Excerpts From The Text And Photographs of Drylands: The Deserts of North America by Philip Hyde, Part Three
Continued from the blog post, "Drylands: The Deserts Of North America 2."
Drylands: The Deserts of North America with photographs and text by Philip Hyde, developed out of nearly 60 years of exploring and defending western North American wilderness, with special emphasis on the five deserts of the continent. Yolla Bolly Press, which also packaged Mountain Light by Galen Rowell and other foundational landscape photography titles, recently donated its archive to Stanford University, where Drylands and its production can be viewed. Drylands is now out of print, but can be found at various online booksellers including Amazon under "Drylands: The Deserts of North America by Philip Hyde," or "Drylands Philip Hyde."
The previous blog article in this series, "Drylands: The Deserts Of North America 2," tells the story of the making of the book. The first blog post, "Drylands: The Deserts Of North America 1," contained the beginning of the first chapter of the text of Drylands itself. We continue now where that blog post left off…
Passing through vast expanses of land that appear to be nearly bereft of any living thing, I wonder at the sight of a small plant braving the harsh environment. Its difficult circumstances do not evoke sympathy; I wonder that the plant grows in spite of difficulties, that it conserves what little moisture it gets and responds to the slightest moisture by blooming exuberantly.
Still another delight feeds the photographer within: the light. Desert light is crystalline and brilliant, making deep shadows and sparkling highlights. This is at least partly a result of the scarcity of moisture in the air—and, until recently, the scarcity of humans and their activities. When there were fewer people, the light everywhere must have had the clear quality that is still to be seen in some of the more remote quarters of the North American deserts.
As a mountain lover, I especially appreciate a characteristic that our deserts share with most of the country from the Rockies west: the deserts of North America are uncommonly mountainous. The two snowiest mountain chains in the country, the Sierra Nevada and the Cascades border the northernmost deserts on the windward sides. Scattered throughout all of the deserts are a large number of lesser mountain ranges that cast their own rain shadows on the adjacent areas. Some of these lesser ranges are high enough and wet enough to support forests on their upper slopes. Rising high above the parched plains and valleys below, they may be snow capped in winter, like the higher ones to the west. The White Mountains, Toiyabe, Snake, Ruby, and other ranges in Nevada, along with the high plateaus of Utah and Arizona and the Sierra Madre in Mexico, create their own microclimates: islands of plenty surrounded by desert.
Nowhere in the world is there as much diversity of desert weather as there is in western North America. In western Oregon, California, and Nevada precipitation occurs mostly in winter, in summer only rarely. In the eastern and southern parts of the Mexican deserts, summer is the rainy season. Where rainfall records are available for desert locations, they show radical irregularity. Downpours may occur at random intervals and locations, sometimes exceeding the year's average in a few minutes or hours. In some places droughts can last several years, with no rainfall at all. The North American deserts are second to none for intensity of summer heat, but the dryness of the air makes the heat more bearable. Death Valley can be as hot on a summer day as any place on earth, while at higher elevations a sweater may be necessary when the sun sets and the air cools.
The great diversity of the vast desert landscape of North America suggests natural divisions that coincide with most scientific classifications. But the actual boundaries of these divisions are not so easy to draw within those of the larger desert region. In most cases, one desert shades into another, so boundaries must be somewhat arbitrary and indefinite, as are all attempts by humans to circumscribe nature. As I write this I think of Sir Francis Bacon saying: "Nature is a labyrinth in which the very haste you move with may make you lose your way."

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer believes her company needs more talented and enterpreneurial engineers and product managers.
(She's right!)
So, for the last six months or so, Mayer has been acquiring small, failed mobile startups for small amounts of money, turning off their products, and integrating their teams into Yahoo's larger workforce.
These deals are called "acqui-hires."
Usually, they cost about $1 million per engineer.
Mayer has done about 10 of them since she joined Yahoo last summer. Just last Friday, Yahoo bought a tiny little company called Loki Studios.
Yahoo isn't the first company to do a lot of them.
Google buys dozens of startups for this reason every year. Facebook also hires people this way.
Venture capitalist Mark Suster – who is famous in his industry for selling two companies, and the joining GRP Partners – says that Mayer's acqui-hire strategy is actually really terrible, because it will drain morale from existing employees.
He writes:
Why Acquihires Hurt the Acquiring Company
How about if we look at it from the "rest of company" perspective.
You have been at Google, Salesforce.com, Yahoo! for years. You have worked faithfully. Evenings. Weekends. Year in, year out. You have shipped to hard deadlines. You've done the death-march projects. In the trenches. You got the t-shirt. And maybe got called out for valor at a big company gathering. They gave you an extra 2 days of vacation for your hard work.
And that prick sitting in the desk next to you who joined only last week now has $1 million because he built some fancy newsreader that got a lot of press but is going to be shut down anyways.
What kind of message does that send to the party faithful who slave away loyally to hit targets for BigCo?
I'll tell you what is says.
It says if you want to make "real" money – quit.
Go do a startup. Get some famous angel or seed money. Get yourself in a big demo day competition. Woo the press. Hire legions of young, impressionable graduates from the top engineering universities. And then come back and sell me your company.
I know many rank-and-file employees. I've had the chats with them. You rarely meet people who don't resent the scores of entitled acquihirees of their company.
Does Yahoo! et al really have to keep up with the Jones's to build its future?
For the 200 new employees they'll get through acquihires do they unleash 2,000 unhappy existing employees? Sure, most won't quit. Because they know that it's not a slam dunk to start a business and get acquired. But the most talented of those 2,000 will.
What if the $100 million you're going to spend trying to win this alleged "war for talent" in stead went into big retention plans to keep your most talented employees.
You can't "Roll Out the Red Carpet When Your Best Employees are on the Way Out the Door" as I wrote in this post. So why not announce big, hairy audacious goals on recruiting the best mobile talent with sign-on bonuses and retention plans? And reward your existing top 10% of employees handsomely.
I'll bet the ROI would be higher than acquihires.

Surprise! 'Dancing' sends two stars home
Corrections and clarifications: An earlier version of this story misstated the last name of contestant Danica McKellar.
Dancing With the Stars was full of twists and turns Monday. And we're not talking about the samba or the Argentine tango.
Host Tom Bergeron drew a gasp from the audience as he announced at the start of Monday's Week 2 episode of Dancing With the Stars that not one, but two(!) stars would be going home Monday night.
So who got the boot?
First, a recap of what happened.
- Jeremy Miller of Growing Pains showed up to say he's rooting for "both" Candace Cameron Bure and Danica McKellar, after it was revealed he dated both of them back in the day.
- It was announced that Julianne Hough will be back in two weeks as guest judge.
- And there was the big announcement about what the show is calling "The Switch Up." The stars will be switching their pro partners, as dictated by viewer Tweets.
To vote, viewers must tweet using the hashtag #DWTS plus the first name of the celebrity and the first name of the professional dancer. For example, to pair up celebrity Meryl Davis and professional dancer Derek Hough, the tweet would be: #DWTSMerylDerek (no spaces). Twitter voting for "The Switch Up" will close on March 31 at 11:59 p.m., ET. The new dance pairings will be revealed live on the April 7 show when they dance together for the first time.
-Erin Andrews, who was earning raves on Twitter for her slinky black dress, was in the skybox chatting up the stars.
And the stars did their best to hoof it up for everyone's favorite judges -- Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Len Goodman.
Meryl Davis took a bit of a beating in rehearsal as Maks Chmerkovskiy threw the tiny ice dancer around the studio, preparing for their swing dance. In the ballroom floor, they were fiery and cute, and Maks flipped Meryl, who looked like a smiling Mini Mouse in her polka dot skirt, over his shoulders more than once. And she did it all with ease. Len: "That swing had wings!" Bruno: "The level of difficulty was incredible." He said she made some mistakes in timing. Maks objected, making a frowning face. The crowd didn't like it. Carrie Ann said she saw some "mistakes," but said Meryl is a "star in the athletic numbers." Scores: 8, 9, 8 = 25
Charlie White's tango with Sharna Burgess was fierce and expressive and sexy. Carrie Ann loved his confidence and said, "You looked like Baryshnikov out there." Len said he shouldn't break hold, but they did. Sharna nodded, acknowledging the mistake. Bruno said, "Charlie, don't worry. I love you when you're bad." Scores: 9, 7, 9 = 25
James Maslow's goal was to one-up Cody Simpson. With his shirt open, James and partner Peta Murgatroyd, who was sporting a super cute short shag 'do, steamed up the place with a sexy and sharp salsa. "More of that, please!" said Bruno. Carrie Ann said James earned a spot in the DWTS sexy dancer "hall of fame." Len liked the "attack" he showed. Scores: 9, 8, 8 = 25
Danica McKellar's samba was sizzling and sexy, as she swirled around the floor with Val Chmerkovskiy. She had been stressed about it, but the crowd loved it. Bruno nitpicked and said she didn't quite finish her moves but added that she will soon be a "scorcher." Carrie Ann said she was "so sexy and so elegant." Len said it was "terrific and fantastico." Scores: 8, 8, 8 = 24
Amy Purdy feared that her legs might "come flying off" during her swing dance. When her legs click, it's good for the dance because it means they are together, but it can also separate her from her legs, unattaching her prosthetics. She wore little black boots and black sparkly tights for the number, so her legs were not as apparent as last week. Derek did swing her around, even flipping her over his head at the end. But it all held together just fine. Len said it was "amazing." Bruno thought it was "clever" and "witty." Carrie Ann said it was "mind-boggling" how well in sync the two dancers are. Scores: 8, 8, 8 = 24
Cody Simpson and Witney Carson danced a sizzling tango in light-up costumes. Carrie Ann would like to see him with a "taller" partner. Len said it was a "little bit loose." Bruno said his hard work showed. Scores: 7, 7, 8 = 22
Drew Carey's jive with partner Cheryl Burke was high-energy fun. Len told him to work on his posture, but called him a "black belt" in dancing. Bruno loved how he covered the few spots where he went wrong. Carrie Ann thought his jive was "risky" but loved the "spring in his step." Scores: 7, 7, 7 = 21
Candace Cameron Bure reiterated that her life "revolves around Jesus Christ" so she tried to explain that her rumba would be "beautiful" and not a "raunchy" dance. She and partner Mark Ballas definitely poured emotion into it, draping themselves around each other and looking sexy. Carrie Ann felt it was more contemporary than it was rumba-like. Len said her arms need to be as expressive as her face. He felt it was a little aggressive, but said she did "well." Bruno liked that she danced from the heart. Scores: 7, 7, 7 = 21
NeNe Leakes wanted to dance the jive for her husband, who picked the dance for her because he has always wanted to do it. So she shimmied around in hot pink, giving the fast-paced dance her best. "It was a cute routine," said Len. Bruno said it was "great entertainment." Carrie Ann argued with NeNe's partner Tony Dovolani about what her arms should look like. Scores: 7, 7, 7 = 21
Sean Avery doesn't get why he's supposed to smile all the time. His salsa with Karina Smirnoff was a huge improvement over last week. He actually danced -- and he managed to smile through much of it. He said he did not "want to be the first to go home." Bruno told him that when he smiles, "his whole persona changes." Carrie Ann said he was very "authentic" with his dance. Len said it was "much, much better" than last week. Scores: 7, 7, 7 = 21
Billy Dee Williams was feeling negative. He had the lowest score of the week (but survived!) and during rehearsals was bummed. "I look like an old man trying to be like a young person," he said, noting that his back was "killing" him. But his tango with partner Emma Slater and two troupe dancers gave him a nice, sexy tough-guy role to play, even if he couldn't do a lot moving around the ballroom. Carrie Ann told him he was handling it well, "like the superstar you are." Len said the performance didn't have enough "attack" to it. Bruno liked that he went for the "stylized" approach. Scores: 5, 5, 5 = 15
Diana Nyad got the boot! "For nine years I've wanted to do this show. It's spectacular - the spirit of it," she said. "...It's joy, the freedom ... I only wish that this superlative handsome young man who I've locked my body with now for three weeks. He's elegant and brilliant and I wish I could have given him a few more weeks." She and Henry Bialikov got to do their cha cha before leaving.
And also going home ... Sean Avery. The hockey star managed a big smile when Bergeron delivered the news. So how was the experience for him? "I made a new friend in Karina. I made some money for charity," he said, and, "I got out of the cold winter of New York."
Finally, we interviewed Witney and Tony via Twitter after the show -- check out the conversation below:

Check BNN and Bulbanews for up-to-date Pokémon news and discuss it on the forums or in the Bulbagarden Discord server.
- This article is about the item in the Black and White video games. For the segment at the end of Japanese episodes of the Best Wishes series, see Professor Oak's lecture.
The Xtransceiver (Japanese: ライブキャスター Live Caster) is a key item in Generation V. Introduced in Pokémon Black and White, it has also made appearances in the spin-off media.
In the games
In Pokémon Black and White
The player obtains his or her Xtransceiver early in the game from their mother. In the context of the game, it is a powerful communication tool, and allows the user to contact other Trainers; however, the player can only use it to talk to other players.
At various points in the plot, the player will receive instructions from other characters to advance the storyline. The player's mother, Bianca, Cheren, and Professor Juniper all call the player at various points in the game.
Using the C-Gear's wireless feature, the Xtransceiver can be used to communicate with other real-life players nearby. Up to four players can talk to each other using a radio-like system. If they have a Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, Nintendo 3DS, or Nintendo 3DS XL, they also have the option to see each other with the console's built-in camera.
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
In Pokémon Black and White Versions 2, the Xtransceiver takes on a function like the calling functions of the Pokégear and PokéNav, allowing the player to call other people in-game through the Xtransceiver. However, only plot-relevant characters, in addition to either Curtis or Yancy, can be registered, although the latter two cannot be called as freely as the others.
The player's mother is registered by default. Cheren, Bianca, and Professor Juniper are registered after defeating the Aspertia Gym. Curtis or Yancy can be registered in Nimbasa City after reaching certain requirements.
In addition, two minigames can be played: Balloon Catch! and Balloon Ka-Boom! Both games involve popping balloons. If the player uses the Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, Nintendo 3DS, or Nintendo 3DS XL, the player's actual face can be used instead of the default images.
The Xtransceiver can also be used over the internet by selecting it at the Global Terminal in a Pokémon Center. It cannot be used over the internet if selected from the Bag.
Flavor text
In the anime
Trip was the first person seen with a Xtransceiver in the anime. It first appeared in A Rival Battle for Club Champ! where Ash contacted Trip on a built-in Xtransceiver in Luxuria Town's Battle Club computer. It contacted Trip and Ash asked him for a battle.
In Minccino—Neat and Tidy!, Bianca was also shown to have one where she contacted Professor Juniper. Dawn was also revealed to own one in place of her Pokétch in Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!.
Also, in the Japanese version of Best Wishes series, there is a segment called Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster, which may be related to the Japanese name of the Xtransceiver.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
The Xtransceiver makes its first appearance in an advertising commercial for the device. The commercial shooting is interrupted by a wild Galvantula but Black saves the day by defeating it. Later, he and White are each given Xtransceivers as thanks.
In the TCG

Why you should add Korea to your Indie/RTW trip
- You like to eat. From street food to traditional Korean BBQ to Korean fusion, whether you're a foodie or a budget eater, you'll find it in Korea - and with kimchee on the side.
- Korea is foreigner-friendly. Post-war Korea has had close ties to the States. Combine that with the plethora of ESL teachers, and this sets up a fairly accommodating network & infrastructure for travelers.
- From big-city Seoul, to the mountains, to Busan (Korea's beach town), you can find a little bit of everything.
- Korea is modern and fast-paced, but be prepared for a few off the beaten path type experiences still (you will encounter the occasional squat toilet, you will encounter people who can't speak your language, you probably won't be able to read the menu in most restaurants, especially after you get outside of Seoul).
- The future is here, especially in the high-tech center of Seoul - and wifi on the subway!
Indie Travel Tips
- Many ATMs in Korea won't accept foreign cards. Large banks often have one ATM with an "Outside of Korea" option. Ask your hostel or the TI for the closest one.
- Korea has a rail pass, but it may not save you a bundle on transport like the Japan Rail pass does -- do the math first.
- Visit a Korean grocery store - a great way to stock up on Korean snacks and for people-watching.
- Shopping in Korea is probably midrange in price and value compared to other options in Asia.
- If you get good vibes from your hostel/hosts, ask them for food recommendations, especially with family-style dining and Korean BBQ, having the names written down of a couple food items will take you a long way.
- If you're taking a wifi-enabled phone, be sure to search for 'Seoul' in apps and download subway apps for major Korean cities.
- In Seoul, buy a T-Money card for the subway, you can load money on it for transportation and even use it at convenience stores.
- Korea has seasons, so be prepared to layer if you're going in late fall through early spring. Read: Teaching English in South Korea.

Marin leads the Bay Area in wood smoke complaints for the sixth straight year
By Mark Prado
Marin Independent Journal
Posted: 03/04/2014 05:18:45 PM PST
For the sixth straight year, Marin led Bay Area counties in the number of complaints filed during winter "Spare the Air" days when burning in fireplaces is prohibited, air quality officials reported Tuesday.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District received 1,058 complaints from Marin residents about smoke during "Spare the Air" alerts — about one-fifth of the Bay Area total. Marin has led the category every year since the inception of the program.
"There are lot of inland valleys in Marin and smoke tends to accumulate in those areas," said Ralph Borrmann, air district spokesman. "There are also active groups in areas like West Marin who call in."
The district also is aware of difficulties facing areas, such as Woodacre, where access to natural gas is limited and many people rely on wood for heat. The rules include exemptions for those families and businesses who burn wood to stay warm, yet people may still call to report smoke from those buildings.
This is the sixth year the district has cracked down on people who burn wood on days when weather conditions make it likely smoke will hang in the air and cause particulate pollution, making it difficult for some people to breathe.
"People get frustrated they can't burn and we end up selling a lot of gas stoves," said Barry Hovis, an employee at Blaze Fireplaces in San Rafael.
He estimates gas stoves make up at least 80 percent of business, but that there still is a demand for wood stoves.
"Lots of people like wood," Hovis said. "That's what they grew up with."
A lack of rainfall in Marin and the Bay Area through early February, along with light winds and cool temperatures combined to create a high number of no-burn days this season, air officials noted. The district called 30 "Spare the Air" days during the Nov. 1 through Feb. 28 period, tying a record established in 2006-07 season.
"This dry winter brought with it an unprecedented stretch of bad air quality and no-burn days," said Jack Broadbent, the air district's executive officer, in a statement.
Marin County had the third-highest number of confirmed violations, 40, behind San Mateo and Sonoma counties, according to district data.
Those who were caught violating the air rule this past season were assessed a $100 penalty. Each violation had to be confirmed by an inspector from the air district. A second-time burn offender faced a $500 fine.
Those who were cited can get out of paying by going to "smoke school." That requires enrolling in an online course that takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Air district officials say that on bad-air nights during the winter, smoke from 1.4 million fireplaces and wood stoves in the Bay Area accounts for 33 percent of the particulate matter that pollutes the air, outpacing cars, which account for 23 percent of the pollution. Particulate matter measures about one-seventh the diameter of a human hair and can pass through the nose and throat and lodge deep in the lungs, causing potential health issues.

As Dave pointed out in a previous post SILICA now has the ability to inject into WPA encrypted traffic in 3 different ways:
- Client-side Injection - inject a client-side exploit into the target's browser.
- Custom Injection - inject a custom payload of your choice!
- Browser Auto-Complete Attack - pull saved passwords directly out of the browser.
The most common responses that I get regarding injecting into WPA encrypted traffic is "it can't be done" and "the algorithm was designed to prevent that!". As I have come to find out the security industry doesn't believe anything it hears - only what it sees with its own eyes (this was a lesson learned after being rushed by all the Apple fans when I released the details of the Apple ARP disclosure at INFILTRATE 2012).
The main thing to understand when injecting into WPA is the difference between anti-replay and anti-injection mechanisms. When breaking WEP you have the ability to "replay" a packet that will illicit a response from the wireless AP each of which containing a small piece of a statistical puzzle that will eventually allow an attacker to derive the key. WPA version 1 was designed to be a band-aid to the broken WEP algorithm (it's safe to think of it as an upgrade to WEP). The industry's answer to the chaos and panic was to create an algorithm that was still compatible with the WEP devices but prevented a repeat of the same crypto errors. But in the end - the only thing that was truly prevented was replay - not injection.
The one side effect to injecting into WPA traffic is that the AP will kick the target off the network for a short period of time - this is your only obstacle when injecting into a target device but the device will soon reconnect with your injection still in the browser/application ready to continue where it left off.
The ability to inject into a target's WPA traffic opens an attack vector as most users think they are protected on a WPA network. The effects can be can be devastating. What happens when you modify a patient's bloodtype in the medical industry, add/remove a 0 to a financial transaction or randomly insert dialogs from Quentin Tarantino movies into corporate emails? The problem is actually quite serious.
Even if you are feeling generous and choose not to ruin or severely complicate lives with SILICA you can at least setup a custom phishing attack with the Custom Injection mode to harvest user names, passwords, PINs and tokens (just modify /su/Resouces/custom-injection.html to fit your needs). SILICA will inject the contents of custom-injection.html into the target's browser - the rest is left up to your imagination.
I have never been on a wireless penetration test in which I was not able to get a WPA key in one way or another. The truth is a WPA Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is usually common knowledge among employees and contractors alike. You don't need to crack the key all the time as most people are willing to hand it over (or you can use the FakeAP attack in SILICA to break into a wireless device and pull the key off in plaintext). When you have the key SILICA will do the rest to expose everything almost as if the data is traversing the network without any wireless encryption at all.
It goes without saying that if you have the ability to encrypt and inject into a target's browser then you also have the ability to decrypt a target's traffic as well. Data is a valuable target - whether it be personal employee or proprietary data, network traffic or intellectual property. Once you have the decrypted data all of this can be at your fingertips. The quickest way to decrypt traffic using SILICA is to enter into Passive Session Hijacking mode. This mode is typically used to hijack web sessions but it will also decrypt all WPA traffic for all clients on the network provided SILICA collects each of their handshakes (which it will do for you automatically). SILICA will spawn Wireshark on a named pipe to which it will send all decrypted traffic for your viewing pleasure (eventually you will be able to run the collected traffic though STALKER. You're welcome.).
This is the point at which your wireless penetration test truly begins.

The European Commission has adopted a proposal to strengthen anti-money laundering (AML) and counterterrorism financing (CFT) measures related to virtual currencies.
The proposal, adopted in July 2016, seeks to bring greater transparency to the virtual currency market in the European Union by imposing customer due diligence (CDD) requirements on certain market participants, now considered "obligated entities" under the EU's Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (4AMLD), which will come into effect on June 26, 2017.
The response brings the EU into greater alignment with the US regulatory scheme, under which certain virtual currency participants are considered "money transmitters" subject to AML/CFT rules promulgated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
Virtual currencies are digital representations of value neither issued by a central bank or public authority, nor derived from a fiat currency. Rather, their value derives from their common acceptance among a group of natural or legal persons as a means of payment that can be transferred, stored, or traded electronically. The usage of virtual currencies continues to grow – as do concerns about the true identity, and intentions, of their users. But despite these issues, virtual currency intermediaries (e.g., platforms, providers, exchanges) were not originally included in the 4AMLD's definition of obligated entities. Moreover, no other EU regulation requires the monitoring of virtual currency transfers for money laundering or terrorist financing risk.
To allow competent authorities to monitor suspicious virtual currencies transactions, the proposal will subject "all gatekeepers that control access to virtual currencies, in particular exchange platforms and wallet providers" to the 4AMLD's requirements for obligated entities. These requirements include, among others, implementing preventive AML/CFT measures, conducting CDD on customers and beneficial owners, assessing their associated money laundering and terrorist financing risks, and reporting suspicious transactions involving virtual currencies. As a result, virtual currency intermediaries who will be classified as obligated entities under the 4AMLD must ensure that they establish a satisfactory compliance program before the Directive comes into effect or they run the risk of facing potentially severe sanctions.
The proposal seeks to reduce the higher degree of anonymity associated with virtual currency transactions as compared to more traditional transactions. The proposal argues that the credibility of virtual currencies will not rise so long as they are associated with criminal enterprises (i.e., Bitcoin and Mt. Gox, Silk Road). Subjecting certain market participants to the AML/CFT framework, the proposal affirms, will give customer end-users stronger confidence in virtual currencies. And, while this will decrease anonymity among virtual currency transactions involving intermediaries, the proposal also urges national financial intelligence units to combat anonymity in transactions not involving these entities by associating virtual currency addresses with the true owners of the virtual currencies.

I paid $2.97 plus tax for all of the above at CVS. After I paid, I got back $6 in Extrabucks to spend, PLUS I will submit a $5 Rebate from the 1/29 Sunday paper, so in the end I will come out MAKING $7.07 from purchasing those items! Total savings- $26.06!
I just had a ball doing a simple transaction at CVS where I came out making money by the time it was done! Not only that, but I will make $5 MORE if the rebate that I submit today comes through.
Here's the deal:
CVS is running a promo where if you spend $12 on select items, you will receive $6 in Extrabucks after you pay. The qualifying items are found on page 4 of the CVS weekly sales flyer, but I will list them below for you:
Lady Speed Stick 2.3-3 oz.
Regular Speed Stick (Men) 2.3-3 oz
Colgate Total or Sensitive (5.8-6 oz)
Colgate 360 Toothbrush
Irish Spring or Softsoap Body Wash 15-18 oz
Irish Spring Bar Soap 3-4 pack
Softsoap Liquid or Foaming Hand Soap 8-8.5 oz
By the way, those are some large sizes! I bought the body washes and they are huge! The toothpaste is a big container, too. They are all on sale and had matching coupons, which makes the promo even more fun.
So, my strategy was to buy the cheapest items and apply the largest coupons. As long as your pre-coupon total is $12, you will still earn the $6 Extrabucks reward, even if you don't end up paying $12 after all your discounts!
So I bought:
4 Speed Sticks (2 mens and 2 womens) for $1.99 each.
I used 2 B1G1 Free coupons from the 1/29 Raleigh Sunday paper, so two of the four ended up being free.
1 Colgate Sensitive Enamel Protection Toothpaste.
I used a $1.00 coupon from the Raleigh 1/21 Sunday paper.
1 Irish Spring Body Wash for Men.
I used a $1.00 off coupon from the Raleigh 1/29 Sunday paper.
1 Softsoap Body Wash (Pomegranate and Mango- it smells divine!).
I used a $.75 off coupon from the Raleigh 1/29 Sunday paper.
I also got lucky today. I walked into CVS and scanned my CVS Extrabucks Card at the card scanner. When I did, a $3 off my total purchase coupon printed out. Apparently, I earned this from my fall spending, so that made things even better.
After all the items rang up and the coupons plus $3 Extrabucks came off, I paid $3.93 out of pocket! This included $.96 in tax. After paying, a $6 Extrabucks reward printed off my receipt! I can redeem this in the future at Harris Teeter or at CVS.
Amazingly, it gets better......there is a black history month rebate in the Raleigh 1/29 Smart Source insert for Colgate-Palmolive Products. If you spend $10 on them, you can earn a $5 rebate by mail. I will submit it and hopefully it will go through without any problems. I'll let you know the outcome of that and when I receive it.
This is what the rebate form looks like. You can find it in the Smart Source insert from the Raleigh 1/29 Newspaper. Deadline to buy and submit is March 15, 2012!
So, counting the Extrabucks I earned and the rebate, I came out having made over $7 on this transaction! Plus, I got some amazing products. I tell you what- there's no excuse for anybody in my household to smell bad thanks to Colgate-Palmolive and CVS!

Enticing opening sequence of shots by Ridley Scott and then straight into a whole new legal show featuring a Ponzi scheme as both the showcase legal and life(s)-changing event. The series continues to star Christine Baranski (Diane Lockhart) and also from TGW, is young lawyer Cush Jumbo (Luca Quinn) and Eli Gold's delightful daughter, Marissa reappears.
Do watch it, it's great.
I don't know if The Good Wife has been discussed here before, but it is surprisingly good. It loses its way completely sometime around season 6 but the way it weaves in social media, political debate and courtroom drama is pretty effective.
The apparently explosive friction between two of the leads Margulies and Panjabi is pretty funny as well as the producers try as many ingenious ways as possible not to have them in the same room together even when the plot demands that they talk to each other.
Didn't realise there was a sequel, will check it out, thanks for the heads-up (I didn't like Eli Gold's daughter though ).
Started very promising, this series - I love the opening shot of Diane staring forlornly at the screen as Trump is being sworn in, and the core cast is fantastic - Diane, Lucca, Maia, and Adrian - but ultimately I feel the series fell off the rails pretty badly pretty quickly. Lucca's love interest (the guy from the Hangover) doesn't follow on well from previous, similar, conflicted-but-well-meaning AUSA characters (just comes across as pure sleaze) and their relationship doesn't seem believable at all. Most of the cases involve the same set of clients/antagonists from The Good Wife and it feels like they really should have moved on from all that - particularly since they move the setting to an all-black law firm, why are all the cases the same vanilla white millionaires as in The Good Wife? And I find Maia's role particularly difficult - she's a really interesting actress, but she completely overdoes the weakness/uncertainty/stumbling thing, and the way she is handling the investigation into her parents makes no sense. Plus, it seems to me that the eventual FBI interview is fully justified, while they are portraying it as a sneaky, politically motivated campaign against her. When she is let off trhough a technicality, you are meant to feel relieved, but all I felt was fcking typical - she is getting away with (and OK, fine, the season ends with her being arrested - but only because he dad doesn't protect her...and what, are we meant to feel sorry for her? fck off!)

EDA works closely with Cal/EPA and other local partners to create the first Permit Assistance Center in the state, with continuous efforts to improve collaboration between business and regulatory agencies. One-stop permitting centers operating in the East Bay are an outgrowth of this effort (1995).
EDA resolves Port of Oakland channel dredging impasse by convening and building consensus among fishermen, conservation groups, shipping interests, and others to use spoils from dredging the channel 42 feet deep to create wetlands (1991). EDA continued support to dredge the Port of Oakland to 50 feet, enabling the newest and largest container ships to make deliveries directly from Asia and shorten the supply chain (2009).This effort increased the region's competitiveness and brought in the biggest container ship to ever enter the San Francisco Bay (2012).
EDA convened key regional stakeholders to mitigate the Port of Oakland's congestion impact on regional transportation corridors. This effort resulted in recommendations for relocation options for transportation and distribution facilities supporting the Port (2003).
In an effort to expand Bay Area rail service, EDA held discussions with Union Pacific to share the East Bay's logistic needs. This resulted in Union Pacific expanding its tunnels in the Sierra Nevada that enables service by double-stacked rail cars and reduces delays caused by avalanches (2009).
EDA helped Miles Inc. /Cutter Biological, a Bayer subsidiary, obtain a precedent setting 30-year development agreement with the City of Berkeley, saving 650 jobs and generating hundreds of millions in new investment. The facility is now Bayer's worldwide headquarters for biologics, employing 1,400 (1992).
EDA worked with three cities and the State to include Bayer's facilities in Oakland's Enterprise Zone. This effort created $10 Million incentive package that prevented Bayer from moving manufacturing out of the State and saving more than $100 Million in investment, as well as 1,400 jobs (2009).
EDA supported Kaiser Permanente with various site alternatives analyses to establish site requirements and evaluate alternatives for a new medical center in the Oakland-Emeryville area (1993).
EDA partnered with EDA member PG&E to pull businesses out of recession by training PG&E field staff to identify businesses in trouble or possibly relocating (1994).
EDA played a lead role in helping locate Hart Brewing (Pyramid Ale) in Berkeley: over $10 million invested and 110 new jobs created, while enhancing business clusters and development of the area (1996).
EDA initiated a series of international business retention and marketing trade missions that eventually include Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China (1998).
EDA played a large role in rescuing the existence of TeamCalifornia by volunteering to staff this entity when state staffing and fiscal support was lost. EDA coordinate its state marketing presence at industry tradeshows, ad campaigns, and online for three years until TeamCalifornia restructured to support and sustain itself (2003).
East Bay EDA was successful in obtaining ARRA stimulus funding by coordinating 3 Recovery Zone Facility Bond Projects totaling $26.3 Million, which impacted the cities of Fremont, Hayward, Newark and Alameda County (2010).
Years after the Loma Prieta earthquake, EDA worked with the city of Oakland, Citizens for Emergency Relief Team, and Caltrans on behalf of businesses relocating or otherwise impacted by the reconstruction of the Cypress freeway to resolve differences and reach an agreement on fair market compensation (1998).

Facebook Inc.
Yesterday, Facebook took a page out of Google's playbook by adding new ways to organize friend lists. Today, Facebook is following Twitter with a new "Subscribe" button that lets members keep up with friends they know and people they don't know personally.
But Facebook's optional new button goes a little further, with controls that give members choices for the kinds of updates they want to see.
"Until now, it hasn't been easy to choose exactly what you see in your News Feed," Facebook software engineer Zach Rait explained in a company blog post. "Maybe you don't want to see every time your brother plays a game on Facebook, for example. Or maybe you'd like to see more stories from your best friends and fewer from your coworkers."
The button gives optional additions to the way Facebook already sends network updates into a member's news feed.
Rait said once you have "Subscribed," the button presents options to see all updates, or "everything your friend posts," most updates, "the amount you'd normally see," or important updates, "just highlights, like a new job or move."
"You could see just photos from one friend, no stories about games from another and nothing at all from someone else," he said.
Subscribe will also enable Facebook members to receive updates from other people even if they aren't friends, such as "journalists, artists and political figures," he said.
That's like Twitter's "follow" function, which Twitter members use to get tweets broadcast by famous people or big companies without having to form a two-way online relationship.
But Facebook members also have to chose whether to make their public posts available through the subscribe button.
It's been a busy week for the Palo Alto company, which yesterday introduced changes to the way members can organize their list of friends. And Facebook is preparing for F8, its big developer conference next week in San Francisco.
"Facebook is undoubtedly subscribing to Twitter and Google+," said David Berkowitz, vice president of emerging media for digital-marketing agency 360i. "You can bet that LinkedIn will offer this next, as LinkedIn already offers it for companies, and it's a logical extension to apply it to people."
In an e-mail, Berkowitz noted that Foursquare has also introduced a function to "follow" celebrities as a way to get around the location service's 1,000-friend limit. And even though Facebook now has 750 million active users worldwide, the average of 130 friends per member hasn't changed.
"While people have become more discerning with defining who their friends are, they're also growing more comfortable sharing content online and a lot of that content is posted publicly," he said. "The subscribe feature is a good option and one that will prevent a lot of people from feeling forced into relationships that feel closer digitally than they are in the real world."

Well, that was interesting!
I do not use the head in my Mull 30 . Well, I use it, but I do not use any of the plumbing or the holding tank. Last year I removed the holding tank and most of the hoses and Y valve. I just completed the removal of all the remaining hoses and completed plugging both related through hulls with bronze caps.
I singlehand mostly and I do not like to carry sewage sloshing around in a tank. For many years I have been using "wag bags" which allow me to package waste and store it in an appropriate place on board. There is no flush water involved so the waste is pretty compact.
I generally pee overboard and at sea I use a bucket.
The project:
I use the original Groko head bowl, seat and lid to accommodate the wag bags which fit quite nicely inside the bowl. This works well, but one of the bolted feet on the Groko broke some time ago and needed to be fixed because the bowl would flex around when I sat on it. Need to fix the base.
OK, how do you get the base off? There are four bolts holding it to the floor of the liner in the head. These bolts have nuts on the other end and, guess what, the nuts can't be accessed...at all. Thank God for Amazon is all I can say. I decided to cut a 4 inch access hole in the liner floor so I could get at the bolts. The liner floor is five or six inches raised above the hull itself so it's safe to cut the hole. Once I had a strategy, I ordered the hole cutter and a 4 inch deck plate from Amazon. I cut the hole today and finally got the base off so I can get it into my shop and fix it. Turns out there is a nice little space under the head. Now that I have a deck plate installed in there I can use this space to store items which are important but rarely used. Things like fuel filters come to mind.
The other thing that came out of this was a 4 inch diameter plug of cored head liner. Although Freedom did not provide any way to access the head bolts, they did a beautiful job of fabricating a cored liner. The sample I have in hand looks beautiful 31 years after it was built. Sweet.

Features and benefits
FSDR .. K housings have the following features and benefits:
Superior sealing solution
The SKF multi-stage labyrinth seal, which is standard for all trunnion bearing housings, is a highly effective sealing solution that can prevent the ingress of contaminants even during high-pressure wash downs. The inclined outside face of the labyrinth ring helps to prevent water and contaminants from entering the labyrinth (fig. 1)
Reduced grease consumption
Trunnion bearing housings typically require large amounts of grease at frequent intervals, to purge contaminants from the bearing and housing. With SKF grinding mill housings however, the highly effective multi-stage labyrinth seal makes it possible to extend relubrication intervals, helps to eliminate overgreasing and reduce grease consumption.
Easy access for inspection and maintenance
The covers and labyrinth rings are split for easy removal. This enables the housing, bearing and seals to be inspected, or replaced, and used grease to be removed, without dismounting the housing.
Machined base ends
The base ends of FSDR .. K housings are machined to make alignment easier and to provide a flat surface for stops (fig. 2).
Ventilating valves
Ventilating valves are supplied with the housing (fig. 3). They help to prevent high pressures, which can be caused by heat, from building up in the housing. The valves have a 2 μm dirt filter.

What a statement: "The world is beautiful!" and it sure is. I'm currently in Australia on my 8th month and must say I am enjoying it grand scale. Especially one part of my stay stands out in my memory, the magic of travelling. "To Travel is to Live" so did H.C. Andersen write, and I must have to agree with him. Therefore I would like to share the best of my latest travel experience.
New Zealand, the country of magical landscapes and sheep outnumbering the Kiwis by far. I went with great friends of mine, and we did what I would like to call a jet-set tour, with speeding across both islands in just two weeks. Not the way you are recommended to experience this fairy-tale land, but for sure a good tour anyway.
Dunedin and Otago Peninsula
Otago Peninsula is a wonderful stretch of land giving access to Albatross Point, where if you are luck you can get to see an albatross up close. However, this is not it. The winding roads taking you from Dunedin to Albatross point is a race drivers dream. Combine this with a stunning nature, and beautiful bays, and you got half a day of fun.
Milford Sound
"Like sailing in a painting." Milford sound is one of these places that you for all the best in the world should not miss. We went kayaking and got up close to seals, waterfalls, and mystery bobbles appearing on the surface of the water. Milford sound is one of these places where you can fully allow yourself to quietly take in the breath-taking natural beauty.
The adventure capital of the world, where you can bungy jump, skydive, paraglide, climb mountains or some of the other adventurous activities, for not mentioning skiing during the winter season. Queenstown got everything you desire, even a good night life, if wanted. Queenstown is not just a place for the adventurous, but surrounded by absolute stunning mountains and the impressive Lake Wakatipu.
Fox Glacier
Have you ever climbed a glacier? I have. The Fox Glacier is just a must do, and even though you wonder what is so special about walking on a massive chunk of ice, it is just such a unique experience. We spend a full day climbing the glacier and we got to experience an ice cave. I recommend everyone passing by Fox Glacier to experiences this unique piece of nature, and I must say I was impressed by professionalism of the guiding team. They did a good job.
Ferry from Picton to Wellington
What an amazing ferry ride out of Queen Charlotte Sound. The ferry ride alone is worth all the money. Extremely beautiful! Wellington might be New Zealand's only larger city with a bit of soul. We spend a day in the city enjoying the atmosphere of a creatively designed seafront, the Museum of New Zealand: Te Papa Tongarewa, which was really nice. Wellington was also the city where I had the best Burger I have ever tasted. "Like heaven on a plate." Did I remember the bar that served it, I would have mentioned it, but sadly I don't.
Rotorua and Waimangu
Rotorua is the place of thermal activity, where mud pools is part of the regular walk in the park. When we were there we headed out for Waimangu Volcanic Valley, which is a place of significant geothermal activity. We had a great one hour walk, and saw beautiful lakes such as Frying Pan Lake, Inferno Crater Lake and Lake Rotomahana. This was my first time ever walking on a volcano and the whole experience of gasses and bobbles pumping out of the mountains were just wicked.
They like to call themselves a miniature of Sydney, but sadly they are just not. Auckland is sadly a big city with a great need of a unique soul. Oh yes, there is beautiful places to go, eat and hang out. However there just isn't anything unique where you think WOW, I am in Auckland. One of my favourite places was the harbour, especially because Auckland is a great place for sail sport.
All over I had an amazing experience in New Zealand and one lesson that I took with me and that applies to all my travels.
"It is not the places you see, it is who you see them with!"

Best SAG: Evan Rachel Wood
Colour, cut, fit, shoes (SHOEs!!!)…without question, last night belonged to Evan Rachel Wood. Marilyn Manson clouds are receding…
Evan Rachel Wood is re-emerging. And how.
She has been perfect all awards season. Cannot wait for Oscar.
As for those of you who still won't forgive her for Dita homewreckage – I'll argue for her:
She was a child with lofty ideals and naïve underdog sympathies. She truly believed he was wrongly fringed. And he took advantage of her. He preyed on youth and inexperience.18 years old: did she even have a chance?
Then she grew up, and somehow found the strength to grow out of him. And leave him.
It's promising. It's feisty. It's potential. And she's only 21.
Please reconsider?

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell refinanced his private residence and restructured loans on other properties as he repays a businessman and donor who showered him and his family with gifts.
Court and government records reveal real estate transactions that could free up cash while McDonnell and his family return gifts and loans totaling more than $150,000 to Jonnie R. Williams Sr., the CEO of an obscure nutritional supplement maker who is the central figure in a political scandal that began to emerge in April, when the governor initiated the series of property transactions.
However, public documents do not indicate if McDonnell has spent any of the money freed up by those transactions, or whether any of it may have been used to repay Williams. Besides the repayment of the politically embarrassing loans, McDonnell faces unspecified costs for a legal and public relations team he hired as he faces federal and state investigations into his dealings with Williams.
First Read — DMV
A place for insight, analysis and exclusives on the people who shape politics in the District, Maryland and Virginia.
A spokesman hired by McDonnell to handle media relations on the scandal, Rich Galen, declined repeated requests to discuss the property transactions.
McDonnell also is receiving help from supporters who created a nonprofit corporation to accept donations for his legal defense. Virginia Beach attorneys Stanley Baldwin and Jason Miyares and Hampton Roads businessman Tom Knox said they created the fund because they felt legal fees for someone like McDonnell who has spent decades in public service -- in the Army, as a prosecutor and as an elected official – "could be ruinous." They say no payments have been made yet.
With a salary of $175,000 as governor and the primary breadwinner for a large family, McDonnell's primary assets are in real estate, with properties assessed at millions of dollars.
A complete picture of McDonnell's finances does not exist, in part because Virginia's laws are limited in what public officeholders must disclose. That makes it impossible to determine the motives behind the transactions.
However, there has been no spike in market values -- either up or down -- that would precipitate the financial activity, said Alex M. Johnson Jr., a law professor at the University of Virginia specializing in property and real estate transactions who reviewed the documents at the request of The Associated Press. Plus, the transactions occurred as interest rates began to emerge from record lows, he said.
"It is a lot of activity within a short period of time," Johnson said. "So it does look like individuals who are making these transactions are amassing cash, that's about the only thing I can say."
The gift-giving scandal has sparked calls to reform Virginia's lax financial disclosure laws and has sparked two investigations. The FBI is examining whether Williams' gifts to McDonnell came with strings attached, while a separate investigation is looking into whether McDonnell violated the state's financial disclosure law.
As for Williams, he is the target of a federal securities investigation and shareholder lawsuits.
For his part, McDonnell said Williams' largesse was not repaid with any influence, and he has denied any wrongdoing. McDonnell has said the repayments to Williams are coming from his personal assets: "I didn't want to borrow money from anybody else."
While he has not specified the personal assets he is tapping, his real estate portfolio is extensive.
It includes his partnership with his sibling in two rental properties in the Sandbridge section of Virginia Beach; an interest in an office building in the resort city; his private residence in Richmond; and a share of a property at the Wintergreen resort.
In April, the McDonnells refinanced their private residence in the Richmond suburb of Glen Allen with a $696,000 mortgage, Henrico County court records show. The home's most recent assessed value was $651,700, far less than the $835,000 the family paid for it in 2006.
In May, the McDonnells reduced their share in a $1 million property in Wintergreen, from 40 percent to 20 percent, which would have realized them about $200,000, according to Jones' analysis of the property's deed of trust.
That same month, the Virginia Beach commercial property owned by McDonnell and other partners in Racehorse Properties restructured the mortgage to make up to $728,755 available and secured by the property, which is valued at $4.65 million. It was purchased in 2004 for $3.1 million.
"It doesn't mean they've activated the loan or credit, it doesn't mean they've taken the money, but it's available," Johnson said.
McDonnell has acknowledged some financial stress related to his half interest in two beach houses, both bought as the real estate boom went to bust. The larger property sold for $1.15 million in 2005 and is now assessed at $837,000; the other property sold for $850,000 in 2006 and is now assessed at $740,000.
In an interview last month on WTOP radio in Washington, McDonnell acknowledged "cash flow" problems with the rental properties during the offseason.
Financial disclosure forms filed by McDonnell state the properties reap between $50,000 and $250,000 a year. The larger beach property, a 5,600-foot-house along a sand-swept road in Sandbridge, rents for up to $10,000 during peak weeks.

The number of indigenous plants in New Zealand is as follows:Vascular plants 2,418Mosses approx. 560Hornworts 20Liverworts approx. 600 (likely to be 1000)Lichens 2,300Macroalgae (seaweeds) approx. 800 (likely to be 1000)----------------------------------------------Total number of plants = 6,698----------------------------------------------
Please note that the estimated number of plants changes as scientists find, name or reassess the taxonomic status of plants.
There are an estimated 422,000 flowering plants in the world, approximately 1,000 gymnosperms, 15,000 ferns and fern allies (including club mosses, spike mosses, quillworts, spike horsetails and whisk ferns) and approximately 22,000 mosses, liverworts and hornworts.
There are 24,744 exotic species recorded in NZ according to Duncan & Williams (2002)*. Some experts estimate that the number may be more like 35,000 although there is no definitive list. The NZPCN website lists 2536 of these exotic plants as naturalised in New Zealand. Of these, approximately 300 to 500 are regarded as serious environmental weeds.

A weed is a plant that grows in the wild and which is negatively affecting things we value (e.g., the natural environment, our health or our livelihoods). A weed is often also referred to as an invasive plant. An alien plant is one which does not naturally occur in a certain place (i.e., it is not native) but may or may not be not established in the wild. Alien plants are also referred to as adventive, casual, or non-native. A naturalised plant is one not native but which is established, or grows and reproduces, in the wild.
Over 30% (797) of New Zealand's indigenous plants are regarded as threatened or uncommon in NZ. The IUCN (World Conservation Union) Red List for the planet contains 8,447 plants in 2007
A rare plant is one that is not commonly found in the wild. It may be naturally rare or sparse or may have a restricted range. Rare plants may or may not be of conservation concern. A threatened plant is a rare plant which is at risk of extinction in the wild. An endangered plant is a type of threatened plant. It is a technical term for describing the degree of risk of extinction a plant is under. Some technical terms, such as endangered, are commonly and inaccurately used to refer to all threatened plants.
In conjunction with the Department of Conservation, the Network is involved with a 3 yearly assessment of the status of New Zealand's threatened plants. Information collated every three years is assessed by an expert panel comprising Peter de Lange, John Barkla, David Norton, Ewen Cameron, Peter Heenan, Shannel Courtney and Andrew Townsend (facilitator). Each new threatened plant list is published in the New Zealand Journal of Botany.
There are an estimated 1,984 species, subspecies, varieties or forms that are endemic to New Zealand which is 82.2% of the New Zealand flora. These plants cannot be found growing naturally in the wild outside of New Zealand. This high degree of endemism is one of the reasons for New Zealand being identified by Conservation International as a Centre of Plant Diversity and world biodiversity hotspot.
Endemic means exclusively native to the biota of a specific place. A species that is endemic is unique to its own place or region: found only there, and not found naturally anywhere else.
Ixerba used to be the only endemic flowering plant family in New Zealand until the APG merged the Ixerbaceae with the New Caledonian Strasburgiaceae. There is only one NZ species in this family - Ixerba brexioides
New Zealand has more than 60 species of small-leaved shrubs and low-growing trees with densely interlaced wiry, highly tensile stems. Collectively these are known as divaricating shrubs because their branches are spread apart at a wide angle. The divaricating form is also referred to as filiramulate meaning plants that have small widely spaced leaves or short shoots on thin, often tough branches and are a characteristic feature of over 60 species the New Zealand flora. They include conifers, daisies, myrtles, brooms, pittosporums, and coprosmas. This feature is found elsewhere but is most prominent in New Zealand, where it occurs in around 10% of woody plants and has evolved independently in 18 plant families. Examples of species are: Corokia cotoneaster,Raukaua (Pseudopanax) anomalum, Elaeocarpus hookerianus.
A hybrid is an organism that is the offspring of genetically dissimilar parents or stock; especially offspring produced by breeding plants or animals of different varieties or breeds or species. For plants that means it has parents which are genetically distinct (different cultivars, varieties, species or genera). Hybrids can occur naturally in the wild or be artificially crossed by a plant breeder. Hybrids in garden centres have usually been crossed to achieve a desired outcome such as a showy flower, coloured foliage or a more hardy plant.
An example from the New Zealand flora is the sterile Thelymitra xdentata (a sporadically occurring hybrid between Thelymitra longifolia and Thelymitra pulchella). Click here to read the Network fact sheet.
While a hybrid (see above) is usually a cultivar (CULTIvated VARiety), a cultivar is not necessarily a hybrid. A cultivar is a plant selected for its commercial qualities. It may be an unusual one-off wild form or it may be an unusual form selected in a nursery, or a hybrid.
Plant names can help distinguish between a wild plant, a hybrid or a cultivar. Every wild plant a scientific name in Latin composed of two parts: 1) the genus name, and 2) the species name. The genus is a bit like a surname, and the species a given name. There may also be a variety or form name, both also in Latin. Usually a cultivar has a non-Latin name which is often in single inverted commas e.g. Phormium 'Yellow Sun', or Griselinia littoralis 'Eden Mint'.
The name of a hybrid usally has an x (the multiplication sign) in it symbolizing it is a cross e.g., Coprosma propinqua x robusta. However, a hybrid bred to be sold in a nursery can also have a cultivar name.
See the Deciduous plant section of this website. Approximately 28 species (4.8%) of the New Zealand woody flora have a marked loss of leaves in winter. Only 11 species are consistently fully winter deciduous (adults are entirely leafless, or nearly so, towards the end of winter) although juvenile plants in some populations may retain significant foliage during the winter. They are:
The following 11 species are best described as semi-deciduous, the degree of leaf loss varying markedly according to exposure, site, and geographic location:
Some populations of Sophora microphylla and Sophora tetraptera are brevideciduous meaning they lose their overwintering leaves in spring at the time of flowering and before the new leaves have flushed, but are otherwise annual evergreens.
Coriaria angustissima, C. plumosa, C. pottsiana, and C. sarmentosa are rhizomatous subshrubs in which the above-ground stem and leaves die back completely in winter. They are rarely included in lists of indigenous deciduous trees and shrubs because they have a herblike appearance. However, they have woody rootstocks and should be regarded as deciduous.
For more information about deciduous trees see:McGlone et al. 2004. Winter leaf loss in the New Zealand woody flora. New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2004, Vol. 42: 1-19.
There are only a very few native plants in NZ poisonous to humans and/or stock. There are far more poisonous exotic plants in gardens and naturalised in the wild. See the Poisonous plants section of this website.
Poisonous native plants include: karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus), kōwhai (Sophora species), tītoki (Alectryon excelsus), ngaio (Myoporum laetum) poroporo (Solanum aviculare and Solanum laciniatum), tūrutu (Dianella nigra), New Zealand daphne (Pimelea prostrata), tutu (Coriaria species), waoriki (Ranunculus amphitrichus), ongaonga (Urtica ferox), and bracken fern (Pteridium esculentum). For more information see the Poisonous native plants section fo this website.
* Connor, H. E. 1951. The Poisonous Plants in New Zealand. New Zealand D.S.I.R. Bulletin: 99.
Kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides) is New Zealand's tallest indigenous tree. This is a distinctive tree of usually swampy alluvial terraces. Its main habitat is lowland forest. It was formerly dominant on frequently flooded, and/or poorly drained alluvial soils. Occasionally extends into lower montane forest. Once the dominant tree of a distinct swamp forest type all but extinct in the North Island - the best examples remain on the West Coast of the South Island. For more information see the species fact sheet - click here
New Zealand's smallest vascular plant is Water meal (Wolffia australiana) a minute aquatic plant.
Other tiny plants are the pygmy orchid (Ichthyostomum pygmaeum) which grows epiphytically on tree trunks, iti (Cardamine lacustris), the forget-me-nots (Myosotis pygmaea var. minutiflora and M. pygmaea var. pygmaea), Gentiana lilliputiana, several pygmy weeds (Crassula species), Petrie's starwort (Callitriche petriei subsp. petriei), and Stackhousia minima. The smallest grass is pincushion grass Agrostis muscosa and the smallest sedge, at only 6mm tall, is Isolepis basilaris. Most of New Zealand's non-vascular plants tiny, and some are only visible with a hand lens.
The male inflorescences of Dactylanthus taylorii each contain up to 1.6 ml of nectar (Ecroyd 1996). The nectar in dactylanthus flowers attracts its pollinator, the short-tailed bat. More information about Dactylanthus taylori is included on the Network fact sheet.
According to the Guiness Book of Records, one of the rarest trees in the world is New Zealand's Pennantia baylisiana with just one specimen growing in the wild. The species was discovered by Geoffrey Baylis on the Great Island of the Three Kings Group in 1945. Baylis took a cutting that he grew in Dunedin, and since then other trees have been cultivated in gardens. It has large glossy leaves, and looks rather like a karaka. There is still just this single tree growing wild on the Three Kings.
To see native plants near to towns or cities visit your local botanic gardens or specialist native plant nursery. These places label their plants so you can learn their names. You can also visit your local herbarium to view pressed specimens. Ask your local or regional council if they manage a reserve with an interpretive, labelled, walk. There are also reserves, national parks and conservation areas throughout the country managed by the Department of Conservation. Contact your local Department of Conservation office for more information or visit their website - www.doc.govt.nz
Geckos visit flowers of several native plant species for nectar and pollen (e.g., pohutukawa and flax). New Zealand herpetologist Tony Whitaker has also shown that both skinks and geckos are also seed dispersers of many native New Zealand plants. Today the lizard fauna has declined so much that lizard and plant interactions are now only easily observed on predator free offshore islands.
New Zealand has only one fully parasitic flowering plant, Dactylanthus taylorii, which grows under the ground attached to the roots of a host tree. It takes all its sustenance from its host. New Zealand also has eight mistletoes which are stem hemi-parasites. They have green leaves and make their own food through photosynthesis but use a host tree or shrub to obtain water.
New Zealand has just over 100 species of orchids in almost 40. Orchids are highly represented in threatened plant categories as they are vulnerable to habitat loss e.g., clearing of scrub and draining of wetlands. View the Orchid section of this website for more infromation.
New Zealand's has only one mangrove, Avicennia marina subsp. australasica. This is the most southerly growing mangrove in the world. This sub-species is native to New Zealand, but is also found naturally in south-eastern Australia and Lord Howe Island. For more information about this species read the Network factsheet.
Climate change is likely to have a diverse range of impacts on New Zealand's flora either directly by creating conditions not conducive to survival and reproduction or exacerbating impacts of invasive species. Plants at their distributional limits, or higher altitudes, may be more affected. Understanding the ecology of threatened plants is a key requirement to managing populations in the light of climate change. The MWH sponsored national seed bank is one project which the Network believes will assist protecting threatened plants in the light of a changing and unpredictable climate.
Kauri or Kauri pine (Agathis australis) is not currently listed as threatened in New Zealand. Some stands of kauri on private land remain vulnerable to illegal logging, while trees are still periodically removed (although only by permit or with approval) for cultural purposes, such as for making waka (canoes) or other Maori buildings and structures. Some small southerly populations are rather vulnerable to goat browse destroying regenerating seedlings and saplings. For more information about kauri read the Network fact sheet.
Native toetoe (Cortaderia toetoe) is easily identified by its stout, erect, densely feather-like flower head, and ivory leaf sheaths. Native toetoe is easily distinguished from the South American Pampas grass species by their spring-flowering, rather than autumn flowering habit, waxy leaf sheaths, and by the dead leaves which fold longitudinally and separate at the joints. The South American species curl up toward the leaf base, ultimately decaying to a state resembling wood shavings. For more information about native toetoe click here to see the Network fact sheet.
