Comprehensive Description
General: Thickspike gayfeather belongs to the sunflower or composite family (Asteraceae). Liatris pycnostachya is a tall, hardy, native perennial herbaceous species that has spectacular magenta inflorescences. Single to multiple stems arise from a solid corm that is 7 to 10 cm in diameter and supports the plants deep, fibrous root (5 to 15 common) system. The simple non-branched stems are up to 1.5 meters tall. The species narrow, dark green leaves have a light colored mid-rib and are alternately arranged on the stem. The numerous basal leaves are the longest and they gradually shorten in length farther up the stem. Both stems and leaves normally display short, stiff hairs. The inflorescence is a long spike of sessile cylindrical heads 8 to 11 mm tall. The flower heads have 5 to 7 individual rose-purple flowers, each with 5 long, slender, pointed petals or bracts which tend to spread and curve back toward their bases. Bracts of this species may have a purplish tinge. The flowers are given a somewhat fuzzy appearance by extended white stamens (male flower parts) and pistils (female flower parts). The spike itself may be up to 60 cm of the stem length. The flowers bloom from the top down so flowering covers an extended period of time. The flowers are cross pollinated with bumble bees and native pollinators doing most of the work. The fruit of thickspike gayfeather is a narrow, brownish, 10 ribbed achene that is 5 to 6 mm long, with tufts of bristles longer than the achene attached to its upper end. The seed heads should be harvested in the fall after they appear dry and fluffy, but before they are blown away by the wind. There are 333,000 achenes per kg of seed or about 131,000 seed units per pound of thickspike gayfeather.
Distribution: For current distribution, please consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site. This plant ranges from Kentucky to Minnesota and eastern North Dakota south from there to Louisiana and eastern Texas. It grows naturally in the eastern 1/3 of Kansas.
Habitat: Thickspike gayfeather grows best in low, moist, tallgrass prairies that are dominated by big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii). It may grow near the base of slopes since it requires more water than many of the other members of the genus Liatris. Art (1991) reported that gayfeather grew best on moist, well drained, and slightly acidic to neutral (pH 5.5 to 7.0) soils. Weaver and Fitzpatrick (1934) found it on 56 percent of low prairies and only 25 percent of upland prairies that they studied.
Alternative names
Tall gayfeather, prairie gayfeather, blazing star, prairie blazing star, and hairy button snakeroot, Kansas gayfeather
Range and Habitat in Illinois
National Distribution
United States
Origin: Native
Regularity: Regularly occurring
Currently: Present
Confidence: Confident
Weaver (1954) indicated that Liatris pycnostachya was characteristic of areas supporting big bluestem and was rarely found in much drier or much wetter grassland areas. This species of Liatris is probably the least drought tolerant and may need to be supplemented with irrigation to bloom vigorously in very dry weather.
Physical Description
Diagnostic Description
Range and Habitat in Illinois
Thickspike gayfeather is established in field and prairie restoration projects easiest from seed. A firm, clean, weed free seedbed should be prepared by disking, harrowing, and cultipacking the planting site. Chemical weed control can be used to reduce competition and limit the competition from perennial weed species. Seedbed should be firm enough to allow planting of the seed units at a depth of 6 mm. A drill equipped with a legume seed box and depth bands would allow for good depth placement of the seed unit and good seed to soil contact. A seeding rate of 30 Pure Live Seed (PLS) units per 30 cm of row should provide a consistent full stand. To plant a prairie restoration or diverse wildlife planting a seeding rate of 65 gm PLS per ha incorporated into the seeding mixture would be acceptable. Application of fertilizer the year of establishment is discouraged unless phosphorous and potassium are at extremely low levels on your soil test for the planting site. Absolutely no nitrogen fertilizer should be applied the first year to discourage weed competition from annual weed species.

Pests and potential problems
Rabbit protection might be required for gayfeather seedlings and newly developing shoots in the spring. Thickspike gayfeather stems tend to lodge in a monoculture situation. In a natural prairie setting other grass and forb plants tend to support the stems and keep them upright.
Cultivars, improved and selected materials (and area of origin)
Contact your local Natural Resources Conservation Service office for more information. Look in the phone book under "United States Government." The Natural Resources Conservation Service will be listed under the subheading "Department of Agriculture."
'Eureka' thickspike gayfeather is a cooperative cultivar release by the USDA-NRCS Manhattan Plant Materials Center (PMC) and the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station in 1975. The original collections of Eureka were made in November 1970 in Greenwood County, Kansas. Plant height, vigor and stand of Eureka were consistently superior to the collections of materials it was tested against. Eureka is adapted to the eastern 1/3 of Kansas, western Missouri, southeastern Nebraska, northeastern Oklahoma, and southwestern Iowa. This species is used in range reseeding mixtures, roadside and park beautification and wildlife habitat enhancement. Foundation class seed is available from USDA, NRCS PMC at Manhattan, Kansas.
Central Iowa Germplasm and Northern Iowa Germplasm are source identified releases made in 1999 by the Elsberry PMC in cooperation with Iowa Department of Transportation, University of Northern Iowa, Iowa Crop Improvement Association, and the Native Roadside Vegetation Center in Cedar Falls, IA. In 2001, the Elsberry PMC released the additional source identified lines Southern Iowa Germplasm with all the same cooperators and Northern Missouri Germplasm and Western Missouri Germplasm in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Conservation and the Missouri Audubon Society of Jefferson City, Missouri. G1 class seed is being produced in limited quantities by the USDA, NRCS PMC at Elsberry, Missouri.
Seed production
Thickspike gayfeather can be propagated by seed or division of its corm. Art (1991) divided the corm vertically into pieces which each contained at least one bud. Plant the divided corm vertically with 30 to 60 cm spacing between individuals and the bud 5 cm below the soils surface. Seed propagation is easier than vegetative although the seed units require stratification. Seed germination will improve with aging of the seed for at least three years beyond the harvest date. Hesse (1973) obtained the best germination (up to 85%) with gayfeather seed units after 15 weeks of cold, moist stratification treatment.
Stratified seed can be planted in the early spring or summer and non-stratified seed can be planted in the fall (Platt and Harder 1991). Seedlings can be started in greenhouses from stratified seed to produce transplants. Seed units planted 6 mm deep in flats can be transplanted out doors in 8 to 12 weeks. Some nurseries plant seed in June to have corms to transplant in a dormant state the following spring. Seed fields can be harvested by direct combining and seed processed using a scalper and fanning mills. The seed units (achenes) are run through a hammer mill to remove the tuft of bristles. Manhattan Plant Materials Center (PMC) production records indicate that a purity of 97 to 99 percent is normal with a germination percentage of 29 to 71 and dormancy number of between 3 and 22 percent depending on the year. An eight year average of seed production yield indicates that 73 kg per ha was produced at Manhattan, Kansas.
Environmental concerns
Thickspike gayfeather does not spread vegetatively and seedlings are easy to control and maintain.
Mowing can be used to reduce weed competition in newly established fields as long as mower height is kept above seedling height. Cultivation and herbicides can be used if gayfeather is planted in rows for seed production. Dead plant residue can be burned if done prior to plant growth in the spring. A non-selective herbicide (i.e. Roundup) can be used in the spring to remove early cool season species before plant regrowth begins.
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Cattle graze thickspike gayfeather and it is considered a decreaser in pastures under heavy grazing pressure (Menhusen 1973). Thickspike is a particularly beautiful member of the genus Liatris with its height and large sized flowering spike. These flowering spikes make long lasting cut flowers since the heads will proceed to open just as if they were still on the plant. If the spike is air dried rapidly in the dark the flowering spike will retain much of its color and can be used in attractive dry plant arrangements.
Kindscher (1992) indicated that the corm of thickspike was used by Native Americans and others to treat gonorrhea. Art (1991) indicated that it could be used to treat kidney diseases. Birds use the seed for food and rodents eat the corms. Thickspike gayfeather can be used for roadside and park beautification, prairie restoration, wildlife cover and food, landscaping, and to increase plant diversity in natural and man made prairie communities.

Students from Midway Elementary School in Mead are rallying around their beloved teacher after Marcy Wetzel and her husband Chris were struck by a falling tree at Diamond Lake during last week's violent storm.
From elementary school to college there's at least one teacher who can't be forgotten. For the second graders at Midway Elementary that teacher is Marcy Wetzel. So when her students found out she had been injured, they joined together to help raise money to pay for her medical bills by opening up a lemonade stand.
"She got hurt in the big storm and she's in hospital right now so my mom thought we would do a big lemonade stand," Kennedy Comstock said.
"Marcy is this little firecracker of a person who has an incredible spirit, incredible personality, is extremely funny and always makes her presence known in a fabulous way," Debbie Comstock said.
Marcy and her husband Chris were securing their boat at Diamond Lake when last weeks storm tore through the Inland Northwest. A tree fell on the couple; Chris broke his neck while Marcy suffered a severe concussion, a torn spleen, and a broken arm, heel, ribs and finger.
"Just being able to support both of them and their five kids right now is really important to us," Debbie said.
Chris is now home while his wife March remains in the hospital. Together the couple has a long road to recovery.
"Every day she is making more and more progress, She is a true fighter and there is a huge community supporting her and we know she is going to bounce back," Debbie said.
On Friday students past and present are repaying their teacher with the same love and support she has shown them over the years.
"She loves kids, she's probably had nearly 400 kids go through her classroom in her time at Midway and they all adore her," Debbie said.
As money and cards poured in from passersby friends, family and total strangers are all thinking the same thing.
"I hope all this money we make will get her out of the hospital," Kennedy said.

VIDEO: Blue Hens' thoughts on playing in Newark (PICTURE: Blue Hens and fans react on Selection Monday)It's one quirk to the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament which doesn't truly exist in the Men's version: True home games.
The University of Delaware will get to enjoy that luxury however when they host No. 11 West Virginia Sunday at 12:15 at the Bob Carpenter Center.
But how much of an advantage is it truly for Delaware?
While every situation is different, 11 of the 16 sub-regionals in the 2012 tournament included a home team, including Delaware having to face UALR on their home court despite the Blue Hens being a 3 seed. Delaware took care of business 73-42 to win their first ever NCAA Tournament crowd despite playing in front of a somewhat hostile crowd (there was plenty of Blue and Gold to be found in the stands to be honest).
UALR was one of just two hosts to lose in that opening round, with the other being fellow double-digit seed Iowa State who lost to Wisconsin-Green Bay in a 10 vs. 7 matchup. One double digit seed, Gonzaga, used their court as a 11 seed to upset No. 6 Rutgers.
The numbers get a little bleaker if Delaware makes it to a second round matchup with No. 3 North Carolina, assuming both teams win, which is hardly a given. The only team with the same No. 6 seed that Delaware has this year was Oklahoma, which lost to No. 3 St. John's.
No. 5 LSU lost to No. 4 Penn State, while 7 seeds DePaul and Vanderbilt lost to No. 2 Tennessee and Duke respectively. The only home team to upset their way to the Sweet 16? Gonzaga, who actually pulled the same trick off in 2011 (and will get another chance to do it this year).
The perks of playing at home are simple, you don't have to worry about travel, time changes, logistics, an unusual court, or fans rooting against you.
Will it be enough to help push Delaware through a difficult Newark pod? Time will tell, but they will certainly have to win it on the court.

Motorcycle Card for Dad
May 22, 2015 by Joann Jamieson
Filed under Cards & Tags, Core Blog, Core Projects, Gifts & Party
Hi Core Fans! It's Joann here with you today. With Father's Day fast approaching I wanted to create a Father's Day card for the motorcycle enthusiast or biker in your life!
Motorcycle Card Supplies:
- Core Essentials Neutrals
- Core Essentials Darks
- Core Kraft-Core Metallic Collection Metallic Silver GX-1960-05
- Core Basics – Black 80lb. Cardstock Canvas Texture
- Sand It Gadget & Dust Buddy
- Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Simplicity
- Spellbinders 5 x 7 Reflective Moment
- Hero Arts Father's Day Message
- Motorcycle Shaped Cut File By Bird's Cards
- Silhouette Cameo
To make this project follow these steps:
Step 1. Start by cutting the pieces for the Motorcycle using the Core Essentials Darks, Neutrals and Metallic Silver for the chrome. Next using a piece of Dark Grey from the Neutrals collection, emboss for a background that will be featured behind the Motorcycle.
Step 2. Sand your paper and for a different look, tear by hand, around the embossing.
Tip: Don't forget to use your dust buddy to cleanup after your sanding. This will not only make things cleaner and easier to work with but your adhesive will also stick better!
Step 3. Finish by cutting a card out of Black cardstock, distress the edges and attach your embossed panel and the motorcycle. Finish by adding a sentiment and decorate as desired.
Thanks for stopping by for a peek… Have a wonderful day my crafty friends!
Garden on Wheels

Hi Core Fans! It's Joann here and today I want to show you an interesting project. I have had this cut file for quite some time now just waiting for the right time to use it and decided today was the day! I wanted to showcase Kraft-Core Metallic Collection. I love how the Bronze Metallic Kraft-Core paper just made this project pop!
Garden on Wheels Supplies:
- Core Kraft-Core Shattered Collection
- Core Essentials Darks
- Core Kraft-Core Metallic Collection Bronze Metallic GX-1960-06
- Core Basics – Black 80lb. Cardstock Canvas Texture
- Sand It Gadget & Dust Buddy
- Garden On Wheels SVG File From Pepitos Room
- Silhouette Cameo
To make this project follow these steps:
Step 1. Start by cutting the pieces for the body of the project out of Core Basics Black. For the frame I only show 1 piece but I actually cut it 3 times for strength.
Step 2. Cut your wheels and fenders out of the Metallic collection. I used the Bronze for my project.
Step 3. Glue the 2 pieces of the fender together and for the wheels I cut off the outer rim so that the centers of the wheels have the metallic paper with the black edge for the tire.
Step 4. The flower pot was cut using the Kraft Core Shattered Collection. It was the perfect addition to the project.
Step 5. Finish by assembling your project and decorate as desired.
Thanks for stopping by for a peek… Have a wonderful day my crafty friends!
Dust Buddy & Sand It Gadget Combo Pack
This is probably one of my most favorite releases for us this CHA.
If you know me, you know how much I love my Sandit Gadget and Dust Buddy. If you use Core, you must get this! It's a combo back that includes a Dust Buddy and Sand It Gadet and refill sand paper! Everyone needs one of these so make sure you tell your retailer to stock these for you.
Want proof of how much you will use yours? Here is a photo of my Dust Buddy from scrapping this weekend. I made two layouts with our BRAND NEW Darks collection pack (see yesterday's post if you missed it) and this is what my Dust Buddy looked like when I was done. It definitely works and it picked up other dust and debris that makes its way onto you projects. Your projects (and hands) will be much cleaner when you use this.

A 17-year-old boy was shot last night at 1124 Hamilton St. near North Hawley Street in central Toledo, and another juvenile taken into custody a short time later was expected to be charged with felonious assault, police said.
The victim, whose name was being withheld, was taken to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. His condition was not available late last night.
The gunman, whose name also was being withheld, was being questioned by police and then was to be charged, Sgt. Bill Wauford said.
The shooting occurred about 7:10 p.m. in the house, where the gunman was arrested. The victim was found in the kitchen with gunshot wounds caused by a single bullet, which went through his arm, abdomen, and through his other arm, Sergeant Wauford said.

 The community of Rivne, Ukraine would like to insulate three orphanages in the region. The current conditions in the orphanages are unbearable in the winter due to cold temperatures and drafts caused by inadequate insulation. The rooms are so cold that the children must wear jackets indoors. In addition, there is inadequate circulation, which results in poor air quality. The insulations will benefit over 500 orphans between the ages of 2 to 17 and the 150 staff members who serve them. Ecoclub, a member of the International Energy Brigades, which helps to insulate the housing of low-income families, orphans, children with disabilities and the elderly, will coordinate the insulations. In addition to practical work, the process includes a campaign to raise public awareness about energy efficiency in households, the environment and the communities' role in the development of a civil society. The community will provide labor and transportation to help complete this project. Your contribution will help this community in providing adequate housing for these orphans.

Nintendo Game & Watch Mickey Mouse Panorama
This is one of the rarest models of Game & Watch around. There were two different Game & Watch models produced under the name "Mickey Mouse" - the first of which was a Wide Screen model game later released in the US as "Egg", and the second of which is the Panorama model pictured above. For those who aren't in the know, Panorama model Game & Watch units used a mirror system (much like old standup cabinets) to reflect its full color LCD screen.
Other Auctions (this one's a real good lineup)
McDonalds playland gaming system Nintendo 64Â - A bunch of working N64 kiosks that were apparently used in a McDonalds Playland. Most of them are complete, TVs and all. Six in total. Note the unusual controllers

Final Fantasy XIII Music Box Kimi Ga Iru Kara - Apparently, Square Enix is still making small runs of music boxes even for their modern titles! This one plays "Kimi Ga Iru Kara" (Because You Are Here) from FFXIII
Nintendo 64 N64 Fiberoptic Display Sign - Nintendo's love affair with fiber-optic display signs continues. The animation on this N64 one is particularly amazing
GTA IV Statue of Happiness Plaster Model - A promotional model of the bizarre, Hillary Clinton-faced Statue of Happiness from Grand Theft Auto IV
APPLE BANDAI PIPPIN ATMARK @ WORLD JAPANESE ENGLISH KEYBOARD TOUCH PAD - A bizarre addon for the Apple Bandai Pippin... a combination keyboard-touch screen device (uses a wired stylus like a Sega Pico)

There is a spike in crime as police are hitting one north St. Louis neighborhood hard. St. Louis Metro Police have started what they call "Hot Spot" policing in the Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood. The area has seen a bump in homicides. Five people have been killed there since April. Chief Sam Dotson says they're adding more officers in uniform, and in plain clothes, and they're driving more marked and un-marked vehicles through the neighborhood. The latest effort started Wednesday morning. Last month's hot spot was the 'Tower Grove South' neighborhood. Chief Dotson says he thinks the 'hot spot' policing is a model that works.

Ecuador produced 506,400 barrels per day (bpd) of crude in September, down 1.1 percent from the same month last year, the Central Bank said.
Production still grew at an annual rate of 2.3 percent, the Central Bank said.
Output at state-owned Petroecuador and Petroamazonas, along with production at Operadora Rio Napo, totaled 370,600 bpd in September.
Operadora Rio Napo, a joint venture between Petroecuador and Venezuelan state-owned oil giant PDVSA, operates the Sacha field.
Privately owned oil companies produced 135,800 bpd.
Ecuador, the smallest member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, exported 11.4 million barrels of crude in September, a figure that was up by about 158,000 barrels from the August level.
The Andean country produced 6.1 million barrels of petroleum derivatives at its three refineries in September and imported 3.7 million barrels of petroleum derivatives, the Central Bank said. EFE

It has been the talk of theatreland for weeks — first there were doubts about Kevin Spacey's decision to cast Richard Dreyfuss in his latest production at the Old Vic, then the first night was delayed for a week for further "development" amid talk that Dreyfuss could not learn his lines.
And then came word that the Oscar-winning American actor would be wearing an earphone so that he could be prompted electronically should his famously unreliable memory let him down in front of the audience.
And sure enough, as Dreyfuss, 61, walked on stage last

Image doesn't seem to be opening.
As for your first question, yes you are correct. If there are more unknowns than equations in a homogeneous system, then there will be infinitely many solutions.
However, we don't know what happens for the other cases. The statement doesn't mention anything about them. For example, you can have systems of equations with the number of equations and unknowns equal to each other and have infinitely, none, or exactly one solution. We don't know until we actually solve it.

New Art Prize Exhibit At The GRAM Opens!
ArtPrize 2012 might be in the rear view mirror, but the memories still last! And a new exhibit called "ArtPrize 2012: Encore!" is now open at the Grand Rapids Art Museum until the start of ArtPrize 2013!
ArtPrize 2012 might be in the rear view mirror, but the memories still last! And a new exhibit called "ArtPrize 2012: Encore!" is now open at the Grand Rapids Art Museum until the start of ArtPrize 2013!
This weekend is our last chance to enjoy ArtPrize 2012.
The winners, from the jury and the people's vote, will be popular destinations. But there are many other options and ways to experience ArtPrize 2012 one last time.
Take a look at some of the highlights of the final weekend of ArtPrize 2012.
The winner of ArtPrize 2012 will be announced on Friday, October 5.
You have until Thursday, October 4, at 11:59pm to vote for your favorite from the Top 10. Choosing just one favorite can be difficult, but there is still time to debate and discuss between now and the deadline.
Which are your favorites? And which are your least favorites?
Friday night one of the most spectacular projects in the history or Artprize lit up Downtown Grand Rapids. "Lights in the Night" were thousands of Chinese lanterns lit and released into the sky Friday night during the second weekend of Artprize.
September 28 to September 30 will be the biggest and busiest weekend of ArtPrize.
There will be a rush of people trying to get one last look at entries before first round voting ends at 11:59pm on Saturday, September 29. Then we'll have a rush of people to see the Top 10 after it is announced on Sunday.
It's going to be busy and it's going to be fun! Let's look at the highlights of the second weekend of ArtPrize 2012.
Just a few nights ago, Faith and I walked around ArtPrize and saw some amazing art.
But the one piece that is *still* my favorite is one I've been seeing since before ArtPrize began last week...
I'm not an artist, but I love ArtPrize. I am repeatedly amazed at the paintings and sculptures we see and I could only imagine how one would physically create one of these pieces...until now.
Check out a these time lapse videos which show some ArtPrize 2012 entries being created.
So I wandered around Downtown a bit yesterday during Artprize. Most people posting on the internets during the world's biggest art competition have pictures of art, or pictures of themselves along with the art, or pictures of themselves with the art drunk. Me, on the other hand, offer these pictures.
The first weekend of ArtPrize can be one of the most fun. There are 1,517 entries and the "short list"/top 25s have not been announced, making it too early to name any favorites.
There is so much to see and do and so much art to be discovered. Let's take a look at some of the highlights of the first weekend of ArtPrize 2012.
Bringing the kids downtown to ArtPrize for the day can be a lot fun, but you have to be prepared. Whether you are working around naps, school schedules, or any kind of busy schedule, time is limited.
Check out our ArtPrize Kids Guide and maximize your time downtown with the kids.
Getting out to see art and vote on your favorite pieces is what makes ArtPrize so much fun.
ArtPrize's rules and award categories continue to change year-to-year, but it's the people's vote that makes the contest what it is.
Visiting ArtPrize is fun, but the crowds and traffic can be a lot to deal with. Knowing where to go and how to get around town can help maximize the time you spend downtown at ArtPrize.
View our guide to parking and transportation and make the most of ArtPrize 2012.

'The X Factor' Recap: The Top 13 Underwhelm
Diamond White Sang "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston
LA Reid Said: When you went to the modulation, you brought it home.
Britney Said: Whitney would have been very proud.
Demi Said: That just tugged at my heart.
Simon Said: This proves dreams can come true.
The Verdict:
It's sad that Diamond was brought back only to bomb in such spectacular fashion. She just doesn't have the chops to take on Whitney Houston. Especially not her most emotionally charged song.
It wasn't terrible. It was just competent with hints of awful. Those bad notes really stuck out when they were floating atop of a sea of boring and mundane.
She's just a girl singing a woman's song, and it certainly felt that way the entire time.
Grade: D+
Prediction: She's so likable that I can't see her being cast out right after coming back on the show.
Leopard Face Sang "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor
LA Reid Said: The sum was less than its parts.
Britney Said: I thought you were a little rebel out there.
Demi Said: You've transformed into someone that you know that you want to be.
Simon Said: Anything recognizable about you from the beginning has just been thrown away, and this song choice was just horrible.
The Verdict:
Leopard Face certainly brings it in terms of her performance. I don't think anybody in this competition commands the stage like her. She has so much confidence and poise out there. She was just meant to own it on a show like this.
Her vocals, however, are a mess once again. I don't know why Demi continues to give her these rock songs with arrangements that play so fast and take away from LF's ability to really belt. She's just lost for 90% of the track and then shows a brief flourish every so often.
LF needs a soul song or a ballad like on her save-me song last week to show off her vocal range. Of course, that means she won't be able to command the stage like she does so well.
The solution? "The Warrior" by the other Patty Smith. Let's just hope she's around to do that.
Grade: C-
Prediction: The unlikable Leopard Face just met her doom, I fear.
Carly Rose Sang "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars
LA Reid Said: That was really heartfelt. It was honest. I loved it.
Britney Said: I feel like you should have closed the show because nobody can follow that.
Demi Said: This is you in your element. I would watch this over and over again.
Simon Said: It's such a huge improvement. You would have a hit with a song like that.
The Verdict:
This little girl just creeps me out, and the long dress from the scary forest isn't helping matters at all.
I didn't even really hear her vocals, I was worried all the furniture in my apartment was going to start floating amidst her demon spell.
What I did hear, was decidedly just okay. Like a little girl singing. Because, again, that's all these kiddie competitors are.
Grade: C-
Jason Brock Sang "I Believe I Can Fly" by R. Kelly
LA Reid Said: I think you did an excellent job.
Britney Said: It's way better, but it still feels like a Vegas lounge act.
Demi Said: I feel like LA hasn't guided you in a way you are as an artist. It's very predictable and cabaret.
Simon Said: I like you, but I don't believe you could fly. You look like a singer in an Italian restaurant who's working there and just decided to sing "I Believe I Can Fly".
The Verdict:
Jason is doing himself no favors with his wardrobe choices. After last week, he should have been trying to shed the lounge singer reputation and tonight he comes out dressed like Tony Clifton. Not exactly, the best way to buck that stigma.
His other big problem is just his overall performance. He's just so wooden up there. Like his suit is too tight and he doesn't have a full range of motion. Nothing looks natural for him when he's on stage, which is weird for somebody who seems so comfortable in his own skin.
With all that going on, it was hard to judge the vocal. It seemed like everything was where it should be from a singing standpoint, but coming out of Donnie Vegas with a girdle on, it just doesn't work.
Grade: D
Prediction: He's likeable for sure, but he got ripped by the judges way worse than anybody else. I think that could be it for him.
The Artists Formerly Known as 1432 Sang "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri
LA Reid Said: I was impressed with your singing.
Britney Said: I was really impressed.
Demi Said: I'm so excited to see what you do next week.
Simon Said: I think there's something incredibly exciting about your potential.
The Verdict:
Here's their formula:
Sit on stools and sap all the energy off the stage.
Start with a god-awful solo sung by somebody who sounded like she was auditioning to be the female Bugs Bunny.
Sing a terrible harmony.
Have a second solo by a much stronger singer who clearly should have led off the song.
Go back to your terrible harmony.
Have somebody belt like a singer who's trying to pull focus at an audition.
And end with bugs bunny girl.
Not exactly what I'd call a winning formula.
Grade: D
Final Thoughts:
With no real standout on either end of the spectrum, it's a bit wide open.
Other than Emblem3, the certainly safe are probably Arin, Tate and Carly Rose. The praise was just too glowing from the judges and they did well enough by themselves to get through.
Then it becomes muddy with a whole lot of dreck mixed in with a lot of boring and forgettable. How is one to decide?
I think it's going to come down to my two favorites: Jason and Leopard Face. Jason because the judges hate him and Leopard Face because America hates her.
In the end, I think the judges will have their way and Jason will go down.
That's a very tenuous prediction, though. This is really anybody's night to lose.

NiSource Inc (NI): Today's Featured Utilities Laggard
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model
NiSource ( NI) pushed the Utilities sector lower today making it today's featured Utilities laggard. The sector as a whole closed the day up 0.8%. By the end of trading, NiSource fell $0.42 (-1.4%) to $30.73 on heavy volume. Throughout the day, 3,015,217 shares of NiSource exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 1,999,000 shares. The stock ranged in price between $30.48-$30.97 after having opened the day at $30.85 as compared to the previous trading day's close of $31.15. Other companies within the Utilities sector that declined today were: RGC Resources ( RGCO), down 2.2%, Fuelcell Energy ( FCEL), down 1.9%, GreenHunter Energy ( GRH), down 1.7% and Korea Electric Power ( KEP), down 1.6%.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protege, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
NiSource Inc., an energy holding company, through its subsidiaries, provides natural gas, electricity, and other products and services. It operates in three segments: Gas Distribution Operations, Gas Transmission and Storage Operations, and Electric Operations. NiSource has a market cap of $9.7 billion and is part of the utilities industry. The company has a P/E ratio of 22.8, above the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. Shares are up 23.8% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday.
TheStreet Ratings rates NiSource as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, good cash flow from operations and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated.
- You can view the full NiSource Ratings Report .
On the positive front, Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora No ( EDN), down 8.8%, American DG Energy ( ADGE), down 7.6%, Cadiz ( CDZI), down 5.2% and TransAlta Corporation ( TAC), down 5.0% , were all gainers within the utilities sector with AES ( AES) being today's featured utilities sector leader.

- Or find some new ideas from our top rated stocks lists .
For investors not wanting singular stock exposure, ETFs may be of interest. Investors who are bullish on the utilities sector could consider Utilities Select Sector SPDR ( XLU) while those bearish on the utilities sector could consider ProShares UltraShort Utilities ( SDP).

Everyone here is gonna hate me for this but I like the idea, think that's a pretty nasty starting line-up and feel like the backups for the starters perfectly have strengths where starters have weaknesses. If I could send Curry and Walker I'd strongly consider it, however not a first option of course it depends what else might be an option, clearly rather trade for Carmelo but can't really say much because I don't know what it takes to get each deal done, how much chance we have on either, etc, but assuming we couldn't make anything happen at all except walker and curry for crawford then I'd like it

Martha Stewart visits Haiti
Martha with metal worker Serge Jolimeau
The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund is dedicated to rebuilding the lives and livelihoods of Haitians through innovative activities. Our recent grant of $1.1 million to three great organizations hits on several of the key areas where such activity is needed: jump-starting an expanding small and growing businesses, supporting the transition from an underground economy to a formal one, and supporting job creation.
One of the organizations that received our grant is HAND/EYE Fund. The HAND/EYE Fund, created in 2010, is going to use its $535,876 grant to help connect artisan groups to US markets, and support skilled artisans through grants to artisan cooperatives. In Haiti, HAND/EYE is connecting artists to global markets, further invigorating the Haitian artisan sector.
HAND/EYE is working to create the Artisan Business Network to provide artisan groups with product development and communication tools. The Network will help the artisans effectively and efficiently design and export their work, and employ additional artisans as business with Haiti expands. The newly formed Network is expected to help generate and facilitate new orders with other retailers, most notably Anthropologie.
Martha, with designer Rachel Roy (left), met with artisans from across the country.
In July, Martha Stewart and fashion designer Rachel Roy joined Macy's CEO Terry Lundgren in visiting several artisan communities. HAND/EYE is working with Macy's on an order for the fall.
"Our relationships in Haiti demonstrate how retail can change the world," explains Lundgren. "With a little planning and a little effort, we can open up opportunities for people largely excluded from global commerce. The resulting income has a profound impact for artisan families and a ripple effect in their communities."
If we are to continue successfully reconstructing Haiti and building a sustainable future for the country, we need private-sector-driven growth that happens from within. This fundamental belief is what drove our investment in HAND/EYE, which at its very core is about putting Haitians back to work. We look forward to continuing to make smart investments that create an environment for vibrant, sustainable economic growth.

boy oh boy, do we have a beautiful DIY for you! our favorite minnesota florist, emily, from prairie fair is giving us so much inspiration we are running to the flower shop to do this DIY and impress our family and friends with our creation. this romantic wreath not only has a beautiful place in your home, it can easily be incorporated into many parts of your wedding day!
we love emily and we love this DIY! enjoy! and we'd sure love to see your recreations!
hello my lovely anw readers! when last we spoke it was of peony-filled dreams and preparing for your first consultation with your florist to be. since then the muscari and lilies of the valley have bloomed and faded, and even here in unpredictable minnesota, we've spent many a night with the windows open and a soft breeze cooling us to sleep. there is a hopefulness in the air that gives me a renewed push to live in a way that brings me fulfillment and joy. from popping on a sunhat, to digging around in potted herbs, to rearranging the furniture, to making and hanging a beautiful new wreath, it's the simple soul soothing pleasures that make up the sweetness in life. it always is.
i met with my wonderful twin cities based photographer friend eric lundgren a couple of weeks ago, who beautifully documented the creation of my new wreath so that i could share it with you. while i hung mine on my front door, this wreath would be a lovely addition to the entrance of a reception venue, the bridal couples' chairs, or as a focal point at the ceremony. it's so simple to make and can be altered to fit any mood or theme. plus, a wreath is the perfect decor element to take from your wedding and incorporate into your home.
for my wreath i chose to use romantic stems that would dry nicely and therefore could be enjoyed throughout the whole warm season. you can simply discard the plant material once tall comes a-knocking and keep the metal form for your next DIY.
here's how to make a beautiful wreath of your very own.
12 inch metal wreath form
26 gauge floral wire
wire cutter
floral clippers or shears
olive branches
spray roses
1. clip your olive branches down into uniform lengths. (my cut pieces are about 7 inches long.) gather 5-6 of your 7 inch olive branches to form a bundle, and secure the bundle by wrapping the ends together with your wire. repeat this until you have enough bundles to cover your metal wreath form.
2. begin to attach your olive branch bundles to your wreath form by laying your first bundle on top of the form and securing it with wire. continue to layer on your bundles and wrap them with wire until you've covered the entire wreath. note that you do not need to cut your wire as you go. just keep layering and wrapping.
3. now of for the fun part. take your leucodendron, spray roses, and leptospermum (or whatever other flora catches your fancy) and add them to your wreath.
there's no need to wrap the stems with wire; you'll find that you can secure them into your branches and form just by wiggling and tucking. there's no right way to do this part. uniform, asymmetrical, minimal, lush, the sky's the limit!
4. hang and enjoy. i've displayed my wreath on my front door with a simple over the door wreath hanger. there's no need for ribbon as you can hook the metal wreath form right onto the hanger, but that doesn't mean that a ribbon wouldn't look smashing too!
here's to the sweetness in life and the simple things that make it so!

Semi Final - Sushil defeated Uzbekistan's Akzhurek Tanatarov by 3-1.
There was some doughts whether Sushil has bite Uzbek's ear in semis. It was bleeding. The TV angle was not clear. But some in twitter say the Uzbek's ear bleeded due to friction with mat and Sushil has not bited his ear. No official complaints so far by Uzbekistan. We sincerely hope that there is no controversy on the bleeding of Uzbek's ear
Note: Pre-Quarter to Final - all the matches will be held today itself. Sushil Kumar Pehelwan needs to win 4 knockout Kusti matches each today to get Gold Medal.
There is high expectation that Bailwan Sushil will win Gold today. He was the Flag Bearer for India at the Opening Ceremony.

running scripts on godaddy acount...
Trying to run python and cgi scripts on a non-dedicated godaddy account. (ie, I dont have shell access). But my ftp program can transmit 'raw' commands to the server. I uploaded a cgi script called "pythontest.cgi" (all this in the context of trying to install moinmoin on my godaddy account). I got the pythontest.cgi script from the moinmoin instructions on installing it. I do have python, supposedly, on my account (its in usr/bin/python). I'm supposed to be able to run CGI scripts from the cgi folder (which is where it is now). I uploaded it in ASCII (as opposed to binary) as they told me to. Godaddy support hasnt been very useful beyond this point. My question is: how in the world do I execute "pythontest.cgi"? I tried putting it in the address bar as a url (with full path) in mozilla. Got an internal server error. Any ideas? Has anyone run scripts off a godaddy account? Has anyone installed a wiki on a non-dedicated godaddy account? Thanks...
