THANK YOU! > CDs and Vinyl on Sale
We want to thank everyone who came out and celebrated with us at our 10 year anniversary show last month. A special shout-out to Con Hunley, Scott Miller, Roger Alan Wade and all the folks who travelled from out of state to be there. It was so humbling to have so many friends and family still come out and rock with us after all these years. You ALL are awesome!

Anytime You're Ready 7″ Vinyl
Sometimes a decade passes before you even know it.
It's been 10 years since Mic Harrison, former lead co-singer-songwriter of The V-roys, and the members of pop-punk favorites The High Score threw in their lot together and began playing bars, beautiful theaters and festivals from Bonnaroo to Mucklewain. During that time the group released four albums, drank an ocean of beer, made memories to last two or three lifetimes, and created suitcases full of songs that you really oughta hear if you haven't. Americana music doesn't get any better.
For the band's 10th anniversary, the members decided not to take a look backwards with a compilation album, but a look forward with an old-fashioned double-sided single that is a pure celebration.
At the Knoxville, Tenn., music festival Waynestock, in 2013, Mic Harrison And The High Score combined talents with country legend Con Hunley for a historic performance that music hounds in the town are still wagging their tongues about. Hunley kicked off that set by telling the band "Anytime you're ready Boys, let 'er go." Mic, a guy who can hear a song in your breakfast order, decided to take that line and make it into a classic country single about catching that woman when the fool who has her now gives her up.
When it came time to record "Anytime You're Ready," Con was more than happy to add some guest vocals and moral support. The result is a terrific collaboration that should make fans of Mic and the High Score, fans of Con Hunley, and just regular fans of great country music mighty happy.
It's backed by the country rocker "Broken Hearted In A Single Wide," a song inspired by a story Con told during the group's first practice together. You'll have to catch Mic or Con to get them to tell you the full story, but it might take some bribing.
If this single is a preview of the next decade, there's a lot of good music and memories ahead.
— Wayne Bledsoe¸ Knoxville News Sentinel entertainment writer and host of WDVX-FM's "All Over the Road"
Preorder the "Anytime You're Ready" 7″ vinyl now by clicking the PayPal logo above! Records will ship the week of November 17th.
10 Years o' Doin'

The MARELITT Toolkits are online! March 30, 2015Posted by euccmed in Publications.
Tags: litter
1 comment so far
EUCC Coastal & Marine Union (EUCC) and EUCC Mediterranean Centre, both partners of the MARELITT project, are happy to announce that the Toolkit for marine litter retention projects and the Toolkit for derelict fishing gear retrieval projects are now online.
MARELITT is an EU-funded project led by Milieu and aimed at identifying and disseminating good practices for the removal of litter and derelict fishing gear from the sea. During 2013 and 2014, the MARELITT team assessed marine litter retention by professional fishermen (sometimes referred to as 'fishing for litter'), and derelict fishing gear retrieval projects in Europe. Following the assessment, the MARELITT team supported five pilot projects in the four European regional seas in developing their project plan. Out of this work, a series of good practices was identified and compiled in the Toolkits.
The Toolkits are for anyone who wants to set up a project and learn from the experience of previous initiatives. They do not provide a single recipe for setting up litter or gear removal projects but provide advice on how to overcome problems that organisations often face when setting up this type of projects. The Toolkits broadly follow the different steps of a project and will support project managers in planning, budget, involvement of participants, removal techniques and management on the ground, monitoring and evaluation, and seeking funding.
The Toolkits are available online and in printable versions. A number of tools are also downloadable on the website and can be tailored by project managers. Please feel free to share the Toolkits with your colleagues and networks.
We hope you will enjoy the reading!
The International Sea Turtle Symposium March 18, 2015Posted by euccmed in Events&Training.

add a comment
Around 34 years ago, a handful of young scientists whose love of marine turtles was equalled only by their specialist knowledge of them, organised the first American workshop in Waverly, Georgia, dedicated to "the protection and study of sea turtles": About 70 people took part.
The initiative proved such a success that it became established, and since then has been organised on an annual basis, hosted by a different country and on a different continent each time – but always one that enjoys a relationship with marine turtles. Gradually the number of delegates annually has reached 1,000 and attendance figures seem still to be rising!
In 2002 the workshop morphed into an Association and was renamed the International Sea Turtle Symposium (ISTS). Its aim is to present and share the most recent research findings, studies, protection initiatives, environmental education programmes, and new techniques carried out or devised by scientific researchers, NGOs, students, educators and others.
Each Symposium now features two auctions that are organised by teams of many volunteers. All the items offered for sale are donated by the delegates themselves and almost all include a turtle – often portrayed in a humorous way. The proceeds, which can amount to several thousand dollars, are used to fund the attendance of students at the following Symposium, giving young people an opportunity of presenting their work and competing for prizes. On the final evening there is a party for all ages that usually carries on into the small hours!
Another feature of the Symposium is the "vendor's tables" at which NGOs, craftspeople, publishers, manufacturers of technical equipment (like satellite tracking devices) and more, present their wares – all turtle-related, of course. MEDASSET usually attends the ISTS every 2-3 years. The associated costs, (fees, travel, accommodation, preparation, etc.), make it effectively impossible for us to take part more frequently. Last April we travelled to New Orleans for the 34th Annual Symposium – a journey of 16 hours – and yet we felt it had been worth the effort as the team returned brimming with new ideas and with renewed commitment, enthusiasm and energy… and an even greater passion for the work it does.
In 2015 the 35th International Sea Turtle Symposium will take place between the 19th and 24th of April in Turkey, at Dalaman. MEDASSET will be presenting the special children's activity "You see the Difference a turtle does not" , a poster on "New Observations of Sea Turtle Trade in Alexandria, Egypt" and running a workshop on Novel technologies for environmental campaigning. In addition, our Trustee Anna Stamatiou, is chairing Video Night, coordinating a Beauty Pageant during the Live Auction and Vice President of MEDASSET Greece, Professor John Pantis, is co-chairing the Poster Session.

ADRIPLAN STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOP. A Marine Spatial Planning exercise in the North Adriatic Sea February 9, 2015Posted by euccmed in Events&Training.
Tags: MaritimeSpatialPlanning
add a comment
4th March 2015, Piran/Strunjan, Slovenia
Aim of the Workshop
According to the new Directive
"Establishing a Framework for Maritime
Spatial Planning – MSP", adopted in July
2015, EU coastal Member States are
requested to implement maritime spatial
plans by 31 March 2021.
The pilot project ADRIPLAN, Adriatic and
Ionian maritime spatial planning, funded
by the European Commission (DG MARE),
aims to deliver a common approach to
cross-border MSP in the Adriatic-Ionian
Region, zooming into two focus areas, one
in the Northern Adriatic and the other in
Southern Adriatic – Northern Ionian.
The workshop has the main objective of
performing a real "planning exercise", in
which the participants will build a
"possible" maritime spatial plan in the
Northern Adriatic Sea. Stakeholders with
knowledge and expertise in different
maritime sectors will identify the possible
planning options and elaborate a spatial
allocation (zoning) draft in a proposed
area. Taking into consideration the
peculiarities of the area, as well as the
strategic needs and objectives emerged
from the ADRIPLAN Initial Assessment
and the previous stakeholders
consultations, three themes have been
selected for playing a pivotal role in the
planning exercise:
• Energy, including (e.g.) LNG terminals,
Hydrocarbon investigation and
exploitation, power cables and
• Maritime transport, including
maritime transport activities related to
• Ports development, with a focus on
the enhancement of intermodality.
Around each pivotal themes, ALL the other
sectoral themes will be considered, in
order to compose a comprehensive and
coherent plan for ALL marine and
maritime activities, including TOURISM,
which represent an economic priority in all
the Adriatic Ionian Region. Specific issues
will be tackled during the workshop, taking
into account their cross-border relevance,
the local problems, the conflicts between
different uses of other sectors/activities
and the threats to the environment. The
workshop will be structured in an
interactive way with presentations and
discussion rounds.
Further information about the programme
of the workshop will be uploaded in the
web site http://www.adriplan.eu .
Plastic waste dominates seafloor litter in Mediterranean and Black Sea surveys February 5, 2015Posted by euccmed in Uncategorized.

Source: Science for Environment Policy
Researchers have trawled coastal areas of the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea for waste and found up to 1211 items of litter per km2. Plastic bags and bottles were some of the most commonly found items. They present the results in a recent study, which they say supports Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) implementation, as well as efforts to discourage plastic carrier bag use.
Marine litter has a range of damaging impacts. For instance, marine creatures can become entangled in floating nets or eat the litter. Floating litter can also transport non-native species into new environments and tiny plastic fragments, 'microplastics', have been shown to be long-term sources of pollutants, such as phthalates.
This study, conducted under the EU PERSEUS project1, assessed marine litter on the seafloor of five areas in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea — three gulfs…

CleanSea consortium meets in Amsterdam to share preliminary results and prepare roadmap for clean seas February 3, 2015Posted by euccmed in EUCC News, Events&Training, Research&Projects.

The CleanSea Project team met at IVM-VU University Amsterdam on 28 and 29 January 2015, marking the end of the second project year. Preliminary results were presented and discussed among project partners, who left the meeting prepared for the work to be done in the final year of the project (project runs January 2013 to December 2015). The meeting gave attention to a special outcome of the project: a "Roadmap" to a future litter-free sea, a document (in preparation) that will integrate project results across natural and social science research and provide guidance to policy makers and others tackling marine litter across European seas.
Several staff of the EUCC Mediterranean Centre attended the meeting as communication leaders and Mediterranean regional partner conducting research on socioeconomics and governance.
Researchers discussed aspects such as the biological effects of microplastics at the level of organisms, populations and ecosystems. These particles are caused by fragmentation, a topic also being studied in an indoor 'plastic soup' test system within the project. A newly designed microlitter sampler has been tested and fine-tuned and promises to be a valuable tool for future research and monitoring of the water column. Hyperspectral imaging, Raman spectrometry and mass spectrometry techniques are three approaches to identify plastics in environmental samples that are being applied in the project. Field sampling is continuing to produce micro- and macrolitter data in the European marine environment, some of which is also being used as input for the modeling exercises within the project.
Economic costs of marine litter in the fisheries sector, ports and on recreational beaches are being studied, as well as beach users' perceptions in the three regional seas (North, Black and Mediterranean). The progress towards analysis of best practices and short-and long-term policy options to reduce marine litter in Europe was presented. These analyses encompass not only regulatory and market-based instruments but also more bottom-up approaches (e.g. co-management, communicative) to identify points of intervention in different areas of the manufactured product system that could be used to reduce marine litter. The project will address innovations and policy integration as part of the mix that can help Europe reach Good Environmental Status (GES).
The Black Sea Commission was represented at this meeting by BSC Officer Ms. Irina Makarenko, who provided advice and input from the perspective of this important Regional Sea Commission.
CleanSea is entering a crucial stage of validating and integrating the wealth of knowledge and data coming out of the project, which can be transferred to a variety of stakeholders. As a final project dissemination event, the CleanSea Symposium and Documentary Film Presentation will be held on the 3rd of December 2015 at the EYE Film Institute, a spectacular venue in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This event is open to all interested stakeholders and the public. Save the date!

overwintering of new cuttings
I have been pretty successful getting cuttings to root,
but i seem to have little luck getting them through the winter here. The first year i wintered them outside in my nursery with a lots of straw mulch and lost most of them. This year i kept them inside in my garage where it is not as bitter, but does get to freezing. Still lost most of them. Any advice on overwintering would be great,
i plant mine end of sept in veggy garden "had about 200 plants" ,water untill first hard frost/freeze"mid november".Most survived winter
Butterfly bushes,montuak daisys,and wegilia.Most were in 1 gal pots for about 4 to 6 weeks before transplanted ,so they had a pretty good root system going.
I have a light set-up, actually two, one in the basement, one in a corner of my south-facing attached greenhouse. I overwinter just-rooted roses, clematis, bougainvillea, and others under fluorescents. You have to keep an eye out for pests, especially spider mites. When it's warm in spring I transplant them to slightly larger pots and grow them outdoors. Then they go into the ground or into a cold frame for the second winter.
Hope this helps.
I have some tree cuttings and seedlings that I plan to overwinter in an unheated garage (zone 5). This may be a bad idea, but would it be wise to protect the seedlings and cuttings by placing them in styrofoam containers during the cold winter months? I could add a bit of snow inside the containers for moisture from time to time.
Anyone tried this or is it a bad idea??

This woman's son and his girlfriend wheeled her by the front of the stage where she could see Willie Nelson up close last night. Then, Janis offered her chair to the woman, and the son carried her back so she could sit in the front row. She wanted to stand at the fence, with assistance, right in front of Willie. Willie sang to her all night, and gave a bandanna to a security guard to bring to the woman. Another sweet moment at a Willie Nelson & Family concert.

"All My Favorite Singers are Willie Nelson" — new Astral Swans AlbumWednesday, February 18th, 2015
Not only is Dan Mangan our current cover star, but his Arts & Crafts imprintMadic Records is about to release its very first full-length. Astral Swans' album All My Favorite Singers Are Willie Nelson will be out on February 24, and it's available to stream right now on Exclaim.ca.
These 12 tracks are extremely minimal, with barebones strumming and hushed singing supporting by a few pattering rhythms, avant-garde synths and psychedelic production touches. There's a hint of buoyant brightness to the acoustic groove of "Beginning of the End," but the morbid lyrics set a dark mood that's typical of songwriter Matthew Swann.
Elsewhere, each line in "September" is punctuated with a disorienting blast of echo, while "Attention" trades out the usual synth abstractions for strings to create an ominous orchestral soundscape. Swann used to perform as Extra Happy Ghost!!!, and this album acts as a natural successor to 2011's Modern Horses.
Hear it all below. Astral Swans will be touring with Mangan in the coming weeks.
Another Willie Nelson fan: Miss Tess and the TalkbacksFriday, February 13th, 2015
The female chip off the Willie Nelson block of songwriting had no problem settling into Brooklyn's Flatbush section.
"A lot of people think of Willie as a country guy, but he has a lot of styles mixed in," Miss Tess, who covers Nelson's "Night Life" on "The Love I Have For You," says. "I don't like to pigeonhole myself into one style. I guess it started with a rock 'n' roll background."
by: Jeff Harrell
Of the seven songs on Miss Tess & The Talkbacks' new release, "The Love I Have For You," six are covers of some of her favorite songwriters — Willie Nelson, Randy Newman, Bonnie Raitt, Neil Young, the original Hank Williams and even the enigmatic Mississippi songwriter Ted Hawkins, whose "Sorry You're Sick" leads off the record.
"Part of that was to, first of all, kind of shed some light on some of our influences that people might not have picked up on," Miss Tess says by phone from her home in Brooklyn, N.Y.
"The bands in my interest level were more country influenced, more rock 'n' roll, more '50s," she says. "I like Neil Young, I like Willie Nelson … I thought this would be a cool little project, and it's nice to sometimes do a recording project and not to have all the pressures of a songwriter."
The songwriter, who insists on using her stage name both onstage and off because her last name "doesn't flow," is the daughter of musical parents from the Maryland side of the Washington, D.C., area who first began taking piano lessons at the age of 4.
Things got serious for Miss Tess as a teenager when she started playing guitar to records and exploring the sounds of a range of influential guitarists, from Charlie Christian to Joe Pass.
"And I really love Chet Atkins and Les Paul, and all those guys in the '50s, when country and jazz and blues and rock 'n' roll were kind of like melding together," she says.
As for applying the guitar to her first songwriting effort, "I think it originally stemmed from severe boredom," she says. "I was working at an art gallery doing administrative stuff and selling oil paintings. My boss would leave me alone for real long periods of time, and I remember just sitting there at the desk, fooling around and saying, 'I'm just gonna write a song.'"
Then she hit the road in her car by herself, which resulted in more songs.
"Being in the car with yourself for long periods of time is great for songwriting," Miss Tess says. "I had my guitar, and I would stop … it was an introspective time."
Miss Tess formed her first band in Boston, where she moved in 2006. With a horn player and a sound that leaned toward jazz and folk with a New Orleans flavor, Miss Tess and the Bon Ton Parade performed regularly at local clubs and established Miss Tess as one of Boston's premier songwriters until 2010, when she took her act to New York City.
The female chip off the Willie Nelson block of songwriting had no problem settling into Brooklyn's Flatbush section.
"A lot of people think of Willie as a country guy, but he has a lot of styles mixed in," Miss Tess, who covers Nelson's "Night Life" on "The Love I Have For You," says. "I don't like to pigeonhole myself into one style. I guess it started with a rock 'n' roll background."
So how do the country jazz stylings of Miss Tess & The Talkbacks go over in Brooklyn?
"Actually there's a big scene for old-time string band music, bluegrass, swing music," Miss Tess says.
Nashville, is next on Miss Tess's list of places to settle into. When she takes the stage with her Talkbacks — guitarist Thomas Bryan Eaton, bassist James Gascoyne, and drummer Sam Zucchini — Friday at The Livery in Benton Harbor before returning to South Bend for a show Feb. 24 at LangLab, Miss Tess will be in the midst of planning her move to the country music capital of the world in April.
This time, she won't be alone.
"We have a bunch of friends, including people from New York, moving to Nashville," Miss Tess says. "We're gonna have our own little built-in community there. It's gonna feel like the Brooklyn of Tennessee."
• Who: Miss Tess & The Talkbacks
• When: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 24
• Where: LangLab, 1302 High St., South Bend
• Cost: $10-$8

Another Willie Nelson fan: Jamie Oliver, of Big Tobacco and the PickersThursday, February 12th, 2015
Paradise Blog: There's this picture of you with Willie Nelson. When was that taken and what were the circumstances?
Jamie Oliver: That picture was taken across from Tootsie's, on Broadway, in Nashville, last year. I was in town to see Willie play at The Woods at Fontanal, formerly owned by Country Music Hall of Fame member Barbara Mandrell. My little bro had arranged for some special treatment at the show (backstage, food/drinks – you know, the royal treatment) as he knew the promoter well. I flew in a couple days ahead of my bro early because a)
I love Nashville b) I like vacationing alone. It wasn't my first time in Nashville so I really took advantage by soaking up as much music as I could, on my own clock. The concert was on a Friday night. That Friday I woke up early, and got myself happy. I headed out onto the street for a coffee and smoke or two. Bands start early there, full 6 or 7 piece bands, so I thought I'd sit down and listen until my bro arrived. Watching those Broadway St boys pick and sing, is always a treat for me.
Anyways, at about 11AM I stumbled out of Tootsie's and saw Willie's bus, but no action around it. I figured that they were picking him up from a hotel or what have you. I thought that it would either be minutes, or hours before he came out, so I walked the other way thinking I'd probably get to meet him later that night at the show. I had only ever shook his hand once in Toronto, and was so awe struck at that time that I don't think I made any sense – I don't think mattered to Willie anyway, he had a smile on his face and some squinty eyes.
At any rate, by chance, I smoked my last cigarette. That meant I had to turn back around and walk back to the hotel to go get a fresh pack. As I was walking back, I looked up – coming out of the rink where the Nashville Predators play, 20 feet from me, was Willie! He was standing there talking to Bee Spears (his bass man). I had met Bee before. So I walked up and just started talking to them. I remember that he made me feel like I was talking to a couple of old friends that I had just run into on the street. It was early enough in the day that the tourists weren't out in droves yet, so we chatted for about 10 minutes without him being swarmed – I told him I'd see him at the show that night, asked for a picture and walked away with a buzz that lasted a year so far.
He smelled like how I remember my grandpa smelled. My little bro missed him by about an hour, and was happy for me, but a little beat up that I got to meet him an hour earlier. At the show that day, we hung on the bus with my friend Budrock, who has done Willie's lights for 40+ years, and Bee, and few of the other road crew guys, until Willie went on. I sat and watched the show side stage with my bro – it was incredible. For part of the show, I sat on an amp, with Paul English (Willie's long-time drummer who now only plays a few songs per show). It was a memorable day. If I'd died in my sleep later that night, it would have been with a smile on my face.
Paradise Blog: Why would fans of Willie Nelson and his brand of music be entertained by a Big Tobacco and the Pickers show?
Jamie Oliver: The one thing I have always loved so dearly about Willie Nelson's performances was his relationship and on-stage camaraderie with his band. The fact that they are called Willie Nelson and the Family speaks volumes. As a band, we have always felt that to be of the utmost importance. We are a family. We've been together a long time, we fight, we laugh, we are truthful with each other, we are best friends. If even an ounce of that comes through in our live show, then I'm happy. Every time I have seen Willie play, I smile. I think our shows are lighthearted enough to make people laugh and smile. We are having an enormous amount of fun and hope to keep on doing that for many years. I think that Willie fans would pick up on that.
Paradise Blog: You do several Willie Nelson songs in an average Big Tobacco and the Pickers set, is it just because you love the songs, or because they fit in with the aesthetic of the band, or what?
Jamie Oliver: We do Willie songs because we love Willie songs. The fact that they fit with the aesthetic of the band helps, but plays no part in what we play on. I know bits and pieces of too many Willie songs to count, and I typically drag the poor band through as many of them as I can finish, when we get together. Don't get me wrong though, the band loves Willie too, but they each have their favorite writers/performers.

Willie Nelson, "I appreciate that you remember me"Tuesday, January 20th, 2015
A woman approached Willie Nelson after a concerrt.
"I met you in San Antonio five years ago. But I don't suppose you remember me.', she said.
Willie Nelson said, "No, I'm sorry, but I don't. But I sure appreciate that you remember me."

kitchen lighting update causing color problem
We are updating a few things in our kitchen and all was well until I replaced two recessed lights with two pendant lights over my island. We still have recessed lights around the perimeter of the kitchen (most of which shine directly on counters) and over the kitchen table area. The recessed lights are 4" cans, and we are using 50w halogen floods (PAR20, 30 degree spread) in them. The new pendants have incandescent sockets with a 100w limit. My new counters are a speckled Silestone (Blue Sahara), and the specks are a mix of warm and cool colors. My problem is that after replacing the cans with the pendants, the island counter looks like a completely different color than the perimeter counters! The perimeter counters look warm; the browns/beiges/caramels take over. However, the island counter looks very cool and grey!
I've been buying all different types of incandescent bulbs for the pendants to try to achieve the same warm look for the island counter but I haven't found the right bulb. I've just about concluded that the difference has something to do with the fact that the flood lights in the cans are PAR and the other lights I've tried in the pendants are not, but I still don't know what to do about it.
Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thanks for any and all advice!
You have gone from recessed to pendant lighting over the island resulting in a focused pendant as opposed to the defused light provided by the cans. Are the pendants on a seperate circuit so they can be dimmed by seperately?
Do you live in an area that might have a Lamps Plus store or some other professional lighting store. Perhaps your answer might be found there if one exists that would solve your problem.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Texasredhead: with non-flood lights in the pendants, it seems the light from the pendants is more diffused than that from the cans. I can get the same color on the island counter by putting PAR 20 halogen floods in the pendants, but then I've really got a "spot" of bight light on the counter instead of the overall light I want. This is happening because the pendants are so much closer to the counter than are the cans. I've talked to a couple of light bulb companies today and they don't really have a solution for me.
Marcydc: I have not tried LED or flourescent lights in the pendants, but maybe I should. I've tried just about everything else!
Satco makes a lamp called a 50Par20 "soft par" .
Thay have sand blasted the lens of the lamp, so you'll still get the same colour output from the lamp , but no "hot spot" on your floor or counter.
These soft pars are the only lamps I use for general or ambient light.
I painted my kitchen walls blue, perhaps Sporty Blue by Sherwin Williams. It is a strong color, but it brings in the colors in our pool area right outside the kitchen French doors and I like that.
The overall colors you see in Sahara depend on your lighting, as I realized when looking for the right bulbs for my new pendant lights. When light is shining directly on Sahara, you see all the warmer neutrals running through it. When the lights are off, or if there are areas not as well-lit, it goes very cool in tone, kind of gray-blue. I used honed limestone for my backsplash, which I would say is in the warm tones, and I'm very happy with it.
Good luck with your project!

San Diego PD reports positive results from study on TASER video cameras
The San Diego Police Department recently released a report showing the use of AXON body-worn video cameras by TASER International has led to fewer complaints by residents and less use of force by officers. The report that was developed by the Police Department for the City Council's Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods Committee showed that complaints fell 41%, total allegations were reduced by 60% and use of "personal body" force by officers dropped by 47%. The use of pepper spray was also reduced by 31%. The results from this study reflect comparisons to prior periods in which body-worn cameras were not deployed.

S.D. police data makes 'compelling' case for TASER cameras, says Craig-Hallum
Data released by San Diego's Police Department showed significant reductions in complaints, allegations, and use of force after the department's deployment of TASER body cameras, said Craig-Hallum, which noted this as the first example of the benefits of body cameras from a "major" police force test. The firm thinks the study could have "significant" implications for other police forces testing and considering body cameras and reiterates its Buy rating and $30 price target on TASER shares.

George Zimmerman is suing NBC for what he claims was defamation when the network edited his 911 call to police after the shooting of Trayvon Martin to make it sound like he was racist.
The former neighborhood watch volunteer filed the lawsuit seeking an undisclosed amount of money in Seminole County, outside Orlando. Also named in the complaint were three reporters covering the story for NBC or an NBC-owned television station.

Zimmerman's wife, 25-year-old Shellie Zimmerman, was charged on Tuesday for perjury, or lying to the court. Prosecutors say that she blatantly lied at Zimmerman's April bail hearing when she said that they had no assets, aware that her husband had a Paypal account set up and had collected more than $100,000 from donations.

It was a peaceful, breezy spring day in Brooklyn, New York in 1994. It wasn't cold enough for a coat, yet it was perfect for a light hooded sweater. I wore a tan Timberland hoodie over my Catholic school uniform to disguise my preppy getup. This day I took the long way home; I wanted extra time to listen to A Tribe Called Quest's latest album, Midnight Marauders, on my portable Walkman (Yes! Cassettes!). I put on my hoodie, popped on my headphones and let Q-Tip and Phife dole out ear candy.

Monotropa uniflora Indian Pipe
Is it conceivable to grow Monotropa uniflora Indian Pipe in the garden (the woodland garden.....) Has anyone done it???? Advice tips......
A friend sent me some indian pipes last spring. They "survived" for a few weeks before turning black and dying back. I am asumming they have alot more going on under the soil than they do usually above the soil. I have read they only come out when its especially wet. You might have them one wet year and not for a few more until you get the right conditions again.
waplummer, they arent parasitic. They live off of fungus and some stuff found in good (duff) soil.
NOT parasitic.
here's a couple of links
My 2 cents,
"Some botanists believe that the roots work in symbiotic conjunction with certain soil fungi to supplement its diet with food from live tree roots, which would make the plant a parasite as well as a saprophyte."
Not one to attempt bareroot that's for sure. Where they are common, you'll find many. In New York state (where I grew up) they are quite common. Not sure about their protection status, check with state guidelines. Interestingly enough there are alot here in Japan as well although I doubt its the same species. Morphologically they look identical to me.
I think the key word here would be BELIEVE... reread it.
""Some botanists believe that the roots work in symbiotic conjunction with certain soil fungi to supplement its diet with food from live tree roots, which would make the plant a parasite as well as a saprophyte."
I've READ (and NO that doesnt make me an expert!) that it survives on dead stuff from the soil. I CAN tell you that the ones I had, came barerooted and managed to survive for a number of weeks before it got real hot and dry and died back. That would indicate TO ME that since they weren't sucking the life out of a tree via it's roots that my good black humus rich soil was doing the trick for it.
That's just *MY* 2 cents!
Hello All,
I relocated Monotropa uniflora Indian Pipe from one location on my land to another with excellent results.
Here in the Adirondacks I see the Indian Pipes growing in many woodland locations most often in a fairly moist conditions and dappled shade locations.
When transplanting the plants I dig the Indian Pipes with as much of the soil intact around the root systems of the plants as possible. I find using a garden towel and digging out about 4 to 6 inches away from the main stem of the plants and about 4 to 6 inches deep works well. I then use a small garden sholve to remove the clump. I transplant the plants into a well prepared site. I usually dig a planting hole about 8 inches deep and 1 ft sq. I add a great deal of 'well' decayed roots of pine (is very moisture retaining, rich brown color, smells great and is very soft) and/or well decayed beech or maple wood/roots as well as a little leaf mould. I add this to the bottom of the planting hole and I place the clump of Indian Pipe in the planting hole and I add more of the decayed wood/root mixed with soil from the planting hole and fill in around the clump until the plant is planted at its previous level. I always apply a mulch or transplant some moss over the area and I water well the first time after transplanting.
I also have transplanted mushrooms using the same methods and in my experience works very well. :)
I got some seeds in a trade last fall...and am going to plant them this weekend under my silver maple..plenty of tree roots, michorizzal fungi, leaf mould, etc. I hope they come up! I've never seen these in the wild, and I envy those of you who have! April
I've just collected seeds from a few Indian Pipe flower stalks on our property. It will be an experiment indeed to germinate them in the same soil type they were growing in!
The trees around them are Paperbark Birch, Maple and Pine.
Wonder which one is, or is it all, that are the hosts, if that is the means of their growth? We've had a very wet summer. So seeing the 'Corpse Plant' this year is a novelty!
So happy to see an Indian Pipe in my yard after 23 years of working to create a woodland. Have only seen it once before in the Lady Bird Johnson redwood grove near where I live. I have had amanitas, small brown mushrooms and a white one that looked like a cross between coral and cauliflower which is edible, but has declined in recent years despite my not taking it.
Monotropa uniflora IS a parasite. Specifically, it is a mycoheterotroph- it parasitises off of multiple fungi species that form mycorhizzal symbiotic relationships with trees. It is white and lacks chlorophyll, and therefore cannot produce it's own energy via photosynthesis.
It would be extremely hard to cultivate in a private garden. You would need to form the right mycorhizzal relationship between the right tree (to produce the right amount of nutrients to be supplied to the plant through the mycelium's hyphae) and the right fungi (specific Rasullaceae spp.), and then all the right growing conditions would have to be perfect for all three species, two plantae and one fungi. I have never heard of this happening in a private garden.

BSc Mycology
The problem then is one of connotations. Many, I suspect, see the word 'parasite' and recoil in horror at the thought of some organism not "paying it's way" through life! In fact, species such as this are a part of the web of life so prominent in rich woodlands. There is simply no "problem" created as a result of the presence of this non-chlorophyte where it occurs.
In my cedar swamp, they have appeared in huge numbers this spring, evidently responding to the high rainfall and mostly cool temps. But I've seen them in upland situations too, across N. WI and MI's Upper Penninsula. IMO, a fascinating example of nature's ability to fill every niche.

Washington, D.C.: National Mall to get 6-acre sand, soil portrait
The Smithsonian has commissioned a portrait made out of sand and soil that will stretch over six acres at the National Mall. Cuban American urban artist Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada, known for his large-scale "facescapes," will do the work. The piece is a composite portrait of several people photographed in Washington and is called Out of Many, One, the English translation of the Latin E pluribus unum, which is on the seal of the United States. The piece will go between the World War II and Lincoln memorials. The work is expected to start in September. The finished product is expected to take 2,000 tons of sand and 800 tons of soil and be on view during October.

"I loved this book."
Not only is it an autobiography, but it's read by Bill himself ! You get to hear Bill tell you about his long career and his ups and downs along the way. His humor blends the whole thing together in a very unexpected and brilliant way. I found myself cheering for him in his retelling of winning the Emmy, and tearing up when he spoke of his late wife .I loved this book from the first chapter to the funny last sentence!

Where do you get tiny birds for fairy gardens?
I've just started collecting items for fairy gardens and growing sedums, succulents, and moss ( squirrels keep burying stuff in moss pots!) I'd like to find inexpensive tiny birds to add when I put them together, but ebay and amazon were expensive. Any ideas? It'll probably be next spring before I can plant.Now I'm attempting totems and plate flowers.(These are new ideas to Sumter,SC)
I forgot to add that I do get my fairies through Enchanted Gardens and they have lots of miniatures available also. Shipping's not too bad and they ship pretty quickly. I've been ordering from them for several years now and it has always been a pleasant experience. Hope it's ok to post the website here. Tiny fairies are so hard to find - I've looked everywhere! Does anyone else have a good source for them? You can guess I use a lot, so I'm always on the look out for different ones.

I saw this great tip somewhere online or on a blog awhile back, wish I'd made note of WHO came
up with this idea so I could give her credit. Anyway, you can buy these packets of little bug buttons at Michaels. They are PERFECT for little fairy gardens!
Enjoy, Karen
The bug buttons are great Karen! I love the idea of using something in a different way than intended, especially if it is a good deal. I'm pleased to see this post cuz I was trying to think of how to make little birds out of small stones. Actually one small stone with beads geii'd on. Not what I hoped, lol. I think that I will buy a little concrete mold for a bird, and make a bird every time I use mortar mix. That way I will accumulate some. I wish there were bird ice cube trays...

Thank you everyone for all the great sources and help. Glad my question got everyone brain storming! Thanks also for letting me part of the group:) Kim ...PS I'm going to take some glass totems and plate flowers to County Fair (Farmers' Market participant invtied me) so I'll try to post pix next week:)
nanatricia, the one I want is a silicone slit mold. do you think it will work for concrete? It is expensive, but when you figure I would have to pay $8 to $12 each for a little concrete bird, then I would get my money's worth in 3 or 4 castings.
The seller has 10 of them on Ebay. This is my favorite that I have seen.

Gosh I do not know about silicone.Look at some of the mold sites and see what the molds are made of .I do remember on the http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/hypertufa/ that some used hyp mix in them and made molds for cement.
Two Green Thumbs has had them before. If they are not on her site, she can get some of the small, resin ones for you in all different kinds of birds. Her webstore is http://www.shop.twogreenthumbs.com - she's got a bunch of really different things in the store.
Oh, and she used to put those buttons on little sticks as garden stakes, that's what reminded me of them.
I just did an ebay search for miniature birds.
Then I sorted for Lowest price + shipping
7 for $3. Some are porcelaine. Maybe this is more than you want to pay, but you never know what will turn up on ebay. Further down in this search is a rather inexpensive collection of mini glass animals.
Have fun

Old Faithful Area Natural Features, Page 2
Firehole River
The river derives its name from the steam (which they thought was smoke from fires) witnessed by early trappers to the area. Their term for a mountain valley was "hole," and the designation was born. The Firehole River boasts a world-famous reputation for challenging fly-fishing. Brown, rainbow, and brook trout give the angler a wary target in this stream.
Craig Pass/Isa Lake
Both names are used to describe the same location seven miles south of Old Faithful on the Grand Loop Road. At 8,262 feet along the Continental Divide, Isa Lake is a uniquely confusing feature. During spring runoff, it drains into both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans at the same time-and backwards, too! The west side of the lake flows into the Firehole drainage and, eventually, the Atlantic throughout the year. During the spring, the east side flows toward the Snake River drainage and the Pacific.
Kepler Cascades is the most easily reached waterfall in the district. A marked pullout just south of Old Faithful and a short walk from the car offers the visitor easy access to view this 125-foot cascade.
