HMNS entomologist Erin Mills walks you through how to mount and display a butterfly in this 4-part video tutorial.
Part I: Supplies
Check back next week for Part II!
As the obligate host plants for monarch caterpillars, milkweeds are a staple in any butterfly habitat garden. However, milkweed is not just for monarchs! Many other insects call the genus Asclepias home, giving rise to the concept of a "milkweed village."
Milkweed plants produce bitter tasting toxins called cardiac glycocides, and insects that eat milkweeds have evolved to use these to their advantage, sequestering the toxins in their bodies to protect themselves from predators. Most, if not all milkweed-eating insects have markings of black and orange or yellow, a type of aposomatic coloration that warns predators of their horrible flavor. If a predator such as a bird, lizard, or spider were to eat one of these insects, it would spit it out. The next such insect would be avoided, as its coloration would remind the predator of its foul flavor.
Most butterfly gardeners have encountered the bright yellow oleander aphid, Aphis nerii, which congregates on the new growth, flowers, and developing seed pods of milkweed plants. Aphids are phloem feeders, meaning that they suck the sap, along with the toxins, out of the plant's vascular tissue.
The presence of these aphids on milkweed attracts a number of predatory insects. Ladybug larvae and adults (Hippodamia spp. and others) are important predators of milkweed aphids. Other small beetles such as mealybug destroyers, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, and scale destroyers, Lindorus lopanthae, eat aphids along with other small sap-feeding insects. These beetles are interesting creatures in that their larval stage looks just like their namesake (i.e., mealybugs and scale, respectively).
The maggot-like larvae of syrphid flies also eat aphids, sucking their bodies dry. Syrphid pupae look like little brown or tan teardrops. If you notice these on your milkweed plants, leave them in place to ensure another generation of these beneficial flies.
Tiny parasitic wasps such as braconids lay their eggs in aphids' bodies. The wasp larvae feed on the inside of the aphid until they pupate, then exit as an adult wasp through a tiny hole in the aphid's exoskeleton. The leftover brown "shell" is called an aphid mummy. These mummies are a good sign that your aphids are being parasitized. Don't worry, these wasps don't harm monarch caterpillars.
With all of these great beneficial insects around, I hardly had to spray our milkweed crop at the museum with any insecticidal soap this year. However, if the aphid population on your milkweeds gets to be overwhelming, the best way to knock them back is to spray them off the plants with a sharp stream of water. Try to avoid damaging or knocking off any beneficial insects in the process.
Other "pests" of milkweed plants include the milkweed leaf beetle, Labidomera clivicollis. These chunky, orange and black beetles and their larvae feed on milkweed leaves.
Large milkweed bugs, Oncopeltus fasciatus, are also common in the southern United States. These oblong-shaped, sap-sucking true bugs are orange and black and mostly feed on the developing seeds, flowers and nectar of milkweed plants. They don't usually cause much damage.
Now we come to the most familiar milkweed inhabitant – the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus. As we all know, monarch caterpillars eat voluminous quantities of milkweed leaves, and display the textbook aposomatic coloration of white, black and yellow stripes. Their chrysalids, or pupae, are a gorgeous jade green with gold lines and spots.
Here in Houston we sometimes encounter another milkweed visitor – the queen butterfly, Danaus gilippus. Queen caterpillars look very similar to the monarch, but they have three pairs of tentacles instead of the monarch's two. Their chrysalids are also similar, but are a bit smaller and may sometimes be a pale pink rather than green.
Like everything else, monarchs are part of the food chain, and are preyed upon or parasitized by a number of different organisms. One of their most prevalent parasites is a tachinid fly, a gray, hairy species about the size of a house fly. An adult fly female will lay her eggs on a monarch caterpillar and when they hatch, the maggots burrow inside. The maggots live inside the caterpillar, eating its tissues, until they are ready to pupate. At that point they crawl out of the caterpillar and fall to the ground, where they pupate in the soil The maggots often leave the caterpillar after it has pupated, leaving a trail of slime that dries up and looks like white strings hanging from the chrysalis. These strings are tell-tale signs of a tachinid fly infestation.
Assassin bugs, Zelus sp., are frequent visitors to milkweed plants. This true bug will stab monarch caterpillars with its rostrum or beak, paralyzing the victim and liquefying its insides, making it easier to consume.
Vespid wasps are another important predator of monarchs. The familiar large red wasps, Polistes carolinus, and the smaller yellow and black European paper wasp, Polistes dominulus, both hunt caterpillars as food for their own hungry larvae. Once a wasp finds a host plant with caterpillars, she will come back regularly to check for more, especially in the summer months when wasps are the most active. This can be upsetting to butterfly gardeners. To protect your caterpillars from these all-too-efficient predators, place a screen such as a pop up or mesh laundry hamper between them and the wasps.
Finally, a parasite of notable concern that specifically affects monarchs (and also queens) has emerged on the scene of butterfly gardening. This protozoan parasite, Ophryocystis elektroscirrha, commonly known as Oe, begins with a dormant spore, usually deposited by an infected female monarch as she lays her eggs on a milkweed. When the caterpillars hatch and begin to eat, they consume the Oe spores along with the leaf. Once inside a caterpillar's gut, the spores become active and reproduce several times. When the butterfly emerges from its pupa, it is covered in dormant Oe. spores, giving rise to the next generation of infected monarchs. Mildly infected butterflies may show no sign of infection but as Oe levels build up, they eventually cause problems such as weakness, deformity, and even death.
The annual migration to Mexico each fall helps to weed out infected butterflies, which are usually too weak to make the long trip and die along the way. However, some monarchs don't migrate and may stay in the Houston area all winter long. In the south, butterfly gardeners primarily grow tropical milkweed, Asclepias curassavica, which unlike the native milkweeds does not die back to the root in the fall. Oe spores can remain viable on the leaves of this perennial species for some time, infecting the next generation of caterpillars that eats them. As this situation repeats, it can cause populations of severely infested monarchs. We therefore encourage butterfly gardeners to cut back their tropical milkweed every spring after the first generation of monarchs arrive and eat the milkweed down, and then again in the fall before or during the migration, so that the butterflies will be encouraged to migrate and not overwinter here.
With all of these challenges, it's no wonder that only five to ten percent of monarch eggs make it to adulthood. Keep in mind however, that monarchs are an important part of the food chain and without their survival and natural demise, our native ecosystem would not be as diverse as it is. In any case, human interactions with the environment have caused the most damage to monarch populations – huge amounts of monarch habitat has been lost due to the expansion of agricultural land and use of Roundup Ready crops. Planting butterfly-friendly gardens, especially if they include milkweed, can help mitigate this loss of habitat.
You can do your part by attending our fall plant sale at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Stock up on the nectar plants that monarchs need to fuel their migration as well as host plants for native butterflies.
The sale will be held on Saturday, October 11th from 9:00 a.m. until noon (or until plants are gone), and will take place on the 7th level of the museum parking garage. Remember, the early bird gets the larva, so to speak, and don't forget your wagon!
My friends Bob and Bev photographed this very faded, tattered female monarch flying around the milkweed plants in their backyard near the Museum last week. The butterfly is a migrant from Mexico, looking for places to lay her eggs as a last hurrah before she dies.
She must be very tired!
Last fall, she flew from somewhere in eastern North America all the way to central Mexico, where she spent the winter mostly in hibernation. A few weeks ago, she and the other overwintering butterflies, sensing the lengthening days and warming temperatures, left the shelter of the sanctuary's trees and headed back north to complete the journey. They are just now getting to Texas.
This old girl's eggs will hatch and — if they have enough milkweed — the caterpillars will mature and pupate. Then, when they emerge as adult butterflies, at least some of them will continue the journey north. By July, monarchs will have reached the northern limit of their range. These summer generations don't live as long, and don't travel nearly as far.
If you see worn and faded monarchs at this time of year, they are almost certainly migrants returning from their winter in Mexico. You can help them to fulfill their "purpose" by providing nectar for their last few meals, and more importantly, milkweed for the new generation. These returning migrants will only last a few days now that they've gotten here — they are on their last "wings" after nearly nine months of life, and at least 2,000 miles of travel.
The butterflies need your help! With urbanization, and a host of other factors, monarch butterflies are at risk of not finding places to lay their eggs. So why not help while improving the butterfly traffic through your garden with a butterfly-seducing plant from our biannual plant sale?
Milkweed plants in the genus Asclepias are extremely important for butterflies, especially monarchs. While the blooms provide copious amounts of nectar for many different butterflies, the foliage is an essential part of the monarch butterfly's life cycle. Milkweeds are the only plant monarch caterpillars will eat. In other words, they can't live without it!
Native milkweed plants grow along roadsides and in open fields. The butterflies find them by honing in on their volatile chemicals and finally locate the exact plant by "tasting" nearby plants with special receptors called chemoreceptors on their feet. Once a gravid female (one who has mated and is ready to lay eggs) finds a good milkweed plant, she will lay eggs on it — and the miraculous process of metamorphosis has begun!
There are about 100 species of Asclepias in the United States, and over 30 in Texas — but monarchs seem to prefer some of them over others. According to a study by Linda S. Rayor, described in The Monarch Butterfly: Biology and Conservation, when given a choice, monarchs prefer to lay eggs on other species of milkweed over the native species Asclepias tuberosa.Why? Different Asclepias species contain different cardenolide concentrations (cardenolides are the chemicals in the milkweed leaves that taste bitter). As they eat, the caterpillars store these toxic chemicals in their bodies and thus become distasteful to their predators. A. tuberosa has been found to contain low amounts of cardenolides compared to most other species of milkweed. Although it is unclear how monarchs "know" this, they do not usually use A. tuberosa as a host plant.
Several other native milkweed species, however, are great host plants for the monarch. Asclepias asperula (Antelope Horns), A. viridis (Green Milkweed), A. incarnata (Swamp Milkweed) and A. oenotheroides (Zizotes Milkweed) are some of the more commonly found milkweed plants in our area that monarchs use as host plants.
Unfortunately, most of the native milkweeds are hard to find in plant nurseries. One reason is that their seeds require moist stratification to germinate, and even with this pretreatment, germination can be splotchy. Furthermore, young plants of A. asperula, viridis and oenotheroides take several seasons to establish their thick taproots, and can be hard to transplant.
On the bright side, most of the native milkweeds, except for A. incarnata, are drought tolerant and can handle being mowed. Swamp milkweed obviously likes moist soil. All milkweeds grow best in full sun.
Most gardeners are familiar with tropical milkweed, or Asclepias curassavica. This plant is commonly available in local plant nurseries and attracts butterflies like a magnet! Its bright orange and gold flowers are irresistible to many butterflies, and the high levels of cardenolides in its foliage make it especially sought out by female monarchs looking for a place to lay their eggs. Although it originates in more tropical climes, it is relatively cold hardy and will usually come back from the base of the plant after a freeze. It is also easy to propagate from seed, and in fact will sometimes seed out (make more of itself) in a garden.
So tropical milkweed seems like the ideal plant. However, one issue with this species is that it is not native to our area and does not exhibit the same characteristics of our native milkweeds, all of which die back to the ground in winter. This perennial habit seems advantageous, but it can be a problem for a couple of reasons. Because it has leaves year-round, it may encourage monarchs to overwinter locally instead of migrating to Mexico. It can serve as a host for a disease that affects monarchs, called Ophryocystis elektroscirrha, or simply O.e. This disease is caused by a protozoan parasite and is spread in the dormant stage of its lifecycle as a tiny spore.
These spores are typically on the abdomen of an infected monarch butterfly and can be spread to her eggs or onto the milkweed plants themselves when a female lays eggs. Then, when the caterpillars hatch out of the eggs, they consume the spores that lie on their empty egg shells or on the leaves around the egg and become infected.
Over a few generations, the parasite load can build up to high enough levels that it impacts the butterfly's survival. Depending on the severity of the infection, the disease can make the caterpillars look a bit grayish and their stripes not as distinct. When the caterpillars pupate, their chrysalis may look brownish or spotted. The butterfly inside may emerge but have problems, such as an enlarged, gray abdomen and weak, faded wings.
Sometimes they emerge and look healthy, but secretly harbor O.e. spores on their abdomens. Other times they don't emerge from the chrysalis at all, or get stuck while trying to come out.
So what is my point? I thought we were talking about milkweed plants! The reason this is important is because O.e. spores persist on the leaves of the tropical milkweed plants, waiting for an unsuspecting caterpillar to munch them up. To break this cycle, we recommend cutting your tropical milkweed plants back after a monarch generation has stripped their leaves, especially in the spring and fall. A simple pruning of the plant's stems about six inches from the ground will get rid of any remaining spores and will sprout new growth in no time.
Some other closely related plants that monarchs will use as a host are Gomphocarpus physocarpus or "family jewels" milkweed, and a species of Funastrum or twinevine. Gomphocarpus is a lot like A. curassavica in that it doesn't lose its leaves in the winter so it also needs to be cut back periodically to keep it from spreading O.e.
Funastrum or twinevine is an interesting climbing plant native to south Texas and Mexico. The plant is not very impressive looking until the summer, when it puts on beautiful balls of milkweed-like flowers that are great nectar sources for many kinds of butterfly. Another good thing about it is that when monarch caterpillars have stripped all your milkweed plants of their leaves and are still hungry, they will eat the leaves of Funastrum.
With their habitat dwindling due to urbanization, the use of Round Up ready crops, shrinking right-of-ways due to intensive agricultural practices and other factors, monarch butterflies need all the help they can get. The take-home message today is PLANT MORE MILKWEED! (please)
For milkweed and other awesome butterfly host and nectar plants, come visit us at our biannual Spring Plant Sale on Saturday, April 5th from 9 a.m. until we sell out! We are located on the 7th level of the Museum parking garage. Parking is free if you spend $30 or more!

MC Frontalot's latest album, Final Boss, was released on November 4th. I got it in the mail today, the 6th, and I am pleased. I already have a digital version of the album, but the album itself is awesome in physical form. I can't decide which is the best song on the album, Canadia, Tongue-Clucking Grammarian, or Scare Goat. They're all good in their own ways.

Those who played On The Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 1, may remember a song from the end of the game called Final Boss. Frontalot is responsible for the rhymes therein, for those who were unaware.

For those interested possibly, http://frontalot.com/index.php/ is Front's site. I also highly recommend everyone listen to Pr0n Song, which is obviously kinda NSFW (same thing with the lyrics) http://frontalot.com/index.php/?page=lyrics&lyricid=26tag:destructoid.com,2008:79407Kingdom of Loathing Players!2008-04-02T11:34:29Z2008-04-02T11:34:29ZThis post concerns you, fo'srs. If you didn't know, there is a Destructoid clan in the Kingdom.I'm making this post for two reasons. The first is to make everyone aware OF the clan.

However, it's also to inform everyone in the clan or wishes to join it that the former clan leader, Eschatos, has been inactive. Why does that matter? Since I was the next highest ranked in the clan, the leadership has fallen on to me. Thus, I want to promote the clan and get it well known so we can be a respected clan over in that community.

If you HAVEN'T heard of Kingdom of Loathing, I highly suggest you check it out and play for a day or two. It's totally free, and all browser based. You can pay to get some items, or you can save up in game currency and buy them FROM the game.

So, tl;dr version. Come join the Dtoid clan, I'm the new clan leader, and play you some KoL.tag:destructoid.com,2008:76804Gentlemen. I like Brawl.2008-03-20T15:26:07Z2008-03-20T15:26:07Z

My CPU fan has been slowly dying over this past month. In that time I reinstalled Windows (backing up all my Valve stuff to my giant F: drive so I wouldn't have to redownload.) All this has been keeping me from playing TF2, which sucks hardcore.

That all changed Monday. A friend bought me a new fan as a birthday present. It finally showed up today in the mail, and it's awesome. A sexy sleek 80cm Asus fan to replace my mostly dead standard Pentium fan. It was a bitch and a half to get it attached, but it's well worth it. 100-120F running temp (including during gaming) compared to nearly double that.

I am pleased, and TF2 action will recommence soon. I might not make FNF tomorrow, due to the boyfriend visiting over the weekend. But either way...I'M BACK BITCHES.

|Lindsay Lohan beaming at a previous court appearance.
The 26-year-old actress has reportedly insisted she will only enter a court ordered treatment facility if she is allowed to have the prescription drug - used to treat Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder - which she claims she needs to function, according to TMZ.
The troubled starlet was recently sentenced to 90 days in rehab after pleading "no contest" to charges for lying to police about driving during a car crash last June but has jetted to Brazil for some partying and promotional appearances before entering the facility, which has horrified her father.
Michael Lohan has posted an open letter to the actress's booking agent Mike Heller, whose father is her lawyer Mark Heller, warning him that he will be held fully responsible if anything happens to Lindsay, who was reportedly spotted "out of it" in a Sao Paulo nightclub with her dress up around her waist and crying underneath a table.
He wrote: "I am telling you now if you are with Lindsay in Rio or you booked it, and anything happens to my daughter, I am holding you personally responsible. Judging from what has happened to in the past, and the way she looks down there from the pictures in the media, it's not a good thing.
If you have anything to do with her being there, its on you. Count on it. (sic)"

I love the texture and pigmentation, but Half Baked is too orange for me. I don't like the way I look in coppers (not dark brown copper but brighter penny shades). This is way way warmer than a newly minted penny to me. I can probably pull it off but I dont like it. Still giving it a 3 since the formula rocks and more golden fair skin tones probably would love it, and I can see it being universally appealing on warmer and darker shades.

I have this shadow in the naked 2 palette and I'm aware it is in the original naked palette as well. it's so pigmented and gorgeous!! it is $18 singularly which is a price I wouldn't pay for one eyeshadow, but since its a palette, I love it so much!! recommend because it flatters many skin times and it's a beautiful gold :)

I LOVE THIS EYE SHADOW! It stays on all day (even without primer) and it's soft and easy to apply. It is also well-pigmented-- you know when you find an eye shadow color you like, then you apply it and it is thin and powdery and terrible? Not this stuff! I use Bordello (as well as some colors from the Naked 3 pallette) and it really makes my blue eyes pop! Absolutely recommend this product.

My absolute favorite eyeshadow, ever. I use it every single day. Gorgeous by itself, gorgeous as a part of a shaded shadow look. Lasts forever, great pigmentation, it's the best I've ever tried and for only about $18-$20. HIGHLY recommend.

I got this shade in the UD's Sustainable Box palette. Of all the array of colors this was the one that caught my attention the most! Needless to say, the first color I used up entirely! It's a gorgeous shimmery gold that is perfect as a full lid color. Not too yellow or too orange, it's just the perfect golden goddess color. The formula is velvety smooth and there is no eyeshadow fall out while applying it; It also lasts all night and looks radiant with or without primer. Just LOVE!!! Will repurchase this in the individual type of packaging soon!

WOW! this product is well loved and I am sorry it took me soooooo long to find it as it's the most beautiful shade which I think would work on just about every skin tone. I have long searched for that goldey/taupey/natural sun kissed eye shadow look and this is it!!! I am thrilled to join the ranks of Half-Baked fans and lend my support, money and enthusiasm to this eye shadow.

I freaking love this color! It's my favorite/most used color in my naked palette. I basically bought the palette because of that shade and I don't regret it lol it's so nice under the nyx jumbo eye pencil in 'real gold' cuz it really builds up the intensity! I can't get enough!

Man Is the Bastard Accuse Akron/Family of Ripping Off Their Skull Logo For T-Shirts
By Carrie Battan on January 24, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. EST
Update: Akron/Family's Miles Seaton has posted an official explanation of the situation on the band's Facebook, saying that, "the use of the man is the bastard / bastard noise skull was meant to be a reverent homage to music / art that [had a] profound impact on me".
Eric Wood, founding member of trailblazing powerviolence act Man Is the Bastard/member of Bastard Noise, is waging war against indie-folk outfit Akron/Family. Brooklyn Vegan points out that Wood is accusing Akron/Family of ripping off his band's iconic skull logo for a T-shirt.
Wood's has asked his fans to pile on Akron/Family's Facebook page, and has himself posted comments like, "FUCK YOUR U.S. TOUR - YOU SUCK MULE DICKS YOU FUCKING HUMAN MANURE" and "YOU GUYS ARE GODDAMNED THIEVES AND YOU SUCK. FUCKING LOGO STEALING LOSERS. FUCK YOU !!!!!"
Those comments have since been deleted, but the words of many an angry MiTB fan are still there.
Brooklyn Vegan also points to a thread on Facebook started by ex-MiTB member Israel Lawrence, who's been posting a series of correspondences with Akron/Family bassist Miles Seaton. Seaton, claiming the t-shirts use the logo in tribute to MiTB, said:
"I'm the member of Akron/Family who decided to lift the MITB skull and I take responsibility for it. I saw MITB at 16 years old and it changed how I heard and played music and made me want to play bass (which I have ever since) it was an honest tribute. As you can see I/we clearly "stole" the crass circle as well: I didn't contact anyone to ask permission. We weren't trying to "steal" your logo... It's an honest artistic nod to music / imagery I grew up with ."
Wood explained the origins of the skull logo in an interview with VICE three years ago, saying:
"I was aware from the get-go how simple logos like the Flag bars, the Infest logo, and the Crass circle could give things an immediate persona. You can put something that simple on your record and you immediately have a visual thing to go with the sound. I went to a library, found the skull in some medical journal, flipped it, made all the fonts super bold and brutal, and that was it. You can go into all these realms of complicated presentation and the message can get lost. Basic is brutal."

Watch New Videos From Akron/Family, Tobacco
By Larry Fitzmaurice on March 23, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. EDT
The video for Akron/Family's "Island", a cut from their most recent LP Akron/Family II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT, is a scenic, slow-motion trip through tropical landscapes and peaceful environs. Sometimes, the camera follows a specific person or two, but really, it's more about the vibe in this Daniel M. Gahr-directed clip. Check it out below, or over at Pitchfork.tv.
If you're looking for something completely different, check out the video for Tobacco's Maniac Meat cut "Constellation Dirtbike Head" below or over at Pitchfork.tv, too. The Trevor G. Allen-directed video features a young space traveler clashing with a shadowy figure, getting duplicated, and heading towards a fiery demise-- in other words, it's weird, because it's a Tobacco video.

Akron/Family Announce New Album
By Tom Breihan on November 11, 2010 at 9:10 a.m. EST
Psych-rock space cases Akron/Family have a new album coming out, and they've given it a mouthful of a title: S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT. Dead Oceans will release the LP February 8 in the U.S. and March 14 in the UK, and that's the cover above.
According to a press release, the album was apparently "written in a cabin built into the side of Mount Meakan, an active volcano in Akan National Park, on the island of Hokkaido, Japan" and recorded it in an abandoned train station in Detroit, which sounds like a pretty good place to get killed. Producer Chris Koltay (No Age, Liars, Deerhunter) is quoted as saying, "This album will transcend the internet."
Akron/Family Want You to Cover Their Song, Go to a Show for Free

Lately, the freak-folk wildmen in Akron/Family have been ending their marathon live shows with a patriotic anthem of sorts called "Woody Guthrie's America". The song hasn't seen any kind of wide release yet, but the band is doing something else with it instead. They're using the song to spur a sort of open-source internet project. They want you to record your own version of the song and send it to them. If you do, you'll get into an Akron/Fam show for free.
Akron/Family Do Summer Tour, 7" Series

There's no better way to experience noisy folksters Akron/Family than in a packed room (or field) surrounded by people who are super into it-- if not a little bit out of it. So their daunting summer tour schedule is good news for Akron fans and not-so-good news for Akron members looking to get some sleep in the next few months. But who needs sleep when you've got the jams, right? Maybe?
While on the road, the band are offering a series of 7" singles from their recent Set 'Em Wild, Set 'Em Free LP, too. Each record comes with a Set 'Em Wild track on the front and a brand new creation on the back-- the first one, "Everyone Is Guilty" is available at the band's site now. The "River" 7" will be available at the group's September gigs and the "Many Ghosts" disc will come soon after that. Tour dates and 7" details after the jump:

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.

METTUR: Employees of Mettur Municipality went on a flash strike on Wednesday demanding that the police take action against a councillor and a few others, who reportedly prevented the workers from doing their job.
Police sources said that the workers tried to remove five shops from the bus stand following the expiry of the lease period. Ward 27 councillor Palanisamy belonging to AIADMK and a few others allegedly prevented them from removing the shops. In protest against this, the workers resorted to a flash strike.
Police personnel, who rushed to the spot, pacified the workers.

On the other end is "Jive".

Power To The People: As Sandy Approaches Sales of Generators Spike
Warnings of Hurricane Sandy's soggy-but-sure approach have meant a sudden boost in sales of portable generators in the North Country.
At the Home Depot and Lowe's in Littleton the cupboard is empty, well, the cupboard that used to hold portable generators.
Even though the North Country is expected to receive only a glancing blow from Sandy people worried about losing power began showing up at the stores on Friday.
By Saturday the Home Depot was sold out of its 20-or-so generators, said store manager Chris Howard.
"There certainly have been a lot of customers coming in from a lot bigger area than we're used to."
The story was the same next door at Lowe's.
Howard says the store is still getting plenty of calls from people searching for the now-scarce portable generator.
Sound of clerk asking did you find everything…..
And it has sold plenty of batteries, flashlights and water.

As I was leaving a grueling and wonderful dance class, a group of four construction workers nearby whistled and catcalled. I was dripping sweat and still in my leotard and jazz pants. I decided to challenge their ignorance, and said, "Listen, I'm an athlete; I've been knocking myself out for almost 2 hours perfecting something that's really difficult. Show some respect and stop that!". They applauded and one guy said "Right on", and shook my hand.
To this day, I don't know if it was the right thing to do, or if it made them think seriously about their behavior, but I was glad I'd done it.
The institute where I study is about ten minutes away from my house. I've been attending that institute for two months with no problems until two weeks ago. A couple of weeks ago a building started to be constructed near by my house and institute, so every morning when I leave (about 7:45am) I meet with the men that are working in the site. The harassment started with a man calling me beautiful, it may not be offensive, but I was alone and they were in a group, he is a man in his late forties and I'm a nineteen-year-old girl. I started seeing the men every morning, and it went from being an uncomfortable situation to me becoming frightened when this same guy came close to my face one day and whispered "she is so beautiful". I felt scared and disgusted and couldn't concentrate in my classes for the rest of the day. I told my mom about it, trying not to make it sound like a big deal and said that I was simply going to change routes. She agreed and asked me to text her when I arrived. The day that I changed routes, I thought I had finally found the solution and as I was entering the institute, someone from across the street yelled at me "Hey Beautiful", it was him again. I texted my mom, and after she talked with my father, he drives me every day to school now. My parents said they wanted me to and could tell the police I was being harassed daily by the same guy. The problem is I never had the guts to look at his face.
Man at airport drop off was drunk, grabbing his genitals, and hit on me with invasive and inappropriate questions. Attempted to open my car while I wasn't in it. Airport security responded very quickly and took him away.
I walk 2.5 miles home from work almost everyday and there is a man in a white, unmarked work van who passes me each day, driving in either direction. He has yelled everything from "Nice ASS!" "Check out them TITS!" to "Hey I'm talking to you bitch!" Since he passes around the same time everyday, and has been seen driving in both directions, I have reason to believe he drives up and down that section of road looking for me. I have no other route to take home.

I pulled up to the gas station on the corner of Dundonald and Smythe streets in Fredericton, NB, Canada. I realized that the pump I was at was debit-only, so I returned to my car. While I was bent down looking for my debit card, I heard a man yell from a passing car "Yeah bitch you bend over!" It happened so fast I have no idea what the man looked like.
On a 12 minute walk, 3 men – all in separate cars – honked their horns at me, and a group of men on the back of a truck continuously commented on my physical appearance, referring to me as mango, pie, and yellow.

Today I was walking back from school at around 3:50pm, by myself. Two men were walking on my side of the road towards me. I didn't cross, since two boys from my school were just ahead and could see me. When the men walked past I kept my head down as not to provoke them, and when they walked past in silence I thought I'd gotten away with it, but after a few seconds one of them turned around and shouted "I'd finger her!" Followed by the two of them laughing and the other shouting "Sorry, he's sick in the head!". It was embarrassing and scary, and while I worked up the courage to glare at them after the first remark, after the second I just wanted to cry.
I ran until I was right behind the boys from my school and when I got home I reported them to the police, but this isn't the first time I've suffered harassment on that stretch of road and the police just told me that "they were only being immature" and "that happens when people get let out of school". These were not school children. They were fully grown adults and I am a fifteen year old girl.
Frankly I'm disappointed that the police didn't do more, my little sisters walk that stretch of road twice a day and I don't want them to ever have to suffer that kind of humiliation.
A few months ago, I went out to a Friday night dinner with my husband of 23 years at Rocco's Tacos on Clematis Street in West Palm Beach, Florida. I wore a new dress and was feeling proud of myself, especially after having worked very hard to lose more then 50 pounds to get back to a healthy weight. After dinner, while my husband visited the restroom and before we walked back to our car for the drive home, rather than wait inside I told him I'd be out front since it was a beautiful evening.
As I strolled a few paces away from those dining on the sidewalk, two men who appeared to be in their twenties were approaching, laughing. I slightly backed up and angled my body to avoid brushing against them or others as they passed, and one of them said something that sounded like 'Tasty!' while his knuckles brushed the front of my crotch. He didn't stop moving but it felt like *very* deliberate contact. I immediately turned after him saying 'What the fuck?!' but both of them immediately took off running — and laughing.
My husband arrived a minute after that. I told him I thought I'd just been groped and he really wanted to go after them. I convinced him they were long gone so there wouldn't be any point. Now I wish I'd let him try, although I still think it wouldn't have led to finding them in the crowds that were on Clematis that night. I feel violated by a couple of punks who obviously think humiliating and denigrating women at random is a fun game. When I think of putting on that new dress for a second time, I just can't. I'll probably end up donating it even though I spent a lot of money on it.

Home Dartford Sport Article
On-loan Dartford striker Alex Wall has been recalled by his parent club Luton Town.
Wall made 10 appearances for the Darts, scoring six goals to help keep their Skrill Premier survival hopes alive.
He originally joined in January on a one-month deal but extended the loan in February and again last month.
Wall was due to stay with Dartford until the Easter weekend but the Hatters have recalled him for the final weeks of the season.
Darts boss Tony Burman said: "We would like to thank Alex for all his help and take this opportunity in thanking Luton Town for all their help and assistance."
The striker was sat in the stand at Princes Park on Tuesday night when Luton came from behind to beat Dartford 2-1. Wall and fellow Luton loanee Jim Stevenson were ineligible to play against their parent club.
Mikel Suarez, who scored the Darts goal in that game, is now set for a run in the team as Burman looks to guide his side to safety.
Dartford have six games left, starting with a trip to Lincoln on Saturday. Their other remaining fixtures are against Grimsby (home), Forest Green (home), Braintree (away), Tamworth (home) and Nuneaton (away).

The safest course of action is for RIAs to retain all communicationsto clients, from clients, and about client accounts. To comply with fiduciary obligations, communications must be thorough and not mislead.
In an announcement akin to "the check is in the mail," the SEC has said that final rules implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act ("Dodd-Frank") mandated "switch" will be adopted by July 21. But even if the SEC meets that deadline, the agency indicated that it could be well into 2012 before firms are forced to comply with the new rules. Is disarray at the SEC prompting the delay?
Dodd-Frank changed the assets under management (AUM) threshold for registration with the SEC. Once the new rules are implemented, advisors with between $25 and $100 million in AUM will be required to withdraw their registration from the SEC and register with state regulators. Also, where advisors to private funds were previously exempted from registration with the SEC, most of those advisors will now be required to register.
The drop-dead date for the old advisor registration rules was supposed to be July 21, 2011, which most commentators assumed to mean that the new registration thresholds would kick in on that date. But apparently the SEC is unready to implement the rules, which will give firms at least another six months to comply with the new registration requirements.
Although the delay will have compliance personnel at some firms affected by the change breathing a sigh of relief, it's a bad sign for the SEC. The problem is that the announcement is confirmation that the underfunded SEC is struggling to carry the burden heaped on it by Dodd-Frank. Already understaffed and underfunded, the SEC has become a favored target of budget slashing congressmen—especially on the Republican side of the aisle.
Although the FY 2011 budget compromise reached between the President and Congressional leaders in April included a funding increase for the SEC, Rep. Paul Ryan budget's, which would slash the SEC's budget to 2008 levels, was approved by the House on April 15. And news sources are reporting that even some Senate Democrats think "it might make sense to use [the Ryan plan] as a framework for a budget resolution." If a spending plan like the Ryan proposal passes Congress, you can bet that the SEC will be forced to further scale back its efforts to implement Dodd-Frank-mandated regulatory changes like the switch.
Information about the updated timetable for the switch was released in an April 8th letter from Robert Plaze, associate director of the SEC's Division of Investment Management, to David Massey, president of the North American Securities
Administrators Association (NASAA). In the letter, Plaze said that the 2012 ETA for implementing the switch and private advisor registration requirement is necessary to give the SEC time to reprogram its Investment Adviser Registration Depository system (lARD) to accommodate the new rules.
Firms frantic over the switch—which was originally supposed to happen on July 21, 2011—now have more time to prepare for the transition to state regulation. But this news out of the SEC is also a sign that the SEC's fiscal stability may be more tenuous than ever. And if a budget like the Ryan proposal is passed, you can be sure that chaos at the SEC will overrun even the best intentions to implement the Congressional mandate.

Would you put this ingredient in your sweet potato pie?
Sweet potato pie
3 large sweet potato , peeled and cut into cubes (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup heavy cream
****** 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup*********
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (9-inch) frozen pie crust
Heat the oven to 350F.
Place the potatoes into a 3-quart saucepan and add water to cover. Heat over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes well in a colander.
Place the potatoes and heavy cream into a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is fluffy. Beat in the soup, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the potato mixture into the pie crust and place onto a baking sheet.
Bake for 1 hour or until set. Let the pie cool in the pan on a wire rack for 3 hours.
Time-Saving: Substitute 1 3/4 cups drained and mashed canned sweet potatoes for the fresh mashed sweet potatoes.
No, I personally wouldn't put it in--but that's because I don't buy or use canned soups. They're too high in sodium and I prefer to make my own.
However, that being said, there is a tomato spice cake that uses canned soup that's supposed to be VERY good (again, have never made or eaten it, myself)--so this recipe isn't totally out of the realm, I suppose.
I wouldn't--no way, no how. I learned a huge lesson last year not to mess with Thanksgiving dinner. Remember my half-baked (literally) Cornish game hens? And the green beans that tasted raw because cooked them in the crockpot? There were a few other screw-ups but I've thankfully forgotten them :-)
