Guess what I am?
I was out for a walk and found this little guy hanging off the stem of a bush. It looks like a cecropia but it is so small. Not that I haven't had tiny cecropia before. The polyphemus and Luna's I have raised usually have leaves and debris in their cocoons. Maybe a tulip tree moth? Small cecropia? What is your guess? Hopefully, it will eclose and let us know!
Hi Elisabeth,
You don't say what the habitat was (and so some idea of what the plant denizens of the area are), so IÂll have to trust my instinct that itÂs a Promethea. But then as out of tune as I am now days, I could be past left field in the back row of the bleachers hanging by a peduncle (cocoon peduncle that is). LOL
You just keep hanging by that peduncle, Larry!
I can't see how it could be anything but a promethea, Elisabeth - I've never seen a peduncle (I was going to call it a "hangy thing" before reading Larry's post) like that on any other moth. There are still two of them on the sassafras in my garden - empty.
See Larry, that is why we need you, to keep us in line! It was in the woods, mixed hardwoods, tulip trees, some oaks, maples. So, prime silkmoth food! Yes, the polyphemus have peduncles like that too but wrap themselves in leaves. I think the promethea is a good guess. I can't wait to see!
It's a full time job just keeping myself in line now days Elisabeth. Hanging by a thread is my MOA now days Sherry. ;)
Most of the Saturniinae spin their cocoons in a leaf nest that eventually falls to the grounds leaf litter unless a twig was also incorporated into the cocoon or the larva did spin at least a rudimentary peduncle. But a few species almost always use a distinct peduncle from a twig or branch and their cocoon remains in the plant until eclosion. Any from this subfamily can have or not have plant inclusions though.
It's been years since I reared any of them, so my gut feeling from this picture is probably more because of the small size, elongation of the cocoon body itself, its color and 40 years experience. It just has Callosamia or Samia written all over it to me, and the color says C. promethea even though the color of silk is speculation since it is determined by what plant the larva fed on. I could be entirely wrong on the species, but I'd be surprised if its not a Callosamia species.
"Promopia". The two species are not in the same genus or tribe, so natural hybridation of them is nada.
Hope its still a viable pupa Elizabeth so you will eventually know. I'd probably put it back in the cocoon as the imago will need the resistence of it to escape the pupal sheath.
That is interesting Larry. I hadn't considered that the silk color might be different. Of course this would have been studied quite a lot in silk moths for production. I will have to look that up.
I know that I have had Cecropia emerge fine without their silk covers. I will put this one back. However, to be honest, I don't remember which way it went. Sometimes, I am not the best observer scientist :).
Sending energy your way,
Larry!!!!! SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!! We have sorely missed your presence on the forums here. I don't know if you are aware of our discussions about how much we missed you, but we have, we have!!!!
Sorry to "shout", but I just had to give you a big welcome back shout out, so hope I didn't offend anyone. Not everyone gets a welcome back shout out here, but you certainly deserve one because of your wisdom and love of lepidoptera.
I don't think I am going to see any silks any time soon. They seem to be prolific here this year, but I have yet to find anything on my "host" plants and I have searched and searched and searched. I don't think my urban environment is very inviting to them......wah!
Congrats, Elisabeth, and hope you have a viable cocoon there.
They orient themselves head to the peduncle and dorsal up. If viable it will even right itself if you put it back in wrong. If nothing else the cocoon will help absorb the cocoonese the pupa releases to disolve the sericin. I suspected ceropia was just making a funny, but I still replied so noobs wouldn't think the two species would hybridize.
Hi Susan,
Long time, and thanks for the shout. Will stop in now and then, but probably will only post ocassionally. Since Saturniidae was one of my specialties I just had to reply to this one. FWIW, if your "urban" habitat has any wet areas nearby they would be a good place to look for Saturniinae. Parks, small wild fields or drainages that get water at least part of the year and so support host plants. When I lived in the frozen north in an uban setting, a scant block away a small ditch between a road and small pasture that was wet enough to supported a growth of Salix exigua was enough for colonies of H. cecropia and Hemileuca nevadensis to have established themselves there. Anyway, just a thought.
Don't feel bad Elizabeth, I was thinking ahead trying to remember how to spell cocoonese and sericin and typed that cocoonese is secreted by the pupa instead of the imago that I should have typed. Brain, memory and fingers have a hard time working together now days.
Cocoonese is an enzyme... sericin is the glue if you will that cements the silk strands of the cocoon together. The imago needs the help because the cocoon does not have a valve for it to escape through (it literally has to tear its way out).
BTW, while you had the pupa out you could have easily sexed it. Easiest is to just look at the antenna case. Another is by the center ventral area of the fourth segment down from the wing cases on the abdomen... if it has two bumps its a male, if its plain and smooth a female.
Again, great information! I think last year I wrote that as a citizen scientist, sometimes it is hard to know where to look. Even just a word like sericin can help take me in a direction of study, I wouldn't have thought of. It looks like there is all kinds of research on the compound, as it has UV protective, anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, and moisturizing abilities. Those Japanese take all kinds of weird compounds for that purpose. It also explains silk making. I guess sericin is the sticky component of silk fibers that glues together the tough fibroin filaments. A silk fiber is essentially fibroin coated with sericin. So, the moth has to dissolve the sericin to escape and excretes cocoonase or sericinase (depending on the reference). I wonder where it excretes it from? I know we experimented with boiling cocoons (after the moth had vacated!) to release the fibers. I didn't know the actual chemical process.
BTW, I think it is a female, after examining her again.
How interesting! I've heard of cocoonese, but never sericin.
The Japanese are smart to use nature's miraculous stuff - some could be very valuable stuff for us humans.
I assume you want eggs, Elisabeth, since you want a female. I've raised these, and they're much easier - and quicker - to raise than the bigger silk moths. A female hung out in the daytime on my porch earlier this year -
Hi, Larry. Thanks for the info. I do live less than a mile, probably about half a mile, from a very large drainage ditch off the Interstate, with lots of vegetation, including trees (don't know what kind). I have a Black Willow, and just about 100 yards away is a Weeping Willow. They also use Elderberries, and I have a nice stand in the backyard. I let my backyard go as habitat for the butterflies and moths. I get a variety of sphinx moths on my host plants, and have hand raised about 10 different species just found here. Lots of Elm, Hackberry, Maple, Virginia Creeper, and obviously, weeds!! But the critters love it.
Doubt I will look by the big drainage ditch, though. Kinda scary looking and I can't see me traipsing thru it looking for Cecropias or other silks. I need to write a paper on what moths I have raised, focusing on an urban garden environment because I see little about it even on the net but not sure much interest would be garnered.
Maybe one day I will see them. I know other urbanites have seen Lunas in the city so perhaps they will eventually be attracted to the pecan trees.
Time will tell, and good to see your posting, if only occasionally.
Yeah,I was just being silly with the hybrid name.It's most likely a promethea.
Sherry,that's a great pic! They're a beautiful species,even though they're smaller than cecropia and polypemus.Only one of my promethea cocoons has hatched so far.It was a male and I released it after a few days.Also had two male Io's but no females.
I don't remember this thread. Funny to find a quote attributed to me even though I was never here. Something posted about cocoonase caught my eye as being incorrect so I looked around for answers. After I found them, I also found that the incorrect info in the thread had also been corrected. Anyway, I found this info on cocoonase to be informative (study was done using polys):
"Cocoonase is a trypsin-like protease used by certain silkmoths
for their escape from the cocoon. Just before emergence of the
moth (Days 17 to 18 of adult development), the enzyme can be
collected with forceps from the surface of modified mouth parts,
the galeae, where it occurs as a dry, semicrystalline deposit (l-3).
An inactive form of cocoonase (2) begins to be synthesized 9 days
earlier, by specialized cells of the galeae (4, 5) ; it accumulates
within an intracellular vacuole, and eventually passes through
special ducts onto the surface, where it is activated and concentrated.
At emergence, the dry active enzyme is redissolved in a
profuse solution of potassium bicarbonate (6) secreted by specialized
salivary glands. The bicarbonate solvent adjusts the pH to
the pH optimum of the enzyme (approximately 8.3), brings
cocoonase in contact with the cocoon, and permits digestion of
the "silk glue," sericin, to proceed. Once sericin is removed and
the fibroin silk fibers are free, the moth pushes through and escapes
to the outside."
Here is a link that might be useful: Cocoonase study
Found a study about why polyphemus cats click. Has a good story about a cat and poly cats.
I did not know that luna cats also click. Guess I'll have to listen more closely to them.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! The biggest story out of Indy continues to be the Peyton Manning/Jim Irsay drama, rather than the Super Bowl being played there a week from tonight. In the latest development, Jason La Canfora reported that the Colts had already made the decision to move on from Manning several weeks ago. Naturally, Irsay has disputed the validity of that report, if anyone wants to believe him; Colts WR Reggie Wayne, who's about to hit unrestricted free agency, says the whole thing is like a soap opera.
Meanwhile, the Colts have hired Bruce Arians to run their offense - a week after the Steelers announced he was retiring and Arians said he was pushed out of Pittsburgh.
New Broncos Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio was born in Castro Valley, CA on April 4, 1963 and attended Hayward High School, in California. Del Rio was active in sports from an early age, and he played football and baseball for the school, where he was a teammate of former Seattle Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu. Del Rio was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays right out of high school, but after some thought, he decided to attend college at USC. He was recruited by John Robinson, and history records that he made a very good decision.
He continued his sports career with the Trojans, playing both baseball and football for them. In football Jack was a linebacker - 6'2" and 246 lb by the end of his time there, he started for the Trojans for four straight years. During that time, he was a consensus All-American as a senior as well as runner-up for the Lombardi Award, but didn't wait for then to shine. USC went 30-15-1 while he was there, ranking in the top 20 teams in the country three of those four years. In addition to playing in the 1982 Fiesta Bowl, he was the MVP of the Rose Bowl in 1985.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Jack Del Rio will become Denver's seventh DC in seven seasons this year; he was also John Fox's first DC with the Panthers in 2002, Del Rio's only season as an NFL DC. Obviously, the familiarity for the two men is a plus, although presumably a successful 2012 has the great likelihood of Del Rio landing another HC gig the following year. But, let's worry about that when the time comes.
Terms of Denver's deal with Del Rio were not disclosed, although the coach will make $5 million in 2012 - the salary he's owed by the Jaguars. Whatever the Broncos pay him, Jacksonville will owe Del Rio the difference of the two figures. Denver also hired former Jaguars strength coach Luke Richesson.
Happy Friday, Broncos fans! There's apparently quite the rift between Peyton Manning and Colts owner Jim Irsay, who is rather unhappy about Manning's comments to the Indy Star regarding the sudden and vast changes within the organization earlier in the week. Manning had said,
It's not a real good environment down there right now, to say the least. Everybody's walking around on eggshells. I don't recognize our building right now. There's such complete and total change...I mean, it's 20 degrees, it's snowing, the building is absolutely empty except when you see coaches cleaning out their offices...It's unfortunate because so many of them have been such a big part of so many big wins here, and this is so ... sudden. Their keys didn't work the next day. There's no other way to do it?
Irsay's response yesterday:
He's a politician...I don't think it's in a good interest to paint the horseshoe in a negative light, I really don't. He's such a big part of that and everything else, but the horseshoe always comes first....I think one thing that he's always known, because he's been around it so long, is you keep it in the family.
Sounds like it's the end of the Manning Era in Indy, as Phillip Wilson is ready to accept; Bob Kravitz thinks the two men should bury the hatchet before moving on; Dan Wetzel says this all started with Rob Lowe's tweet.
Denver found itself on the receiving end of a lot of awards this season: from all-rookie teams to the Pro Bowl, it's something that the team hasn't found itself getting a lot of over the past few years. Chris Harris and Von Miller made the Pro Football Weekly All-Rookie Team; Orlando Franklin joined them on Mike Tanier's squad. Franklin was also only the second rookie in Broncos history to start at RT over the season and led the team in rushes through his slot for the season. Von Miller, Elvis Dumervil, Champ Bailey, Ryan Clady, Willis McGahee and Brian Dawkins all made the Pro Bowl.
Tim Tebow, Matt Prater and Britton Colquitt were all named as alternates. Those three won't play, and Dawkins may not either, due to his neck injury, but each deserves congratulations for the recognition that they're getting. This is a very different Denver squad from last year, even if many of the names are the same.
Both offensive players who are in, Clady and McGahee, also got in due to injuries to Jake Long and Arian Foster, respectively. Let's look at each:
Good Morning, Broncos fans! The self-appointed Grand Poobah of Denver sports has proclaimed:
1. The Pats are driving deep, early on, and Ravens DE Paul Kruger sacks NE QB Tom Brady off the right tackle edge. The announcer said that he got RT Nate Solder leaning forward, but that wasn't it - I went back several times to watch it because I love trench fighting. Kruger used fast stutter-steps, ala basketball, to get Solder flat-footed for a quick moment, and when that happened he punched hard with his right hand (legally) as he brought his left arm over and in front of himself in a swim move: he just flew past Nate. If you want to see a great pass rushing move, this one works fine. I know that Von Miller has struggled a times with Solder, who's a fine young RT. He may want to work this move in.
2. Patriots NT Vince Wilfork was unstoppable against Denver, but I think that he was even meaner against the Ravens. It takes Denver center J.D. Walton off the hook a little - not a lot, but a little. Wilfork seems to be playing at his highest level in a long time - congratulations to the big fella.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! Jeff Legwold says Denver LB coach Richard Smith and former Jags HC Jack Del Rio are the most likely replacements for Dennis Allen, who left to take the head job in Oakland. Meanwhile, Andrew Mason adds ex-Rams DC Ken Flajole, Packers DL coach Mike Trgovac and Cowboys DL coach Brian Baker as possible candidates; all had coached on John Fox's defensive staff with the Panthers.
Although the glitziest name (by far) among these options, it's worth noting that Del Rio would presumably only take an assistant position as a precursor to lining himself up for another head gig elsewhere. So even if he were to take the job that Mason suggests could be "his to turn down," were Del Rio to be successful in Denver, he'd likely be out the door shortly thereafter. What's the priority for Fox? Get the best man for the job, period? Or, the best man for the job who is also likely to stick around beyond one year? Of course, it could be that Fox believes he can always refill the position with a qualified coach, and one can never know when a coach will get called upon for a promotion - after all, the presumption in this space had been that Allen's youth and relative inexperience would keep him in Denver for at least another year. So much for that.
Thanks, Dennis Allen, for returning the Broncos defense to respectability - it was no minor task. May you have many a second-place finish in your future.
The Broncos have lost defensive coordinator Dennis Allen to Oakland, where he will take over as their new head coach. Denver will again be searching for someone new to run their defense and will start the 2012 season with their seventh DC in as many seasons. Allen had been an assistant for the Saints under DC Gregg Williams before John Fox made him a coordinator for the first time, and like Williams he showed himself a confident and aggressive coach unafraid to dictate terms to opposing offenses.
There's been some speculation that ex-Jags coach Jack Del Rio is a possibility, and Dave Krieger says current Denver LB coach Richard Smith is another option. Del Rio was the Carolina DC for one season under Fox in 2002 before taking the head job in Jacksonville, while Smith has been a DC in Miami (2005) and Houston (2006-08).
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Unfortunately it seems there's another dark side to the disastrous game Niners return man Kyle Williams had on Sunday, and we're not even talking about the death threats. As Giants LB Jacquian Williams tells it, his team's strategy was to focus on Kyle Williams and his history of concussions:
Had the Giants noticed something about Kyle Williams's technique, some weakness in the 49ers punt-return scheme? "Nah," Williams said. "The thing is, we knew he had four concussions, so that was our biggest thing, was to take him outta the game."
Barry Petchesky reacts:
NY Mag wonders if the fact that no beat writers are talking about it means that it's a commonplace tactic. I don't know if anyone would admit it in so many words, but it would be dumb to think otherwise...And it's naive to pretend that players have some sort of ethical obligation not to target the soft spongy neural tissue of others. They've already shown they play with no regard for their own long-term health, so to expect them to look out for each other is asking too much...This is football, and the players and fans have a silent bargain that we're going to live with this and not talk about it more than we have to.

Italy native Eleanora Scarpetta came to prominence about five years ago when she wrote a letter to Martha Stewart claiming that she could teach the domestic goddess a thing or two about canning tomatoes and about Italian-American food in general. Intrigued, Stewart's producers visited the Connecticut housewife and were immediately taken by her home-style cooking methods and outstanding results. They invited her to appear on Stewart's TV show, where she was such a hit that they invited her back a dozen times. Now, Scarpetta has collected her family favorites and Italian-American classics in her debut cookbook, "Eleanora's Kitchen." She was invited on "Today" to talk about the book and to demonstrate some of her dishes. Here are the recipes for those, as well as a couple of others:Recipe: Striped Bass alla Pizzaiola (on this page)
Serves 6 to 8
This dish originated in Sorrento, but is enjoyed throughout Italy. It has been a staple in my home for years, and it's one of my favorite company dishes. Veal topped with prosciutto, grilled eggplant and melted mozzarella — all simmered in a rich tomato-wine sauce — is a mouthwatering secondo (second dish). Chicken or turkey cutlets can be used in place of the veal, if you prefer.
To make the veal:
2. Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the prepared cutlets and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
To make the eggplant:
To make the sauce:
To assemble the dish
Serve Veal Sorrentino as a main course with crusty Italian bread and a salad. I usually like to serve an antipasto platter or Baked Littlenecks Oreganata as a starter.

What the American people should take from this is; it very well could be true and we should all treat it as true (until we know for sure to the contrary) for our own protection.
I'm not saying we should act paranoid, I'm saying the American people should get prepared for war against us and start/continue to prepare like no time in history since the American Revolution.

This featured, supposedly, an anonymous water meter installer describing being accosted by knife, hatchet, baseball bat, and golf club wielding maniacal protesters the sinister fringe.

Details of the methods used, the extent of the torture and the scale of lies and deceit from a government agency are even worse than was already known. Ireland's complicity has already been documented by other reports, but given this new information it is now well past time for a full investigation of the role played by Shannon in the brutal and illegal interrogation undertaken by the CIA. read full story / add a comment

ANIMAL ABUSE aka BLOODSPORTS WILL HAVE SURVIVED 101 YEARS in Millstreet.
The annual Millstreet Hare coursing event set for 3rd/4th Jan 2015 has already caused disgruntled locals to contact ourselves and other direct action Animal rights Groups.
This cruel spectacle actually takes place on a GAA pitch in a local public park. The park in the centre of the town, a favourite with locals, dog walkers, footballers etc however is disrupted for four weeks a year and actually has a rusty dump of an enclosure permanently in place to hold the netted hares for the coursing two day event. All this is allowed in a public park such is the power of the Town Park Committee. The opposition to ending this has prompted people to release the hares on many occasions but sadly they get recaptured and coursed, it fails as too many obstacles stop their escape and they are enclosed behind more wire than can be dismantled, until maybe this year if locals do not give up.

Last Wednesday at 3pm as kids were being collected from the local National school in Oilgate ,Co Wexford locals were confronted by a dead fox being left outside the school gate and blocked roads and congestion . This melee was caused by the local Ballinagore hunt according to Gardai reports.
Also the local church Parish priest has advised the hunt that they were not allowed trespass on church property but they ignored the rule and rode in anyway.
Locals have told us the hunt blocked up the bottle bank area, parked at houses where school parents were collecting kids and the DEAD FOX left outside the school upset children and parents.

Only one year ago, supertyphoon Haiyan killed thousands, displaced millions of people and caused billions of dollars in damage. Communities are still struggling to rebuild their lives, grieving for loved ones lost and are now hit by another typhoon.
The toll in lives and rebuilding will continue to climb and its up to us to stand with the people of the Philippines and hold Big Polluters to account.
Just a few dozen Big Polluters, including major oil, coal and gas companies, are responsible for two-thirds of the pollution. Communities like those affected by Haiyan are footing the bill for their destruction while Big Polluters continue to rake in billions in profits by selling their climate-killing coal, oil and gas.
Right now, negotiators are gathered at the Conference of Parties in Lima, Peru to discuss a global agreement on climate change. Many of them are still doing the bidding of the Big Polluters but we can show them that the world is on the side of the people of the Philippines and wont back down in this fight.
The resilient people of the Philippines are ready to take ambitious action, including legal, against the biggest polluters, and they need us all to stand with them. read full story / add a comment

Friends of the Irish Environment have asked the Court for an order of Mandamus requiring the Commissioner to hear an appeal of the Ministers refusal.
Alex ODonovan, Secretary of Save Bantry Bay [SBB] said that after the official count on 19 February 2014 they understood that the farm had been virtually wiped out.
However Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney refused to release the report on the grounds that it was an 'internal communication' and that the public interest would not be served by the disclosure. read full story / add a comment

I'm reproducing this post here because I think it needs wider circulation. I hope the original poster will forgive
my boldness but It is an important message that should get out to the widest possible audience.
Basically, under instruction from the EU, we will be giving private investors the interest on 28 billion of bank debt instead of paying it
back to the Irish central bank as is currently the case, all with barely a murmur from the Irish media. Meanwhile the distraction storm rages on over a piddling 280 million which MIGHT be repaid to junior bond holders some of which MAY actually be local credit unions etc who are very beneficial to our economy.
Furthermore If interest rates rise in the future we WILL be crucified by huge wasted interest repayments to greedy vulture capitalists. Meanwhile the media have us pissing and moaning over a hypothetical 280 million which MIGHT be repaid mainly to the likes of our own credit unions which will be peanuts compared to these other interest payments most likely going to foreign vulture capitalists read full story / add a comment

finish for pine wood
I purchased a pine bunk bed from IKEA. It is unfinished wood. I've read about how difficult pine can be to stain and i really don't want to paint it. Can I just put a varnish or lacquer on it? I really don't know which is better, what ingredient (shellac, varnish, poly???). Please make suggestions including brands if possible.
Also, should I apply multiple coats? Lastly, should I assemble the furniture and then put on the finish or finish each piece prior to assembling? Thank you!
Certainly, there is no rule that says you cannot leave any wood "natural," that is, without stain. Pine will develop a nice patina over time.
I like the look of shellac on pine. It brings out a lot of chatoyance (luster). It's a fine finish on its own, but most bunk beds are for children and see "extreme use." So you may want to apply a varnish top coat. (Poly[urethane] is just one type of varnish).
You can apply any varnish over a dewaxed shellac base coat (such as Zinsser's SealCoat or Bullseye _Aerosol_). You can apply non-poly varnishes over dewaxed or waxed shellac (Bullseye in a can). If you mix your own from flakes, it will say dewaxed if it is.
Yes, you should apply multiple coats, whatever your finish choice. The first coat, when properly done, will largely be absorbed into the wood surface. More light coats work better than heavy coats. Too heavy coats is one of the most common flaws in varnishing (or shellacking). You end up with brush marks, runs (curtains), puddles, and that "plastic look."
The rule is, "Apply as little as possible to ensure complete coverage." For a typical table or desk top, I'll typically use about 1/4 cup of finish per coat, as a point of reference.
Finishing before assembly is fine. It is sometimes easier to reach the tight spots, reduces the number of concave corners, and makes keeping a wet edge easier. The only problem is if there are joints that need to fit together and/or be glued. Glue will not stick well to a finished surface. Either mask them off or go ahead with the assembly first. IF there is KD hardware, you should be fine.

Capt. Lewis:
the peduncle is soletary, proceeds from the root, is columner, smooth, leafless, and rises to the height of 2 or 2-1/2 feet.
Pass cursor over image to read details.
"[The pedicel] supports from 10 to forty flowers, which are each supported by a separate footstalk of 1/2 an inch in length, scattered without order on the upper portion of the peduncle."
Prof. Reveal:
Unlike many modern botanists, Lewis clearly understood the difference between a peduncle (the stalk that holds the inflorescence and arises from the bulb) and a pedicel (the stalk that holds an individual flower). In describing the inflorescence, Lewis states that the "10 to forty flowers" are on a "footstalk." The term "footstalk" is equal to "pedicel" so that the individual flowers are pedicellate, or "on a pedicel."
Glossarypedicel--"The stalk of a single flower in an inflorescence."
peduncle--"The stalk of an inflorescence or of a solitary flower." The word comes from pedunculus, a diminutive of the Latin pes, ped-, meaning foot.
inflorescence--"A flower cluster of a plant, or, more correctly, the arrangement of the flowers on the axis."
Supported in part by a grant from the Idaho Governor's Lewis and Clark Trail Committee.

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Azkals settled for a 1-3 defeat to the Chicago Inferno to kick off their United Stats tour Sunday morning.
The Azkals surrendered three goals in the first half, the first coming in the seventh minute courtesy of the Inferno's Carl Haworth.
The Inferno made it 2-0 in the 14th minute, and added another goal in the 31st.
The Azkals' defense was more organized in the second half, and they finally broke through in the 73rd minute when Carli de Murga slotted in the ball off a long pass.
The Azkals' US tour continues next Saturday, August 18, when they take on the US Virgin Islands in Indianapolis, Indiana. --Dateline Philippines, ANC, August 12, 2012.

A-F Delayed
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The state Board of Education is delaying the release of a new system that grades Oklahoma's schools.
Officials had planned to release the new grades Monday, but the Board of Education voted to delay the release until its next meeting on Oct. 25.
The new system evaluates schools on an A-to-F grading scale.
Several school officials and superintendents oppose the new system and question the formula that's used to determine a school's letter grade.
The new system was approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature in 2011 as a way to provide easy-to-understand information to parents.

Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Boston Red Sox optioned outfielder Daniel Nava to Triple-A Pawtucket and recalled pitcher Alex Wilson on Wednesday.
Nava has struggled this season hitting .149 with two doubles, two home runs, three RBI and seven runs scored in 17 games. The 31-year-old has split his time with the Red Sox in right field, left field, and at first base.
Wilson, who was the first pitcher from Saudi Arabia to appear in a major league game, has pitched eight scoreless innings for Pawtucket this season. Last season, he made his major league debut and went 1-1 with a 4.88 ERA in 26 games with the Red Sox.

March 15, 2013
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration yesterday posted rule exemptions for agricultural transporters that were ordered up in last year's highway law.
The rule expands an hours-of-service exemption for farm-related transport during planting and harvesting seasons. Formerly, drivers hauling ag commodities within a 100 air-mile radius of the farm were exempt. The rule expands that to 150 air miles.
It also creates new exemptions for "covered farm vehicles" and their drivers. The exemptions go to the CDL requirement, drug and alcohol testing and hours of service limits, among other things.
For details go to yesterday's Federal Register.

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel will release a Pentagon budget Monday calling for reduction in the number of U.S. Army personnel and new lower limits on military pay.
President Obama's Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiators are set to receive big money bonuses from banks.
The Obama administration is mulling the legal issues of sending a drone to kill an American allegedly working with al-Qaeda in Pakistan.
The Washington Post cites an unnamed U.S. official claiming that the Obama administration has committed to reducing the number of drone strikes in Pakistan.
As uncertainty grows surrounding a radical and deeply controversial addition to the sprawling U.S. tax regime, the Obama administration is now reportedly in negotiations with Moscow to share financial information with Vladimir Putin's Russian government. The U.S. Treasury's effort to secure a pseudo-treaty on data exchange with the Kremlin is part of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, a scheme passed in 2010 aiming to obliterate privacy worldwide under the supposed guise of collecting about an extra billion dollars per year in revenue.
If approved, the unconstitutional bilateral agreement would represent a major victory for Putin, a KGB man widely criticized around the world for operating what opponents refer to as a "gangster" regime.

Congress Not Expected To Accomplish Much Before Recess
The summer recess for Congress begins in August, but lawmakers still have immigration and the Highway Trust Fund on their plate, with no expected resolution of either. Democrats and Republicans have, however, managed to put together a Veteran Affairs bill that will be announced today.
NPR's Ron Elving joins Here & Now's Robin Young to discuss the week in politics, and what effect a long break may have on unresolved issues.

Syrian refugee children play near a refugee camp made of abandoned buildings and tents in the village of Alman in the Chouf.(File photo/The Daily Star/Mohammed Zaatari)
BEIRUT/TRIPOLI, Lebanon: A Syrian refugee was arrested for strangling his eight-month-old son to death because he was crying, security sources said Tuesday.
The sources said Hasan Ayesh smothered his son late Monday in their home in Miniara, in the northern province of Akkar, because he wouldn't stop crying.
Ayesh buried his son near their home, thinking that he might get away with his crime, the sources told The Daily Star.
They said neighbors reported the suspicious activity to the police who launched an investigation.
Ayesh was arrested a few hours later at a store in the northern town of Kousha, according to the sources.

3 thoughts on "There is a War being Waged on Christians, and Christmas"
Jan Brown
I find it, for lack of a better word right now, I say it's ironic that the media rails on the injustices that so many in (other) countries aren't allowed to practice the Christian tenets & are jailed or killed for doing so…..while many are trying to erase the symbols (private & public displays and trying to prohibit any mention of the faith by enacting laws that will take away this freedom they deem so horrid in other countries.
Christians have always been persecuted and perhaps always will be. I often think that is why we, in the face of our enemy have HIS rod and HIS staff to comfort & protect us.
These 'people' must have a huge void inside & fear what they don't know or understand. What a dreadful way to go through life…when all they need do is ..to ask.
a SPECIAL PRAYER FOR THOSE THAT ARE LOST AND OUR FANTASTIC MILITARY FAMILIES.
Derrell Poole
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you too, Richard.

For example, say your BFF did something that hurt your
feelings, but you never told her how upset you were. If you keep bottling up
your feelings, you'll resent her company and your friendship will fall apart.
It's time to air that dirty laundry babe. We're with ya every step of the way.
Remember, the
occasional serious chat with your bud might be difficult, but it's gonna be great for your friendship. Just
because you have things to say doesn't mean you have to be rude or make her
defensive. Honesty and sincerity are key, sweetie.
First, let your friend know how much you truly care, and how valuable your friendship is to you. Let
her know that the purpose of this talk is to express your feelings and hear
hers so that you can actually be together without any "bad blood" or hidden
Then let her know what you have been feeling lately. If there is something that she did that hurt your
feelings, let her know. Tell her exactly why what she did hurt your feelings,
and exactly how it made you feel. Just remember to be respectful while doing
this. It isn't easy to hear that you hurt someone's feelings, so your best
friend may be hurt or even angry to hear what you have to say.
After you have expressed your thoughts, share the
positives. Let her know how much she means
to you, and maybe even tell her specific examples of times she helped you out
or made you feel better.
Let her have her say.
She may have been holding things back from you as well. For the friendship to
thrive, your best friend needs to be able to tell you how she is feeling as

Ok, I've been less than happy with Washington Mutual for the last few months but now I'm finally ready to take my money out and find another bank. Can you all help out and share your experiences with the banks listed below? I've got a few I'm interested in, but I really can't find very many reviews on their services.
Bank of America
Wells Fargo
Butte Community Bank
Umqua Bank
Tri Counties Bank
Any others you can suggest would be fantastic also.
No more WaMu? Chase is a decent enough bank.
If you are the kind of person who always has problems with retailers and service provides (and of course those problems are never your fault) you will never like any bank for very long and should just stay put.
If you are a reasonable person, I like BoA, Wells Fargo and ING Direct.
I switched to a Credit Union based in GA not too long ago, the difference is awesome. The lines aren't ridiculous and you get to talk to people that don't treat you like a number. I would look into that if you're willing to part from the mega-banks...
I use Bank of America, they seem ok. I liked how your debit card has your photo on them. I also use the "keep the change" service and its nice to watch the savings account grow with each transaction. No fees, tons of locations.
I have been through 5 banks in the past 8 years, the only one that never screwed me over was the local credit union. But we moved to far away from their location.
Sounds like you need business type account rather than a personal one.
IME That's usually the only way you'll have same or next day availability of funds.
