I've always been fascinated with my heritage. Growing up, I pored through my grandmother's old photo albums of her German ancestors and my grandfather's Bohemian ones. Grandma showed me how to bake bread and use an old-fashioned "ringer" washing machine. I loved her stories of "the olden days" … full of hard work, family and simple, homemade pleasures. Yes, the Little House on the Prairie book series was (and still is) one of my favorites.
In today's busy world of modern luxuries and modern challenges, we could all benefit from taking a few steps back into that pioneer world and creating a simpler life for ourselves!
So what is a modern pioneer?
If you're interested in this website, it's you!
I hope you'll enjoy reading as I explore ways to honor my ancestors and explore my heritage while living practically in today's fast-paced world. I'm passionate about the modern pioneer topics you'll find on these pages, and I bet some of you are as well! Let's share these contemporary, old-fashioned experiences together!

Really delighted you gentlemen we meet this Replica IWC Da Vinci Automatic IW4523-11 Watch is adequate refreshing and high-end ambiance on low-end luxury content material, I constantly hope that each product can make everybody appreciate it, but radish vegetables appreciate.
This exquisite model is usually a a lot more wearable than other Replica IWC Da Vinci wristwatches and this can be not merely simply because of its smaller sized size, but in addition because of its less weight. This line comprises 3 models in stainless steel and one particular luxury version in 18-karat rose gold. Each and every of those four models is housed inside a tonneau-shaped case which measures 35.six mm x 42.five mm and it is only ten.9 mm thick.
The Replica IWC Da Vinci Automatic is powered by the impeccable IWC Caliber 30130 automatic movement. The self-winding movement built on 22 jewels beats in the rapid frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). The mechanism is capable of holding no significantly less than 42 hours of energy reserve when completely wound.
The case of Replica IWC Da Vinci Automatic timepiece is shielded on both sides by anti-reflective, convex sapphire crystals. The case building gives 30 meters of water resistance which makes this watch appropriate for showering or swimming in shallow water.
Replica IWC Da Vinci Underneath the front sapphire glass, there is a clearly legible dial with an appealing and really massive date window which can be situated at the 3 o'clock position. Its beautiful dial also has Arabic numerals 6 and 12, too as applied hour markers.


Okay, so to title this post 'A Casual Sunday Outfit' is probably a bit of a cop-opt, considering the fact that every look I churn out is hardly black-tie appropriate. Good job I'm not heading to any black-tie events in the future though, huh? I still haven't stopped wearing my fedora - in case you haven't already noticed - and these boots are kind of a new/old addition too. They were the first ever freebie I got from blogging, and they're still going strong. If that doesn't spell out 'good quality' then I don't know what does. What's your oldest item in your wardrobe?


We all love our home wherever it is, but let's face it – the mountains are a special place indeed. With their snowy peaks, their grand vistas, and their fresh mountain air, there is no better place to be. And those who live in the mountains are fiercely proud of their home, while others only wish they could live in such an amazing place. Well, whether you live in a mountainous region, have a cabin in the mountains, or dream of living there one day, you will absolutely love our Home Is Where The Mountains Are stencil.
Just imagine this incredible design as the centerpiece of your room's décor, stenciled right onto the wall. You can do that and more with the Home Is Where The Mountains Are stencil. If you want to scale things down, then create a piece of metal, wood, or canvas art to hang inside or outside your home or mountain cabin.
The best part is this stencil is so simple to use and reuse. It's laser-cut for precision, ensuring a professional image every time, and you can use it for years to come. Just secure the stencil and paint, using the right paint for the medium. Then all you need to do is wash it and store it somewhere safe until you need it again.

Houston Authorities Target Rise in Road Rage Amid Pandemic
By Juan A. Lozano	• Published December 8, 2020 • Updated on December 8, 2020 at 8:17 pm
Houston-area authorities announced Tuesday a new task force to combat a more than 30% rise in road rage incidents this year, an increase that officials are blaming in part on the ongoing stress during the coronavirus pandemic.
The rise in road rage incidents coincides with an overall increase in violent crime in Houston during the pandemic, including a homicide rate that could be the city's highest in nearly 30 years.
"We're not psychologists here at the Houston police department ... but we do know that COVID has had an impact on the collective psyche of the American people," said Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo. "We know that we've seen a rise across the nation in violent crime. We know we've seen a rise in domestic violence."
More than 200 road rage incidents in which someone was shot have occurred during the first 10 months of this year, compared to 150 during the same period a year ago, Acevedo said.
Six of these road rage incidents this year have resulted in murder.
The most recent road rage incident in the Houston area occurred on Friday. One man was shot following a minor traffic accident, said Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. The man remains in critical condition.
"This year has been very difficult, and there's been a lot of loss both in our community and our nation, and we shouldn't be compounding that suffering with unnecessary carnage on our roadways," Gonzalez said.
Houston police, along with the sheriff's office and other agencies planned to have additional officers on roadways to target aggressive drivers and arrest individuals for reckless driving.
In any road rage cases where a gun is used, authorities will also work to seize vehicles from those arrested, said Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg.
The rise in road rage incidents comes as Houston and other cities around the country have seen an increase in violent crime this year amid the pandemic.
Houston authorities have also partially blamed the rise in crime this year on other issues, including rising drug and gang activity and bail reform efforts they allege have resulted in the release of violent offenders.
In Houston, Acevedo predicted the city could have more than 400 murders by the end of the year. The last time Houston recorded more than 400 murders was in 1993, with 446 homicides.
Family violence crimes were up by 31% this year compared to last, while such crimes committed with firearms were up 41%, according to data reported last month by Houston police.
The spike in crime across the country has defied an easy explanation, according to experts. They have pointed to the pandemic, high unemployment and stay-at-home orders as some of the reasons.
A recent report by the nonpartisan criminal justice think tank Council on Criminal Justice examined crime rates for 28 U.S. cities. It found that homicide rates increased by 42% during the summer and 34% in the fall compared to the summer and fall of 2019. Aggravated assaults went up by 15% in the summer and 13% in the fall of 2020, while gun assaults increased by 15% in the summer and 16% in the fall compared to the same period in 2019.
"Several evidence-based strategies are available to address the increase in violence but subduing the COVID-19 pandemic also remains a necessary condition for reducing violence," according to the report, which was released earlier this month.

BOLOGNA AND MODENA, the new app in the Art & Culture series, is something different in tourism: a cultural travel guide that offers comprehensive, expert coverage of all the sights and attractions, all the things to do and see, complete practical information and detailed maps.
BOLOGNA AND MODENA is the first and only app to cover in depth two of Italy's greatest and least-spoiled art cities. It's essential for exploring the richness of their histories and their vibrant life of today. We don't do hotels and restaurants and shopping; instead, we offer a cultural companion that can enrich your visit like no other guide.
The entire contents of Bologna + Modena Art & Culture is freely available. There are ads, but a single in-app purchase will remove them and upgrade the app to work offline.
More like a collection of recycled bunch of articles.
Noted European travel writers Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls have added another app to their series of Art and Culture city guides which have previously focused on Barcelona and Venice. This time the husband and wife team is off to Bologna and and its little sister city Modena. If you like slow food, fast cars or have a touch for the Baroque, then add Bologna and Modena to your itinerary.
The authors have made a smooth transition to the digital world supplying the same style, irreverent commentary, tales and historical perspective that have made them the favorites of iconoclastic travelers who have been guided over the years by their 40 plus printed books and numerous articles in the Sunday Times on the cities and regions in countries touching upon the Mediterranean Sea.
I particularly enjoyed a section on Etruscan art. Motor heads will undoubtedly want to check out the Ferrari and Lamborghini museums or the Museo Ducati for those preferring two wheelers. Historians, science buffs, those who appreciate a good cathedral and art aficionados won't be disappointed either. And who doesn't like Italian food.
With fascinating historical essays and timelines, beautiful images and photographs, helpful maps, transportation guides and an event calendar, this app can help you plan your trip and provide the background information to ensure you'll enjoy it more for less than the price of a quality espresso or a plate of tagliatelle. And if you're a foodie, or just want to learn more about Italian cuisine, you should check out their Italian Menu Decoder app too.

This was one of those cooks where everyone at the table said they wanted this again soon. Simple but utterly delicious. There's not much better than a lamb leg cooked hot and fast on the bbq to medium rare/ medium hot.
For this cook I definitely didn't want to over complicate things. I wanted the meat to do all of the talking but have some other nice flavours to back it up. The small leg joint was rubbed with pureed garlic, salt, pepper, mixed herbs. Started off by cooking the lamb indirect to the desired temperature. Added a little bit of silver birch wood for an added smokiness. Quick flash direct over the coals to crisp up the edges a little. The prawns were cooked very simply with some herbs and butter in the Lidl cast iron Pan. Done in no time at all and tasted fantastic. Granted this is not my best photography but trust me… it was good. I blame the food for my impatience actually.
Sure enough I have another lamb leg in the fridge right now. Can't wait to have this again.

"Jesus says to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us (Mat. 5:44). The Spirit of Jesus in the prophets and in the apostles also tells us that those who turn a blind eye to the killing of others are wrong. The fact that we feel contradictory praying both for justice against the Islamic State and for salvation for Islamic State terrorists is partly because we fail to distinguish between the mission of the state in the use of the temporal sword against evildoers (Rom. 13:4) and the mission of the church in the use of the sword of the Spirit against sin and death and the devil (Eph. 6). But that's not, I think, the main problem.
Their strategy for training young leaders is based on the life and ministry of Jesus and His disciples.
King Josiah began seeking God at age 16. By the time he was 26, God had used Josiah to bring revival to the land, rebuild the house of God, and restore the Word of God to its central place (2 Chronicles 34).

For the first time in history, since the inception of Islam, increasingly larger numbers of Muslims become Jesus followers, steadily increasing since the early 1990s. Since the Arab Spring in 2011, the numbers (in comparison to the last 1400 years) increased dramatically.
Missionaries and Christians in these nations contribute this increase mainly to a significant increase in prayer – from around the world but also from Christians in Muslim Majority nations.

Remo Lienhard (Wes21)
Born in: 1988 Switzerland
Switzerland Born in: 1988
Remo Lienhardt grew up in Biel, Switzerland, experimenting with the spray can at a very young age and soon gaining a strong reputation in the scene. In 2010 he completed training at the College of Design in Biel and has since then applied himself to producing art and working on various design jobs, including for music festivals. His live paintings have been an attraction at a number of different events. As part of the "Schwarzmaler" collective he produces visual projects in the graffiti scene.
The artist from Biel has found his own style early in his career. He has an ability to astonish the viewer with his motifs and the incredible precision of his spraying technique.Remo Lienhardt started out in the graffiti scene, though this is only seldom apparent in his work. That said, he works almost exclusively with a spray can. In recent years he has perfected his technique of producing high detail. Paint is applied, and before it dries it is "processed" using different implements.
This technique makes it possible to conjure up incredible effects in a painting. Remo Lienhardt intends to make a strong impression and is willing to go to any length to do so. For example, he has sometimes incorporated LED bulbs into his works in order to create a realistic effect. Photorealistic depictions of often illusory creatures captivate the viewer with an accuracy of perspectives, astonishing shaping and harmonious composition.
A particular focus of the artist's works is the combination of nature and industry. Animals mix with devices and industrial products in a process of metamorphosis. The viewer is made to feel uncertain: have nature and industry harmonized, or is the process taking some other direction? Every picture contains a story on a simpler level that rekindles and inspires the imagination. He has also begun to transform some of his fantastical figures into sculptures.

Q: how to represent multiplicty of prime factor in factorization in python I code this function factorization(n)... like below
def factorization(n):
    factor=[]
    for i in range(2,n+1):
        while n % i == 0:
            n = n/i
            factor.append(i)
        print(factor)

and if you write this
factorization(180) = [2,2,3,3,5]
but i want to print this format:
180 = 2^2 x 3^2 x 5
but i cant make it.
i think 'list counting' is useful but i don't know how to use it correctly the number of each factor, and format it.

A: You can use collections.Counter: https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.html#collections.Counter
from collections import Counter

counts = Counter(factorization(180))
counts[2]
counts[3]

A: Using vanilla python & some formatting:
def factorization(n):
    factor = []
    for i in range(2, n + 1):
        while n % i == 0:
            n = n / i
            factor.append(i)
    print('*'.join(f'{n}' + (f'^{factor.count(n)}' if factor.count(n) > 1 else '') for n in set(factor)))

factorization(180)

Prints:
2^2*3^2*5

Hopefully everyone had a safe and fun 4th. I ended up going to Doheny Beach in Dana Point for the 4th of July with Best Friend, my sisters and brother-in-law. We had a little picnic and then watched the fireworks.
The traffic up PCH on our walk back to the car was insane!


RWP at ALA: Librarians Love Comics and Graphic Novels!
We had an engaging, wide-ranging discussion about educational comics with an audience of enthusiastic and supportive librarians. Below you will find links to each resource mentioned during the panel, as well as a few more!
Engagement: Text imparts meaning through the reader's active engagement with written language.
Efficiency: The comic format conveys large amounts of information in a short time.
Effectiveness: Processing text and images together leads to better recall and transfer of learning.
It always strikes me as supremely odd that high culture venerates the written word on the one hand, and the fine visual arts on the other. Yet somehow putting the two together is dismissed as juvenilia. Why is that? Why can't these forms of art go together like music and dance?

As a small business owner the best thing about running your own business will often be that you are in control, you are the boss and you are in charge of looking after the baby that is your business. By running your own business you have the ability to set your own working hours, create your own business strategy, regulate your workload and determine how much you will charge and how much you will earn.
When you run your own business you are the master of all these things and this can offer a very liberating and wonderful feeling.
However it can also be what stops you delegating and this can stop the growth of your business. We have come across new and small business owners who often feel overworked, tired and stressed and this tends to be down to the reluctance to delegate and allow others to help out in the business.
After all, who can possibly know your business as well as you do and be able to care for it and love it in the way you do?
The thing is the people that you can delegate work to don't need to be able to know your business inside and out when they start; they just need to be skilled in their area of expertise. For example, you may not be able to design a website, but a website designer can understand your business and use their skills and expertise to create a first class website for you, allowing you to get on with what you are good at – running your business.
The same goes for an accountant; while an accountant may not understand your business as well as you do, they will get to know it better over time and they can bring a fresh pair of eyes to your business.

British citizenship and citizenship ceremonies
Coronavirus restrictions at citizenship ceremonies
Citizenship ceremonies are going ahead but in a slightly different form just now, in line with government restrictions. For example, no guests or dignitaries are invited and we are unable to serve food or drink at the ceremonies.
Information about how to apply for British citizenship
There are certain requirements you must meet before you can apply for British Citizenship.
To find out if you are eligible to apply, please visit the United Kingdom Border Agency website.
Apply for British citizenship
The United Kingdom Border Agency website lists the different types of citizenship that you can apply for, and the three ways you can apply. The website also explains the costs involved in applying.
What happens after citizenship is granted
If your application for British citizenship is successful and you are living in the United Kingdom, you will be invited to attend a citizenship ceremony.
You will receive a letter of invitation from the United Kingdom Border Agency confirming the local authority that you have chosen and asking you to arrange a suitable ceremony date. You should arrange your ceremony within three months of receiving your invitation letter, otherwise you will have to reapply for naturalisation and pay another processing fee.
In Renfrewshire, we have group citizenship ceremonies approximately every 6-8 weeks. If you are unable to attend a group citizenship ceremony, we can offer a private citizenship ceremony at a more convenient and suitable date and time. This will cost the new citizen £61. A single ceremony would normally only be offered if the citizen was out of the country at the time of the group ceremony.
Book your citizenship ceremony
When you receive your invitation letter from the United Kingdom Borders Agency you will be advised to contact the Renfrewshire Council's Customer Service Unit on 0300 3000 310.
the telephone number of the new citizen
the first name and surname of the guests that you would like to invite, up to a maximum of four guests
a copy of the citizenship invitation letter that you received from the United Kingdom Border Agency
to know whether you have chosen to repeat the oath of allegiance or affirmation of allegiance at your citizenship ceremony.
Approximately two weeks before the ceremony, you will get a letter from the Registration Service confirming the date and time of the ceremony along with the invitations for the guests that you have invited.
Who comes to the citizenship ceremony
In Renfrewshire, the Provost - or in her absence, the Depute Provost - will be invited to attend the citizenship ceremony along with the elected members (local Councillors) of the electoral ward in which the new citizen is a resident.
What happens at the citizenship ceremony in Renfrewshire
On arrival, you will be met by the registrar who will be conducting the ceremony.
You will be required to produce the invitation letter you received from the United Kingdom Borders Agency and the letter and invitation you received from the Registration Service to confirm your identity.
You and your guests will be shown to your seats within the marriage suite at Renfrewshire House, Cotton Street, Paisley.
You, your guests and invited elected members (local Councillors) will then be asked to stand for the national anthem. When the national anthem ends, the registrar conducting the ceremony will ask everyone assembled to be seated.
The registrar will welcome everyone and introduce the ceremony. The registrar will invite the Provost/Depute Provost of Renfrewshire or if they are unable to attend a Local Councillor or a senior member of Finance and Resources of Renfrewshire Council to come forward and give a welcome speech.
Any new citizens that have chosen to make the oath of allegiance are asked to be upstanding and, following on with the registrar's lead, make the oath of allegiance. After finishing, they are asked to be seated.
Any new citizens that have chosen to make the affirmation of allegiance are then asked to be upstanding and, following with the registrar's lead, make the affirmation of allegiance. After finishing, the group are asked to remain standing.
The registrar then asks the group as a whole to make the Pledge of Loyalty.
The ceremony finishes with the presentation of the certificate of naturalisation as a British citizen.
We also present our new British citizens with a small commemorative coin in a presentation box and you will receive a citizenship folder from the United Kingdom Borders Agency, which contains a welcome letter from the Home Secretary and a passport application form. We will also provide you with information on registering on the electoral roll.
Light refreshments will be served after the ceremony.

A bright little meadow skipper, called Hesperia mystic by W. H. Edwards in 1863. The name mystic was also proposed by Scudder (1862), and was credited to him for many years before finally being assigned to Edwards (Miller and Brown 1981: 213, N128). Both Edwards and Scudder followed the convention begun by Harris of naming new skipper species in honor of Native Americans. The final defeat of the Pequot Indians took place in Mystic, Connecticut in 1636, and this may have been why both W. H. Edwards and Scudder chose the name (Zerlin 1995).
Scudder wrote that "In New England it occurs everywhere," from the White Mountains and Maine to Cape Cod and New Haven. "There is hardly a local collection of any size which does not contain it...." It was less common in southern New England than northern, and "rather rarely found in the vicinity of Boston; nor have I taken it at Nantucket (1889: 1709)." He lists no specific locations, except Cape Cod. Perhaps its scarcity around Boston explains why Thaddeus Harris does not mention Long Dash or have it in his 1820-1850 collection. However, F. H. Sprague was able to take many specimens at Wollaston (Quincy) in 1878 --18 throughout June, and one on October 15 (Sprague 1879). About 1900, therefore, Long Dash appears to have been common, perhaps as common as Tawny-edged Skipper, but not as abundant as Peck's Skipper or Least Skipper.
Like most meadow skippers, Long Dash probably increased in Massachusetts after 1600 as land was cleared for settlement and agriculture (Table 1). After about 1850, during the period of urban and industrial development, much meadow habitat was lost in the state, and Long Dash and other skippers may well have suffered some decline (Table 2).
The number of 19th century New England Long Dash specimens preserved in museums is small, and probably underestimates the true abundance. As with other skippers, Sprague found specimens not only at his home collecting base in Wollaston near Boston (1878, 1883, and 1885), but also in Malden (1885), Braintree (1895), out in Montague (1885), and in the White Mountains, N. H. (1889). Dr. J. S. Bailey found it in Albany, N. Y. (1876) (specimens in Harvard MCZ). There are early 20th century specimens from Tyngsboro (1918), Weston and West Newton (1920's) (MCZ), and Milton (Yale).
By the 1930's Farquhar (1934) provides a fuller list of the many locations where Long Dash had been found. Farquhar apparently did not consider it as abundant as Peck's Skipper or Tawny-edged Skipper, species for which he did not think it worthwhile to list the numerous locations and specimens. He knew of Long Dash specimens from Malden, Worcester (Forbes), Milton, Marblehead (F. H. Walker), Lynn, Stoneham (C.V. Blackburn), Wollaston (F. H. Sprague), Braintree (F. H. Sprague), Gilbertville (near Ware) (D. W. Farquhar), Phillipston (H. H. Shepard), Amherst (H. H. Shepard), and Nantucket (C. W. Johnson). In 1936 C. L. and P. S. Remington collected it at Hockamock Swamp in Taunton, and in 1938 in a cranberry bog near Ellisville in Plymouth County (Yale Peabody Museum). In 1942 V. Nabokov collected it in Wellesley (MCZ).
In the 1930's and 1940's, Long Dash was "general and common" on Nantucket and "widely present in suitable areas" on Martha's Vineyard (Jones and Kimball 1943). Four specimens are in the Kimball Collection at the Maria Mitchell Museum on Nantucket. There is one F. M. Jones specimen from Martha's Vineyard at the MCZ (no date). On Cape Cod, Long Dash was collected at Barnstable in 1952 (C. P. Kimball, MCZ), and at Brewster in 1961 (D. S. Chambers, Yale).
In the 1960's Long Dash was first documented from Berkshire County: C. L. Remington collected it on October Mountain in Lee in 1965 (Yale Peabody Museum), and S. A. Hessel found it on October Mountain in 1966 (MCZ). Elsewhere, W. D. Winter found Long Dash in Westwood (1967,1972) and Dover (1973) in southeastern Massachusetts, as well as in Barre (1972 and Dunstable (1973) in north-central Massachusetts. J. M. Burns collected it in Dogtown, Gloucester, Essex County, in 1971 (MCZ). In the 1960's Long Dash was also extensively collected in Acton, Belmont and Littleton (1959-1966, C. G. Oliver, Yale), and though D. Willis does not mention it in his 1974 list of skippers occurring in the Holliston-Sherborn area, it seems likely to have been there (Lep. Soc. Seas. Sum and Corresp. 1959-1991). It seems to have remained fairly common.
Long Dash is a northern-based skipper. Along the east coast it is found southward only to mid-New Jersey, and inland it occurs only at higher elevations down to Virginia (Opler and Krizek 1994; BAMONA 2010; Cech 2005). It is found across the upper midwest and southern Canada to Washington state, and flies quite far north throughout Canada (Layberry et al 1998).
Like most northern butterflies, Long Dash is mainly single-brooded, but a partial second brood occurs near the southern edges of the range, such as Massachusetts (see below), probably Connecticut (O'Donnell et al. 2007), and possibly coastal New York and New Jersey (Scott 1986; Opler and Krizek 1984; but see Cech 2004). Shapiro (1974; 1966) reported a partial second brood for the coastal plain in New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Poa spp. (bluegrasses) are the main hosts cited in the literature, but a question remains as to whether Long Dash uses the widespread Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) in the wild. Confined females oviposit on it in the lab; the Connecticut Atlas raised Long Dash in the laboratory on Kentucky bluegrass, but did not report any field observations. Shapiro (1966) observed Long Dash ovipositing on Poa spp. in Pennsylvania, but the exact species of grass was not specified. Eggs are laid on or near the host plant, and larvae live in tied leaf shelters (Scott 1986). In Canada, Long Dash appears to have adopted several non-native grasses in addition to Poa (Layberry et al 1998), and thus is a candidate for possible inclusion in the list of Switchers (Table 3).
Kentucky bluegrass was introduced from Europe, and is now a common constituent of lawns and meadows across North America, flourishing in either wet or dry soil. However, it was also probably native in Canada and along the northern boundary of the United States (Gleason and Cronquist 1991). Thus its original range in North America may coincide with that of Long Dash, and it could have been the native host for this butterfly. If Long Dash is using mainly Kentucky bluegrass today, that would go far toward explaining the butterfly's relative abundance. For Massachusetts, Sorrie and Somers (1999) do not list Kentucky bluegrass as originally native to any county, but as introduced in all of them. If that grass is the main host, then perhaps Long Dash moved into Massachusetts along with the importation of Kentucky bluegrass for pasture improvement in the 1700s. Or, Long Dash could have been, or could still be, using another Poa species here which is native, such as Poa palustris or fowl-meadow grass, which grows solely in wet meadows. Clearly, some research is needed.
Moist meadows and fields, marsh edges (including salt marsh edges), and streamsides are Long Dash habitat. The skipper can also found in grassy openings in forests or forest edges. It is an avid flower visitor, and even disturbed agricultural fields can provide nectar from red clover and cow vetch. In wet meadows, Long Dash is particularly fond of nectaring on blue flag (Iris versicolor), but also uses many other native and non-native nectar sources such as milkweeds and self-heal.
The Atlas found Long Dash in 118 of 723 blocs searched; this would rank it as "Common" (Table 5) and the Atlas termed it such. However, total reports of individuals in 2000-2007 MBC records rank Long Dash as "Uncommon-to-Common." When compared to such truly common species as American Copper, Little Wood-Satyr, or Peck's Skipper, it is simply not that frequently reported (Table 5).
Chart 95, showing numbers seen per total trip reports by year, suggests that there has been some decline in this species over the 1992-2009 period. Particularly good years for Long Dash, in relative terms, were 1992 and 2005, although 1992 is somewhat less comparable due to the smaller number of trip reports that year. The picture of decline rests partly on some especially large reports from 1992. But even if this is disregarded, the years 2007-2009 are still low in relation to the highs of 1995-1997 and 2005.
Separate list-length analysis of MBC data 1992-2010 yielded a similar result: a statistically significant 64.2% decline in detection probability of Long Dash over these years (Breed et al. 2012). In the Breed study, Long Dash was among a number of northerly-range species exhibiting declines in Massachusetts, attributed to climate warming.
For the years 2007-2009, statistics published in the Season Summary in Massachusetts Butterflies also chronicle relative decline. The average number of Long Dash skippers seen per visit to a location decreased 32% in 2007, 34% in 2008, and 16% in 2009 in comparison to the average for the preceding years back to 1994 (Nielsen, MB 2008, 2009, 2010). The number of reports also decreased in each year compared to the average for preceding years.
At least seven other well-known meadow skippers also show declines whatever statistical approach is used. Five declining dry meadow skippers are shown in Table A; wetland sedge-feeders such as Mulberry Wing and Black Dash are also showing declines.
Long Dash is occurs throughout the state, and in this case BOM-MBC records largely confirm the distribution found during the 1986-90 Atlas. There are 1992-2013 records from 128 of the 351 towns in the Commonwealth (Map 95). In contrast, Peck's Skipper is reported from 206 towns in this period, Least Skipper from 150, and Tawny-edged Skipper from 153.
The Atlas had no reports from the lower Connecticut River valley. MBC records have filled that gap to some extent, with reports from East Longmeadow and Hampden, but surprisingly, there are still none from Longmeadow, Holyoke, South Hadley, Southampton, Springfield, or from many towns west of Springfield.
Long Dash is frequently reported on all three of the Berkshire NABA Counts, especially Northern Berkshire, based in Adams, from which it is reported most years in good numbers. It is also reported most years, in varying numbers (1-14) on the Central Berkshire Count, and in some years, in smaller numbers, from the Southern Berkshire Count. Among all the NABA Counts, the highest and most consistent numbers come from the Northern Worcester and the Central Franklin Counts. On the other hand, Long Dash has never been reported from the Lower Pioneer Valley Count, and only quite infrequently from the Bristol and Cape Cod Counts.
Long Dash has been found in some especially high numbers at specific locations in Essex County-- for example, Ipswich Ffolliott's Farm, 100 on 6/12/2005, S. Stichter et al.; Newbury William Forward WMA, 27 on 6/20/2005, S. Stichter; and Gloucester, 14 on 6/22/1995 D. Savich and C. Tibbits. These locations are not visited during the Northern Essex NABA Count.
Overall, Long Dash is somewhat harder to find in the southern parts of the state than the northern--- with the exception of Martha's Vineyard. The Vineyard checklist lists Long Dash as Common (Pelikan 2002), and MBC has many reports, confirming Jones and Kimball's 1943 assessment. Surprisingly, MBC has no records from Nantucket, although there is one Atlas record and some historical specimens.
Interestingly, Long Dash has been found on many islands. The MAS Atlas had several records from the Elizabeth Islands (town: Gosnold) of Naushon, Nashawena, and Penikese. Mark Mello found Long Dash on Peddock's Island in the Boston Harbor Islands on June 21, 2001, and there is a 2006 Harbor Islands specimen in the MCZ. . There are 1982 and 1983 specimens from Gosnold's Cuttyhunk Island (D. S. Dodge) at Yale.

According to the MBC 1993-2008 flight chart, Long Dash begins flying in mid-May, with good numbers by the last week of May and peak numbers in the second week in June (http://www.naba.org/chapters/nabambc/flight-dates-chart.asp). Numbers drop off sharply by mid-July, but a few Long Dash continue to been seen through mid-September, the result of a partial second brood.
Earliest sightings: In the 23 years of BOM-MBC records 1991-2013, the seven earliest "first sightings" have been 5/7/2012 Royalston Tully Dam C. Kamp (unusually early; the next sighting that year was 5/17/2012 Barnstable Marstons Mills, J. Dwelly, still the earliest on record); 5/19/2004 Andover Ward Reservation TTOR, F. Goodwin; 5/22/1994 Granby T. Fowler; 5/22/1998 Worcester Broad Meadow Brook J. Mullin et al.; 5/22/1999 Clinton/Sterling, T. and C. Dodd; 5/25/2010 Holliston Brentwood CA, B. Bowker; 5/26/2007 Oxford Buffimville Dam, E. Baldwin.
In eleven (nearly half) of the 23 years from 1991 through 2013, the first Long Dash sightings have been in May. In an additional seven years, the first sighting was in the first week of June (6/1-6/7). The 1986-90 Atlas had reported that the first flight began in early June, with the extreme date June 1; today's dates are clearly earlier.
Comparison with Scudder's nineteenth-century flight dates cannot be precise, because he gives Long Dash dates for only the southern and northern extremes of New England. But he says that in the extreme south of New England "the first butterflies make their appearance in the earliest days of June, perhaps even in May; fresh specimens continue to emerge during the first half of June, but by the middle of the month they begin to decrease and appear rubbed ... (1889: 1710)." Considering that this timing was meant to apply to southern Connecticut, it is striking how much earlier Long Dash is emerging today even at the latitude of Massachusetts.
Long Dash is normally single-brooded throughout its northerly range, with middle-instar caterpillars overwintering, but in some years, weather permitting, there is a partial second brood. That is, a portion of the mid-summer larvae do not enter diapause, but rather complete their development, producing small numbers of adults later in the season, usually August and September. Some sources (e.g. Opler 1984; Walton in MAS Atlas) have referred to this adaptive strategy as a full second brood, but the small size of the second flight indicates that it is partial here in Massachusetts (M. Arey, pers. comm. 8-22-2010).
Scudder was quite certain 100 years ago that there was a partial second brood in "southern New England," saying that some of the Long Dash larvae produce a second brood of butterflies "the earliest of which appear from the 7th to the 10th of July (1899: 1710).
Latest sightings: In the same 23 years under review, the six latest "last sightings" were 9/30/2006 Dartmouth Allens Pond, E. Nielsen; 9/21/2005, West Tisbury, M. Pelikan; 9/20/2007 Rockport Waring Field, T. Whelan; 9/19/2013 Ipswich Appleton Farms, G. Kessler; 9/19/2008 Tisbury, M. Pelikan; and 9/17/2003 Northampton community gardens, T. Gagnon and T. Murray.
Scudder reported that second-brood Long Dash "continue on the wing until sometime into September." Today's last sightings have been in September in 12 of the 23 years under review.
In over half (16) of the 23 years (1991-2013), there have been 1 or more sightings of adults later than August 15, Fresh individuals flying at this date or later are almost certainly part of the partial second brood. By this somewhat arbitrary measure nearly every year since 1998 could be called a 'late brood' year. In the late brood years there are at least 1 or 2 post-8/14 reports, nearly all of single individuals, some noted as fresh, with many of the late reports being from Martha's Vineyard. The late brood years are 1995, 1996, 1998 (13 reports after 8/14), 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. The Atlas cites an 8/20/1986 report from Millis, B. Cassie, indicating that that may also have been a late brood year. Late brood years do not seem to coincide with high population years, but non-late brood years (1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1997, 2000 and 2009) partly coincide with population lows (Chart 95), however in those years observers may have just missed the late fliers.
Given its northerly distribution and only partial second brood, this species could be adversely affected in Massachusetts by climate warming (Table 6). However, it is an uncommon-to-common species, and possibly adaptable as to host plant (research needed). Like many skippers, this species needs moist meadow habitats which are conserved and managed properly –that is, not mowed more than once a year. (See MBC Conservation page at http://www.naba.org/chapters/nabambc/butterfly-conservation.asp ) Long Dash can probably not survive frequent, close mowing of its meadow habitats, turning them into manicured lawns, and not much is known about its ability to disperse and colonize new areas. Long Dash is still ranked by NatureServe (2010) as S5, or secure, in Massachusetts, but the recent downward trend and climate change are causes for concern.

She has appeared as soloist with the Vienna Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, Pittsburgh Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, Memphis Symphony, Orchestra of St. Luke's and major Australian orchestras. As well, she has worked with conductors Simon Rattle, Hans Vonk and Yehudi Menuhin. Her numerous awards and honours include the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, Wieniawski Competition (Poland) and the Yehudi Menuhin International Competition (France), resulting in performances and re-engagements throughout the US and Europe.
Now, Susie Park returns to Sydney to headline the Sinfonia's final concert for 2014 featuring in Brahms' sublime Violin Concerto. The program also includes Mendelssohn's Ruy Blas Overture and Dvořák's Symphony No. 6.
Founder and musical director/conductor of the Balmain Sinfonia, Gary Stavrou, said he was proud and thrilled to see the blossoming international career one the Sinfonia's own concerto competition winners. He said Brahms' only violin concerto is one of those pieces that can only be fully realised by a world-class musician. "The raw and rugged sound of the outer movements is contrasted with an Adagio of exquisite, silky beauty; it has an intimacy that very few composers have truly been able to create." Full of spontaneous, sweeping melodies, Ruy Blas is one of Mendelssohn's most popular works and Dvorak's 6th Symphony includes the rich colours and textures of the Czech folk music of Dvořák's childhood.

Q: Dual monitor setup for laptop (Radeon HD 6620G with VGA and HDMI at the same time) does not work I have a Toshiba Satellite P775D (6GB RAM, Processor: AMD A8-3500 APU, Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6620G). I tried connecting this laptop to a 1366 x 768 monitor through VGA and a 1920 x 1080 TV screen via HDMI. It does not seem to want to let me run the two monitors at once (though separately, they work just fine)!
I'm getting a vague impression that some computers can and some computers cannot do this (because the graphics card cannot handle it or something). Very annoying! How do I tell if this is the case for my computer? My computer is not top of the line or anything, but SURELY in 2012, a $700 computer can run three screens... If not, what options would you recommend? A USB adapter?
Thanks in advance! (And yes, I have tried Google)
