Has anyone else noticed how little information is available on Carex? I hope Darke's new book addresses this issue.
Anyway, I started 4 clumps of C. comans 'Bronze' from seed last year. 3 were planted in the ground, and one was wintered over in a 1-gallon pot, buried in the top of the compost bin: You can just see in the photo, the line of demarcation between the reddish-bronze color of the blades on the lower 2/3's, compared to the dry looking tan of the ends. It shows up a little better in this photo: Darke speaks only to Carex in general. He says evergreen or semi-evergreen species are "best cut back on occasional years, to remove old or winter-dessicated foliage." Greenlee says, of C. comans specifically; "When cutting back, leave 3-4" above the crown, as plants dislike a close shearing." Leaving 3-4" above the crown will eliminate the tan dry-looking ends of the foliage, but my question is whether or not those trimmed blades will continue to grow, with their squared-off ends, or will they be overtaken by new foliage? I'm starting several more plants this year, so I can afford to experiment. I'm thinking about cutting back the one potted plant, and leaving the 3 in-ground plants alone this year. Any experience trimming Carex comans, in any color? |

Well... I will have some experience after this year. I wasn't sure what to do with my 'Frosted Curls' and noticed the same thing you did: The top 2/3 of the plant were pretty dry/crispy, while the lower part seemed okay. One I cut back very hard (probably too hard, after reading your post), one I cut back about halfway, and one I left alone. So I'll let you know in a month or so how well they rebound... or not. :( |
I'll jump in with questions too. My clumps are 3 years old and overwhelming the bed they share with daffodils and coriopsis. I'd read somewhere to leave carex foliage alone, but they are totally shaggy. I love the way they look with snow on in the winter, but now I would like a fresher look. Will they get new blades, or will the old keep coming? should the clumps be divided? thanx |

Ok, I can only speak from experience in my zone. I grow 4 different bronze Carex spp. All but one benefits from cutting back. I usually trim mine back to about 4 inches for the best results. I think the trick is to NOT trim them back to early in the season. As you can see in Donn's photo - there is a dried off portion & a nice fresh looking portion. Cut it back & expose the nice fresh part too early, have a late really cold period and .... opps! Oh yeah, the one that doesn't benefit from cutting back?? Carex buchananii. A little tidying up is about all it seems to tolerate. |
I'm going to wait until May to prune the potted C. comans. That'll be (hopefully) safe from any cold snaps. I've read a lot of the NZ Carex varieties are short-lived, so I plan to build my inventory, and see if early division can provide a continuous supply. I love the look, especially of the red/bronze varieties. I plan to try more of the from-seed varieties as well. C. comans was pretty easy to start from seed, and I expect some of my plants will set some seed this year, so I can stop buying it. |

Achnatherum, I'm glad you mentioned that about carex buchanii. I have so far resisted pruning mine and will continue to do so. That one did much better for me than the c. comans did anyway... it is said to tolerate drier soils better, and I am finding that to be pretty true. |
- Posted by achnatherum z5 Ontario (My Page) on Sun, Apr 15, 07 at 11:56
Donn, I have been thinking about your Carex comans. I don't think I would wait until May in your zone. A few frosty days with temps 1 or 2 degrees below zero won't hurt it - You really want to have it cut back just before / or just as its starts to make some vigorous growth. I will probably cut mine back around the beginning of May. A. |
Well, it'll have to wait a couple of days. It's blowing and raining like stink out there right now. We've got a whopper of a nor'easter going on. I looked at them yesterday, and there doesn't seem to be any new growth yet. |
I cut back the guinea-pig potted C. comans 'Bronze' this morning. The three in-ground copies will be left alone this year. Time will tell. |
- Posted by achnatherum z5 Ontario (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 07 at 13:24
Donn, I cut back all my 'ever-brown' carex yesterday. They were starting to put on new growth. a. |

Getting ready to do my first Winter Warmer. I'm essentially shooting for a spiced Robust Porter. I would appreciate any thoughts (This is a 3 gal recipe and 70% Efficiency). Thanks. 7lbs Crisp Pale Ale 1lb Simpsons Medium Crystal .25lb Briess Roasted Barley .13lb Weyermann Carafa III 2 oz Willamette (5.5%) (60 Min) 1 tsp Irish Moss (15 Min) 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (1 Min) 1/8 tsp ground ginger (1 Min) 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg (1 Min) 1/8 tsp ground allspice (1 Min) Wyeast 1728 (Scottish Ale) Mash @ 154 Boil for 60 Min Est. OG = 1.073 Est. FG = 1.021 Est. IBU = 50 Est. Color = 25 SRM
Sounds delicious to me! I recently did a similar recipe but added a bit of smoked malt and used fresh sliced ginger root, crushed allspice berries, and whole cinnamon sticks to spice in the last 5 min of the boil. It's still in the primary so I'm not sure how it's turning out. Let me know how this one goes!

Basin Studies
Program Requirements
A detailed description of the requirements and process for conducting a Basin Study is contained in the Basin Study Framework. The following is a summary of the Basin Study Program requirements:
- Studies must focus on river basins or sub-basins in the 17 Western Reclamation States where imbalances in water supply and demand exist or are projected.
- Non-Federal partners must contribute at least 50 percent of the total study costs in non-Federal funding.
- Eligible non-Federal cost-share partners include states, tribes, water districts, cities or other local governmental entities with water management authority located in the 17 Western Reclamation States.
- Studies must be completed within two years from the date a memorandum of agreement is entered into with non-Federal study partners, unless Reclamation determines that an extension or phasing of the study is warranted (extensions and phasing will be approved only on a case-by-case basis).
- Studies must be conducted in accordance with the memorandum of agreement applicable to the particular study, to be developed by Reclamation in cooperation with the non-Federal cost-share partner(s) before work on the study begins.
- Each Basin Study will include four basic components:
- Projections of water supply and demand within the basin, or improvements on existing projections, taking into consideration the impacts of climate change;
- Analysis of how existing water and power infrastructure and operations will perform in the face of changing water realities such as population increases and climate change;
- Development of structural and nonstructural options to improve operations and infrastructure to supply adequate water in the future; and
- A trade-off analysis of the options identified and findings and recommendations as appropriate. Such analysis simply examines all proposed alternatives in terms of their relative cost, environmental impact, risk, stakeholder response, or other attributes common to the alternatives. The analysis can be either quantitative or qualitative in measurement.
A proposal may also be selected to complete a play of study. A plan of study will help the cost-share partners define the outcomes and set the scope and focus for a potential future Basin Study. It will be developed jointly by the Bureau of Reclamation and the cost-share partners. The cost-share partners will need to submit a proposal next year during the funding opportunity announcement to receive Reclamation's assistance in complet

MORE babies than ever are being diagnosed with Down's syndrome while still in
the womb, leading to a rise in abortions.
Figures released this week show the number of babies conceived who were found
to have the condition in England and Wales has soared by 71 per cent in 20
And the number of terminations has more than trebled – from 300 in 1989 to
1,100. Doctors say the high figures are a result of the growing number of
women waiting to have children later in life.
All pregnant women are offered tests for Down's syndrome. But women over 40
are 16 times more likely to have a pregnancy with the condition than women
under 25.
More than 90 per cent of mothers opt for an abortion when they lean their
unborn child has Down's syndrome.
Here, former Formula One world champion Damon Hill talks movingly to DULCIE
PEARCE about his Down's syndrome son.
We also speak to two women about the choices they made, while actor Tommy
Jessop offers his thoughts on living with the condition.

The Inactivists with Little Fyodor & Babushka Band and The Skivies, 4/1/2011
Tom Murphy The Inactivists
With Little Fyodor & Babushka Band and The Skivies
04.01.11 | Walnut Room
This show didn't turn out to be a April Fool's Day joke of some kind -- although that was certainly a possibility given that the Inactivists are jokers with a wickedly mischievous sense of humor. Nonetheless, at least The War On Jazz Hands got a proper introduction into the world at large at a venue with excellent sound and with bands on the bill that were as high quality as the headliner.
Tom Murphy Little Fyodor & Babushka Band
Seeing Little Fyodor & Babushka Band is a little like seeing The Ramones, except the songs are not played at maximum speed and are more twisted and bizarre, as if Edward Gorey wrote the lyrics while not being particularly focused on the macbre. This outfit doesn't really take breaks between songs except to engage in quasi-lewd commentary as theater. Little Fyodor himself is a dream subject of fascination for someone suffering from a combination of OCD and ADD, as his face constantly shifts from one contorted expression to the next when he's not singing profane and curiously memorable lyrics. But this was not a novelty act, even though Babushka, too, has a persona for the stage like a Lithuanian great aunt.
Read an interview with the Inactivists
The band played songs with titles like "You Give Me Hard-On," about, well, just what you might think it's about, and covered Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf," with Babushka, fully in character, on vocals. And each moment and note was executed with a precision and fluidity that only comes from honed talent. As per times past, Little Fyodor ended the show with his signature set of unpredictable dance moves called "The Dance of the Salted Slug." While the rest of the band played even weirder than usual music, Fyodor ran off stage into the audience to spread the weird to people often too afraid to be near it.
Tom Murphy The Skivies
When the Inactivists took stage, most of the band was wearing some piece of military gear because, well, it's a "War on Jazz Hands," right? But even that obvious gesture is just one layer of the ability of this band to use humor and sarcasm to express the absurd with great clarity. Opening with "Wannabe Dale Earnhardt," the Inactivists made us chuckle with a light-hearted evisceration of bad drivers with no sense of reality or care for other people on the road.

I've posted my first gay/lesbian novel online in its entirety. It's available to everyone for free. It's available in two formats: as web pages, or a MS-Reader .lit file. If you like it, tell all your friends.
The link is www.complexlives.com
Regards, Athen
It better be good (although from the looks of it, it will be) as I just had to copy and paste it all into Microsoft Word and it's 126 pages, even in size 8 font! I am printing it off as we speak (or type!)
I've noticed some grammatical errors, etc. but not too many. The only outstanding thing is that the first time you meet John and his wife, her name is Jane. The next time (and throughout the rest of the book), her name is Joan. I'd love to proofread it for you, I'm great at grammar. Anyways, I really like it. It's really well written. I'm not finished yet though.
i don't like it. i'm sorry, but it feels very superficial & is not especially well written. if you want any tips, private message me.

No it isn't. It is in you bias view that the Pac 12 should take any package that Directv can shove down their ***. Directv is in the wrong and just because you can't or won't see it and keep repeating things that are not true doesn't make Directv right. Like I said before it is Directv right to not carry the Network but it is also the Pac 12 Network right to only accept something that will make money. I'm done posting in this topic. It doesn't do any good going around and around when people don't want to listen or make stuff up.
Who needs who more?

- Thread: What did I do wrong???
Finished making a cake, was vanilla cake, did the buttercream crumb coat etc underneath and then covered with fondant. Had the finish looking good when I went to bed but when I got up in the morning it had developed a lot of air bubbles. Any advice on where I have gone wrong & what I could do to prevent this would be much appreciated. Thanks

Many of us love to pose for photos. It's fun making faces, being silly, dressing up, jump .... Funny pictures always come out and know you have a good chance that the photo (and your face) is more or less good if we pose, albeit a very exaggerated manner. But some people do not need to do this, do not need to pose, and that makes the picture always looks great [Photo:11978696]
And what if he looks nice always in the pictures, he always is with you when you want to shot your camera, he´s agree to be the object of shooting and then go with you to the shop with the same nerves as you?
It's great you look where you look, so my first blog is for him, because despite not being a photographer, or have a lomo, he is interested in photography as I do, because he knows that it is important to me. He is setting up a development lab at home just so I can do from the first to the last step when I take a photo.
So to the guy who never had a lomo but who knows almost everything about mine:
You are the best for me :-)
From the pictures we have done and for the picture we will do together!

"Make sure the stylist really listens to your needs and concerns before he lifts a pair of scissors or box of hair dye."
- Hair authority Philip B.
Buying Guide: Choosing the right Hair Salon
Looking for a new salon or stylist can seem daunting but it doesn't have to be hard work. Here are some simple steps to finding the best place for a dazzling new 'do.
Do a little investigation before choosing a new salon. Start your search in the comforts of home by visiting online guides for recommendations.
Be sure to look for salons that cater to your hair needs. Some salons specialize in color, while others may be focused on curly or ethnic hair types. Keep your cut, color and hair type in mind while doing research.
Ask Around
Ask someone with fabulous hair where they go, or start with your friends and coworkers. If you're new to a city, talk to neighbors or scan any checkout line and start a friendly chat. It may feel awkward at first, but people are usually flattered if you ask about their hair. When you ask, don't just ask "where", ask "who" - not all stylists are created equal.
Check it Out
When you choose your spot, ask for a complimentary consultation. Take a tour and make sure the space is spotless, well-maintained and is someplace you feel comfortable entrusting your tresses and investing your cash.
Here's a quick checklist of questions to ask yourself when you enter a new salon:
- What do you think of the stylists' hair?
- How do the clients look? Do they look relaxed and happy?
- Are the prices within your budget?
- Does the salon offer other services you appreciate (like a mani with your blowout!)?
- Does the stylist seem receptive to your wants and needs?
Share & Communicate
Hair connoisseur Philip B. says that open communication will help you form a game plan that makes both you and your stylist happy. Before you go, take a look at some magazines and bring pictures of styles you love. Tell the stylist about the products and tools you use, and let them know how much maintenance you're willing to put in based on your time and lifestyle. Don't be shy; reveal all of your recent beauty history and secrets to the new stylist. They'll do better work with all of the info.
Cortney Campus, stylist and co-owner of STYLE downtown in Pensacola, FL recommends these points guide you through that first hairy conversation:
- Likes and dislikes about your current hair cut and hair color
- Your history of services in the past year
- How much time you spend styling
- Which styling tools you use and how often
- How often you wash and condition
- Product you use and in what order
Do your homework and you'll be on your way to a gorgeous new relationship and a stunning new style. Next time you might be on the receiving end of the hair compliment.

Morrigan Aensland vs. Psylocke – Cosplay Clash
Morrigan doesn't feel like giving anyone else a chance, it seems. The alluring succubus is just one win away from entering the hallowed halls of the Arcade Sushi Cosplay Hall of Fame!
This is it, ladies and gents. If Vampy's Morrigan manages to pull out another win, she will have won seven consecutive times in a row and make it into the Hall of Fame. It's history in the making and you have front row seats.
Stella Chuu's Psylocke appeared in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, a game in which both of these brawling beauties fought in 3 vs. 3 mayhem. This comic book and fighting game vet is a great contender, but can she lock on to Morrigan's spot and stop her at the finish line?
It's up to you to decide who will win this Cosplay Clash between these two Capcom fighters! Voting closes on May 3rd 10AM PST.
Fans can vote once per hour for their favorite cosplayer. If a cosplayer remains the reigning champ for seven straight matches, they are retired to the Arcade Sushi Cosplay Hall of Fame. With so many great cosplayers out there, we have to give other cosplayers a chance!

We'll start Monday off with spicy news, since most of us probably need it: Boston will soon be home to a food truck bearing some of the most delicious, heapingly authentic tortas we've ever tried. The proprietor? Tenoch's industrious Alvaro Sandoval. He e-mailed us over the weekend (in between anniversary celebrations for his Medford restaurant) with details. This is almost better than coffee, right?
Tenoch Mobile should open in late spring or early summer, says Sandoval, with a tortas-only menu. Look for 'em at SoWa (he's secured two dates already); also expect him to find a permanent home for lunch Monday through Friday. Right now we favor his torta choriqueso: Telera bread, melted Oaxaca cheese with chorizo, chipotle mayo (essential), beans, onions, avocado, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Meanwhile, plans for his sit-down North End location are in the works: He's waiting for take-out approval but already has an OK for eat-in. He says that the menu will be a lot like the one in Medford, with enchiladas, tamales, tacos, and of course tortas.

I'm away on vacation so I can't easily hop into game, but isn't Corr on the GCD? So you have to wait ~1.5seconds to cast your first damaging spell on the blood beasts? Just doesn't seem worth it to me. You can either cast another direct damage on Saurfang if you're waiting for the adds to be targetable or just engage the adds immediately - either seem a better use of time (unless you have to run to engage the adds, wherein I'd question your positioning) and therefore dps.

Ready Check: Twin Val'kyr {WoW}
Oct 15th 2009 2:46PM ^this. We're a casual guild, meaning it's not uncommon to see the more 'serious' raiders doing 2-3x the damage of the less devout raiders. What this means is that taking the time to switch and losing seconds of DPS often meant we were cutting it close on Twin's Pact for a while since the "good" dps was out of commission for a while and the "other" dps was probably just confused.
Last week we stopped switching colours and just had all dps focus on the casting twin regardless of the essence. Since we run two 10-man groups per week in Toc, the result is that we break through the shield consistently every time with time to spare.
WoW Rookie: PUGging without the bad apples {WoW}
Oct 7th 2009 9:56AM PuGing, while not my goal, is often a good experience. Many times the run goes quicker than when trying to break in a new 80 who's just figuring out his alt's class (or scarier, role as healer/tank). I belong to a *good* guild, but not in the top 5. Often when PuGing/being PuGed I'll look at the guild tag of the person. It's a not-so-rare joy to run with 3 or 4 people of a top guild just looking to blow through the daily prior to raid times (which is my goal, too).

Ill Skillz In The Hood
Monday, March 31st, 2008They sound very West Coast. No, not Langebaan. California. They openly call each other 'dawg' and hype the crowd with 'yo's and yo, you know what, homes? Thank God. That someone's out there doing what everyday people obviously wanna hear without pretence. Ill Skillz are the newest and hottest jazz-hop act to hit Mother City shores, and damn son, they know how to hit it.
Ill Skillz in your Neighbourhood (Long St, CT) |
Check out the 5fm charts if you wanna see what we're being fed. At least these guys are keeping it local. With a pair of mikes belonging to upfront rappers Tommy Jinx and Jimmy Flexx. No seriously, the (aptly named) Neighbourhood was the spot to be on Saturday night for a fusion of jazz and hip hop surprisingly mature for a bunch of upstarts from Gugs. Backing up the rhymebusters are sax, bass, keyboards, two ladies on vocals, UCT Scratch Champ DJ Nick Knucklez on turntables. That's about all there is to say without checking the vids.
Wanna know more? Check the Overtone gig guide for upcoming shows. Also catch the interview we did with Mr Tommy Jenks, and check out the pics below, yo. Peace.

Europe: Saying no to cut and paste social projects
di Carlotta Jesi
The Mose project special report: part 1
What skills should the managers of social enterprises have? And what is the best way to acquire them? In Europe there is no single answer to this question. And without one it is impossible to even imagine a social job market, let alone a social career market. So what to do?
Mose (an innovative training model for social enterprises), a European project part of the second phase of the Leonardo da Vinci programme, aims to fill the void. By creating, implementing, verifying and validating an innovative professional training model (called the MOSE Model) for social enterprises. Through this model it will be possible to define and describe the qualities needed at top and middle management level and, even more important, the professional paths that lead to acquiring the needed social finance, social marketing and social communication skills.
The means to reach the objective are twofold: a desk research phase and a field research phase carried out by partners from five European countries. The local authority of Avellino, Italy, who is promoting the initiative, has joined forces with SILabo (a laboratory for the information society that coordinates the project) to bring on board four other Italian organisations: VITA Consulting, ASVI, La Locomotiva social cooperative and the Associazione Diogene. While the European partners are: CIES from Spain, the CooperativeCollege and Leeds Metropolitan University from the UK, Caritas of Danzica from Poland and APOPSI from Greece.
The results? Last spring Mose partners met in Naples to present and discuss their findings and to reflect on what project design means in the European context. VitaEurope was also there: here are the protagonists of the event and the first results of this ambitious European project.

27 Things We Learned from the 'Tron' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on April 18, 2013 | Comments (2)Nowadays, it's no big deal to see computer animation in films. In fact, the use of CGI in films can range from being mundane to being annoying. However, three decades ago, computer animation was in its infancy, and one of the biggest pioneers of its use in major motion pictures was Tron from Walt Disney Studios. Tron's legacy led to the development and release of its sequel Tron: Legacy two years ago from Joseph Kosinski, and now the release of Kosinski's latest film Oblivion. However, without the original Tron, we might not have the use of virtual environments that moviegoers are used to now. Dialing back the digital clock to 1982, let's take a look at the original Tron through the eyes of its creators, whose ambitious little computer cartoon revolutionized an industry. Director Steven Lisberger, along with the producers and visual effects supervisors, recorded a commentary for the film for the 20th anniversary 2002 DVD, which is also available on the 2011 Blu-ray release.

I just looked at the Garden Gallery, thinking I'd post some photos of Giverney, Mona Vale in Christchurch, New Zealand, and other public gardens I've visted. There wasn't really an appropriate category, or way to find photos of a specific garden.
I suggested that Garden Gallery start a 'public gardens' category. If you think this is a good idea - whether you'd like to post photos or look at photos sorted by location/garden - please add your comments under 'Make a suggestion for a new Category,' and maybe it will happen. |

This would be a wonderful addition to the Garden Web. Great idea. |
great idea, but could private gardens be included? i visited one this summer in charlevoix, quebec - les quatre vents - that is still a private home, open just 4 saturdays in the summer to those with reservations. an amazing place! |

Quoted from Symbi The famous Henriettediet - how are you going on that Henriette? I am actually doing well- at times a few * dots sneak in- but my diamonds feels soo good. I like the way you put your traits according to Genotype, very organised! Do you have incisor shovelling? YesWhat kind of fingerprints? Mainly whorls 4 on left hand + 1 ulnar loop3 on right hand+ 2 ulnar loops- and btw both my index fingers are longer How tall are you 5,5- that is not very tall in Denmark where women are on average are 5.7 and th younger ones even taller - Nomad types are normally short or tall?I sympathise on being assymetrical, breasts and all, thought that was an Explorer thing?Well it is also under nomadsOne thing that totally amazed me about finding I was an explorer was how it fits with personality, I'm also INFP / INFJ (more J as I'm getting older). I was stunned when the book said that Explorers in the womb, learnt that they would have to adapt to wildly changing conditions. me too- my mum was quite stressed when she was pregnant- doing exams at the University and taking care of my dadThat was exactly what I needed for a very changable childhood, 5 hometowns, 12 schools, 5 different family situations. wow that could be me; my parents came from very different lifes Mum upperclass and dad working class- they got divorced when I was 7 - and we moved to a commune- my mum fell in love with this crazy american greenpeace activist - and we started a totally different life - but I still had to be able to see my dads and mums family - so one thing Im VERY good at is adapting . Since then life's kept on changing alot. I did alot of temp work and I was able to adapt and fit in to just about any workplace or situation. me too- but it also makes it hard for me to figure out what I really want to do.Kind of like one of those changable morphs in Red Dwarf or Star Trek Sometimes though it's like I change to fit everyone around me and forget about pleasing myself though

The Who to record new material next year?
Roger Daltrey has suggested The Who might record new material next year, while also played down reports that a proposed Who tour in 2015 will be their last.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Daltrey said, "That will be the last big tour. People have read that wrong though. We aren't finishing after that. We intend to go on doing music until we drop, but we have to be realistic about our age. The touring is incredibly grinding on the body and we have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. This will be the last old-fashioned, big tour."
Asked whether the band will dig deep into their back catalogue to play some rarer cuts, Daltrey confirmed that the shows would focus on The Who's substantial catalogue of hits. "People don't want new stuff," says Daltrey. "The fans might want that, but most people that want to come to a show want to hear what they grew up with. Let's not kid ourselves. We will always sell more tickets if we play the hits. That's a fact. The economics of the road, obviously, demand that you sell a lot of tickets... There might be 40,000 total people in America who want to hear 'Slip Kid.' That won't be enough to put us on the road."
In perhaps the biggest revelation, Daltrey claimed: "We're hoping to do an album. If we play any of those songs, we'll have to do them in separate shows and announce that ahead of time. If people want to buy those tickets in great numbers, fabulous."

Streetscape Improvements on Market Street to Continue!
Lemoyne is on the move again! In the fall of 2010 Borough Council decided to take advantage of an opportunity to receive federal funding for additional improvements for Phase 2 of the Market Street streetscape improvements. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) created a grant program known as the Pennsylvania Community Transportation Initiative (PCTI) to fund eligible transportation enhancement projects in local communities. A total of $24.7 million was made available, with a maximum grant award of $1.5 million.
After a very competitive grant application and review process, it was announced that Lemoyne was successful in obtaining $1.5 million for the Market Street Project. Based on a "Complete Street" conceptual design for the Market Street corridor, this phase will continue the improvements on either side of the improvements made to Market Street during 2010, including a pedestrian crosswalk at Seventh Street by the Middle School, sidewalk improvements and pedestrian lighting, rain gardens for storm water management, roadway striping, and site furnishings such as trees, benches, trash receptacles and bicycle racks. Grant funds will be used to pay for all design and engineering costs, construction inspection costs, and the construction costs.
Because the project will be funded with federal funds the next step for the Borough is to go through an established process of choosing a design and engineering consultant. Once the consultant is selected the final design and engineering phase can begin. This must all be completed and approved by PennDOT by the end of June 2012 so the project can be put out to bid and the funds encumbered. Construction could possibly begin in the fall of 2012.
Council would like you to be involved in community revitalization efforts. There will be opportunities for residents and property owners to participate in the streetscape design process before final plans are approved. Check our web site here or call the Borough office to find out when the public participation meetings will be held.
Lemoyne Phase 2 Streetscape ImprovementsLemoyne's PCTI ApplicationTri-Borough Streetscape Master Plan, November 2010
"Welcome to Lemoyne" SignsThe Revitalization Committee has identified 16 entry points into Lemoyne. In 2008, with a grant made possible by DCED through State Representative Jerry Nailor, the Design subcommittee with Kairos Design Group developed a conceptual plan for one of the main entry points, the Bottleneck.Looking to leverage the grant dollars, former Council Member Judy McAllister contacted Hempt Brothers for donation of a stone base for a welcome sign. Hempt Brothers invited committee members to their Mechanicsburg quarry to view two rocks for consideration. The committee selected the smaller of the two – opting for the "baby" 18 ton.The committee selected the location for the "Welcome to Lemoyne" sign and a deed of easement was granted by property owners Candis and Blair Trogner. On December 9, 2008 "The Rock" was moved to its permanent site. A second grant covers lighting and landscaping.As additional funding becomes available, other gateway signage will be installed.See pictures from the Welcome Sign dedication on 25 April 2009
Downtown Revitalization Project SummaryThe Downtown Revitalization Committee, a committee of Lemoyne Borough Council was convened with new community membership, convening their first meeting in September 2005. The committee members enlisted the support and technical assistance of the Cumberland County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (CCHRA) and the Cumberland County Planning Commission. Under the leadership of Chris Gulotta, CCHRA's Executive Director; the committee worked on developing a Vision Plan. This Vision Plan was called "Lemoyne 2026". The Vision Plan was completed in April 2006.In June of 2006, the committee developed the priority areas that the downtown revitalization project would initially target. This area includes from the Bottleneck on Market Street to Fifth Street and also Market and Third Street intersection to Herman Avenue. The following sub-committees were formed to support the project: Design, Promotion, Organization and Economic Development.In 2007, CCHRA applied for a Main Street Planning Grant in the amount of $25,000 to develop a concept streetscape plan. The County matched the grant with $12,500 and the Borough provided for the required match of $740. This planning grant allowed for the hiring of a consultant to develop what is now known as the Streetscape Master Plan. Kairos Design Group LLC of Lemoyne and Powers & Associates LLC of Harrisburg partnered to develop this plan. Read more about the streetscape process.To assist in readying the plan for implementation which requires adequate funding; the Revitalization Committee defined five phases that might be implemented over a period of five years. The estimated cost for these improvements is approximately $2.5 million dollars.Click here for overview maps of the five phases covering Market and Third Streets.Click here to see an image (JPG) of all five phases.Click here to see our presentation-size graphic (JPG) of the overall plan.
Revitalization Committee and the Strategic PlanThe Revitalization committee, currently under the leadership of Council Member Lori Hegedus, meets the 3rd Monday of each month at 7:30 pm in the Borough Building. This committee is comprised of residents and business owners who care deeply about the community in which they live or work. These meetings are open to the public and anyone is welcome to attend. Click here to view the committee's Downtown Revitalization Strategic Plan.Accomplishments to date include the Lemoyne 2026 Vision Plan, Master Streetscape Plan, Welcome to Lemoyne Sign at Bottleneck entrance, the Borough Website, Spring Clean Up Day, Lemoyne Business Directory, New Lemoyne Logo, and the creation of the Lemoyne Business Association. If you are interested in helping with Lemoyne's revitalization efforts, please contact Lori Hegedus at 575-7152 or email@example.com.
With funding in place, Phase 1A of Market Street improvements was commenced...In December 2008, Kairos Design was awarded a contract by the Cumberland County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (CCHRA) for the design of Phase 1A and the preparation of bid specifications.

November 12, 2008 press release
Focal Point at the Hess Gas StationA significant focal point exists at the intersection of Market and State Streets at the Hess Gas Station. As part of the traffic calming design criteria and softening of the expanse of asphalt and concrete, the design team developed a concept for a focal point that would be visually pleasing as well as encourage pedestrian activity.A plaza concept was presented to the design committee and the committee under the leadership of Sue Yenchko contacted the Hess Corporation. The Borough's concept plan for such a plaza was presented to the Hess Corporation.Lemoyne then entered into its first public/private partnership whereby Hess agreed to develop a plaza into the rebuild of the gas station. Hess will be redeveloping this gas station site, rebuilding a larger mini-mart station and as a part of those plans, a plaza will be included.Hess Corporation is currently in the engineering and planning stages for this redevelopment. The project is expected to be completed in 2011 or 2012.

Unconventional oil and gas will fry climate: ExxonMobil report
ExxonMobil's influential global energy report, "The Outlook for Energy: A View to 2040", says that new technologies like fracking and tar sands are unlocking a gusher of oil and natural gas.
Our ability to extract new sources of fossilized carbon is growing even faster than we can burn them up. ExxonMobil reports that the amazing surge in "unconventional" sources of oil and natural gas is so great that humanity can continue to burn ever increasing amounts of fossil carbon for well over a century.
And that is exactly what they expect the world will do.
The oil and gas giant expects humanity will meet two-thirds of our increased energy demand by choosing to burn even more oil and gas than we do now.
In contrast, they expect people to choose new renewable energy sources for less than a quarter of our new energy supply.
The result will be that renewable energy sources will continue to lose ground to fossil fuels through 2040 and beyond. The energy production gap between fossil fuels and renewable energy will grow 35% larger than it is today.
ExxonMobil's report paints a big, bright, beautiful picture of the future made possible by burning ever increasing amounts of fossil carbon. The pages of their report brim with happy people gazing at shimmering cell phones and jelly bean pretty charts.
Off the climate cliff
Unfortunately for most of humanity, all that extra fossil fuel burning also comes with one very big downside. If we do burn that much more fossil carbon the resulting climate pollution will crank the global thermostat up by 4OC. And that, scientists and global leaders say, will inflict climate misery on humanity for thousands of years.
ExxonMobil includes a colourful chart showing the surge in climate pollution that will result from burning all that extra oil and gas. They even provide the numerical data in a table at the end of the report.
What they don't talk about, however, is what all the climate pollution means for your future. They never mention how hot the planet will get or what changes that is expected to bring.
The missing chart
To find out what their expected levels of climate pollution will mean for us I turned to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The IEA publishes three climate pollution scenarios that will lead to global warming of +2OC, +4OC and +6OC respectively.
My chart below shows ExxonMobil's emissions projections in the context of the IEA's three global warming scenarios. Take a look:
As you can see, ExxonMobil's projections closely match the IEA pathway to a planet that is 4OC hotter.
Their projections also closely match BP's "most likely" projections made last year. It seems the economic energy models of the oil supermajors agree that humanity will continue to burn ever more fossil carbon instead of switching to cleaner energy sources to preserve a safe climate future.
Climate scientists say that the threshold for "dangerous" climate changes and tipping points is +2OC. The nations of the world, including Canada and the USA, have pledged to keep global warming below this dangerous +2OC threshold.
The World Bank says the +4OC world we are headed for will be "devastating" for humanity. Their own recent study calls such a future a "climate catastrophe" that "simply must not be allowed to occur" because "there is also no certainty that adaptation to a 4°C world is possible."
The U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says climate changes at that level would pose an "existential challenge for the whole human race - our way of life, our plans for the future."
International Monetary Fund director stated bluntly that in a world that hot, "future generations will be roasted, toasted, fried and grilled."
Biz-as-usual will be even worse
Amazingly, ExxonMobil's emissions projections aren't a "business-as-usual" scenario.
They assume "that governments will continue to gradually adopt a wide variety of more stringent policies to help stem GHG emissions." This includes a carbon price rising to $80 per tonne of CO2 (tCO2) in OECD nations, like Canada and the USA.
A carbon price of $80 is much too low to prevent climate disaster according to ExxonMobil. And yet it is also far above what we have the political will for so far.
BC, Alberta and Canada
For example, here in BC we have one of the highest carbon prices in the world at $30 per tCO2. We would need to increase that $2 every year for twenty five years in a row to get to $80 by 2040. But the political will to increase it has evaporated. The current Clark government has declared a multi-year freeze on it.
As ExxonMobil's economic and energy modelling shows, $80 per tCO2 isn't a lot. Raising the BC Carbon Tax to $80 will increase gasoline prices by 9%. Gasoline prices in BC have increased ten times more than that in just the last few years. Over in the UK, gas taxes are 80 cents higher per litre than in BC. The BC Carbon Tax would need to rocket beyond $350 per tCO2 before our gasoline prices matched what the English already pay today.
These examples show why carbon prices will need to be higher than $80 to ensure a safe climate future.
Meanwhile, Alberta next door charged a carbon price of less than $1 per tonne of CO2 in their province last year. (Math: $160m paid in emissions compliance divided by 210m tCO2 from fossil fuel burning = $0.76 per tCO2).
Environment Canada projects that Alberta's extremely low carbon pricing will result in such a huge surge in climate pollution that the province will single-handedly wipe out all the climate cuts in all the rest of Canada.
Despite clear warning that their weak policies are leading to national failure, Alberta has never raised their carbon price. Even discussing charging more than their current $1 per tCO2 in the future is proving to be politically toxic.
At the national level, the Harper government has vilified carbon pricing for years as a socialist scheme that will destroy the economy. Recently, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that his long-promised climate regulations for our oil and gas sector would be delayed yet again. This time "indefinitely".
ExxonMobil reaps benefit, shirks responsibility
ExxonMobil benefits from selling fossil fuels but appears to take no responsibility for any of the climate damage their products cause.
They sold over a trillion dollars in fossil fuel products in the last three years. Profits approached a billion dollars a week. And yet the responsibility they assume for the megatonnes of CO2 their products will cause is zero. Their report mirrors this benefit-responsibility disconnect. They spend many pages talking about the benefits of their products and not a single word about the climate consequences of using them.
Studies show that the disconnect between who benefits from fossil fuels and who takes responsibility for the resulting CO2 is growing ever wider in recent years. More than 60% of global economic benefit from fossil fuels is now out of sync with the UN's decades-old carbon accounting system for CO2 responsibility.
The UN accounting system puts all the CO2 responsibility onto the nations that burn fossil fuels. But nations also benefit from selling fossil fuels to others and from consuming products and services made elsewhere using fossil fuels. The explosion in global trade in fossil fuels, products and services means that assigning all the CO2 responsibility to those burning fossil fuels no longer accurately reflects who benefits. The accounting system is full of "carbon responsibility leakages".
If we are going to avoid the "climate catastrophe" ExxonMobil's own data shows we are headed for, everyone who benefits from fossil fuels will need to start shouldering some of the responsibility for the climate pollution. That needs to happen for moral, fairness and successful policy reasons.
The outlook for different energy sources
I'll wrap up with a brief look at how ExxonMobil expects the different energy sources to evolve...

Echoes of the 2013 BP Energy Report
Thank you for this sobering report. Both Esso and BP have reached the same conclusions:
Huge quantities of dirty oil are available.
They will make huge profits on this oil.
The consequences of burning all this dirty oil are seriously dangerous for all life on the planet.
They did warn us!
But the IPCC just told us that over the past 15 years the Earth has cooled! All the model were wrong, and we are saving so called scientists from the ice (in the middle of summer) in the Antartic. When did science become a religion? I thought it was about facts.
There is nothing to replace fossil fuels and nuclear...
Without them we starve in the dark....Slow motion apocalypse ...
Thank you for this sobering report. Both Esso and BP have reached the same conclusions:

The good news is that increasing CO2 in the atmosphere aids the growth of all plants, thus helps in the greening of the world. Since for the past 16 to 18 years there has been an obvious disconnect between the increasing CO2 levels and the non-increase of global temperature, it's pretty clear that the models have to either be thrown out or at the least, greatly modified. When the experiment doesn't support the hypothesis, the hypothesis is proven wrong in science. Time to get back to science in this analysis.
CO2 accumulation models
I run my own models for atmospheric accumulation of CO2.
Under the rosiest of scenarios (modest population increases and eventual 90% reduction of CO2 emissions per capita), the atmospheric level rises to 600ppm by 2100.
Under "business as usual" conditions for population growth and per capita emissions, we are headed well past 1500ppm.
The first result is dangerous, but the second one is a harbinger of complete climate disaster, at least as far as the human population is concerned.
I'm too old to see 2100, but my grandson is not. I greatly fear for his future.
Unconventional oil...

Be relaxed - you are being hyped to death by misinformation. The climate sensitiviey of CO2 has been hopelessly overhpyed and the role of water vapour in moderating the anticipated GHG effect has not even been part of the discussion; water vapour is the most important GHG!
No global warming in 16+ years – a fact acknowledged by all global expert climate institutions - HadCRUT, NOAA, NASA, IPCC
No extreme weather trends, other than a trend toward more cold snaps in formerly tropical places. (Roger Pielke, Jr. US Senate Testimony; Madhav Khandekar "Extreme Weather...")
No 97% consensus on AGW – only 1-3% of scientists stated any catastrophic view in 3 of 4 'consensus' surveys; most scientists thought natural factors more influential and the greatest number did not express an opinion.
No global temperature rise despite a significant rise in carbon dioxide (CO2).
No sea level rise due to climate factors; in some places land is sinking or 'rebounding' from previous ice age and tilting (i.e. southern England down, northern Scotland up); or sinking due to land subsidence from ground water extraction. These factors are unrelated to climate change or global warming.
No such thing as 'carbon pollution.' Carbon is what you are made of – and you breath it out at 40,000 parts per million (ppm) with every breath. Beer and champagne and soda are full of carbon dioxide; dance floors feature fog from dry ice carbon dioxide.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health and Human Services, adverse health effects from cigarette smoking account for an estimated 443,000 deaths, or nearly 1 of every 5 deaths, each year, in the United States. More deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides and murders combined.
Additionally, smoking causes an estimated 90 percent of all lung cancer deaths in men and 80 percent of all lung cancer deaths in women.
The GRAAB Coalition (Going Respectfully Against Addictive Behaviors) recognizes the challenges ahead of us and wants to provide the community with the tools to help address this issue.
Recently, we became aware of data at the state level which gave us cause for concern. In light of this data, we will increase our efforts to address youth tobacco use and attempt to find resources for those struggling to quit.
As of December 2012, the state of Tennessee ranks 45th in protecting youths from tobacco use, this according to a report published by the CDC. Additionally, a corresponding report states that 21.6 percent of Tennessee high schools students smoke, with 7,600 of our Tennessee youth (under the age of 18) becoming daily smokers each year.
What is even more shocking are the deaths related to smoking in Tennessee, as adults who die each year from their smoking number 9,700. The same data projects 132,000 youth in Tennessee under the age of 18 will ultimately die prematurely from smoking.
We also need to consider the cost to the residents in the state of Tennessee as well. Annual health care costs in Tennessee directly caused by smoking have totaled $2.16 billion.
If we can educate our youth on the dangers of tobacco use, then maybe, just maybe, we can save one life. Working with our existing partners, we are updating our plan and tailoring it to fit our community. We hope to be the example other communities in the state follow, and we want to help our state increase their efforts in intervention.
The consequences of using tobacco in any form can be devastating: increased risk of cancer, reproductive issues, heart disease, stroke and death. But prevention is possible, and is as important now as ever before, especially among young people. It's also important for individuals who currently smoke or use tobacco — even if only occasionally — to stop. The longer a person smokes, the more damage is done to the body. Quitting at any age has immediate benefits.
The mission of the GRAAB Coalition is to bring together concerned members and service providers of the community to facilitate lowering the misuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, as well as other addictive behaviors, in Bradley County, by providing effective education, recovery and support for youth, families and the community.

10 Ways to Make Valentine's Day Special on a Budget
Expensive gifts, dinners or trips don't necessarily mean the most for Valentine's Day. They just cost the most.
Expensive gifts, dinners or trips don't necessarily mean the most for Valentine's Day. They just cost the most.
Tell us how you'll spend Valentine's Day and earn VIP Points.
Kellie, J-Si, Big Al and Jenna asked Kidd Kraddick in the Morning listeners to record and submit love songs about them because they're so needy during Valentine's Day!
Larry and Kelcie were in love from the beginning in high school. They were inseparable, and Larry wanted nothing more to propose to the love of his life.
Then everything changed.
If you want to show your lady love just how much she makes your heart explode this Valentine's Day, why not just go ahead and make her heart explode?
There are ways to be romantic and not spend a ton of money. Todd Harding has done everything on this list over the years. Some of the ideas do take a little bit of work. These are Todd's 5 favorite money-saving Valentine's Day Ideas.
Women tend to take Valentine's Day a little more serious than their male counter parts. That is perfectly okay, but what would happen if men and women switched places on this day of love? What would the world look like?
Certified (we think) Kidd Kraddick in the Morning Love Expert Kellie Rasberry got a tough love letter question from a listener who asked if Valentine's Day is the best time to ask a girl he likes to be his girlfriend.
It's THE question at restaurants and steakhouses - how would you like yours cooked?
The economy is having a love affair with Valentine's Day.
Remember when Valentine's Day was awesome? You spent all day gluing construction paper to a shoe box, for the sole purpose of having people stuff it with cheap candy and cards from the pharmacy. Now it's just Someecards on Facebook and the orange creams are all that's left in the Whitman's sampler in the office kitchen.
Here are some of those cards you maybe used to get in your shoebox, if the teacher was too depressed to make you make your own Valentines. Happy Valentine's Day.

The latest Apple TV commercial featuring "Mac" and "PC" includes a third-character–a Mac Genius, who demonstrates her brainpower by rattling off square-roots and other computational tasks tossed out by PC. But who plays the part of the Genius? Actor or real Genius? By the way, it's the first ever real advertising for the retail stores by Apple.

That commercial made me cringe… those poor Genii take enough crap for being called "Genius" already. That commercial just is going to make the flood of stupid comments/questions they get already even worse. Too bad Apple didn't have PC ask the MG questions about helping with a Mac… which really would have illustrated better what in hell a Mac Genius is in the first place; not the know-it-all as shown in the ad.

No idea re Genius, but Mac's new haircut is looking pretty good……..
- May 8, 2007 at 1044
My guess is she's an actor. One other point. I think they made a special t-shirt for her to be more easily read on TV. I'm pretty sure that the print on the in-store shirts is not quite that large.
- May 8, 2007 at 1357
You're right about the shirt. Very much enlarged logo on the front. She's an actor, there all actors!
- May 9, 2007 at 1132
She's an actor like the rest. Why put a real MG in the ad anyway?
Gill is right: Mac Genius' answer a lot of stupid and silly questions every single day, mostly from store management. - May 9, 2007 at 1249
Umm, Yeah. Who cares? the commercial was funny. Get over it.
