Gardening News: Hummingbirds are back: How to attract them to your yard
By Peggy Doty
University of Illinois Extension Ogle County Extension Educator, Energy & Environmental Stewardship
OREGON, Ill. — Each spring, the ruby-throated hummingbird makes its long flight back to the United States from its wintering habitat in South America.
Those who are now seeing this flashy jewel may notice only males have arrived thus far. Males, the ones with the ruby-colored throat, come back before the females to stake out territories and wait for a potential mate to return for the summer. You cannot make a mistake in identifying this bird, as it is the only species of hummingbird, out of about 15 in the U.S., found in Illinois.
At less than an ounce, the hummingbird is our smallest bird. They can consume twice their body weight daily. This energy allows them to continue the rigorous flight patterns for which they are known.
The hummingbird beats its wings 90 to 200 times per second, creating their humming sound. The nest is the size of a thimble, and is often created with lichen from trees held together by spiderwebs. The two petite eggs laid in the nest are a pearly white.
To capture the eye of your migrant hummingbirds, and keep them around until garden flowers are blooming in mass, you may want to create a feeding station. Make a sugar water solution of four parts water to one part sugar and heat it on the stove until all the sugar is dissolved. Don't let it come to a boil.
Cool the mixture and put it into a feeder specifically for hummingbirds. There is no need to fill them full, as you need to clean them each week.
The rest of your mixture can be stored in the refrigerator. Keep your containers clean using a mild vinegar and water solution to discourage any mold in the bottles. It is not necessary to use red food coloring, as most feeders have red on them.
Planting lots of warm-colored tubular flowers, such as impatiens, petunias, honey suckle, nasturtiums and columbine is the best way to keep the ruby-throated hummingbirds in your yard. Hummingbirds are also attracted to moving water such as waterfalls, fountains and especially misters.
Nothing is more exciting than the first arrival of such a tiny character to your yard. Plant, feed, water and enjoy the ruby-throated hummingbirds in your yard for the whole summer.

Central Ohio Group Says Immigrant Reform Not Big Enough
Officials estimate there are 30 to 40 thousand undocumented immigrants in Central Ohio who could be spared deportation under President Obama's reform order.
Which teams do you think will make it to the final rounds in New Orleans and Denver?
The OSU football team ends a tumultuous season tonight when it takes on Florida in the Gator Bowl. Are you excited about tonight's bowl game?
A federal judge Wednesday handed down a three-year sentence to the tattoo parlor owner whose purchase of Ohio State University football memorabilia triggered a far-reaching football scandal and an ongoing NCAA investigation.
After last week's loss to Miami and the off –the-field problems, have you already lost hope for a successful OSU football season?
Last weekend's 24-6 drubbing by Miami knocked the Buckeyes out of the top 25 for the first time in seven years.
If you're tired of hearing public opinion polls about the presidential race, this next story might be refreshing. It's about a poll…but it doesn't have anything to do with politics. It's about Ohio SPORTS….and the big winners ARE — the Ohio State University Buckeyes.
Speculation turned into confirmation Sunday night for Ohio State football fans when the Bowl Championship Series games were announced. This is the second year in a row the Bucks will have a shot at bringing home a national title. While Sunday's announcement prompted many OSU fans to buy bowl packages, it caused others to request a refund.
The Ohio State Buckeyes had a shot at their first national basketball championship in 45 years last night. But the Florida Gators snatched that chance away, just as they did three months ago when the two schools met for football's collegiate championship. Florida beat Ohio State 84 to 75.
Ohio State faces off against Georgetown this Saturday in the NCAA Final Four. In Washington, watchdogs are using the event to point out what they see as an unfair advantage for the Buckeyes. Not on the court, but in lobbying the halls of Congress. Click on the icon to hear the story.
Nearly 106,000 fans packed Ohio Stadium to see the Ohio State Buckeyes defeat the Michigan Wolverines 42 to 39. Police say there were about 40 arrests and dozens of fires were reported afterward. But it was nothing like the post-game rioting that followed the OSU Michigan game in 2002.

I recently had the pleasure of talking with Amichai Lourie of Shiloh Winery. We discussed everything from his vineyard's recent success at Israel's Golden Cluster Wine awards to what goes into a perfectly blended wine. Before we learn about Ami and Shiloh, however, I want to take some time to discuss the topography and history of the region.
Shiloh has been one of the world's top wine making regions since the biblical era. The intense heat and high altitude are ideal for growing concentrated and flavorful grapes. The cool nights help preserve the grapes until they are ready to be picked and turned into wine. It is not uncommon to see modern vineyards side by side with 6,000 year old grape presses in Shiloh.
This is part of what makes the Shiloh Winery story so interesting. Although they are located in one of the world's oldest and most traditional wine regions, they create wines that are entirely unique.
Although some vineyards use blending as a way to get rid of the odds and ends, Ami takes his blending very seriously. When asked why his Bordeaux blend (which is wildly popular) had only come out 3 of the past 6 years, he said the grapes just weren't right in the years it didn't come out. Ami is the kind of person who respects the grapes –if they tell him not to make a Bordeaux he won't force it. It is also the reason that new blends are always coming out of Shiloh. Ami is always trying to surprise people with new varietals, unique blends and unorthodox aging methods. He is guided by his grapes. Ami works almost exclusively with French and American oak barrels. He doesn't like using metal vats, because why miss a chance to impart more flavor?
Even traditionalists can find a home at Shiloh Vineyards. The Shiraz, the Merlot and the Cabernet are fairly in line with what most people would consider the typical flavor profile of their varietals, but with something extra. Ami describes it this way; "a good chef doesn't necessarily invent new food. He takes a dish you know and makes it different enough, unique enough, while still holding true to the original. I like to think that our more traditional wines hold true to their varietals but they are bigger, more expansive. We have added to them while keeping them instantly recognizable."
What do the critics think about all this, especially in such a traditional winemaking region? Another thing Ami said was "The wine speaks for itself." Apparently he is not alone in thinking that because Shiloh is the only vineyard to sweep the Golden Cluster in all three major categories winning with the Shiloh Secret Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Secret Reserve Merlot, and Secret Reserve Shiraz. That all but silenced the critics.
Now that you are excited about Shiloh Wines let's discuss some entry points into the brand. The Legend is the most cost effective series and for the price I don't think you can find a better wine. The Shor collection is also affordable and offers rich, complex and unique wines. Adventurous oenophiles love the Shor series because it is full of surprises! When asked about the vineyard's flagship, Ami directed me to the Mosaic. This is a bit pricier but each variety is so unique and exceptional. The depth of flavors is breathtaking making the Mosaic is well worth the price.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The buzz around Starbucks lately isn't just from the coffee. A request from the head of the company is fueling a Venti-sized debate.
Keep your guns out of Starbucks. That's what the company's CEO is asking. This story has a lot of you talking and fired up on our WINK News Facebook page.
"We just believe that our customers and our people will be much more comfortable if guns are not part of the Starbucks experience," Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said.
Wednesday, Schultz released an open letter saying, "we are respectfully requesting that customers no longer bring firearms into our stores or outdoor seating areas - even in states where 'open carry' is permitted - unless they are authorized law enforcement personnel."
Thursday, the company will run full-page ads in major newspapers making it clear that guns are not welcome either inside Starbucks chains or at outdoor seating areas.
Carla Mae Rasmussen says it's the right move. "I think it should be that way due to the fact that you can not go into airports or school grounds, and with the chaos going on today, it shouldn't happen," Rasmussen said.
"Guns, they are dangerous, harmful," Eugenio Secala said. "People that carry, I feel they are bearing danger."
On the other hand, Heather Hitz thinks it's an issue of freedom. "A lot of times, I think it is personal preference, it's your amendment," Hitz said. "If you do have a permit you should be able to carry a gun if you want to."
This isn't the first time a company has gotten political. Last year, people in Southwest Florida and around the nation protested Chik-Fil-A after an executive revealed the fast food chain does not support gay marriage.
Schultz said this is not a rule, simply a request. Their policy has always been to follow local gun laws. In Florida it's against the law to openly carry a firearm or to carry a concealed firearm unless you have a license.
Starbucks has no plans of enforcement. Schultz said they will still serve everyone.

The policy provides many benefits to customers as standard, including an annual discount for teachers and NUT members (up to 12%), cover for school equipment in and away from the home, accidental damage cover at no extra cost and no compulsory excesses on all claims bar subsidence. Teachers Assurance customers can also spread annual premiums over 12 monthly direct debits, and pay no interest.
Abby Bowman, head of brand at Teachers Assurance believes the new rating adds great weight to the Teachers Assurance Home Insurance policy. "We understand that our customers would like the best possible cover on the market without paying extremely high premiums. Our home insurance has always been designed with teachers in mind, but recently we conducted vital research that provided us with insight into what is important to them. Teachers told us that they wanted reduced excesses and no administration fees, both of which have been factored into our new policy. We believe the additions we've made to our home insurance policy make it one of the best on the market."
Defaqto is an independent financial research and software company specialising in rating, comparing and analysing financial products and funds. It assesses the features and benefits offered by all policies on the market and awards each an easy-to-understand star rating. Star ratings award a product or proposition a rating of 1 to 5, depending on the quality and comprehensiveness of the features it offers. A 5 star rating indicates that a product or proposition represents one of the best quality offerings in the market.
Mike Powell, insight analyst for general insurance at Defaqto commented on the home insurance policy launch: "When insuring their home it is essential that people match the features and benefits they require with those offered by the product they choose. If consumers focus on price alone they can run the risk of buying an inappropriate product that doesn't meet their needs – and they are only likely to discover this when they need to make a claim.
"Our star ratings provide an independent rating of the level of features and benefits offered by all home insurance policies on the market. They provide an at a glance view of where products sit in the market in terms of feature quality and comprehensiveness – with the aim of supporting consumers' financial decision making process. 5 atar rated products, such as the one offered by Teachers Assurance, are among the best quality propositions on the market."
Teachers Assurance offers a range of savings, investment, home insurance, health and life cover products for individuals and families that are designed with teachers in mind. If you'd like to find out more about the Defaqto 5 star rated home insurance policy and discuss your home insurance requirements, you can call on 0800 378 722 or visit our website.

A service organization outing for fathers and sons to a Baltimore Orioles game didn't stop Davie Jane Gilmour from joining her dad at the ballpark when she was a little girl. Decades later, Gilmour is setting a precedent for Little League baseball, too. Nearly 40 years after girls were allowed to officially play Little League, Gilmour is the first woman to lead the Board of Directors for the youth sports organization. It's the highest-profile leadership position held by a woman at Little League - which is most known for its World Series played primarily by boys ages 11-13. ''It's just one of those things of circumstances,'' said Gilmour, 58, the president of the Pennsylvania College of Technology, in Williamsport. ''When I look around, I'm often the first, or one of the first women on a board, because of there are still (smaller) proportions of women in leadership communities and organizations.'' One of Gilmour's first official...

With record-high animal prices and now much lower feed prices, profit margins for the animal industries have risen to strongly favorable levels, Hurt said.Read more on Farmandranchguide

Zack:"Hey Chet, looking greasy today." "Thanks Marc, hey want to go hang out in a log cabin? Sure!"
Dr. Thorpe:The most disturbing thing is that the guy on the right is wearing slacks and a tie under that thing. Even back in the seventies, can you imagine showing up at the office with a silly crocheted cardigan? Your boss would just give you that "get out" look.
Zack:It's like Mr. Roger's sweater has been tye-died by a cold and uncaring hippie computer.
Dr. Thorpe:The man on the left is really frightening. He looks like he lost his face in an accident and they created a new one with leather and silly putty and then put some huge hair over it to cover the seams.
Zack:I think that he's just wearing the William Shatner mask from Halloween that has been covered with bronzer to make it seem lifelike. Obviously a failed attempt. There's something childishly mischievous about these two guys though. Their grins, their poses, their garish sweaters; whatever it is they seem like they're about to trick someone into whitewashing that fence behind them so that they can go skip stones.
Dr. Thorpe:If you look really closely you can see that the sweater-vest is called "Dark Shadows." I think that instead of skipping stones they're going to go try out for bit parts on ultra-low-budget vampire soap operas.
Zack:That makes sense. That guy on the left looks like he was made for that creepy poorly-lit video they used back then.
Dr. Thorpe:It's easy to imagine the sickening slurp when he pops that face off and puts it on his nightstand at the end of the day.
Zack:That #206 sticker up in the corner is making me suspect that this might have been entered into evidence somewhere.
Dr. Thorpe:Oh wait just a goddamn minute! Do you remember those Calvin Klein ads with the underage kids in the creepy wood-paneled rec rooms, and the guys in the background would say "do you work out? take your shirt off." These are those guys in the background.
Zack:That follows with the evidence sticker. This might be the very photo that got these two convicted.
Dr. Thorpe:We've looked through a magic portal to the other side of the creepy Calvin Klein ads. I feel like I've just had a sickening epiphany.
Zack:It's like walking in on your parents having sex or realizing that red food coloring is made from beetle wings.
Dr. Thorpe:Or maybe that feeling is just me getting dizzy from looking at the "Blue Skies" cardigan.
Zack:Warning: sweater may cause vertigo.
Dr. Thorpe:They both look like the sort of manly baritone pop singers that were popular back then. They were masculine but a little bit effete, and they sang songs about tiny bubbles in their wine and had names like Englebert Humperdinck.

Fashion SWAT... the fashion industry is obsessed with impracticality. We know that what designers create was never meant to be worn by the grimy masses, but that doesn't somehow diminish how ridiculous many of these costumes are. Make no mistake, they are costumes, and like a Halloween prize pageant we will turn our discerning gaze on the grievous fashion misfires of Paris, Milan, and New York.

The Test match-watching experience has changed over the years - the players' faces are obscured, the grounds are more coldly impersonal - but the buzz of a big game remains
David Frith
August 11, 2011
Unless you're unfortunate enough to enter a Test cricket ground during one of the more noisy and unruly patches of play, there are similarities to entering a temple of worship.
The crazy world outside can persist in its frenzy. We have entered a very special zone, where all that concerns us - apart from any expressions of partisanship - is the rhythm of the cricket, the artistry of the players (interrupted only by their occasional silly errors), and not least, the pleasure of conversation with friends and strangers alike.
It is not quite as personal and intimate as it used to be. Many decades ago, when I began watching Test cricket, batsmen and fielders wore caps or sun hats or nothing at all on their heads, and you could see clearly who they were. Their shirts and flannels were untouched by advertisements. They seemed almost like us rather than warriors concealed behind sponsored armour.
But you get used to most things, and while I cherish colourful remembered images of Keith Miller, Neil Harvey and Ray Lindwall from the 1950s, I've relished the arrival of fresh generations of new faces, some of whom have risen to legendary status. Hutton, Compton, Laker, Trueman, Weekes and Worrell have been followed by Pollock, Sobers, Benaud, Davidson and O'Neill, and the stars of the 1970s, a decade that gave rise to helmets and the lamentable concealment of personality.
From then onwards you had to rely on body shape and movement, with the scoreboard sometimes helping identification. With the Packer revolution in the late 1970s, cricket was turned into a more coarse and grossly commercial pursuit. What I'm saying, I suppose, is that crucial and precious elements of the game died for me when batsmen began to conceal themselves.
Devout cricket lovers will never be driven away. I have watched Test matches around the world, and hundreds more on television, and been gripped hour after countless hour. There was never a danger that I'd walk away from the game that first bit me when I was still in short trousers. I will confess, though, that I have a quiet snigger when I try to picture the head of WG Grace or Jack Hobbs concealed in a helmet. With Don Bradman it's different. He told me he'd have worn one, at least during the 1932-33 Bodyline series, had they been in vogue then. He was a very practical man.
|The Melbourne Cricket Ground, for all its careful acknowledgement of history it has simply become too large. From the top of the Great Southern Stand, the players are mere dots. All intimacy has gone
So much for the people out in the middle who are paid to entertain us as they fight for their countries' honour and for their own careers in their globetrotting. What about the venues, the stadiums large and small, that stage the matches? Here again sentiment plays a part.
One sound reason for going to the cricket is to meet old friends and make new ones. Who doesn't retain a special place in his heart for the ground where he was inducted into this strange ritual called Test cricket? For me the elegant Sydney Cricket Ground (before its sweeping concrete developments) was a paradise. It remained little altered during the 20th century, and the barracking used to be genuinely funny. "Tie ya bat to ya leg, Parfitt!" bellowed one chap from the Hill as the England left-hander padded Benaud away over after over. "Yeah, Dexter, what about the Common Market!" was a topical, political and puzzling shout during the 1962-63 Ashes tour.
But whatever noise was generated at the SCG was nothing when compared to the roar at Eden Gardens, Calcutta during the 1987 World Cup final. And that was for a match that didn't even feature India. Same went for the Madras ground two years earlier when Fowler and Gatting made double-centuries and the latter gave the local cricket lovers their first glimpse of the reverse sweep. I shall never forget the gasps of amazement flowing across the seating in the stands.
During a big match you hope that followers from both sides will fraternise and go home happier for the experience. It has warmed my heart to see English and Australian fans share a joke and a beer during and after serious matches. How often should we remind ourselves that it's only a game? That may sound naïve, and I'll admit to having been caught up myself sometimes in national fervour. However, I must plead that it's always the other bloke who starts it.
I've had particular problems with the West Indies bouncer bowlers of the 1980s, and Michael Holding is not happy about it, resenting the lack of appreciation. The five or six short-pitched balls each over, the absence of slow bowling, and the plight of batsmen who could only duck or play off the back foot wrecked much of my viewing for 15 years. The crowd noise was deafening in the Caribbean grounds and in England too, where West Indian fans filled the terraces. I'd been delighted by the West Indians of the Worrell and Sobers eras, but this ceaseless bouncer barrage, with 40 batsmen consigned to hospital between 1976 and 1990, was anathema. Fortunately it ended, and I began to look forward again to going to the cricket.
Lord's is spotless almost to a clinical degree and sometimes feels rather starchy, though there is a welcome sense of peace and orderliness. The Oval used to be attractively shabby, unpretentious, and an enjoyable place to relax. Now it's heavy with flak-jacketed stewards whose brief seems to be to spoil one's day. Give me friendly old Trent Bridge any time: rosy-cheeked and pipe-smoking (the men), a welcoming arena that has been developed tastefully, with the spirits of Larwood and Voce available to those with imagination.
It was all the more surprising to find that another elegant ground, Adelaide Oval, has thrown preservation to the wind under the influence of local football finances, although at least the evocative old scoreboard is protected by a preservation order. As for the Melbourne Cricket Ground, venue of cricket's all-time greatest gathering, for the 1977 Centenary Test, for all its careful acknowledgement of history it has simply become too large. From the top of the Great Southern Stand, the players are mere dots. All intimacy has gone.
But nowhere has the cricket-watching experience changed more than at Brisbane's Gabba ground. I remember it for its ramshackle stands and barbed-wire enclosures, with glorious red poinciana and pale-blue jacaranda trees. Today it is a giant concrete bowl. They could at least somehow have left one of the trees on view. As for the traditional Queensland friendliness, last year I moved into an almost deserted stand to chat to a friend but was told by a grossly overweight uniformed steward that I couldn't sit there. Move on.
All of which persuades a man that the best cricket-watching now might well be at the scenic grounds such as Arundel in Sussex or Cheltenham College in Gloucestershire. Deck chair, a smouldering pipe, perhaps a brief snooze. That's fine for a while. And yet I think I'd soon be yearning again for the big buzz of a Test match, albeit with its faceless gladiators.
