Clemson horticulture student awarded Bartlett Tree Foundation scholarship
CLEMSON - Clemson University horticulture major Erik Bruhjell recently was named a 2013 Bartlett Tree Foundation scholar for his sustained academic excellence in the study of arboriculture. Bruhjell, a senior from Anderson, received one of 23 scholarships from the Foundation.
"I am excited to receive a Bartlett Tree Foundation scholarship on behalf of Clemson University," said Bruhjell. "Not only will the scholarship help me purchase much needed materials, but it is an honor to receive recognition from one of the leading scientific tree care organizations in the world."
In addition to his studies, Bruhjell helps care for the Sustainable Landscape Demonstration Garden located on McGinty Mall. He works part-time for Treesouth, a family-owned tree service in Seneca, and will begin employment with Natural Directions LLC in Summerville after graduation in May. Bruhjell is also in his fourth year as an equipment manager for the Clemson Tigers football team.
"Erik's hard work and discipline in the study of arboriculture make him an ideal recipient of a scholarship from the Bartlett Tree Foundation," said Robert Polomski, Extension horticulturist and certified arborist in Clemson's School of Agricultural, Forest and Environmental Sciences. "We are thrilled to be working with an organization that is so dedicated to the future of the arboricultural and horticultural industries."
The Bartlett Tree Foundation, a private foundation funded by tree and shrub care-provider Bartlett Tree Experts, awards scholarships each year in support of students pursuing arboricultural courses of study. Scholarship winners are chosen based on their academic excellence, character and dedication in the pursuit of degrees in arboriculture, forestry, urban forestry, horticulture, plant pathology, botany or closely related disciplines.
"I can't think of a better way to support the arboricultural industry than to assist students like Erik in realizing their goal of earning their degree in a field that will lead to future careers as caretakers of our nation's plants and forests," said Robert Bartlett Jr., chairman of Bartlett Tree Experts and a Bartlett Tree Foundation Board member.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Community
PCOS is a hormonal imbalance involving irregular periods, infertility, and ... more
See All
My Communities

My Email Digests
We have had all sorts of testing. I have been deemed normal besides having polycystic ovaries, but apparently I do not have PCOS. My labs came back normal besides a slighty over normal testosteron level and I have had normal periods my entire life. I also ovulate normally according to my progesteron test. My husband was perfect! So we are unexplained...which is SO irritating!
We are considering trying Follistism with a trigger shot and natural intercourse. A friend of mine did this and had success with it after 3 cycles and is now pregnant with twins.
I think the IVF may have been too invasive on my body and stressed it out too much. Im hoping this new method will be less stressfull on my body and mind and we will be able to relax a bit more.
Anyone had any expierence with this?View Thread
Name is Samantha and I live in KS with my husband who is a soldier on Bomb Squad in the Army. Hey, somebodys gotta marry into it right!? LOL.
Anyways, we have been TTC for a year and a half now with no luck. We have done Ovulation kits, sperm friendly lubricants, etc. Nothing...We started looking into infertility a couple months ago and found a Dr. in Kansas City who did alot of testing on both of us to discover if their was indeed an issue. Sperm analysis came back GREAT! Dr. said my husband has "super sperm..." LOL. Only thing they found with me is during my intravaginal ultrasound, they discovered I have Polycystic Ovaires, but my Dr. said he can not determine if I indeed have the "syndrome" aspect. He says some women often will have Polycystic Ovaries but not the actual syndrome. Labs all come back normal despite a slight increase in my testosterone levels, which were BARELY above normal. My periods are regular every month and I ovulate regularly, according to my progesterone tests and numerous spikes in ovulation tests. So there seemed to be no reason to why we should be having difficulties.
My husband has a bad back which makes our "timing" difficult for the past year or so, so this may be the culprite in our situation unfortunately.
To make an already LONG story short...we have decided to start IVF treatment. I have been on BC pills for 3 weeks now and am just about ready to go off of them. I go for my blood level testing this week to determine if I am ready to start my self injection shots! IVF Orientation was OVERWHELMING to say the least! I cried after I left the office because I was just like "How am I going to do all of this..!?!" Im scared of Overhyperstimulation, im scared of the shots, im scared of the procedures!
I need some helpful support from anyone going through IVF or getting raedy to! Any support/expierience you can provide will be SO helpful!
Thanks so much ladies!!

The Acting General Counsel of the NLRB has issued today an "updated" report on social media cases. As we have reported frequently here, the NLRB has taken action against employers who clamp down on employee use of social media that may implicate the National Labor Relations Act. At times, the NLRB has struggled with this issue, and when employee discipline is involved each case is evaluated on its facts.
The Acting General Counsel's OM 12_59 Report of the Acting General Counsel Concerning Social Media Cases.pdf does not concern discipline of an employee for using social media in a certain manner. Rather, the updated report evaluates policies implemented by employers to govern social media usage. The Memorandum details seven policies evaluated for lawfulness by the Acting General Counsel since January 2012. The Acting GC finds violations of the Act in six of the seven policies, a whopping 85.7% violation rate, suggesting that the vast majority of employers in the United States maintain policies that would currently be considered unlawful. It is not terribly surprising given the analysis applied.
What is surprising, and surprisingly useful, however, is that in the seventh case the Acting General Counsel found the entire policy to be lawful, and reprinted the whole policy. So, we finally have some definitive guidance on what is lawful in this area.
The Violations- Not Terribly Surprising
The Memorandum first deals with aspects of the first six policies the Acting GC considers to be unlawful. The Board, of course, has summarily concluded that employees would interpret certain policies to inhibit their rights and so none of the examples give us much in the way of guidance. Leaving aside for a moment that there is no proof any employee has ever so interpreted (let alone even actually read) such a policy, employers should be mindful of the phrases commonly found in handbook policies that the Board will target as unlawful. Here are a few of the examples set forth in the Memorandum:
Savings Clause Does Not Remedy Policy - Something Puzzling
The Acting GC's Memorandum specifically addresses an employer's attempt to separate its written policies from the Act. According to the Acting GC, such a statement is not sufficient to cure deficiencies in the language of the policies. Thus, the employer inserted into its policy a "savings clause: "[This] Social Media Policy will be administered in compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act)." The Acting GC, however, had a different view: This "does not cure the ambiguities in the policy's overbroad rules." This is, of course, quite puzzling. In page after page detailing violations of policies, the Acting GC reads into the minds of employees explicit connection between a written policy and Section 7 activity. So why isn't an employer's express statement that the Act is not implicated sufficient? Is the NLRB concluding the employees would only read the alleged offensive language and not the savings clause? If employees can reasonably be expected to have read the entire policy, then why doesn't an explicit reference to the NLRA give enough information for further investigation? These questions are a few of the mysteries spawned by the agency.
A Lawful Policy - Somewhat Useful
Finally, towards the end of the 24 page Memorandum, the GC deals with the seventh policy which he found to be entirely lawful. The Memorandum helpfully sets forth the whole policy. In his conclusion that the policy is lawful, the Acting GC set forth the principles he relied upon:
As explained above, rules that are ambiguous as to their application to Section 7 activity [excluding savings clauses, of course] and that contain no limiting language or context to clarify that the rules do not restrict Section 7 rights are unlawful. In contrast, rules that clarify and restrict their scope by including examples of clearly illegal or unprotected conduct, such that they could not be reasonably construed to cover protected activity, are not unlawful.
As explained above, rules that are ambiguous as to their application to Section 7 activity [excluding savings clauses, of course] and that contain no limiting language or context to clarify that the rules do not restrict Section 7 rights are unlawful. In contrast, rules that clarify and restrict their scope by including examples of clearly illegal or unprotected conduct, such that they could not be reasonably construed to cover protected activity, are not unlawful.
Among the examples of prohibited conduct considered to be "clearly illegal" or "unprotected" include:
One can imagine many employers will just adopt the policy set forth in the Memorandum as this is truly the first time such a lawful policy has been published and pre-vetted by the NLRB.

This is a summary of the different parts of the GARN® WHS and their purpose. Think of the GARN® WHS as a big tank of water that you heat by burning wood. We don't modulate the fire. The entire wood load is burned quickly while the heat is dumped into the large water tank. By doing so, we get a cleaner, more efficient burn. That means less wood, less work, and less smoke. When a thermostat calls for heat, a pump turns on and draws the hot water out of the tank and into your heated space for distribution.
1. Fresh air is ducted from the outside and enters the unit through an inlet in the back.
- A GARN WHS needs to be installed indoors. A designated area in a building, a separate building, or an attachment to an existing building is required.
- This is the front of the GARN WHS unit. The front is where you load wood, mount the blower, access the digital controller, drain the unit (when needed), and access the cleanout ports for periodic pipe cleaning. An overflow pipe is also provided so the first time you heat your unit the water that expands to the top of the tank comes out here. The GARN® WHS provides optional off-peak electric elements fittings up to 49.5 kW.
- This is the back of the GARN® WHS. The back is where you connect to the 2" hot water supply (3" on the WHS 3200) and 1.5" hot water return (2.5" on the WHS 3200), duct the fresh air intake, and vent with the horizontal exhaust (if applicable).
- This is the top of the GARN® WHS. The top is where you access the full-size manway (for water inspection and water chemical addition), anode rods (for corrosion protection), fill the tank with water, and vent with the vertical exhaust (if applicable).
- A fire is started by loading the combustion chamber and adding some newspaper and small kindling. A simple match does the trick. The fire heats the tank of water.
- Reloading after a fire is easy. Open the combustion door. The induced draft blower ensure little to no smoke backdrafts into your space. You can then pile on more wood to get the water up to your desired temperature.
- When your building calls for heat, a pump in your system turns on and draws the hot water from the tank and distributes it for heat. A fire need not be maintained constantly. That's the idea behind storing the heat.
- The GARN WHS is not pressurized and so cannot be directly connected to a pressurized system. The GARN WHS can interface with a pressurized system by simply installing a heat exchanger.
- When the GARN WHS unit drops below the operating temperature of your system, start a fire and heat the water again.

ESPN Films' Benji to Premiere October 23 on ESPN
Latest 30 for 30 documentary examines death of Chicago high school basketball phenom Ben Wilson
ESPN Films' 30 for 30, presented by Buick Verano, will premiere Benji on ESPN/ESPN HD on Tuesday, October 23, at 8 p.m. ET. A selection at this year's Tribeca Film Festival and Chicago International Film Festival, Benji is directed by Coodie and Chike and examines the tragic death of Simeon High School star Ben Wilson. The trailer for Benji can be viewed at espn.com/30for30/.
In 1984, 17-year-old Benjamin "Benji" Wilson Jr. was a symbol of everything promising about Chicago: a beloved, sweet-natured youngster from the city's fabled South Side, and America's most talented basketball prospect. Wilson was the first high school player in Chicago's history to be ranked as No. 1 and his senseless murder the day before his senior season sent ripples through the city and the nation.
"Ben's death brought such grief to Chicago when it happened and it is sad to see that gang violence there is as bad as it was back in the 1980's," said co-director Coodie Simmons, a Chicago native. "All filmmakers hope that their film can have a powerful impact on people and maybe sharing Ben's story can shed some much needed light on this epidemic."
Several NBA stars have carried on Wilson's legacy over the years including Chicago Bulls' guard Derrick Rose, who graduated from Simeon in 2007 and, throughout his high school career, wore number 25 in Benji's honor. Wilson's friend and Simeon teammate, former NBA player Nick Anderson, wore jersey number 25 during his career and Juwan Howard also wore number 25 at the University of Michigan as a tribute to Wilson. Current Simeon basketball player and top-ranked high school recruit Jabari Parker has the number 25 stitched into his team sneakers.
The remaining films for this slate of 30 for 30 documentaries will air as follows:
- · Tuesday, Oct. 23, 8 p.m. – Benji (Coodie and Chike)
- · Tuesday, Oct. 30, 8 p.m. – Ghosts of Ole Miss (Fritz Mitchell)
- · Saturday, Dec. 8, 9 p.m. – You Don't Know Bo (Michael Bonfiglio)
Each 30 for 30 film will be available on iTunes and Amazon.com the day after its television premiere. The 30 for 30 Film Favorites Collection, a new gift set including the most popular titles from ESPN Films, is now available on DVD. 30 for 30-related updates are available at www.facebook.com/espn30for30 and www.twitter.com/30for30.

This course is designed to develop the approach to investments and security analysis pioneered by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd. The course details the comprehensive statistical evidence in favor of such an approach and the types of investments that are likely to be fruitful targets of a value approach. The course focuses on an approach to determining intrinsic values in practice that has the advantage of segregating valuation information by reliability level and using only the most reliable information as a basis for investment decisions in order to obtain a "margin of safety." The course consists of lectures and visiting speakers who are successful practicing value investors.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Crazyquilt Disapointent Sizing ran very large. Collar and cuffs were filled with foam rubber feeling fabric. Shell was balloon-like June 25, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jinks2013 Plus Size Tres Elegant Knit 3-pc Set What I like most about this fabric, is that it does not cling to my body,like many other wrinkle-free materials do, and I like that look; particularly, across my buttocks in the rear. It truly is wrinkle free and the 1X fit was right for me, as I usually buy a 20-22 women's plus size.. I like the extra shirring at the shoulders as it makes your upper arms look nicer and is a better fit. I wear set to church and anything special, as well as just a plain golf club meeting in the fall and spring. I think it is too much for Kansas heat in the summer months, but I love its traveling versatility for the coming trip this winter! September 30, 2013

Not only are the pant legs long, seamstress removed six inches, I'm 5'5", she had to take in the legs width by at least 4". Travelsmith you really need to look at our comments and listen to your customers. Sell this as separates and understand that there are SHORT people that wear the extra large sizes!!! Make this size an option 1x,2x, 3x in a SHORT. November 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TravelingLight Good formal night pick I brought this outfit on a cruise and it worked out perfect for the formal dinner evening. I added a different shell for a different night. I got quite a few compliments. I was in between sizes and decided to get the smaller size because of other postings. That worked out well. This fall it will go to Europe with me. We only do carry on bags so it needed to be packed pretty tight. The fabric had very few wrinkles and those relaxed on the hanger. April 21, 2011

Clear Springs
A Memoir

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreIn this superb memoir, the bestselling author of In Country and other award-winning books tells her own story, and the story of a Kentucky farm family, the Masons of Clear Springs. Like Russell Baker's Growing Up, Jill Ker Conway's The Road from Coorain, and other classic literary memoirs, Clear Springs takes us back in time to recapture a way of life that has all but disappeared, a country culture deeply rooted in work and food and family, in common sense and music and the land. Clear Springs is also an American woman's odyssey, exploring how a misfit girl who dreamed of distant places grew up in the forties, fifties, and sixties, and fulfilled her ambition to be a writer.
A multilayered narrative of three generations--Bobbie Ann Mason, her parents and grandparents--Clear Springs gracefully interlaces several different lives, decades, and locales, moving from the industrious life on a Kentucky farm to travels around the South with Mason as president of the Hilltoppers Fan Club; from the hippie lifestyle of the 1960s New York counterculture to the shock-therapy ward of a mental institution; from a farmhouse to the set of a Hollywood movie; from pop music concerts to a small rustic schoolhouse. Clear Springs depicts the changes that have come to family, to women, and to heartland America in the twentieth century, as well as to Bobbie Ann Mason herself. When the movie of Mason's bestselling novel In Country is filmed near Clear Springs, it brings the first limousines to town, even as it brings out once again the wisdom and values of Mason's remarkable parents. Her mother, especially, stands at the center of this book. Mason's journey leads her to a recognition of the drama and significance of her mother's life and to a new understanding of heritage, place, and family roots.
Brilliant and evocative, Clear Springs is a stunning achievement. less

NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
http://www.reportlinker.com/p0701251/US-Biologics Market.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Biopharmaceutical
US demand to exceed $100 billion by 2015
Demand for biologics will exceed $100 billion in 2015, experiencing continuing strong growth following a decade of double-digit annual increases. Continued growth will be driven by dramatic shifts in production technology and expansion of targeted diseases, and challenged by the introduction of biosimilar products following patent expiry of major biologic products.
Monoclonal antibodies to benefit from biotech boom
Biologics such as insulin and red blood cell stimulants have been available for many years, but since the introduction of recombinant DNA technology, manufacturers have developed a wide range of new products with very specific applications. Monoclonal antibodies are a prime example of this important shift. Proteins that destroy targeted antigens can now be purified, cloned and introduced into patients to instigate immune responses. These products have quickly established themselves as effective therapies for many forms of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, macular degeneration and other conditions. New antibodies are under intensive investigation, and will be introduced to market within the forecast period.
Routine immunizations to boost vaccines demand
Biologics are also being targeted for a wider range of diseases and population segments. Biologics are complex materials that must be pro

We just got the neatest letter from First Lady Laura Bush "thanking us for the opportunity to discuss women's heart health" in AARP Bulletin this summer.
It seems Mrs. Bush got a phone call from a nurse whose patient's life was saved because she read the article! This is a great story – here are a few excepts from the First Lady's letter:
"The patient arrived at the emergency room 30 minutes after she began feeling chest pains. She told the nurse that the day before she had read the Bulletin's article describing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack in women. She also mentioned she would feel silly if her chest pain was not a heart attack,
"Within 20 minutes of being at the hospital doctors determined that she was indeed having a heart attack and they began preparing her for a cardiac catheterization. She suddenly became unresponsive … and the team of doctors quickly responded by shocking her heart two times. She was stabilized and the doctors went on to perform a cardiac catheterization …
"Within 50 minutes of the onset of her symptoms, her heart had gone into a rhythm that could have caused her death if she had not read the AARP Bulletin and recognized the signs…
"This patient's personal story highlights the importance of raising awareness about heart disease in women. Keep spreading the word – together we can continue to make a lifesaving difference!
"With best wishes,
Laura Bush"
I hate to be so cheesy, but I'm reminded of AARP's motto, "The power to make it better." It feels pretty darn good to be a part of this organization. We were so proud we had it framed and are looking for a prominent place to hang it for everyone to see.

Publishers are the ones that become millionaires, not the artist. Publishers do the marketing, publicity and products, all this video games based on mangas or comics are made because the Publishers said "hey, this comic/manga sells a lot, we should use the rights for a video game or a movie". Of course the artist is going to have part of the profit and if they are legally smart, they are going to have some control over their creations, but trust me, Publishers have a lot of power.
Just saw this thread and I agree with the sentiment that if you want to become a mangaka in Japan you're at an extreme disadvantage. This is not just because there are tons of talented artists (which there are), but because it is extremely difficult to write a well crafted story in a language other than your native tongue.
The state of the comic industry and the major publishers (Marvel, DC) is actually pretty poor at the moment. Their sales revenue has been dropping steadily, syndication for newspapers has also been going down. So the major publishers are not buying much new IP and just trying to hold on to and profitize their current major brands. Which makes it that much harder for people starting out.
I would suggest doing a webcomic as a way to help yourself get into the industry. This does three things that can really impact how publishers view you. Firstly and most importantly, you can build a following - this means there's already a potential revenue stream available which means less money publishers have to risk trying to create one. Second, you are constantly building a body of art work that is highly visible - the publishers are able to see exactly what kind of talent you have. Lastly, by setting your own deadlines and consistently meeting them you are proving you have the discipline needed to work in the industry.
Who knows, maybe if you're successful enough at doing the webcomic you'll decide to self publish instead of selling to a major label. I know of at least two comic artists that have been able to make a living doing this. One is Howard Taylor of Schlock Mercenary and the other is Fred Gallagher of Megatokyo. The latter of which has had his webcomic translated into Japanese and released in takubon form in Japan - I don't know of many other webcomics that have been able to penetrate both markets.
While there are always naysayers, I still like to believe that where there's a will there's a way. Your route just may be a little longer than some nihonjin.
Oda's a billionaire. A billionaire in Yen, not USD, but a billionaire regardless.

Tampa, Florida -- When you elect someone to represent you, their salary is paid by your tax dollars. But what if some of those local leaders took that paycheck and used it to fund their own business deals?
The 10 News Investigators, who first broke the story about legislators getting a multimillion dollar grant they should not have from one Bay area county, now have what appears to be the smoking gun that shows part of the reason the lawmakers received the grant is because of their elected position.
While Tampa State Representative Jamie Grant says, "I'm proud of the work that has been done," some who live in Hardee County --like retired Air Force pilot Hank Kuhlman -- say Grant should be ashamed for receiving a $2.6 million handout from the county. When Grant and other lawmakers applied for the money, they didn't have a company and they didn't have a product.
The state auditor general says Hardee County should never have given the money to Grant's company, LifeSync Technologies.
Kulhman says, "There are specific Florida statues that prohibit using your position as an elected official to your special private gain."
But the 10 News Investigators have found evidence that appears to show Grant and another state representative, Jason Brouder, got $2.6 million in taxpayer dollars, in part, because they are elected officials.
In a conversation before a Hardee County Industrial Development Authority (IDA) meeting, the number two person in the agency explained why it's important the IDA give millions of dollars to Grant's company. Sarah Pelham says, "Jamie, the one on the right, he is a state representative."
That surprises the man who is sitting next to her, who says, "Really? That helps."
Pelham goes on to say, "And then there is another partner who is not here today who is also a state representative."
Pelham explains it is good for the county to give big bucks to friendly legislators, saying, "So it's not only beneficial for them to get help from us, it's beneficial for us to help them."
When we tried to ask Bill Lambert, the head of the agency who gave the lawmakers the millions, he said it would take three days to explain and he wasn't happy when we recorded his reply with our iPhone.
We told Lambert we didn't have three days to spend with him, but did have some questions, and that's when he grabbed our iPhone and tried to block our pictures and questions.
Grant is now the target of an ethics complaint filed by Kuhlman, who points out Grant sold his company without telling Hardee County. In return, Grant and his partners received more than a million shares of the new company. Grant also got a consulting deal that paid him several thousand dollars.
State records show that Grant was able to increase his net worth from a little more than a thousand dollars to more than $100,000 in less than two years.
Kuhlman says, "The people of Hardee County are figuring it out."
Grant says, "This complaint has no merit and I am confident it will be dismissed. It is nothing more than an attempt to tarnish my reputation at the urging of special interests. The claims made are patently false and I look forward to them being proven as such."
Grant adds, "There is nothing we have ever done that has not been fully transparent."
According to the auditor general, that's not exactly true. Among other things, the auditor general said in a scathing audit that Grant didn't tell Hardee County -- as he was supposed to -- that he was selling his company and the grant that went along with it.
The worst part? That taxpayer grant was supposed to help people in Hardee County, one of the state's poorest counties, get jobs. But so far, only a handful of people have been hired, many of them the family members of local leaders, including the husband of Sarah Pelham, who was caught saying on tape that giving Grant the millions would be good for Hardee County as well as the legislators.
It certainly has been good for Pelham's family. Now we will have to see if the State Ethics Commission cracks down on Rep. Grant and his colleagues.

This summer the David Suzuki Foundation is working on building Canada's first "Homegrown National Park," a crowd-sourced green corridor in downtown Toronto. The park will consist of restored and reclaimed urban green spaces, bird-and bug-friendly backyards, rooftop gardens, and balcony agriculture initiatives, which will all be stewarded by a team of volunteer "park rangers" appointed by the Suzuki Foundation. Although the deadline for ranger applications has already passed, it is not too late to unofficially participate in the groundbreaking project.
A few weeks ago we spoke with Carol Dunk, Environment Chair at the Ontario Horticultural Association, about how to start a Do-It-Yourself pollinator patch. Pollinator patches are small-to-medium sized garden plots that are dedicated to restoring Ontario's traditional floral biodiversity. As the O.H.A. Environment Chair, Carol spearheaded the Roadsides Pollinator Project, an initiative that took countless gardeners to Ontario highways to boost the presence of native plant varieties that so many creatures rely on for food and shelter. She is an avid proponent of environmentally-minded guerilla gardening, and shared some tips on how you can create a patch of your own on some vacant city land, to help bring more native fruits (such as wild strawberries, chokecherries, elderberry, wild raspberries) to your neighbourhood.
CAROL DUNK: I've always liked to think that I knew about the environment and cared for it, but after a trip to Texas where we saw the plantings along the side of the road that (former First Lady) "Lady Bird" Johnson had created, I thought it would be nice if the roadsides of Ontario were prettier and had flowers. The second thought was that if we are going to plant flowers along roadsides then they should be native, and from that came the thought that this would be a perfect conservation idea. I devised the idea for the pollinator patch, which is a 6 metre by 3 metre plot of native grasses and wildflowers, and I sold that to the O.H.A. and to its members as something that each of us would be able to do. I'm older, and since a lot of our members are older too, we can't do acres and acres of pollinator plantings. What we can do is little patches, but hundreds of them. My community here was very pro that idea, and it has expanded into unused lots everywhere. Instead of just roadsides, look for vacant lots in town around you, or in your own garden, anywhere you can spare a little patch to dedicate to the invertebrates, flowers and plants of Canada.
It is important to plant native plants because we are at risk of losing our biodiversity in Ontario, when we plant mostly hybrids that we buy from our nurseries. The first reason to plant natives is simply that they grow better here, and are better at absorbing water. The second reason is that animals and insects have been attached to our native plants for aeons, and when we plant our hybrids we are not always providing food for birds and bees and other invertebrates. The kind of planting that you are doing with native plants also gives habitat for birds. Tallgrass Ontario is planting large sections of prairie to provide habitat for such things as bobolinks which are disappearing from Ontario. When you plant a pollinator patch you are helping to bring back or restore some of the habitat that the birds had before. If we want to keep our land natural, then we need to plant for all of the things that should be here.
The object of the planting is to have some sort of nectar or pollen from early spring to late fall. This means you'll need spring plants, midseason plants, and fall plants. For spring pollination, I planted wild strawberries, chokecherry and New Jersey tea. We've had great results with the strawberry, it is a good groundcover. For the summer: black-eyed susan, butterfly weeds, golden alexander, purple coneflower. The Fall is easy too, you can plant goldenrod and asters. You will also want to plant some grasses. I planted a few kinds of grasses that I knew bees would like; little bluestem, sideoats grama, and one of the panicums (switchgrass). You don't think of bees going to grasses but they do, and quite often bumblebees will nest underneath a clump of grass. It is also easier to use plants from nurseries instead of seeds, you tend to have better luck that way.
If you are going to plant on someone else's property, whether it is the city, the municipality, or the county, then you will need permission. One of the things you will have to do is write a proposal. Tell them the benefits, and how long you are going to be committing to it. With my pollinator patches I suggest a commitment of three years, after that it should be able to stand on its own once the plants have established their root systems.
If you want to do a patch the most you'd need is three people. You'd need to go to whoever owns the property and get permission to plant, and what I've found is that it works best to give them two or three different location options, and then let them decide on where the patch will go.
It is legal to plant by roadsides but the Ministry of Transport doesn't always want it. When I phoned them, you could almost hear the fear in their voice: "Oh my god, fifty thousand little old ladies planting along the road!" If you are planting along a roadside, you'll need something that is about 20 feet wide, so you can pull a vehicle over and still have space to garden. The Ministry will want to do maintenance, and so you will need to leave an area that can be cut between your area and the road.
The best advice is to just go for it. If you go to my website there is a booklet that you can download or read. Just do it. Be guerilla gardeners.
For more information on planting pollinator-friendly plant varieties, you can check out the Ontario Invasive Plant Council's Southern Ontario guide, Grow Me Instead: Beautiful Non-Invasive Plants for Your Garden.

Luckily, no food-rain spoiled the red carpet of the "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" premiere -- but there was still plenty of silliness.
Starring Bill Hader and Anna Farris, "Cloudy 2" picks up after the first movie's massive food storm and follows Hader's Flint Lockwood, who leaves Swallow Falls to work for Will Forte's Chester V. But when Flint returns to his hometown he discovers his machine is still churning out food, except this time, instead of weather, it's food-animal hybrids. Just imagine the chaos -- shrimpanzies, watermelonophants, and apple pie-thons.
Farris, who returns as the voice of Sam Sparks, got goofy for photogs alongside Hader, who flashed his signature silly smirk. Co-star Neil Patrick Harris looked dashing as always, while Terry Crews and Kristen Shaal goofed off with their animated counterparts and costumed characters, as well as other familiar faces, including Rob Corddry, Marcia Gay Harden, and Lou Diamond Phillips.
Check out the premiere photos below. "Cloudy with a Chance 2" invades theaters September 27.

Ralph Balson arrived in Sydney in 1913 and was, by trade, a plumber and housepainter. In the early 1920s he began classes at Julian Ashton's Sydney Art School, before joining a small band of Sydney-based artists, including Rah Fizelle, Frank and Margel Hinder and Grace Crowley. Balson quickly absorbed their structural approach to painting, based largely on cubist principles.
Portrait of Grace Crowley depicts Balson's mentor, and reveals his experimentation with pictorial ideas introduced to Crowley in Paris by the influential teacher and painter, André Lhote. Painted in Crowley's studio, the work is executed
in a quasi-abstract style, a prelude to the complete non-figuration Balson unveiled to the Australian public in a historic solo exhibition in 1941.

Grapevine Canyon
During the summer months this is a VERY HAZARDOUS activity due to excessive heat. Please consider re-scheduling this hike during the cooler fall and spring months. For more on desert safety please visit our SAFETY PAGE.
A Desert Oasis
The hike farther into the canyon is moderate with some climbing over large boulders required.
The relatively lush plant growth in the canyon is in sharp contrast to the stark hillsides. This extra moisture from the small spring allows a number of plants to grow here that could not survive on drier slopes. Cottonwood, arrowweed, canyon grape, cattails and rushes grow in the canyon.
The presence of a spring and the variety of water loving plants draw desert bighorn sheep and other animals into the canyon.
Determining the exact age of the petroglyphs is difficult. Evidence from recent research projects indicates that the age of the etchings spans a time period from as recent as 150 – 200 years ago to more than 800 years ago.
Archeological artifacts and sites are protected in National Parks. It is illegal to remove or damage archeological materials. Disturbance of these resources destroys our heritage.
Spirit Mountain
Grapevine Canyon lies to the south of Spirit Mountain, the highest peak in the Newberry Mountains. Rising to an elevation of 5,639 feet above sea level, Spirit Mountain and the surrounding canyons are sacred grounds for the Yuman speaking tribes of the lower Colorado River. The mountain plays a prominent role in the religion and mythology of these people. They believe the mountain (called Avikwame by the Mohave people and Wikame by the Hualapai) is the spiritual birthplace of the tribes. Their creation story says...At one time all people belonged to one tribe, but they began to quarrel. The Creator, Mutavela, settled the dispute by dividing the great land into four sections, the North peoples, the South peoples, the East peoples and the West peoples. The Mohave were the west people and occupied the land along the Colorado River from what is now Black Canyon to the Bill Williams River. The other groups moved north, south and east.
Spirit Mountain and the surrounding canyons collectively have been named a Traditional Cultural Property and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of their significance to the Yuman speaking tribes which include Mohave, Hualapai, Yavapai, Havasupai, Quechan, Pai pai and Maricopa. This area is still sacred to the members of these tribes.
While visiting , please respect the traditions of the people who still consider this area to be sacred to their lives and culture. Do not deface the petroglyphs. Even touching them can cause damage. Please do not climb on the rocks and panels. Look, observe, imagine. Be still and listen.
How to Get to Grapevine Canyon
Grapevine Canyon is accessible from the Christmas Tree Pass Road, located off State Highway 163, six miles west of Davis Dam at mile marker 13. Turn right onto the dirt road. Two miles from the highway, a short spur road to the left leads into the parking area for Grapevine Canyon. Remember to carry plenty of water. Be sure to remove all your trash from the area. Remember this is a sacred area, take only pictures and memories, leave only footprints – on the trail!

Another Great Beanie from Ambler

This is a great mid-weight beanie from Ambler. It doesn't have as much slouch as the picture shows but that is fine by me. Can't wait for the cold weather to come.
