3 plastic wasp traps and I make the ratio 1-1 and add chunks of overripe fruit to that. Well all summer I didnt have a problem, caught a couple hundred wasps. But since migration was heavy under way I caught some hummers able to get into the traps thru small vent holes , remember not intentionally. They would stick their beaks thru these tiny holes. |

Hi everyone- I am new to this forum but I have had the exact same question about sugar formulas. I am sure many of you are familiar with Sheri Williamson who wrote "Attracting and feeding hummingbirds" a few years ago. I went to her website and I asked her that very question via email. Following I will quote her answer and a link to a site with research that has been done on nectar content of flowers. You may all be surprised to know that most hummingbird favored flowers contain more nectar than any of us thought. Quote from Sheri When I wrote Attracting and Feeding eight years ago, I was deliberately http://losbird.org/news/0326_201_news.pdf I now feed 3:1 most of the year, except during the very hot, dry days of late http://losbird.org/news/0326_201_news.pdf --please copy and paste this link and read and copy the article for the benefit of your birds. The nectar article begins on page 7. |
- Posted by vickilovesboxers (My Page) on Tue, Oct 7, 08 at 8:04
I just noticed that Rita has referenced that article above in her comments. Because of Sherri's email and that article I have been feeding 3:1 all summer. For the last couple days I have been feeding 2:1 to the last remaining migrating youngsters. Even though my yard is still full of natural food they LOVE the feeders. I had too may birds to count all summer at my feeders here in Delaware using the 3:1 formula. I kept 7 feeders up all over the yard and many times I have had six feeders at a time being used. Several hot days when we were in drought I went back to a 4:1-- but only temporarily. I plan on feeding 3:1 as my usual formula next year. Please read the article and just use common sense. I am convinced 3:1 is very safe. That is the content of Trumpet Creeper and that was my hummingbirds favorite flower in the yard this summer. Vicki |
Hi, Vicki. I'm one of those lucky enough to have hummers year-round. The resident Annas' are ever-present beautiful neighbors -- they nest in the arbor-vitae around the yard. I also switch to the stronger 3:1 mix in the cooler months, about Oct to May. When night temps dip below freezing, this ratio seems to stay liquid to about 28 degrees. (I switch back to 4:1 mix in the warmer months so the 10 lb bags of sugar last longer! Doesn't it seem like the price of sugar is rising faster than other stuff? ) |
- Posted by vickilovesboxers (My Page) on Wed, Oct 8, 08 at 19:25
Yes, Rita the price of sugar does seems to be rising FAST--especially when I change my feeders almost daily! I think I may have seen my last hummers of the season though. I had two young migrating birds here through Oct.4 I have not seen any hummer since Saturday. I will keep my feeders up till November just in case! I live in southern Delaware and only have the Ruby Throat from March through October. Makes me sad but I guess I won't have to buy so much sugar from now till March. |

I'm sorry but I don't understand people. I've read horror stories about what people give hummers. Can you give them too much sugar? Why take the chance? Be safe and don't cause them any harm. I've read too much sugar can DAMAGE their little KIDNEYS, I did not hear anything about this on this thread. Does anyone mention that "sugar" is not natural like flowers and giving them extra "sugar" may hurt them. Of course they are going to want it. Just like kids, they will eat all the extra sugar they can if you give it too them. Too much is bad for them. People are concerned about eating healthy, why not make sure the hummers are too. I personally will only do the 1 to 4 ratio because I do not want to harm them or damage their kidneys in any way shape or form. People who use red food coloring or use premixed stuff should be reading labels. Why give them anything with chemicals in it. Please people be concerned about their health, why take chances??!!

Hi Nancy- please go to the site that I have given the web address for above and please read the article. Scientific studies have been done and cane sugar almost exactly matches what hummers get in flowers---and the sugar concentration in very many of their flowers is at least 33%. Some flowers actually have a 50% ratio of sugar. I would never use that in my feeders but rehabilitators sometimes use that formula for sick birds. I know you are looking out for the birds but I think if you read that article it will give you peace of mind. |

stronger solutions help mama hummingbird Posted by carolreese z7 TN (My Page) on Tue, Apr 21, 09 at 14:44 I meet with lots of resistance on this topic, but let me stress that I have read many scientific papers on hummingbird feeding and metabolism before I began making my solution 1 part sugar to 2 parts water. I will mention the scientific studies throughout, so that you may do your own investigations. If you read the studies, you will find that many of the flowers that hummingbirds prefer have nectar concentrations anywhere from thirty percent sugar to an astounding forty-three percent (jewelweed). Some of the desert salvias have even higher concentrations. Here is a link that will list a number of studies on this topic. http://www.springerlink.com/content/r12612v82625n115/ Researchers found that some of the "hummingbird flowers" that have lower sugar concentrations, are that way in order to discourage bees, which on certain floral structures are NOT good pollinators. Apparently the flower needs hummingbird business but not bees. If you average the sugar concentrations of the flowers a hummingbird visits, it runs around 31-33%. For starters, I recommend reading a report by two scientists, Hainsworth and Wolf, biologists with Syracuse University. They studied the feeding habits of hummingbirds presented with different sugar solutions. They found that a hummingbird takes in about the same amount of calories per hour. If the solution is strong, they visit the feeder just a few times an hour. If the solution is weak, the birds visit much more often to take in the same number of calories. Here is the link. http://www.hummingbirds.net/hainsworth.html Hummingbirds are actually insectivores, but require a lot of sugar to fuel their search, and fuel is the operative word. A hummingbird must take in an enormous amount of nectar, several times its body its body weight each day. The feeding day is a balance between energy expended for the calories gained. That's one reason hummingbirds prefer feeders with perches. In fact, hummingbirds spend as much as 80% of the day perched, conserving their energy. After learning this, I began making my solutions stronger, two parts water to one part sugar, or about 33%. Those who insist a solution this strong is dangerous, must be unaware of this study, or aren't thinking it through. The little birds are eating the SAME AMOUNT of sugar per hour, they just don't have to work so hard to get it. I feel entirely comfortable making my sugar solutions stronger after reading that hummingbirds take in about the same amount of calories per hour regardless of the strength of the sugar solution. Weaker solutions just make the hummingbird visit the feeder more often, making it work harder, burn more fuel...and no, a thicker syrup is NOT hard for the hummers to lap up, this is another of those silly unfounded claims. I want to make the case for a stronger solution helping out the mama hummer. She is a single mom, getting absolutely no help from the male. She alone incubates the eggs, and has only a few minutes away from them each hour to feed. Once the eggs hatch, she must struggle to keep the hatchlings fed as well, regurgitating nectar and small insects, as well as meet her own needs. A stronger solution means she has to work a little less hard. Also realize that all hummingbirds actually need to put on weight later in the summer to bulk up for the coming migratory flight. Hummingbirds drop about 40% of their body weight during the flight south to Central America. Speaking at a conference in Pennsylvania a few years ago, I made my case for stronger sugar solutions to an audience that apparently did not take it well. A few days after returning home, I received a scolding email stating that my recommendations were dangerous for hummingbirds. One of the claims made in the email was that the hummingbirds might become diabetic. Apparently this person did not know about the study done by Dr. James Hargrove in Georgia that explored the reasons hummingbirds were able to take in so much sugar without becoming diabetic. You can read about it here. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1325055 Another claim made in the email was that the hummingbirds would need straight water after drinking such a rich mixture and would sip from puddles that might contain pesticides or radiator fluid, poisoning the thirsty little birds. Apparently they did not know about the studies by Drs. Hiebert and Calder, among others, that discussed the problems created by too much water intake. It seems that maintaining a balance of necessary minerals and salts is difficult for a bird that must drink so much fluid throughout the feeding day. Dilute nectar results in more frequent urination which results in loss of minerals and salts, just as you would lose electrolytes if you drank excessive amounts of water. Hummingbirds have occasionally been observed (Adams and Des Lauriers) licking soil, that was later tested and found to have high levels of phosphorous, potassium and calcium. Hmm, seems like a weaker solution is more likely to have birds licking up dangerous compounds, rather than the opposite - though that claim was ludicrous from the start. I was also scolded for using more sugar since that might cause more land to go into sugar production. This is where I realize this person did not even understand the first study I recommended she read - where Hainsworth's research showed that the hummingbird will take in the same amount, I repeat, the same amount of sugar each hour, it is just that it takes fewer visits if the sugar mixture is richer. Maybe she can't understand that means that I am not using more sugar, I am just making the hummers caloric needs easier to satisfy. Of course the amount of sugar I use in my feeders compared to the sugar in the soft drinks, candy and cookies in this country is miniscule, so that objection was laughable to start with. It's astonishing how some people react to new information, especially information that may question long held beliefs. When I asked the person who wrote the email for references to back her claims, she quoted several "hummingbird experts", people who had written books, for example. When I pressed her for the science that supported their recommendations, there was no response. I supplied her with my references, and hoped to hear that she'd learned from their research. I'm still holding my breath. |

Thank you so much Carol for your info.--after much reading and a personal email from Sheri Williamson --I too began feeding a stronger sugar solution as I have stated above. I have a 33% solution out now for the depleted and exhausted new arrivers. I really wish people would do more research before they scold so loudly. All new research is indicating that Hummers get more than a 20% ratio in many of their favorite flowers. I have a lot of trumpet vine on my property and it is a favorite for my hummers-Trumpet vine is about a 33% ratio and that is about all my Hummers will eat (other than my feeders)when it is in bloom! |
- Posted by mbuckmaster 7B/NC (My Page) on Tue, Apr 21, 09 at 20:58
I'm a little uncertain about the ratios involved here...is 33% necessarily equal to 2:1 water to sugar? The reason I ask is that I seem to recall that solids are not dissolved in equal parts into liquids. That is to say, if you were to convert sugar to a liquid form of equal viscosity BEFORE combining it with the water, you could use equal parts. But taking a solid form of sugar--as I think I can safely assume we all do--will result in a different percentage of sugar to water ratio, I think. It's the old "weight vs. volume" issue that culinary experts struggle with. I'm speaking in generalities and with no expert knowledge...any chemists or chefs out there who can help with this? Very interesting discussion. |

Hi mbuckmaster- the formula I am referring to was given to me by Sheri Williamson and it is 1 cup of sugar to 3 cups of water. According to my understanding we do not have to be worried if we are a little over or a little under. Sheri is not some much referring to ratio, as to what the everyday unscientific person(like me) would understand. I am only using 1 cup of sugar to 2 cups of water very temporarily for the exhausted migraters. So my solution is based on cups of water to cups of sugar and therefore not technically exact. I am sorry to be confusing--the best way to say it is 3:1 or 2:1 water then sugar. I am going to repost Her email to me below Quote from Sheri When I wrote Attracting and Feeding eight years ago, I was deliberately http://losbird.org/news/0326_201_news.pdf I now feed 3:1 most of the year, except during the very hot, dry days of late http://losbird.org/news/0326_201_news.pdf --please copy and paste this link and read and copy the article for the benefit of your birds. The nectar article begins on page 7. Carol above uses a 2 water 1 sugar formula for everyday-- I am really going to think about that. I really believe it does no harm to the birds since much of their natural nectar is that formula.I also believe it is very beneficial to migrating birds, and I use that formula in spring and fall. The rest of the time I use 3 water 1 sugar. |
It is NOT possible to give a hummer "too much sugar". Hummers only consume the necessary calories to survive - if you give higher concentration nectar (like 2:1 vs the "standard" 4:1), all it means is that the hummers have to visit the feeder half as much, allowing more time for rest and/or eating protein (bugs) or feeding their young. I've been feeding my hummers 2:1 (water to sugar) for years. I go thru ~700 lbs of sugar a year, so using higher concentration nectar has been a god send - fewer refills and fewer cleanings, but the hummers get all the calories they need. That said, I still have to fill my 48 oz Perky Pet "Grand Master" model 220's every day during the summer. |

I saw on hummingbirds.net with a video on how a hummingbird drinks, they reported that a hummer will usually go for a sugar source 20 to 40 percent more than the regular recommended. It sustains there flight longer. Just reporting what the experts said. If they come back for more to your feeder, I don't think it is harming them. |
My yard is quite small but I have many feeders up, including two in the middle of the empty bedroom upstairs which they seem to really enjoy. I fill the feeders with different nectar ratios (3:1 ~ 5:1) and let the hummers decide which feeders they want to drink from. Unfortunately, because they seem to prefer different feeder styles or its locations as well as the different nectar sweetness, I haven't figured out what their favorite might be. |
Thanks for a very informative post, vicki. I've been using 3:1 this fall. They don't have to come back to the feeder as often, and can spend their time hunting bugs. They need the little extra for their long trip. |

MERRILLVILLE — Looking from a distance, the unofficial winner of Saturday's Merrillville wrestling semistate had to be Lowell.
Lowell isn't a small school but it is less than half the size of Crown Point, Portage, Penn and Merrillville.
Saturday, on the purple mats at Merrillville, the Pirates won the semistate championship and had seven state qualifiers.
Crown Point had four state qualifiers, and like Merrillville finished with two champions in seniors Trevor Burlison (132) and Dusty Schurg (152) taking home gold medals.
Merrillville's winners were 170-pound sophomore Bobby Steveson and heavyweight Shawn Streck. Portage had four state qualifiers but no semistate champs.
Lowell's only winner was freshman Drew Hughes (120) but it had three third place winners in Kenny Hughes (160), Ryan Paterson (195) and Mitch Roadruck (145).
Lowell, again, stood as tall as the much larger schools on the biggest stage in wrestling and the things is: They weren't that surprised.
"I never really looked at it like that," said coach Bobby Howard, the former Red Devil state champ who understandebly considers Lowell's wrestling program equal to that of the big DAC schools. "I do. I knew coming into ths year that dual meet-wise we'd be average or a little better, but that we have six of seven who were going to be tough in the individual tournament. It just doesn't come as much of surprise that we are right there with them. We just expect to be."
CP's Burlison was not favored to win at 132 pounds but he expected to win, pinning Clay's Mitch Hartman, 8-6 to win his fourth match of thre day, the semistate championship and a lot of pride.
"It feels great to make him break," Trevor said. "I knew he was going to. That was my plan. I've seen him take many injury times to get his inhaler. It was my goal to make him quit. In the room, we (his teammates) are not friends. We get into it. We put our nose to the grindstone and get after it. It's worth everything.
"It's definitely the highlight of my career. I was predicted to get third. I took it as a slap in the face. I came in trying to make a point of getting on top of the podium."
Crown Point had an unexpected day. While Burlison and Dusty Schurg won, undefeated regional champions Josh Fuqua and Morgan Kral both lost.
Fuqua lost 2-1 in the finals 126 but He can still win state. Kral cannot. He lost his opener 6-4 and, even though he won two consolation matches and finished fifth.
It seems unfair that an undefeated wrestler can win two of three matches at the semistate and be eliminated from the state tournament.
But many in the crowd at Merrillville thought that it was unfair that Fuqua lost the 126-pound title.
The CP sophomore appeared to score a takedown with 17 seconds left to go ahead of Twin Lakes' Blake Denton 3-2, but the Twin Lakes coach questioned the call.
Meet officials conferred and overturned the ruling even though Fuqua appeared to be in bounds and have control of Denton.
Local fans booed as Denton hung on to win 2-1.
Dusty Schurg defeated South Bend Adams's Sam Ferdig 2-1 in the title match at 152 pounds, but it had to be a litle bittersweet for him as younger brother Darden Schurg lost early and finished sixth and ended his season.
"It was really hard to see him lose," Dusty said. "But I couldn't let it bug me. I've been wrestling all my life. This is my last year. I want to end up on top of the podium. I might've slacked for a match or two, but I'm going to really prepare, train my hardest and be ready to go."
Like Fuqua, Lowell's Kenny Hughes, Drew's older brother, lost for the first time this season in the semifinals 1-0 against Highland Mark Maldanoado, who went on to win the semistate title.
Kenny Hughes won the third place match 5-0 over Merrillville's Matt Hollins, and he still is in good position to go to the final eight (with a win Friday) and battle for the state title at 160.
Roadruck and Patterson both took the third place match which gives them a chance at the finals.
Fourth place finishers at the semistate are matched against other region's semistate champs, who are often undefeated state-rated stars.
Placing third at the semistate matches you against a second place finisher from another region, a much better option if you wish to survive.
Hanover Central state champ Steve Micic moved on in his bid to join Andrew Howe as the school's only multiple state champions by winning four times easily, finally by tech fall 19-4 in the championship match at 113.
"Obviously, that's what I'm working for," he said, "but you can't really overlook anything. You have to stay in the moment. I'll do the same thing this week, train hard, make sure I'm perfecting my technique. I made a few mistakes I want to fix."
Micic remembers the state finals, where he won at 106 pounds last February.
"I love it." he said. "It was a cool experience. It was an awesome feeling and I want to do it again."
If there was a highlight to the day for CP, other than the two champs, it was senior Matt Langbehn, who won his first two matches and eventually finished fourth, qualfiying for the state finals after losing the championship match at both the sectional and regional.
"I'm very happy," Matt said after his second win. "I just knew I had to work harder. I just think you have to learn from every match.
"I lost the sectional (to Hanover's Tony Scott) with two seconds left. I could have run around in circles. I didn't have a stalling penalty on me at that point. I could have just walked around the ring. Today, I won by a point and I remembered that. I just thought, 'I can't let that happen again.'
"Sometimes when I go out there, I forget that that's another kid who's been doing the same thing I have. He doesn't know what I've been doing. Whether I've been winning or losing. He does not know what's happened to me at all. Sometimes I forget that."
The state finals begin with preliminary matches Friday night at what is now called Banker's Life Fieldhouse (fomerly Conseco Fieldhouse) in downtown Indianapolis.
Friday winners advance to the quarterfinals and wrestle three times for final honors Saturday.
SEMSTATE NOTES: It's not biting commentary to say that new format of the semistate does not work well.
If a wrestler loses his first match, he then falls into a consolation bracket where he's wrestling for fifth place.
Since only the top four finishers go to the finals, the last two consolation matches are meaningless and often without spirit.
The worthless fifth-place bracket extends the meet to a painful time length. Saturday's semistate meet ended after 8:30 p.m., and that's an almost 12-hour day.
It's just too long, especially for teams that traveled 100 miles away and won't get home until midnight in the Eastern time zone.
You don't have to be a wrestling expert to see that there's just no need for semistate consolation matches for boys who cannot advance to the state finals.

I love this for my hair! Not greasy at all and easily untangles my post-shower hair. I like that it's cetyl/cetearyl alcohol free. The scent goes away after a while.
I love this product! It leaves my hair nice and smooth. I only use it once i get out of the shower. However, it makes my hair fall out. A little bit goes a long way! The packaging is weird. I had to poke a hole with my scissors to get the product to come out but i do recommend this to anyone with super tangley hair like mine
I have mid-back-length, fine hair that is mildly tangle-prone. I thought I'd try this product to reduce tugging on my hair when I comb through it. But this doesn't make my hair easier to comb through, and it's horribly over-scented. I usually love scented products, so when I saw other reviewers saying this detangler is strongly scented, that didn't deter me from buying it. Well, they were right. I used only a small amount and my husband came into the bathroom saying he could smell it from the living room. I washed my hair because I didn't want to go around all day smelling of super fruity gasoline. Won't use again.
Love this stuff! I use this right after I take a shower on my towel dried hair and it leaves it so soft and healthy looking. I don't have trouble with tangles (I don't even have to comb through my hair in the morning) so I don't know how this works on detangling. I use this mainly because it makes my hair really soft and the smell is probably the best smelling product I've ever used. Overall, I'll repurchase this over and over.
No! I used this on myself and it made my hair greasy, so bad that I had to shampoo again to remove it. I really dislike this and definitely wouldn't recommend for kids or adults to use.
Blech!! Maybe I used to much, but this left my hair weighed down and greasy all day = :(. I couldn't wait to wash this out. It did help with detangling though.
PROS: Inexpensive. Conditions well. Helps with detangling. Not greasy. Can be used wet or dry.
CONS: Scent a little strong for a kid product but not unpleasant.
Overall, I would DEFINITELY repurchase this product! It's great :)
Great detangler! It smells really good and works awesome too. I use it when my hair is wet after the shower and my hair becomes so soft and easy to brush through. Pretty inexpensive...about 3 bucks. Nice :)

[1457] Dysregulated MYC Expression in Aggressive Mantle Cell Lymphomas
Michael J Kluk, Papiya Sinha, Paola Dal Cin, Scott J Rodig. Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA
Background: The cell cycle regulators MYC (c-MYC) and cyclin D1 are well-recognized oncoproteins in B-cell lymphomas. Nearly all Burkitt lymphomas (BL) and a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) exhibit elevated MYC protein expression due to transcriptional deregulation following a balanced translocation involving MYC and, most commonly, the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IgH). In contrast, most mantle cell lymphomas (MCL) exhibit elevated cyclin D1 expression due to rearrangement between Cyclin D1 (CCND1) and IgH. Interestingly, the presence of a MYC rearrangement and/or gains of the MYC locus have been reported in rare cases of MCL and may be associated with a more aggressive course. Our objective was to improve our understanding of pathological features of MYC+ MCL by directly assessing MYC protein expression using immunohistochemical detection.
Design: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for MYC using a rabbit monoclonal antibody was performed on 5um formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections from reactive tonsil, BL, MYC translocation positive-DLBCL and 28 cases of MCL using the Ventana Benchmark platform. The percentage of nuclei positive for MYC was scored by two pathologists and the results were correlated with the morphologic subtype, Ki67 proliferation fraction and genetic status.
Results: Nuclear MYC expression was detected in approximately 10% of lymphocytes in tonsillar tissue, but was detected in >50% tumor nuclei in all cases of BL and MYC translocation positive-DLBCL. Among all MCL cases tested, a majority (22/28 cases, 79%) demonstrated a low MYC score (≤50% tumor nuclei positive, range: 5-50%). However for a minority of cases (6/28 cases, 21%), we observed a high MYC score comparable to that seen for MYC translocation positive-DLBCL and BL (>50% tumor nuclei positive, range: 60-80%). All cases of MCL with a high MYC score had a high Ki67 proliferation index. In addition, a high MYC score corresponded with a morphologic diagnosis of an aggressive variant of mantle cell lymphoma (eg, blastoid or pleomorphic) in 5/6 cases. Interestingly, the increased MYC expression observed in a subset of MCL was not uniformly associated with an underlying MYC translocation.
Conclusions: Increased MYC protein expression, comparable to that observed in MYC translocation positive-DLBCL and BL, is characteristic of a subset of aggressive MCL. However, dysregulated MYC expression in MCL can occur independently of the typical balanced translocations observed for BL and MYC+ DLBCL. These results suggest that dysregulated MYC expression contributes to the development of a subset of aggressive MCL.

Pedestrian Safety Campaign
Chula VistaÆs Engineering and Police departments have launched a new Pedestrian Safety campaign with banners, brochures and stepped-up enforcement measures. The campaign, which runs now through January, puts a special emphasis on pedestrian safety near schools.
A series of banners cautioning pedestrians, drivers and bicyclists to ōBe Alertö are posted along busy thoroughfares throughout the city. The City is working with Chula VistaÆs schools to drive home the safety message in the classroom. Children are often the least predicable pedestrians and the most difficult to see. Public service announcements and community and school safety meetings will be scheduled as part of the campaign.
During a high concentration traffic law enforcement operation October 30, Chula Vista police stopped 42 pedestrians for violationsŚin most cases jaywalking.
In a series of resident surveys, traffic safetyŚespecially pedestrian safety-- tops the lists of concerns. From January 2003 to June 2008, there were 294 collisions involving pedestrians in Chula Vista. While drivers are at fault in most collisions, pedestrians cause 33% of the accidents, often crossing against signals or darting into traffic from the middle of the block. Twenty-six percent of the collisions involve pedestrians under the age of 16. Because so many collisions involve school-age children, the campaign is targeting students with a strong safety message.
In crashes with cars, pedestrians are almost always injuredŚeven at slow speeds. A pedestrian hit at 20 mph will suffer serious injuries and has a 15% chance of being killed. At 40 mph, the pedestrianÆs death rate jumps to 85%.

Ordered a green set with this one (which was broken). The items in this order were OK. Nice solid pieces, good color. Not too keen on having the brand name emblazoned so prominently. A little more subtle would have been nice.

I know some were talking about coming early so.. I was just wondering if any of yous/y'all had decided when you are going to arrive and if anyone plans on bringing any food items. I think I heard something about grills being at the park? I'm game to bring a dish OR maybe there is a place to eat nearby? Maybe an awful waffle we can all pile in? LOL |

- Posted by ncgardengirl z7 NC (My Page) on Sun, Aug 31, 08 at 13:45
An Awful Waffle? mmm, Sounds yummy...lol. They have gone down hill over the years haven't they? I am game to bring something... I like socializing. Or meeting somewhere there on HWY 101 there are plenty of places to eat at. Don't know if the restaurant would appreciate too many flower nerds piling in on them but hey, you never know. LOL. Would anyone else care to meet before the swap to eat at a restaurant or would you want to bring something and hang out after the swap OR before and have a lunch/dinner? I am game for what anyone else might want to do. Oh and I see what time you posted this, do you EVER sleep?, I thought I was bad, I have actaully been getting sleepy the last 4 or 5 nights can you believe it? I know and the one time you ARE sleeping WHO comes knocking at your door? Geesh I'm still regretting that....lol :) Fran |
I slept. I just woke up real early. When you have three kids in a small house sometimes getting up real early or staying up real late is the only way to get any quiet time. |
- Posted by transplanted2scin07 7b upstate SC (My Page) on Mon, Sep 1, 08 at 16:50
Yes, there are charcoal grills there. I plan on bringing a dessert of some kind; probably my chocolate cherry coconut brownies. The closest Awful Houses are out on Wade Hampton, along with a hundred other eating places. I'm drawing a blank on eating places nearby on Rte 101. |
"chocolate cherry coconut brownies" Yum? I can make some potato salad. We still looking at about 30 people? |
- Posted by ncgardengirl z7 NC (My Page) on Mon, Sep 1, 08 at 20:33
"chocolate cherry coconut brownies" OMG those sound SOOO good!!! So are we planning on bringing pick-ups or what? Or are we planning on going to a Restaurant to swarm on them..lol. Somebody just tell me what the plan is and I'm there ;)! :) Fran |
It would probably be best for the plants if we found a way to grab a bite while we are at the park. Instead of being stuffed up in trunks and such they can just sit out during lunch. It'll definitely be cheaper. |
- Posted by countrygirl_sc 7 SC (My Page) on Wed, Sep 3, 08 at 12:04
30 people!! I've only seen a few posting that say they are coming! |
- Posted by love2gardennc z7b NC (My Page) on Wed, Sep 3, 08 at 16:17
I am all for meeting early say around noon and sharing lunch with gardening friends. One swap that I went to we all brought our own picnic lunches and then shared some extras that traders brought such as cookies, brownies, watermelon. That would give us time to exchange swaps that we set up beforehand and to get to know what others have to trade. I too am somewhat confused by 30 people as I have only seen a few folks expressing interest. |
I apologize, she said two dozen in the email and I did some sort of math in my head that I can't rightly recall at the moment and somehow came up with thirty people. It was two dozen at the time of the email and I added two people to the list that I am bringing. I have no clue where the other four came from. LOL. I guess I should rephrase my question: How many people do we have so far? Or How many people do I need to make potato salad for? Picnic lunches sound great too. |
- Posted by countrygirl_sc 7 SC (My Page) on Thu, Sep 4, 08 at 10:37
I am only about 15 minutes away from the Swap. I will bring something - usually bring a key lime cake. Fran, you had some of it at the Rutherford Swap, didn't you? Not sure what else I'll bring at this moment - will think about it.... |
- Posted by countrygirl_sc 7 SC (My Page) on Thu, Sep 4, 08 at 10:46
I also like to bring Broccoli salad, it is made with fresh broccoli, raisins, and some other stuff. I really like it...or could bring some baked beans. |
- Posted by transplanted2scin07 7b upstate SC (My Page) on Thu, Sep 4, 08 at 20:41
I don't have any exact number on who will or won't be there. My original email was sent to about 24 people, but the number who actually show will be as much a mystery as the plants. I believe there were 2 people who emailed me to say they were not coming, and a couple who said they were. The rest either didn't email or have discussed it here. No worries, we'll make do with whatever food we have. I'm liking the sounds of all the dishes mentioned so far! I guess I'll tell hubby if he wants to come and partake of the food (well, you don't REALLY think he's coming for the plants, do you?), he'll have to bring something HE made! I'll try to remember to let people know via one final email that some of us will be there with food around noonish. That way, if they're not checking this site, they'll still be clued in. |
- Posted by ncgardengirl z7 NC (My Page) on Thu, Sep 4, 08 at 21:24
key lime cake... OMG YES!!! I forgot about that...Ummm...Yummy!!! ME WANT MORE....lol. ME don't bake, but me eat others baked goodies, hehe. Well, I don't know what anyone would be in the mood for but I am up for suggestions. Food wise, we COULD do hot dogs. IF someone else wants to bring buns and stuff, someone else could bring plants and napkins and such. Someone could bring homemade hot chili. Chips and other sides. Someone else charcoal. WHO would man the grill? If this could be arranged that would be great. Anyone else game to organize a hotdog lunch? :) Fran |
- Posted by ncgardengirl 7b 8a NC (My Page) on Fri, Sep 19, 08 at 23:56
WELL, it would have been wonderful if more ppl would have wanted to do food.... Alrighty then...LET THE FUN BEGIN... :) Fran |

The first team didn't, "show up" in the words of a frustrated Lady Cougars coach Katie Willingham, but the second team did. The Lady Cougars lost game one 8-0 then won game two 5-3 to earn a split of the non-conference twin bill.
"The girls just didn't show up in the first game," said Willingham. "The tempo was slow from the get-go, and we never picked it up. The team that played in game two is the team that I expect to see every time out. They never quit and fought and played hard till the end."
In the second game, Amber Covington blasted a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put the Lady Cougars (14-23) on top 1-0.
Gordon tied the game in the bottom of the sixth when Amanda Voyles doubled and scored on a sacrifice fly.
The Lady Cougars exploded in their next turn at the dish in the seventh. Sara O'Rear started the uprising by rattling the fence for a double and Leslie Still reached on an error. With two outs, Maura Ditto put the Lady Cougars on top with one swing of her bat, crushing a three-run homer for a 4-1 advantage. Sydney Howel put the exclamation point on the frame with a solo shot of her own which would turn out to be a big run.
The Highlanders mounted a rally of their own in the bottom of the seventh after a walk and a hit batter both came around to score on a double from Brittany Sinkfeld. But the rally ended there and the Lady Cougars held on to get the win and a split of the day's events.
Kelsey Capella went the distance to get the win for the Lady Cougars while Whitney Parrish took the loss for Gordon.
The home team made quick work of their guests in game one. RBI singles from Emily Brown and Voyles, together with an error resulted in a 3-0 lead for Gordon in the third inning.
Olivia Wolfe and Kaydee Boyle each singled in a run in the fifth to push the lead to 5-0 while a passed ball, three walks and a single from Sinkfield finished game one in the sixth.
Wolfe twirled a two-hit shutout to pick up the win while Kelsey Haley took the loss for Cleveland State. O'Rear was the hitting star of the day for Cleveland State as she had five hits including the only two Lady Cougar hits in game one while Still was 2-for-4 in game two.
Cleveland State will host Dyersburg State this weekend for a four-game set in the last home games of the season.
