Tiny caterpillars destroying my zinnias?!
A few weeks ago I spotted an ugly leaf on one of my Zinnias, when I pinched it off, I saw the underside was covered with these tiny caterpillar looking bugs.They were about the size of a baby's nail clipping. I killed them and thought nothing more of it. Now they are everywhere. Some are about the length of a dime now. In the morning and evenings you can find them in clusters, during the day I have a hard time finding them at all, and when I do they are alone. I am almost positive they are responsible for the damage. The plants that have no caterpillars have none of the damage. Additionally the leaves' undersides that have been engulfed in them were the ones that are damaged.
I found some egg masses of some sort on other zinnias today when taking pictures and I am assuming those are their eggs, maybe recently vacated, I dunno. I noticed a few young lady bugs too, which I hope will help. Anyone know what these are. I found none in the marigolds or the citrus tree that's smack in the middle of the small garden. Any help would be appreciated!
damage pic
and finally the nasty caterpillar:
Photo isn't totally clear. But if that cluster of small white things is what you consider eggs, not so.
Instead, cocoons of tiny, non-stinging wasps whose parent laid eggs in one of the caterpillars. (Oh yeah -- and the caterpillar is now dead.)
All I could suggest is that you pick them off and squish them as you find them.
I am having trouble finding any info on species of caterpillars that attack Zinnias.
The one site that I did find that mentioned them simply repeated what I said. To hand-pick them.
While I don't have the cocoons, I do have these bothersome caterpillars. I pick them off every time I am in the garden, but there are always more. Often they leave what I assume are droppings (brown little dots the size of pepper) on the leaves and then the leaves are damaged. Yesterday the caterpillar was inside the bud of the flower eating out the insides.
Is there anything else you've done to get rid of these guys?
I got these grey catipillars on my zinnias. The one dude actually wiggle into the flower bud and ate it from inside. I've only seen a couple. At first I thought they didn't get watered but then noticed my seeds were eaten.
They move pretty fast for bugs.
Bacillus thuringiensis is not a magic elixar cure all but a specific toxin for leaf eating larva in the early stage of life. Spraying BtK beyond that early life stage is a waste of your money since it will not do what it is supposed to.
As with any insect control you need to look at what you have and determine if this insect really needs control, is the damage the insect doing too much to allow to continue?, or can this insect be allowed to continue to grow. Is this the larva of a butterfly that may be something desireable or is it a not desireable adult something? Are there predators around that will control these wee buggers, or have I sprayed something around that killed all of them off, or have they not arrived yet because there was not enough of this food source around?
As a rule, insects that eat seeds do not eat growing plants so you need to know which you have before any control measures are taken.
I had a great blue lobelia growing in front of my house- it bloomed this year and I saw a hummingbird in my yard for the first time ever. I was so excited. The blooms were beautiful, attracting bumblebees. The leaves didn't look so great, but it's been a bad year weather-wise and with pests too, so didn't know what it could be. Decided to let it go and enjoy this late-blooming plant. I noticed a brown spider had set up residence in the leaves, and thought great!!! He'll eat anything bad that might come this plants way. Well, it has been covered in green caterpillars, and the more I picked, the more there seemed to be. Poop everywhere.
No sprays. Hoping spider would eat cp's. Nope.
What "good guys" eat caterpillars?
Birds don't get that close to my house to be of help.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 nights
This is a no smoking property.
We are offering our cozy 3 bedroom house sitting in the hills above Sunset Beach and Pipeline. Ideal for one person, one couple, or 2 couples. Larger parties can rent the A-frame cottage which is also on the property. This remodeled house sits on over 2 acres of botanical gardens and is very private. The perfect hideaway only 5 minutes drive from the beach. Please check our website www.ftwhawaii.com
We rent by the month.
I am in a rush as I have just arrived back to the mainland and have a ton of work to catch up on, but I didn't want too much time to pass before I got around to telling you how much my husband and I LOVED your home. We have already started telling all of our friends and family about how wonderful it was (as well as scheming about ways that we could get back there someday!). It was a perfect respite for the weekend, and we absolutely adore your taste and what you've done with the entire space.
Thanks for making our trip to Hawaii even more relaxing and memorable.
I highly recommend this property. Dealing with Todd was a joy - my only comment is that he actually under-rated the beauty and tranquility of his house and its surroundings. The hillside house is beautifully appointed, and Todd has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The views from every room are amazing, and you feel as though you are perched in a tree-house in the middle of a lush jungle. The kitchen had all the amenities of a gourmet kitchen and we enjoyed staying in and cooking on several nights during our stay. In the mornings, it was great waking up early and going for a hike in the area before driving down to the beach for the day. And the best snorkeling beaches are just a few minutes away! I traveled with my husband and our college-aged daughter, and we all agreed that this was one of the best vacations our family ever had.
The house was really terrific. An architectural masterpiece, beautifully placed on a gated lot with an absolutely unique the "Jungle" view. Enchanting. We enjoyed jogging up the quiet road and also made a wonderful loop hike including the Kaunala trail. The beaches near the house were real favorites for all of us, most of all with our kids. We snorkeled, swam with turtles, and played in the surf. The Foodland grocery store near the house made shopping a breeze and the proximity to other towns and even Honolulu really made this the best stay we've ever had on any of the Hawaiian islands. We were a bit worried about the lack of AC, but the location of the house brings in very consistent cool breezes and we really did not miss it. The house was also very well supplied. Towels, soaps, paper supplies, you name it. Also Excellent TV and Wifi, washing machine, dishwasher, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach. Thanks for being more thoughtful than the typical vacation rental. We hope to be back in the future!
Los Angeles, CA
Stayed here with my husband, mother and father over the holiday season and loved it! It was perfect for the four of us and very peaceful as it's nestled in a lush rain forest. Waimea beach is only 5 minutes drive and it's close to Foodlands down the road which was perfect for food and wine. Would recommend it to anyone who travels to the North Shore!
This place is great! Very comfortable and private. Beautifully situated on the edge of tropical forest preserve. Great spot for hiking, biking and running all within a mile or so of the North Shore's fantastic beaches. Highly Recommended!
We couldn't have found a better house to enjoy our honeymoon on Oahu's North Shore. Lucky score! For those who wish to truly get away and be in a peaceful island jungle setting with plenty of privacy, this is the place. Very well thought out design of house and interior. Easy comfortable living; with neat original touches throughout. Gated property offers a secure sense of well being and solitude. Drive up the hill from the coolest stretch of the North Shore beaches is a treat every time because the expansive view is panoramic beauty. Most of our stay was chilling out at the house enjoying the floor to ceiling window views peering into the jungle forest. Plenty of sun and rain and calm. Thanks again Todd for a real hidden gem! Be back as soon as we can!
Incredible place to stay!!!! This was our second time staying here and we absolutely love the lush forest surrounding the property and how private it is. What I love the most though about this house is all the furniture & decor...from vintage hawaiian to modern- it was a far cry from your typical cheaply furnished vacation rental. Every room has something unique. The pictures really don't do it justice- it really was hard to leave.

Red Wings' Swedes prepare for border war semifinal; Detroit-watching teammates eager to watch drama
by George Malik on 02/20/14 at 05:02 PM ET
Comments (0)
Updated 3x at 6:25 PM: Minus oodles of foreign-language translation, let's just say that the Finns and Swedes have something of a contentious history, and as such, tomorrow morning's semifinal between the "Teemu Forever" crew and the Red Wings' Swedes (7 AM EST on NBCSN and TSN; the U.S.-Canada game will air at 12 PM on NBCSN and the CBC) might be nearly as scrappy as today and tomorrow's border battles between the Americans and Canadians.
Team Sweden captain Niklas Kronwall told ESPN's Scott Burnside and Pierre LeBrun that the countries have a very passionate rivalry...
The two nations have a long history with each other. As Swedish defenseman Niklas Kronwall put it: "It goes way back, obviously. The two countries have always competed in everything; in sports in particular. I think it's hard for people outside to really understand what the rivalry is all about." And while the Swedes boast greater talent with stars Nicklas Backstrom, Henrik Lundqvist, Erik Karlsson and Daniel Sedin, the Finns are not to be trifled with. Just ask Russia.
And for the present moment, both Daniel Alfredsson and Kronwall (joined in the fight by Jonathan Ericsson, Gustav Nyquist and goalie-caddy Jonas Gustavsson) told Burnside that the Tre Kronor's ("Three Crowns") status(es) as both an under-the-radar and slowly-improving team will hopefully continue on their present trajectories:

Red Wings associate coach Tom Renney wouldn't mind seeing the Olympics become a young NHLers' game
by George Malik on 02/20/14 at 03:03 PM ET
Comments (0)
Via RedWingsFeed, today's been a busy day in terms of Red Wings practice news and updates regarding Jakub Kindl (had a sprained MCL), Stephen Weiss (going to Grand Rapids for one game) and both Riley Sheahan and Tomas Jurco (appear on track to start the post-Olympic-break schedule with the Wings), but Red Wings associate coach Tom Renney's comments to CBS Detroit's Ashley Dunkak merit mentioning because Renney believes that the spate of Olympic-related injuries might require a response that would alter the shape of professional hockey players' participation:
Maybe the time has come with through the progression of, in Canada the Program of Excellence, and [in] the United States the National Development Program, where that now becomes an under-23 event," Renney said, "and you re-engage the World Cup and have that on the quadrennial, let the young great players in our game, if that's where they are, play at the under-23 level, if you will, and it still becomes an exciting and outstanding event.
"But maybe as the players get on, it doesn't put them in such a precarious position in terms of injuries and fatigue and those types of things to come back to their club team and do what is expected of them as most likely leaders and all that kind of stuff on their teams," Renney continued.
Renney is not fan of the concept of moving Olympic hockey to summer, however:

Red Wings' Weiss headed to Grand Rapids; Jurco, Sheahan to stay up(?)
by George Malik on 02/20/14 at 02:23 PM ET
Comments (6)
Updated 3x at 4:34 PM: I'd usually stick this in today's practice post, but this is significant news in itself:
Here's Pleiness's article about Weiss--who will be accompanied to Grand Rapids by Teemu Pulkkinen, Riley Sheahan, Adam Almquist and Cory Emmerton, who the Red Wings' beat writers reported were simply brought up for practice purposes (the Wings take tomorrow off and Bill Roose reports they'll skate at the University of Ligett School in Grosse Pointe Woods on Saturday and Sunday):
Weiss is still recovering from sport hernia surgery on Dec. 23. He expects to be cleared prior to Wednesday's game in Montreal.
"I don't know about specific games, I just know that we were shooting for after the break to be ready to be available to play," Weiss said. "So that's obviously going to be up to the coaches whether or not they put me in the lineup but that's still the plan: to be ready and available for those first couple of games back."
Weiss will play Sunday in Grand Rapids when the Griffins host the Milwaukee Admirals.
The Grand Rapids Griffins host the Oklahoma City Barons on Friday and Saturday and will host Milwaukee on Sunday, so the warm body will be appreciated.
Update: THIS IS GOOD NEWS:

Zetterberg Will See A Back Specialist In New York
by Paul on 02/20/14 at 08:59 AM ET
Comments (19)
from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
Zetterberg's tournament ended a week ago, when he was forced to pull out as captain of Team Sweden because of a herniated disk in his back. He boarded an NHL charter red-eye Wednesday in Sochi and is scheduled to see a back specialist in New York after landing there today.
Team Sweden's doctor has said Zetterberg is likely to need surgery, but the question is when. Until a doctor says otherwise, the Wings are hoping Zetterberg can still play again this season.
"He's got to see a specialist to make that final determination," Holland said.

Like Paul, I'm going to try and lay low after pulling a week's worth of 2 to-4-AM wake-up calls on Thursday. The Olympics have been exciting to follow but absolutely grueling in terms of wear and tear on my far-less-than-100% self.
Aside from some Olympic practices today, as Yahoo Sports' Dmitry Chesnokov reported, the first wave of NHL'ers will head back to North America ahead of Friday's semifinals...
Though this Tweet from Sport-Express's Slava Malamud is eyebrow-raising:

Grand Rapids Griffins coach Jeff Blashill takes battle against muscular dystrophy to the ice
by George Malik on 02/19/14 at 04:56 PM ET
Comments (0)
This story from the Grand Rapids Press's Peter J. Wallner speaks for itself:
Grand Rapids Griffins coach Jeff Blashill remembers the emotional struggle Rob Facca went through as his son, Louie, battled Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy while they coached together at Western Michigan University.
Their friendship and Blashill's desire to help fight the disease persists.
"He remains to this day a very, very good friend of mine," said Blashill, who hired Facca, now the associate head coach of the Broncos. "I got to see, No. 1, the beginning of their battle with this, and No. 2, to see how Rob and (wife) Nikki and Louie live their lives as fighters. ... They refuse to let it ruin their daily lives."
Blashill, who coached WMU in 2010-11, has pledged $100 toward disease research for each goal by the Griffins against Oklahoma City in home games Friday and Saturday. It coincides with an Ice Duchenne weekend planned at Western Michigan.

Chicken coop bedding
I'm looking for optiosn for bedding for a chicken coop. We acquired a flock with the purchase of our house last June. 52 of 'em. Doesn't have an outdoor run, that's planned for this spring (I hope). The previous owner was using wood shavings, but that's $25-$30 per muck out. We tried straw, that was a downright disaster. I had considered trying sawdusts, but figured I'd get some experienced opinions before using the stuff - or if there's an alternative I haven't considered.
I do what is called "deep littering" in my coop using wood shavings. I only clean my coop once a year, but I also only have 10 chickens. But, the deep littering would probably work given the area you live in. Try googling "deep litter method" and there are sites to give you the pros and cons. Basically it is just to put 4 or 5 inches of bedding down and let the chickens turn it over themselves by scratching around. The manure provides some extra heat as well. I usually sprinkle corn scratch in the coop every morning and the chickens turn over the bedding everyday. It never smells and I add new shavings on top every once in a while, but not very often. It works for me.
Deep litter wouldn't quite work. In the summer, what you say they pretty much do. I last mucked it out in Octobeer. But when winter sets in, it all freezes into hard-packed "mud" - even though it's not mud. To make matters worse... it went significatnly above freezing overnight. Now it's thick slimy "mud".
m rather new to the whole livestock thing - they came with the house, and my wife wanted them. Personally, I think the area they are in is too small for their numbers - and with the demand for fresh eggs here, I wanted to try to increase the flock somewhat. Having the outdoor run is sure to help, but we're still looking at 4-6 huge bags of shavings every time I clean it out - given how bad the place can get, I have to do it at least 3 times a year.
gets me a lot of manure for the gardens, though.
I use cedar sawdust, though I have only a few chickens and about a dozen ducks, it works well for me. I also go in there and stir it up with a cultivator once in a while.
I've used fallen leaves with ducks, they seemed to like that quite a bit. Wood chips from the utility company worked pretty well too.
We used straw last year when it got really cold. The rats tunneled under it and we had a huge colony of rats by spring. yuck!
The rule of thumb is an absolute minimum of 10 square feet of coop space per chicken if they are enclosed all the time, and 4 square feet per chicken if they have an outside run.
If you have 52 confined chickens, your coop area should be 520 square feet. Say, walls 23 feet long (small barn).
If the litter is wet, add more on top. Topping it off is easier and requires less litter than starting from the ground up. That said, if you're only spending $30 on litter after a complete muck out, your space is indeed likely much too small. Aim for 4 inches deep, to start.
P.S. Source: Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens by Gail Damerow
We buy our shavings from a local saw mill. You shovel them yourself, and they are only $1 per bag--we use the huge carpenter clean-up bags (larger than lawn & leaf). When I was in another town, it was $5 for a pick-up truck load, but you had to shovel yourself. Well worth it for the price. See if there is a small mill in the surrounding area.
Sounds like you have an air exchange problem? The reason the litter is so wet is probably due to not enuff ventilation, unless they are just over crowded. Daily stirring of the litter can help. I only clean out evey couple years but I never keep too many fowl per sq. ft. Pine shavings seems to be the preferred litter of most people and I have good results mixing in shredded nesw print & shredded DRY leaves. I have used hay and straw with good resultes if shredded but not in unshredded form, it mats and stays damp.
Overcrowding will be the issue. I *might* have 23' in length... need to measure it when the snow lets up a bit. But I definitely don't have 23' in width... 10' if I'm lucky. So, yet another unhappy surprise from the former owner.
There's an old stable on the property which would be more than large enough... roof came off it a few years back, though, need to find the money to replace it.
I've read of someone using cat litter... which I don't want because I'd like to compost the waste, but it got me wondering: since the environmentally friendly Felinepine came out, I wondered if I could use pine bark mulch. I already get it for my garden beds and I think I'd throw it right into the beds. My son has snakes and uses it in the same way. They come in a smaller grade of dime size pieces that I think might work nicely.... Maybe I'd have to use the straw in the nest boxes though.
Chicken coop bedding material make good fuel for boiler. We design and supply mini boilers + Steam turbine Generators ( 1KW to 50KW). But these are not for backyard coops with 3-10 birds.
You are having a professional coop, then you clear the bedding daily. Burn it in boiler to produce steam. The steam is used to drive the turbine to generate electricity. the steam exhaust from turbine is diverted to radiators in winter to heat the space and then return to boiler to produce steam.
Power generation capacity depends on the bedding material available on daily basis.
So you get power, heat the house and also get hot water from the coop bedding material which anyway you will burn to ash. Why not burn it to get power? Contact email@example.com to know more.
Best wishes,

Rock The Bike Utilizes Power Efficiency of JBL PRX Series Loudspeakers To Drive Environmental Awareness
In a highly creative and environmentally forward-thinking application of JBL PRX portable loudspeakers, Rock the Bike, a designer and manufacturer of bicycles with an eye on raising the awareness of the âbike culture,â? has employed PRX loudspeakers at several of its live music events, which are run on human power generated on bicycles.
For its live events, Rock the Bike designed a pedal-powered stage, which enables one or many individuals to ride stationary bicycles in place, which in turn power the audio system as the artists perform. âItâs been a steady progression to thisâmost of our performances used to be primarily in the streets and running off battery power,â? said Paul Freedman of Rock The Bike. âThen we started hooking up with people interested in human power and over the past year, weâve put a lot of energy into creating our own pedal-powered stage.â?
Thanks to the efficiency of the JBL PRX Series, Rock the Bike employs PRX535 speakers for its main sound reinforcement system. âBecause weâre an environmentally conscious group, the PRX speakers are a perfect fit, plus theyâre lightweight so we can easily transport them on our cargo bicycles,â? Freedman said. âI also really like the PRX speakers because the low/mid/high knobs on my mixer correspond directly with the low/mid/high drivers in the speaker, which make them very easy to use.â?
Rock the Bike relies on volunteers from the audience to pedal the bikes, something that has never posed a challenge. âIf there are a lot of people at an event, we have no problem getting volunteers from the crowd to keep a 2-bike pedal-powered system going,â? Freedman said. âWe position them close to the stage so they have a good view of the performers, and theyâre literally supporting the music with their power.â?
While the pedal-powered stage contributes to a sense of community at the live events, the system has taken an ironic (but intentional) back seat to the actual performances, as a result of its own efficiency. âThe pedal-powered stage used to be the center of attention at our shows, but with the sound quality of the PRX speakers, along with our ability to make the pedal-power bikes quieter, the audience is getting absorbed into the music without even thinking about the pedal power,â? Freedman added. âThatâs our goal: to keep the music excellent and help spread the spirit of the bike.â?
Since employing the pedal-powered stage, Rock the Bike has supported events ranging from rock star performances to a press conference at City Hall in San Francisco. âWe recently powered a show by Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam,â? Freedman said. âHe was only supposed to play the first song of his set through pedal power, but he ended up playing the entire set with it because he got such a great response from the crowd.â?

For the past several months, the electro consortium behind the Speakeasy Soundsessions has been bringing some of the best electro DJs in the region and the world to Miami. This week sees Chris Roman driving down from the Tampa area to make an appearance for Speakeasy's occasional blowout, Electro Base. Roman recently released his debut album as TwoFourteen, Esemplastic, for the British label Mikrolux. Anyone who appreciates the Rephlex sound should check out Roman; his tracks sputter and bleed with the same disturbing forcefulness.

Explore the AT: Nantahala Headwaters Loop
It is one of the longest thru-trails in the United States, and definitely the most popular. Take a weekend, and hike this loop through the Headwaters of the Nantahala river to get a glimpse of the forests of North Carolina. (more information can be seen here)
This loop travels around the southern portion of the Nanatahala National Forest, tracing the basin from which the same-named river originates. The trail is a popular one with backpackers, as it can be tailored to fit different lengths depending on the trail used to connect to the AT, and there are several 5,000+ peaks that give tremendous views into the surrounding countryside.
I began the loop on the Long Branch Trail from the Standing Indian Backcountry information station. The trail winds up for ~1.75 miles before connecting to the AT. Turning up, you walk along rhododendron tunnels and deciduous forests until reaching Albert Mountain, about 5.5 miles from the trailhead. This can be a good place to camp for the night, but I found that I had topped out after only 4 hours on the trail, and still had some juice in me. Plus, water on Albert Mountain was scarce, and I was running low. So after climbing the fire tower, looking out over the forest which was to be my home for the next couple days, I descended the much steeper southern side of Albert and headed on, through to Betty Creek Gap. There are several pleasant camping sites there, and the creek was gurgling happily. It made for a nice night, after about 7.7 miles of hiking.
The second day was a much longer segment, pushing all the way to Standing Indian, but much of it is along ridges or keeping flat along the same elevation, so it didn't seem as much. Water was plentiful at the shelters or even a couple creek crossings, so don't worry about your water levels. The hike is pleasant, and this is probably the quietest portion of the trail (as it is furthest from other day hike-in points). The final section to Standing Indian isn't very steep either, which helps make this direction a better option in my opinion (see below). Camping on Standing Indian, there are a few spots right at the top with beautiful views across the mountains to the south. As noted elsewhere, these tend to fill up quickly; I arrived around 3:30, and within an hour they were all taken. But it is a fantastic place to relax and you get great sunsets over the Blue Ridges. Note: watch out for the insects... when I was there the top of Standing Indian was covered, and they were thick all about. Long pants and repellent work, but keep an eye out for them.
To wrap up the loop, I chose to descend the Lower Ridge Trail (~ 4 miles) rather than Kimsey Creek Trail. Mostly it was logistic; I stayed on the top of Standing Indian, and the junction was right there, whereas Kimsey I'd have to hike down past the shelter another 1.5 miles before hooking up with the 5.5 miles of Kimsey. (So if you stay at the shelter rather than the summit, Kimsey Creek is a better choice). The Lower Ridge Trail was quiet and beautiful, but I ended up giving it the name Knee-a-saurus, because it was a steep monster that ate knees for breakfast. The trail drops 2000 ft in these 4 miles, making a steep grade the whole way through. Keep the trekking poles at the ready. At times it was rocky too, I nearly turned an ankle twice.
It is a beautiful trail, with a good portion along the AT, and very customizable for different lengths and abilities. Camping is readily accessible at the shelters, and water is not an issue. The trail pace is gentle, without any major ascents that will kill you, and the scenery invites you to take your time and enjoy each step. A great weekend outing!

The Coffee Cup
Sad to see the Cup has finally lost it's battle with Atlanta-based Beazer Homes.
When the doors of the Coffee Cup first opened in the late 1940's Charlotte was still segregated. In its final days of operation, the Coffee Cup was proudly recognizable as the oldest and most integrated restaurant in the city. What made the Coffee Cup so memorable? Consistency!!! The passing of the proverbial baton not only included the restaurant name, menu, counter, stools, tables, booths, and recipes but, most importantly, the atmosphere. Each new owner amazingly embraced the culture and found it important to maintain and protect it. The face of Charlotte is changing. Taller buildings, neighborhoods are now communities-but one thing remained the same for over 60 years: The Coffee Cup. A (sadly) lost piece of Charlotte's history. A place where different ethnic backgrounds came together on a common ground for one main reason….Good Food and Friendly Conversation.
Wing Haven Gardens & Bird Sanctuary
Wing Haven has been a special part of Charlotte since its creation by Elizabeth and Edwin Clarkson in 1927. The gardens, enclosed on all sides by brick walls, encompass almost three acres in the heart of Charlotte and include lovely vistas, formal gardens, and woodland areas. Throughout, the emphasis is on plantings for birds and other wildlife - providing cover, nesting sites, food, and water. Plaques and statuary, integrated into the garden walls and paths, reflect the spirit and beauty of Wing Haven and its creators.
Located at 248 Ridgewood Avenue.

Concord, North Carolina is a suburb of Charlotte just across the Cabarrus County line. It is famous for two things: the Lowes Motor Speedway and Concord Mills Mall. People who visit only concentrate on those things, but there is a perfectly good downtown area with notable architecture (exemplified by the old courthouse). There are no chains to be found, but there is the Cabarrus Creamery.
Pineville 28134
Pineville, North Carolina is an as-yet unspoilt suburb of Charlotte located in Southern Mecklenburg County just north of the state line, There is a small downtown area with what a lot of urban types would call quaint antique shops. By 2010, you may well see Pineville lose its rural nature from both sides: from the north- upscale suburbs moving south from Ballantyne. From the south, less upscale homes in Fort Mill, South Carolina.
Watch Airplanes Take Off at Charlotte Douglas
An official overlook maintained and operated by the city of Charlotte, this small park overlooks runway 18R at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and provides an excellent view of the tarmac and terminals as well as the skyscrapers of Charlotte that are off in the distance. This spot is a great place for both amateur and professional photographers, especially aviation ones. Planes are within approximately 850 feet of you. There are several benches to sit on that are positioned in front of the parking spots. However, if you want a different angle to view planes landing and taking off, there is a side walk outside the overlook's gates that follows the road all the way to and past the end of the runway. Like at the overlook, there are benches located there as well. Planes fly directly overhead from this spot at the end of the runway, probably no more than 100 feet above you. But make sure you park at the overlook and walk to this spot. Parking on the side of the road is illegal and cops will pull over and get you (obvious security reasons). The overlook opens at 8am and closes at 10:30pm. It is usually most crowded during midday all week and late evenings on the weekends. The area around the overlook consists of mostly industrial places that are spread out and construction sites (they are building a new runway), so be aware of your surroundings. Crime isn't a problem, but the area is rather empty and isolated. So I recommend going with a companion. The Overlook is located on Old Dowd Rd.

Carolina Raptor Center
A living museum where you can get an up-close look at birds of prey. A trail through the woods takes you past aviaries with live raptors that have been injured/disabled and could not survive in the wild. Carolina Raptor Center is open everyday of the week, but there are usually programs or tours on weekends. Entrance fee is minimal, and all the money goes to help rehabilitate injured birds. Located within Latta Plantation Nature Preserve off from Beatties Ford Road just north of Charlotte. Look for the brown sign on I-77 or get directions from the website.

Lake Norman boat/jet ski
It's a bit of trek - but Lake Norman is good fun.
I hired a jet ski and had a burn.
Warning: It is easy to get disoriented as the Lake is a bit featureless - at least for a visitor.
Some nice housing communities if you are looking to buy a BIG HOME.
South Carolina
The South Carolina line is just a few minutes from Mark's doorstep or any point in Charlotte. The proximity is so close that a good number of people who work by day in Uptown Charlotte commute to places like Fort Mill and Rock Hill in York County, just across the line. It should further be noted that the local theme park called Carowinds is bisected by the state line.
In March, 2003, Mark and I had an unexpected wild adventure passing through South Carolina. The original plan was for Mark and me to briefly cross into South Carolina during the course of our first tour of Charlotte, but on the way home from Asheville, Mark took a wrong turn and followed Route 26 as opposed to route 74. This detour to South Carolina turned out to be about twice as expensive as a meal for 2 at one of the fancy restaurants I call "Food Network Specials". A South Carolina state trooper paced him going 80 mph (129 km./hr.) in a 60 mph (97 km./hr.) zone. The trooper flashed his headlights and pulled Mark over. The police don't give you any kind of break when you speed in South Carolina.
On the second trip (where parts of South Carolina were on our itinerary), I attempted to snap a photo of a welcome sign on I-77 en route to Columbia. The photo did not turn out as well as I would like, so my friend and native South Carolinian "ClarkRB" hooked me up with one. This one says "Spartanburg County" which is near Charlotte and through which I have passed on a couple of occasions before.
Outdoor activities in/near Charlotte
If you are looking for outdoor activities, golf courses are abound in Charlotte, albeit a bit expensive. If you're looking for a fun day hike, Crowders Mountain is the closest hiking opportunity 30 minutes away in Gastonia. Actually, rock climbers also come to Crowders to hone their skills.
There are six solid mountain biking trails in the Charlotte area as well. These include Renaissance Park, Catawba Riverfront Park, Francis Beatty Park, Beech Springs Mtn Bike Park (near Concord), Anne Springs (just south in SC), and North Mecklenburg Park near Huntersville. Most are fun and fast and cater to all levels of mountain biker.
There are a number of parks in and around the city that are very family-friendly and safe. For water activities, i.e., boating, fishing, Lake Norman and/or Lake Wylie are not far away. There is also talk of putting a manmade whitewater park on the Catawba River, just a few miles down I-85.
Lake Norman
Lake Norman is a man-made lake to the north of Charlotte. It is surrounded by Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, Lincolnton, and Denver. Huntersville is great for shopping, and Mooresville is great for race fans. There are a lot of parks around the lake for boating or fishing.
- Water Sports
- Sailing and Boating
Pineville is on the southwest side of town along the South Carolina border. The easiest way to get there if you're not familiar with Charlotte, is to head south on South Blvd. until you reach Hwy. 51. Hang a right and you'll be driving through downtown Pineville. It's a quaint little strip of shops and is a nice diversion from the relative hustle and bustle of the city of Charlotte. Antiques are the most notable merchandise on sale and there are also a few good restaurants in the area including El Vallarta and The Cajun Queen, both of which I've listed in my restaurant tips.
Biltmore Estate, Asheville, NC
If you have an extra day, spend it at the Biltmore. It's a 2 hour drive from Charlotte and about $35 to get in, but worth every penney. This is the largest privately owned home in America. It's more like a castle, built in the French Chateau style and owned by the Vanderbilt family. The collection of furnishings and art-work alone is priceless and the grounds of the estate are gorgeous. The property is hundreds of acres of beautiful land, a winery, an equestrian center, rivers, lakes, a waterfall and 3 great restaurants. Well worth a trip.
The gardens
The gardens on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate are full of interesting things to see. It's a whole lot more than just the house itself. The gardens are especially great in the spring and summer and you'll also find an equestrian center, miles of pathways for horseback riding, creeks and lakes, and gorgeous open fields.
You want Barbeque? We've got BARBEQUE!
If you want to try the best barbeque this side of the Appalachian mountains, go to the "truck." Every Saturday, in Pineville (a suburb just south of Charlotte), a couple drives their truck up from South Carolina and parks in the parking lot of an Exxon station at the corner of Pineville-Matthews Road and I-485. They open the doors and sell world-class pulled pork barbeque to all comers. The best bet is the South Carolina-style mustard-based barbeque. Sounds questionable, but man, is it good!
Now I'm a bit of a connaisseur of the glorious hog, and I can tell you that while Tennessee barbecue pummels the living daylights out of Carolina pork (the secret is the hickory wood), the stuff of the truck might just be the world's best. Brilliant!

Lol @ jets having inferior talent. That's laughable.
"Fundamentals, technique, execution -- primary. Scheme -- secondary."
"We will incorporate an aggressive, up-tempo, attacking style in all three phases of the game."
"Our team will play with discipline, poise, and maximum effort."
"I want us to be the best tackling team in the NFL, the best team in pursuit, I want to take the ball away from other teams, I want to rattle the opposing quarterback every opportunity we get."
-- Joe Philbin 01/12
so bitter.
rex walked into a team that missed 2 straight postseasons and hadn't won a playoff game in 5 years and won 2 playoff games in his rookie year. Let me know when philbin has you in a playoff race.
Rex has done maybe his best job this year and last year, switch the coaches and Miami is a playoff lock this year while we have the 2-3 wins most predicted.
Rex did his best coaching with mangenious's players.
Now that most of them mare gone you see his product.
My Draft:
Round 1: DeVante Parker (WR):
Speed, size/height, and efficient WR.
Round 2: Denzel Perryman (I-LB):
Behind Suh, quality I-LB.
Round 4: Jalen Collins (CB)
Possible quality CB w/ work.
Round 5: Jamil Douglas (Guard/Center/Tackle)
Guard, can also play center and tackle.
Round 6: Malcolm Brown (RB)
Consistent short yardage powerback.

Recent Naples Area Reviews
Great location in Naples
So much fun! This delightful little place is great for two people. Doug and Judy the owners were fantastic. We loved visiting with them. It is in a quiet neighborhood, centrally located. There is a wonderful place to eat with home cooking you can walk to. Go early because it is very popular! Doug built this little place himself. The little kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Beach supplies plus passes. Judy replies immediately and is very helpful with reservations. The perfect location!!! JOYfully, John & Annetta
Wonderful condo with beautiful view!
When we left this wonderful apartment, we were all sad to leave, of course. Who wants to leave the beach? We truly loved the apartment, the location, the view and the attention to details was amazing! We have stayed at many different places along the west coast most of my life and we always have to bring a ton of things with us. This apartment truly had everything! We will definitely plan on a return visit and recommend to our friends.
Everything you could want or need!!
We have stayed with Mike & Diane twice. Our first stay was in Half Way to Heaven July 2014. Our second stay was in 7th Heaven Nov. 2014. We were so impressed with the cleanliness and how well appointed the units are. Beach chairs, umbrellas, large beach towels and coolers are all there for your enjoyment at the beach. Anything you could want for was provided. The king size bed is so comfortable. The views are fabulous. Loved having the internet available to us. It was also very nice to be able to do the laundry before going home. Mike is very accommodating and so easy to work with. I am sure that we will be back for another trip to Bonita Beach!!

Inactives: Packers thin in the secondary
By Rob Demovsky
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Without safety
Morgan Burnett
(hamstring) in last Sunday's opener at San Francisco, the
Green Bay Packers
' defense was vulnerable up the middle.
Colin Kaepernick
picked apart the Packers to the tune of 412 yards passing.
Burnett was ruled out again Sunday against the
Washington Redskins
despite practicing on a limited basis most of last week.
In addition, the Packers also will be without
Jarrett Bush
, their dime defensive back last week against the 49ers. Bush dropped out of practice on Thursday because of an ankle injury. That likely means rookie safety
Chris Banjo
or cornerback
Davon House
will play in the dime, if defensive coordinator Dom Capers uses that package. He may elect just to play base and nickel defense.
Here's the full list of the Packers' inactives:
CB Jarrett Bush (ankle)
Casey Hayward
S Morgan Burnett (hamstring)

Allowing the use of presentation has made the process of creating and sharing an easy one. Presentations have the capacity to allow the creative minds to come with so many ideas and share them with someone or a group at large in no time. The transfer of this presentation also is a great and suitable way that allows the users to create something which is of value to them and the receiver. Like Walt Disney's creation the Mickey Mouse, who would have thought that Disney world will become so popular that it will have its base in world's biggest cities. The best birthday gift the kids ask for is a trip to the Disney world. The day spent at these places is fresh in their memories for days and if you want to keep this fresh in the memories for years then you can use the Disney PowerPoint template
The best way to preserve any memory is to keep them safe and protected in a way that is less prone to wear and tear and for a pictorial memory the best ways to create a slideshow presentation of the same. What better way to do it than to create it with suitable background and themes. The Disney PowerPoint template is something that will provide a suitable platform to share all the memories from the day. The presentations are easy to be shared with friends and family by using the medium of internet. The Disney World PowerPoint Template is compact files that can be attached to a mail with ease and sent across within no time. If these are to be shared with large people then they should be sent across in exactly the same time as invested in sending them to one person.
Along with this creation of these presentations will prove to be highly beneficial. The kids who may be missing their trip to the wonderful land should be involved here. They will get a chance to relive the moments and also learn new and creative ways to keep the memories intact. The templates are designed in such a manner that the kids will not find it difficult to play with them. In fact the presentations are so simple and easy that the kids can prepare those themselves with little or no guidance from the elders.
The whole presentation may even find way in the next family gathering with members present there to enjoy the events with the rest of the family. The Disney World PowerPoint Template is editable which is the most appreciated and thought after feature. This allows the creator to use his imagination and mold the final product according to his liking. Here they do not have to compromise on a set layout that needs to be used as is. The text spaces, the title spaces, the media insertion everything can be edited. The templates are easy to save and they can even be created half way and then later the rest of the images or media be added to them leaving ample space and opportunity to create a fulfilling presentation.

As someone from Northern Ireland I am glad to see the history and achievements of the Titanic in such prominence this centenary year.
It is great to see another side to our country and people visiting to see another side of our history.

Talking about love in the Titanic. In my part, the real happiness love should be a good fit all the time, however,the love between rose and jack impresses me very much. I can not help saying highly praise obout the technology of America, although rose becomes fatter under 3D.
Aren't we overdoing it a bit? I can't open a paper or turn on my TV set without having the same story told. Two years later (if we are in the remembering period) hundreds of thousands young men were killed on the Somme just because some stupid generals were trying to show off there strategic skills to eachother. It somehow looks as if the British could never take the fact that the biggest ship in the world could sink. What happened to it's sister ship, the Olympic, did it sink as well?
This horrible tragedy is still compelling after all these years. What a fool Murdoch was for attempting to "port-around." Had he simply went hard-over port the tragedy would have likely been avoided. Leave it to the British to go by the book, rather than by the gut.
In T., where are you getting your information on Murdoch? A movie?
Go to Wikipedia and type "sinking of the RMS Titanic." He shouldn't have put the engines in reverse. All he needed to do was keep going full and turn to port. The position of the rudder made "port-arounding" difficult. It's explained under the sub-heading "Iceberg, right ahead!" The movie isn't that detail-oriented.
Wikipedia? Come, now.
Come now? If you read the endnote, the citation is from a book written by a history professor with a Ph.D. from Yale. Unless you have a subscription to JSTOR, there is nothing better than Wikipedia. You just need to verify the endnotes.
Wikipedia? Come on? I used to use Wikipedia to find my answers to my homework when I was 5.
Time, gentlemen, please! The value of Wikipedia and Titanic are surely different topics.
Yes but In Terrorem is getting emotional about Wikipedia. Why does he have to get so tearful and then start raging. Anger Management classes much?

One of my cousins is an All-American high school swimmer. She's a rising senior right now and she'd really like to make the Olympic Trials and such. I was talking to her a little about it and she mentioned she had never really done any "Strength and Conditioning" or worked with a coach with any kind of similar qualifications. Her best stroke is butterfly and most her races are 50-200m. She's pretty solid in freestyle/backstroke as well.
Anyway, I think this is a real issue and I'd like to help her out. I've got a few questions, though:
(1) Is it likely that strength/conditioning training would make a profound effect on her times?
(2) Ideally, how should she be training? (I was guessing essentially the same as a 400m sprinter after she established a base?)
(3) She's looking at colleges across the US. She was offered a full ride from (I believe) Ohio State, UC-Santa Barbara, USC, Tennessee, Florida State, Louisville, NC State, Hawaii and several others. I'm guessing she'd be in the running for a few more. Do you guys have any idea what schools have very well-recognized strength/conditioning coaches (don't limit to this list)? Are any schools on that list notoriously bad? How about swim coaches?
Any other advice?

One of the most-talked about works of fiction to emerge from China in recent years, this novel about an urban youth "displaced" to a small village in rural China during the Cultural Revolution is a fictionalized portrait of the author's own experience as a young man. Han Shaogong was one of millions of students relocated from cities and towns to live and work alongside peasant farmers in an effort to create a classless society. Translated into English for the first time, Han's novel is an exciting experiment in form--structured as a dictionary of the Maqiao dialect--through which he seeks to understand and translate the local life and customs of his strange new home.
Han encounters an upside-down world among the people of Maqiao: a con man dupes his neighbors into thinking that he has found the fountain of youth by convincing them that his father is in fact his son; to be scientific" is to be lazy; time and relationships are understood using the language of food and its preparation; and to die young is considered "sweet," while the aged reckon their lives to be "cheap."
As entries build one upon another, Han meditates on the ability of a waidi ren (outsider) to represent the ways of life of another community. In this light, the Communist effort to control the language and history of a people whose words and past are bound together in ineluctably local ways emerges as an often comical, sometimes tragic exercise in miscommunication.
The best novel of the year isn't that DeLillo-on-automatic-pilot thing that broke out, along with SARS, this spring; nor the smutty anti-Islamic screed by the super-annuated French juvenile delinquent; nor even Jane Smiley's excellent investigation of the unlikely souls of real estate agents. Rather, it is this 'dictionary' of the dialect of a fictitious village, Maqiao, lost in the squat hills of South China.
[A] subtle and smashingly effective critique of the futility of totalitarian efforts to suppress language and thought--and, more to the point, a stunningly imaginative and absorbing work of fiction.
[ A Dictionary of Maqiao] is a magnificent book, epic in its ambitions and sweep without any of the sentimental obfuscation on which that genre so often depends.
[B]oth fascinating and masterful... Han paints a detailed, intriguing and amusing picture of what happens when Marxism collides with entrenched village beliefs, and how traditional China coexists with modernity. The book is filled with peculiar, beguiling, tragic characters and scenery so real you can touch it... This is an intelligent, amusing, clever, fascinating and well-written view of a China most of us never see, or don't recognize when we do.
To enter [ A Dictionary of Maqiao]'s pages is to cross into a world of bandits and ghosts, where 'rude' means 'pretty,' and homosexuals are 'Red Flower Daddies' and people don't die, they 'scatter.'
Dictionary of Maqiao is a wonderful, many-layered novel written as a series of definitions which gains further depth from a good translation... Han Shaogong's novel [is] clever, sympathetic and amused... Julia Lovell's translation is an impressive achievement, a fine reflection of a complex book.
Han Shaogong's novel has won wide acclaim, and deservedly so; through his treatment of language, he not only vividly portrays village life in rural China, but also inspires readers to rethink what they are accustomed to taking for granted.
Sometimes humorous, but crude and grim at other times, the entries all intertwine to give readers a picture of life in this distant region.
The narrator's folkloric stereotypes the provincial simpletons and fools, the cuckolded husbands, the long-suffering wives resolve affectingly into distinct human beings. And the peasant vocabulary vulgar, quaint, superstitious which so perplexesthe earnest young outsider is also revealed to be cunningly subversive, an antidote to the totalitarian imposition of a "reality"irreconcilably at odds with the real thing.
Amanda Heller
This is a serious, ground-breaking and finally brilliant novel by one of China's leading authors... The translation is everywhere excellent--fluent, colloquial where appropriate, without being excessively so, learned in places, and without any hint anywhere of 'translationese'... surely destined for classic status.
Bradley Winterton
In its formal inventiveness, its nuanced depiction of Chinese peasant life, and its speculative explorations into the Chinese cultural psyche, this is one of the finest novels of the post-Mao era to so far make its way into English.
Jeffrey Twitchell-Waas
Worth reading...fascinating and surprisingly accessible.
Anton Graham
Han is a good storyteller, ingeniously leading the reader into the heart of his stories... A Dictionary of Maqiao is readable and enjoyable.

The big day for romance is coming up, which means itŌĆÖs time to figure out where you might spend the holiday. ┬ĀHere are ten locations from great movies that if you can afford to visit, and if they are real, they would be a perfect spot to spend ValentineŌĆÖs Day with your significant other.
10. Hawaii- Forgetting Sarah Marshall
In Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Jason SegelŌĆÖs character goes to Hawaii to get over his recently ended relationship. ┬ĀOn the trip he finds a new love in Mila Kunis. ┬ĀThey spend their time together going to bars, hanging out on the beach, and exploring the beautiful islands. ┬ĀHawaii proves to be a land of love in this great romantic comedy.
Related:┬ĀCelebrities Who Love to Vacation in Hawaii
┬Ā9. Forks, Washington- Twilight
The atmosphere may be gloomy, but love is in the air in this small northwestern town. ┬ĀWhether you are into vampires or werewolves, Forks has everything you would need for a perfect ValentineŌĆÖs Day. ┬ĀThe true challenge will be trying to find a date who wonŌĆÖt bite.
8. Aboard the Titanic- Titanic
Unfortunately, the Titanic is buried under water, but it was such a beautiful ship. ┬ĀAnd, while the plot may be mostly fictional, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio make their love so believable that you forget what has to happen in the end, making that iceberg all the more tragic. ┬ĀTitanic was a perfect place to meet someone and if it hadnŌĆÖt sunk, it would have made a great ValentineŌĆÖs Day vacation.
7. Hogwarts- Harry Potter
Like any other high school, Hogwarts is a place full of drama. ┬ĀWhether itŌĆÖs the return of the Dark Lord, or the heroŌĆÖs first kiss, Hogwarts never feels too far off from your ordinary Muggle high school. ┬ĀThe second half of the series saw Harry date his best friend's sister while Ron and Hermione finally get together. ┬ĀNo love potion required.
Related:┬ĀThe Most Romantic┬ĀDestinations┬Āin the United States
6. 1920s Paris- Midnight in Paris
Paris on its own is perhaps the most romantic city in the world, but as portrayed in Midnight in Paris, the 1920s was the time to be there for true romance. ┬ĀRunning into such legends as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Owen WilsonŌĆÖs character eventually falls for a beautiful French girl, played by Marion Cotillard. ┬ĀThis beautiful city becomes the stem from which their love blossoms.
5. The American South- The Notebook, Gone With the Wind, Forrest Gump
A lot of great love stories take place in the South. ┬ĀOne of the earliest and most famous is Gone With the Wind, which took place in Georgia. ┬ĀForrest Gump and Jenny both grew up in Alabama. ┬ĀThe Notebook┬Ātook place in South Carolina. ┬ĀClearly, the South is the place to be for love.
4. BeastŌĆÖs Castle- Beauty and the Beast
In this tale as old as time, Belle is taken to a beautiful castle full of lively characters and one beast. ┬ĀBut as the story goes, the beauty falls in love with the beast in this magical place. ┬ĀFurniture speaks when Belle and the beast choose not to.
3. Any 1980s High School- Sixteen Candles, Ferris BuellerŌĆÖs Day Off, The Breakfast Club
High school is a time where everyone at least partly grows into who they are meant to be. ┬ĀA lot of that has to do with relationships. ┬ĀIn the 1980s, director John Hughes made three movies that got high school perfectly, while having that ŌĆś80s stamp on them. ┬ĀSixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris BuellerŌĆÖs Day Off all showed high school romances at their best.
Related:┬ĀWeekend Date Idea in the Big Apple
2. New York- Manhattan, When Harry Met Sally, Spider-man, New YearŌĆÖs Eve
New York City is the setting for numerous love stories. ┬ĀWoody Allen saw the romance of the Big Apple in his film Manhattan. ┬ĀWhen Harry Met Sally shows Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan fall for each other in the populated borough. ┬ĀPlus, who can forget the upside down kiss Spiderman and Mary Jane shared? ┬ĀThe most recent romance in New York was New YearŌĆÖs Eve, a film showcasing a large number of romances. ┬ĀClearly Manhattan is the place to be for love, but one other movie location beats it outŌĆ"
┬Ā1. Casablanca- Casablanca
Arguably the best love story ever told aside from ShakespeareŌĆÖs Romeo and Juliet, Casablanca is a classic film that is all about its location. ┬ĀHumphrey Bogart stars as Rick Blaine, the owner of a nightclub in Casablanca. ┬ĀAn old flame comes back into his life, and they end up rekindling their love. ┬ĀIt is the ultimate love story, but since Casablanca is in Africa, you may just want to rent this one instead.
What other movie locations would you want to visit on Valentine's Day? Share your thoughts below.
