Title: Stabilizing a lakeside slope from Bracey, VA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:We are trying to beautify and stabilize a relatively large lakeside steep slope with a southern exposure in central Virginia. The soil is characterized by red clay and shale rock. How can we turn this into an attractive and low maintenance area that also serves to reduce erosion? Thank you in advance for your input!
Not being anxious to overstrain ourselves, we found a Previous Mr. Smarty Plants answer which addresses a very similar situation in Virginia. The previous answer is from Henrico County, north of Richmond, and not far from Mecklenburg Co., where you are located, on the southern border of Virginia with North Carolina.
We believe the advice about using grasses for erosion control in the previous answer also applies here. We are going to check each one we recommend to make sure it grows natively in the Mecklenberg County area, before we list it. You can follow each plant link to our webpage on that plant to get more information on what kind of sun exposure it requires, projected height, etc. Or, you can go to our Native Plant Database and, using the Combination Search, search on Habit (grass or grasslike plants), stipulating the amount of sunlight, the moisture of the soil, even the height you would like.
Plants for Soil Stabilization in Bracey VA:
Andropogon gerardii (Big bluestem)
Andropogon glomeratus (Bushy bluestem)
Carex stipata (Owlfruit sedge)
Carex pensylvanica (Pennsylvania sedge)
Peltandra virginica (Green arrow arum)

Rain blamed for latest chaos in Heathrow queues
Revealed: failed airport eye scanners have cost £2 for every passenger who used them
Nigel Morris
Nigel Morris is Deputy Political Editor at The Independent.
Tuesday 01 May 2012
The recent heavy rain across the south of England was the main cause of the chaotic scenes at Heathrow airport, the Government claimed yesterday as extra staff were drafted in to prevent huge queues building up again.
Ministers were accused of causing the problem of lengthy delays at passport checks by cutting numbers of border staff – and the London Mayor Boris Johnson said the crisis was giving "a terrible impression of the UK" to foreign visitors.
New arrivals at Heathrow's Terminal 5 said they waited more than two hours to be allowed into the country amid warnings that the airport was near breaking point. Travellers have been confronted with empty border control desks, with the delays exacerbated by the failure of iris scanners brought in to speed up the processing of passports.
Analysis by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism reveals that the iris recognition immigration system, which scans the unique patterns of travellers' eyes to confirm their identities, has cost just over £9m – but has only been used 4.7 million times, at a cost of £2 per passenger scanned.
The problems have intensified fears that London airports could struggle to cope with the tens of thousands of extra visitors heading to the capital for this summer's Olympics.
The Government insisted yesterday that urgent action was under way to plug the gaps at Heathrow – and pointed to recent prolonged rainfall as the reason for the disruption at Britain's busiest airport. Damian Green, the Immigration minister, told MPs that no passenger had had to queue for more than 90 minutes over the weekend, but conceded: "These times are too long. This was caused mainly by the severe weather leading to flight diversions and changing flight schedules and the bunching of arrivals."
Immigration officers were flown from Manchester to Heathrow to staff desks yesterday in an attempt to prevent a repeat of the disruption.
Mr Johnson wrote to Theresa May, the Home Secretary, to register his "serious concern" that the airport was "gaining such a poor reputation" and asked for reassurance that steps were under way to ensure it could handle the influx during the Olympics.
Keith Vaz, chairman of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee, challenged Mr Green in the Commons to either hire more staff or reinstate targeted checks on travellers based on the potential risk they posed. Mr Vaz added: "The third option, which is to do nothing, is simply not acceptable."
The iris recognition immigration system, which scans the unique patterns of travellers' irises to confirm their identities, was introduced six years ago in an attempt to cut down on delays at passport control.
Earlier this year the Government said the costly system was being scrapped after revealing that the software used was already out of date. Birmingham and Manchester airports have stopped using the scanners. They are operational in Heathrow and Gatwick, however enrollment on to the scheme has stopped. Around 385,000 people are registered, according to information released by UKBA.
Despite costing £4.9m to develop and a £4.2m to run, the technology and new automatic passport scanning gates often fail.

The Metropolitan Planning Commissions motion to dismiss the 8th District Preservation Association's MPC lawsuit was denied. Here's the press release from the 8th District Preservation Association:
Bob Wolfenbarger, Donna Bohon
Today Chancellor Daryl R. Fansler heard a Motion to Dismiss the Metropolitan Planning Commission from the lawsuit filed by the 8th District Preservation Association plaintiffs on the proposed Midway Road Industrial Park. That motion was denied.
The lawsuit brought by the 8th District plaintiffs is in two parts. The first is a certiorari action alleging that the MPC arbitrarily amended its East Sector Plan in order to facilitate the re-zoning of the Midway Road Property. The second part is a declaratory judgment action against the Knox County Commission asking the Court to declare the re-zoning null and void.
The MPC filed a Motion to Dismiss the Certiorari Action, asserting that MPC's amendment of its sector plan was not an appealable action. The 8th District Plaintiffs responded that the amendment of the sector plan was indeed a final appealable action by MPC, and that the Motion should be denied and the appeal should be allowed to go forward.
Chancellor Fansler, after careful consideration of the state statute, the Knox County Zoning Ordinance and the opinion of the Court of Appeals, agreed with the argument of the 8th District plaintiffs. A copy of the 8th District argument is attached for your information.
Their brief on the motion to dismiss is attached.
|Brief on Motion on Cert.pdf
A Big Deal
This is actually a pretty big ruling by Chancellor Fansler. There are three defendants in the suit - Knox County Commission, MPC and The Development Corp.
MPC argued that they should not have been sued because it was an action by KCC to approve the rezoning - that they were just an advisory body. Further, they said that they had the right to arbitrarily change their sector plan to accommodate the rezoning. So, they were asking to be let out of the suit as a defendant.
Fansler denied the motion, so the MPC, KCC and TDC are all in for the long haul. It was an important ruling and a big win for the plaintiffs.
That is good news. Hopefully
That is good news. Hopefully this will pull the covers off these three entities that seem to frequently make baffling moves that differ from the desires of the communities they were supposedly created to serve. I wonder how many citizens over the years have left these entities after passionate, well researched pleas, with fact based justifications, that were seemingly completely ignored. In addition the numerous citizens that did not even try because they felt there was no point. This potentially can give the citizens of Knox County a sense of empowerment and motivate future community involvement at many levels.
I agree that this suit should empower its citizens and encourage more citizen involvement. Right now, many citizens and neighborhood groups feel that it is useless to even try to be involved in zoning decisions because of the pro-development slant of MPC and County Commission. And don't even get me started on the BZA.
This lawsuit is going to be historic - it will show the MPC that they too have to be accountable for their actions, and that they can't just make arbitrary decisions. With Chancellor Fansler's ruling today, it has shown the MPC that they can't hide behind the government's cloak. Daylight the whole process and let's see what comes out - I think citizens will be both surprised and not surprised to see how their government really works.
I find it odd the
I find it odd the News-Sentinel is not acknowledging the significance of this lawsuit. Plus displaying a sense of pride that the their lawsuit has enabled citizens with a new mechanism to defend their rights. This is where the real value of 'Sunshine' is implemented. Someone mentioned it earlier, but this should have nationwide interest.
Could this end Knox Co's .5 billion$/yr developer subsidy?
So happy to hear that MPC is getting sued over Midway!
There are some good people on the staff at MPC who want to control urban growth, and taxpayer subsidies of it. But the commission is dominated by developers and insiders who are complicit in the lining of developers pockets with our tax dollars! If the lawsuit goes through and wins, it could transform the way MPC does business. Midway is a perfect example of MPC greenlighting a stupid un-needed project that saddles taxpayers with huge debts.
Every year MPC collaborates with developers, handing them what amounts to a .5 billion$ subsidy because they turn a blind eye to costly taxpayer subsidized extensions of sewer and road upgrades. This is relevant to Midway because the whole business "park" is really about getting sewer out there and creating a development boom on what is now relatively cheep land.
There is so much land that could be developed closer into town that already has adequate services ( roads, sewer, schools, fire, police, etc). But because this land is more expensive than undeveloped land further out, developers would rather we give them our tax dollars to make this cheeper land "developable" with sewer and wider roads.
The best thing that could come out of this lawsuit is that MPC closes the door on backroom deals by calculating the "cost of community services" for new development. MPC currently makes NO EFFORT to figure it this out for ANY development.
A report put out by Rutgers estimated that Nashville would save almost a billion dollars a year by managing all its growth so as to minimize the "cost of community services". At roughly half of Nashville's size, Knoxville could probably realize half as much by doing the same.
Currently we are giving all of this money to real estate developers, who get to buy cheep land in far flung parts of the county, and then have services extended regardless of the costs to taxpayers.
But lets not loose our focus on the real criminals in all of this, the Development Corporation of Knox County. They are the ones spearheading Midway and they are the ones who should receive the lions share of punishment. They should be re-organized into a body that reflects the interests of all stakeholders in Knox County, not just the fat cats.
Hopefully this lawsuit will help expose TDC's plan to put a new sewage treatment plant on the French Broad as an extreme case of taxpayer funded welfare for developers. The Development Corporation of Knox County, which is run by real estate developers and other members of Knox County's business elite, is trying to leverage the 4 million $ that they have budgeted for wastewater treatment for the Midway Business Park towards a 13 million $ sewage plant/handout for residential real estate developers. The result will be intensive real estate development at the very edge of Knox county, costing taxpayers millions in road upgrades and expansion of police and fire services.
If this development were shifted towards the many vacant tracts of land in the parts of Knox county that already have sufficient services to accommodate new growth, 500 million tax dollars could be saved!!!
Can you imagine what Knox County could do with half a billion dollars more each year?
Here is a press release for the report on the cost of community services:

Van's the man. (But he's not the daddy)
News of baby for rock star, 64, was posted by website hacker
Friday 01 January 2010
It was Mark Twain who first observed that a lie could be halfway round the world before the truth had got its boots on. Scroll forward a century or so, and the power of the internet combined with the closely guarded private life of one of rock'n'roll's most reclusive stars provides the perfect recipe for a modern-day hoax.
Yesterday, Van Morrison ended three days of speculation to reveal that – contrary to claims made on his official website – he has not become a dad again at the age of 64.
The Belfast-born singer, known to his millions of fans worldwide as Van the Man, said he had been the victim of cyber hackers and was "dismayed" and "flabbergasted" at the announcement, which was immediately pounced upon by the rest of the world's media, including The Independent.
In a statement issued through Irish broadcaster RTE, Morrison, whose eldest daughter is 39, said reports of the birth of "George Ivan Morrison III", said to be his fourth child and the "spitting image of his daddy", were "completely and utterly unfounded". He also denied even knowing the name of the woman, Gigi Lee, credited with giving birth to the boy, insisting he was still satisfactorily hitched to his second wife, Michelle Morrison, the mother of two of his children. It was perhaps a testament to how little is known about the artist's private life and the penchant of other ageing rock stars to sire children late in life that the story was so readily believed.
Morrison said he had ordered an immediate investigation into the hacking attack, the second to affect his website in three months. He said: "The comments which appeared on my website did not come from me. They are completely and utterly without foundation. For the avoidance of all doubt and in the interests of clarity, I am very happily married to Michelle Morrison, with whom I have two wonderful children."
Morrison dispatched his friend John Saunders, a Dublin-based public relations executive, to elaborate on the characteristically terse statement. Mr Saunders admitted that the "Moondance" singer was a "mystery man in many ways" and that his genius for music had never been replicated in his PR – a fact readily attested to by fans who have often had to make do with the sight of his back during performances.
When news of the birth was reported, Gigi Lee was described as Morrison's manager and executive producer of a forthcoming live DVD of the 2008 live performances to mark the 40th anniversary of his seminal album Astral Weeks. But Mr Saunders said the two were strangers.
"I spoke to Van a short while ago and I said do you even know this person [Gigi Lee]? He's never heard the name at any stage."
Morrison had spent Christmas with his family, apparently mulling over the excitement generated in the outside world over the birth of a child instantly hailed as "Mini-Van" by fans.
"I think he's within his rights to feel that he shouldn't have to come out and comment on something that is completely false, but given the seriousness of this he has made this statement and he's emphatic that this story is completely and utterly without foundation," said Mr Saunders.
He suggested Morrison was well prepared to deal with the unexpected turn of events. "Many things have happened to him over the years. He has lived a lot of his life in the limelight. This is just another episode along the way," he said.

The network of alleged spies was controlled by the Central Intelligence Agency through US embassies in the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Malaysia, according to an intelligence ministry statement posted on the Mehr news agency's website on Saturday.
"Due to the massive intelligence and counterintelligence work by Iranian intelligence agents, a complex espionage and sabotage network linked to America's spy organisation was uncovered and dismantled," the statement said.
"Elite agents of the intelligence ministry in their confrontation with the CIA elements were able to arrest 30 America-linked spies through numerous intelligence and counterintelligence operations."
The statement also said Iran had identified 42 US intelligence officers in the three named countries.
"They engage in collection of information regarding Iran's nuclear, aerospace defence and bio-technology fields," among other areas, the ministry said.
The spy network worked under the cover of labour recruitment agencies, the statement posted on Mehr's website said.
"The elites, educated and naive people were recruited to get visas, residency permits, education abroad and employment," it said.
Spying in Iran can carry the death penalty. Washington has had no diplomatic presence in Iran since the 1979 revolution which deposed the US-backed shah and was followed by the lengthy occupation of the US embassy.
Diplomatic cables published by the WikiLeaks website showed the US operated information-gathering desks on Iran in neighbouring countries where diplomats would seek to glean intelligence from travelling Iranians.
The announcement of the arrests comes two days after Barack Obama, the US president, made a speech on the Middle East, reiterating Washington's view that Tehran sponsors terrorism and is seeking nuclear weapons, charges Iran denies.

In this week's best and worst dressed of the week, a fashion legend makes a rare wrong turn, Jen-An pulls out her baby bump again and J-Lo confuses.
We haven't touched upon the GQ Man of the Year Awards here, as we're all over those here (with giving Kimmy a pass stirring up a lot of controversy).

In this weekly fashion fest we only bring you the horrors and the hits from the red carpets and only cover events where celebrities know they'll be snapped and critiqued for their fashion (so no Britney leaving Maccas in her trackies.)

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Financial troubles continue for Arctic Glacier
WINNIPEG — The financially-troubled Arctic Glacier Income Fund has reported substantial net losses for the final quarter of 2011 and for the year as a whole.
The Winnipeg-based packaged ice company announced today that it recorded a net loss of $54.7 million, of 16 cents, for the fourth quarter of last year, and a net loss of $84.9 million, or 50 cents per unit, for the full 12 months of 2011.
That compared to a net loss of $22.1 million, or 57 cents per unit in the final three months of 2010, and a net loss of $82.7 million, or $2.12 per unit for all of 2010.
The company said the big different in per-unit results between the fourth quarter of last year and the final quarter of 2010 was partly due to there being a higher number of units outstanding in the final quarter of last year because of a debenture conversion earlier in the year.
Arctic Glacier has been rocked in the last couple of years by a prolonged antitrust investigation in the United States and by related civil litigation on both sides of the border.
After exhausting all of its options to refinance the company over the past year, a liquidity crisis forced Arctic Glacier to seek protection from the Canadian and U.S. courts last month until it can complete a court-supervised recapitalization of its business under the companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA).
That process includes seeking a buyer for the company. In the meantime, an additional $50 million was made available to enable it to continue operating as a going concern and to continue paying its suppliers.
All current litigation against the company also was stayed until it emerges from CCAA protection.

Hey all,
I have a couple of prints on my wall that have started to degrade, I only noticed it when looking closely (cleaning the frames). They've started getting a reflective (the metamerism is what I noticed first) bronze appearance in the shadows/lower-midtones. It's uniform across the print (not just the edges) but definitely correlates with the denser parts. A couple of Zone-III regions have it speckled across them, and it forms dense lines of reflectivity where light & dark parts of the print meet. The darkest regions don't seem to have it and the higher zones are clear. It has a bronze appearance in diffuse light and a silvery appearance from straight-on - see attached.
The paper is Arista.EDU RC VC gloss, aka Foma Variant, developed in Ilford Multigrade 1+7, fixed for 1:00 in Hypam 1+4, washed for 4:00 (continuous agitation) with 6 changes of water. The change has occurred only (and equally) in two framed prints and other prints made in the same timeframe and stored in paper boxes have mostly not degraded; one (of maybe 20 in boxes) has bronzing over about 1/3 of its area, seemingly where it was more exposed to atmosphere. The prints are only about 20 months old. The framed prints are sandwiched between acid-free mat boards and behind glass. Not hermetically sealed. They're hung in a bedroom out of direct sunlight and the humidity is often very high due to drying clothes in front of a heater (we can get condensation on the windows) but there has never been condensation in the frames.
Being in Adelaide, I have a fair bit of iron in my process water, could that be a cause? Perhaps I have humidity-induced silver-mirroring and colouring of that due to iron?
What is the degradation and how do I avoid it? Is my portfolio of stuff printed so far mostly screwed?
