I have the first batch of Flannel Flower about to burst into bloom and they are a long way from their home territory. I am in SE Qld To make sure the flower heads are pollinated as I want to harvest the seeds I thought I might do this manually. Does anyone know what technique I should use ? Probably have only 4 or 5 mature flowers at any one time so have to be sure of what I am doing. Regards |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nod, I can't really "google up" anything of use, other than that they are pollinated by insects - (what a surprise). If you want to search a bit yourself the botanical name is Actinotus helianthi. I grew up in Sydney on the south side where they were then common enough in the sandy bush around our area, congrats on trying them up here. I should just use a soft paintbrush (kids art brush style) to try to move pollen from one flower to another, both mornings and afternoons, just tickle round and see what happens. I do read though that propagation from seed is a bit sporadic though cuttings sometimes work and now they are tissue culturing it (there, you may have a purpose to go further with that). Since they are being trialed for the cut-flower industry most of writings seem to be slanted that way - I found an article by the australian government on commercial propagation but can't seem to post the link. |
Thanks Alison, I will search further myself. I tried cuttings. Probably didn't try too hard but found I was successful with seeds. The plants have to be 3 years now and soon to flower. I intend posting photographs and reporting on the process of getting them to that stage for anyone who might be inclined. Probably a week or two. Nod |
Nice to see you've had some success with them, Nod. I haven't tried them where I am (NSW Northern Rivers). B. |

Windows Vista Home Premium Edition does not boot. The green scrolling status bar remains forever. When I run the NeoSmart EasyRe disk, it fixes the MBR and then Windows WILL boot up OK. However, at the next reboot, it reverts back to the scrolling bar again and will not boot again.
NO new software was installed; no hardware was installed; I believe Windows did an automatic update, however I cannot confirm it.
I've done a complete back-up of files.
Tried fixes:
Chkdsk to look for bad sectors. None found.
Memory tests: Did find some issues, but cannot determine what part or type of memory is affected.
System restore: restored to one month prior to issue. Did not resolve the problem.
1. When the MBR gets repaired, Windows boots OK, so I am assuming that the issue is happening when Windows shuts down, and writes something(?) back to the HD. What would it write that the EasyRE disk would fix ??
2. If I try and run traces, will it work if Windows doesn't boot up again until after I fix the MBR?
Thanks for any info...

Good Morning, Broncos fans! With Arizona's last-second win last night, the Broncos are now assured a top-3 pick if they should win exactly one of their remaining games. If they lose both games, Denver will get a top-2 pick, and if Carolina also beats Atlanta next week, the Broncos would pick 1st overall. Two wins by Denver would bring several other teams into the equation and could drop the Broncos to as low as the 8th pick.
In other words, it would be disastrous for the Broncos to win their last two games. They will have lost 11 games, gotten their head coach fired, enraged fans and become the butt of jokes nationwide, only to be picking perhaps 8th overall. This scenario would likely preclude Denver from the ability to select one of the top defensive linemen or cornerbacks who are expected to enter the draft (without trading up to do so).
Now, obviously it is very difficult to root against one's own team. In fact, I find it pretty much impossible myself. But our current situation allows us to not get too upset when a play goes badly, ie. a Bronco drops a pass or the Texans score, get mad for a second and then think "Top-2 Pick". Really, we need it. Whether it's for the chance to draft Andrew Luck or trade him for a bounty of picks, or to take someone like Da'Quan Bowers, Nick Fairley, Patrick Peterson, or Prince Amukamara, going 1-1 or 0-2 between today and next Sunday is crucial. As an aside, how neat would it be to have a pair of starting cornerbacks next season named Champ and Prince? So, of course - root for the Broncos to win and for Tim Tebow to show progress, but if/when they lose, don't sweat it. We'll be right where we want to be...
Good Morning, Broncos fans! To those of you who are celebrating today, we here at IAOFM would like to wish you a Merry Christmas! Enjoy the day, eat well, be safe and please don't drive drunk. As always, thanks so much to all of you for being here - we appreciate your readership.
Broncos, Gators, and Tebow fans of the world, unite! This is our final installment of Tebow(etheus) Unbound.
Today we're looking at Tebow's final four throws (13-16) from Sunday's game.
You can go back and read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 if you'd like. Or jump right into today's breakdance breakdown. At the end of today's piece, as an added bonus, I gathered my summary thoughts on Tebow. I thought it was time to finally take a stand on him.
For those Raiders fans who can't read wait until the end, I'll put it this way: I think the guy can play.
Yes, after watching all of his throws from last Sunday dozens and dozens of times, I'm pushing all of my chips to the center of the table and I'm betting on Tebow. Sure, he didn't play with more than a quarter of the playbook. Sure, the sample size was small. Sure, he's going to struggle like other rookies have. And sure, the easiest thing to do is to sit on the fence so that I can later claim I was right about Tebow, no matter what direction the Broncos go. But after watching each of these throws dozens of times, I'm confident in his abilities to be the Broncos' quarterback of the future.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! It's like clockwork, folks. Another day, another player hits IR. Another sunrise, another glaring bit of journalistic bumbling from the DP. Yesterday, Mike Klis wrote that Kyle Orton is only owed $2.879 million in guarantees in 2011 based upon the one-year extension he signed with Denver in August. Yet, Klis originally reported the contract extension as providing Orton with $5.5 million in guarantees for 2011. The same info was given on the DP Blog at the time.
Also yesterday, Jeff Legwold wrote that "original reports" put Orton's guarantees as being worth $8.1 million between the 2010 and 2011 seasons. He says that a review of NFLPA documents says that Orton is only due $2.879 million next year. No correction, no admission that the Denver Post was reporting incorrect information from their ironclad sources. Sure - this is of a much smaller magnitude, but it's otherwise the same as agent mouthpieces Jason La Canfora reporting the signing bonus attached to Donovan McNabb's contract as being worth $40 million. If we can't depend upon beat reporters to get simple facts like this straight, or own up to them when they've been hoodwinked by self-serving player agents, then exactly what service are they providing to us, their readers?
Another day, another Bronco hits IR - this time, it's kicker Matt Prater. Steven Hauschka will continue to perform Denver's kicking duties. Six players were limited participants in practice today for the Broncos, including Knowshon Moreno, who had not practiced yesterday.
If you've made it this far, congratulations. You are one of three types of people:
1) You love Tim Tebow;
2) You love NFL playbooks;
3) You typed in "Woody Paige Is Fat" into Google.
Here at It's All Over, Fat Man! we'll take all three. We have no prejudices--unless you count our almost psychopathic leanings towards zone blitzing.
If you're just stumbling upon this series, you can always go back and get Part 1 & Part 2 first. Or you can just go commando and read this third installment of Tebow(etheus) Unbound. Today we'll be looking at throws 9-12, in which Tebow looked like a NFL-caliber quarterback.
Continue reading "The Playbook Abides: Tebow(etheus) Unbound - Part 3"
Good Morning, Broncos fans! In his column yesterday, TJ wrote that he thought perhaps Tim Tebow could thrive in a WCO ala Steve Young. Meanwhile, Mike Lombardi considered the Broncos' situation with Tebow and suggested that Denver actually needs to stick with an offensive-oriented HC to continue the young QB's development. His choice? Why, none other than Gary Kubiak - although Lombardi says the zone-blocking offense has become somewhat obsolete with its smaller linemen, he thinks it could be an ideal scheme for Tebow to operate within.
Knowshon Moreno and Matt Prater did not practice yesterday, while Brian Dawkins, Demaryius Thomas and Darcel McBath returned in limited fashion. As mentioned yesterday, Spencer Larsen was placed on IR and replaced on the active roster by Stanley Daniels. To fill Daniels' spot on the practice squad, Denver signed LB Dominic Douglas.
Kyle Orton has been told that Tim Tebow will remain the Broncos' starting QB for their Week 17 home matchup versus San Diego, even if Orton is healthy enough to play. While he admitted to being disappointed by the decision, Orton said,
I understand that as an organization you have a lot invested in a first-round draft pick and you want to see him play, so that's how it goes.
During his press conference today, Denver interim coach Eric Studesville announced that FB Spencer Larsen had been placed on IR with an ankle injury he suffered during Sunday's game. Taking Larsen's place on the roster will be G Stanley Daniels, who was promoted from the practice squad and had started the season's first four games at left guard.
Yesterday, in Part 1 of Tebow(etheus) Unbound, we took a look at Tim Tebow's first four throws against the Pirates of Penzance Raiders last Sunday.
We saw how, during the early part of the game, the Broncos were intent on keeping Tebow in some run-heavy sets, while simplifying his throws.
Today, we'll be looking at throws 5-8, which included the long touchdown pass to Brandon Lloyd.
Here, we're going to see what happened when the Broncos gave Tebow a little more leeway.
We present to you Tebow(etheus) Unbound, Part Deux.
Continue reading "The Playbook Abides: Tebow(etheus) Unbound - Part 2"
Good Morning, Broncos fans! While you're finishing your shopping, I'm getting all worked up about stupid media narratives. The latest? That the Broncos only have six draft picks in 2011, because Joseph Stalin Josh McDaniels is a terrible person and an even worse handler of draft choices. Plus, he wasted all those picks on the guy that everyone now thinks is going to save humanity the franchise from what was a few days ago impending doom. Let's take a quick peek at the 2010 Draft, shall we? Denver entered the selection party with 7 choices, including one 1st-rounder, two 2nd-rounders, a third and so on. Thanks to Brian Xanders and McDaniels' deft movement down and up the draft board (really, it was brilliant - don't let anyone tell you otherwise), Denver ended up with two 1st-rounders, a 2nd-rounder and two 3rd-rounders without giving up any other choices.
So, the Broncos started out with four choices in the first three rounds, and they ended up with five choices. According to the draft chart that Jimmy Johnson pulled out of his ass everyone goes by, the Broncos went from 2,360 points down to 2,295 points, a slippage of 65 points (one mid-4th-rounder). Football Outsiders' draft chart, which uses real actual data to assign values to each pick, says the Broncos went from 6,565 points up to 7,560 points, a gain of 995 points (a high 3rd-rounder). Call me crazy, but ending up with two 1st-rounders and one 2nd-rounder is a heck of a lot better than the one 1st-rounder and two 2nd-rounders Denver had started out with. Oh, and and extra third-rounder to boot? Why yes, thank you much.

I bought some maxifort seeds to experimewnt with this year.
The plants do seem VERY vigourous. So what happens if I let one grow?

The fruits are cherry size, yellowish white, taste awful (might be right down your alley), and most of all, the seed do NOT come true to type. This is a genuine hybrid and the segregation in the offspring is tremendous. The vines are beyond vigorous in trying to take over the world. They will easily get to 10 times the size of any other tomato plant you have ever seen. Fusion |
- Posted by brazosvalleygardener TX Zone 8 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jan 7, 08 at 10:00
Fusion, When you have grafted some of your favorite varieties on to Maxifort rootstock, have you ever noticed any difference at all in the flavor of the fruit or is the flavor true to the type of variety that was grafted to the rootstock? Jay |
Yes, I certainly want to try some maxifort seeds. What would you like in trade? I have many varieties of tomatoes. Tabbie |
- Posted by elskunkito (My Page) on Mon, Jan 7, 08 at 11:56
I don't need anything in trade. email instructions to firstname.lastname@example.com include MAXIFORT in the subject so i can see it over the spam. |
- Posted by elskunkito (My Page) on Tue, Jan 8, 08 at 3:26
These maxiforts don't smell the same as other tomato plants. very odd. More pungent. It reminds me of the smells found in the bathroom of a Led Zeppelin concert. I can continue to be blown away by the vigor. Its unreal. Tiny Tim + Maxifort franken-mater is still alive and well, but not yet 100% healed, so I made another "Thing that should not be" today. Tomorrow I do something more reasonable, melding a maxifort with a betterboy hybrid. |
Hi All, I let a maxifort grow in my garden a couple of years ago before I realized it was a hybrid. Vigorous, stinky plants. Did not even want to try the toms. My grafted Marianna's Peace were very healthy, tasted great. I plan on more grafted plants this year to overcome the (confirmed) Fusarium wilt in my soil. Beth |
- Posted by elskunkito (My Page) on Sat, Feb 16, 08 at 1:35
@geol Can you give more detail on the taste of the maxifort? |
elskunkito, I didn't bother to taste the Maxifort fruit. The one F1 I grew out was just to get some seed to experiment with, and the trusses I picked were fermented for that. The rest , just the root stock was used. I grew some sprouts from the saved F2 seed, just to test, and got 100% germination. All were healthy and strong, just not as rampant as the F1. I didn't grow any F2 to maturity, but couldn't see any segregation in any of my sprouts. I still have F2 seed if anyone has an interest. When doing the grafts, I kept re-rooting the discard Maxifort tops, and using them to practice making additional graftings. The rootings seemed to be equal to the rootstock that came from original seed in every regard. They root very vigorously , and were a simple source of additional material. Hope your trials are going well. I know that others share my intrest, please keep us posted, George |
A search turned up this thread as what seems to be Fusarium has ravaged my Marianna's Peace, Bloody Butcher, and Japanese Black Treuffle. My Sun Gold Hybrid, Black Cherry, and Sioux seem to be unaffected. Please correct me if I don't understand things right - I would sow the Maxifort seed and grow it out for a while, at the same time growing out a vulnerable variety. Eventually, I would snip the Maxifort plant beyond the 1st true leaves. I would then make a V-notch above those first true leaves and graft a scion of the vulnerable variety onto it there...right...?? Is there a preferred vendor for Maxifort seed? Is this a reasonable course of action for a person who just wants decent tomatoes grown in the ground? My hydroponic plants never have any of these issues so I'm not experienced at dealing with them. |
Shelbyguy, I was hoping someone with a lot more experience than I have would respond to your question but I can at least say yes, you've correctly described it. My understanding is the original rational to graft tomatoes was to work around common diseases by using resistant rootstock but some experienced increased production and that's what caught my attention. I purchased Maxifort seeds this winter from Paramount Seeds. The seeds are quite expensive (minimum purchase is 250 seeds) and are getting even more so (see email copied below) but being "pre-season" I somehow was able to justify the expenditure. My motivation was pretty much limited to try and get better production from Prue, my absolute favorite (taste wise) tomato. I normally do not have serious disease problems and Prue doesn't seem to be any more susceptible than anything else I've grown but it sure is stingy for me. I attempted ten grafts. Be advised the closest thing to grafting I'd done prior to this was hitting the graph button in EXCEL. I was only successful with four grafts and lost three of those (including Prue!) within the first week of planting to 55mph+ wind gusts. The sole survivor is Anna Maria's Heart. The grafted AMH is more than twice as big as an un-grafted one and I counted 33 greenies on it compared to 9 on the un-grafted one. I've not grown AMH before so I don't have any idea what production is normally but 9 fruit is very similar to my experience with Prue. I'm not seeing any kind of disease on either plant. Will I attempt more grafts next year? Absolutely!! I'm sold (and already have the seeds!) but with only a single grafted plant I would be hard pressed to suggest anyone put out the cash to try it. On the other hand Sungold seems to be pretty much impervious to disease and you might attempt using it as rootstock instead of Maxifort. It even has a distinctive smell very much like Maxifort. Dear Growers, The US $ is weak and the breeding companies have most of their expenses in euros. The price increase averages 6-7% but some varieties have a larger increase and some lower. For example - Current Price of Trust Tomato is $305.00 per 1000 seeds. New price $ 347.00/1000 seeds. For total orders of 5,000 seeds or more, current price Trust is $290.00/1000 seeds. New price $330.00/1000 seeds Geronimo has an increase from $351/1000 seeds to $376/1000 seeds (for 5,000 or more price increases from $333/1000 to $358/1000) If you would like to pre-order your future requirements and take delivery by the end of July, we can purchase the seed at current pricing. We hope you can take advantage of this opportunity to delay the effects of these price increases. Regards Richard Blakey |

my grafted plants are definitely bigger than their non grafted counterparts. for fun I planted a straight maxifort plant, ungrafted. It's the most vigorous plant I have ever seen. 2 parts kudzu, 1 part 'mater. lotsa blooms too. I hope they taste good... |
- Posted by mickyfinn6777 UK (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jul 9, 08 at 1:27
You might find that the new Japanese-I think ?, (He-Man ) rootstock seeds are more suitable than maxifort, as in trials it gave a much higher rating and protection against various diseases and is just as vigorus as maxifort, it is also a hybrid but has slightly more normal tomatoes on it when grown out, It is widely available accross Europe and the far east, especialy in Greece where it is used almost exclusivly against some soil born problem in Greece where commercial tomatoes are grown under polythene covered tunnels. The seeds are expensive to buy, but very good. Although I must admit that I have not seen any USA seed suppliers stocking it at the moment. |

Ohio House Bill 487 recently established new requirements for earning a high school diploma in Ohio. Thank you for your patience as we waited for the new graduation law to come out of the Ohio General Assembly.
The Ohio Graduation Tests for social studies for 2014-2015 and beyond will be dually aligned with the focus on American History and Modern World History. However, in order to maintain the test requirements (blueprints) of the social studies OGT, there will be a few questions from the following 2002 benchmarks (that are also aligned to Ohio's New Learning Standards): People in Societies A-C; Geography A-C; Economics A-B; Government A-B; Citizens Rights & Responsibilities A-B.
On June 4, the Ohio General Assembly passed the Mid-Biennium Review, which contains a variety of key education measures. This analysis, prepared by the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, includes summaries of the provisions that will become law when signed by Gov. Kasich. The column "As Reported by Conference Committee" represents the version that was passed by the General Assembly June 4.

Holy Water and Vodka.xviiBy the time he pulled onto Steely Avenue with Gregory Neustadters Mercedes a little over an hour later, Allegrons right arm had begun to shake steadily. Throughout the drive hed kept thinking At least its an automatic but it was safe to say it was the most physical exertion hed placed on the arm in awhile not to mention the blood loss. There was a strange colour loss in his hand that he decided hed refuse to take notice to. A trickle of sweat ran down his neck and back.Glancing wearily in the rear-view mirror for any pursuers, Allegron slid the car to a stop along the side of the road, two blocks away from his brothers house. He reached over himself to slide the gear shift with his left hand because there was literally no more he could do with his right. When everything inside the cars engine died and all fell silent, he heaved a sigh of relief. For a moment he just sat there, staring not through the windshield, but di
SCDR.Ch I.PremierePremiereAct One; Scene One; Take One.Action.Fade in to a practically deserted rural highway in plain centre of the Albertan countryside where shrubs and ghosts of trees dot the scenery here and there and the main vegetation is made up of long grasses and reeds. Pan across the farmers field, across where in daytime, cows and bulls and horses roam and ruminate, past where they defecate and make crude animal love in mating season, past that. Pan over the barbed wire fence that catches and gouges whatever it makes contact with, past the fallen leaves gathering in small heaps in the ditches, past that, past that. Pan over to the abused neck of concrete, the road which makes our scene, stay, by the cracks, by the rocks. Stop.Pan up, pan up, slowly, slowly to the moon in the sky which is just days away from being full, to the sky that is darker than darkness itself, to the stars that there make their home.

Holy Water and Vodka. ii"You know, the decreasing literacy rate in Americans these days is not particularly inspiring."He stops, frozen for a moment but not really, and turns back around. His black eyes reflect nothing. "The fuck are you talking about, amigo?" he says. "Who said anything about... decreasing literacy?" And he hits the catch on the steel Zippo and watches as it ignites again. I'm just surprised at how smoothly he pronounced 'decreasing literacy'.I say, "Well, I can't think of any other reason why you'd be smoking in here," and kindly directing his attention to the sign on the wall, the universal one with the smouldering cigarette behind a thick red bar with 'Thank You for Not Smoking' written beneath it, I tell him, "Five-hundred-dollar violators' fee, Komerad." As if he doesn't already know.The next exhaled puff of smoke is directed right in my face. The bully.He says, "You're one to fucking care." "Hey," and I'm leaning with my side pressed into the bars, one ar
SCDR.Ch III.The DreamSince my early childhood, I could only vividly recall a handful of dreams. Sometimes Id wake up in the middle of the night tossing and turning with a harsh biting feeling of déjà vu snagging at the back of my mind, but the details of the dream would always trickle away like sand in an hourglass. By the time the sand had entirely sifted to the bottom cone, I would have already fallen asleep again, and by morning, would remember nothing at all. Occasionally something in the real world would provide a trigger powerful enough to turn the hourglass on a slight angle, but the whole thing would scarcely ever come back. However, it would not be an honest statement to say, I do not dream, because from an early age, you learn almost everything there is to know about dreams, with or without the technicalities. REM stages, how many dreams on average people have per night, when they dream most frequently, the power of brain waves why? Because children are most dra
Preview - ILWT Ch1The Fall (Part I)The Seventh Commandment (i) Let me lay it down this way, otherwise you might not understand and if I need anything right now, that is what I need. Of course you probably wont anyway. Understand, that is. I hardly do myself. But Ill try my best to tell it the way it needs to be told, before things get any more stupid. Its like this:Our relationship, I think, was founded mainly on the fact that neither of us really had anything to believe in. It wasnt that we were special somehow, any more or less human than anyone else far from it. There were plenty of others congregated here and there, others who were also undeniably incomplete as I liked to call it, but then, they werent really the same. Many of them found their own remedies eventually. You name it. Sex, drugs, God. But as time went by, it became clear to me that Chris and I could only fool ourselves into believing that we had one of those three.It was a pe
Jesus Don't Want Me For a SunbeamIt's a complex block puzzle designed in the early 1970s by a German professor with umlauts in both his first and last names and it sits in pieces on the worn mahogany table, staring up at the three of them, beckoning, waiting to be completed."I don't care, I'm not doing it," Jason insists, already feeling foolish, like a small child. "I don't like puzzles.""Honey, it's just a little test," his mother says."An exercise," the doctor agrees."You should like it. It's like a science experiment. It's to determine your percept uh. Perception ""Perceptual reasoning abilities.""Is there a wrong answer?" "Well," the doctor shrugs, "there's only one way the pieces all fit together.""Then it's not like science.

"Not really.""Can't you at least give it a try?""There are always discrepancies in real life. Temperature, and pressur
To War Against the Dialogue Tags!I am waging a war. Consider this your invitation to join my army.What is this war about, you ask? It's about destroying dialogue tags. What are dialogue tags, you ask? They are the parts that explain who's talking, like "he said" and "she asked". Why am I doing this, you ask? It's not that they kicked my puppy (I don't even have one, despite the opposition's claim). It's not that they burned my toast. It's not even that they opened my favorite book too far and creased the spine. Here. Let me explain why you're going to be fighting the good fight.Dialogue tags have a use. It's a very useful use, even. They prevent confusion about who generated what dialogue. So why am I up in arms about them? Simple. They take up space and often are unnecessary.There will come a time in your career, if you pursue your writing, when you will have to pay close attention to word count. Dialogue tags are used so often that they eat into your precious word total something fierce. So what can be done? Read
The Chronology of StorytellingImagine you're reading to a live audience. It can be as big or small as you'd like. It can be your writing or someone else's. It doesn't matter. Indulge yourself in the fantasy. So you're reading to a live audience. They're enraptured. They're engrossed. They're generating a movie in their heads as you weave your tale. Imagine how important every word you produce is to these movies. Every detail you provide adds another layer. They smell the flowers. They feel the roughness of the brick. They see the vivid colors of the clothes.And then you require they perform time travel to make the movies accurate.Wait. What?The chronology, or order of events, in a story is something I've been focusing on a lot in my writing lately. I'm not just talking about the overall chronology. There's obviously a beginning, middle, and end to a story. You progress from one event to the next. Things happen in chronological order. That's how, y'know, stories make sense. That's also
The Necessity of Flaws in CharacterizationOkay. Close your eyes (well, maybe just one) and imagine your favorite fictional character. Are they strong? Compassionate and giving? Witty and clever? Wise and intelligent? No matter the make-up of their awesomeness, they probably bring a smile to your face and that warm, fuzzy feeling to your insides. You probably remember vividly their adventures and hijinks, their clever retorts, or how amazing they were at figuring out some wild and crazy puzzle. They probably inspired your own writing. You probably wanted to recreate that smile and fuzzy feeling with your own readers, so you made your version of the character (or took some of their traits) and integrated them into your prose.This is all fine and dandy, especially considering there's nothing new under the sun, but there's a good chance you missed out on something really important. Let me explain.It's great to have a badass character who kicks ass and takes name. But what makes them so badass? Is it that they can lift a Hummer w
Editing your writingSo, there are a lot of tutorials for writing; tutorials for character's names, personalities, storylines, and everything else under the sun. Don't get me wrong, some of those tutorials are pure gold. But, and keep in mind I'm no avid tutorial-reader and I haven't read all of them, I have yet to find one about editing. And it's about as important as the actual writing, because what's the writing if you can't read it? So, here I am, making one. If you've already read this far into the introduction, do me and you a favour, and read the rest of it, you might find some of it useful and I won't just be talking in a void. Please?View of an EditorSo! You have your piece you're going to edit, haven't you? What's the first step, before you start editing? You have to get in the right frame of mind. Repeat after me! My writing is not perfect. Yeah, that's right. It's not. It won't be even after editing it. Writing can be wonderful, amazing, beautiful, emotional, and brilliant, yes,
Proofreading Tips #2 Semicolon Conjunctive Adverbs...Wow, that's a mouthful! These suckers are used to attach two independent clauses as one single sentence. Many people have confusion about when to use commas, semicolons, and colons. Semicolon conjunctive adverbs are helpful to emphasize the relationship between two thoughts (as opposed to separate sentences). Here is a list of words commonly used for this:ConsequentlyFurthermoreHoweverThereforeThenThusAdditionallySimilarlySubsequentlySome examples in sentences include:"She arrived to school late; consequently, the teacher did not accept her homework.""Man could not overcome the demon army; thus, the age of darkness was born.""He forgot his lunch; additionally, he had no umbrella for the rain."Note that these are different from conjunction words such as "and," "but," and "or." These attach two independent clauses with a comma.
Planning the Evil PlotA half-guide, half-narrative on writing a storybrought to you by Super EditorBasicsBefore I start writing, I like to have some idea of where I'm starting, where I'm going, and how I'm going to end up there. Let's say that I want to write a comedy about an author who suddenly changes places with her Mary Sue. I usually jot down some basic ideas:Characters:Sarah, the author: ~13 years old, average-looking, glasses, rather tall and ganglyEllemere, the Mary Sue: ~16 years old, long flowing hair, violet eyes, etc.Forrest (Ellemere's love interest) : ~18, stereotypical pretty boy who is too dark and broody to make a good love interestLeon: ~17, Ellemere's somewhat dorky friend who falls in love with her but is cast off to side in favor of ForrestTangent: For those of you who are confused, the ~ symbol means "about." I think it comes from math.I like to draw, so I'd probably make doodles of these characters too. Drawing characters is a great way to develop th
Interactive #1: Both Sides of the EquationIntroductionHere we go. Welcome to a new idea of mine called an "interactive." Recently, I've been spending a lot of time learning about literature. I've learned a bunch of new things, but I found that I was learning the most when I had other people to talk with and exchange ideas. Now I already spend a lot of time talking with my lovely commenters, but my tutorials are focused on advice, what to do and what not to do. I wanted to know: How could I integrate discussion into a writing aid?As I stroked my magnificent, imaginary beard, an idea occurred to me. What if I wrote a writing aid whose main purpose was to have big, group discussion with one another rather than just read what I have to say? That's what this is. What I'm going to do is bring up a topic and a general exercise or question for writers to think about. At the end, I'm going to get specific and have mini-assi
GMC - SIMPLIFIED"I am I Need I Desire "Goal, Motivation & Conflict - SIMPLIFIEDGoal, Motivation and Conflict seems to be the BIG MYSTERY of fiction writing. Everyone says that they're essential to good writing and they're right, they are. Absolutely. But this stuff can be a little confusing.Let's begin at the beginning -- What are all these things and why do stories need them?Goal is what your character THINKS they are after.Motivation is what makes them WANT to go after it.Conflict is what Gets In Their Way.-- Internal Conflict being ANGST or Drama.-- External Conflict being the PLOT or Events.The Plot (Events) Arc is the stuff that happens to the characters the plotline.

PE Prose Basics: Varying SentencesVarying Your SentencesWhen I was in college, I took an early morning Anthropology class. I had to wake up at five to catch the bus. Ugh. Yeah, I'm not a morning person. But I did it. The first day, our instructor stood before us and starting reading from the textbook. Word for word. Completely monotone. I was asleep within ten minutes. The rest of the week was the same; arrive, begin listening to the instructor, pass out. I had to drop the class and get whatever refund I could, while I could. It was my worse class experience there.Most people know that in public speaking, the person talking needs to vary their tone and speech patterns and such to hold their audience's attention. They need to have a rhythm. Otherwise, they'll end up putting the audience to sleep. The same applies to writing. If you use the same sentence length or structure continually, you'll be the literary equivalent of my instructor. Repea
I'm Suing You: Why Do We Make Mary Sues?First of all, I freely admit that what I say isn't gospel. I am a total amateur at art and writing. I've learned everything that I know via the internet and a few drawing books. It's just that I appreciate all of the tutorials here on dA that have helped me out, and I want to put a little bit of my own methods back in.Let me get this out of the way: I only write tutorials if I feel that I have something to add to the topic or if I feel like it's one that few people touch on. So then why on Earth am I writing about Mary Sues? Everyone's written about them! And it's true; this topic has been well-explored in countless places that it seems pointless to go over it again. Heck, you can find one of my favorite Sue-torials here (WARNING: THESE THINGS ARE HILARIOUS). I'm not even going to tell you what a
Writing Lesson: Your Character's Parents While I am not a professional by any means, I have been writing for many years and, more recently, beta-reading as well. In all of my experience, I've noticed that a lot of to-be authors follow the easy trends and miss out on some great story telling opportunities. Hopefully this guide will help you improve your story and learn that the easy way out isn't always the best! If you would like more writing guides and tutorials, check out the description below. For this "Quick Tips" entry, I'm going to focus on an important part of back story: parents. *Please note! I understand that, unfortunately, not everyone reading this has parents. If your parents have passed away or are otherwise absent, please forgive anything written here that might be considered upsetting. These scenarios are for fictional parents only and when I say "dead", I do not mean it to sound nearly as insensitive as it
How To get PublishedOr be Satisfied when You Aren'tA Beginner's GuidePoetry publication is awash with literary magazines, internet journals, print-on-demand presses, vanity presses, indie presses, and major publication houses. So many options! It's a lot to navigate. But before we delve into the 'How-To's,' it's important to understand the 'Why.'I'm talking about the the Big Why, the biggest WHY after 'Why write poetry?' Which is, of course, 'Why are you publishing your poetry?'"BECAUSE!" I hear you shouting. But that's not the best answer. You'll be happier, or at least more content with the results of the following advice if you understand your motivations behind the urge to publish. What specifically do you hope to achieve?How to Succeed in Poetry Without Really TryingIf, for example, you want your poems out in the world, in a place people might read them; if you want to be able to say that you're a published poet; if you're not feeling great a
Punctuating DialogueFor non-native English speakers and young readers: If you hover over a blue word, you'll see its definition.Punctuating dialogue can be surprisingly difficult, even for people whose first language is English. It's one of the things that you see all the time in books, but you pay little attention to, and all your English teachers assume that you already know it. Sure, if you read a lot, you pick up the basics, but even then it can be difficult to unconsciously absorb all the rules. (Until 2012, I was making heinous mistakes with commas vs. periods. I'm still weeding out errors from my novel.)Anyhow, for the sake of my fellow spirits who bemoan the lack of proper dialogue education, I've researched the subject and compiled this little guide. I hope that it answers your questions, and that it isn't too dull.Note: I use American English. Other English-speaking countries may have slightly different rules.Anatomy of DialogueI'm going to be using these term
Creating a balanced characterWhat is a well balanced character?A well balanced charater is one you would believe is really existing. Creating a character like this may seem not easy at all and sometimes even impossible but it is all about relating information about your character, a bit knowledge of human nature and psychology with each other.If you manage to master this combination, you will be able to create characters that can come to life on their own.Sounds good but pretty complex, right? Let me show you.First of all: A character should always be the result of many factors being combined as I mentioned above.-> Never say the creation progress is done when you miss out e.g. on important events in their backstory or did not mention their family/parents!You can start out with different aspects and then build up the remaining parts very often but to keep some structure let's start with your characters backstory.What happens to you in your life forms your personality and character.Ever seen one of thos
How to write a book - a wannabe guideProlog The IntroductionHello!For all out there who stumbled about this Tutorial without knowing me, let me introduce myself quickly. I am 27 years old and in the process of writing a book. The process of doing so led me to several stages of planning. Questions about how I should write, which rules I should follow and which things should be avoided at all costs. I'm not a perfect writer, I never officially published anything (posting FanFictions on the Internet is no official publishing for me). So all I can and want to share, are my experiences so far. Keep this in mind, since this is far away to be an official guide on how to write your book! I only want to help out those who might be in a similar situation as I am right now.Also, I'm from Germany. English isn't my natural language, so please excuse mistakes or errors I might do. (And before you ask: Of course I write my book in german )In this Guide, or Tutorial, or Assistance, however you want to call it,
Run the Gamut: A Way to Flesh Out Your Character First of all, I freely admit that what I say isn't gospel. I am a total amateur at art and writing. I've learned everything that I know via the internet and a few drawing books. It's just that I appreciate all of the tutorials here on dA that have helped me out, and I want to put a little bit of my own methods back in. Is your character feeling a little bit stilted? Do you want to find a way to flesh him out a bit so that he'll be more three-dimensional? Well, here's an activity to get you started on the right path.I call this activity Running the Gamut . Everyone feels the same feelings. Everyone feels happy, sad, angry, afraid, in love, etc. This activity is a little bit like those character info sheets that you may have filled out, but this is different.

ArabStreets | |
Creator(s) | Jason Blum |
Game(s) | |
Scenario | Hostage rescue |
First appearance | BETA 7.0 |
Last appearance | Counter-Strike 1.0 |
ArabStreets[1] (cs_arabstreets) was an official hostage rescue map featured in the Counter-Strike beta and it made its last appearance in Counter-Strike 1.0.
Similar to Iraq, the Counter-Terrorists must rescue several U.N. weapons inspectors who were examining a chemical factory or completely eliminate the enemy while the Terrorists must prevent the Counter-Terrorists from escorting the hostages to the hostage rescue zone.
This map was slightly similar to Assault, since ArabStreets favored the Terrorist team. The Terrorists could easily camp nearby the hostages or find suitable sniping spots in the upper floors of the apartments. However, the Counter-Terrorists can quickly swarm through the pathways of the map and overwhelm any opponent. As a result, the terrorists will hide in the hostage rescue zone (where the CT spawn zone is also found) and ambush the CTs.
Official DescriptionEdit
Several U.N. weapons inspectors have vanished while inspecting a suspected chemical weapons factory in Iraq. They are assumed to be dead or captive.
Counter-Terrorists: Locate and rescue the U.N. hostages inside the chemical plant and then lead them to the extrication zone!
Terrorists: Prevent the Counter-Terrorists from rescuing the hostages.
The map was designed by Jason "Paramedic911" Blum. He took inspiration from the map Italy and set out to make "an arab version of cs_italy". Originally the scenario involved terrorists hijacking a bus, but this was changed to avoid controversy. During the design process additional inspiration was taken from Assault, Dust and Iraq.[2] All the custom textures were also made by Blum himself.[3] The map made its initial appearance in beta 7.0.
After the release of the map, Blum did some changes to the map. Both routes had changes made to them, with the CT route leading to the apartments having a rock moved and altered to provide additional cover. The other route saw the addition of a hole into the wall with the grate door to facilitate moving into the factory. In the factory itself, the light switch and the security cameras were removed. These changes were made to be included in version 1.1, but as the map was cut from this version the updated version of the map was released separately as cs_arabstreets2.[4]
The map was not included in the retail version of Counter-Strike.
As always with hostage rescue maps, the terrorists will be expecting you and your team to escort the hostages to the rescue zone. Due to this, split your team in half and allow the teams to go through the two pathways in the CT spawn. Both routes contain potential sniper hiding spots so position any team member with a sniper weapon to guard the areas. Note that this map contains narrow passageways that may allow snipers to easily pin down enemies so quickly order your team members to take the higher ground before the enemy does, no matter the situation. The apartments are the best choice while lower areas of the map will offer less protection and advantages.
Unless the CTs keep attacking your team from the outside of the factory, try to stay inside and wait for the enemy to arrive. It is unlikely that the terrorists can reach the apartments first as the CTs spawn closer to that area. Instead, there is a building very close to the garage opening of the factory and allows the terrorists to easily guard the entrance. Furthermore, there are two operating Security Cameras in one of the rooms with the hostages that can help the Terrorists to pinpoint the Counter-Terrorists' movements. If your team is unable to prevent the CTs from successfully entering inside the factory, try to quickly move to the CT spawn zone where the hostage rescue zone is found. This place offers a good advantage for the terrorists as it is the only place where the rescue zone is found and may prevent the CTs from escorting all the hostages. Remember in close quarters, enemies will most likely use a flashbang before breaching in.
- The hostages may struggle in navigating properly through the narrow paths of the map and the inside of the factory.
- The slogan of the factory can be considered to be ironic as it says "Creating safe and hazard free chemicals for over twenty years!"
- There is graffiti on an opening to the apartments that opposes the inspection from the UN.
- Nearby the CT spawn zone is a severed head from a hostage, presumably one of the UN inspectors.
- This is one of the few maps in which using the flashlight (or even the Nightvision goggles) in dark areas of the map will lead to the increase of the user's latency.
- The gate in the factory can be closed and opened by anyone; it can kill someone if a player is caught by it while it is closing.
- The automatic door in the factory may kill players, bots, and hostages, proceed with caution.
- Due to this, this is one of the few instances in which the console will say "(Player) has killed self (with a headshot) from door".
- In the security hangar, if someone (or one of the hostages) creates movement, the lights will automatically turn on within the factory.

Good to know! Stanford University scientists have discovered a single drug that has killed or shrunk every kind of cancer tumor it has been used against — a new anti-cancer weapon that some have described as a kind of medical Holy Grail.
The drug blocks a protein produced in large amounts by cancer cells — called CD47 — that keeps the body's immune system from fighting tumors. By shutting down the CD47 production, the new antibody drug effectively leaves cancer cells vulnerable to the body's own natural defense mechanisms.
Special: This Small Group of Doctors are Quietly Curing Cancer
Tests of the drug found that it destroyed several kinds of human cancer cells transplanted into mice — including breast, ovary, colon, bladder, brain, liver, and prostate tumors — by prompting the rodents' immune systems to kill the cancer cells.
"We showed that even after the tumor had taken hold, the antibody can either cure the tumor or slow its growth and prevent metastasis," said biologist Irving Weissman of the Stanford University School of Medicine, in an interview with Science Magazine.
The research, published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could lead to clinical trials in cancer patients as early as next year, according to a Stanford School of Medicine statement posted on its website.
The new research is an outgrowth of previous studies Weissman conducted that found leukemia cells produce higher levels of CD47 than healthy cells, Science Magazine reported. In recent years, Weissman and colleagues discovered that blocking CD47 with an antibody cured some cases of lymphoma and leukemia in mice by stimulating the immune system to see the cancer cells as invaders.
But the new research goes further, suggesting CD47 isn't just important against leukemias and lymphomas, but attacks every kind of tumor tested to date, Weissman said.
The study was funded, in part, by a $20 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine for human studies.

Bang For Your Buck: 7 Creative $3 Starbucks Concoctions
If you're looking to spend a little less at Starbucks, then there are plenty of cheaper options. We always love opportunities that make the most of our money. But if you want something unique and aren't willing to splurge, then what? Well, you can still be daring and opt for creative options that aren't always advertised on the menu. Here are a few awesome drinks shared with us by a Starbucks barista who wishes to stay anonymous.
Note: Prices are for tall-sized drinks. Prices and selection may differ in different geographic locations.

Oooh, an iced coffee with coconut syrup sounds delicious right now. And much cheaper than a Frappuccino.

If you go to Starbucks even semi-regularly, register a gift card. Once you use it 5 times, you move to green status, which means you get free syrup added and free soy milk upgrade. It also gives: Free refills on brewed or iced coffee or tea during the same store visit, Free tall (12 fl oz) beverage with one pound of whole bean coffee purchase, and Special exclusive offers and coupons. If you earn 30 stars in 1 year , you move to Gold Status where every 15 drinks gets you a free drink postcard. You just need 30 drinks a year to keep your Gold Status. The key is to do individual transactions for drinks to earn a star for each. The registered card brings my Venti Cinnamon Dolce Frappuccino down to about $4 (soy is free and because they don't have a button for a CD Frapp, they ring it in as a Coffee Frappuccino, add CD, which makes the syrup free).

I've been thinking an awful lot about the Paula Radcliffe story—the one where the IAAF, the governing body of track and field and road racing, has decided that Radcliffe's previously accepted world record of 2:15:25 "doesn't count" because she ran it during a mixed marathon rather than a women's only event.
Really? I am not an expert by any stretch on all the rules of running races. But the underlying principle that it's somehow unfair that she was paced by men mystifies me.
It's not like the men carried her, pushed her, or lassoed her with a bungee and towed her to the finish. The woman ran with her own two very fast feet. If she's fast enough to keep up with men pacers, why shouldn't she? And how on Earth does that make her record "not count?" It's her power. It's her speed. It should be her record. If horses were allowed to run marathons and a man could keep up with a horse, I'd say the same about his time. Maybe he ran faster than he knew he could with the help of that equestrian animal, but he still ran the speed.
As cyclists we coax untapped inner MPHs all the time through motor pacing and drafting off of stronger, faster riders. Pacing, of course, is a trickier argument in our sport because of the wind resistance factor. You certainly couldn't have a mile record holder sitting on the wheels of a fleet of faster riders. But what if you positioned a Vespa or fast friend far out front enough that they simply served as a "carrot" without cutting the wind? Would that rider's speed not count if he or she could keep up? I sure think it would.
Whether I'm riding in utter silence down on an empty road or I've got Monster Magnet blaring in my earbuds chasing down a moto hovering 25 feet in front of me, the speed is still my own. I'll likely never sit on the governing body of anything. But I'd love to see what all runners and riders can do if given the chance.

Baking is one of my absolute favorite things to do and I love everything about it. Bread, cake, cookies, pastries…my mood depends on what I bake and how easy or complex my baking adventure is on a given day. Sometimes my baking days are intense because I am developing a recipe or trying a new and complex pastry. Other baking days are therapeutic and help me unwind. These are days for kneading bread dough or baking chocolate chip cookies with music playing in the background.
One of the ways I like to bake most is with a friend. It's fun trying new recipes with someone, each person adding their own twist to the dough or batter. I especially love baking with my friend Meg, because just like me, she loves to bake. Our only difference in baking is how much we like to bake at one time. Meg is what I call a "marathon baker." There are so many recipes and varieties of baked goods to try and she wants to bake as many as humanly possible on our planned baking days. I on the other hand, love taking my time and being methodical when measuring out ingredients like flour and sugar. I'm sure this is probably due to my experience in a test kitchen where everything had to be precise and accurately recorded, but I think age may play a factor too. I have baked more years than my younger friend Meg, which has given me more time to "play" and more experience, but with Meg's love for baking, her experiences may soon exceed mine.
Meg and I had such a day this past weekend. We baked at a slower pace than what is normal when we're together and at first I thought she was slowing down to accommodate me, but I suspect it may have something to do with her five-month-old son, Henry. We baked bread, cake, four different varieties of sweet rolls and two flavors of cookies. Some of what we baked was planned ahead, but some was experimentation, using whatever flavors we could find in her pantry. Not everything was a success, we threw out a whole pound cake, and one version of the sweet rolls, but everything else was deemed worthy of its calories. Meg's favorite was chocolate malt cookies she adapted from a cookie book recipe, but I enjoyed the vanilla version, which is the recipe I'm giving you. Add whatever flavors you want to this base recipe. We baked some plain, some with chocolate chips and some with different flavors of jam in the middle. However you decide to bake them, enjoy your baking day with time set aside for you. Organize your pantry, pull out all your ingredients, put on an apron if you have one, turn on some music and fire up your oven. Enjoy your very own baking day.
Vanilla Malt Cookies
2¾ c. all-purpose flour
¾ c. plain malted milk powder
1 tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. salt
1 c. unsalted butter, room temp.
3 oz. cream cheese, room temp.
1 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, mix first four ingredients. In a large bowl, mix together butter, cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, about two inches apart. Bake about 10 to 13 minutes or until bottom edges are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Hi Stephen, Thank you for your message regarding Ann Banfield, Stoke Damerel. I was not the Roger Banfield that posted a message on the Weeks forum but there is another Roger Banfield who has been posting messages so perhaps it was him that had posted it. With regards to Ann Banfield, the one I'm interested in was born 1818 (parents Francis Banfield b. 1771 (Scilly) and Jane Dangher - no more details) Francis and Jane had a son Thomas b. 24.3.1806, a daughter Ann b. 1808 and another daughter Ursula b. 12.5.1808 All were born at Stoke Damerel. My interest is wether Thomas married ? Ann never did and can be found on the 1881 census living with her brother in law and sister Ursula (Ursula married a Nicholas Gedye. I have another small tree but have not been able to find out much more about them yet. John Banfield b. 1806 (Devonport) married an Ann b. 1801 (Devonport) The details I have show that they had a daughter ELIZA b. 1839, a daughter Elizabeth b. 1842 and a brother James b. 1850. All were born in Devonport. The ref. number I have for this information is 1882/24/43/0221031. If you could shed any more light on Banfields at Stoke Damerel I would be pleased. My link with the Stoke Damerel area is through Francis Banfield b.1771 who came from Scilly. Regards, Roger Banfield |

My yard is full of scampering little lizards - so fun to watch. Ever since they built a house next door, and gave me a 5 ft. concrete block wall. It provides a lot of heat for them and they have really multiplied this year.
I actually think I see a lot fewer sow bugs, ants (but not too many) aphids and earwigs this year. That's fine. But I also saw one chomping on a boysenberry flower that happened to be close to the ground. Even so, that wouldn't be to much concern, but they also scamper in and out of my strawberry bed - Does anyone know their names and/or good/bad habits? Bejay |

There's at least 45 species of lizards native to California. Here's a website that has a very good photo key to identifying many of them. A very few lizards are flower eaters. None are any serious concern to California gardeners. Most lizards are insect (and other such crawlies) eaters. That they eat both bad bugs and good bugs puts them in a non-categorizable position as "good" or "bad". Overall, however, a good populatuon of llizards in a garden is a sign of an environmentally healthy garden. One of the most common garden lizards, by the way, is Sceloperus occidentalis, WESTERN FENCE LIZARD or "BLUEBELLY". Joe |

I think you have a healthy food chain in your little ecosystem. You aren't thinking of getting rid of the lizards are you? It's wonderful to have them, and most are insect eaters, and that's probably helpful. You won't become over run with them because they will be limited by the amount of food available to them. Also, local birds may prey on them too. Lucky you! |
Lizards are good guys, insect eaters as stated above. I agree with Joe that they are more than likely, fence lizards. Alligator lizards are fairly common too, but generally seen less often than the bluebellies. wanda |

My garden also used to be full of them, and at first I thought they were cute. But once my mid-sized dog encountered two of them in the grass, and to my horror the bigger one(maybe it was a male and his mate?)attacked and bit my dog's nose before my dog could even react. There was a good chunk of skin bitten off, and her nose bled so badly I had to take her to the vet. So now, whenever I see baby lizards, I gently carry them out front so they can go somewhere else. The adults I shoo away. And I have fenced off major parts of the garden from my dogs, except for the lawn part. Hated to do that, but it's for their protection. It was a pretty bad and painful bite that itty bitty lizard had. Suzie |
- Posted by dgroworelse (My Page) on Sun, May 13, 07 at 1:43
A lizard biting a dogs nose? Maybe it was an alligator, By all means keep reptiles alive and well in your yard. I Also want to emphasize keeping amphibians such as toads and frogs. Having these critters is a healthy ecosystem, having a dog? |
gardenguru - Nice pics - thank you. They definitely fall in the blue belly/fence types. But have also seen some that looked like alligator types - bottom/middle picture, but more rare. My only other experience with lizares was in our local desert - the desert iguanas - but they were decidely more whitish in color than those in the pictures. They were such fun to watch - as they have territorial fights when they are mating. Have seen as many as 20 to 30 at a time -running back and forth. Their larger size makes them a bit more formidable looking and sometimes a larger one can "throw" a wrestling hold that looks very much like a "fall to the mat" with the poor hapless fellow lying on his back on the ground - windless. So funny. I did have a bee hive there however, and they would take a stance at the landing board of the hive, and slurp up returning bees, so they too are bug eaters, but also will eat a lot of vegetation when they first come out of hibernation in the spring, when the desert still has sprouting seedlings. I regret that with the area now becoming so popular with dune buggy riders, that these critter sights are not seen very often anymore. Will keep an eye on my little planter boxes - strawberries in particular, and hope the lizards will continue to eat pill bugs - but not strawberry flowers! Thanks for the comments - appreciated. Bejay |
Suzie: Your lizard was likely the Alligator lizard. They are a larger, agressive lizard that tend to stand their ground and they will bite. I got bit by one as a kid and it also drew blood. |
We have plenty of lizards (bluebelly) lizards in our yard and general vicinity, too. In fact, we have a family of American kestrels nesting in the cottonwood tree behind our house, and I watched Mom bring a bluebelly to her chil'en. Everyone was grateful...except the lizard. Brenda |
Love the lizards! I agree that your ecosystem must be pretty healthy in order for them to survive. I find them quite entertaining, especially when they run across the hot concrete and in order to regulate their temp, do a series of push-ups. Cracks me up everytime to see them doing push-ups! I must admit my dog will occasionally catch a slow one and eat it, but the lizard has his revenge as once it hits the dog's stomach, it makes him barf! Haha! Most of them are too quick and wiley to get caught, fortunately! The less amphibians and reptiles we have around, the worse our environment is, so encourage them whenever you have some! Elaine |
So push-ups are regulating temperatures - was wondering what that maneuver was all about. No I don't intend to destroy them - just keep a nice balance - although they seem quite numerous this year. We have an indoor cat that is a real "scaredy" so she is not likely to intervene, but several neighbor's cats also visit, and 2 of them will help keep things from getting out of hand. We also live next to a canyon that exits off a natural wildlife habitat, and see hawks, etc. from time to time - also many coyotes below us. Definitely an "ecosystem" but as long as everyone behaves -and doesn't eat too many of my hard-earned fruits and veggies, all will be well with the universe. Just my 2 c's. Bejay |
I must have a very healthy ecosystem in my yard. I have lots of lizards. There is one variety that is rather large and looks like an alligator lizard except that it's maroon. I even had one that took up residence in my kitchen for a while. He's a really pretty fellow. |
The following was interesting: |
Wonderful article! My brother was one of the first people in the U.S. to contract what is now considered Lyme disease, before it even had a name, back in the '70s. He has since recovered fully, but it's nice to know that such exciting research is still being done on this rare, yet frightening, disease. Brenda |

If you're bigger than the lizard, it is a friend. If the lizard is bigger than you....run! I saw a 10 - 12 inch alligator lizard in my yard the other day. He was resting on some warm flat stones. I went to get my camera. He didn't move. I got a nice picture of him. |

I decided to make a quick dress for instant satisfaction since quite a few of my projects are more technical and require more time. The pattern used for this orange dress was Vogue. The alterations were removing some of the extra ease from the roughing on top bodice, not all was removed because I still wanted to keep some of the original design. The yoke was cut out. I initially wanted to use another color for the yoke but didn't have any other colors in my FABRIC CLOSET that would compliment Black, White and Orange. The side panels was measured based on the L x W of the black and white I had from prior dress. I left the middle panel and back of dress orange.
