VANCOUVER -- On Saturday morning around 10 a.m., Vancouver resident and amateur photographer Anthony Ellis snapped a photo of the North Shore Mountain. It wasn't until he got home and viewed the digital photo on his computer that he saw the speck hovering over the mountain.
"I was quite surprised," said Ellis, who believes the object is a UFO.
Ellis says he didn't alter the photograph in any way, and the black speck does not appear on other photos taken the same day.
According to the 2012 annual Canadian UFO survey, 1981 Canadians reported sightings, a jump of nearly 100 per cent over previous years. Of those, only 7.5 per cent were evaluated as unexplained. Ontario residents log the most UFO sightings annually, with B.C. ranking second with 20 per cent of the sightings.
Reported UFO sightings generally peak in spring and summer months, with one possible explanation: it's silly season again.
In August 2010, reports broke about an unidentified flying object hovering over Cultus Lake in Chilliwack, B.C. CLICK HERE to view the article and HERE to view photos.

Some Bathroom Drawer Organization To The Rescue
Dude, meet our disaster drawer. I know you guys already got a preview of him yesterday, but you know how a horror movie has that dun-dun-duuuuun sound effect? This drawer needs one too. It's that bad. Like "what wild animal got in there and rooted around?" bad. So in the name of organization week (and general sanity) it was about time we got on it.
The issue is that we don't have a medicine cabinet, thanks to the window in front of the sink, as demonstrated by this pic from our House Tour page. The drawer in front of the sink is actually a false drawer, so we can't use that one for additional storage. Sure, we have the cabinet under the sink, but that's where we put bigger stuff like the hairdryer and our travel toiletry bag, so it's mainly all on this small skinny drawer to store every last little thing – like floss, toothpaste, contact stuff, medicine, deodorant, hair stuff, nail stuff, and all the other things that usually get shoved into a few drawers and maybe even a medicine cabinet or linen closet.
But I knew straightening up this drawer was possible. John and I are pretty minimalistic when it comes to stuff like this (for example, I have a small travel makeup bag with all of the makeup that I own in it – which is less than eight items – and I keep that in the car or my purse, so that doesn't need space in the drawer). We also don't wear perfume or cologne, so there's no need to store that or any bath salts or scrubs (we're shower people). In short: we don't have that much stuff when you consider that this is a pile of all the medicine, tooth stuff, nail stuff, hair stuff, and general hygiene stuff in our entire house except for one pot of diaper cream in Clara's room and a bottle of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner in the shower.
So we just had to figure out a way to wrangle it so it was functional (ie: so we could actually find what we were looking for). The first order of business was removing everything so we could see the bottom of the drawer again and take inventory of all the things we had. I went through everything and got rid of things like expired medication or empty bottles that somehow got shoved back into the mess.
Then I grabbed two divided boxes at TJ Maxx to the tune of $9. I think they're meant for office supplies or jewelry, but they were the right height for the sink drawer and I knew the key to adding some order would be to segment things off and create zones to keep things from slipping all over the place every time the drawer slid open. Here's what I came up with after I stuck those two containers in the drawer along with the wooden toothbrush/toothpaste box we had from a while back and filled them all up.
It was a tight fit, but everything that I took out (except for the expired medicine and empty containers) fit back in. And this time it makes sense! If you look closely, I tried to group things. For example, all my nail polish is together at the back right of the drawer, all of our razors are together at the front right of the drawer, all of our contacts are stored on the left side of the drawer, and all of our mouth related stuff is still in the toothpaste box (mouthwash, toothpaste, and toothbrushes and one pack of floss, while the extra floss is back near my nail polish). In the back left of the drawer is all of our medicine along with a box of my, uh, feminine products.
Some of those cubbies, like the three in the middle of this picture are just items that are grouped by owner. For example, the one on the left is my stuff (an extra concealer and mascara that came packaged as a set of two so I only put one in my travel makeup pouch, my hair-cutting scissors, a nail file, etc) while the middle cubby is where John's hair stuff and razor and contact case live. That cubby is sort of his morning routine (although he doesn't shave every morning – maybe just every three). The cubby to the right of that is also John's shaving stuff (shaving cream and aftershave) – so putting them next to each other and keeping my stuff out of his cubbies will hopefully make it easier to keep up with this system (he won't be messing with my areas and my stuff won't be in the way of his).
Medication safety update: All the medication is in childproof containers and those razor blades snap into a protective case that Clara couldn't unsnap on her own (at 23 months old, Clara can't open non-childproof bottles or even tupperware containers) and we keep the door to our bedroom closed so she is never in there unattended (since Burger's food is in that room and she likes to mess with it, haha). So there's a no-Clara-in-the-bedroom rule unless we're in there with her.
Here's the other side of the drawer again, just because I thought for a shot of random bathroom stuff, this was kinda pretty. Haha.
So yay! We finally got on that. I just hope it stays this way. It has lasted through one evening and one morning routine, so I have a fair amount of hope. I gave John a stern look and said "please respect the cubbies" and so far he has been awesome about it. But I'll have to take a random photo in six months to see how this whole shebang really fares. You know I'll keep it real and report back, whether it's still looking good or somehow has exploded into chaos again.
The sad thing about getting on this project is that in doing it I noticed another task that I need to add to the list: painting these cabinets and drawers- both inside and out. See that dinged up looking lip? Now that things are nice and organized inside of the drawer I notice it even more. Why is it that one upgrade often just shines a big ol' spotlight on other things that still need to be attended to? Oh well. Someday I'll get on that.
Just for fun, I snapped a picture of the cabinets under the sink. I told you we were minimalists about this sort of stuff. Just an old box from John's grandpa full of a few John things, our travel toiletry bag (the black thing in the middle) and a basket with a hairdryer, a brush, and a curling iron among some other random items in the back. But see those blue arrows? Those are other dings and smudges I noticed while cleaning up. Someday I'll conquer them. Although probably not anytime soon if I'm being honest. Haha.
Until then I'll just appreciate being able to check if we need more floss or razors at a glance while grabbing the deodorant without having to wrestle any other toiletries out of the way. It's the little things.
We'll be back tomorrow with a huge rundown of all the grooming & cleaning products that we use in an attempt to keep it simple (many of them multitask, so we don't have to store ten million different bottles under the sink). What have you guys been organizing lately? Have you found things like dividers or cubbies to be helpful in instances where you have only one shallow area that needs to store a bunch of different things? Who's tackling their bathroom stuff tonight? And is it weird that I brushed and flossed after this project? Staring at all that stuff somehow compelled me to end things like that – just to test out my storage system I guess. Haha.

Congrats on no longer having this as a disaster drawer! This reminds me that I need to do something about the cabinets under the bathroom sink but I'll get to that… eventually…
We call those spaces my 'Monica Closet'. It's from the Friends episode when Chandler discovers Monica's back hall closet which is a complete mess. The outer areas of our place are very neat and tidy, but there are Monica closets and drawers lurking throughout our home!
This might be a weird question, but how do you like toms deodorant? Andd toothpaste for that matter haha. I've been looking to switch beauty/grooming products to eco friendly brands but wasn't sure about the deodorant category…thanks!
Another option, make your own deodorant! I have used this recipe for about a year now and I love it! Plus, it is really inexpensive!!
Also, if you use virgin coconut oil, you don't even need the essential oil because you have the coconut smell instead! :)
Isn't it funny how happy an organized drawer or cabinet can make you? I take pictures of mine too, not even to post on my blog, just to look at and possibly one time make the background of my phone.
It's nice that John will actually listen to you about "respecting the cubbies." Once I cleaned out our kitchen junk drawer (take-out menus, batteries, etc.) and within two days all h*ll had broken loose. (There was a safety pin AND a dime in the battery spot.)
Ha! Love it. Everyone needs a junk drawer…or two. But now yours looks for pretty!
I Spy some Zoya Nailpolish ? :) I need big time organization under my bathroom sink cabinets and my my dressing table drawers. BIG TIME. I need those dividers.
I hope you "like" their FB page..cos they have amazing deals there a lot of time..I have gotten nail polishes for free..just pay shipping..they are an amazing company..sorry for hijacking your post :)
yay..for freebies..aww man..I am so vain!
Is it sad my first thought when I saw the first few photos was OHH I see Zoya nail polish! I wonder which colors… haha!
Dare I ask… why don't you guys just make the faux drawer in the vanity into a real drawer? It'd just require adding a few rails for the drawer to slide in and out and it'd mean you could have your deodorant near where you bathe and dress, instead of where you chop and dice.
I think this person was under the impression that this messy drawer was in the kitchen. That's what I thought you meant at first. I think just because you mentioned "sink drawer", for some reason our brains assumed kitchen.
Umm…Bethany, I think that drawer is still a part of the vanity…like in their bathroom. Chop and dice sounds like you think it's a kitchen drawer…am I wrong here? I think they just have one drawer in the vanity instead of two..right?
Ha! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this drawer was in the kitchen. I didn't catch on until you mentioned needing to paint the drawers.
I'm thinking you could add a plastic drawer unit (or DIY your own) under the left side of the cabinet. Something like this one would triple your storage there. http://images.discountofficeitems.com/orig/ac5/db0/5f54ffd18e683f44bff08d8507f7fed171.jpg
I'm impressed with your minimalism. I need to tackle our storage areas, but its just so easy to keep the drawers closed (especially when they're so messy you can't open them).
Is that a wine corkscrew next to the saline up front?? nice.
Spin Pins!
Spiral bobby pin? I don't know if they have a technical term, but I have 4 in my hair right now and my bun hasn't moved all day!
it's a spin pin (for hair).
Respect the cubbies. Ha.
We have one drawer in our bar that seems to be the black hole. It's not even full, but whenever one of us can't find something, the first question is always "did you check the right hand drawer?"
It's like Mary Poppin's bag.
That looks way better! Although, I have to mention that the medicine in a low drawer concerns me.
Our toiletries are corralled in the medicine cabinet and 4 metal boxes under the sink (2 for me, 2 for my boyfriend). I'm going to do an overhaul soon, but I just started the Oil Cleansing Method and I want to see if it works before getting rid of all my various face washes!
Wonderful! I've been interested in doing oil cleansing, but am a bit scared.
I have similar organizers for my jewelry box but those work great for shallow drawers! I am feeling motivated to tackle the dreaded kitchen "junk drawer" now…lol
$herdog, I'm a makeup minimalist, too, and I LOVE the Organic Wear line. I wrote about the mascara today, actually:
We totally need to go through our bathroom drawers, though. It's a hot mess.
Plastic silverware dividers work great in most bathroom drawers as well. That's what I have in all of mine!
So glad you're doing a follow-up product post tomorrow. I was going to ask for one!
This drawer reminds me of that issue of Martha's magazine where she showed the insides of all of her drawers and they were all cubbied off. Very nice!
I was looking at all that space on the countertop you've got and thought hey, they're going to add some of those sweet decorative boxes that Sherry likes so well to corral some of that stuff. And then you didn't. Surprise! It thought, there's no way all that stuff is going to fit back in that drawer. But you did it.
At any rate, I thought I'd throw out that decorative box on the counter idea in case you found some more things you needed to keep in there. All you nail stuff in a box, for example?
Happy organizing!
Hahah! Now I feel better! At least we're not the only ones! Well maybe we are….guess we better 'Get on that already!'
You won't believe how much this reorg will change your life for the better! I did our bathroom drawers last fall and they are still surprisingly organized…and we are not tidy people.
One thing that surprised me about your reorg (and pardon the assvice) is that you keep medications in a low drawer without a drawer lock. I realize Clara is probably not doing much unsupervised exploring at this point but it might be worth thinking ahead a little bit and moving those things to an inaccessible or cabinet-locked place. I was so surprised the day that my three year old brought me the bottle of ibuprofen, having climbed on the bathroom counter to get it out of a high cabinet. She got the lid off too, even though it was supposedly childproof! I almost had a heart attack.
Oh gosh. This is making me feel really guilty about our bathroom storage. It's a serious disaster area. I'm going to need to get on that project as well… you're inspiring me! (well, after making me feel guilty…)
This sounds super weird, but when my mom came into town I really needed to organize my bathroom. I cut the bottoms off of random cardboard boxes (like from Diet Coke packs and other various food/bathroom packaging) and turned them into a similar organization system! Not quite as pretty, but just as functional. Since I live in a small apartment and like holiday decorating a little too much, I also use seasonal bowls to hold other items in my cabinets – for example, a Halloween bowl is currently where I keep my hair ties/bobby pins/other hair junk. Gotta stay organized somehow :)
Such a good idea! You could even wrap the cardboard in some pretty paper to make it more presentable. I'm totally trying this.
I literally laughed out loud at "please respect the cubbies". My husband is so fantastic at putting things away, but not so fantastic at putting things away in the same place every time. We were just laughing about it last night. Luckily he usually remembers where he puts stuff. Needless to say we have about 17 junk drawers.
I'm am LOVING this week's o-r-g theme. It's fitting right in with my 2nd trimester nesting. Thank you!
I just posted a photo of my messy nursery http://instagr.am/p/KF8Vo_G-QT/. It looks like your drawer. I hope to get it all ready before the baby arrives. The organization tips here are helping…
I have a big organizer from an office supply store in my bathroom drawer. I like it because it's wire, which means I can throw my wet toothbrush in there and not worry about it running the felt on the dividers like what you got. Plus, sometimes the hubs will stick toothpaste or contact solution or something in there that get all over the place, and I can just take it out and rinse it under warm water. I tried the same technique with hubs drawer, but unfortunately he does not understand the concept of putting things back where they came from :)

A significant portion of many scientists' time is spent securing and maintaining NIH funding. The smaller the lab, the longer it takes to generate enough preliminary data to write a grant and most first-submissions score too low and need to be revised - this process can take months and even years as newly appointed faculty scramble to get funded.
Lastly, and this is the reason I left academics for the private sector, I saw a brilliant Assistant Professor fail for 6 years to get funded despite an impressive publication record. My mentor brought him into our lab to give him one more chance to get funded and so I had the opportunity to do some of the molecular work for his newest grant. He is a brilliant scientist and the thought of him losing tenure just terrifies me.RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We are having a destination beach wedding, that will be both intimate and relaxed. We wanted a card that represented our style more than the location, but we chose the blue and gold design to also play on the beach theme. We purchased the Save the Date, Invitation, RSVP, and Thank you cards in this style all at once. It was all very easy to do online and was returned to us quickly for review prior to print. We love them all, but there is a difference between the gold color - what I would call a true yellow gold color - on the Thank You card and the "gold" - what I would call more of a sand color on all the other cards. This is fine for our wedding in that it lends itself to a beach theme, and I doubt anyone will be holding all of the cards up to each other to match color (other than me). If your looking for the color to match across the board, this may not be for you. Overall we couldn't be happier with the total product and experience"
"This is a great print and the dark colors I chose (majestic + rich red) came out beautifully together. The text is clean and clear, the textured paper gives it a nice feel, and the size is perfect. It was easy to customize and came quickly."
"We love these save the dates, they are such good quality. We chose the purple colour and paid the extra for rounded edges and the pearl white shimmer which I think was worth it. We didn't pay for extra thick cardboard but I don't think you need it. They are printed on nice cardboard as it is. We have had so many compliments about our save the dates, definitely getting the matching invitations! And these are SO much cheaper then anywhere else you look. Thank you so much WPD"
"The foil on this card was very gold and shiny. Cards were slightly smaller than I expected but really that was my ignorance. I changed the fonts to better fit the modern style of the card. Overall a great card for a modern bride."
"We love our save the dates and plan to use this design for all our invitations, etc. Being an older couple (late 40's) planning a second wedding, we've been trying to find a look that was elegant but not too formal and weren't interested in using photos. These are perfect! The design is so lovely and has the look of a painted canvas, and the quality of the paper was top notch and reasonably priced. An excellent product!"

Wes Welker has always been a bit of prankster, even if that side of him was suffocated a bit during his tenure in New England. That side of him may have peaked in high school, though. Welker, who impressed with nine catches and two touchdowns in his debut with the Denver Broncos, joined the NFL Network's NFL Total Access on Tuesday night to talk about the Broncos eye-opening Week 1 win. During the interview, Welker was also asked some more lighthearted questions intended to get the often stone-faced receiver to crack a smile. So, host Dan Hellie asked Welker about dressing up as pop star Britney Spears during a pep rally at Heritage Hall High School in Oklahoma City, Okla. Welker, who was a football star at the school from 1996-2000, couldn't help but smile at the question, even admitting to prank — albeit reluctantly. "Gosh, I'd love to say false there, but I did," Welker said with a half-smile. "I'd love to say false, but they have me on video. I've already bought them off, so you won't be seeing that anytime soon." You might not see that video, but if you can watch Welker's entire NFL Network interview, click here.

Love This Skirt It fits perfectly and dresses up my leggings perfectly! March 4, 2013
Colors different than in the picture I just got this skirt, and while the fit and style is fine, I'm disappointed with the color. It looks blue and grey in the picture, but when arrived, it had salmon color sequins all over it, which is not as expected. I will likely send back as that's not the look I was going for. February 15, 2013
Fabic not what expected The idea behind this skirt is great. The picture looks amazing but in person the fabric is more of a print than a dye. I was expecting the color to be dyed. The fabric is also not the same as the other aztec skirts. I would recommend seeing in person before purchasing. February 11, 2013

24,000 Postcards for Marriage Equality in WA!
February 1, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Adrian Matanza, Former HRC Regional Field Director
Ahead of a historic vote on marriage equality in Washington State, we're delivering over 24,000 postcards from Washingtonians in every legislative district in the state to their state senators letting them know that their constituents support marriage equality for ALL Washingtonians.
After our launch of the campaign back in November, it's great to see our hard work in action changing the hearts and minds of legislators and bringing marriage equality to the Evergreen State. We are hearing every day from supporters who have contacted their legislators on behalf of Washington United for Marriage. Many of these people have said they've never contacted their elected official before, but this issue is so important to so many in Washington that they want their voices heard. And it's working! The capitol campus is buzzing about marriage equality, especially today.
The State Senate is scheduled to vote on SB 6239, the marriage equality bill, later this evening and we are confident we have the votes for passage. Stay tuned for the latest information on marriage equality in Washington State. If you'd like to watch the debate and final vote live, you can find it online at http://www.tvw.org/. This will be a momentous day for Washington State and this evening we expect to see a packed capitol building with excited, loving supporters as together we watch history unfold.
If you're a Washingtonian, make sure you email your state legislators to make the case for marriage equality. Click here to send your message.

The Unesco has proclaimed an "international jazz day". Join in with numerous jazz institutions to celebrate this day, in Brussels 30/04/15!
With more than 100 concerts per week and high-level musicians, Belgium is a talent promoter!
But why have an international day for jazz?
Because jazz is based on ideals of cultural and musical mixture, evolution, protest and freedom of expression. Based on improvisation and interpretation, every musician can develop a personal and unique style, having to renovate continually, which is what incessantly attracts new generations.

As we were leaving a friend's house the other night, JQ walked up to me and handled me a long metal pin. "Oh man!" He said and walked away.
It was the pin for the door hinge.
JQ is only 19 months old.
Send help. Send the National Guard. Dear Lord, save me. I am going to die.
This is of course in conjunction with all his other activities, like two months ago when he ripped a door off the cabinet. Or just a week ago, when he scooted a chair over to the counter, climbed on it, climbed onto the counter, grabbed a knife from the magnet strip, and started stabbing his snack cup yelling, "CUT! CUT! CUT!"
But on the bright side, he's turning into a great talker. He knows how to say all the important words like, "Sweet roll," "candy" and "time out." He's also recently started trying to potty train himself.
After potty training E, I decided I would never potty train another child again. They could wear diapers until someone made them ashamed in first grade, I don't care. But E told her brother that if he peed on the potty he could get candy. So, he started running around yelling, "Poddy! Candy!" I completely ignored him for the first week.
Then, like a chump, I said, "Fine, you want candy, sit on the potty and pee." Then, I put him down on the Elmo potty seat. He stared at me with a look that was more of a glare. It's this look he get's when he's about to run away or stab a snack cup with a knife. A look that says, "Listen up, you are going to freak the hell out in about two seconds, so gird your loins!"
He looked at me and peed. Then, held out his hands and said, "CANDY!"
Ever since then, he will come up to me and say, "Poddy! Candy!" I put him on the potty and he pees. He did this 5x in one day once. More often it's just once a day in the morning while we are trying to get out the door. I don't think this is potty training. I think this is using urine as an act of aggression.
The other night, Dave and I lay in bed and he said, "That baby is going to be a handful. He's too smart."
I snorted. "Going to be?" Then, I laughed so hard I started to cry.
It has been quite on this blog because I have been working a lot on some different writing projects, which I hope will go live soon. I know I don't always do the best job of keeping people informed of where I've been writing, so I made a page here to keep better track of my clips and also, I do my best to spam the hell out of people who are my Facebook fans. Sometimes I regret having that page, but one of those marketing people who follow me on twitter told me, IT'S ALL ABOUT BRAND! Right before I blocked them.

I also wrote about evil mothers for Jezebel.

4 positive home pregnancy tests but the doctor says my urine test was negative?
Hi all! My last known period was July 28th & today is August 1st, I took my first home pregnancy test on Friday August 27th & it came back positive, took another on Saturday & it came back positive also. Both of those were Clear Blue digital tests. So I made a doctor appt for today & the doctor's nurse told me my urine test was negative! So as soon as my husband & I left we went & bought another pack of test, this time First Response brand & I took both of them when I got home, one digital, one with the 2 lines & BOTH of those came out positive immediately! What do you guys think? Has anyone else experienced anything like this ever? They took blood & will call me with the results in the AM, I'm sure I'm pregnant but why did their test come back negative, shouldn't the doctors test be more sensitive or more high tech than the home pregnancy tests?

I experienced the same thing. I asked my doctor how I could get 5 positives and she could get a negative. She explained that the HPT can detect much earlier then the urine test that they use.posted 10/09/2010 by CupcakeQueen512
I have read that the doctor's urine test is actually less sensitive than the HPT's you take so you are actually more likely to get a positive at home earlier than you could at a doctor's office.posted 09/03/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

I couldn't help myself...
I keep checking the dill plants and finally saw a BST cat today. However, once I did a thorough check, I found 8, including my first egg.
I brought in 5 cats because I don't know how much dill they will eat and I will be wasting some changing it daily. Can you find all five?
I think it must be the 2nd instar, because I would image the 1st instar would be much smaller.
I am a little apprehensive, but we all have to start somewhere.
OMGosh bev, I am so excited for you,wow, 5,that is so good.
Do you have an empty vitamin bottle,with lid?I poke a hole in the lid,fill the bottle with water,replace lid,place your dill in the hole, and stand up straight in the container you have them in, it will keep your dill fresh, longer, they really like it fresh,and will eat a lot.any way, my Monarch cats did,and they poop, big,and alot, I saved the droppings, and added to to my flower bed,ha ha
Please post pictures as you go along,just last year, you were hoping,now look at you,:0) Good job.
Congrats! It really is a good idea to get the dill into some water and upright, the cats don't like being in their frass (poop). Also be aware that when they get to the stage where they are ready to pupate, they will purge their gut: this slimy green stuff comes out and it looks gross. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with your cats, they must do this before they pupate. I thought there was something really wrong with my cats when they did this!
That is what is so wonderful about the people on this forum. Advice and knowledge, very helpful when you have a question or need an id on a cat or bf.
Enjoy your new obsession!
Just to give you an update. The egg hatched and I couldn't believe how small it was.
A day or two later I went outside to pick a bunch of dill. I washed it under running water, slapped it against the side of the sink and then scrunched it all with paper towels to dry it off. I figured I better still inspect it for spiders and found another 2nd (?) instar so I put him in with the original one. They must be more hardy then they look.
Here are the 5 amigos getting bigger every day.
The medicine bottle works great for the greens and I am also using a small vase for the little guys. There are three more 4 or 5th instar outside, but I hesitated to put them in with the others and I only have one laundry basket at this time. I'll be prepared with more containers next year.
Congrats Bev on your new acquisitions. I too started with BSTs and quite by accident too.
I keep my cats indoors until about the 3rd or 4th instar but then they go outside. Not wanting the mess in my house, my dh and I came up with a plan to have them outside but safe from predators. We made what I call a "cat house" out of 2x2 and window screening. It looks like an aquarium but instead of glass, we put window screening to allow for ventilation. It sits right in the garden and the window screening on the front is velcroed on for easy access to change and add fresh plants. I've attached a pic for your reference. If raising bfs is going to be a yearly thing, it's quite handy. I've had mine for 4 years now and I just replace the window screening as needed.
Have fun raising these guys. Only took 1 year of raising and I was hooked.
Wow, Bev congrats on all your BSTs!
Garnet, what an interesting setup. How do you attach the screening to the frame? I would worry that some predator could get in there somehow, but I suppose the predators of large cats would be larger themselves.
I am jealous, I've seen BST females come through the gardens, but haven't found any eggs in several weeks. And I've got so many host plants - Dill, regular and Bronze fennel, Rue, Parsley, and Zizia. Oh well. :(
Bev, it is open to the ground, this way all the frass can be worked into the soil. I just change the plants as needed. When I was raising BSTs I would put long twigs from trees in the ground around the food so the cats had somewhere to pupate. Now that I raise Monarchs, I bury large yogurt containers in the ground, fill with water, cut slits in the lids and insert Milkweed as needed. Just this year I started some milkweed seedlings just to the right of the cage so that when I go away for a week or more and I can't change the milkweed regularly, all I have to do is lift the cage onto the patch of Milkweed. I expect to have this fully functioning by next year.
Terrene, on every side except the front of the cage the screening is stapled on, just fold over a seam and staple - similar to sewing a hem. An office stapler won't cut it for this job, you need one those you can get at Home Depot. On the front, I use velcro on the frame and on the screening, this way I can lift the flap for easy access. If I were to do it again, I would double up the window screening. I used a single layer the first time and by the second year there were holes so I added a second layer and it's been great since. I would also make it taller and add a cross piece in the top section just to give the Monarchs solid locations to pupate. There have been a couple times where I have found spiders in there and have lost a couple of small cats because of that but since then I haven't lost any due to predators. Bear in mind, it is in a raised bed (raised by about 18" to 24" off the ground) and up against my house so it is in a protected spot in my garden and I only put cats in there that are 3rd instar or more.
Even though my growing season is short, I try to make it as easy and convenient as possible. I am a working mother of three so time for this is a luxury. Still, I can't imagine a summer without raising some kind of butterfly.
Here's a pic of the cage with the Monarch "growing op". As you can see, the cage is not buried as much as it should be and the screening is still only single layer, but all in all though, this system works great for me. As I said before, if anyone, newbie or not, is planning on raising bfs long-term, this cage is very handy, adaptable and easy and cheap to make.
Sorry this is so long-winded.
Garnet, I love the setup. Maybe DH can help me build something like this over the winter. I'm so impressed with all your cats.
When I brought the first 5th instar cat into the house that I found wondering in the garden, he attached himself to a stick in just a few hours and had his chrysalis within 7 hours. Yesterday 3 of the cats in the laundry basket settled down on the sides and are now hanging, but they still haven't formed their chrysalis. Does the time it takes vary? Now the other two are running around the basket. Of course the first one attached himself to the zipper and I hadn't made the elastic cover yet, so now I will have to cut the cover off to get the bowls with leftover food and frass out. I'll make the cover tonight and get that done.
While picking dill for the two 2nd instars, I picked a sprig and low and behold, another egg. Actually while walking in from work, I saw a BST omviposting (? couldn't find the exact word) for the first time. Maybe I've seen it before, but didn't know what it was doing. I don't know if the egg I found was a fresh one it had just laid or an older one. But the time I ran for the camera, I couldn't remember where it had laid it.
The 5th instar I brought in the other day is ready too to make a chrysalis. (I really need to get the proper terms down on a note card so I can use them.)
So that makes 6 cats ready to make a chrysalis.
2 2n instar
1 egg
Yeah! While I was sitting her a monarch flew by my window. I have not seen any in weeks. I keep checking the milkweed, but nothing.
Tina, that pic was taken two years ago. At the moment I have 8 cats and 4 chrysalids in the cage outside but I have 52 1st or 2nd instar indoors, plus about 20 eggs. Once they get big enough, they will all go outdoors. Once they pupate and their "shell" has hardened enough to handle, I carefully remove them and bring them indoors. Then I string them up! I like to have them indoors for the final stage because they are safer inside. Below is a pic to give you an idea what I mean by "stringing them up". I have a video too of one of my chrysalids emerging. I'll post that too if you're interested.
Bev, sounds to me like you're hooked - lol! As time goes on and you do it more and more, you will find easier and more efficient ways of raising them. As for the time it takes for them to pupate, having only raised BSTs for two years, I'm no expert but I can tell you based on the Monarchs, they do it when they are good and ready. They all go through the same process but some take their sweet time. Perhaps someone with more experience with BSTs could chime in on this one. Really sounds like you're enjoying it.
Oh my gosh! That is just amazing Garnet! lol I've never seen such a thing! :) The one chrysalis that accidentally got sent in a bunch of plants to me was the very first I have ever seen in my whole life. I would absolutely Love to see the monarch eclose. I missed the one I had eclose. :/ I was so bummed about that too. LoL
I am reading this thread which was sent to me by Bev, after I spotted two cats. in my parsley and did not recognize them. I have grown a butterfly garden for a few years, seen several monarch cats., one chrysallis (which was gone the day after I saw it), and although I have grown parsley for over 15 years I have never seen a BST cat., in fact the only time I saw a BST was several years ago in a lilac bush. Sadly, only one of my cats. remains. It is growing well and this morning I spotted it munching away. The parsley plants seem no worse for the moment, they seem to prefer the curly over the Italian. Still wondering if I want to grow them. Lots of interesting informtion here. I just wanted to know what the result would be. I also wonder what the major predators are. I will look it up. Thanks for all the info.
Hi northerner,
although BST's will eat parsley, I don't think it's the preferred egg laying plant. This was also my first year of BSTs and all eggs/cats were found on the fennel. I also have rue, but it has taken some time to establish itself. we'll see what happens next year!
I gave the BST cats a choice between parsely and bronze fennel. All but one preferred the fennel.
Makes me glad I have fennel seeds, lots of them. Also some dill. Still have to get the rue seeds. Does it have to be any specific type of fennel, dill or rue? I've got curly parsley too but haven't seen anything near that yet.
So much work to do when the veggie garden is harvested...so little time to do it in. LoL
The video is not on YouTube, it's in my photobucket. I think it wasn't working because the album was private. I'll make it public and try again.
Kathy, I use a hot glue gun. I put the hot glue on the cord, let it cool for a few seconds, then attach the Monarch. I've only done this with Monarchs as they have that little black end that looks like a bee's stinger, so the hot glue never touches the chrysalis. As I've said, it takes patience and a steady hand so make sure you have somewhere for your arms to rest on when you do it. Good luck.

- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1⁄2 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
- Mix together the sugar, milk, butter and cocoa.
- Heat over medium until the mixture comes to a full boil.
- Remove from heat, add peanut butter, vanilla and oatmeal, stir well.
- Drop by spoonfulls onto waxed paper.

This is a great "go to" recipe for a quick snack loved by all. I did add a handful of roasted peanuts for a little extra crunch. I would recommend getting all ingredients together before beginning. Measure all the ingredients to be cooked together, then the oats, peanut butter, and vanilla ready to pour in when the other ingredients have come to a full boil. I used a small ice cream dipper to dip out on parchment paper for easy cleanup. I would agree to NOT double the recipe because they would begin to "setup" before you could get them spooned out.
These cookies set up and are ready to eat right away!

- Velcro adjustable webbing straps
- Anatomic footbed with Shocpad heel cushioning
- Rubber sole
The Hurricane XLT from Teva is perhaps the ultimate in sports-based sandalry. It's got a tough strap to keep it in place and a substantial (and particularly comfortable) sole for when you're scrambling about on rocks and things like that.
And if you were wondering, these ones here are a collaboration between Teva and Japanese purveyors of fine hippy hiking gear, Oshman's.

On emerging from the Cabildo we were able to sit by the park and relax a bit, enjoying some excellent jazz played by street musicians outside of the park. Then we headed to Bourbon Street to ease our thirst with a couple of "Hurricanes" at Pat O'Brian's and eat some crawfish etouffee. We ended the day by strolling along the river, and then driving back across the lake.

By: Grant Bosiacki
Heading right up to today's trade deadline, Minnesota Twins catcher Kurt Suzuki's name kept appearing in numerous trade rumors. Instead of trading him away, the team decided to extend his contract for at least two more seasons.
The Twins officially announced the terms of the deal as two years $12 million with a third year vesting option, depending on his amount of plate appearances. The Twins didn't announce the plate appearances number.
Last December the Twins signed Suzuki to a one year contract for $2.75 million and he re-paid the favor by making it to the All-Star Game for the first time in his career. Suzuki, 30 years old, is batting .304 with 41 RBIs on the season.

Stipa tenacissima L., a perennial tussock grass widely found in semi-arid environments of the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa, is subjected to multiple stresses during the extreme summer conditions of south-east Spain. We characterised the photoprotective mechanisms of S. tenacissima during the transition from spring to summer and autumn. S. tenacissima experienced a marked water deficit (Ψ{ pd} < -8.4 MPa) and the complete suppression of CO2 assimilation in August, associated with a 72% reduction of maximal photochemical efficiency of PSII (F{ v}/F{ m}). These reduced F { v}/F{ m} values were related to the pre-dawn maintenance of high levels of epoxidized forms of xanthophyll-cycle pigments (DPS{ pd}, ca. 42% higher than spring values), and with a 60% reduction in the concentration of total chlorophyll (Chl a+b). These changes were associated with a low capacity of dissipation of the excitation energy non-radiatively (measured as NPQ). Leaves showed a complete recovery of F { v}/F{ m} and xanthophyll and chlorophyll concentrations after the autumn rainfall, which reached levels similar to that of spring. This poikilohydric-type response of S. tenacissima to stress allows for a greater tolerance of water shortage, high temperature and high light intensity, which are typical in these semi-arid environments and accounts for its distinctive opportunistic growth.
