I have several small unidentified cacti and need your help with ID so I can research care. The straight photo is the reference photo for the below key. I have them pictured in three rows, with 4 plants per row (front to back). Please refer to the plants as numbered. I have shared below my observations to assist with identification. BACK ROW 1C 2C 3C 1B 2B 3B 1A 2A 3A Observations & thoughts: 1B - I believe this is a Peanut Cactus or Echinopsis Chamaecereus. Is this correct? 1D - I believe this is an Opuntia variety, but am not certain which. The pads branch out on this one. 2B - I believe this also Opuntia Mycrodaisis like 2C but not "forma contorta." Is this correct? Both plants have what I call "puffs of yellow balls with thorns." Layman's terms, of course! 2C - These two came off the mother, which turned to mush, perhaps from the cold winter we had. I believe this plant is Opuntia Mycrodaisis, Forma Contorta. Is this correct? 2D - Wild guess: Cholla? 3A - I actually have several of these in various stages of growth, including one 8" tall. The mature plants grow tons of these pups, each with its own aerial roots. The spines become reddish brown in direct sunlight. 3B - The two round reddish ridged stone-looking cacti have been laying on soil all winter and have not grown ONE root. Yet these pups are not hollow or dead - Any clues? This is a first ever for me!! 3D - I believe this is Lepismium Cruciforme. Is this correct? Thank you so much for your help. |

L L , Not sure of the names of all your cacti but that sure is a nice collection you put together there. Where abouts is zone 6 if I could ask I'm in Sunny California zone 9 where the weather is fabulous everyday well almost everyday. Greg |
Hi, Greg! I'm in New York City. Thank you - These are just some cuttings people have given me, which is why I don't know their names. I love succulents and have about 30 varieties (mostly cacti) - Nothing big because I live in an apartment; just a little of this and a little of that. |

From you 1st pic: Front row, the middle one, Opuntia subulata? 2nd row: Chamaecereus silvestrii, aka Echinopsis chamaecereus, and other names. Opuntia microdasys in the middle, and on the right, Gymnocalycium mihanovichii friedrichii. This last one, you can call G. mih..., or G. fried.... Some people use one name for the pink flowered ones and the other name for the green flowered ones. The color on the body of the plants can vary from dark green to bright red to a combination, which gave rise to another common name, the Plaid Cactus. Don't stake your reputation or bet the farm on any cactus Latin binomial (Echinopsis chamaecereus, for instance). They change with new information, and are accepted or rejected on whims it seems. If you obsess with the "correct" name for your plants, you will become combative, insecure and worried. The plants won't care. Enjoy them, and accept that sometimes plants grown from seed from unknown sources might be hybrids. 3rd row, Opuntia papyracantha. Good luck getting one more than 4 sections tall. 2nd plant, Opuntia microdasys monstrose, then the other form of Gymnocalycium mihanovichii friedrichii. Again, google Gymno with both last names and make your decision. 4th row Opuntia monocantha?, Mammillaria elongata and finally, what you think is Lepsmium is probably Hylocereus, maybe H. undatus. If it is, you should find a new apartment with 20 ft. tall windows and an extra 500 sq. ft. just for this one. Good luck with your new addiction, and like I say, if you get close with a name (the right genus), sometimes that's all you can get. If RoRo or others come by and give different names than I have, accept their names. Close up pics of any un-ID plants would be helpful. My ID skills are wanting. I'll go out and take a few pics. I just got home after a month and noticed my Rhipsalis cruciforme (Lepismium cruciforme) with a ton of bloom, such as they are. The fruits are much more noticible. |
Dzitmoidonc, Thank you so much for taking the time to help with this. Yes, I agree about not getting hung up on names and have noticed that the latin names change and even genus family designations change. I just like to know what I have in order to research their growing habits and growing needs. That last plant is not a Hylocereus...I do have 2 pots of Hylo...very well tamed because I took an unruly plant and hacked it last fall. I like keeping some Hylo around just to see if it does anything interesting and as root stock for my wild mad horticulturist-wanna-be experiments. The Lepismium cruciforme is more delicate with ridged edges, ever-so-slightly spiraling leaves, "hair" at each node, and will eventually bloom. I just received mine in trade 1/2 year ago as a single stem and it grew 2 others during the winter. It's still a baby. I just noticed one root peeping out the bottom and think it's time to get it out of that starter pot into the next size so it can expand its horizons. ** See photo showing Lepismium side by side with Hylocereus. The center of the photo shows Lepismium, the right shows Hylo. Thanks again for your help...Much appreciated. |
Dzitmoidonc, The last one in the 2nd row, which you've identified as Gymnocalycium mihanovichii friedrichii, has not grown ONE single root during the entire winter. I have several "Moon Cactus," but still Googled the plant to see if this brown/red one grows on its own in soil - It does. Why doesn't mine have roots? The color makes it appear to be dead but it's alive and solid, not hollow & dessicated. I really need to understand why it doesn't have any roots...does it require a host, like the colored red/yellow/orange "Moon Cactus" does? Should I lance and graft them onto Hylocereus? I know how to do that...I've successfully grafted many moon cactus pups. I received it together with the greener variety pictured, kept them both in the same pot all winter, treated both the same and the green one has rooted. I just transplanted into separate pots. The spines alone tell me they are two different Gymno varieties. The color has remained consistently the same as when I first received it. The soil looks different, but it is the same succulent mix...I just watered the green one. Since the other has no roots, I only watered scantly. Thanks again. |

OK, so here's the ID we have so far. Please feel free to chime in if something is not correct - Your input is greatly appreciated. BACK ROW 1C: Opuntia papyracantha 2C: Opuntia mycrodaisis (Monstrose or Forma Contorta?) 3C: Gymnocalycium mihanovichii friedrichii 1B: Echinopsis chamaecereus (Peanut Cactus) 2B: Opuntia mycrodaisis 3B: Gymnocalycium mihanovichii friedrichii 1A: Euphorbia? 2A: Opuntia subulata 3A: Echinopsis Barrel Cactus I have posted additional photos above in order to facilitate ID. Thanks again. |

Latinlady, I went to find my camera, found out instead I had left it in a rental car. I'll find out Monday if was turned in to lost and found. In the meantime, I got another one, but I am taking really crappy pics. Bear with me. This is my L. cruciforme. Sort of a smaller plant with very fuzzy aeroles. I've seen the green ones, but most of them also had hair. Maybe some don't. The blooms are all over, but best seen at the top. Small The close-ups were blurry. The plant in front is Am. konjac bloom. This is Rhipsalis (Lepismium) monocantha. The color of the bloom is what the shot is about, this is the color. Some of the neatest Rhipsalis flowers. This is Lepismium paranganiense, I think. For a Rhipsalis, this is a pretty good size for the bloom. This is a Selenicereus innesii. One of the smaller of the genus. |
Beautiful...Thank you for sharing. |

Bit Bit's Info...
I am already neutered, a special needs pet, and up to date with shots.

He is looking for that perfect person who understands his needs, can commit to treating him, and love him forever! He currently in a foster home. Therefore, please call (616-826-0927) or email to set up an appointment to meet him!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bit Bit, a Byron Center Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Byron Center, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Byron Center.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Byron Center already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Byron Center breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Byron Center paves the way for another one to be saved.

Super League: Injury lay-off for Wakefield forward Taulima Tautai
Last Updated: 08/06/13 8:24am
Taulima Tautai, in action here for Parramatta, was injured on his home debut for Wakefield
Wakefield's new forward signing Taulima Tautai faces up to two months on the sidelines with a broken and dislocated thumb.
The 25-year-old prop or back rower, who has joined the Wildcats on an 18-month contract from Parramatta, sustained the injury on his full debut in Sunday's 36-23 home defeat by Wigan.
"He's had an operation and he'll be out for six to eight weeks, which is a bit of a blow for us because he had made a particularly promising start for us," said Wakefield coach Richard Agar.
"He's gone really well in his first two weeks and is proving to be a really popular player."
Agar at least hopes to have Andy Raleigh back to take Tautai's place for Monday's game at Salford after he missed the Wigan defeat through injury of his own.
The Wildcats will definitely be able to call upon second rower Ali Lauitiiti, as well as first-choice half-backs Tim Smith and Paul Sykes.
Smith sat out the Wigan game with a shoulder problem while Sykes has missed the last five matches with a knee injury.

My brother has started the Hallelujah Diet ~ I was wondering if anyone has tried it. I looked it up on the internet, appears to be mostly vegetarian I would say, maybe vegan.
LA Weight Loss - Hallelujah DietView Full Version : Hallelujah Diet EZMONEY 07-20-2007, 07:35 PM My brother has started the Hallelujah Diet ~ I was wondering if anyone has tried it. I looked it up on the internet, appears to be mostly vegetarian I would say, maybe vegan. junebug41 07-21-2007, 09:58 AM I looked it up on Wiki, and they give a food pyramid- basically, raw fruits and vegetables on the bottom, then vegetable and fruit juices (fresh), cooked veggies, baked grains, and essential fats. Save for the honey, it is vegan. I wonder why this is marketed towards the Christian community only? And why the supplements? Except for B12, which can be hard to come by in a vegan diet, they don't seem to serve much purpose. If you were to add some sprouts, it would look exactly like a raw food diet. I don't mean to seem skeptical, Gary, I just wonder what the thought process of the reverend behind it is as it has a "diet" counterpart (the raw diet). I'm all for religion supported diets- I found that incorperating spirituality into my own process was one of the great contributors to my success, so I'm certainly not knocking that aspect :) EZMONEY 07-21-2007, 10:36 AM Thanks Kiddo ~ I am always skeptical ;) One of the reasons I posted this. I was hoping to run across someone that had tried it for an extended period of time and posted their results. I am pretty sure my brother...ok...POSITIVE...he won't stay on it, but I want to support him the best I can. He isn't super heavy...245 for his 6' 2'...but he has that beer belly like me :) Only his isn;t from beer...I would say burgers and Kraft Mac & Cheese! He loves that stuff! His biggest obstacle is his leg. He was hit by a truck, while riding his motorcycle, 33 years ago. His leg came witin minutes and inches of amputation...doctor decided to save it. His ankle is fussed. Over the years this has caused a bad back, hip, knees (which was also shattered) and of course his leg. He is a working fool! does drywall like me...but...he is wearing down and the pain increases each day. He is just looking for some improvement for his body....denial has finally been OVERTHROWN! Thanks Jen ~ I hope that air clears up for you! Have a great week-end, Gary junebug41 07-21-2007, 12:04 PM Well, if he sticks to it I can't see why he wouldn't feel at least a little bit better. That diet at it's base is intended to improve well being- not just weight loss- and it sounds like that's what he's after. Wish him luck! Colleenk 09-18-2008, 07:05 PM I am starting the Hallelujah Diet tomorrow.....I have the book and it sounds so healthy and reading it really gets you encouraged to follow it. Yes, its mostly raw, but for the evening meal, you do eat cooked. But, it is vegetarian...no meat, fish, etc. I have had friends on this and the weight just fell off of them in no time. I weigh 235..my all time highest :o, and I have to get this weight off. I want to lose about 50 lbs. or more. My biggest problem is my huge stomach!! I will let you know how I do on this......if anyone wants to do it with me, that would be great. -Colleen zenor77 09-18-2008, 07:33 PM I've heard of the Hallelujah diet before. I've never tried it, but it doesn't seem dangerous by any means (at least not to me.) It certainly looks healthier then eating burgers and Kraft mac & cheese all the time. I think a lot of us are aware that drastic changes can be hard to stick to, so I wish your brother luck and strength if this is what he wants to do. I think it's great that he's no longer in denial and that he realizes he needs to do something. That's a HUGE step towards a better lifestyle, even if he doesn't stick with this diet. What a great brother you are! I think it's wonderful you are looking out for him. As always, you rock! :D vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

I cut it (left enough room to strip the wire and possibly use it with a switch for future) and then taped it off and it works like a charm.
Just wanted to say thanks!

Metabolix Reports Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results And Provides Business Update
The Company reported net income of $13.1 million or $0.38 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a net loss of $29.2 million or $0.96 per share, for the same period in 2011.
The Company's net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $24.4 million, which represents an increase in cash usage from $23.1 million for the comparable period in 2011. The $1.3 million increase in net cash usage is primarily attributed to the Company's payment of $3.0 million to Telles in March of this year to acquire Telles inventory from the ended joint venture, offset by a decrease of $1.5 million in employee compensation and benefit expenses.
In the third quarter of 2012, Metabolix made progress across each of its business platforms. Key accomplishments included:
Biopolymers- Worked closely with Antibióticos to begin demonstration phase for biopolymer manufacturing. In the third quarter of 2012, Metabolix worked closely with Antibióticos to initiate the demonstration phase of manufacturing. Technology transfer for fermentation and recovery operations is under way, the construction process is ongoing and Metabolix expects that Antibióticos will begin producing demonstration quantities of biopolymer resin in early 2013. The companies intend to complete a contract manufacturing agreement that Metabolix expects will lead to commercial-scale production later in 2013. Metabolix currently anticipates total Antibióticos start-up costs, including facility modifications, to be in the range of $10 million-$13 million.
- Increased quarterly product shipments. Metabolix continues to build a pipeline of customers in anticipation of production in 2013 and showed a marked increase in orders shipped and billed in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the second quarter 2012. During the quarter, Metabolix sold product inventory to existing customers and provided product samples to potential customers for new applications.
- Planned launch for new compostable film product. In the fourth quarter of 2012, Metabolix plans to launch a next generation certified compostable film product, Mvera TM B5008 biopolymer resin for film and bag applications. Metabolix has been sampling the product to customers over the last several weeks.
- Identified new, high value market opportunity in PVC. Metabolix continues to investigate new, high value applications for the Company's technology. At a recent industry conference, Metabolix researchers reported data showing that Mirel biopolymers can provide a step change in impact modification, plasticization and process modification when added to PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, a polymer in widespread commercial use. Initial interest from potential customers has been strong.
- Accelerated partnering discussions with prospective partners for C4 and C3 chemicals. In its second technology platform, Metabolix is developing four-carbon (C4) and three-carbon (C3) chemicals from biobased sources using proprietary, patented fermentation technology and the "FAST" (fast-acting, selective thermolysis) recovery process. During the third quarter, Metabolix accelerated discussions with multiple firms evaluating the potential for an exclusive commercialization relationship for the C4 chemicals business. Partnering discussions are also ongoing in the C3 chemicals business.
- Continued to execute on the DOE grant. Metabolix is making good technical progress in research under a $6 million grant by the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") to produce PHB in switchgrass to co-produce densified biomass for fuel and to produce value-added crotonic acid. The Company expects to continue to pursue opportunities for additional grants and collaborations to fund and advance its crop platform.

A 91-year-old woman from Los Osos was just one of the World War II pilots honored with a Congressional Gold Medal in Washington DC today.
91- year-old Dorothy Rooney of Los Osos and her fellow servicewomen are finally getting the recognition they deserve. . .a congressional gold medal.
"It wasn't something she bragged on or something like that, but she was proud of what she'd done," said Mark Richardson, Rooney's pastor at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Los Osos.
During World War 2, she took to the skies with more than a thousand Women Air Force Service Pilots. WASPS, as they were known, performed duties including testing newly developed aircraft and flying military planes across the country. More than 60 years later, Friends say Rooney's still full of life and a bit daring.
"She's kind of unstoppable. She's just an amazing person with lots of energy and will not say no," Richardson said.
He's been her pastor in Los Osos for the last 10 years.
"Sometimes you don't know, who it is you're sitting next to. You don't know the people in that detail," Richardson said.
But you can be sure on her way home from D.C., she'll be flying high.
Pastor Richardson says he hopes to have Rooney speak to the congregation about her trip when she returns home. Rooney has lived in Los Osos since 1994.
Carol Brinton Selfridge, 92, from Santa Barbara also flew to D.C. for the award.

Relationship Puzzle: What Relationship is Right for Me??
Relationship Puzzle is a real game.
Relationship Puzzle is a real game. We all play it every day, figuring out where we belong in life in relationship to others. When you find a perfect fit, your relationship feels great and you reflect this perfection in your looks. When you are trying to squeeze yourself into a relationship, a carrier, or an environment that are not yours, you feel exhausted and depleted and your life puzzle looses some bright colors.
Do you feel confident in your relationship?
Do you do anything out of fear of being abandoned (even for a few moment when your partner disconnects from you) or being punished (even by not receiving his/her token of love?
Do you feel obliged to do something for your partner or do it because you are happy to share and experiment?
Do you honor your feelings and use them as information, without judging yourself or blaming others for these feelings?
Do you make choices that feel right to you or choose the next step because it sounds right?
Being aware of your priorities within five important components of your relationship that you want to experience (I call them The Big Five: who, what, how, when and where) and honoring your answers to these questions can make you conscious about your contribution to the joy or frictions within some of your interactions. When you simply know what you want, it is easier to notice what matches to your desires and what falls out from your puzzle palette.
Here is a story of my client, young women who wanted to stay in her marriage for the sake of her children, even though she felt completely estranged from the man she married some time ago. As she explored her Big Five, she was empowered by listening to her inner guidance that helped her to create inner harmony and balance, that helped her making conscious decisions instead of experiencing emotional over-reaction and taking reactive actions in relation to others.
"Dear Lana,
There are many new developments in my life that I wanted to share with you. For several days after our conversation I was feeling much better, however, I realized that I needed to say what I had to say to my husband for a long time. I wanted to talk with you about it first, and after our session I understood that I was ready. I couldn't hold it anymore.
I know that I don't love him anymore, and frankly, I don't think I ever did. I have grown to like him over the years, but I'm not in love with him and all his nagging, his negativity and his insecurities have been too much for me to handle. I told him straight out what I felt and he was of course shocked. I told him that I deeply care about him and I would be willing to go to your sessions with him or seek professional help of a marriage counselor if he was feeling it would serve him better. I'm still hopeful that we'll be able to stay connected in a positive manner for the sake of the kids, although I understand that he will not be willing to stay together because he doesn't believe in marriage without love.

Advocates charge overpolicing in NYC schools
NEW YORK — Numbers released by the New York Police Department show that about five public school students were arrested every school day during the last three months of 2011.
Civil liberties groups say the 279 student arrests from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31 were excessive. Summonses were issued to another 532 students, largely for disorderly conduct.
New York Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Donna Lieberman said Wednesday that too many schoolchildren are being treated as criminals. She says many of the infractions should have been handled by the school principals.
The City Council passed a law requiring the NYPD to release the school arrest statistics every three months. This is the second time the department has released the quarterly statistics. An NYPD spokesman did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Amazon Is Asking the FAA to Bend the Law for Their Drone Program
When Jeff Bezos first announced his evil plan to start a drone delivery program for all the precious goods you order from Amazon, everyone was pretty sure it was either a publicity stunt, an April Fool's joke or evidence that the billionaire had gone off his rocker.
But now, it appears Mr. Bezos and his ilk might actually be serious about getting the drone delivery program up and running. They're at least serious enough to be taking time out of their busy schedule of possible-sex-toy-construction to ask the Federal Aviation Administration to bend the rules so that they can test drones on their own terms.

Transfer Students
The School of Public and Environmental Affairs is as excited to welcome transfer students as we are students who begin their academic careers at IU. Our unique programs and the diverse opportunities available on campus draw many students who begin at one school and choose Bloomington for the next chapter in their college career.
- Admission to IU
All transfer student, whether students from other universities and colleges or students from other campuses of IU, must begin the transfer process by being admitted to IU Bloomington. - Credit Transfer Report
After beginning the admission process, transfer students are usually anxious to know how the coursework they have already taken transfers to IU Bloomington and SPEA specifically. Students transferring from another institution will receive a credit transfer report upon admission to IU Bloomington. This report lists all courses that transfer and the IU equivalent to those courses. If you want to know what courses transfer before you get your official credit transfer report use Bloomington's Credit Transfer Service. - SPEA-specific course evaluation
Next, transfer students want to know how the courses that transferred to IU apply to their potential SPEA degree. After a student is officially admitted to IU Bloomington, SPEA can provide a complete picture of how all your transfer courses apply to a SPEA degree and what course still need to be completed. Contact us to make an appointment to create and discuss this academic plan. You may make an appointment to speak in person or by phone by calling 812-855-0635. - Admission to SPEA
Once you are admitted to IU Bloomington, you will need to apply for admission into SPEA. It is rare for students to transfer directly into SPEA from another institution. However, that is not a problem--you will be able to take SPEA courses your first semester at IU Bloomington, and SPEA advisors will be available to help you plan your coursework and application. Most transfer students can apply to SPEA during their first semester on campus, following the same procedures as any other continuing IUB student.
You have at least two semesters after transferring to IU to apply to SPEA. Most students have even longer. What is important is that you begin to speak with a SPEA advisor about your transfer and your application to SPEA. Contact us to begin that discussion.

Hey Annie-- Issue #11
Submitted by Annie Ory on Wed, 12/01/2010 - 00:28
She's Lost That Lovin' Feelin'...
Advice Question:
Hey Annie:
I've been dating my girlfriend for 6 months. I'm 39 and married, she's 26 and single/poly. Yes, it's a big age difference. All was well and we were talking about her moving in with me and my wife. They get along great. Then she says she needs to "feel more emotion" on her end and is super busy so we should "lose the girlfriend label" because she doesn't have time for a relationship. I wrote her note pouring out my heart - I'm in love with her. We agreed to take a break for a month. She says she has hope for us and does love me. We've seen each other several times since, often at her request, but she barely hugs and pretty much won't kiss or touch me - acts distant and emotionless. But we talk on phone/text several times a day. She days she's sorry she's not physical and thinks it's because she's tired. I take all of this at face value and tell her I love her and respect that she needs time to work through things and am here for her. Am super confused on how to be...any thoughts? How do we get back to the way things were?
Where Is The Love....?
Hey Where:
It's gone. The love is gone. I'm sorry. This girl isn't in love with you.
The only possible way of getting back where you were, is to actually take that break - though I don't have high hopes. You say you agreed to take a break and then you admit you talk on the phone and text multiple times a day and that you've seen each other several times. Ummm - that's not a break. The only thing you seem to have taken a break from is sex - possibly sleeping over. A break means having some time, days at a time, maybe weeks, when you don't see each other, talk to each other, text or email either. If you actually take a break you might find that this girl begins to see what she's missing, but I doubt it. I think she got scared and bolted. Things were moving pretty fast.
The age thing, whatever. Lots of young people I know are more mature and more responsible with their relationships than lots of older people I know. This doesn't seem to be the case with your girlfriend. Your description of her recent behavior is classic. She doesn't know how to break up with you. That could be partially your fault, though in the end she's responsible for officially ending a relationship she's no longer invested in. What could make it your fault in part is neediness, clinging, refusal to accept the fact that her feelings have changed. I'm not making excuses for her, but if she's immature and you push back against what she's trying to tell you she'll back off - but she isn't in love with you anymore, now she's just stuck in a relationship with a desperate, clingy guy.
This isn't good for either of you. Be the grownup. Tell her you know she isn't in love with you. It's OK to tell her you still love her. It's OK to tell her you're still available for relationship with her if she finds the love again. You need to accept that this relationship is not what you thought it was. I'll leave you with a question: How long does it take to get know someone well enough to give them your heart, move them into your home, allow them inside your family? I don't know the answer by the way, but it's a good question....

text: 1School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard Univ., Cambridge, MA 02138, USA 2Aerodyne Research, Inc., Billerica, MA 08121-3976, USA 3Dept. of Chemistry, Amherst College, Amherst MA 01002, USA 4Dept. of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Harvard Univ., Cambridge, MA 02138, USA Abstract. The yield of particle mass in secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed by dark ozonolysis was measured for 0.3–22.8 ppbv of reacted α-pinene. Most experiments were conducted using a continuous-flow chamber, allowing nearly constant SOA concentration and chemical composition for several days. For comparison, some experiments were also conducted in batch mode. Reaction conditions were 25°C, 40% RH, dry (NH4)SO4 seed particles, and excess 1-butanol. The organic particle loading was independently measured by an aerosol mass spectrometer and a scanning mobility particle sizer, and the two measurements agreed well. The observations showed that SOA formation occurred for even the lowest reacted α-pinene concentration of 0.3 ppbv. The particle mass yield was 0.09 at 0.15 μg m−3, increasing to 0.27 at 40 μg m−3. Compared to some results reported in the literature, the yields were 80 to 100% larger for loadings above 2 μg m−3. At lower loadings, the yields had an offset of approximately +0.07 from those reported in the literature. To as low as 0.15 μm−3, the yield curve had no inflection point toward null yield, implying the formation of one or several products having vapor pressures below this value. These observations of increased yields, especially for low loadings, are potentially important for accurate prediction by chemical transport models of organic particle concentrations in the ambient atmosphere.

Hoping for some feedback - CSS positioning issue?
I've inherited this monster http://is.gd/52JNB and was wondering if someone can tell me why in IE8 only there is a huge 200px gap between the header and the content?
My tools are leading me towards the direction of the header causing the issue. I've tried removing divs and id's and am still scratching my head...
edit - not sure of any tools in IE8 that can be of help?

I don't have IE8 so I can't help much there. I can say that I've heard that the developer's toolbar for IE can be of some assistance (though nothing like Firebug, for instance). On that topic, there is Firebug Lite, which is a javascript version of Firebug that runs on IE. It's not nearly as handy, but it does allow page inspection which might help.
The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid. G.K. Chesterton
See Mediocrity in its Infancy
It's usually a good idea to start out with this at the VERY TOP of your CSS:* {border:0;margin:0;padding:0;}
Seek and you shall find... basically: validate your markup | view your page cross-browser/cross-platform | free web tutorials | free hosting

Detroit, MI United States
The United Way for Southeastern Michigan relocated its Detroit headquarters into the historic 1st National Building in downtown Detroit. In its desire to provide a fresh workplace experience for its 130 employees, SmithGroupJJR worked with UWSEM to create a new home that resulted in the ultimate flexible, creative and collaborative workplace environment. Unlike any other office space in the area, the UWSEM headquarters more closely resembles your local Starbucks than a traditional corporate facility.
Due in part to the high percentage of time that personnel spend outside the office combined with a desire to pursue LEED certification and reduce unneeded material usage, UWSEM concluded that permanently assigned workstations did not need to be provided for all staff. During the programming process, we determined that the original space requirement could be reduced by roughly 25% through the introduction of "hotel" and "touch down" spaces in concert with traditional "embedded" work spaces. Given that a great deal of staff time was spent working in a team setting, the program included a wide array of collaborative work spaces. Given the amount of time spent in these settings, the team concluded that the traditional workstation could be reduced in size by approximately 30%, resulting in further space reductions.
Now complete, the 47,000 gsf headquarters does not contain enclosed offices and establishes a completely new paradigm for the corporate headquarters.

Since there is a Pittsburgh photo above, here is a news article about the local cost of the lockout.
Perhaps this is why Fantasy Hockey leagues never took hold?
I got Tyler Seguin and Patrick Kane on my favorite team (EHC Biel-Bienne), so no complaints from me.
still dont get why teams dont pay their best players with a mixture of cash and equity. make them a 'partner' then buy them out when its time to hang up the cleats.
er, i mean skates. whatever, its football season.
probably make it too big a pain in the butt to trade them.
Slavery being abolished, the right of free workers to strike for higher wages must be recognised as a human right.
In respect of justice, however, it should be conceded that the average NHL player earns rather more than the average hamburger flipper ... On the principle of offer nothing, get nothing, however it is necessary to pay NHL players rather more for their services in order to persuade them to work at all and to try to win to the best of their abilities.
One thing the owners might be persuaded to offer that some players might appreciate is an enhanced right for players to refuse to play if they are injured, even slightly injured.
As a cricket fan, I myself do not like to see players on the field when they are in discomfort. All sports fans with any principle would agree ...
This could be the second lost season in the last few years... I doubt the NHL will be around much longer, and most in the US won't even care when it's gone. Do they even realize that most Americans don't care about hockey? They have 30 teams, which is about 10 to 14 too many.
