"Great book. Great narration"
Even though this was published in 1927, this book is an amazingly current satire of the religious puffery, false piety, and small mindedness of some that still exists today. The narration is pitch perfect.
"Just couldn't stand the paternalism"
No. I was really interested in getting an overview of Australian history. The author indicates that he's attempting to be objective and balanced about the tensions between Aborigines and white Australians, but the paternalism is so thick I struggled to get through the first couple of hours and then gave up. For example the author states that establishing large areas of protected land for the indigenous people of Australia never would have worked because inevitably they would have been drawn away by the bright lights of the big city. Really? Really? That's so brutal, I'm not even really sure how to respond to that. There are many, many other examples. I think the author is genuinely trying to be balanced, he's just coming from a perspective that is already so far gone it's not much help.
"starts off okay but then descends into schlock"
Starts off okay but then it gets very predictable and a bit over the top. I was engaged for the first half, but then I just couldn't take it any more and had to put it down
"Interesting topic, but an overabundance of detail"
The core argument of the book is interesting, but in some places this almost feels like a masters thesis, where the author is just trying to jam in as many facts as possible to support the main argument. As a result the book is repetitive and is downright dull in places.
I normally love Michael Lewis, but this book left me short. The problem here is that this wasn't really a Lewis book it is more like a well done journalism thesis or academic work. The comparison of the pieces written at the different times is interesting in a big picture way but reading the articles themselves get a bit repetitive.

Virginia Tech's Williams running loose
September, 26, 2009
Posted by ESPN.com's Heather Dinich
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Consider the question officially answered: Yes, Ryan Williams is good enough to keep the Hokies' offense going without Darren Evans.
It's such a simple formula -- give the ball to Williams and let Tyrod Taylor run -- that it's hard not to wonder where this offense has been. The only answer seems to be hibernating until the conference season began. Miami has only 41 yards rushing in this game, and the duo of Javarris James and Graig Cooper couldn't combine for the kind of day that Williams has had. He's got 136 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries, and his latest touchdown just put this game out of reach at 31-7.
Yes, this is the same Williams who had about six carries in the entire second half last week against Nebraska. He also caught two passes for 40 yards. Bryan Stinespring is using what he's got this week, and Miami's defense can't seem to do a thing about it.

Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa Politician
Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa (14 March 1902 – 22 April 1993), was a Venezuelan politician. A founder of Democratic Action and Minister of Education in its first government (1947–1948), he was a leader of Democratic Action after the restoration of democracy in 1958. He split from Democratic Action in 1967 when it tried to prevent his victory in district-level primary elections for the 1968 presidential race translating into Prieto Figueroa winning the nomination. He and a substantial group of supporters split from AD and founded the People's Electoral Movement, which he led until his death. After completing a doctorate in political and social sciences at the Central University of Venezuela (1934), he became engaged in politics, and was a senator from 1936 to 1941. He was a founding member of party Acción Democrática (AD, Democratic Action), and Minister of Education under Rómulo Gallegos (1947-8). After the 1948 coup he went into exile, working for UNESCO in Costa Rica and Honduras (1951-8), after a professorship at the University of Havana (1950-1). Returning from exile after the end of the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez in 1958, he was again elected senator (1959–1969).

Organizations founded
1. People's Electoral Movement
The People's Electoral Movement was a left-wing political party in Venezuela, founded in 1967 by Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa. It merged into PSUV in 2007. The MEP was founded after Prieto Figueroa won the 1967 Acción Democrática primary election, only to see his nomination overturned by the Romulo Betancourt faction, in favour of Gonzalo Barrios, considering Prieto too far left. Prieto Figueroa, at the time President of the Venezuelan Senate as well as President of AD, split from AD over the affair along with a substantial number of his supporters. Prieto Figueroa achieved 19% of the vote in the Venezuelan presidential election, 1968, coming fourth in a close election. However Prieto's subsequent electoral run, in the Venezuelan presidential election, 1978, achieved only just over 1%. Prieto Figueroa led the party until his death in April 1993. At the December 1993 election it was part of the National Convergence coalition which successfully backed Rafael Caldera. The party supported Hugo Chávez from 1998 onwards, and in the legislative elections, 4 December 2005, the party won 11 out of 165 seats in the National Assembly. It merged into PSUV on 20 October 2007.

Democratic Action
Geographic scope
Official web page
Wikipedia article
Democratic Action is a Venezuelan political party established in 1941. The party and its antecedents played an important role in the early years of Venezuelan democracy, and led the government during Venezuela's first democratic period. After an intervening decade of dictatorship saw AD excluded from power, four presidents came from Acción Democrática from the 1960s to the 1990s. By the end of the 1990s, however, the party's credibility was almost nonexistent, mostly because of the corruption and poverty that Venezuelans experienced during the last two full-term administrations of the party's time in power, namely, those of Jaime Lusinchi and Carlos Andrés Pérez. The latter president was impeached for corruption in 1993, and spent several years in prison as a result. Since the 1998 election of Hugo Chávez, a range of newer parties have been more prominent in opposition to Chávez.

The Shiromani Akali Dal romped home with a comfortable victory in the by-election for the Moga Assembly constituency in Punjab on Thursday, when its candidate Joginderpal Jain defeated his Congress rival, Vijay Saathi by 18,849 votes.
According to the results announced by the spokesperson from the Chief Electoral Officer, of the total 130300 votes counted through 14 rounds, Mr. Jain polled 69269 votes, Mr. Saathi got 50420, while Dr. Ravinder Singh Dhaliwal of the People's Party of Punjab returned a tally of 7401 votes. The other eight candidates did not cross the 1000 votes' mark.
The by-election was necessitated after Mr. Jain, who had won the seat on a Congress ticket in the February 2012 general elections to the Assembly, resigned and joined the Akali Dal. This is the third consecutive win for Mr. Jain. With this victory, the Akali Dal's tally in the 117 member Assembly has risen to 57, just one short of simple majority. It has two associate members, who had revolted in the Assembly polls and returned to the party fold after the results. The Akali Dal is in alliance with the BJP, which has 12 MLAs. However, the number of Congress legislators has reduced to 45.
Though the victory may not have any bearing on the legislative arithmetic, it is expected to have far reaching impact on the State politics, especially within the ruling party, where the issue of succession may warrant a final settlement. The result could spark more fissures within the Congress, where the demand for change in leadership has been raising its head quite often.
The camp of the president of the Akali Dal, Sukhbir Singh Badal, would flaunt his invincibility, especially after he led the party in the last Assembly polls when for the first time in the State's history, the ruling alliance retained power. Later, he led the alliance to a landslide victory in Dasuya by-election in July, which was followed by the Akali Dal historic victory in the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC).
Meanwhile, thanking the people of Moga for reposing trust in the ruling alliance through a largest ever victory margin for the Akali Dal, Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal said that results should hand out a warning to all political parties that negative campaign was rejected by the people. He said that while the people of Moga had put a stamp of approval on the development based agenda of the Akali Dal-BJP, they had taught the Congress a lesson for unprecedented price rise, lack of governance, corruption and complete disconnect with the needs of the common person.
On the other hand, Captain Amarinder Singh, who heads the Punjab unit of the Congress said that while the result of a single by-election was no measure of the popularity of a government as the Akali Dal had manufactured and manipulated the result through misuse of money, muscle, police and official power. He said that the otherwise "soft spoken" Chief Minister had also threatened discrimination if Moga did not elect their candidate.

Three 6 Mafia
When the members of Three 6 Mafia won a 2006 Best Song Oscar for "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp," from Hustle & Flow, they reacted with so much exuberance that they made Cuba Gooding Jr.'s Jerry Maguire acceptance speech seem restrained by comparison – and even though the group is currently down to a duo, survivors DJ Paul and Juicy J are still basking in the glow of victory. There are missteps here, like the misbegotten "My Own Way," featuring (gag) Good Charlotte, but the kiss-my-ass opus "I Told 'Em" and the radio-ready "Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body)" are confident and celebratory. As for the infectiously moronic "I'd Rather," it declares, "I love having sex/But I'd rather get some head!" Take notice, Academy Awards voters.

Josephine Baker
Image and Icon
Reviewed by
Whitney Hallberg
Provocative Performer. In 1919, thirteen-year-old Freda Josephine McDonald ran away from home to become a Vaudeville player. When she left the country several years later, she would become one of the most famous entertainers of the early twentieth century.
Josephine Baker: Image and Icon, edited by Olivia Lahs-Gonzales (Reedy Press, 9 x 11, 90 color and b/w photographs and illustrations, 159 pages, hardcover, $35.00, 978-1-933370-02-6), was created to celebrate the 100th birthday of the legendary jazz performer. Biographical essays detail the actress's life, including her childhood in St. Louis; her early career, when she began exploring issues of race, gender, and class; and her eventual move to Paris, where she became a star.
Photographs are accompanied by promotional posters and pieces of art, depicting the exotic Baker mid-performance—dancing, singing, and in her famous banana skirt.
A fascinating addition to any jazz or burlesque collection.

The invention provides a method for removing sulphur compounds from water by anaerobic reduction of the sulphur compounds to sulphide, followed by a partial oxidation of the sulphide to elementary sulphur. The anaerobic reduction is carried out at elevated temperature, either continuously at a temperature of 45°-70° C., or periodically at a temperature of 55°-100° C. If the reduction is carried out periodically, a single rise in temperature for a few hours to several days over a period of 3-6 months can suffice. The method is particularly applicable to the removal of sulphate, sulphite and thiosulphate.
1. Method for removing sulphur compounds from water, which comprises: subjecting the water to anaerobic treatment with sulphur- and/or sulphate-reducing bacteria, said anaerobic treatment being carried out at a temperature of above 45° C. for at least a portion of the time.
2. Method according to claim 1, wherein the anaerobic treatment is carried out at a temperature of above 50° up to 100° C. for at least a portion of the time.
3. Method according to claim 1, wherein the anaerobic treatment is carried out at a temperature of 50°-70° C. for at least a portion of the time.
4. Method according to claim 2, wherein the anaerobic treatment is carried out at a temperature of 60°-100° C. for a portion of the time.
5. Method according to claim 1, wherein the anaerobic treatment is carried out at said temperature periodically for 15 minutes to 7 days.
6. Method according to claim 1, further comprising: adding an electron donor to the water.
7. Method according to claim 6, wherein an electron donor is used from which acetate is formed in an anaerobic medium.
8. Method according to claim 6, wherein the electron donor used is methanol, ethanol or glucose.
9. Method according to claim 1, wherein sulphate is removed from water.
10. Method according to claim 1, wherein sulphite is removed from water.
11. Method according to claim 1, wherein thiosulphate is removed from water.
12. Method according to claim 1, wherein the anaerobic treatment results in the formation of sulphide which is essentially oxidized to elemental sulphur, and the sulphur formed is removed.
13. Method according to claim 12, wherein the sulphide is partially oxidized with sulphide-oxidizing bacteria in the presence of a deficiency of oxygen.
14. Method for the treatment of sulphur-containing flue gas, which comprises: washing the flue gas with a wash liquid so as to obtain a sulphur-containing water, and regenerating said wash liquid by subjecting the water to anaerobic treatment with sulphur- and/or sulphate-reducing bacteria, said anaerobic treatment being carried out at a temperature of above 45° C. for at least a portion of the time.
15. Method according to claim 14, wherein the anaerobic treatment is carried out at a temperature of 50°-60° C.
The invention relates to a method for removing sulphur compounds from water.
The presence of sulphur compounds in water is usually an unacceptable factor. In the case of sulphate, sulphite and thiosulphate, the principal drawbacks are attack on the sewer, eutrophication and silting. In addition, heavy metals, which are particularly undesired because of their toxic properties, are frequently also present in water containing a large amount of sulphur compounds.
Industries which produce effluents containing sulphur compounds include the viscose and edible oils industry, tanning, paper, rubber, printing and photo-graphic industries, metallurgic industry and mining industry.
Wash water from flue gas treatment plants is a type of effluent which contains sulphur compounds, in particular sulphite, that can be removed only with difficulty. Flue gases from power stations and waste incinerators cause extensive pollution of the environment due to the presence of acidifying sulphur dioxide (SO2). The harmful effects of acidification are generally known.
Two types of method are available in general for the removal of sulphur-containing compounds, that is to say physicochemical methods and biological methods.
Physicochemical treatment methods include ion exchange and membrane filtration (electrodialysis and reverse osmosis). Disadvantages of such methods are the high costs and the large stream of waste which results. In the case of flue gas treatment, absorption on lime or ammonia is usually employed. In this case large amounts of gypsum or ammonium sulphate are formed; a part of these wastes could be re-used. However, particularly in the case of gypsum the possible uses are becoming ever fewer because the quality demands for gypsum are becoming ever more stringent.
In the case of a biological treatment, sulphate, sulphite and other sulphur compounds are reduced by sulphate-reducing bacteria in an anaerobic step to give sulphide, which in turn can be oxidized to elementary sulphur. The advantage of such a method is that only small waste streams remain because the sulphur formed can be re-used. However, the disadvantage is that, especially when the effluent contains little organic matter, electron donors have to be added in order to provide sufficient reduction equivalents for the sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). The most important electron donors are methanol, ethanol, glucose, hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The use of these or other electron donors has the effect of substantially increasing the cost of this method of removal of sulphur from waste streams.
Organic compounds having two or more carbon atoms are found to decompose under anaerobic conditions to give hydrogen and acetate. The hydrogen can be used as an electron donor for the reduction of sulphate and sulphite and the like, but, under normal conditions, about 50% of the acetate is converted to methane by methane producing bacteria (MPB). Methanol (C-1) is converted to methane for about 90% under normal conditions. Methane formation has the disadvantages that additional electron donor has to be added (increasing the costs) and that a gas stream contaminated with H2 S is formed which has to be washed and burnt off in the flare.
It has been found that sulphur compounds can be effectively removed from water by continuous or intermittent use of an elevated temperature during the anaerobic treatment, without large amounts of added electron donor being needed, because little or no methane is produced.
According to the method of the invention, the sulphur compounds are therefore removed by subjecting the water to an anaerobic treatment with bacteria which reduce sulphur and/or sulphate, if necessary with the addition of electron donors, and carrying out the treatment, at least for a portion of the time, at an elevated temperature, in particular a temperature of more than 45° C.
The elevated temperature can be used continuously or virtually continuously, for example when an inexpensive energy source is available, as in the case of hot flue gases and/or a warm wash liquid. A suitable elevated temperature is then in particular a temperature of 45°-75° C. and more particularly of 50°-70° C. In the treatment of flue gases, a continuous temperature of 50°-60° , especially 50°-55° C. for the biological reduction of sulphite in the wash water is convenient.
Preferably, the anaerobic treatment is carried out at an elevated temperature for a portion of the time, e.g. periodically. A temperature of 55°-100° C., preferably 60°-100° C. and more preferably 60°-80° C. is particularly suitable for the periodic increase in temperature. Thus, the temperature is raised to a maximum of above 45° C. for a single period or periodically. The level of this maximum and the time for which this maximum is maintained can be selected as a function of the nature of the effluent to be treated, the micro-organisms used and the desired degree and speed of treatment. general, a higher temperature has a better effect. The elevated temperature can be maintained for a period of from several minutes or hours to several days, for example 1 week; the treatment can then be carried out for, for example, a few days to a few months, at normal temperature, for example 15°-40° C., after which the temperature can be raised again as described above.
Using the method according to the invention, the efficiency of the electron donors is substantially improved. For example, it is found that virtually all acetate is consumed at the elevated temperature by the bacteria which reduce sulphate and sulphite and that methane production stops. Consequently, appreciably less electron donor (for example 30% less in the case of ethanol) has to be added. It is assumed that the methane-producing bacteria (MPB) are killed at high temperature, while the sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) form spores which become active again at lower temperature.
Table 1 shows the effects of a short temperature increase (15 to 30 minutes) on the activity of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) (absolute and relative) with respect to acetate as an electron donor and the electron donor efficiency, in the reduction of sulphate in a batch experiment.
TABLE 1______________________________________Temperature Activity SRB Acetate efficiency(°C.) (mg S/1.h) (%) (%)______________________________________30 (blank) 34.4 100 6750 45.1 131 8070 60.7 177 10095 80.2 233 100______________________________________
In the case of flue gas treatment, the SO2 can be removed from the flue gases using a large scrubber and then fed in dissolved form in the wash water to the anaerobic reactor. The increase in temperature for the anaerobic treatment can then be effected by not cooling or even heating the wash water. The dissolved SO2 is mainly in the form of sulphite and bisulphite. This sulphite and bisulphite is converted to sulphide in the anaerobic biological reactor.
The sulphide formed can then be oxidized to elementary sulphur in a separate reactor. The elementary sulphur can be used as raw material for diverse applications.
This oxidation is preferably carried out in a second biological reactor. In the second biological reactor, oxygen metering is controlled such that the sulphide is mainly oxidized to sulphur and not, or only to a slight extent, to sulphate. The partial oxidation can be effected by, for example, keeping the amount of sludge in the reactor low or by using a short residence time. However, it is preferred to use a deficiency of oxygen. The amount of oxygen can be rapidly and simply adjusted to the requirements of the stream to be treated.
The method according to the invention can be used for a wide variety of sulphur compounds: in the first place, the method is particularly suitable for the removal of inorganic sulphate and sulphite. Further possible compounds are other inorganic sulphur compounds such as thiosulphate, tetrathionate, dithionite, elementary sulphur and the like. Organic sulphur compounds, such as alkanesulphonates, dialkyl sulphides, dialkyl disulphides, mercaptans, sulphones, sulphoxides, carbon disulphide and the like can also be removed from water by the method of the invention.
The product from the method according to the invention is, if post-oxidation is employed, elemental sulphur, which can be separated off simply from water, for example by settling, filtration, centrifuging or flotation, and can be re-used.
For the post-oxidation of sulphide with sulphide-oxidizing bacteria and a deficiency of oxygen, use can be made of the method according to Netherlands Patent Application 88.01009. The bacteria which can be used in this case come from the group of colourless sulphur bacteria, such as Thiobacillus, Thiomicrospira, Sulfolobus and Thermothrix.
The bacteria which can be used for the anaerobic step of the method according to the invention, for the reduction of sulphur compounds to sulphide, are in particular sulphur- and sulphate-reducing bacteria, such as those of the genera Desulfotomaculum, Desulfomonas, Thermodesulfobacterium, Desulfovibrio, Desulfobulbus, Desulfobacter, Desulfococcus, Desulfonema, Desulfosarcina, Desulfobacterium and Desulforomas. In particular, the genera Desulfotomaculum, Desulfomonas and Thermodesulfobacterium have optimum growth temperatures from 45° to 85° C. The SRB can further be divided according to their metabolism: the completely oxidizing sulphate reducing bacteria (c-SRB) are able to reduce organic substrates to CO2, whereas the incompletely oxidizing sulphate reducing bacteria (i-SRB) oxidize the organic substrate to acetate which cannot be oxidized further. The i-SRB grow significantly faster (about 5 times) than the c-SRB. Bacteria of the suitable types are generally available from diverse anaerobic cultures and/or grow spontaneously in the reactor.
An electron donor is needed to reduce the sulphur compounds to sulphide. If water which contains little or no organic matter has to be treated, an electron donor of this type must be added. Depending on the application, electron donors which can be used for this purpose are, for example: hydrogen, carbon monoxide and organic compounds, such as fatty acids, alcohols, polyols, sugars, starches and organic waste. Methanol, ethanol, polyols such as starches and inexpensive sources of glucose, in particular corn steep liquor, and acetic acid are preferably used. If necessary, nutrients are also added in the form of nitrogen, phosphate and trace elements.
Various aqueous effluents can be treated using the method according to the invention, such as domestic waste water, mine effluent, industrial effluent, for example from the photographic and printing industry, the metal industry, fiber industry, leather industry, paper industry, oil industry and polymer industry, and wash water from flue gas treatment plants.
The FIGURE depicts an installation suitable for carrying out the process of the invention.
In the case of flue gas treatment, the method according to the invention can, for example, be carried out in an installation such as is shown diagrammatically in the figure. According to the figure, the flue gas contaminated with sulphur dioxide is fed via 1 into a scrubber 2. In this scrubber the flue gas is treated in counter-current with wash water, which is supplied via 3. The treated flue gas is removed via 4 or further treated. The sulphite-containing wash water is fed via line 5 to an anaerobic reactor 6. An electron donor, such as ethanol, is also fed to the anaerobic reactor 6, via 7. Line 5 or reactor 6 is provided with a heating installation (heat exchanger) for raising the temperature of the anaerobic treatment (not shown). The gas formed in the reactor, which is essentially CO2 and to a lesser extent H2 S, is removed via 8 to a gas treatment installation (not shown). The anaerobic effluent from the reactor is fed via 9 to an aerobic or partially aerobic reactor 10, to which air is also supplied, via 11. The excess air is removed via 12. The sulphurcontaining effluent is fed via 13 to a settling tank 14, where the sulphur is separated off and is removed via 15. The effluent from the sulphur settling is removed via 16 and can be re-used as wash water. A fraction can be removed via 17 and if necessary replenishing water, which can also contain buffer and nutrients, is supplied at 18.
Effluent with a sulphur content of about 1 g/1 and a COD (chemical oxygen demand) in the form of acetate of likewise 1 g/1 was treated in a treatment installation according to the figure using a residence time of 4 hours. At an anaerobic reaction temperature of 30° C., 100% of the acetate was converted to methane and no sulphate reduction took place. After the temperature was raised to 55° C., the methane formation decreased and this became negligibly small after about one week. 95% of the acetate added was now consumed for the sulphate reduction. The methane formation distinctly increased again only after a few months.

Young named as Wasps head coach
ESPNscrum Staff
June 30, 2011
Young will arrive at Adams Park in time for the 2011-12 season © Getty Images
Wasps have announced former Cardiff Blues coach Dai Young as their new director of rugby.
Young joins the Aviva Premiership side on a four-year deal from the Cardiff Blues where he has been in charge since 2002, first in a head coach capacity and then as director of rugby. He will take the reins from the start of July in time for the 2011-12 season that will begin with a high-profile clash against defending champions Saracens on September 3.
Wasps announcement comes after weeks of speculation during which it appeared that the Blues were unwilling to let their man go, but it now appears that the two clubs have reached an agreement to allow Young to make the journey across the Severn Bridge.
The former Blues coach enjoyed a successful time at the region, during which he took them to Anglo-Welsh Cup glory in 2009 and to the Heineken Cup semi-finals in 2008. Young also excelled at the top level of the game, winning 51 caps for Wales and travelling on three British & Irish Lions tours. During his time at the Blues, he also coached the Barbarians on their European tours for the past four years.
Wasps had an average season in 2010-11 by their high standards, finishing ninth and missing out on Heineken Cup qualification. Young is now charged with the task of returning the two-time Heineken Cup champions back to their former glory. "This is an enormous opportunity for me. I have loved my time with Cardiff but I am looking forward to a new experience in a new environment," Young said. "There is a hugely talented group of players there to work and the challenge to help get a great club into a position where they are once again challenging for success was too good to turn down.
Wasps chief executive Chris Thomas was understandably delighted to have finally got his man. "We are delighted to welcome Dai to London Wasps and we believe he is exactly the right person to take the club forward," Thomas said. "Dai brings a wealth of experience to the club and this is an appointment for the long-term. We remain an ambitious club and want to be competing at the highest level. Dai is the person to help us achieve these ambitions.
"Dai has done a sterling job in Cardiff, developing a host of young talent into international quality players as well as building an excellent team with strong spirit. We were hugely impressed with his vision for London Wasps which is in keeping with our key objective of developing sustained long-term success.
"We have worked very hard in recent months to put together a squad for next season which will give us far more balance and Dai will lead a squad which combines some hugely exciting young talent as well as some hard-nosed top level experience. "
The club have made ten signings ahead of next season including England hooker Steve Thompson, fly-half Nicky Robinson and former All Black Ross Filipo.

I have some code that is a simple div with a css stylesheet that has:
#upgrade-message {
margin: 15px 0px;
padding: 15px 10px 15px 50px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 10px center;
color: #00529B;
background-color: #BDE5F8;
background-image: url('../../../../templates/yoo_vanilla/images/typography/box_info.png');
display: block;
clear: left;
float: right;
#upgrade-message a:link {
color: black;
The code is (in php but you get the idea):
echo "
A message: Upgrade now!
";
The a:link part of my css is not getting applied. Basically I just want to change the "Upgrade" text to black. If I put an inline style it works great.
I can't see any conflict on my site as I check it with Firebug and the other parts of the css with
upgrade-message are applying. I also see the css in firebug but it doesn't seem to apply. I've even tried this fiddle to make sure it was the right syntax.
Can anyone shed any light on why the css with
a:link is not applying?

How drougt tolerant are your drougt resistant plants?
I started a bed of cone flowers and black eye susan two seasons ago, along with several Miscanthus and Fountain grasses. This summer, they experineced one of the most severe drought in decade. The ornamental grasses are virtually unaffected, stay green and have just begun flowering. The Black Eye Susan and Cone flowers are doing poorly. Many have turned brown with a few green leaves, and flowering have diminished in size and quantity. I know they will recover next year but now they just look like dead weed. How are your drought tolerant plants doing?
I have purple coneflowers in 3 areas, 2 got watered via soaker hose 2 or 3 times, during July/Aug. The third area received no water because it's in front of a room about to be renovated, and with conserving water, figured don't waste it here. They actually stood up to the drought quite well. All three areas are now dead stalks and seed heads, which the yellow chickodees are enjoying. Everything was forced to bloom 2 weeks early or more this year because of the heat wave in April. I also have black eye susan in 2 areas, 1 with water, 1 without. They are surviving in the unwatered area, but look pretty bad. The grasses did ok without my watering. I'm going to put in more of them, plus other drought tolerant shrubs. No more rhododendren planting!
yucca, cactus, mesquite and palo verde are fine in tx. mike
My yard is dead right now (middle of a landscaping project), but my lemon tree, avocado, and a
grapevine, have all gone without water since April (it only rains from November to April here) and we only got 6" of rain this past winter. Peruvian pepper tree, most native plants along with your usual garden herbs (thyme, rosemary, oregano, sage), bird of paradise, gazania, agapanthus and bermuda (goes dormant, but no amount of drought will kill it) can all tolerate these conditions here (some of these won't tolerate total drought in the hot inland areas). Also, what is drought tolerant in one area may not be in another (Azaleas and Rhododendrons are very drought tolerant in Seattle) so answers to your question will vary a good bit.
Coneflowers (aside from the "Mexican Hat" type) are not exactly drought tolerant. I never had much luck with them in my low/no water areas. Globe mallow has done well this year (no water aside from rain) and the desert 4 O'clock has done well too. The Bearded Iris have survived, but did not bloom.
Fairest of the months! Ripe summer's queen
The hey-day of the year
With robes that gleam with sunny sheen
Sweet August doth appear. -Â Â R. Combe Miller
In my garden these plants were unaffected by the drought: shasta daisy "Becky", coreopsis "Moonbeam", artemisia "Powis Castle", Gaura "Siskiyou pink", Russian sage, lavender, caryopteris, Sedum "Autumn Joy", catmint, baby's breath, Solomon's seal (planted in shade in lots of compost), azaleas, Miscanthus,
The following have not so much as wilted during the hottest, driest weather: Buddleia, Caryopteris, Nepeta, Hibiscus 'Lord Baltimore' (!), Lantana 'Miss Huff', Ricinus, Verbena bonariensis, Asclepias curassavica, Asclepias tuberosa. Oh, and herbs rosemary, thyme, and sage.
The following might wilt a bit in the mid-day sun, but revive quickly and without any damage: Cleome, Ceratotheca, Datura, Celosia 'Purple Flamingo' (great foliage plant!).
Daylilies and bearded irises are extremely drought-tolerant, but the foliage looks pretty crummy all summer.
Cannas have been surprisingly drought-tolerant.
Our lavendar may see 1/2 inch of water between 6/15 and 8/30, if it's lucky. It's gone from maybe a foot in diameter to over three feet!
I have also some tall, small green leafy with tops ending in small yellow or white flower, plants, which I can't figure what they are (builder put them in). They are "protected" by the roof from rain, etc., during the winter rainy months in Seattle, and during the summer drough months, I don't water them. And they stay green all the time.
Some great ones are sedums, cactuses, lamb's ear, blanket flower, May Night salvia, coreopsis. I have all of these and they virtually need no extra water than teh little I give them through a drip system which is a lot more efficient than overhead sprayers. they don't get much from the drip system either.
I love the blanket flower, It is really hardy.
I'll let you know next spring--after the worst drought I can remember in my lifetime we'll see what comes back again. I hope and pray that we have a snowy winter even though that can make driving tough. This is so sad seeing all the areas in such need of rain. The farmers in our area and many miles around are taking a hit also, as only about 25% of the corn crop planted will reap a harvest.
One of the best things I had going here this summer is a new bed of hosta(the cheapy ones from Walmart) impatients and an elephant ear. Everything in it did wonderful, and the surprising thing is its under the shade of my BIGGG magnolia. Only thing I can figure is all the mulch i used helped it.
Other than that most everything looks pretty ratty, and I lost a bunch of periennals. My hibiscus did well, so did holly hocks, daylilies, and big sedums. My ice plants would be doing great if I could keep my feet off it.
Nobody has mentioned crepe myrtle (Lagerstroemia) yet. I have one on a bone-dry hillside and not only has it shown no sign of drought stress, it has been blooming sporadically since its initial glorious burst of bloom in mid-summer.
Crepe mrytle Have been doing brilliantly here in Sydney, Australia through our drought. Oleanders are also looking pretty good. The agapanthus were as neautiful as ever for Christmas but maybe didn't last as long.
Our coneflower are in poor shape but have rudbeckia maxima doing well for the first time in 3 years in spite of low watering schedule. Our heat zone here is high, and I suspect that's why the coneflower caves when coupled with low water. Our daylilies are blooming like crazy but foliage is scruffy and burned. Rosa glauca, buddleia, all sedums, parrotia tree, hornbeams, pines, helianthemum, all penstemon, grapes, junipers (duh), crabapples, lavender, santolina, ornamental warm season grasses,even some viburnum with a bit of late afternoon protection, all doing extremely well. Where I'm not having success is under silver maple trees. Have replanted that twice now.
My roses do very well in this heat with barely any water, although they don't produce very many blooms. My crepe myrtle does well, but same thing. Here in San Bernardino, we are having the worst drought we have ever had. Last year, it didn't get very much water, and in the beginning of summer dropped all its leaves. We started soaking it once a week, and now we have beautiful blooms.
My salvias do great also, but they do get droopy when they need water.
My top drought plants are artemesia, regal geraniums, gerbera daisies, irises, daylilies, valerian, guara, evening primrose, mimosa and olive trees (I don't ever water the olives). They can go a week in temps over 100 without being watered and look great!
This was a brutal year. Planted some new things in May-June and most have sucumbed. I have been trying to add only drought resistent plants; some do well, others are not as great as expected.
The plant that did the best was Delosperma ("iceplant") by far. I love this plant, cute evergreen leaves and wonderful bright flowers. I think I could have a garden bed with just this plant. I have a fuschia one, a yellow one and an orange flowered one so far but I am on the lookout for more. A somewhat similar plant, Mesembryanthemum did poorly but maybe because it was newly planted.
Others that did reasonably well are: artemesia, lavender, coreopsis, blanket flower, yarrow, dianthus, lewsisia, asiatic lillies, lemon balm (melissa), rudbeckia (but 1st year was tough) and Centaurea.
I was suprised that salal, asters and echinacea did not do well at all.
Thank goodness the rain and cool weather has arrived!
I've got a creosote bush in my front yard, apparently they can survive 3 years without any precipitation. It loves the 10-12 inches of rain we get every year here and looks all green, fat and happy. I also have a saguaro and a few barrel cacti that thrive on that amount of rain. As for non-natives, rosemary and bouganvillea require water maybe once or twice a summer. Thats not bad considering the 105 degree days with 10% humidity
