Miracles do happen. Only six perished in a massive earthquake in northern Chile following an immense 8.2 earthquake and tsunami. Four of the deaths were attributed to heart attacks and only two were crushed by debris. The reason for this amazingly low fatality county is being credited to adherence on the part of Chile to strict building codes.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "They're a seismically active region of the world and they are very good at implementing their building codes similar to California," John Bellini, a Denver-based geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey says.
"Because of that, you would see less damage than in other places that have poorer building codes . that's probably one of the reasons there haven't been as many casualties as there could have been from a magnitude earthquake of this size."
Come light a candle for those who perished in the Fort Hood tragedy --
There was major structural damage in the quakes, which is seen as a minor trade-off where many lives were spared. More than 2,500 homes sustained serious structural damage in the region around the northern port city of Iquique. Most of the homes were built with poor workmanship through government subsidies.
A 7.6-magnitude aftershock struck the region late Wednesday. There was no immediate word on damage or injuries.
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, who toured the region, praised local authorities for responding in an "exemplary manner" to the disaster.
"This is a great example to all of us that when we work together in an adequate manner and we when we follow the plans that have been established in the region, we work well," Bachelet said.
One of the most earthquake-prone regions in the world, Chile sits on an arc of volcanoes and fault lines circling the Pacific Ocean known as the "Ring of Fire," according to Mark Simons, a geophysicist at Caltech in Pasadena, California. Since 1973, Chile has had more than a dozen quakes of magnitude-7.0 and above.
According to Simons, this week's quake occurred as the fault line along Chile's coast has constantly shifted in the last 140 years. In recent weeks, this area has seen a cluster of activity -- something like 50 to 100 smaller quakes. A 6.7- and a 6.1-magnitude quake struck last month.
"People are more familiar with them," Bellini says. "They, in general, know what to do as part of their daily lives, plus the building codes are fairly well-enforced in Chile. It's in their culture."
The importance of strict building codes was underscored when Port-au-Prince, Haiti, was hit by a magnitude-7.0 earthquake in 2010 that leveled 70 percent of the Haitian capital's structures and killed at least 230,000 people.
"That's actually a perfect example of the differences in building codes and enforcement in two different regions," Bellini said. "Any place that has a magnitude 7 or an 8 is going to have some kind of damage. However, the building codes play a large part in the damage and destruction that is seen, as well as the casualty level. Population density plays an important part as well -- but the building codes are really what can save lives in areas that have large earthquakes."

Graphic by Sgt. Charles E. Humes Jr.
1986, as a whole, was a pretty eventful year. The space shuttle Challenger experienced a cataclysmic systems failure, and exploded shortly after liftoff. The Nuclear Plant in Chernobyl, Russia, experienced a major meltdown, resulting in the deaths of more than 4,000 people. A postal employee experienced a similar meltdown, shooting 20 fellow employees, which coined the phrase, "going postal." Although Tom Cruise was probably the most popular actor that year for his role in Top Gun, Clint Eastwood should've been recognized for introducing one of the best tactical concepts ever conceived in the movie Heartbreak Ridge.
If you haven't seen Heartbreak Ridge, watch it. Eastwood plays the character of USMC Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Highway. Sgt. Highway is assigned to take over as the training sergeant of an antagonistic, undisciplined platoon of Recon Marines. His training methods would be best described as unorthodox, but highly effective, as he turns his rag-tag group into well-trained fighters. During their training, one of the combative concepts he introduces is IAO: improvise, adapt and overcome.
Yes, IAO does come from a movie script. However, there are countless examples of this concept saving lives, and it's a concept you should add to your tactical toolset. Let's look at two examples where unarmed individuals survived, and where others did not, simply by improvising and adapting to the crisis they'd been thrust into.
Feb. 7, 2008: A Small Midwestern Town
A gunman suddenly interrupted a city council meeting by ambushing and killing the sergeant-at-arms police officer. Enraged at the city politicians, he then opened fire on the mayor and council members. Seven people were shot, five were killed. However, the city attorney who attended decided he wasn't going to be a victim. He applied the IAO concept, with a positive outcome.
The attorney adapted to the situation by making himself a moving target. Even at close range, a moving target is much harder to hit. When the gunman cut off his escape route, with both guns pointed directly at him, he improvised. He didn't waste time analyzing the situation or looking for a conventional response. He immediately picked up the closest improvised weapon he had available—a chair—and threw it at the gunman. This pushed both guns' muzzles away from the attorney, who continued to pummel the attacker with two more chairs. These actions not only allowed the attorney to escape unharmed, it also stalled the attacker's momentum and gave responding officers the time to arrive. The responding officers immediately terminated the threat to everyone's satisfaction (except maybe for the now-deceased gunman's).
April 16, 2007: Virginia Tech
We're all familiar with the shootings that took place at Norris Hall. What you may not be familiar with is the fact that, although there were five active classrooms on the second floor, only one of the classrooms had zero casualties that day. Why? Because those students improvised, adapted to the situation at hand and overcame the threat that many others did not.
They jammed a desk up to the door to barricade it and held it there. The gunman tried to force the door open, partially succeeding. The students plowed their weight back into the desk, slamming the door in his face. After firing two shots blindly into the door and realizing he wasn't going to get in, he turned his attention to easier prey. Unfortunately, we all know the final outcome wasn't positive for many, but for those who improvised and adapted on that chilly April morning, it was a bittersweet victory of survival.
Like most concepts, maximizing their effectiveness and potential for success takes work. A little time spent preprogramming responses can pay off in big dividends.
Take a few minutes to look around at the items you encounter throughout the day. Pick out the items that could be used as an improvised weapon, which is just about anything. Think about how you'd grip them and how you would actually utilize them as a weapon.
As I look to my left, I see a lightweight broom that my wife left there. It might not make a good striking weapon, but it might be very effective to put my body weight behind and use it as a jabbing weapon. Could I possibly put the bristles parallel to the ground, slam my foot down on the bristles and snap the handle off, thus giving me a sharp improvised spear? The possibilities are almost limitless. As long as you have objects in your environment, those who see their potential can use them as improvised weapons.
How many of you reading this only fire your guns standing up, in a booth, and are forbidden to even move your feet? Conventional police training like this makes me gag.

Guest post by Alana Lea, Founder of the iGive Trees Project
In 2008 I took my daughter back to the Brazilian rainforest where I was born. But what I didn't know when we arrived, was that it had been slashed and burned during my lifetime away. It's 93% gone now. So with that discovery was born a business: Rainforest ECO Enterprises, created to bring awareness and funding to restore the Brazilian rainforest. The business rapidly evolved to focus upon the iGive Trees project, crowdfunding the reforestation degraded land, by buying trees from small growers, then giving them to a small NGOs who would oversee their planting and maintenance by subsistance farm families.
I discovered a hidden trail of secrets, as I discovered how and why, it had disappeared so rapidly. And, why it still does.
I met an older man (in the picture above), who had helped to cut the…

Since 2010 the iGive Trees project has been crowdfunding the renewal of an endangered rainforest in Brazil. We're thrilled to announce that 32 page, full color book is now available, documenting our story.
Our first gift of trees was delivered to residents of the back country in Cunha, São Paulo, Brazil on Thanksgiving Day, 2010. So as we mark the four year anniversary of the occasion, I wanted to share my feelings of fulfillment from this project with this video preview of the book.
If you'd like to receive a softcover print book (you'll be able to see all the spreads in the video), it's available to donors of $60 to our Tree Care Fund. JUST CLICK ON THE ORANGE DONATE BUTTON TO THE RIGHT. If received before December 11, 2014, books will be shipped anywhere within the US in time for a pre-Christmas delivery. If received after December 11, please add $10 for shipping.
THANK YOU for playing your part in this amazing experience.
At times when the negative news can be so very overwhelming, this is the type of news I need to share. The news that "You can choose today, to make a world of difference."
Thanks to Louie Schwartzberg for propagating beauty and hope with his art. See more on his site United Nations Climate Summit films: WHAT'S POSSIBLE & A WORLD OF SOLUTIONS.
Today I'm excited! We've just launched an online movie house showing environmental, health and wellness related documentaries. Any films you rent through us, will contribute toward the cost of maintaining trees that have already been planted by our project in Brazil. It's a win-win because the information in these films is valuable, while sharing it supports a project that needs to grow!

"In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see."
~ 12 yr old Severn Suzuki at first Rio Earth Summit
I once thought that restoring a rainforest was pretty straightforward. Turns out I was mistaken. It's completely two-faced.
One face is that of a simple country person collecting and planting seeds from the Mother trees of their region. The other face wears a protective chemical mask while planting genetically engineered forests.
If you read my post "A Silent Rainforest is a Dead Rainforest," you know how painfully I discovered this for myself during the last few trips to Brazil. In the post I referenced the heart wrenching documentary "A Silent Forest," that we're having translated to Portuguese. Now a sequel is being made to dive deeper into this shadowy story.
Raindancer Media, Global Justice Ecology Project, Three Americas and Earth Links came together in 2007 to produce "A Silent Forest" in which Canadian Scientist David Suzuki passionately and eloquently warned that GE trees could be developed and released if we were not vigilant. Now with GE trees in the ground and the pending release of many genetically engineered tree species, "Synthetic Forests" will be an invaluable tool in bringing the story of this dangerous group of technologies into the public eye. As with GMO labeling initiatives, when people see the facts they can act.
"Synthetic Forests" will show in detail how GE Eucalyptus and GE Poplars, combined with the search for higher profits, will accelerate the devastation of indigenous communities and native forests. Deforestation, loss of biodiversity, pesticide use as well as increased water use and contamination will follow the release of GE trees. Pollen from GE trees, whether in the Southern US or the Global South could contaminate non GMO trees and will be inescapable for many people as pollen can drift hundreds of miles. Inhaled pollen could take away our choice to live GMO free, perhaps forever.
It's a powerful way to show the world who's behind the protective chemical masks. It may not be who you think it is.
And, you might be supporting them every time you go to the supermarket for diapers, toilet paper and tissues.
Rio de Janeiro is falling behind on its promise to plant 24 million trees to offset the carbon emissions produced as a result of hosting the 2016 Olympic Games. According to the official counter, just 5.5 million have been planted, and time is running out to get the remaining trees planted before the end of 2015 deadline. Back in September 2012, State Environment Secretary Carlos Minc was so confident of reaching the goal of 24 million trees he increased the target to 34 million. But with less than two years remaining before the set deadline and little more than that until the start of the 2016 Olympic Games, it is looking more likely that this will be another 'Olympic legacy' left unrealized.
Of the trees to be planted, the majority are meant to be native trees to help restore Rio's highly threatened yet biodiverse Mata Atlântica, or Atlantic Forest, that covers much of coastal and southern Brazil and which has been deforested to just 7% of its original coverage. Reforestation of degraded land is an expensive exercise, costing up to R$10,000-40,000 per hectare (all expenses included) over three years, according to Nicholas Locke, the President of REGUA, an association involved in reforestation of the Guapiaçu Valley in Rio state. It is unclear where the financing for this is going to come from, but the state has previously indicated that the effort would be a public-private partnership, with private companies providing R$500 million to meet environmental compensation requirements or as conditions for receiving environmental licensing.
There are two faces of reforestation in Brazil.
One is that of a simple country person with her family, bare-footed or flip-flopped, collecting seeds from the Mother trees of their region. They know the trees like they know their own relatives. They sell their seeds for a fair price to an association of nurserymen in the town nearby, who will grow them into trees for sale and wonder why those trees are so hard to sell. It took 5 years for me to uncover the story behind their difficulties and reveal another face of reforestation.
The other face wears a mask. It's the protective mask of NGOs, cooperating with agro-chemical companies and paper pulp companies. They have the big bucks to fund environmental education, teaching people to make money by allowing genetically modified forests to be planted on their land, or to use their new and "improved" methods for reforestation.
As one of our field partners has stated, "15‐20 years ago, the largest pulp and paper industry of the world started replacing cattle ranches (formerly rain forests) with eucalyptus plantations. On lands they keep on buying (for very low prices) or leasing for 20 years, they represent a huge threat to environment and public health, since the company makes use of enormous amounts of pesticides, herbicides (mainly glyphosate) and fertilizers with significant amounts of heavy metals… They do not follow the regulations that oblige plantations projects to be submitted to environmental assessment studies… They have polluted watersheds, groundwater, soils, people and animals from farms. Fish are dying in big amounts, cattle, pigs and chicken are born with deformities, people from farms located in the surroundings are ill, losing arm and leg movements, going blind."
They even make up new ways – like mixing native seeds with genetically modified crop seeds, spreading them together in fields and calling that reforestation. Monsanto calls it muvaca.
"The main difference is the involvement of muvuca producers to use the same type of equipment used for grain crops such as soybeans and corn. Compared with the planting of seedlings, maintenance and control is easier, the absence of ants and no need for irrigation during the dry season…"
So what can we do?
We can pray that the forces of Nature will prevail over their methods while we strengthen our collective will to reclaim our planet from their profit driven motives. And we can educate ourselves about what is REALLY going on. Many people now know of palm oil use being responsible for rainforest destruction thanks to good guys like Rainforest Action Network. But did you know that the diapers on your baby's bottom may well have come from the pulp produced by these GMO eucalyptus trees in a once-upon-a-time rainforest?
We can crowdfund educational endeavors. The iGiveTrees campaign is now focused upon translating the documentary "Silent Forest" and its sequel, into Portuguese with subtitles. We can support the small local NGOs and rural associations, to see the bigger picture of what is going on around them, and to stand up for themselves in an informed, empowered and peaceful way.
Is this a David and Goliath story? Indeed it is. But remember who won in the end.
by Alana Lea for Care2 causes, Earth Day 2014
The Two Faces of Reforestation in Brazil | Care2 Causes.
"Genetic engineering (GE) of our food supply amounts to a massive science experiment being performed on mankind, without consent or full disclosure. Although the biotech industry continues to claim GE products are safe, the truth is that no one knows what the long-term effects will be, because no one has done the necessary studies.
The loudest proponents of GE are the ones who stand to profit the most, and they don't seem terribly concerned about the human or environmental costs.
What do we know for certain? We know genetic engineering is riddled with unpredictable effects… so we should expect the unexpected.
You may not realize that this reckless genetic experimentation is not limited to your food supply. Besides being used to create drugs and "Frankenfish," they've also created vaccine-containing bananas, goats that produce spider silk in their milk, venomous cabbage, chemotherapy chicken eggs, and even glow-in-the-dark cats.
As creepy as some of these things are, the application that may have the greatest potential for global disaster are GE trees created to serve the desires of the paper industry."
~Excerpt from article by Dr. Mercola "Why Genetically Engineer Trees?"
As you've read in several of my prior posts, this is exactly what we're facing in rural Brazil:
• ArborGen reaches agreement with International Paper of Brazil
• From an Endangered Rainforest to Your Garbage Can and Toilet
• GMO Corn and Trees Replace a Rainforest
So now, I'm asking you to help me raise funds for the translation of "Silent Forest" narrated by scientist David Suzuki. Our field partners need to better understand what they're up against, and then decide how they want to respond to the information.
Will you help us to crowdfund the Portuguese translation and subtitling of "Silent Forest"? What you see below are a series of segments of the entire one hour film.
You can watch the entire film here: http://vimeo.com/51040243
The extinction of large, fruit-eating birds in fragments of Brazil's Atlantic rainforest has caused palm trees to produce smaller seeds over the past century, impacting forest ecology, found a study published in Science.
The researchers looked at Euterpe edulis palm seeds in patches of forest that have been fragmented by deforestation, coffee plantations, and sugar cane fields since the 19th century. They found that palm trees produced significantly smaller seeds in areas of forest that are too small to support "large-gaped" birds like toucans and large cotingas. The absence of these birds means that larger seeds aren't effectively dispersed, while smaller seeds are more vulnerable to drying out before germinating. The outlook for Euterpe edulis palms — and the species that depend on them — is therefore bleak in these fragments.
Fragmentation is having other impacts as well. Research published in Science in September documented a stunning and rapid decline in mammal populations in isolated forest fragments. Mammals suffered from population isolation, degradation of habitat, and invasive species.

January 19, 2013
I've been doing some research in this area myself.
Here's what I've found thus far :
I did not find any free apps to do this.
There are however numerous paid apps which can assist in this area.
An incomplete list of the applications I have found which do this, and a brief summary of my impressions follows.
1) AllYourTexts
$5.00 (15-day full trial)
very slick color-coded text output
graphical view of statistics of your text conversations
search capability through your conversations
doesn't handle emoji's, but includes pictures in its output
2) Copy Trans contacts
$9.99 (full capability trial, but limited to 50 transactions)
Very nice looking html output
doesn't handle emoji's, but does well with pictures
3) Decipher TextMessage
$19.95 (very crippled trial)
Nice looking html output.
Not sure how it handles pictures/emoji's (couldn't tell due to the crippled nature of the trial)
4) 3herosoft iphone SMS to Computer transfer
$14.98 — meh
5) Backuptrans iphone SMS backup and restore
$19.95 (very crippled trial)
Text-based output that I'm not very impressed with, honestly
Doesn't handle pictures or emoji's well
6) Tansee iphone transfer
$19.95 (very crippled trial)
Text-based output that I'm not very impressed with, honestly
Doesn't handle pictures or emoji's well
I am currently using a two-pronged backup approach.
I really like the clean nice-looking color-coded text output and statistical capabilities of AllYourTexts.
I also like the very pretty html output of Copy Trans contacts.
I find it very interesting that the two programs I like best and fit my needs the best (seem most functional) are actually the two lowest-priced applications of all the ones I looked at.
Anyway I hope this helps you!!

AFC West: 2012 backup quarterback
Assessing the Broncos' backup QB situation if Peyton Manning is injured and misses time.
Caleb Hanie was a bust in Chicago, but the Broncos believe he fits their system and he can be a solid backup to Manning this year. He is big and strong and has some skill. Yet, he was a disaster last season in Chicago when Jay Cutler went down. Hanie was 0-4 as a starter. He is in an interesting position because Manning has to prove he is healed from a neck injury that cost him the entire 2011 season. If Manning can't come back, the Broncos will be banking on Hanie early. It's a major risk. The Broncos drafted long-term prospect Brock Osweiler, but the team doesn't plan on him being a No. 2 this early in his career.
Confidence rating (out of 100) if Manning goes out for an extended period: 30.
What does Bill Williamson do when pressed for content during the slow summer months? He creates a confidence index for Caleb Hanie and Brock Osweiler.
I'm 30% confident you'll find this episode of Sports Science, in which some guy takes a record-setting kick to the testicles, more exciting.
Apparently, Williamson hasn't figured out that when there isn't much Broncos news, you should just give the people what they want: Tim Tebow bath salts.
Ty Warren has ended his unofficial holdout and joined the team for today's OTAs. Denver had sought to cut the veteran defensive tackle's salary from a contracted $4M down to $1M-1.5M according to earlier reports.
The former Texas A&M Aggie and first-round pick of the Patriots spent eight seasons with New England before signing a two-year, $8M free-agent deal with the Broncos last August. But a torn triceps muscle suffered during training camp caused him to miss the season; a hip injury had cost Warren his 2010 season.
As you've probably heard by now, the great science fiction writer Ray Bradbury passed away today at the age of 91. Since I (mostly) stay on topics that have some relation to football or a football-related event, I won't rehash the greatness of Bradbury here. What I will do, however, is pass along a quote from Bradbury that you'll find useful in your own life:
The Muse must have shape. You will write a thousand words a day for ten to twenty years in order to try to give it shape, to learn enough about grammar and story construction so that these become part of the Subconscious, without restraining or distorting the Muse.
This quote comes from the book Zen and The Art of Writing.
Wade Davis talks for the first time about being gay in the NFL, working with LGBTQ youth
"You just want to be one of the guys, and you don't want to lose that sense of family," Davis says. "Your biggest fear is that you'll lose that camaraderie and family. I think about how close I was with Jevon and Samari. It's not like they'd like me less, it's that they have to protect their own brand."
When I caught up with Kearse at the NFLPA's Rookie Premiere event in May, he still remembered Davis fondly a decade later. "That's my dog," Kearse said. He had no idea that Davis was gay until that event last month. "I know there have been a lot more than just Wade," Kearse said upon learning of Davis' sexual orientation. "It's just becoming more acceptable, which is a good thing so they can come out and not feel secluded."
Eddie George was on the other side of the ball with the Titans while Davis was there. The former Heisman Trophy winner didn't know Davis was gay at the time, but he feels a gay athlete on that Titans team would have been accepted. "I don't see it as a problem," George said. "I don't think it would have been a problem at all."
Watch out, David Tyree. It appears as if your version of American Anarchy is indeed coming true (or should we say, out?).
Like Tyree, I'm so concerned about the slippery slope that is gay rights, and by default, my hometown being renamed Sodom or Gomorrah, I'm proposing we create individual showers and bathrooms for each and every NFL player--you know, just in case those secretly-gay players get any secretly-gay ideas. Stock each bathroom with a copy of The King James (or Through My Eyes), and we'll stave them off.
David Tyree, I'm scared, too. We let the gays come out now, and what's next? Other players start catching "gayness" like the flu, and soon, sooner than you and your children--wrapped in innocence and preocuppied with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare--can lock the doors to your home and bomb shelter, Roger Goodell (that sissy) wears a rainbow pin.
Tim Tebow: I'm Too Busy to Google Myself
"Let's be honest, I'm not the first athlete to get on a knee and pray," Tebow told Shira Lazar. "For some reason, it just caught on this year."
Lazar asked Tebow if he's conscious of what the Internet says about him.
"I'm too busy to Google myself," he replied with a smile.
Google yourself? How bourgeois.
As the head of nerdery around here, I give you Mashable's lighthearted interview with Tim Tebow, in which he's asked about the Tebowing meme and how closely he may follow himself online.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Linebackers Joe Mays and Wesley Woodyard (videos) spoke after practice yesterday.
Mays expects the outside presence of Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil to force opposing offenses to run and throw at him instead, and he thinks Von will be even better in 2012 than he was last year.
Mays and Woodyard are both excited to see larger bodies at defensive tackle this year and expect this development to leave the two of them free to make more plays. Wesley appreciates that DC Jack Del Rio was himself an NFL linebacker, and he's been showing fellow Kentucky alum Danny Trevathan the ropes.
Cosell Talks: The Perception and Reality of Jay Cutler
When you watch as much tape as I do, only the most singular plays from years past remain embedded in memory. Yet, there's one from Cutler's third NFL start with the Denver Broncos — against the Arizona Cardinals — that still stands out in my mind. Cutler, off play action, rolled by design to his left. He turned his front shoulder, balanced his feet with his back foot planted, and then, in the face of pressure, threw it 65 yards in the air. It dropped accurately and easily into the hands of Javon Walker, as if Cutler had handed it to him. It was one of the best throws I had ever seen, one very few NFL quarterbacks would have even attempted, never mind completed.
I always believed the pairing of Cutler and Mike Shanahan in Denver would have yielded positive results over time. Unfortunately, circumstances prevented that from happening.
"Unfortunately, circumstances prevented that from happening..."
Around these parts, those circumstances go by the name of Josh McDaniels.
I'm not 100% certain, but I believe the records will also show that around 1994, Guns N' Roses hired McDaniels as their new manager.
A First For Peyton Manning
Even after 13 years in the NFL, Manning said Denver reporters asked him a question after Monday's workout he had never gotten before.
"People are passionate about their football," he said. "I'm not going to lie, I had an all-time first today. I was being asked about some incompletions that we threw in practice. That's just never happened to me before. That's kind of like asking Todd why he didn't hit more home runs in batting practice."
Manning also tells Dave Krieger he's enjoying being reunited with ex-Volunteers teammate Todd Helton, that he and Demaryius Thomas kept working after practice yesterday, and that he's of course unhappy with the more stringent practice rules that accompanied the latest CBA.
BTW, Peyton - go with Reese's peanut butter cups. They worked out fine 29 years ago, and their greatness endures.
As the kind of person who constantly experiences mental stimulus in day-to-day life, I often get interested in something based on that stimulus and seek out information on it. I'd bet I use the Wikipedia app on my iPhone 10 times a day when some random thing gets mentioned, and I want to know more about it. I'm an intellectually curious person, and the downside of that is that it's sometimes easy to get distracted by stuff, and pulled strongly in a strange direction, if only temporarily.
I don't say this to sneer at those who are less intellectually curious than I am, but rather to help you understand where I'm coming from. A longtime reader claimed last week that all I like to do is talk about which stupid people annoy me on a given day, and I suppose I can see where that comes from. I think it's an overly simplistic take, and there's always a larger point to what I am writing about than simply to criticize somebody, but I sometimes do write more candidly and less collegially than is the norm.
This part of the offseason is kind of a tough time, because nothing very interesting is going on. I get my information from my eyes, and my eyes can't see anything right now, you know? For that reason, I get a bit distracted by other shiny things going on, and rather than write vacuous tripe about nothing going on, like a newspaper columnist has to, I often feel like writing about other stuff.
The way I see it, I've got an audience, and I want to benefit and serve that audience the best way I can every time I write - even if they don't necessarily know what the topic will be on a given day. Plus, it's fun to piss off the ninnies and the trolls who flame us via email. Then, we say, oh yeah, that guy's an idiot, and we all have a big group laugh at his expense. (That was my obligatory idiot-calling of the column.)

Brandon Stokley on Reuniting with Peyton Manning: "It doesn't take us long to get back on the same page. It's been a blast from the past."
Well we have been doing it a lot longer than other guys. It doesn't take us long to get back on the same page. I know what he likes. I know what he wants. For me it's been a blast from the past. I am having fun and like you said in those two plays it was kind of like six years ago. It's definitely helped that I've had a relationship with him in Indy for four years and I practiced with him a lot. I am trying to continue to build off that.
Wow, this makes the J-Cutty/BMarsh love affair sound more like a pen pal relationship.
Seriously though, the Slot Machine's role in bringing Peyton to Denver cannot be overemphasized, and it's hard to say if PMFM would be a Bronco were it not for Stokley. But, he is.
Thank You, Stokes.

BOULDER — Meet Jaron Hopkins. The 6-foot-5 freshman guard from Mesa, Ariz., gets the first shot at replacing injured Colorado standout Spencer Dinwiddie beginning with Thursday night's Pac-12 battle against No. 25 UCLA in the Coors Events Center.
Hopkins has been CU's sixth man, contributing 5.4 points per game as the first player off the bench. He's now thrust into a starting role as the No. 21 Buffs (14-3, 3-1 Pac-12) try to overcome the absence of Dinwiddie's 14.7-point scoring average and, perhaps just as important, the loss of the junior's leadership and court savvy.
"There's a little bit more weight on my shoulders," Hopkins acknowledged. "I'm going to have to grow up quick and mature."
Dinwiddie will require surgery next week to repair the torn ACL in his left knee and is done for the season. There will be no easing into this transition. UCLA (13-3, 2-1) has one of the Pac-12's deepest rosters, particularly in the backcourt.
Led by two sophomores, 6-5 guard Jordan Adams (18.1 ppg) and 6-9 swingman Kyle Anderson (15.3), UCLA averages a league-best 89.7 points for Pac-12 games. Backup freshman guards Zach LaVine and Bryce Alford (the coach's son) contribute energy and a combined 21 points per game.
"UCLA is playing loose. They're playing confident," Boyle said.
Boyle's first concern is working on ways to stop UCLA's high-powered offense.
"What Jaron can do, with his size, is give us a defensive presence on the perimeter," Boyle said. "Jaron gives us great length, athleticism, size. Offensively, he can distribute the ball, shoot the ball, get the ball to the rim — a lot of things Spencer did.
"Jaron has proven he can do it at this level. The big challenge is, can he do it consistently?"
Hopkins, who once scored 43 points in a high school game, said he has tried to soak in everything that Dinwiddie has taught him.
Blog: Field House
The Denver Post's sports reporters add analysis and notes to this blog focusing on college sports.
"Spencer is going to still be with us on the sideline," Hopkins said. "He's going to be coaching me, so I should be prepared."
Hopkins shouldn't feel like he must fill the void himself, Boyle said. CU has two other point guards, sophomores Xavier Talton and Eli Stalzer, to give Hopkins a breather.
And with the team no longer counting on Dinwiddie's ability to make a play off the dribble, Boyle needs the system to create additional scoring opportunities for others, particularly for the Buffs' talented frontcourt of 6-10 Josh Scott, 6-7 Xavier Johnson and 6-9 Wesley Gordon. Scott (13.6 ppg) knows he must become even more involved offensively.
"I think my role has changed," Scott said. "It feels like I have moved up a year. I think we all do."
Boyle has reminded his team that it beat nationally ranked Oregon last year when star forward Andre Roberson was out with mononucleosis. CU also will be missing 6-7 freshman reserve Tre'Shaun Fletcher for six to eight weeks with a knee injury.
"There are no excuses for us," Scott said. "And frankly, if anybody has an excuse, I hope they don't play. We still have a lot of talented guys. We're going to have to figure out a way."

I am a working professional, some-what quiet, well kept. I work from home [I only go to the office when I have too :),]. Originally I am from Toronto, however, now I reside in Florida (past 10 years). In addition to work, I am also a student. My life revolves around the internet, social networking, and a firm belief that you have to give to recieve.
Ask me a question, and I'll tell you what you need to know, lol.
Tony has completed online and offline ID verification.
We had a great stay at Tony's place. Location was better than advertised being so close to the beach and the Hollywood boardwalk. Tony provided toiletries and made sure we felt welcome with water and beer in the fridge. Next time we come down we will certainly stay here again!
The condo was great, Tony was very proactive with communicating, he helped with recommendations for transportation from the airport (Uber X is best/lowest cost) as well as describing the condo. He met me when I checked in and gave a tour of the space and went over some stores that are within walking distance of the condo, very helpful. He supplied snacks and some food in the fridge which was a great perk as well as new shampoo/toothbrush/paste, better than most hotels I've stayed at. The condo is very clean, lots of open space with great views of the ocean and beach, to bad I was in town for a conference or I would have taken more advantage of the very close walk to the beach. Highly recommend the condo and Tony as a host.
Our trip at Tony's condo was wonderful! Tony was a great host and made sure we had the best trip possible. I would HIGHLY recommend Tony and his rental!
Tony is a terrific host and understands what guest are looking for. The small touches are really terrific, stocking the fridge with some essentials, fresh towels and toiletries and just being available. The apartment is very spacious and located in a nice mainly residential area. There were TV's in each room and wireless internet. The view from the balcony is great, however there is some construction going on which can get noisy with the balcony opened, although it's relatively quite when closed. There is direct beach access from the pool area which was great - you can walk in either direction for miles. Hollywood Beach is a 5 min drive and has a great boardwalk that runs for miles. Valet parking is available for about $10 per day. Walking distance to major retailers.
The reservation was canceled 39 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Tony is very friendly and accommodating, he made sure we got all we need and was easy to communicate with. The apartment is great, as shown in the pictures.
I felt very welcomed here. The condo was very nice and as described. We could walk directly to the beach. The condo was clean and well kept. We were able to take the Trolly to the Hollywood Boardwalk. Also, there is a Super Wal-Mart nearby where we could stock up on breakfast and lunch items. I highly recommend this condo if you're looking for a two bedroom two bath condo and want to enjoy sitting on the beach. There is a nice view of the Ocean from the Balcony. We also went to the pool and it was fine. There is also a gym but we did not get to that.
This is a great location and apartment. Highly recommend. Tony was a gracious and helpful host. Water views, on beAch side, friendly and nice building, spacious apt. We all had our own "space". I would go back!
Our host, Tony, made us very welcome. He provided snacks and beverages upon our arrival. The apartment was very spacious, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed--including beach chairs and towels. We had a fantastic view of the ocean as well as the bridge and intercoastal waterway. The building, pool and grounds were very well maintained and the staff was extremely accommodating. Overall, a very laid back atmosphere--no condo commandos here! There are very few 2 br 2ba apartments available for vacation rentals on Hollywood Beach. This one is a real find and a great value!!! We hope to stay there again the next time we have family in town.
Tony was an attentive and accommodating host. He left bottles of water and various snacks for us in the renter's mini-frig. The beach chairs, cooler, beach towels and sand toys were greatly appreciated! We even set up the beach chairs on the balcony so we could enjoy the ocean view. Just one building between the condo and the beach! Steps to the pool, gym and beach. Trolley stop is across the street to go to the Hollywood beaches and restaurants. Spacious and comfy condo. This place was perfect for the price and location.
Tony was a great guest! He is also a cool person and a veteran AirBnB host. He took care of the space, and truly utilized the amenities (e.g. Massage chair). Thanks! He also shared his knowledge of being an AirBnB host, which was invaluable. I would host Tony again, and without a doubt, I would recommend him to any other host!
Tony and his uncle are great guests, and cool persons... They both provided me with valuable feedback, and showed much love and appreciation for what I have done to the space. They are both respectful persons, and extremely funny. I would host Tony and his uncle anytime and would recommend them to other host.
Tony was a rock star of a guest! He not only was easy to communicate with and left my place in perfect condition, he even threw the bedding in the wash! Tony, a fellow host, is welcome back at my place anytime and I highly recommend him.
Tony was a wonderful guest. I found the place clean and tidy it and communication was easy and timely. I would definitely rent out my place to him again!
Tony was a fantastic guest. He is incredibly friendly. He was also clean, quiet, and respectful. We would highly recommend him.
Great guest, he left everything actually cleaner then when I did for him; thank you for that. I would definitely rent to him again, excellent communication and no complaints. Overall A+
Tony was a great first guest for me. He left my place spotless and even left me new sheets that he brought himself. He was great at communicating throughout the weekend in case anything went wrong or one of us had a question for the other. He was great.
Tony took care of my place very well! He was very easy to communicate with, even helped me with a computer issue i had while I was away. Place was left clean and he even replaced everything he used. Thanks again for being a great guest!
Tony was an extremely organized and communicative guest! He gave me all the information I would need about his trip to Toronto. He was a courteous and respectful guest who left the loft and its contents in tip top shape. Highly recommended guest! Thanks Tony! - James

live commentary
90 mins:FULL TIME: SWANSEA 3-4 NORWICH. What a game! Late drama as Swansea almost pull it out of the fire having been out of it at half time. The hosts comeback proved to be too little too late after a poor defensive display in the first 45 minutes.
90 mins:GOAL: SWANSEA 3-4 NORWICH. Surely it's too little too late as De Guzman's deep cross is nodded inside the far post by MICHU for his second.
90 mins:We are into injury time now and you'd have to say that Norwich have the points wrapped up and on the coach back to East Anglia.
88 mins:And here is another chance but Chico Flores cannot keep his header down.
87 mins:Swansea are still pressing on and trying to get something out of this game but Shechter's shot is well blocked by a flying Bassong.
86 mins:Here come Swansea again with Routledge sliding the ball through and Michu twiats and turns before firing narrowly wide.
84 mins:A change for Norwich with Grant Holt taken off and Steve Morison comes on.
83 mins:A cross towards the far post is met by a stretching Michu at the far post but he can't quite keep it in play.
81 mins:Into the final ten minutes now and unless Swansea can score quickly then this one should drift slowly towards a Norwich win.
79 mins:Surely that goal from Snodgrass will be the final nail in the coffin for Swansea today and Norwich look to be on their way to a first win away from home this season.
77 mins:GOAL: SWANSEA 2-4 NORWICH. Game over now? ROBERT SNODGRASS curls the free-kick over the wall and leaves Tremmel motionless as it finds the corner of the net.
75 mins:Now a booking for Swansea as Ashley Williams pulls back a marauding Holt.
73 mins:The pressure is relentless and Routledge picks out an unmarked Michu on the penalty spot but he heads wide.
72 mins:Swansea think this is the moment as Bunn drops De Guzman's free-kick and Shechter pokes it home but a free-kick has already been given.
70 mins:Norwich are really struggling to deal with the Swans at the moment and it looks like only a matter of time until they find the equaliser.
68 mins:A change for Sunderland with Danny Graham being replaced by Itay Shechter.
67 mins:Swansea are now appealing for a penalty as Graham hits the deck after a challenge from Garrido but referee Howard Webb waves play on.
65 mins:Superb work from Nathan Dyer as he snaps into a challenge and wins the ball back for Swansea to give Michu a shooting chance that is well saved.
63 mins:Swansea are keeping the tempo high and are simply running all over the visitors now.
61 mins:We could be in for a superb last half an hour here as Swansea go in search of a dramatic equaliser that would complete a sensational comeback.
59 mins:GOAL: SWANSEA 2-3 NORWICH. Here we go! The hosts are well and truly back in the game now as Nathan Dyer gets to the byline and his cutback is smashed in by JONATHAN DE GUZMAN.
58 mins:Norwich need to get back to what they were doing so well in the first half which was keeping the ball and slowly ramping up the pressure on the hosts.
57 mins:In the blink of an eye Swansea find themselves in behind with Graham staring into the whites of Bunn's eyes but fires straight at him.
55 mins:Good stop! De Guzman swings a cross deep towards the far post and with Michu waiting to nod in at the far post Mark Bunn dives over the collection of bodies to claim.
53 mins:If the Swans can get another one relatively quickly then anything could be possible in this game.
51 mins:GOAL: SWANSEA 1-3 NORWICH. Or maybe not? A lovely move from the hosts ends with Routledge squaring across the six yard box for MICHU to tap home at the far post.
50 mins:It doesn't look like Michael Laudrup's half time words of wisdom have done much to improve his team's display. The Canaries are still bossing it.
48 mins:Off the bar! Norwich have started superbly again and and a delightful move ends with Johnson lifting a superb flick over Tremmel but it won't come down quickly enough and clips the bar.
46 mins:The second period is underway at the Liberty Stadium.
45 mins:HALF TIME: SWANSEA 0-3 NORWICH. There is the half time whistle! Nobody would have predicted this half time scoreline but Norwich have been excellent.
45 mins:A first booking of the game as Michu is brought down by Russell Martin.
44 mins:GOAL: SWANSEA 0-3 NORWICH. Free header! Swansea can't defend set-pieces today and Snodgrass' free-kick is met by an unmarked GRANT HOLT to head past Tremmel.
42 mins:Well, who saw this coming? The Canaries are sitting pretty as we approach half time.
40 mins:GOAL: SWANSEA 0-2 NORWICH. Superb header! After a spell of Swansea pressure the Canaries win a corner and SEBASTIEN BASSONG rises highest to head beyond a helpless Tremmel.
37 mins:Michael Laudrup will be pleased with how his side are now playing. After a slow start they are looking increasingly dangerous.
35 mins:Swansea come again and Michu lets fly from long range and, after deflecting off Martin, his shot can only be watched drift wide by Bunn. That was close.
33 mins:This is much better from Swansea now and De Guzman looks to flick through to Graham again but Bassong gets a foot to it.
31 mins:That chance just seems to heva lifted the spirits for Swansea and suddenly there passing is a lot crisper.
29 mins:Should be 1-1! A delicious cross from De Guzman finds the run of Danny Graham as he peels of his man at the far post but he heads against the underside of the bar.
27 mins:And here is the Scottish international making his way into the box with the ball at his feet and firing the ball straight at Gerhard Tremmel.
25 mins:Norwich are really enjoying themselves here in South Wales and Snodgrass is seeing plenty of the ball.
22 mins:Swansea finally get forward again to give themselves a chance with De Guzman's free-kick but he slams it into the wall.

16 mins:GOAL: SWANSEA 0-1 NORWICH. It was coming! STEVEN WHITTAKER is in acres of space as he drives into the box completely unopposed to fire low beyond the legs of Tremmel.
15 mins:Norwich continue to press and Tremmel has to be at his best to deny Holt's header and then Howson's follow up. Swansea are all over the place at the back.
13 mins:Off the post! Jonny Howson's powerful drive beats Tremmel but crashes back off the base of the post.
10 mins:Half a chance for Swansea as Ben Davies overlaps and cuts it back for Danny Graham but his shot on the turn is always rising over the bar.
7 mins:Norwich have started this game very brightly and they are keeping the ball well against the usually possessive Swans.
5 mins:Good save! Another corner for Norwich and this time Bradley Johnson gets there first with a firm header but Tremmel denies him.
2 mins:An early corner for Norwich and Robert Snodgrass whips it in but Swansea clear this time.
1 mins:We are underway in South Wales.
Norwich: Bunn, Martin, Bassong, Whittaker, Garrido, Johnson, Snodgrass, Howson, Pilkington, Hoolahan, Holt.
Swansea: Tremmel, Rangel, Chico, Williams, Davies, Dyer, Routledge, de Guzman, Ki, Michu, Graham.
Norwich have turned things around after a horrific start to the season and now find themselves in mid-table after victory over Sunderland last time out.
The men from South Wales were excellent in their defeat of Arsenal at the Emirates last week and will be hoping to carry that sort of performance back to home turf today.

match report
Norwich City survived a second-half fightback from Swansea City to record their first away victory of the season in the Premier League in a thrilling contest which extended their unbeaten run to nine games in the top flight.
The successful spell for Norwich also sees them go 10 matches unbeaten in all competitions and it is a remarkable statistic for a team who had been tipped for relegation at the beginning of the campaign.
It was a dream first half for Chris Hughton's visitors as they took a three-goal lead through Steven Whittaker's solo effort and headers from Sebastien Bassong, his third goal in four games, and Grant Holt.
Michael Laudrup's Swansea, though, emerged a team with intent following half-time and scored twice before the hour mark through Michu and Jonathan de Guzman to set up a dramatic final half-an-hour in Wales.
But Norwich could breathe a little easier when the excellent Robert Snodgrass curled in a fine free-kick to mean Michu's injury-time header gave Swansea only a small reason to cheer before the final whistle.
The Canaries took a deserved lead in the 16th minute, when Snodgrass laid the ball off to Whittaker and the ex-Rangers man was allowed to run before cutting in and firing low past Gerhard Tremmel for his first Norwich goal.
Swansea had been building momentum but they were stopped in their tracks as Bassong met Holt's 40th minute cross to make it 2-0.
And just two minutes later, it was 3-0, with Snodgrass' perfectly delivered free-kick picking out an unmarked Holt, who easily steered his header beyond Tremmel to cap a superb first half for the Canaries.
Michu gave Swansea a route back into the game as he slotted into the far corner from Davies' low ball across the box in the 51st minute.
And Norwich's nerves only increased as Swansea got back within a goal on 59 minutes, when Nathan Dyer outpaced Javier Garrido down the flank and, when his cross was not cleared, De Guzman volleyed in.
Substitute Itay Shechter had the ball in the net soon after as Mark Bunn failed to hold the ball under pressure from Michu but referee Howard Webb ruled the Spaniard had fouled the goalkeeper.
Swansea's hopes were then over when Snodgrass stepped up to curl home a beautiful strike from a 77th minute free-kick, meaning Michu's second in injury time was not enough.

Downtown Cleveland Alliance honored for work on NineTwelve District
October 08, 2013 8:07 AM
Downtown Cleveland Alliance's
work related to the city's
NineTwelve District
has earned kudos from the
International Downtown Association
The Cleveland group won IDA's Downtown Merit Award in recognition of initiatives on the NineTwelve District, which covers the area from East Ninth Street to East 12th Street between Euclid and Lakeside avenues. The award was announced during the IDA World Congress and 59th Annual Conference in New York City, which runs through Wednesday, Oct. 9.
In a news release, Downtown Cleveland Alliance said the NineTwelve District was among eight qualified entries in the category of Economic and Business Development. Finalists in the category were projects that recruited new businesses or improved retention efforts in downtown; recruited new sectors of the economy to downtown; and created or enhanced economic development efforts through creative financing, unique operating strategies or public-private partnerships
"The Downtown Cleveland Alliance recognized the need for a renewed focus and rebranding of the former financial district when we formed the NineTwelve District in 2009," said Joe Marinucci, president and CEO of the Downtown Cleveland Alliance, in a statement.
"There were many office vacancies and few restaurants, retail stores and residential buildings," Mr. Marinucci said. "Now, office occupancy is at new heights, more than 2,500 new jobs have been committed to the district over the past two-and-a-half years, there are seven new residential projects that have recently come online or are in the pipeline, and the NineTwelve District has become a hot spot for new retail."
Washington, D.C.-based IDA has 550 members.

Flights to Seoul
Airports in Gothenburg
Depend on Orbitz.com to bring you the best deals on cheap flights from Gothenburg. The Swedish city of Gothenburg has two international airports within a 12-mile radius. Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport lies about 12 miles to the east of the city, while Gothenburg City Airport is about six miles to the northwest. Gothenburg-Landvetter is the larger and busier of the two and is the usual departure point for international visitors. Air Berlin, Lufthansa, Iran Air, British Airways and Air France are a few of the major commercial airlines that depart from Gothenburg-Landvetter.
Parking at the Airport
Long-term parking close to the passenger terminal is available at a weekly rate. Outdoor parking is available for a slightly lower rate. It takes about seven minutes to walk from the outdoor parking lots to the terminal. Short-term parking is best for travelers expecting to return within seven days. If you're a frequent traveler, you can investigate parking contracts with the airport so that you'll always have the space when you need it.
Transportation to the Airport
Airport coaches travel daily between the airport and downtown Gothenburg, and the trip takes an average of 20 minutes. Taxicabs can also take you from anywhere in the city to the airport at any time of day.
Restaurants at the Airport
If you arrive in plenty of time to get through security, you may find yourself with an hour or more to relax before boarding. You can always grab a bite to eat at one of the five restaurants located in the terminal. Smart travelers use Orbitz.com to plan cheap flights from Gothenburg and everywhere else.
Airports in Seoul
The South Korean city of Seoul is served by three airports. The largest airport in the city is Incheon International Airport, Seoul's international hub, where those looking for cheap flights to Seoul will likely arrive. Incheon replaced Gimpo International as the major international hub for South Korea in 2001 and was listed as the best airport in the world by Airports Council International between 2005 and 2012. The airport is serviced by most major international airlines including British Airways, Delta Airlines, Japan Airlines, United Airlines and Air Canada. Secondary airports serving the city include Gimpo International, the city's domestic hub, and Seoul Airbase, where the Republic of Korea Air Force's 15th Composite Wing is stationed. Visitors from Japan, Taiwan and China often fly into Gimpo. Incheon International is about 32 miles west of the city center, located at 2172-1 Woonseo-Dong, Joong-Gu in Incheon City.
Transportation From Incheon International Airport
Transporting from Inchon to Seoul can be done quickly by using the Incheon International Airport Railroad airport express. The train leaves the airport every 30 minutes, arriving in Seoul in about 43 minutes at a cost of $3.30. Taxi service from the airport is also available, including international taxis that provide drivers who speak English, Japanese and Chinese. The taxi takes about 60 minutes to make the journey, with rates for standard taxi service beginning at $38.50 and international taxis charging a flat fare depending on your destination zone. You can also find private buses at the airport for larger groups. These take about 70 minutes to travel to the city center and cost about $9 per person.
Weather in Seoul
Seoul has four distinct seasons, with extreme differences between summer and winter temperatures. During summer months, temperatures can rise as high as 95 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter temperatures can drop as low as 7 degrees. During the summer season, Seoul can be hit by monsoons or typhoons. Dress as warmly as possible during winter months, as cold snaps tend to come in three-day intervals. During the summer, light clothing is the norm and umbrellas are held close to hand. Light jackets are appropriate for spring and fall.
Attractions in Seoul
Seoul can be an enjoyable city to visit, with many attractions that bring in a steady stream of tourists. There are over 100 museums in the city, the best of which is arguably the National Museum of Korea. The National Museum is located near Gyeongbokgung Palace and contains exhibits covering the folk history of the country. Festivals are also common in Seoul. The Hit Seoul Festival takes place four times a year, once during each season. The Seoul International Fireworks Festival is also a treat; it is worth booking cheap flights to Seoul each year through Orbitz.com just to view this incredible fireworks exhibition.

We launched leggings! Step into a world of individuality.
Question Mark ~ Polygonia interrogationis (Fabricius, 1798)
Canon EOS 30D
Family: Brush-footed Butterflies (Nymphalidae)
Subfamily: True Brushfoots (Nymphalinae)
Identification: Forewing hooked; upperside is red-orange with black spots. Upperside hindwing of summer form is mostly black with a short tail; that of winter form has much orange and a longer, violet-tipped tail. Underside is light brown; hindwing with pearly white question mark in center.
Life history: Males find females by perching on leaves or tree trunks in the afternoon, flying to chase other insects and even birds. Females lay eggs singly or stacked under leaves of plants that are usually not the hosts. Caterpillars must find a host plant; they then eat leaves and live alone. Adults of the winter form hibernate; some staying in the north, many migrating to the south.
Flight: Overwintered adults fly and lay eggs in the spring until the end of May. The summer form emerges and flies from May-September, laying eggs that develop into the winter form; these adults appear in late August and spend the winter in various shelters.
Wing span: 2 1/4 – 3 inches (5.7 – 7.6 cm).
Caterpillar hosts: American elm (Ulmus americanus), red elm (Ulmus rubra), hackberry (Celtis), Japanese hop (Humulus japonicus), nettles (Urtica), and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica).
Adult food: Rotting fruit, tree sap, dung, carrion. Only when these are unavailable do Question Marks visit flowers such as common milkweed, aster, and sweet pepperbush.
Habitat: Wooded areas with some open space, city parks, suburbs, fencerows.
Range: Southern Canada and all of the eastern United States except peninsular Florida, west to the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, south to southern Arizona and Mexico.
