Butter Ya'self - Gettin' hot and heavy in the oven like a casserole
Butter Ya'Self (Vimeo; YouTube) is "basically ... the story of Drake and Lil' Wayne [as told with an anthropomorphic banana, hot dog bun, and stick of butter]. ButterKrust is 100% based on Wayne – Nana Splits isn't based on anyone real but his relationship to ButterKrust is based on Drake's relationship to Lil' Wayne. The most important thing I wanted to express in this video is the relationship between them, how tight they are and how much Nana Splits looks up to ButterKrust." That's the story from Julian Petschek, who is studying at The California Institute of the Arts. [more inside]

Headless Drummer
"The Demo" [SLYT] is the original pilot episode of the animated tv show, Bob's Burger's (previously).The theme remains the same, although the art style is a bit rough. The plot is exactly the same as the first episode, "Human Flesh", with minor differences in animation and timing. Oh, and Tina was originally a Daniel! [more inside]
"We are the facilitators of our own creative evolution."
Since his death from cancer at age 32, comedian Bill Hicks's (very previously) legend and stature have only grown; American: The Bill Hicks Story (previously) fills in the details of a life cut tragically short, blending live footage and animation, and is narrated by the 10 people who knew Bill best. A comic's comic and unflagging critic of hypocrisy and cultural emptiness, American: The Bill Hicks Story is now streaming for free on Snag Films.

Disney Studios censors Miyazaki collection, pulls Studio Ghibli compilation. "On Your Mark" a video directed by Hiyao Miyazaki, and produced between early January and late May, 1995 by a team of over fifty animators at Studio Ghibli, in cooperation with other studios, is being censored from the upcoming 13-disc "Collected Works of Director Hayao Miyazaki" collection. Disney is also stopping shipments of a 2005 Ghibli Shorts collection, which features the video, along 22 other shorts that Studio Ghibli produced over the course of decades. The rationale?! Nineteen years after the video's release, one of the members of the band that did the music for the video has been arrested, along with a female acquaintance, after police found MDMA at his home. The musician was arrested Saturday, but has not been charged or convicted, as yet. Both he and the woman he was arrested with claim to be innocent.
Lights, paper, action!
Davy and Kristin McGuire do some amazing things with cut paper, light and animation that turn these beautifully cut paper dioramas into haunting installations - including an homage to Hitchcock. Via Colossal.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return set a record for the all-time worst opening weekend for an animated film. Executive Producer Greg Centineo attributed the failure to a "conspiracy" of Hollywood's powers-that-be against independent production company Alpine Pictures. In light of Oz's glacially-delayed release schedule and shabby production values, it would appear that the heads of Alpine are completely incompetent…or are they? [more inside]
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together
This stop-motion video for British rock band James's song "Moving On" tells a tale of life, death, joy, and grief, using only yellow yarn. The video was created by BAFTA-nominated animator, writer, and director Ainslie Henderson. (SLYT)

(Walt) said we should have gone ahead and made it anyway
In the mid-1940s, surrealist artist Salvador Dali began collaborating with Walt Disney on a short film. The idea was fully storyboarded and an 18 second test animation was completed by Disney animator John Hench. Soon after, the idea was shelved due to a changing of focus with Disney Feature Animation. Almost 60 years later, Walt's nephew Roy E. Disney (with consultation from the now 95-year old Hench) spearheaded an effort to finish the film. In 2003, the finished product, "Destino", premiered.

Making Planet Express look good
In the future, making a delivery will require dedication, intelligence and observation. Or not. A sunny sweetly-drawn Jetsonesque animated short Johnny Express about interplanetary delivery that evokes Independence Day and War of the World. Written, directed and animated by Kyungmin Woo. Found on Gizmodo. Safe for work, but if you laugh at this you may be a very bad person (I did).
Christian Zander's abstract generative art
Christian Zander may have a commercial design background, he has a significant amount of work in a more abstract, generative style, as seen in his House and Bike blog posts, and strewn among his work portfolio. He has also worked with animations, both live (Kiss Kiss Kiss - "Ponte 25") and recorded (Kenton Slash Demon - "Ore" / I Got You On Tape - "Run From The Rain").

SpongeBob And The Ice King - One And The Same
You may or may not be aware that voice actor Tom Kenny performs as both the Number One Employee at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob SquarePants, and the nemesis of Finn and Jake, the Ice King. It is a strange nexus between the two shows, which otherwise come from very different imaginations and sensibilities. A 2012 article from the cartoon insider magazine Hogan's Alley spoke with many of the people involved in the creation of SpongeBob, while today The Awl featured this extended look at the creative forces behind Adventure Time, which can be read in full here.

Protein Packing
Harvard University and XVIVO have come together again (Previouslyw/ a commercial focus, Previouslierw/an Academic focus) to add to the growing series of scientific animations for BioVisions -- Harvard's multimedia lab in the department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. 'Protein Packing' strives to more accurately depict the molecular chaos in each and every cell, with proteins jittering around in what may seem like random motion. Proteins occupy roughly 40% of the cytoplasm, creating an environment that risks unintentional interaction and aggregation. Via diffusion and motor protein transport, these molecules are directed to sites where they are needed.
Much of this is no doubt inspired by the beautiful art and explained illustrations of David Goodsell, a biologist at Scripps who has been accurately portraying the crowdedness of the cellular landscape for a long time now.[more inside]

Are you a fan of inventive, black-humored sci-fi/fantasy animation? Desperate to fill the Futurama-shaped hole in your heart? Look no further than Rick and Morty, the superb new Adult Swim series from animator Justin "Lemongrab" Roiland and Community darling Dan Harmon. Inspired by a (terrible and very NSFW) Back To The Future knock-off, the show pairs a naïve young teen (Morty) with his cynical, alcoholic, mad scientist grandfather (Rick), each episode exploring a trope -- dreams, aliens, innerspace, parallel universes, virtual reality -- and turning it inside-out with intricate plotting, eye-catching art, and dark, whipsmart humor (with plenty of improvisation along the way). A ratings hit already secured for a second season, the show returns from an Olympics-induced hiatus tomorrow -- in the meantime, why not sample the six episodes aired so far: Pilot - Lawnmower Dog - Anatomy Park - M. Night Shaym-Aliens! - Meeseeks and Destroy - Rick Potion #9. Want more?

"A film that instead of making sense is sense."
Jamestown Baloos (1957) [SLYT] by Robert Breer [PDF] (previously) "is a frenetic, three-part stop-motion animation that features an army of everyday forms and figures — geometric shapes, a piece of string, newspaper clips, a pin-up girl, even Napoleon Bonaparte — flashing across the screen. Placed in increasingly compromised situations and choreographed to a jingoistic tune, the figures essentially become puppets of their former selves. Such unrelenting visuals recall not only Fernand Léger's early experimental film, Ballet Mécanique (1924), as Breer himself has mentioned, but also early twentieth-century Dadaist collage. Dada artists like Kurt Schwitters and Hannah Höch created witty, unapologetic works that reflected the chaos and violence of modern existence. Jamestown Baloos serves, as their works did, as a pointed indictment on the absurdity of war."
Concept artist and animator Lindsey Olivares has been seized by a vision. A vision of chicken telenovelas. (scroll past all the chicken pics and sketches for part 1). Part 2, with even more dazzling drawing and hand-lettering. Also be sure to enjoy her gif moments with Nana (or with bicycle) and her lovely student film.

CG Mockbusters
The Asylum gets all the attention (and the lucrative gig filling time for "SyFy") but they're far from the only company out there making "mockbusters," those ultra low budget, direct-to-DVD movies named similar to big Hollywood blockbusters, in the hopes that an inattentive purchaser will buy their movie in the hopes they're getting something better. But The Asylum's not the only ones making them, and a prominent mockbuster subgenre is that of companies making really poor CG movies that resemble Pixar and Dreamworks hits only to the extent that they can maintain plausible, legal deniability, their profit margins relying on clueless grandparents getting something nice for the little ones.
Two of these companies are Video Brinquedo (trailer for their Little & Big Monsters and some clips from its sequel) and Spark Plug Entertainment (trailer for An Ant's Life). Far more of their output, including whole movies, awaits you than you could ever hope to stomach.... [more inside]

Disney's Lilo & Stitch, everything is blown up, more fun, also more real
Lilo & Stitch is an odd movie to come from Disney for a number of reasons: a rare work based on an original story, set in a realistic version of the "island paradise" of Hawaii, focusing on strong female characters who have a realistic/varied bodyshapes. For more insight into the making of the "affordable" Disney film, here's Lilo & Stitch revisited, Part I, interviewing the creators Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, and Part II, featuring master animator Andreas Deja. For a taste of the animation, here are four teaser clips of Stitch invading other Disney films, the official full version of the Lion King interrupted trailer, and making of Lilo & Stitch short docu-clip.

Skip to comments.Mark Levins EPIC monologue on Republicans being forced to defund Obamacare
Posted on 09/18/2013 5:58:35 PM PDT by Kolath
Mark Levin delivered a fantastic monologue coming out of the gate today on Obamacare and the fact that Republicans have finally been forced by the American people to try and defund it.
(Excerpt) Read more at therightscoop.com ...
Color me skeptical. It will prove to be an insincere, ineffective effort, designed only to save some lukewarm RINO butts.
We're doomed. Obamacare is here to stay.
Please forward viral to your email list(s) and to your elected Royal.
Luckily, I voted for TED CRUZ, and I will again. And this is why we have any chance at all right now.
thanks for the post. nice to listen to mark levin.
Every word could have come straight from my mouth. Mark Levin speaks for me. Now it's up to us to keep the heat on our spineless Republican representatives to fight to the finish.
How about taking positives and going with them, instead of the gloomy Gus routine?
You lose 100% of the battles you don't fight.
Been getting my hopes dashed at least weekly going back to the Clinton years. I fervently wish for this disaster to die a quick death, but just can't see it happening.
Would love to be wrong, and will be the first to admit it, if it happens.
Been getting my hopes dashed at least weekly going back to the Clinton years. I fervently wish for this disaster to die a quick death, but just can't see it happening.
Would love to be wrong, and will be the first to admit it, if it happens.
A sincere THANK YOU!
Prayers up for you. That's a miserable place to find yourself in.
all career politicians on both sides of the aisle want 0bamacare. it's a massive increase in their power. they can't help it... they have to have it
any statements of defunding it are just that... statements. statements, made to try and soothe their constituents while attaining their ultimate desire... massively increased power
I'm just wondering when I'll be arrested...
as I won't willingly participate in the destruction of my country
Unfortunately, I have to agree with DJ as to the likely outcome.
Hope I'm wrong, and that in a week or two, you more optimistic folks can say: "See, I told you."
all career politicians on both sides of the aisle want 0bamacare. its a massive increase in their power. they cant help it... they have to have it
NOT ONE Republican voted for Obama care. There were plenty of Republicans that could be called career politicians back then. So what are you trying to say that I'm not buying?
So, you want the politicians, whether Republican or Democrat, support a 30 hour work week? An excise tax of 40%? An increase of IRS agents by 16,000 who will come after YOU? An employer penalty of $2,000/employee vs the cost of insurance of $10,000/employee (Wonder which the employer will chose)? A medical instrument tax?
Make Democrat Senators vote for this! I double dare them. I hate 2 legged mice as much as I hate 4 legged mice. Dammit! Stand up for hour damn beliefs. You MAY go down with the ship, but you WERE going go down the other way anyways. Show some damn courage.
No, I don't WANT it. I expect it, knowing what I know about the vast majority of the people in politics.
I'm getting tired of people who don't know a damn thing about me calling me a coward for trying to prepare them for the likely future.
Sten isn't the only one who IS standing up for his beliefs. I'm not buying any of their 'insurance', nor will I pay the penalty. They can throw me in jail or shoot me for it.
So tell me you brave, courageous gal...You warrior for all that is good and holy... Are YOU going to knuckle under and participate in 0bamacare if (when) your fellow Warrior Heroes in the GOP fail to stop 0bamacare? Or are you willing to take a prison term or a bullet for your beliefs?
Hopefully you,ll accept my apology.
Oh, Ok, FRiend.
We are in agreement then, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Were doomed. Obamacare is here to stay.
I agree.
Watch how quickly Boehner and his henchmen fold at the slightest sign of resistance from the Dems and the media.
And then Boehner will say, "Well we tried," to cover his spineless, wimpy loser ass.
Watch out. Just expressing your prediction of the probable outcome of this at the hands of feckless Republicans will open you up to accusations that you are part of the problem and wanted it to happen all along.
Look at some of the responses that my comment drew last night. Amazingly, just expressing an opinion of an unwelcome, yet expected, endgame suddenly means that I want the Democrats to do this, the Republicans to do that and any number of things that I did not say or imply. What I did say and imply was that most of the Republicans don't have the courage or the conviction to adequately fight this battle. They've demonstrated it time-after-time. Many are only looking for political cover to get their sorry asses re-elected next time around.
Doesn't matter how many times you write or call your reps, doesn't matter that you preach to anyone who will listen, doesn't matter how much you hate the what's going down in the country. What matters, apparently, is if that you adopt Charlie Brown's foolish optimism as he places the football down for Lucy to kick one more time.
As for Mr. You're-going-down-with-the-ship, he's in for a rude awakening. If (more likely when) the ship goes down, we'll both be beneath the waves. The difference is, one of us won't be surprised.
Obamacare is here to stay.
and most elected Republicans are fine with that I bet.
It is so bad that it could be voted out in the future with a few things left behind.
The two provisions that Democrats make fund raisers out of and political points would be the kids on plans till 26 and policies for the uninsurable.
I think Obamacare will be gone, but those other two things will remain in some form.

hi there,
great reaction time and thanks for the new version where the inactive flag show (more) correctly. Unfortunately I had the issue again:
When a banner is limited by time, let's say Feb 20th, is shows inactice in the banner list now, but is still on the page. It rotated with the default banner. Maybe there is still something going on? I will keep an eye on it.
Further I realized the new funktion Ads Place in the middle of content. Please notice: if you click on the text of the second line ...Ads Place HTML Code (before and after) ... the tick of Ads place after toggles.
So here comes another question. Would it be a big issue to make it selecable if the ad is added to an post or page. While my blogger wants ads inhis posts, he hates to see an ads within his imprint, testimonials, a.s.o.

Alpha Trianguli Australis (α TrA, α Trianguli Australis) is the brightest star in the southern constellation Triangulum Australe, forming an apex of a triangle with Beta and Gamma Trianguli Australis that gives the constellation its name (Latin for southern triangle). This star has the traditional name Atria, which is merely a contraction of its Bayer designation.[7][8] In traditional Chinese it is called 三角形三 (Mandarin: sān jiǎo xín sān), the Third Star of the Triangle.
Alpha Trianguli Australis is a bright giant star with an apparent magnitude of +1.91. Based upon parallax measurements, this star is located roughly 391 light-years (120 parsecs) distant from the Earth.[1] The estimated age of the star is 48 million years old; sufficiently old for a massive star to evolve away from the main sequence and expand into a giant.[3] It has a mass roughly seven times the mass of the Sun, but is emitting about 5,500 times the Sun's luminosity. The effective temperature of the star's outer envelope is 4,150 K,[3] which gives it the characteristic orange hue of a K-type star.[9] With a diameter 130 times that of the Sun, it would almost reach the orbit of Venus if placed at the centre of the Solar System.
There is evidence that Atria may be a binary star. It displays unusual properties for a star of its class, including stellar flares and a higher than normal emission of X-rays. These can be explained by a young, magnetically active companion with a stellar classification of about G0 V. Such a star would have a mass similar to the Sun, with an orbital period of at least 130 years. Young, G-type stars have a high temperature corona and frequently emit flares causing sudden increases in luminosity. The pair may be separated by about 50 Astronomical Units.[5]
In culture[edit]
Atria appears on the flag of Brazil, symbolizing the state of Rio Grande do Sul.[10]

A Henry County's native is the driving force behind the application for a $250,000 mentoring grant for students in Henry and Shelby Counties.
If awarded, the grant would help children whose parents are incarcerated.
A concerted effort to put a laptop computer into the hands of every high school student is the impetus for the 1:1 initiative being pursued by Henry County Public Schools.
HCPS Chief Information Officer Nikkol Bauer said the focus of the program is teaching and learning, not technology.
She explained that children already are technology "content consumers."

The first youth ball games have been played. Residents already are fishing in the lake. And dozens of people use the trail daily.
Less than four years after land was purchased, the first phase is almost complete for the Henry County Recreation and Services Park.
"I would never have dreamed four years ago that we would be this far along," Henry County Judge-Executive John Logan Brent said Monday.
For more than 100 years, it has signified the ceremonial end of summer.
It's a three day weekend for many, including family gatherings, barbecues and lots of rest and relaxation.
But if you want to get out of the house and yard for a little weekend fun, there's plenty going on throughout the region.
With Labor Day in our rear-view mirror, and hopefully the brutally hot weather as well, most of us are understandably looking forward to fall.
Interests may range from football to festivals, but getting ready for hunting season or casting a line in the nearest lake or river ranks high on the list for many. Native Americans called Kentucky the Happy Hunting Ground for a reason, and now more than ever, there is no shortage of people who love getting outdoors.

Without their success in the credit recovery program at Schofield Middle School this summer, a number of teenagers across Aiken County would have had to repeat a grade.
A number of middle school students from several schools had failed science, math, English or more than one but not by much. Each had the opportunity, over a three-week period, to take formal online lessons and required tests to earn a passing grade of 70. The students at Schofield included those from that school, as well as students from Aiken Middle School and Kennedy Middle School.
Credit recovery is important not only to the middle school students, but to the Aiken County School District, as well, said Schofield Principal Dr. Lloydette Young.
We dont want them to be retained in their (current) grade if they can do the work, she said. This can make sure they graduate on time, and it also fills in the academic gaps for them. They can work at their own pace on the computer and get feedback immediately.
The students and their families have plenty of incentive to do well on the computer lessons. But theres a monetary issue, as well, said Evan Lamar, a School District teacher and the summer instructor. The program costs families $140.
Some students may need the entire three weeks to earn a passing grade. Others can come in and get their work completed in just two days.
Several years ago, the credit recovery concept brought students into a formal class with a teacher. A total of 109 students participated at the Schofield site, which would have required a lot of teachers under the older structure.
The students in all the middle schools grades can work on what they need, Lamar said. Its rewarding for them.
Rashad Roland also worked with the students this summer. He previously was a paraprofessional at Leavelle McCampbell Middle School and is moving to Schofield as a parenting coordinator.
Some students werent always pushing themselves during the school year, Roland said.
They realized they needed to work and get it right, he said. The (older) students welcomed the opportunity to avoid sticking around the eighth grade.
Senior writer Rob Novit is the Aiken Standards education reporter and has been with the newspaper since September 2001. He is a native of Walterboro and majored in journalism at the University of Georgia.

One of the objectives of UPS's new "We Love Logistics" advertising campaign is to get people to understand how logistics plays an important role in everyone's lives. Even simple, mundane tasks such as getting a child off to school in the morning, running personal errands or preparing a family meal are examples of logistics in action.
Logistics even plays a big role in the world of sports, a point driven home in a series of new UPS video spots created for the NCAA® Men's Division I Basketball Championship, which begins today in Dayton, Ohio.
The series will feature notable NCAA figures such as Mike Brey, head coach of the men's basketball team at the University of Notre Dame. In each spot, the coaches speak about how logistics can make the difference between winning and losing in both the world of athletics as well as business.
Four 30-second videos will play on NCAA March Madness® on Demand, which will provide live streaming video of every game of the 68-team tournament. Those spots, along with two 2-minute videos, also will be available on a new UPS NCAA landing page.
Last March, UPS teamed up with the NCAA and CBS Sports to become the official logistics partner of the NCAA. I think this video series is a great way to tell the UPS logistics story within the NCAA sponsorship in a way a lot of people can relate to, especially if you're into college hoops.
I'm a native of Kentucky, where college basketball is almost a religion and March Madness is a high holiday. In all my years watching the University of Louisville Cardinals and the University of Kentucky Wildcats play in the NCAA basketball tournament, I never considered that it's not great shooting and rebounding that makes a championship team. All it really takes is great logistics!

There is very little in the original report to go on.
The _get_validation_exclusions function is new since the beta. This is to support model validation - but is really a form issue as the error implies that cleaned_data == None at the time to reporter's error is generated.
Have not tried to reproduce. Rif please read the wikiformatting article and post more complete details.

I am experiencing the same problem. Django 1.2 trunk, Python 2.5.4. What kind of information do you need?
comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by russellm
Take it as given that we *don't* get this error message. You are either doing something wrong (in which case, there might be a documentation problem) or you are using the code in a legitimate way that isn't currently tested, and so is failing. So far, we have no way to telling which of these is happening.
What we need is sufficient detail to reproduce the problem. What are you doing? With what models? What is the minimum possible set of models and forms with which you can reproduce this problem?

OK. Figured out the problem. You were right. My validation function clean() did not return cleaned_data in the end after validation was done. I just assumed that someone else had the same problem it would be DJango problem, which it wasn't.

Fernando Montiel: I've Never Been That Hurt Before
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Former champion Fernando Montiel is very disappointed with last Saturday's knockout loss to Nonito Donaire. Montiel lost his WBO/WBC bantamweight titles after a left hook put him down hard in the second round of their fight at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Montiel was badly hurt and unable to recover. Montiel said that he was never hurt like that in his entire career.
"I feel sad because I know the expectations that everybody had for me in the fight. I had a great camp and I felt great but in the end things did not go as I had expected. It hurts my pride because I know that it was a single punch that ended the fight. I'm fine, but yes, I've never been hurt like that before," Montiel said.

Really impressed with the set up here. The bottle selection in the shop being comprehensive and the 24 taps in The Back Bay Bar, which is tucked away in a corner almost all new to me. Four glass flights and friendly staff, even if their beer knowledge isnt too great. Only 3 Sports screens and a small sun trap patio. The best place Ive been to so far on this trip and miles better than the Yard House which I visited next.

Comprehensive Description
Range and Habitat in Illinois
National Distribution
Origin: Unknown/Undetermined
Regularity: Regularly occurring
Currently: Unknown/Undetermined
Confidence: Confident
United States
Origin: Native
Regularity: Regularly occurring
Currently: Present
Confidence: Confident
Ontario south to Georgia and west to eastern Oklahoma and eastern North
and South Dakota [15,19,27].
Occurrence in North America
Physical Description
Wild geranium is perennial herb 8 to 24 inches (20-60 cm) tall [29]. It
grows from a stout, branched, underground rhizome that spreads
horizontally up to 6 inches (15 cm). The rhizome bears 10 to 30
sparsely branched roots from the sides and undersurface.
Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal structures are present, increasing with
decreasing fertility of the soil [7,27,29,32]. A small proportion (4
percent) of populations are male-sterile; these female plants produce an
average of 60 percent more seed than hermaphroditic plants [1].
Range and Habitat in Illinois
Habitat characteristics
Wild geranium is found in woods, coves, thickets, and meadows [15,29].
It appears to prefer more mesic sites such as those found on mid to
lower slopes with northern and eastern aspects; preferred soils are clay
loam to sandy clay loams and sandy loams [9,20,21,23,27], of average to
above-average fertility, and from slightly alkaline or neutral to
slightly acidic [7,27,32]. In a study of plant distribution and soil
acidity, Wherry [36] found wild geranium in abundance on a rich
bottomland site on Long Island with soil pH of 6.5. Fifty years later,
on the same site, Greller and others [18] found that the soil pH had
declined to 4.08, and wild geranium had become a very minor component of
the community.
Wild geranium is abundant in dense patches in natural openings
throughout mesic woodlands [27,37]. It is found on sites protected from
strong winds, in open shade on hillsides, and on shaded roadsides [32].
Cull [11], working on a project to establish native plants on old
highway verges in Illinois, found it already present on the site.
In a study relating understory herb distribution to overstory trees,
Crozier and others [10] reported that the highest positive association
of wild geranium is with white oak when compared with its other common
associates: beech (Fagus grandifolia), yellow-poplar, red maple (Acer
rubrum), sweet birch (Betula lenta), black cherry (Prunus serotina), and
northern red oak. This association may be a result of higher calcium in
the soils under white oaks, due to runoff down the trunk of the tree.
Tree associates in addition to the above named include shagbark hickory
(Carya ovata), white ash (Fraxinus americana), eastern hophornbeam
(Ostrya virginiana), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), and American elm
(Ulmus americana) [4,9,19,20,24].
Common understory associates include Solomon's seal (Polygonatum
pubescens), false Solomon's seal (Smilacina racemosa), snow trillium
(Trillium grandiflorum), Anemonella thalictroides, common mayapple
(Podophyllum peltatus), sedge (Carex spp.), and bellwort (Uvularia
grandiflora) [9,10,12,34].
Key Plant Community Associations
Jones [20,21] reported wild geranium as a dominant understory species in
a submesic northern red oak (Quercus rubra)/white oak (Q. alba)/wild
geranium community type in the hilly coastal plain province of South
Carolina. The overstory dominance is shared among northern red oak,
white oak, pignut hickory (Carya glabra), and yellow-poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera). The shrub layer dominants are sweet-shrub
(Calycanthus floridus) and redbud (Cercis canadensis), with white ash
(Fraxinus americanus) in canopy gaps. The ground layer herbaceous
dominants include wild geranium, Christmas fern (Polystichum
acrostichoides), bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis), lovage (Ligusticum
canadense), and cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa).

General Ecology
Plant Response to Fire
Wild geranium increases in abundance immediately after fire [2]. On a
site invaded by black cherry and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), wild
geranium reappeared following a prescribed fire that top-killed the
invading cherry saplings [8].
The Research Paper by Bowles and others 2007 provides information on
postfire responses of several plant species, including wild geranium,
that was not available when this species review was originally written.
Immediate Effect of Fire
No direct documentation of the direct effect of fire on wild geranium is
available. However, in light of the fact that the rhizome is found at
the soil surface under closed canopies and 3 to 4 inches (7-9 cm) deep
under open canopies [27], it is reasonable to suggest that the plant is
more easily killed by fire where the rhizome is closer to the soil
Post-fire Regeneration
Rhizomatous herb, rhizome in soil
Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
Successional Status
More info for the terms: presence, succession
Facultative Seral Species
Wild geranium is moderately shade tolerant. It is found on disturbed
sites, but populations of wild geranium are best established in open,
undisturbed forest [27]. In a study of secondary succession on the New
Jersey Piedmont, Bard [4] found populations of wild geranium on
undisturbed sites and did not find it in abandoned fields at any stage
of succession. This may indicate that its presence in seed banks is
short-lived and/or that wild geranium is not an effective colonizer.
Regeneration Processes
Wild geranium perennates from a stout rhizome with blunt white tips that
hold the following year's bud [27,32]. Fragmentation of the rhizome
results in new individuals [28]. Natural stands are mosaics of clones
that appear to have enlarged from old, individual plants and persist by
vegetative means only [27]. Wild geranium is long-lived and has a low
mortality rate [1]. When crowded, the roots may rise above the soil
surface, exposing the buds to freezing [32]. Martin [27] noted that the
rhizomes are found at the soil surface (A1 horizon) under closed
canopies but in open communities are as deep as 3 to 4 inches (7-9 cm)
below the surface.
Young plants usually bloom for the first time in their second or third
year but will flower the first year following germination in the
greenhouse [27,32]. Production of flower buds, which will expand the
following year, takes place when sufficient nutrients are stored
[12,27]. Under closed canopies, only 18.8 percent of the plants flower,
as opposed to 97 percent in full sunlight [27]. Wild geranium is
self-compatible but depends on pollinators for seed set. The most
common pollinators are bees (honeybees, bumblebees) and syrphid flies.
Other visitors to the flowers include beetles and ants [1,27,28,37].
Seeds are produced in a dehiscent fruit and are scattered by explosive
dispersal an average of 10 feet (3 m) and a maximum of 30 feet (9 m).
There is no obvious secondary dispersal vector (i.e. not carried by
rainwash or animals) [27,32,33].
Schiffman [31] reported wild geranium seeds in the seed bank of a
chestnut oak (Quercus prinus)/scarlet oak (Q. coccinea) forest. The
seed coat is only slightly permeable, and the seed requires
stratification before germination will take place. The longer the cold
treatment, the higher the germination rate [27]. The seeds can have a
dormancy period in excess of 400 days. In a study of savanna
restoration, Bronny [8] reported that wild geranium reappeared when
cattle grazing was prevented on an oak savanna site, indicating either
its presence in the seed bank or the persistence of rhizomes in the
Growth Form (according to Raunkiær Life-form classification)
More info for the terms: geophyte, hemicryptophyte
Life Form
Life History and Behavior
The basal leaves of wild geranium emerge in early spring (around the
period of vernal canopy closure) over a period of 4 to 6 weeks,
attaining 50 percent of total growth between late April and the first
week of May [7]. The stems elongate in April, and blooms appear from
April to June, setting fruit 3 to 5 weeks later [27,29,32]. Flower buds
are formed in the year previous to flowering and are enclosed in the
winter bud. Cauline leaves senesce around October, turning red and
yellow, and are lost shortly therafter. The basal leaves die down in
October and November in the midwestern states, later in the southern
states [27].

Management considerations
Wild geranium appears to be dependent on the continued existence of
undisturbed stands of mesic, open forests. It is not usually found on
disturbed sites [4] and is not noted for rapid colonization [27]. It
appears to be sensitive to acidification of soils, and thus areas that
are experiencing acid rain are likely to become less hospitable to wild
geranium [18].
Wild geranium is easily cultivated. DeVault [13] transplanted rhizomes
of plants growing under closed forest to a fertile, full sun garden. The
plants, which had been growing poorly, responded with vigorous growth
under garden conditions.
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Economic Uses
Uses: MEDICINE/DRUG
Other uses and values
Extracts of wild geranium have been used medicinally by Native Americans
to treat diarrhea and various mouth ailments. Powdered preparations
were used to treat open sores or wounds. The rhizome contains tannic
and gallic acids, which contribute to its astringent quality. Clinical
trials have shown that tannins promote blood clotting, supporting its
use for bleeding sores or wounds [5].
Wild geranium can be cultivated as an ornamental by transplanting
rhizomes or by starting from stratified seed [13,27].
Importance to Livestock and Wildlife
maturing fruits, and Lepidopteran larvae have been observed feeding on
the flowers and fruits [1].
Geranium maculatum
- "Wood Geranium" redirects here. Not to be confused with Wood Cranesbill or Woodland Geranium, G. sylvaticum.
Geranium maculatum, the spotted geranium, wood geranium, or wild geranium is a woodland perennial plant native to eastern North America, from southern Manitoba and southwestern Quebec south to Alabama and Georgia and west to Oklahoma and South Dakota.[1][2] It is known as Spotted Cranesbill or Wild Cranesbill in Europe, but the Wood Cranesbill is another plant, the related G. sylvatium (a European native called "Woodland Geranium" in North America). Colloquial names are Alum Root, Alum Bloom and Old Maid's Nightcap.
It grows in dry to moist woods and is normally abundant when found. It is a perennial herbaceous plant growing to 60 cm tall, producing upright usually unbranched stems and flowers in spring to early summer. The leaves are palmately lobed with five or seven deeply cut lobes, 10–12.5 cm broad, with a petiole up to 30 cm long arising from the rootstock. They are deeply parted into three or five divisions, each of which is again cleft and toothed. The flowers are 2.5–4 cm diameter, with five rose-purple, pale or violet-purple (rarely white) petals and ten stamens; they appear from April to June in loose clusters of two to five at the top of the stems. The fruit capsule, which springs open when ripe, consists of five cells each containing one seed joined to a long beak-like column 2–3 cm long (resembling a crane's bill) produced from the center of the old flower. The rhizome is long, and 5 to 10 cm thick, with numerous branches. The rhizomes are covered with scars, showing the remains of stems of previous years growth. When dry it has a somewhat purplish color internally. Plants go dormant in early summer after seed is ripe and dispersed.[2][3][4]
The plant has been used in herbal medicine, and is also grown as a garden plant. Wild Geranium is considered an astringent, a substance that causes contraction of the tissues and stops bleeding. The Mesquakie Indians brewed a root tea for toothache and for painful nerves and mashed the roots for treating hemorrhoids.[5]

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � A Massachusetts woman has been seriously injured in a snowmobile crash in New Hampshire.
Officials say the 31-year-old woman from Haverill, Mass., whose name has not been released, was riding with three friends on Monday in an unapproved field in Epping when she drove up the side of a gravel pile and over a drop off. She and the machine fell about 20 feet, landing on large rocks.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department says the woman, who was wearing a helmet, suffered serious head and upper-body injuries.
Her friends called 911 and she was taken to the hospital.
The Fish and Game Department is now reminding snowmobilers to ride only on approved and signed trails.
The department says the accident is under investigation and charges are pending.

When we got home we called DuroPower,and we called and called it took forever to get a hold of anyone.We finaly got a hold of a lady named Brenda Cole. She said there was no place to work on it in Arizona. But we could ship it back to them.But they would not pay for the shipping. We priced what it would cost to ship it back, boxed it up and every thing. But we found out that it cost 460.00 dollars to ship it back to them.
So we found a place here in Safford that would work on it . Now the man that is woring on it has it apart and found one broken wire and two wires that are unpluged but he can't find where they go he needs a detailed blueprint on the wiring. He has called Brenda Cole and so have I to get them to send us a blueprint of the electeral system but she won't even return our calls.
So if he can get it running then he will look for the oil leak.Don't buy a duroPower they will not service what they they sell!!!!!!!!

Antonys 3D work is not only precise and accurate to our designs, but the quality and turnover times are second to none. He tops it off by being a nice chap who is very easy to deal with and responsive to design changes, which is important when we have very tight deadlines from high profile clients.
Antony is an artist we go back to again and again, always professional, he consistently answers any brief he's given to the highest standard. If you're looking for quality and reliability I would recommend Antony every time.
Antony brings a passion and intensity to his work not often seen in a lot of artists in the industry. He is truly a top notch artist. The most impressive skills that Ant has shown me, is his ability to follow through. He met deadlines and continued to have high quality output. You can always expect Ant to put 110% effort into whatever he's working on. I would strongly recommend Antony Ward for any professional opportunity. He will be a great asset to any company.
I had the pleasure of hiring Antony for the first time last year. He produced excellent quality work, which was both technically accurate and creative.
I have since made sure I hire Antony for regular content in 3D World magazine and his quality of work has only improved.
He has responded well to deadlines and has even jumped in to help out when other contributors have been unable to complete a task.
To top that off, he is both personable and professional. A pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with him more.
I first worked with Antony way back in the 97′ well before PS2. We were both on a secret project at Krisalis. Even then Ant was a brilliant artist and animator. Knowing this Ant joined me some years later as senior animator at EANW studio on my recommendation and didn't disappoint.
Ants a brilliant driven artist, excellent animation skills and technical skills, he proved himself invaluable to the studio. Its hard to find an Artist and animator with such technical expertise these days.
His skills are not only for himself, as a mentor Ant works brilliant with junior members of the team. Even to the point of writing books on Maya and Maya animation systems. Ant is a powerful creative asset to any studio or client.
Antony applied himself totally to build some very usual and creative rigs. With his technical expertise and calm approach, Antony has been unflappable despite the scale and refinements required for the task.
We hired Antony to create high resolution models based upon low resolution Xbox(1) models.
The quality of the finished models were perfect for us, as such I can whole heartedly recommend him to others.
I served as Antony's Acquisitions Editor for his book Game Character Development. Antony was a very reliable author who was a pleasure to work with. He adhered to his schedule, turned in high-quality material, and was a true professional throughout the manuscript process. It would be a pleasure to work with Antony again.

To earn a perfect energy star score, Geisinger Medical Center poured their efforts into a cogeneration plant, which generates 5 mW of power annually.
Photo Credit: geisinger medical center
One of a handful of recipients across the country, the Geisinger Medical Center (GMC) recently earned a perfect ENERGY STAR score.
The 100 score was significantly impacted by the addition of a turbine cogeneration plant in 2011. GMC's plant generates 5 mW of power and increased efficiency from 30 to 80% compared to coal. It boasts annual savings of $2.2 million per year and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 16,000 tons annually.
Other energy-saving measures include chilled water used for air conditioning during evening hours and variable frequency drives on power plant machinery.
"In just the last two years, we've reduced energy expenditures by $2.6 million," says Al Neuner, vice president for facilities operations, Geisinger Health Systems. "We are not only proud to be recognized for being energy conscious, but we also take pride in having an impact on lowering health care costs, which directly benefits our patients and family communities."
The efforts have also reduced energy costs despite campus expansions. Prior to the cogeneration plant, Geisinger was paying $3.01 per square foot for gas and electricity across 1.7 million square feet. After the upgrade and an increase in size, the cost dropped to $1.69 per square foot over 2.2 million square feet.
The ENERGY STAR score is based on utility data. Performance is compared against facilities of the same type and size.

That is, until their last paychecks. As usual, they signed the checks for deposit only and I moble deposited them into my account. A week later they have come back as insufficient funds. My son and his daughter went to the bank (Mountain America Credit Union) who issued the check from West Lake Pizza, Inc. /Domino's business account. Neither my son or daughter in law have an account with MACU and did not know they could take their checks into the credit union to cash them. MACU says that they refused to honor the checks because it was a two party check and would not be able to give them the funds until they were supplied proof of non payment.
Evidently the credit unions have made it a policy to not accept two party checks. Here's the problem, my bank accepted the check, we were not trying to deposit the checks into a credit union, muchless MACU. Once my bank accepted the checks it became a bank requesting the funds from the credit union.
MACU requested a copy of the returned check before they would re-issue the funds. I supplied them with a copy of the returned checks stamped NSF and instead of giving the funds over, they are saying it is a process and is going to take time. Mean while I am in the negative of almost $500 and can not pay my bills. They are saying I became responsible for the checks once I deposited them into my account because it is a two party check. How are they NOT responsible for a check they issued from a business account they have?
Beware to anyone considering using a Credit Union, especially Mountain America

The year is 1939 and the aristocratic family of Sir Alexander Keyes (Bill Nighy) and his wife Maud (Jenny Agutter) are living what seems to be an idyllic life with their children Ralph (Eddie Redmayne), Celia (Juno Temple) and the eldest, Anne (Romula Garai) who we soon discover was adopted before the Keyes discovered they could bear children on their own. Anne is a beautiful creative actress who seems to make the family proud. The family is visited by an old friend Hector (David Tennant) who at dinner is very vocal about the fact that Hitler is a threat to England and that England must stop Hitler before he destroys them instead of pursuing a course of appeasement of Hitler that would prevent disturbance of their elegant way of life on the island of Britain.Read more ›
One of Alexander's friends stops by for dinner and during a tempestuous conversation expresses his disapproval of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and his efforts to appease Hitler's Nazi regime. Anne begins to suspect a conspiracy is afoot when she finds a set of phonograph records that document conversations of men discussing state intelligence secrets. When Anne tries to share her discovery with others, they're soon found dead.
The plot is fascinating and fresh. It deals with a group of Brits convinced that England could not possibly prevail against Germany and who use every means from political influence to devious machinations to keep England out of war. This historical background blends nicely into a suspense thriller when bodies start piling up. It contains excellent performances and crisp direction by Stephen Poliakoff, who helmed many dramas for the BBC.
There are no bonus extras.
scenery, you will like it for this as well. I thought the film over all was artistically creepy and I enjoyed that very much. But it comes together well enough to make sense in the end, sort of...which is also what I liked.
Would I watch again? - Probably not
