Update on Charley
Katrin & Animalkind Friends --
Enclosed please find a check to help out the kitties - So Sorry to hear
about the recent fire. I'll give as much as I can when I can again soon.
Charley (our Animalkind adoptee - approx Jan 2010) went crazy when I watched your YouTube video. He heard the cats crying and was very concerned -- trying to get to the crying cats through the speakers!
Charlie doing yoga on my lap while I paint. (He put himself in this

My peaches should be getting ripe enough to pick in the next two or three weeks. After a summer of drought conditions and record breaking temperatures, this last week it's dropped into the 50s and we've had tons of rain, at least 2-3 inches in my area in the last 10 days.
I just came in from checking my peaches. They're still green and nowhere near full size, but quite a few of them are oozing a clear gel, especially if they've been punctured or injured in some way. This is the first time I've seen this. Is this a disease? Or has the tree sucked up so much of the recent rain that the peaches are waterlogged, and they're kind of exploding? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lilacs: Your peaches have been visited by the oriental fruit moth. The damage probably occurred some time ago, but is now becoming easily visible due to the oozing of pectin. The peaches may continue to ripen (although some may fall), but when you take them down the affected peaches will be seriously deteriorated around the pit area, and some larvae may be present. I don't know how long you have been growing peaches, or the severity of OFM pressures in your particular part of Colorado. In my area of Northern Virginia OFM is a constant presence from early spring right through midsummer. I either have to spray in a timely manner, beginning right at the fruit thinning stage, or bag the peaches in shoe store "footies", or both. I would expect OFM pressure to be less in the dryer, higher climate of Colorado, but in a given year it could be pretty bad. Weather has not caused your peach problems, nor is it a disease. It's a very nasty moth. Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA |

Could this be the reason why, earlier this year, quite a few (even most) of the newly developed peaches shriveled on the vine when they were barely dime sized? Granted, I've only owned this place for a couple years, but I've never seen that before. We had drought and high temperatures this year, following a dry winter. That's very disheartening. I was looking forward to peach pie. Is there an organic treatment I can use next year? I don't want to put any honeybees at risk. A couple months ago I had a beeswarm in my peach tree. Thanks. |
Lilacs: Bagging the peaches in shoe store footies is "organic", if you can get them past the fruit moth to the quarter-size thinning and bagging stage. I cannot, and have to spray with permethrin or the OFM can ruin many of the larger peaches I want to keep. I also keep honeybees, who seem none the worse for wear from my occasional applications of insecticides. If you mean actually killing the OFM, I know of no organically acceptable treatment that will do the job. If you are not spraying with anything after petal fall, that does explain why you have an infestation of OFM on your peaches. You should always remove and discard any peaches that shrivel up or fall from the tree and discard them to prevent the OFM hatch cycle from continuing. Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA |
- Posted by lilacs_of_may 5/6 CO (My Page) on Mon, Aug 18, 08 at 23:27
Hmm. Discard them or compost them? I've been tossing them into the compost bin, and now I'm having second thoughts about that. This does explain why a lot of the oozing seems to come from an injury to the fruit. I thought perhaps it was just a twig sticking them when the wind blows them around, but in hindsight I bet that's the insect entry point. I didn't bother thinning this year. The squirrels and the shriveled up peaches thinned them plenty enough. As for bagging them, a lot of the peaches are way out of my reach, even with a ladder, either too high or on the other side of the fence, so I couldn't bag them. Where do you buy the footies? Every year I grow edibles, I learn something, usually by trial and error. |
Lilacs: Most of us who use footies on peaches buy them at Store Supply Warehouse. Google them. You want the ladies size, not the men's. I can think of a couple of options that might allow you to grow edible peaches next season. The first would be to prune the tree down to a height you can reach from your ladder, then select the best undamaged young fruitlets and thin off all the others until they are a minimum of 7-8 inches apart on the twigs and branches. Then bag the selected peaches immediately before the insects reach them. You could also leave the tree as is, and select and bag as many as you can reach, essentially writing off all those peaches you cannot. I would favor option #1, but that does involve some pruning, perhaps heavy pruning. I am a believer in keeping peach trees under control unless you want to grow them as landscape specimens. Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA |
- Posted by lilacs_of_may 5/6 CO (My Page) on Wed, Aug 20, 08 at 15:44
I inherited this peach tree when I bought the house, and it was the size it was. Any heavy pruning would probably have to be done by a professional, and someday I'll get to that. Quite a few of my trees need to be pruned. I guess next year what I'll do is bag the ones I can get to and let the rest go. I have a long fruit grabber, so I can get some of the peaches that are high up. I just wouldn't be able to bag them. If the bugs get them, I'll have to write them off. But I may well be able to get a lot that the bugs haven't gotten to. We'll see. Thanks for your comments. |

Randy Carlyle would get up at first light, shower and get dressed.
Then he would get into his car and take the first road to nowhere.
There is no count on how many times Carlyle drove around Anaheim from November 30, 2011, the day he was fired as coach of the Ducks, to when he was hired by the Maple Leafs on March 2, a year Saturday,
The desolation of those drives has not left the 56-year-old Carlyle.
"I had my period of time I was driving around at 6:30 in the morning not having any self worth and wondering what I was going to do the rest of the day," he said.
Finally, Carlyle approached his old bosses. He asked to scout the Eastern Conference for the Ducks.
"I learned I had to work," Carlyle said. "I could have sat at home and done nothing and got paid but that's not how I view myself. I need to be doing stuff. I need that to have value in my life and I had none."
When you take in Carlyle's hockey career you understand the devastation that being fired would bring. He had never failed.
Drafted 30th overall by the Leafs in 1976, Carlyle racked up 1055 NHL games. He played 94 games with the Leafs, then starred in Pittsburgh and then Winnipeg. He won a Norris Trophy as the league's best defenceman in 1981.
Carlyle spent six seasons behind the bench of the Manitoba Moose, two years as an assistant with the Washington Capitals and then went back to the Moose.
He was an instant success when he returned to the NHL. His teams made the conference final in his first campaign and won the Stanley Cup in the next.
Three and a half seasons later, he was driving aimlessly around Anaheim.
Scouting is not the kind of move most ex-coaches willingly embrace. Scouts spend their days in transit and are marooned from the daily urgency and purpose that envelopes a hockey team. Everywhere you go, in every press box and dining room, people see someone who used to be someone far more important.
Carlyle's assistant coach, Dave Farrish, has known him for 40 years. The two first met when both were Sudbury Wolves' defencemen. Idleness, he said, was a particular enemy for Carlyle.
"Randy's a Type A personality," Farrish said. "He's not a golfer, not somebody else who can just do other things (unrelated to work). He needed to be busy and he needed to be on the road."
Carlyle's a hockey guy, a Northern Ontario guy, a Sudbury guy, a guy who played under a dozen different coaches as a pro. Nearly all of them were journeymen, itinerant coaches, Johnny Wilson, Lou Angotti, Dan Maloney, John Paddock.
A life without hockey in its middle was by nature empty because to Carlyle, hockey had and has elements of the sacred.
The game is built on inviolate principles. It is a hard, elemental game that is to be played hard. It is an aggressive game whose violence serves as a form of self-governance. It is an exclusive experience shared by a select few who are among the most fortunate human beings to walk this earth.
If you understand all that, then you have gone a long way in understanding Randy Carlyle. For one thing you understand why he is unconcerned about all the elements outside the dressing room: the media attention, the adoration of fans, the demands of friends.
"Randy likes that term… white noise," said forward Nazem Kadri. "That's everything that is outside this dressing room. We like to keep it tight like a family. I don't think you'll be getting much from this dressing room."
"When you get here, the other stuff, the white noise, doesn't exist," Farrish says as he stands in the Leafs room. "It's just us, our family basically."
What the signs in the dressing rooms mean: 'Burn the boats…Close the gap…Make today count' isn't mysterious. The Romans were known for nautical invasions in which the ships that carried the soldiers were torched. Kind of a motivational thing. The slogans about closing the gap and making today count could grace the wall of a high school guidance office.
Just don't expect any Leaf to explain them to you. As Brian Burke enjoyed saying, "it's none of your business."
"Because I believe there are certain things that are sacred," Carlyle said. "What happens inside the dressing room doesn't need to be on public display, day in and day out."
Exclusivity, the idea that playing professional hockey is a privilege to be cherished by the lucky few, is at the centre of Carlyle's value system.
"That's how you create unity within your group," he said. "That all for one, one for all mentality, that's what successful teams and successful organizations have been able to do. The crest on the front is more important than the name on the back."
For years New Zealand's famous rugby side, the All Blacks, kept a proprietary rein on its uniform. The only way you could gain an All Blacks jersey was to play for the team. Similarly, the exclusivity, the privilege of being a hockey player, is central to being a Maple Leaf under Randy Carlyle. There isn't much play there.
"He's firm," said Hall of Fame coach Scotty Bowman. "He makes the players produce and he makes them responsible."
"With his resume, he's often looked at as a stern coach but when you succeed he rewards you," said defenceman Mark Fraser, a player from whom Carlyle has extracted 16 minutes of solid play a night. "There's a combination of the superior who is intimidating but the player's coach as well."
The rest of it, the relentless line matching, the unyielding demand for fitness, the gruff benchside countenance, those things are the staple of most coaches.
So too are the tension-breakers, the games of three on three after a tough loss, the theatrical punishment of a solo lap for the last player in the huddle at practice.
"Just fun things, things you steal from other coaches," said Randy Carlyle. And then he grins. "Besides, there's nothing better than making a rookie skate."

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
10 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years. | 10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years. |
11 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin : but he walked therein. | 11 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD and did not turn away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit; he continued in them. |
12 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did , and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? | 12 As for the other events of the reign of Jehoash, all he did and his achievements, including his war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? |
13 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. | 13 Jehoash rested with his fathers, and Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. |
14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died . And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said , O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. | 14 Now Elisha was suffering from the illness from which he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. "My father! My father!" he cried. "The chariots and horsemen of Israel!" |
15 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. | 15 Elisha said, "Get a bow and some arrows," and he did so. |
16 And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands. | 16 "Take the bow in your hands," he said to the king of Israel. When he had taken it, Elisha put his hands on the king's hands. |
17 And he said , Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said , Shoot . And he shot . And he said , The arrow of the LORD'S deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them. | 17 "Open the east window," he said, and he opened it. "Shoot!" Elisha said, and he shot. "The LORD's arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!" Elisha declared. "You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek." |
18 And he said , Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice , and stayed . | 18 Then he said, "Take the arrows," and the king took them. Elisha told him, "Strike the ground." He struck it three times and stopped. |
19 And the man of God was wroth with him, and said , Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice . | 19 The man of God was angry with him and said, "You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times." |
20 And Elisha died , and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. | 20 Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. |
21 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down , and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived , and stood up on his feet. | 21 Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man's body into Elisha's tomb. When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet. |
22 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. | 22 Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz. |
23 And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet. | 23 But the LORD was gracious to them and had compassion and showed concern for them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. To this day he has been unwilling to destroy them or banish them from his presence. |
24 So Hazael king of Syria died ; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. | 24 Hazael king of Aram died, and Ben-Hadad his son succeeded him as king. |
25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel. | 25 Then Jehoash son of Jehoahaz recaptured from Ben-Hadad son of Hazael the towns he had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Three times Jehoash defeated him, and so he recovered the Israelite towns. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Leila!
Facts about Leila
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Leila's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Leila is a lovable Hurricane Sandy survivor! She wound up on someone's front porch suffering from a huge mass on her side. Lucky for her she was rescued and the mass was a hernia that was successfully repaired. She made a full recovery and is now looking for a loving home. Leila is as sweet as they come, a real lap kitty and a beauty. Long and graceful with stunning eyes, she is very affectionate and especially love head rubs. She nudges her head under your hand as if to say "give me some lovin". In no time she is in your lap with a soft little purr. She knows how to draw you in and loves vigorous back rubs too. She's very polite when taking treats from your hand and will ask for another with a little meow. She's a very relaxed lady who wouldn't mind another kitty companion, but would be fine with just a loving caregiver. She wants nothing more than someone to love.
Other Pets at Infinite Hope
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Leila, a Brooklyn Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Brooklyn.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brooklyn breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.

by Darren Guccione, CEO & Co-Founder
Last week, I had the pleasure of sitting as a guest on The Mad Rocket radio show, a fun and innovative talk show about entrepreneurship, innovation and marketing. The show airs weekly on AM 560 The Answer and is hosted by Mark Imperial and Ian Miller, two fantastic business professionals with deep expertise in marketing and branding. The topic of the show was Focus and it's critical importance in business. You can listen to the show here.
In my experience, Focus has been the most essential behavioral component of business process, strategy and execution. Focus is the nucleus of successful execution in business. Focus is about having discipline. It's about being able to say "No."
"No, we are not going to work on that today. We need to stay focused on this so we can deliver the QA'd binary to the app store by Friday."
Business can get very "noisy." It's really easy to get distracted by incoming, errant and unplanned emails, events, phone calls, text messages, etc. When my team and I are at work, we focus on being focused. It's how we optimize time and ensure that the entire company is moving in a unified direction. I spend part of everyday making sure our teams are staying focused on our designated initiatives, across the entire company – including me. It's not uncommon for me to hold all calls, emails and turn off Skype – disappear for several hours to immerse myself in a critical project.
If you find yourself leaving the office and saying something like, "It feels like I got nothing done today," this could very well mean that you weren't focused enough. I've had those days – all of us have. Focus is a constant effort to achieve an isolated frame of mind. Incoming events like emergencies will dilute your focus. They can't be avoided. Focus on your core projects will therefore ebb and flow. The key is to maintain a disciplined mindset so that you exercise focus every day.
I'll end this post with a quote from one of my favorite people of all time – Bruce Lee, the martial arts master. Bruce Lee said, "The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus."

The Social Network
How desperate would you have to be to steal something that didn't belong to you? I'm not talking about something physical; I mean an idea. If you needed a terrific presentation to give at a staff meeting and overheard a discussion in your office of someone else's plan, would you take it, change a few things and present it as your own? Since it's merely an idea and you bring your own spin to it, flesh it out and make it unique, how wrong can it be? If that idea is Facebook, as it is in this week's movie "The Social Network," it will take a couple of rooms full of lawyers to decide just how many millions of dollars wrong it is.
Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) is having a bad night. While fretting over getting into the exclusive clubs of Harvard to his girlfriend Erica (Rooney Mara), he directly and indirectly insults her about a dozen times, leading to her ending their relationship. Angry and a little drunk, Mark heads back to his dorm to blog some revenge. While there, he comes up with an idea to post pictures of Harvard's female undergrads on line in a "Who's Hotter" contest called Face Mash. Mark hacks into the various campus computer networks to get the photos and, with the help of an algorithm from roommate and best friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), the link for Face Mash is soon emailed to several people on campus. The link gets passed around and, in a few hours, the Harvard computer network crashes from the overload of traffic. This attracts the attention of twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (both played by Armie Hammer) and Divya Narendra (Max Minghella) who have an idea for a kind of dating site exclusive to Harvard students and graduates called ConnectU which requires the user to have a Harvard email address. They explain their idea to Mark who agrees to build their site but then approaches Eduardo with an idea he calls The Facebook that is very similar in design to ConnectU, but isn't about dating; it's about sharing information with only those people you choose to be your on line friends. Eduardo puts up $1000 to purchase server access and Mark makes him CFO with a 30% stake in the company. As The Facebook launches and expands to other college campuses, it attracts the attention of Napster co-founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake), who wants to be involved in what he sees as the next big thing. Sean's reputation as a womanizer and drug user puts off Eduardo, but Mark is hooked on Sean's star power and lofty pronouncements about the future of The Facebook (which he suggests should be shortened to just Facebook). The company grows and soon major investors come on board, leading to a corporate reshuffling that sees Eduardo's stake in Facebook shrink to less than one percent. Eduardo, Divya and the Winklevoss twins sue Mark for what they see as their share of Facebook.
Put your thinking caps on and pay close attention, because "The Social Network" is a film that assumes you are intelligent and can understand dialog that's delivered at machine-gun speed. It is also a film that has only one truly sympathetic character and it's not Mark Zuckerberg. Eduardo Saverin is this films' true emotional center as Zuckerberg is about as warm as a flag pole in an Alaskan winter. Jesse Eisenberg inhabits the lead character with a kind of laser beam focus that is usually seen in people with some sort of mental disability like Asperger's Syndrome. Mark is tone deaf to what he says and its effect on those around him; but, that same tone deafness also hides the biting sarcasm that is aimed at anyone he considers to be in his way. Eisenberg is a revelation in the movie. He is best known for playing awkward, stammering teens in films like "Adventurland" and "Zombieland." Here, he's as far from those characters as Pluto is from the sun. Andrew Garfield will break your heart as Eduardo. As he sees Mark slipping into the clutches of Sean Parker and when the financial trap is sprung on him late in the film, you can feel his hurt and anger in Garfield's performance. Justin Timberlake may be better known as a boy band singer, but his acting chops are pretty strong too. Timberlake plays Parker like a serial killer/used car salesman: He's slick, sophisticated, intelligent and a heartless coward. This just might get all three actors considerable notice at Oscar time.
While based on real people and events, much of "The Social Network" is dramatized or entirely invented to make a more interesting dramatic film. That's not an indictment against writer Aaron Sorkin or director David Fincher as the filmmakers have produced a fascinating portrait of a tragically unlikable person who wants nothing more than to be liked. The film is also a look at our increasing isolation from each other via social networking sites. The film states Facebook as over 500-million users. One wonders how many of these people, some with thousands of "friends," actually interact in person or just get the latest news and gossip on their friends' wall.
If you aren't on Facebook, you may find most of this trivial. In fact, it is; but it is trivial on a global scale. The lawsuits generated by Facebook have been enormous and the two most infamous suits are the medium through which this story is told as the movie cuts between depositions for the two cases and flashbacks to the events. It is an interesting method for telling a story that is this complex and has so many points of view. It also is probably the only way to tell the story and keep up with all the players. While the plot is complex, the core of it is not: We all want to be liked. Various brief scenes in the film show Zuckerberg's aching need to be liked and accepted. These scenes are pivotal to a movie that could have been bogged down by the accusations of intellectual property theft and the financial machinations to control a growing virtual empire. It gives a very unlikable character a handhold the audience can grasp to keep from slipping into a well of hate. At times, you almost feel sorry for the world's youngest billionaire.
"The Social Network" is rated PG-13 for sexual content, drug and alcohol use and language. The sexual content is very brief and contains no nudity. There are two bathroom stall encounters going on simultaneously and some girl-girl kissing at a party. There's scattered drug use including hits off of a bong and cocaine snorted off of a woman's belly. Foul language is sparse and widely scattered.
The real Mark Zuckerberg calls "The Social Network" fiction, and it probably is for the most part. That doesn't take away from its powerful depictions of interesting, if not completely likable, characters and the worldwide phenomenon they created and fought over. The fact it is based on real people and events just gives the movie an anchor that keeps it grounded in reality. After all, if this were a completely made up story about fictional characters, who would believe it?

Here is an idea I like. A company buys up remnant stone from the local fabrication shops, then re-uses them as tile, landscaping stone, or stone veneer. They use both granite and marble, with applications for interior and exterior. I just came across this and I think it's a nifty idea. I love landscaping with stone, and this gives me an interesting alternative source for materials. It also eases the environmental impact of using stone, since there is at least a slim opportunity for reuse. |

I love this idea! I'm hoping there are ways to recycle countertops when people inevitably renovate their kitchens and baths. |

Bahia Honda State Park was part of Henry Flagler's East Coast Railway holdings. The railroad remains were converted into what is known today as U.S. Highway 1. Presently, the Old Bahia Honda Bridge serves as a reminder of Flagler's dream. A section of the old bridge offers visitors a panoramic view of the island and surrounding waters. Since the initial acquisition of the first 13 acres of the park in 1961, Bahia Honda has become well-known as a recreational treasure.
When traveling through the Florida Keys, visitors see remnants of an extraordinary feat of engineering - Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad. Life in the Florida Keys was changed forever by this construction project that began in 1905. Thousands of men worked on the railroad that was built above the water and islands from Miami to Key West.
The completion of U.S. 1 - the Overseas Highway - opened up Bahia Honda Key to vacationers. In the 1950s, Bahia Honda was a county park with no electricity, using generators for power. There was, however, a gas station and concession. The lack of creature comforts did not keep people from coming to Bahia Honda. Picnicking and swimming were popular pastimes on the Key, just as they are today.
Bahia Honda recorded the first hawksbill sea turtle nest in 2000. Since then, hawksbills have returned every couple of years while hawksbill nests are very rare in Florida, loggerhead turtles are the most common nesters on Bahia Honda's beaches.
Camping at Bahia Honda has always been a popular activity. In the 1950s and 60s, only one campground existed, and it was located on Loggerhead Beach on the Atlantic side of the island. Today's visitors to Bahia Honda now have three campgrounds to choose from: Buttonwood, Sandspur and Bayside.
In 1985, Bahia Honda celebrated the Florida Park Service's 50th anniversary. As part of the celebration, Ranger Markey was granted permission to bring in her palomino quarter horse mare, Frosty, to patrol the park. Visitors in the Florida Keys rarely see horses, so they were very excited to see Frosty.

You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets…
Sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road…
–From Springsteen and Thunder Road
Click here to see more than 100 logos from Occupy Wall Street protests from around the globe including Occupy OKC and Occupy Tulsa. Click here to see more than 60 examples of digital poster art from Occupy Wall Street.
There is an interesting protest movement underway across the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan and Europe that has for the most escaped national media coverage. It's called Occupy Wall Street and it was inspired by the Arab Spring. Populated primarily by jobless or underemployed members of Generation Y (1983-2000), it has spread to cities across the globe.
Initiated by the Canadian anti-consumerist magazine, Adbusters, it began September 17, with an occupation of Wall Street by about 1,000 people. There are now mirror movements in virtually every major city in the aforementioned nations. Occupy Oklahoma City and Occupy Tulsa movements have Facebook pages with more than 1,000 fans collectively. Their purpose is to "stand in solidarity with those occupying Wall Street."
There are no disclosures on either page (that I could find) revealing Oklahoma's de facto leaders or at a minimum the page administrators. The federal government requires full disclosure of page administrators for government organizations.
It's easy to sympathize with Generation Y's disillusionment. It's been hardest hit by the Great Recession. Nearly 50 percent of Americans between 16 and 29 are unemployed. Still, some of the groups associated with the New York protests are anti-capitalist and leftist in nature, which contributes to the movement's freak factor. This reality does not help legitimize a protest ignited by the very real Wall Street corruption and greed that helped devastate our economy.

Generational Inventory
Let's take a quick generational inventory. Four generations are still reeling in the wake of the financial instability and global economic meltdown that began in September 2008. Generation Y (1983-1996/2000) simply can't find jobs. They're graduating from college with massive student loan debt and a scant spattering of decent career opportunities.
Wages for Generation X (1961-1981) have stagnated. Calculating for recession, we are the first generation to make less than our fathers made. Promotions are unheard of and everything costs twice as much as it used to cost.
Baby Boomers (1943-1960) have had their 401Ks gutted on the eve of their planned retirements. Those members of the Silent Generation (1925-1942), dependent entirely on Social Security, worry from one month to the next if their checks are going to hit on the third of every month.
And who can say what the future holds for Generation Z (1997-present), my children's generation?
Occupy Wall Street conducts regular general assemblies and Occupy Tulsa has one planned for October 1, Newblock Park, Tulsa. It looks like Occupy Oklahoma City will host one the following week.
There is an Occupy Wall Street listing on Wikipedia that provides key information about the movement. The New York Times has covered the protest calling its aim "faulty," however, Keith Olbermann and Michael Moore have discussed its validity.
It's going to be interesting to see how all this evolves over time. Will it become a flash-in-the-pan protest or a consuming fire on par with the Arab Spring? So far, no Oklahoma media outlets have reported on the movement.
Disclosure: I am not involved in organizing Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Oklahoma City or Occupy Tulsa. The United States Constitution states the right of the people peaceably to assemble.

Does anyone on this forum have any experience growing Fernleaf Bleedingheart (Dicentra eximia) from seed ? I recently collected several seedpods. Should I sow the seed immediately, or should I hold it over the winter, and sow it in the Spring ? I'm afraid that if I hold it too long it may go bad. But if I sow it now (August), and it germinates, I'm afraid that the seedlings will be too young and delicate to survive over the Winter. If anyone can provide any advice, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. |

I've been to the warehouse in Indiana and I think 3Rivers is capable of making more in-depth videos on arrow making and bow building. I think this would help us customers and make more money for the company. So many times I've been reluctant to purchase something because I don't know enough about it. Overall I think 3Rivers still provides quality supplies at a competitive price. They are a very consistent vendor, and I shall remain a very consistent customer.

Arrows are really easy to access. I wish that the cover was permanently fastened on one side so I didn't have to worry about losing it. I need another strap to keep it from sliding off of the strap shoulder. I live in evergreen country and could use a different camo pattern. I thought the zippered pocket inside the main zippered compartment was weird until I needed a place to put my glasses. And oh ya, I would have the zipper zip from the bottom up rather than the top down. The way it is now gravity naturally wants to open the zipper. It is also more likely to get snagged and opened by a branch while I move forward through the woods. Sure wish it had another pocket the same size. Good quality construction.

I purchased a samick sage recurve along with a very well made leather arm guard and shooting glove. Every piece that arrived was in terrific shape and top notch quality. the best part is, all of these things came in very quickly. It might have taken 3 days to come in. I have shot my bow over 400 times already and it is working flawlessly. I am very pleased with the service.

Oh...lol...I posted this under rumors because one of our theories was that it actually read your fingerprints which I'm pretty sure in not possible or true...lol
Hello all...I am a newly registered member and just returned from my 9 day Disney trip on 5/29/05. I had a quick question. When you insert the ticket and put your two fingers between that little post what exactly does it do to verify you are the person who is using the tickets? The group of friends I was with had several different theories but could never figure out what that machine actually did. Thanks for your future answers....:mickey: :mickey: :mickey:
Oh...lol...I posted this under rumors because one of our theories was that it actually read your fingerprints which I'm pretty sure in not possible or true...lol
I believe it measures your finger legnth, but I'm not quite sure - it might very well be a thumbprint scanner!
Por favor mantanganse alijado de las puertas.
Not your fingerprints at all. The "biometric" readers use finger geometry. It's basically a camera. It takes several pictures of your fingers, determines an average of your finger length/width/size/shape and knuckle position, and computes it into a numerical value. It compares this with the number stored for your pass, and if it's close enough, it'll let you in.
If not, it'll spit out the ticket and beep.
The purpose is to make sure the same person uses the pass each time, both to prevent "pass-backs" and ticket selling/trading.
There's a good article on WDW biometrics at allearsnet
from what I've heard it makes a difference if your nails are a diff length from one time to the next(guess your fingers dont fit in the same) or if you wear a ring or not
Also from what I've read if it does spit out your ticket they can check info different ways to get you in
It's a Disney thing. If you understood, your only question would be "can I go?"

Sam I Am is correct about the biometrics. Don't know about the fingernails and/or ring.Originally Posted by vixen101485
One thing that is very imporant for all Guests is to have a photo ID with you at all times in case you lose your ticket and/or the ticket does not work for some reason. You can then very easily get a new ticket and or verify who you really are. The CMs are very lenient if you have a photo ID and something goes wrong.

Fingernails do not affect it unless they are so long that your hadn does not get all the way inside the device.
The system is pretty forgiving even with a ring/no ring, fingernail changes, and body fat changes. However, massive changes, or a combination of them, can cause problems.
If you find that the biometrics "never work" for you - let the CM know - with your ID, they can reset the template on the system and then you'll be better off in the future.
Most important thing - be consistant when you use the biometrics, and keep your fingers still - as much as possible.
Boy I was sweating there for a minute.. I know the county sherrif's office already has my finger prints.. um.. nevermind
as of my trip to disney(6/5/05 to 6/9/05), one CM told me this system makes handstamps obsolete, that they use your fingerprints as a digital "handstamp". the machine sometimes works without your fingers, so if you do not use your fingers, you must still get a handstamp. he might've been wrong though.
by handstamps i mean a stamp you get when you leave the park to go somewhere but plan to return later in the day.
Yes, if you use biometrics, you don't need a handstamp. The point of the handstamp is to show the same person is using the pass all day. The biometrics does that for you. It's been the case since the beginning of biometrics with Annual/Seasonal passholders.
Though they'll still give you a handstamp if you ask.
The handstamp is great for when the computers go down as well. It will save you a headache or two.
True - a very good point.
the "2 finger thing" is for seasonal and annual passholder

Maria Hummer's short story, 'He Took His Skin Off For Me,' has been hailed as a modern-day, adult fairy tale. The plot centers around a couple in love. The man, however, has taken off his skin, as that's what he believes his girlfriend wants. A lot of unseen problems arise because of this. The boyfriend leaves bloody stains everywhere he goes, gets cold easily, and loses clients at work. Eventually, the couple realizes that sacrificing something so important to please the one you love can be intensely overrated.
Director Ben Aston and an incredible team of producers, SFX specialists and filmmakers are turning this short story into a spectacular film. Their Kickstarter project has already raised most of the funds, allowing them to experiment with special effects so as to create a truly realistic skinless man. When this short film is released, it is sure to garner a ton of attention from both cinema academics and the mainstream public.

Thousands to rally for killed teen, Trayvon Martin, in Florida
SANFORD, FL - Thousands of protesters are expected to rally Thursday evening in Florida for a black teen fatally shot by a neighborhood watch captain.
The rally for 17-year-old Trayvon Martin will be at Fort Mellon Park in downtown Sanford.
The event was originally planned for a 400-seat church, but officials decided to move the rally to make sure there would be room for everyone.
Civil rights leader Al Sharpton and Martin's parents will be attending. Before the rally, they'll be meeting with U.S. Justice Department officials.
The neighborhood watch captain, 28-year-old George Zimmerman, has claimed self-defense and has not been arrested. The case is being reviewed by the State Attorney's Office.
Zimmerman once took criminal justice classes at the community college and was practically a one-man neighborhood watch in his gated part of town, calling police close to 50 times over the past eight years to report such things as slow-driving vehicles, strangers loitering in the neighborhood and open garages.
Now, suddenly, people are wondering if Zimmerman is an earnest if somewhat zealous young man who was just looking out for his neighborhood, or a wannabe officer who tried to take justice into his own hands.
He has been at the center of a growing furor over vigilantism, self-defense and racial profiling since he shot and killed Martin, an unarmed black teenager, who was walking through his neighborhood Feb. 26 carrying only a bag of Skittles and an iced tea.
Many black leaders are demanding Zimmerman's arrest.
Florida's Stand Your Ground law on self-defense gives people wide latitude to use deadly force.

I am new at growing gesneriads and especially Alsobias. My problem right now is with a 'Cygnet' I bought earlier this year. It was doing great and doubled in size and bloomed for me, but I let it get overly cold for several days in a row and it lost most of it's lower leaves. I was wondering if like with an african violet if I could repot it and just bury the stem or will I have to live with the long bare stem now? Thank you for an advice you may have. |

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I'll try that on one of the plants to see how it goes. I read that Alsobia goes dormant in the winter, is it too late in the year to try this now? Thanks again. |
Frazzled- why do you think it will go dormant? It shouldn't. If it is warm, has enough light and well fed - it will keep growing and blooming non stop. And since it is a tropical ground cover - it will root if it touches the soil - and continue spreading. Please check if it is what you have. Good luck Irina |

Oh, I'm silly I just assumed since it was a window plant that it would go dormant soon. But it does have new blooms forming on it, so maybe nothing will change with winter. Thank you for the link. That is the plant I have. The flowers are amazing! |
