I have acquired a few shoots of bamboo and grower does not now the identity. I know it is a clumping variety, grows approximately 12 -15 feet in height, the mature cane is approximately 1 inch in diameter...beyond that we know nothing. I have pictures of the remnants of the cane which was bush hogged about ten days ago as well as new shoots that are coming up. There is one photo of a few shoots where the leaves have opened. What do you recommend for identifying this variety? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Unfortunately that's far too little info to make an identification. You'd need to provide photos of mature culms with foliage to even get in the ballpark. Also, why are you sure it's a clumper? There are many runners that can stay in clump form for years. Have you examined the root structure? Sorry to be so unhelpful, but there are over 1200 species of bamboo and they can sometimes be difficult to identify in the best of circumstances. |

Directional Versus Not Down
TheStreet Premium Services
A complimentary preview
of Options-Profits Previews
When we talk about stocks we are inherently talking about a directional play. If you buy a stock then it must go up in order to make money. If you sell a stock short then it must go down to make money. In both cases it makes money point for point in accordance with the directional movement.
However, many option plays are very different. In particular, when we sell a put it is a bet on "not down". Options are inherently wasting assets. They lose value with time. As a result if we sell a put we can simply wait for the time value to expire. Thus a put sale can be profitable if the stock only goes sideways. One cannot say this about a stock trade which is inherently directional.
The importance of this difference is reflected in the probability of making money. When we invest in a stock, either long or short we are always looking at about a 50-50 bet. But when we sell an out of the put option the odds can go north of 90% in our favor. That is a big difference.

Here's a WIP to whet your appetite! I am using birdhouse gourds that I grew last year. I cleaned them, washed them with bleach water, dried and then two coats of Kilz. I am using Dap acrylic kitchen and bath adhesive and GEII.(Whichever I pick up) It is going smoothly and giving me lots of practice with my keystoning. It keeps raining and keeping me indoors so I am making tiles and working on this gourd. Stay tuned for more pics. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Birdhouse gourd WIP

You are my inspiration Slow. Don't let that broken foot slow you down...you have done a lot more beautiful pieces than I will ever think about doing. Thanks Cindiloo...just puttering around..I drew this out on paper and doodled with it then drew it on the gourd. |

great lookin B-house gourd. i love the design and colors. i have done a few, and the Carolina wrens love them. they made a family right on the back porch, behind the swing, it's fun to sit and watch them sneak around to thier house to feed the little ones. maybe someone could do an exchange on mosaiced gourds??bonnie |
Thanks to all of you. Kat- Keystoning is making your tiles go around curves without leaving a big gap on the outside of the curve. Thus you cut each tile or every other tile at an angle to make the curve. Do a google on Sonia King and her new book, I think Amazon will show you an excerpt on it and it explains it better than I can. Bonnie- I have some small gourds and some with a lot of shape to them, I am going to try them also. I just cleaned two huge bushel basket gourds,they will dry today and tomorrow I will work on the insides and get them cleaned out. I have a couple neat designs already worked out for them too. I work on this one inside in between doing the yard work and working in the garage on my ceramics. Ronnie- When I clean these two big ones, I will share some seeds with you and any on the rest of you,let me know and I will share what I have. This thing is fun to do and keeps me occupied, lol, like I need some more to do. |
I'd love to take you up on sharing some of those seeds! I think even I can grow a gourd or two without screwing it up! |
- Posted by curbdiver1954 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 25, 08 at 18:45
That is gorgeous! The swoops and circles are perfectly suited to the contours of the gourd....not to mention perfectly executed! Any bird should be proud to call it home "tweet" home...LOL! Pat |
Wow, Flag! That keystoning is absolutely beautiful and you show well how it works. It was really fun to get this photo right after getting the link to how this is done. Wonderful! I have a whole stack of plates with that same print design you used there. I wasn't sure it'd make up on a birdhouse really well. But...Hmmmmm, inspiration! Beautiful. I can hardly wait to see your group of these gourds finished. |
Cindiloo, send me your address and I will get some to you. firstname.lastname@example.com |

Incorrect. Some items, like the elegant dress, have to be obtained from an egg to gain the achievement.
Curse, WoW Interface band together to block WoWMatrix {WoW}
Apr 14th 2009 10:07AM I use the "my favorites" function of wowinterface for checking my addons.
As for Curse, I do not like their client system.
In fact, I do NOT want a system that does not check my addons, on my computer, against the actual latest version available. An addon manager that checks a "cache" of downloads on my computer is not a true updater, in my humble opinion.
I do also use wowmatrix.

Hi all!
I've been decorating cakes out of my kitchen and sometimes out of a commercial kitchen for over 12 years. About 1-1/2 years ago I had to get a "real" job in a restaurant kitchen. Needless to say I haven't decorated a cake since taking the job.
Anyway, I have an opportunity at a high dollar cake boutique (mostly they do cupcakes, but they are starting to get more requests for cakes- and they specifically told me they needed someone who can hit the floor running)..On Monday I'm going in for a second interview and they are asking me to decorate a cake. No specific theme, etc.
Here are my concerns:
1) I've never done a cake as a "test"....I don't know what to expect. Left to my own devices, I'm not sure what I should show them.
2) I've already shown them a slide show with over 40 of my cakes. I made sure I showed shape cakes, cupcakes, wedding cakes, square, round cakes, icing plaques, image transfers, fondant covered cakes, chocolate plastic work, sugar flowers and figurines. Some of those techniques require specialized tools and they said not to bring any of my own tools. So again what do I show them.
3) I'm assuming that most of the decorating will be done in buttercream since it is mostly a flavored cupcake boutique.
Any advice on what or how to decorate the cake...Anything I need to know from all you long time professional bakers?
IDK...Maybe I'm freaking out for nothing. The head baker there went to pastry chef school and I am self taught. I'm no slouch, and I've done some high brow stuff, but right now I feel pretty insecure....Any advice is welcome...
Thanks, Valscake

The Stability and Growth Pact is linked to EMU and is aimed at ensuring that Member States try to maintain budgetary discipline so that stability and growth can be strengthened in the EU.
According to the Stability and Growth Pact, Member States are obliged to maintain budgetary discipline in relation to public finances, which means that at normal levels of economic activity the Member States' government budgets shall be in surplus or close to balance.
Each year, as part of the system for monitoring compliance with the Stability and Growth Pact, the Member States must provide the Commission and the Council with key economic data. The economic data the euro countries must provide is presented as stability programmes, while the countries outside the euro must produce convergence programmes.
These include, among other things, information on the Member States' targets for the government budget for several years into the future, the forecast economic development, and details of the economic policy the Member State will implement to meet the targets of the Stability and Growth Pact.
On the basis of the economic data, the Commission assesses whether a country is going to have an excessive deficit. If the Commission considers that there is an excessive deficit or that one could arise, the Commission notifies the Council accordingly.
Council recommendations
It is then up to the Council to decide whether an excessive deficit exists. If the Council decides that an excessive deficit exists, the Council will make recommendations to the country to bring the situation to an end within a given period.
Enforcement notification by the Council
If the country does not follow the Council's recommendations, the Council, acting by qualified majority, may adopt an enforcement notification in relation to that country requiring it to take the necessary economic measures to put its budget in order. If the notification is not complied with, the Council has the option of several possible sanctions, including deciding that the country must deposit an amount without interest with the European Central Bank. The amount will become a fine if the budget deficit is still excessive after two years.
However, in relation to the Stability and Growth Pact the sanctions only apply to countries which are participating in the euro, and it is only euro countries that take part in voting on this in the Council.
In 2004 there was a great deal of controversy surrounding the Stability and Growth Pact. The question is whether the monitoring procedure described here works in practice when the countries gathered in the Council are to make politically sensitive decisions to impose economic injunctions and possibly sanctions on another Member State.
The Commission complained in a statement that the spirit and letter of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact had not been followed by the Council and then brought an action against the Council in the European Court of Justice, which delivered its judgment in 2004.
In June 2004 the European Council asked the Commission to submit a proposal which could strengthen and clarify the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact. In September 2004 the Commission presented a communication on possible measures to amend the Stability and Growth Pact. The European Council on 22-23 March 2005 adopted a reform of the Stability and Growth Pact. The reform is based on the Commission Communication from september 2004 and was negotiated by the Council at an extraordinary Council meeting on 20 March 2005. |
The guiding principle of the budget financing is that the Member States all contribute together to the EU budget without regard to whether overall, by virtue of transfers from the EU, the countries are net contributors or net beneficiaries. However, this is a principle with modifications. In 1984 the British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, won a special rebate for the United Kingdom in connection with the financing of the EU's budget. The British were unhappy about paying substantially larger amounts into the EU's budget than they received in return in the form of agricultural subsidies, etc. Under the rebate the United Kingdom is repaid a certain percentage of the country's net contribution. The rebate was later extended so the large net contributors, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Sweden, receive rebates on the financing of the British rebate. In 2004 the Commission presented a proposal for the reform of the financing system in which it is proposed that the British rebate be replaced by a general rebate system. |

This is for Brow Enhancing Serum Advanced in the silver container (see photo I added)
UPDATE: I'M KNOCKING OFF 2 LIPPIES BECAUSE THIS MADE THE INNER HALF OF MY EYEBROWS BULGE, LIKE A CRO-MAGNON. I thought something looked weird, and in my car I could see my eyebrows and directly above them had "bulged". I had been putting NOTHING else on my face for days, so this caused it. Maybe I'm allergic? I don't know, but I think my brows on one side are actually thinner! than when I started.
This is expensive, and a pain to put on 2X EVERY day. AND IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME. Also, it leaves a plastic-like coating that can end up showing up in your brows later in the day.
Original Post:
I just bought this, and it's pricey for me. I'm going to update this review after I finish the tube.
I'm thinking this might only work to make your eyebrows as thick as they used to be when younger (for people like me who have brows that have thinned with age and lost the outer 1/3 of their brows). I wonder if it's not going to work for people who just naturally have thin brows, and have had thin brows since childhood.
I remember reading years ago about a product that would only make your hair like before it thinned rather than thicken hair that is naturally thin. This may be it or similar.

I should know better by now than believing anything can prod my sparse brows to grow. I found this product at Ulta a couple of months ago at half price (still expensive) and have been appling it twice a day, every day. Maybe it made my existing brow hairs a little darker, but the "tails" of my brows are as non-existent as ever and have to be pencilled in. This product just didn't work for me!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product did not help thickened my eyebrows at all. I used it night and day for two months and the only thing i saw was the same hair growth i see every month (without using this serum). They are still sparse looking. ): They tube is small and goes out quick. Maybe i needed to use it for a bit longer...not sure.
I'm missing parts of my brows and want it to grow back. The price is expensive for a small tube, that's why I asked my little sister to get it for me for Christmas. I've used it diligently and I don't have the growth back that I want. Maybe, it helped grow some of the hairs back, but certainly not enough. That's why I gave this 2 stars, because it didn't do the job that I hoped for. However I won't give it one star since it did help "promote" the growth of some hairs..
This product has worked for me, I am almost finished with serum and I have seen good results. After many years of over tweezing, waxing, and threading, my eyebrows became very sparse. Even when I would leave them alone for months, hair would not grow in certain areas. This product thickened my brows and enhanced new hair growth in my brow area. It took about 2 weeks before I noticed results and I have gradually noticed results since then. I use it twice a day, morning and night. I would not say that I have dramatically thicker brows, but I definitely have new hair growth I did not have before.
Update: The packaging could be better. It seems almost impossible to get the last bit of product out of the tube.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this didnt work for me. it make my brows really stiff. it didnt help them grow i , infact, i did a little test of my own and found that if i didnt use it compared to when i did use it my brows grew faster without the use of the product.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this product for a little over a month and have seen such an improvement to my brows. My brows are naturally thin and light-colored. Nu Brow has not only restored growth to areas that were sparse, but it has made my brows fuller in those areas as well.
In addition, this product acts as a great base to keep brows in place, or as a base layer before using a brow pencil and/or powder.
The magic of this product is really patience & dilligence; continue to use the product twice daily and you will be rewarded with new hair growth and fuller brows!
I overplucked above one of my eyebrows a couple of years ago and I have had a tiny patch where hair hasn't grown since. I wasn't expecting this product to work because I couldn't imagine that anything would make the hair grow again...but it did! I've been using it for about a month, fairly diligently (twice a day,) and the patch of hair has grown back! It's a miracle product, and worth the price because it's unlikely you'll ever have to buy more than one tube. Considering that it gives permanent results, I would be more than willing to buy it again (although I won't have to.)
This is expensive! Luckily, I got it in a swap.
I've been using it for just over two weeks. Right after two weeks, I noticed I had growth where I hadn't in YEARS! I've been wanting to make them a little fuller and thought I was just stuck until I heard about this product. It doesn't perform miracles, so far (unless you can't it a miracle that it grows hair where it had long been non-existent). I haven't had any luck for regrowth between my eyebrows, but everywhere else I've been trying, I'm seeing results. Give it time.
Added bonus - while I wear it (once in the morning and once at bedtime) it keeps my brows groomed. I don't need a separate product for that.
I'm wondering if I have to use this forever to keep the growth where it's now coming.
I have not gotten to the bottom of my container, so I don't know how much product will be left that the wand can't reach.
I was the victim of an evil waxer who took off half of my right brow! Ugh. This was recommended to me by my usual waxer. Did my brow grow back? Yeah. It did. But I don't think it grew back much faster than it would have if I hadn't been using this. Hard to get the last of the gel at the bottom, too -- though I do like it as a (really expensive!) brow groomer under BeneFit's Brow Zings. Will I rebuy? Naw, probably not. Here's hoping I don't get an insane waxer at my face again!

By David Glenn Cox
"A nation is truly corrupt, when, after having, by degrees lost its character and liberty, it slides from democracy into aristocracy or monarchy; this is the death of the political body by decrepitude." – Robespierre
Congratulations, if you're an hourly worker in the United States you've earned a .02 cent per hour raise last month! (April) Now of course, after earning almost a whole extra dollar per week, tax and investment advice should be sought out immediately. If you work in information services for a living, your hours worked increased this month, by one tenth of an hour. 2,691,000 Americans work in the "information" category and I guess they're lucky to be working that extra fractional hour, even if there are 9,000 less of them, working this month over last.
For everyone else, all 155 million of us American workers, hours worked in every category either fell or stayed the same. The propaganda networks will trumpet 165,000 "new" jobs and that's Winston Smith's way of telling you, everything is so much better now. Come out; come out where ever you are! Ollie, Ollie Ocean free! But under the veneer is another story entirely, a story that you will not see on TV or Radio.
While 165,000 new jobs were created last month, 210,000 workers joined the labor force.
The number of Americans working Part-Time, for economic reasons rose sharply by 278,000 in April, to nearly 8,000,000 people. Eight million people in this country that want a Full-Time job, but can't find one.
Part-Time due to slack work or business conditions rose to 5,250,000.
The number of Americans who could only find part-time work last month declined by 49,000.
Workers marginally attached to labor force were up by 21,000 and discouraged workers are also up by 32,000 workers.
Nearly 2,000,000 Americans now work two or more part-time jobs, an increase of over 20,000 since last April.
So just where are all these "new" jobs? Well, they're not in mining or logging and not in construction or manufacturing. They're not in durable goods or non-durable goods; they're not in wholesale trade or utilities and even our friends in "Information services" lost workers. The new jobs are to be found in private-service providing, 137,000 of 165,000 jobs are in the service industry.
Trade, Transport – 9,000
Retail – 13,000
Financial services – 19,000
Professional and business services – 50,000
Leisure and hospitality services – 36,000
Education & Health Services – 24,000
Other services – 4,000
Realty Trac reported this month, "The number of homes overall in foreclosure or bank-owned rose by 9 percent to 1.5 million properties nationally in the first quarter of 2013 compared to a year ago." Another 11 million homes remain under water, which brings us to Margaret Thatcher.
Margaret Thatcher once said, "There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families."
Margaret Thatcher was a Neoliberalist politician, same as Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Duh be you and Barack Obama. And Neoliberalist politicians, Republican and Democrat alike, believe just like Thatcher, that society, American society is only an artificial construct; they believe that it only exists because people say it does.
They believe we're all just free individuals and we might be our brother's keeper but definitely not yours. They believe the only rights which actually exist, are property rights; everything else, like society itself is an artificial construct. The Bill of Rights, the Magna Carta and the Constitution are all non-sense, to their way of thinking government owes nothing to the sick, the infirm or the dying.
From Wikipedia:
Neoliberalism is a political philosophy whose advocates support economic liberalization, free trade and open markets, privatization, deregulation, and decreasing the size of the public sector while increasing the role of the private sector in modern society.
Neoliberal politicians support: central banks, corporations, denationalization, deregulation and economic liberalization. They're fond of Free trade, fiat currencies, globalization, harmonization of law, intergovernmentalism, negative income tax, private property, school vouchers, tax cuts and tax reform.
Now, they also include in their list of things which they believe in, the word Democracy. Only, it's somewhat hard to understand how people, who don't believe in society, could believe in Democracy. Especially since the belief system they espouse is so detrimental to a huge majority of the electorate.
To the Neoliberalist, the rights of man mean nothing, no sermon on the mount, or died for your sins. The philosophy can best be explained in two words: money & power. If you as an individual have a billion dollars, you have rights, but if you don't have any money, then you have no rights. We attack Pakistani or Afghan peasants with drones, why? Because they have no rights!
We bail out bankers because?
We don't bail out homeowners in trouble because?
When the Supreme Court declares corporations have free speech rights, what are they really saying?
Neoliberalism is neofuedalism, or the rule of money. Government's job is just to keep the traffic lights working. It shall not hinder the corporation, the banker or the globalist. It's funny, sort of ironic, that a philosophy which does not believe in society depends so heavily upon police, but it falls back on that same old saw, if you have money you have rights and if you don't have money you don't. So through that lens it is easier to understand why so many police are necessary. There are so few with rights and so many without, that the few need protection from the many.
Are drones attacks in Pakistan helping you? No, of course not, they do the bidding of their masters. People like you and I, we don't count in a neoliberal… I almost said society, but since they don't believe in society, let's say existence.
Just imagine, a world without altruism, compassion or pity, a world where if I want it, I just take it and with enough money, whose gonna stop me? When Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face, investigating police were told "the Vice President is sleeping now, come back tomorrow."
Our economy has been cored out by Neoliberalism, we now export raw materials and import third world, low wage finished goods. If corporations aren't allowed to pollute, they simply pull up stakes and move to where they can and pay no penalty. In Tijuana Mexico, the city needs a new waste water treatment system. Free trade has swelled the ranks of the poor, eager for jobs once done by American labor. But because the workers are so poor and because corporations do not pay their fair share of taxes the sewage system is overwhelmed and the untreated toxic waste is dumped into the Pacific Ocean, where it washes up on Southern California beaches.
It is nothing less than a new dark age, a gilded age for the rich and a land without future or pity for the rest.
Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as "…[a]…citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]." In many nations, it is also often considered treason to attempt or conspire to overthrow the government, even if no foreign country is aiding or involved by such an endeavor.
Neoliberalism is treason, not just to a country or to a people, but to all peoples. It is nefarious and sinister, because it denies our basic humanity, our love of our fellow man. It makes individuals out of us to deny the responsibility of being a human being, replacing our hearts with a debit card, replacing our conscience with greed.
Society owes protection only to peaceable citizens; the only citizens in the Republic are the republicans. For it, the royalists, the conspirators are only strangers or, rather, enemies. This terrible war waged by liberty against tyranny- is it not indivisible? Are the enemies within not the allies of the enemies without? The assassins who tear our country apart, the intriguers who buy the consciences that hold the people's mandate; the traitors who sell them; the mercenary pamphleteers hired to dishonor the people's cause, to kill public virtue, to stir up the fire of civil discord, and to prepare political counterrevolution by moral counterrevolution-are all those men less guilty or less dangerous than the tyrants whom they serve? – Robespierre

Knin the old royal town A- A A+
Knin is an old Croatian royal town where, permanently or temporarily, the four most powerful Croatian kings ruled. Therefore it is not strange that even today, on a hill right next to the town, stands a military fort, the second largest fort in Europe. Its construction began in the 9th century.
Besides this impressive building, Knin will win you with its directness, youth (it is the town with the largest population of young people in Croatia), the abundance of historical and natural heritage, and with contrasts that enrich and ennoble it.
It is certainly a town that's worth visiting, a tourist destination that will excite any visitor.
Accomodation: Hotel, private lodgings and apartments, rooms and climbers chalet.
Natural sights
Waterfall Krčić and the source of river Krka, mountain Dinara (the highest mountain peak in Croatia) with a climbers chalet, seven rivers and three lakes in the vicinity of the city, Karst fields.
Heritage, Wine, Food
The fort in Knin, Kaptol (ex-Knin Cathedral), Diocese (one of the most important archaeological sites in Croatia – 7km from Knin), Topoljska gradina (hill-fort above the Krčić waterfall), Vila rustica in village Orlić...
Knin Enological and gastronomic assets include Dalmatian wines, smoked ham (prosciutto), cheese and lamb from local households in the vicinity of the city, excellent trout from the trout farm near the source of the river Krka.
Entertainment, Recreation, Excursions
Restaurants and cafés in the town, cycling tours, off-road excursions, mountain trips (climbers chalet Brezovica on Dinara), canoeing and rafting, hunting and fishing, horse-riding school, donkey shelter...

We've been watching a lot of The Sandlot lately. A lot. In typical 3-year-old style, my son watches and re-watches a movie until something new comes along. Thus: watching The Sandlot at least twice a day.
We can both recite it by heart.
It's flat out hilarious to hear a 3-year-old say "She knows exactly what she's doing… I can't take it anymore" only to get out of his kiddie pool in our front yard, stomp around to the other side and jump in the deep/er end. Entertainment at it's finest, folks.
In watching this movie back to back for … about 3 months now, I can't help but wonder what little Scotty Smalls' mom would think of our approach to parenting today. A prime example:
Early on in the plot, before the boys of the Sandlot have accepted Smalls as one of their own, his mom sits down with him in his bedroom and asks if he's made any friends. Smalls claims he's still new, but she's not buying. She wants him to get out in the fresh air. You know, be a kid. Lamenting his friendless fate, Smalls says he's not good at anything – he's just an egg head.
His mom's response: "You'll always be an egg head with an attitude like that."
Holy catfish! Can… can we say that?
Here's how I surmise that same situation might play out in a 10-year-old boy's bedroom across America today:
"Face it, I'm just an egg head."
"Oh, honey. NO! You're not an egg head. You're so smart. They're just jealous. Some day the kids will realize how much fun you are, until then it's their loss! They're missing out because you're awesome." And then secretly (or maybe not so secretly) the mom finds out these kids names and talks to their parents. Which could result in a pity invitation or even more teasing. If I were the betting sort, my money would be on the latter.
Ya killin' me, Smalls!
(Oh stop. You knew it was coming.)
Such a fine line between being empathetic and entitlement. Kids are so intuitive. They know what their peers think about them without a word ever being spoken. I'm no psychologist but teaching them the other kids are just wrong makes them feel better about themselves but it's just a band-aid. It doesn't teach them what to do with it. It doesn't teach them how to deal, especially if you create the solution for them too.
Kids need to know they are not defined by what others think. But even more so, they need to realize they hold the power to change the outcome, to change the perception – if they want. Smalls mom managed to do all that in a single sentence. I suspect it's far easier to teach that lesson over childhood spats than it is over larger, more real life issues. Who's going to be to blame if they get a bad grade? Or they don't get accepted to the college of their choice?
"I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it." – Charles Swindoll

People who ask you to do a lengthy and complicated task, then drag their feet on getting their part done so you can get started.
When you flounce out of the house to the DMV thinking you're one Hot Thing and this year's photo is gonna be good.....and then you look at your new license and say "who IS this mad old woman with bags under her eyes???"
When you finally make up your mind to leave your job to follow your dreams, and then you get the promotion that you've been promised for three years, with a good increase in pay. (yay?)
Now I'm confused.

text: Those pesky fire ants in your back yard may have met their match There's an arms race going on underground, maybe right under your feet. And our relatively new 'crazy ants' are whipping the familiar fire ants we've dealt with for so long. These two kinds of ants are fighting each other over food and nesting sites across the southeastern United States. And the crazy ants have come up with a defensive weapon. "What they do is spray formic acid, which neutralizes the venom of fire ants," says LSU entomologist, Dr. Gregg Henderson. They smear their own brand of venom on their bodies after being hit with venom by a fire ant foe, successfully detoxifying themselves. This chemical defense system represents a game-changer in the battle between these two ant species. Fire ants dominate most other types of ants by splattering them with powerful, typically fatal venom that is even more toxic than DDT. But when a crazy ant gets hit, it resorts to its detoxification procedure. It stands on its hind and middle legs, oozes formic acid from a gland at the tip of its abdomen, smears it on its body and neutralizes the fire ant venom. Dr. Gregg Henderson, says the crazy ant, because of this defense system and its huge population, may be able to out compete the fire ant. But that's not necessarily good news for homeowners. "Unfortunately, what it means is that we may have more of a problem with crazy ants than we thought," Henderson says. "Crazy ants don't sting, but their populations are so large that they cause a huge nuisance, nesting in houses and piling into the electrical circuitry." He says they can cause considerable harm to electrical equipment. And, they're not going to eliminate their stinging cousins. "Fire ants are a big issue. They're going to be with us forever in the southern states. But it does appear that this tawny crazy ant does have a methodology to help control them for their own purposes, not for ours," says Henderson. Well, not yet, at least. "Crazy enough, next week we're going to do a laboratory experiment to see if we can actually use formic acid as a way to keep fire ants out of houses." The tawny crazy ants, are known for their butterscotch color and the erratic way they walk when foraging for food.

Reporter: Would you make a brief statement about your meeting with the President?
USTR Zoellick: We just finished a long and very useful meeting with the President and many of his Ministers and I explained that the reason that I have come to Benin is that earlier this year, this summer, the Minister invited me to come see Benin and to talk about the cotton issue here and listen and be able to learn more about the problems of the cotton industry. And I promised the Minister that I would do that, and so I'm keeping the pledge and I look forward to having the chance to listen and learn from the Minister, but also from some members of the Parliament as well as some of the farmers.
And I also want to discuss how to deepen our dialogue on development issues including cotton, to work together in the World Trade Organization in dealing with issues of cotton and other agricultural issues and other issues in trade. And finally, to also work together on some of the special aid programs that we have in process with Benin, including one called the Millennium Challenge Account, which we are working on with your government to try to determine how best to support your efforts in the agricultural sector and to diversify agriculture and to increase your overall trade position.
Because while I am the trade minister from the United States, I also serve on the board of that Millennium Challenge Corporation. So it was a very useful initial meeting and I appreciate that the President took so much time, because I know it has been a very busy schedule, and I'll have a chance to follow up with the Minister of Commerce, the Minister of Agriculture and their colleagues tomorrow.
Reporter: Thank you.

Jessica Simpson Bikini PHOTOS
by Meg at . CommentsJessica Simpson, known for her body issues, braved it on Friday by putting on a black swimsuit to help her little sister Ashlee Simpson Wentz celebrate her 25th birthday at MGM Grand hot spot Wet Republic in Las Vegas.
We hesitate to call her undergarment a bikini because it looks more substantial than that with its high waist. The transparent coverup, a bit of a puzzler, was no doubt chosen to afford her further modest....at least that is our best guess.
For a walk down memory lane, we've included a bikini pic from back in the day...when Jessica was at the top of her game.
Sunday night Pete Wentz got his head shaved on stage at Madison Square Garden - photos and video here.
View more swimsuit photos below.

DHT Holdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2011 Results And Declares Quarterly Dividend Of $0.03 Per Share
DHT Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:DHT) ("DHT" or the "Company") today announced:
- Net income for the quarter after adjusting for a non-cash impairment charge of $56.0 million, was $3.3 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $3.6 million or $0.07 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2010. The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.03 per share for the quarter payable on November 16, 2011 for shareholders of record as of November 8, 2011.
- The Company had a net loss for the quarter of $52.8 million or $0.82 per diluted share. Due to the weak tanker markets and decline in values for second hand tankers, the company adjusted the carrying value of its fleet through a non-cash impairment charge of $56.0 million, or $0.87 per share.
- The Company made a voluntary prepayment of $24 million under its credit facility with RBS reflecting the decline in values for second hand tankers and to remain in compliance with its covenants.Svein Moxnes Harfjeld and Trygve Munthe stated: "Due to the decline in second hand values for tankers, we prepaid $24 million of debt and made an impairment charge of $56.0 million during the quarter. We enjoyed steady operations and good charter cover that resulted in an EBITDA of $13.6 million.
- On August 5, 2011, the Company announced that it had decided to withdraw its offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Saga Tankers as the conditions set out in the transaction agreement were not fulfilled.
- Revenue for the third quarter was $26.6 million. Ten vessels are on period charters until 2012 – 2018 and the DHT Phoenix and Venture Sprit are employed in the Tankers International pool.
- Vessel operating expenses for the quarter were $8.2 million compared to $6.8 million in the same quarter last year. The increase is a direct reflection of fleet expansion during the first half of 2011.
- G&A for the quarter was $2.3 million including non-cash cost related to restricted share agreements for management and board. G&A for the quarter includes $0.3 million related to the offer to acquire Saga Tankers.
- Net financial expenses of $1.9 million include net non-cash gain on interest rate swaps of $0.7 million as well as amortization of unrealized loss of interest swap of $0.4 million.
- Adjusted for the non-cash impairment charge and non-cash interest rate swap related items, net income for the quarter was $2.9 million, or $0.05 per share.
- Cash on hand at quarter-end was $45.4 million. The difference in cash from June 30, 2011 was mainly due to the voluntary prepayment of $24 million under the credit agreement with RBS.
DHT will host a conference call at 8:00 a.m. EDT on Tuesday October 25, 2011 to present the results for the quarter. See below for further details.

Lastly, I was free (and predisposed) to question authority, not to mention the basic business practices of large financial institutions. I know not every journalist can say that, and believe me, I've come to cherish the freedom. It's difficult enough for business reporters and editors to challenge conventional wisdom, all the more so if they don't have a business authority to quote or a financial report to cite. The people telling me that a mortgage crisis was upon us weren't the Bear Stearns or Fitch analysts I called; it was the community organizers, public interest attorneys and elected officials dealing with the consequences. These weren't conventional experts, and they hardly had all the answers; sometimes I was the one helping them understand the perverse workings of the mortgage market. But they had to become informed simply to serve their clients and constituents, and they did. Advocates have their biases—like all sources—but as a place to begin identifying the issues that matter, the stories that must be told, they are indispensable.
To be sure, some mainstream business journalists, notably, Peter Goodman and Gretchen Morgenson at The New York Times, among others, have embraced these reporting strategies and values, if only to keep up with the sheer pervasiveness of the mortgage crisis in almost every corner of American life. And that's all for the best. If there's one lesson to be learned from the financial crisis, it's that numbers too often lie; business journalists have a responsibility to readers and viewers to report behind the numbers, from the neighborhoods of the nation, on the real-world consequences of business practices, and not just from the perspective of Bloomberg terminals and earnings reports.
Yet, a year into the crisis, I am sorry to say that business journalism on the whole, has failed to learn from its fatal reliance to an overwhelming degree on bankers, ratings agencies, and all the other usual sources—sources that have many reasons to provide bad information or information that is at best—at best!—incomplete. Mainstream business journalism, I find, continues to speak parochially to investors and their interests, as though the public has only passing interest in the outcome of the discussion. As the past year has taught us, it does so at all of our peril.

In the 1970's, the late nights belonged to a wry and bemused host, Tom Snyder. His signature smoke-filled interviews were a staple of late-night television. Snyder has died after a struggle with leukemia. He was 71.
Snyder died Sunday in San Francisco from complications associated with leukemia, his longtime producer and friend Mike Horowicz told The Associated Press on Monday.As the host of NBC's "The Tomorrow Show" Snyder was famous for his improvised, casual style and hearty laughter, Snyder conducted a number of memorable interviews Among his guests were Charles Manson and Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols.
Peak moments with Snyder on Tomorrow included John Lennon's final televised interview, in April 1975 (replayed in December 1980 as a tribute to Lennon, and later released on home video), an interview with philosopher Ayn Rand in 1979, and U2's first American television appearance in June 1981.
"Weird Al" Yankovic's first television appearance was on the show in April 1981. Other notable moments included The Clash in 1981 and a 1980 appearance by rock band The Plasmatics during which lead singer Wendy O. Williams blew up a TV in the studio; the explosion disrupted a live broadcast of NBC Nightly News being produced in a studio two floors above.
Snyder's show on Halloween 1979 featured the rock band KISS. promoting their album Dynasty.
The interview became a chaotic exchange between Snyder and a visibly inebriated Ace Frehley, whose bizarre antics were ratcheted up during the 25 minute exchange.
Gene Simmons has revealed on his website that he felt "betrayed" by the other members during this interview. Shortly thereafter, the band broke up. Following the break up, Snyder was the very first to have a member of the band appear without make up in public. Peter Criss, the former drummer, appeared to announce his departure.
Snyder began his career during the sixties in radio, then moved into local television news. He anchored newscasts in Philadelphia and Los Angeles before moving to late night.
The AP quoted Marciarose Shestack, who co- anchored a noontime newscast with Snyder at KYW-TV in Philadelphia in the 1960s: "He was very surprising and very irreverent and not at all a typical newscaster."
Snyder left news to host "The Tomorrow Show," which followed "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson in 1972.
"Fire up a colortini, sit back, relax, and watch the pictures, now, as they fly through the air." Snyder smoked cigarettes throughout his show.
In 1995, he returned to late-night television as the host of "The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder" on CBS. The program followed David Letterman's "Late Show" until 1998, when Snyder was replaced by Craig Kilborn.
The AP writes that Snyder announced on his Web site in 2005 that he had chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
"When I was a kid leukemia was a death sentence," he wrote then, reports the AP. "Now, my doctors say it's treatable!"

Now I finally get that expression.
I was really disappointed to see that montage and it was obvious that he had a lot of speaking parts and small roles… I just wanted to see some creep lurking in a bunch of shots and never saying anything. I also say boo to this world's "greatest" extra.
The survival stuff I learned from Xbox.
The comic is really really good. I just had to watch the show with blinders on and tune out every part without zombie violence.
I'll be thanking Walking Dead for preparing me for all of the awkward sexual tension and rapey/backstabby stuff.
You gotta feel like these things come in threes. Zune, Nate Dogg… Charlie Sheen doesn't have much time.
He's regulating with the angels now.
Did Joe Mande kill the Zune by wishing for the postponement of Charlie Sheen's death? Is this some sort of weird videogum running joke final destination?
No, but remember the Justin Timberlake episode when they did the punk'd sketch and they punk'd 50 cent by putting a vampire in his bathroom? "Yo! I'm not going in there… There's a vampire in the bathtub!"
I feel like it would really benefit from a well placed Z. Vampire Boyz… or maybe Vampyre Boyz.
Why are all the recommended videos on worldstarhiphop kid fights and girl fights?
Totally off topic. Yet… couldn't resist.
I'm just happy for the guy that he even exists anymore. Like… Gilbert Gottfried is still a thing… So… Good for him.
Yes! Trampoline accidents! Joe gets it!
Boys becoming men! Men becoming wolves!
That pretty much wins the internet.
"You're here.. Err.. You're here… Bra fitting 101." – Your boyrfriend
videogum helps the ladies
Ugh. That's when he started talking about deep plunges.
Right? I'm concerned there are more parts.
Lots of previous jail time.
This guy knows what I'm talking about.
Not trying to troll, you guys. I think it's great that we monsters get a chance to take over the site. I sit silently and wish that I too might be grown up enough some day. But there's a difference between videogum's trademark snarkiness and this bleak world of half-hearted chuckles we've inherited. I'm torn between just wanting to be a supportive monster and seriously wanting to remind the rest of this week's guest bloggers that we come here, first and foremost, for the LAFFS.
Honestly, I think I made it to number 4. Downergum.com today.

The spill out is starting, over on Labourlist, some socialist website a certain John Mann MP has just panned an article about how the Labour Party (to our continental friends these are the socialist that care more about the million pound house they live in and the quality of the free champagne they can blag than the working class).
He states that to combat UKIP the Labour party should introduce.
Visa for all Europeans that want to come to the UK to work.
No access to social housing or housing benefit
No access to any other welfare unless 2 years taxes (NI).
Well looks like the Fruitcake, Nutcase and Racist party were onto something with they campaigns.
Interesting times ahead.
