Best Dystopias (184)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Wither presents a dystopian future where men die at 25 and women die at 20. The reader is presented this world through the eyes of a kidnapped girl forced into a marriage with a rich man. Though an interesting concept, the novel tends to fall into cliches and stereotypical characters. However, these cliches are at least presented intelligently and the novel reads briskly.
I was feeling kind of burnt out on YA dystopias. The first time I looked at Wither, I put it back - thinking it wouldn't be my kind of thing. I gave it another chance and I am so glad I did. Wither is a unique foray into the YA dystopian genre - it's twisted and grim and that's how I like it! The thrust of the novel isn't really on romance, but on the strength of friendships between women and the bonds between siblings.
Okay, the general conceit is that, in the future, a team of genetic engineers were able to create a "perfect" generation - one with no disease. However, all subsequent generations have been cursed with a virus that kills every girl at the age twenty and every boy at twenty-five. There are still some of the first generation folks around - people now in their seventies - but everyone else is under 25 and knows their life is harshly limited. This is a grim world, full of social decay, poverty, overflowing orphanages and systemic corruption.
Rhine is sixteen and has four years to live. She and her twin brother, Rowan, have lived alone since their parents (two first-generation scientists) were killed. When they died, Rhine and Rowan stopped believing anyone would develop a cure. The world will die.
As the novel begins, Rhine has been abducted and is being held in the back of a dark van with a group of other terrified girls. We quickly learn that in this world the wealthy pay "Gatherers" for kidnapped girls to be their unwilling brides. From the group of girls Rhine is chosen because of her heterochromia. Two other girls are also selected - and the rest are shot. This sets the tone immediately as a dangerous, deadly world with high stakes.
Rhine finds herself the prisoner/bride of incredibly wealthy Governor Linden, who lives in a sprawling mansion-estate run by his sinister father, Housemaster Vaughn. Vaughn is the one who is really in control, a first-generation man who spends his time performing experiments in the basement. Everyone is scared of him.
Rhine and her sister-wives are trapped on their floor, which is controlled by high-tech security and holograms. As she gets to know the other girls, Rhine develops a strong bond with the other two girls. Jenna is older, withdrawn and mysterious. When we learn the cause of her sombre disposition it's really heartbreaking. Cecily is the opposite - a little girl, only thirteen, she has been brought up in an impoverished orphanage and thinks the mansion and their husband is a dream come true. She can't understand why Rhine and Jenna don't want to be there. And she can't understand why they are horrified that Linden would have such a young bride.
Rhine is determined to escape her forced marriage and find her way back to her brother. This is her strongest motivation throughout the novel. She isn't stupid about how she goes about this though, knowing that she needs to take things slowly and gain the trust of her new husband to be allowed more freedom to move around the mansion. To this end she pretends to fall for Linden, and as she does she (and the reader) learn more about this boy. He turns out to be more sympathetic than you think - for instance, he thinks all three of the girls wanted to be brides and has no idea the other girls the Gatherers took were killed. He also has some depth to him, as revealed through his drawings.
But Rhine never wanted to be his wife. Add to this a servant named Gabriel who she finds herself maybe sort-of attracted to and Rhine is no less determined to find a way out of her lavish jail cell.
I thought the relationship between Rhine and Gabriel was the weakest part of the story - I loved the sisterhood that developed between Rhine, Jenna and Cecily and how even Linden was intimated by their bond. I loved the futuristic setting of the mansion with its holograms and sinister underbelly. I loved Rhine's determination to get back to her brother and the strong bond between the siblings, their life revealed gradually though Rhine's memories. However, the Gabriel/Rhine romance fell flat for me.
She doesn't even know if she loves him, since the two aren't allowed enough freedom to explore that - which is part of the point - but it makes it hard to feel invested. Rhine sees Gabriel so infrequently and for such small amounts of time that it makes her feelings for him hard to buy. Anyway, I'm assuming this will be developed more in the next two books.
Overall, I loved Wither! I really found myself caring about Rhine, Jenna and Cecily and wanting to know what would happen to them. The world the author has created is suitably dark and dystopian, but it's a unique spin on the genre that I don't think I've seen before. I love the friendships between women that are so integral to this plot - Rhine also befriends Linden's original wife, his childhood sweetheart Rose, who is dying from the virus when we meet her.
I recommend Wither to fans of YA dystopia and plan on reading the sequels soon.
I read this because my daughter just loved it and wanted me to read it. I can see why she loved it, good youth fantasy with a hook (after world calamity, one generation is bread to be the super gen, but their children all die young; what will happen to the heroine, will a cure be found before she withers). As with most YF books these days, some of the life factors are really bothersome to me as a liberated woman, but that is also the fun of it -the "no way out" romance teen hook.
How very different from others in it's genre. This world is filled with tragedy and horrors I couldn't bare to imagine. The main character was very easy to relate to. The "villain" was very scary in a very human way. The world that this author has created makes you stop and think about some very real things and situations that could come into play very possibly in our lifetime. There are scientific themes that while probably seemed well meaning in the beginning, turned out to have horrifying consequences, thus reinforcing my belief that certain things should not be messed with. At the very least, we should be fully aware of what could happen when we do. I love a book like this that keeps me entertained, all the while forcing me to think and expand my views. I am very eager to read the rest of the series and see what becomes of Rhine.
How would you feel if you were 16 years old and and knew that you only had 4 years left to live? Well this is life of Rhine Ellery. When I read this on the back cover of this book, I knew that this had to be a great book to read. I really enjoyed this book and it was very eye catching. If you want to find out what does Rhine tries to do stop her death you should read this book. It is a great read.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera
10 Dec 2007 18:04 GMT | Sport
Robbie Deans: Being interviewed by the ARU [GALLO/GETTY]The prospect of appointing a New Zealander as the next Wallabies coach has set alarm bells ringing in Australian rugby circles.
Former players and coaches have called on the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) to stick with an Australian instead of giving the job to a foreigner.
Five Australians, Laurie Fisher, Alan Jones, Ewen McKenzie, John Muggleton and David Nucifora, have all been interviewed for the job.
But New Zealand's Robbie Deans is suddenly looming as the favourite after the ARU agreed to grant him a late interview when he missed out on the All Blacks position.
Second choice
Former Australia coach Eddie Jones said he had his doubts about whether Deans really wanted the job after losing out on his first choice.
"There is no doubt they have to try and find the right candidate, the only thing I'd question is does Robbie really want to coach Australia," the South African assistant coach said.
"You've got to have someone who wants to coach Australia, not coach Australia because he missed out on another job."
Jones's comments came after McKenzie, who had previously worked as an assistant coach, said he feared a foreign coach might neglect the lower levels of club rugby for the sake of the national team.
"You need to get the rugby community on board and to do that you need to know who the people are, where the influence is and where the politics are at and that is something local coaches know more about than a foreign coach," McKenzie said.
"To come in from the outside, yeah, you can handle the team, but what about the rest of it? You're not going to know anyone, you won't know the personalities."
'Against nature'
Former Wallabies lock-turned newspaper columnist Peter Fitzsimons said it would be a "dark day" for Australian sport if a New Zealander was made coach of the Wallabies.
"Deans is a fine man, a great coach, a credit to rugby and everything else you'd want in a national coach, except one thing. He is not of the nation he is coaching," Fitzsimons wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald.
"Certainly, that does not worry the football crowd, or most of the test cricketing nations, who are always happy to have a well-credentialed foreigner.
"But the Wallabies having a former All Black as coach, a New Zealander? Us, against our most cherished rivals, hauling up the white flag and saying that, yes, you're right, you are the superior rugby nation, so superior that we are reduced to taking your second-best coach and making him our best coach?
"It is against nature. I want it stopped. You want it stopped. Let's stop it."
Deans will be interviewed by the ARU this week with a decision on the coach expected before Christmas.
The position became available after John Connolly stood down following the Wallabies' quarter-finals exit at this year's World Cup.

Carnival Paradise Cruise Review by royal3: 3 day cruise not child friendly
Overall Member Rating
3 day cruise not child friendly
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
The was our first cruise on Carnival having sailed several time with Disney and RCCL in the past. For a 10 year old ship the Paradise is in good shape. The cabin bathrooms are very large and there is a lot of storage space in the cabins. As usual on a cruise, the cabin staff, and the dinner staff were great. That is about where the good news about the Paradise ends.
The 3 day Baja sailing is a "booze cruise". If you are traveling with children this cruise is not for you. We saw people vomiting on the ship (calm seas), urinating over the side, a 280 pound man who thought it would be fun to wear a woman's bathing suit bottom in the hot tub, and language that you would not want your child to hear. Although we have noticed ship security on past cruises, on this cruise they had 2 security people posted at the pool at all times, and we saw many drunks being escorted by security at night.
Even if you remove the drunks, the cruise still has problems. There was no live deck More band, no Lido deck sail away party (or any Lido deck parties at all), the slide pool was open only 1 out of 3 days, and the pool "water wars" area was only open for 30 minutes during the whole cruise. Unlike other cruises, if you bought the child soda card, you then had to buy the soda mug for an additional fee. Gives you the feeling of being nickled and dimed.
The Lido deck food was well below par with other ships. The pizza selections were original to put it nicely. The sushi bar was open a few hours only but the hours were never posted. It was pure luck you saw it open. If your goal is to get drunk and party at sea, this cruise is for you. If you have children then please leave them at home since this cruise is not family friendly.

ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2010; 17:886–889 © 2010 by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine
Objectives: This study examined the relationship between substance use disorder (SUD) and intimate partner violence (IPV) screening and management practices in the emergency department (ED).
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of adult ED patients presenting to an urban, tertiary care teaching hospital over a 4-month period. An automated electronic data abstraction process identified consecutive patients and retrieved visit characteristics, including results of three violence screening questions, demographic data, triage acuity, time of visit, and International Classifications of Disease, 9th revision (ICD-9), diagnosis codes. Data on management were collected using a standardized abstraction tool by two reviewers masked to the study question. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine predictors of screening and management.
Results: In 10,071 visits, 6,563 violence screens were completed. IPV screening was documented in 33.5% of patients with alcohol-related diagnoses (95% confidence interval [CI] = 27.7% to 39.3%, χ2 = 116.78, p < 0.001) and 53.3% of patients with drug-related diagnoses (95% CI = 44.3% to 62.3%, χ2 = 7.69, p = 0.006), compared to 66.1% of patients without these diagnoses (95% CI = 65.2% to 67.1%). In the multivariate analysis, alcohol (odds ratio [OR] = 0.30, 95% CI = 0.22 to 0.40) and drug use (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.38 to 0.83) were associated with decreased odds of screening. Of completed screens, 429 (6.5%) were positive, but violence was addressed further in only 55.7% of patients. Substance abuse did not appear to affect the odds of having positive screens addressed further by providers (OR = 1.96, 95% CI = 0.39 to 10.14).
Conclusions: This study found an association between SUD and decreased odds of IPV screening. Failure to screen for IPV in the setting of substance use may represent a missed opportunity to address a critical health issue and be a barrier to successful intervention.

I should add: when I open iMovie and start new project, then click on the camera icon, I get a screen and click capture. However, instead of recording video, whatever's on the screen at the moment freezes and no recording is happening.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Nextdoor (www.nextdoor.com), the private social network for the neighborhood, today announced the launch of Nextdoor 2.0 and a new round of funding of $21.6 million. Nextdoor 2.0 introduces a newly designed user interface, the ability for neighbors to reach nearby neighborhoods with relevant information and an enhanced focus on helping neighbors create virtual neighborhood watches to fight crime.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nextdoor-pushes-the-boundaries-of-the-neighborhood-with-the-launch-of-nextdoor-20-190784051.html
"We've been blown away by the rapid adoption of Nextdoor by neighbors across the country. Our members are truly passionate about bringing back a sense of community to their neighborhoods," said Nirav Tolia, Co-Founder and CEO of Nextdoor. "The launch of Nextdoor 2.0 and our new round of funding will accelerate our efforts to use the power of technology to build stronger and safer neighborhoods everywhere."
Nextdoor's new round of funding is led by Greylock Partners and includes existing investors Benchmark Capital, Shasta Ventures, DAG Ventures, Allen & Company and Pinnacle Venture as well as new investors Bezos Expeditions and Google Ventures. David Sze of Greylock Partners will join Nextdoor's Board of Directors. The company plans to use the new funding for product development and market expansion.
"I was fortunate enough to be involved in the early growth years at both LinkedIn and Facebook and have seen how the seemingly simple act of connecting people can lead to major change in the world and create seminal independent companies," said David Sze, General Partner at Greylock Partners. "Nextdoor is uniquely positioned to become the social network for your neighborhood and Greylock is honored to lead this round of funding at such a pivotal time for the company."
Today Nextdoor 2.0 is available to all members and includes:
- Focus on crime and safety – Nextdoor now features a dedicated section for Crime and Safety posts, Urgent Alerts for immediate notification of time-sensitive information and the ability for police and fire departments to share updates with members.
- Nearby Neighborhoods feature – The new Nearby Neighborhoods feature allows members to share information with others in surrounding neighborhoods while still maintaining their privacy. Often neighbors have needs to communicate with a broader audience, such as notifying residents of a rash of break-ins, requesting help to find a lost pet or promoting a garage sale.
- Improved user experience – Nextdoor has been redesigned from scratch to provide an intuitive navigation based on groups and categories, a post box that enables quick and easy categorization, like "Classifieds" or "Crime & Safety," and a responsive design that optimizes layout for web, mobile and tablet users.
Since its launch in October 2011, Nextdoor has expanded rapidly to serve more than 8,075 neighborhoods across all 50 states – doubling its reach in the last six months. Each day, more than 30 new neighborhoods launch a Nextdoor website. Nextdoor has also partnered with more than 90 city governments and police departments to enable neighbors to create virtual neighborhood watches in the fight against local crime.
About Nextdoor.com, Inc.
Nextdoor (www.nextdoor.com) is a private social network for the neighborhood. Using Nextdoor's free online platform, neighbors create private neighborhood websites where they get to know one another and ask questions, exchange local advice and recommendations and organize virtual neighborhood watches to reduce crime.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Calif., Nextdoor is a privately held company with the backing of prominent investors, including Benchmark Capital, Greylock Partners, Shasta Ventures and Bezos Expeditions. More than 8,000 neighborhoods across the country are using Nextdoor to build happier, safer places to call home.

PETALING JAYA: Three Tuhan Harun sect members were picked up in an apartment in Papar in Sabah in connection with the murder of Pahang Islamic Religious Department (Jaip) assistant enforcement chief Ahmad Rafli Abdul Malek.
The three, who went into hiding following the assassination on Nov 10 last year, were arrested by the Bukit Aman CID Special Task Force on Organised Crime (Stafoc) at about 2.30pm yesterday at the Melinsung Summer Bay Resort Apartment, about 40km from Kota Kinabalu.
Federal CID director Comm Datuk Hadi Ho Abdullah said two of those arrested were believed to be involved in the murder.
"The men, aged 36 and 37 from Johor Baru and Kluang respectively, were believed to be involved in the murder.
"Investigations revealed that the 36-year-old was the getaway driver during the murder," he said when contacted.
Comm Hadi said the third suspect, 33, from Bachok in Kelantan was not involved in the murder but had been identified as a Tuhan Harun strongman who was sent to Sabah to raise funds for the sect.
"All three suspects will be brought to Kuantan soon," he said.
With the arrests, Comm Hadi said police were still looking for one or two more suspects. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar congratulated the special CID ops unit on the suspects' capture.
"Well done Stafoc, managed to detain three suspects in Papar, Sabah in connection with the JAIP murder," he said in his tweet.
Ahmad Rafli was killed outside his house after a man called out to him. After greeting him, the man got out of his car and fired his gun three times, two of which hit Ahmad Rafli.
Subsequently, Khalid urged 31 followers of the cult to turn themselves in.
On Nov 20, Harun and two followers, including his wife, were detained after raids in Tangkak, Johor.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

Home > Press > Flexible Electronics is the Winner
The silicon chip took over forty years to approach a $300 billion business today. Now there is a new form of electronics that will hit that figure in half the time because, unlike the silicon chip, it subsumes electrics such as lighting, batteries, solar cells and heaters, not just electronics. It is usually achieved by printing and its most vital characteristic is physical flexibility. Take that as meaning a variety of capabilities valued in the marketplace such as foldability, conformance to architectural features, stretchability and even the ability to be tightly rolled, worn, washed and waterproof. Some forms survive being hammered and even stabbed so, in the main, we are talking of putting electrics and electronics where they could never go before. Another aspect is biodegradability where needed, even printing electronics onto paper. Multilayer structures are increasingly possible, reducing the number of interconnects and the area needed and increasing reliability.
The world's largest event exploring this new world and what comes next is the IDTechEx Printed Electronics & Photovoltaics Europe 2011 taking place in Düsseldorf 5-6 April. The presentations give a guide as to the most vital aspects being brought to market. For example, mobile phone company Nokia will talk about its work on stretchable electronics, something more usually related to healthcare products. The Samsung speaker Dr Bonwon Koo refer to customers wanting to carry something small that give wide area viewing and how its record breaking flexible polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) displays are one route to that market need. They are driven by ink jet printed transistor backplanes.
Creating many new markets
Presenter Dr. Harry Zervos of IDTechEx points out that, "Flexibility and light weight open up many new markets. It will be easy to go to the local DIY shop and buy rolled or folded solar panels and fit them in the average family car to take them home. There will be no need to strengthen the home roof before installing such panels."
However, he counsels that there is still work to be done if the full potential is to be realised, not least by improving the efficiency of the solar cells - currently one tenth of the figure for today's heavy glass versions - and reducing the cost of some of the inks used.
Konarka, a leader in organic photovoltaics (OPV), will address its technical progress and commercial direction. For example, poor OPV efficiency and weather tolerance currently makes it inappropriate for power station replacement. By contrast, its extreme flexibility and relative safety with children make it excellent for toys, packaging, solar bags and more. Taken together, these markets are potentially as large as the "power station" dream - something only recently appreciated.
High speed electronic printing
CSIRO of Australia will report how high speed gravure can be employed to print such films and the technical University of Ilmenau will describe slot die coating to make them. G24 Innovations will give the latest on its reel to reel printed Dye Sensitised Solar Cells (DSSC) that are based on unusually low cost materials and have certain usefully unique properties. ISORG of France now offers a new generation of high performance, thin and flexible electronic photodetectors and image sensors with 3D product integration capability for a large range of markets (industry, consumer electronics, environment, medical and security). Others have printed flexible batteries, memory and other components. It is clear that a formidable repertoire of components for complex flexible electrical/electronic circuits is becoming available. Indeed, basic circuit modules are now demonstrated such as the HF digital analogue RFID on plastic film demonstrated by Sunchon University Korea. It deploys transistors and diodes. This is a toolkit that creative designers will die for.
Of course, not all of these features appear in every form of the new electronics but each creates a huge new market where the silicon chip and its many connections to bulky conventional electronics and electrics will never compete. Here we often have ultra low cost, extreme thinness and, where needed, wide area because the clunky batch production with small slow machines that familiar in the manufacture of today's electrics and electronics is partially or wholly replaced by reel to reel printing with the new electrically active inks. Even the mirror-like images created by certain fast letterpress technology can be tweaked to be useful electronically. Other regular presses can sometimes be used for both conventional graphics and electronics. Indeed, in its early stages this new electronics has been more often been about modernising printing than about replacing old electronic products.
Invisible electronics
A wide variety of transparent electrical and electronic components have now been printed, opening up the possibility of adding electrical and electronic functionality to almost anything by applying a transparent plastic film to the surface because these see through circuits and power supplies have been already printed onto it.
Smart skin, brand protection, unrolling displays
Here we have the ability to put smart skin on dirigible balloons and aircraft to harvest energy, sense condition - even store electrical energy. Here is apparel that electronically protects against counterfeiting and provides new features such as monitoring vital signs. Smart packaging, posters, point of sale displays and healthcare disposables increasingly speak, interact and have moving colour images and more. Here is the modernisation of anything that is printed conventionally: we add sound, changing surface texture, colour video and more. Yes, the predicted mobile phone will arrive that unrolls a big colour display and keyboard that also captures light to power the battery. It will spring back into the body of the phone when not needed, being very tightly rollable.
New applications
We are at the beginning of this new world, with modest initial victories such as rollable keyboards and moulded car antennas made possible by screen printed flexible metal patterns. We have conformal light emitting "ac electroluminescent" colour displays up to four meters high and one hundred meters long but also animated colour emitted from washable t-shirts. Animated printed posters with sound interactivity and other electronic features can be seen in the Tokyo subway this year, their power coming from capturing the low level of lighting available using printed OPV. They are unrolled and applied like a regular paper poster. Indeed paper versions are coming next, the present disposable versions being on plastic film. Apparel, bags and parasols that charge your phone are newly on the market.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology refers to "tortuous flexing and folding into three dimensional structures" using photovoltaics printed onto paper - part of the new "origami electronics". On the other hand, Platingtech will address large area printed textiles and their applications made possible by printed sensor structures and heating.
Andreas Roepert of Interactive Wear says, "Building wearable electronics applications calls for flexible and very robust components. Requirements for textile integration from requirements in consumer and industrial applications." He will report progress towards functions including fashion/sports, wellness/medical and safety/security using keypads, displays, heating pads, solar cells and RFID. He sees this new electronics reviving brands with startling new features and market awareness. Here, the sequence will be photovoltaics, then Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays then other displays being incorporated as they mature, he predicts.
Kent Displays reveals flexible bistable displays, retaining their image when the electric power is removed. Polymer Vision describes very different displays and both will emphasise the many applications emerging for these advances. Hitachi Chemical's new copper nanoparticle inks have been used to manufacture intricate flexible structures opening up the capability to print complex antennas, keypads and other flexible structures. Particle sizes range between 10 and 100 nm for these inks and conductivities achieved have reached values (6 µΩ) comparable to those achieved with bulk copper (3 µΩ) so a more affordable alternative to printed silver is now with us.
All the above companies - and many more - are presenting or exhibiting at the world's leading event on the subject, Printed Electronics & Photovoltaics Europe 2011 in Düsseldorf Germany on April 5-6. There will be optional masterclasses and visits to centres of excellence in the subject on the day before and the day after the two day conference and exhibition. There is an awards dinner - still time to apply - and many other opportunities to network and get free information and working samples.

Region: Southwest
Topic: Groundcovers
Title: Ground cover for a sunny location
Answered by: Janice Kvale
QUESTION:Looking for Native ground cover for sunny slope in LaRue TX� I would like something that will cover year-round and flower in Spring/Summer/Fall. If it has a berry in the fall for birds and attracts butterflies so much the better.
A flowering, berry producing, evergreen ground cover that will attract birds and butterflies for a sunny location seems like a tall order. If erosion is an issue on the slope, you may need plants with fibrous roots to hold the soil in place. However, your problem with this project may be narrowing down all your choices! The following suggestions meet your requirements except where noted. You may want to use a combination of ground cover plants. Enjoy those birds and butterflies and don't forget that bees like those blossoms too!
Phyla nodiflora (Texas frogfruit) This evergreen ground cover spreads enthusiastically, has white blossoms from May to October and attracts butterflies.
Quincula lobata (Purple groundcherry) White, purple, and/or blue blossoms may appear from March through October and produce berries. Where there are berries, there are birds.
Sedum nanifolium (Dwarf stonecrop) This mat-forming sedum ground cover has yellow and green blossoms May through December and is often planted in rock gardens.
Helianthella californica (California helianthella) The fragrant blossoms on this aster are yellow from July to September. Butterflies love them.
Lenophyllum texanum (Coastal stonecrop) This succulent sedum works well in a xeriscape. The rosy yellow blossoms occur June to August.
Calyptocarpus vialis (Straggler daisy) This daisy straggles into landscapes sometimes uninvited, meaning it should be easy to maintain if not contain. Tiny yellow blossoms dot the greenery to the delight of sulfur and skipper butterflies from March through November. It may go dormant in the winter but can be paired with other blooming plants. See the full description in our Plant Database.
Dichondra argentea (Silver ponyfoot) OK, I am sneaking this non-bloomer in because I love its silvery good looks. It doesn't blossom but will densely cover large areas and controls erosion.
Acalypha radians (Cardinal's feather) From April to November, red blooms grace this pretty ground cover. It has clump-forming roots.
Artemisia ludoviciana (Louisiana artemisia) The fragrant silver foliage and small yellow flowers of this plant are semi-evergreen. It stands 1-2 ft high and spreads in large colonies.
Oenothera speciosa (Pink evening primrose) You may have noticed that roadsides break forth with showy pink primroses in February extending to July depending on rainfall. Birds love the seeds.
Salvia lyrata (Lyreleaf sage) The blue and violet tubular flowers attract hummingbirds as well as butterflies. This adaptable ground cover blooms March to June.
Callirhoe involucrata (Winecup) While the purple poppy mallow goes dormant in the summer, from March to June bees and butterflies flock to its white, pink or purple blossoms.

Confessions of a Foodie
I admit I have a problem: I'm obsessed with kitchen gadgets and cookbooks.
So I'll ask you guys for advice: Which tools can't you live without in the kitchen? And which cookbooks do you swear by?
My food writer friends can't keep new cookbooks sent their way, so my library has everything from the foods of southwest France to "cooking beyond the Great Wall." I admit I don't cook a fraction of the recipes from any of them. Mostly I keep them for the appetizing food photography, as a reference book and a nice tabletop book.
There are copies of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" (a must keep) and "365 Chicken Recipes for Everyday" (not really a keeper), but what is essential?
At some point I'll need to weed through my collection and keep the most coveted and useful books. I'd love to hear your suggestions.
But an even more painful obsession - at least for my bank account - is my love of kitchen gadgets.
I'm not as bad as many people I know who collect the latest mixer, knife or pot like people who must have the latest car, phone or computer.
I had one chef who said he was all into the bell and whistles as a student but as he's aged, he's appreciated simplicity more.
It's easier said than done. I still don't have a Kitchen Aid mixer or Cuisinart food processor. But I also want shiny, sharp Japanese-made knives and a nice butcher's block. Where to start?
