The bass, vibraphone and drum trio Benko have realized a swell video for &#8220;The Eurohit&#8221; off its soon-to-be-released LP.   The talented Erik Grostic, a well-read drinking buddy and sushi bar cohort from Austin, is on vocs and bass.</p>

Horse Sugar (<em>Symplocos tinctoria</em>) is a shrub or small tree with dense clusters of fragrant flowers. The name is derived from the fact that horses (and cows and deer) readily consume the leaves. Even hikers can consume the leaves for a refreshing trailside treat!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMbM2n_YII/AAAAAAAABfQ/Wl3pZMhG0TE/s1600-h/horse_sugar040705a.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMbM2n_YII/AAAAAAAABfQ/Wl3pZMhG0TE/s320/horse_sugar040705a.jpg" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMbUN9tarI/AAAAAAAABfY/sSYLLtTOK7Y/s1600-h/horse_sugar040705c.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMbUN9tarI/AAAAAAAABfY/sSYLLtTOK7Y/s320/horse_sugar040705c.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />Horse Sugar blooms between March and May. Now, however, the fruit is on the plant and it is attracting the attention of Red-eyed Vireos (<em>Vireo olivaceus</em>). The Red-eyed Vireos, like many other bird species, are preparing for their migration and need to add fat reserves for their journey to South America. As the rain as come and gone throughout the day, so have the Red-eyed Vireos. They are quite particular as to which fruit they select. The green fruit is eyed with a cock of the head and left, while the purple fruit is plucked and swallowed whole.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMbevE_XPI/AAAAAAAABfg/NislsYsDa_U/s1600-h/DSC_6670.JPG"><img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMbevE_XPI/AAAAAAAABfg/NislsYsDa_U/s320/DSC_6670.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMbobmNxoI/AAAAAAAABfo/yvAVcmvaWiM/s1600-h/DSC_6672.JPG"><img alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMbobmNxoI/AAAAAAAABfo/yvAVcmvaWiM/s320/DSC_6672.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMb-2KDs1I/AAAAAAAABf4/L6lUfv7F4IQ/s1600-h/DSC_6674.JPG"><img alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMb-2KDs1I/AAAAAAAABf4/L6lUfv7F4IQ/s320/DSC_6674.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMcEu3CDnI/AAAAAAAABgA/wb96QHv4tEw/s1600-h/DSC_6673.JPG"><img alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1-Pc1KhgrEs/SLMcEu3CDnI/AAAAAAAABgA/wb96QHv4tEw/s320/DSC_6673.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />It has been a pleasant distraction watching the vireos forage outside the office window. If fact, it's snack time for us too! Now, where is that apple? ]]></content>

<p>One of the biggest uses of stuff is driving! The cars, gas, parts, emissions, roads, parking lots, accessories - it&#8217;s a nightmare of consumerism, and a giant resource hog. Driving less is one of the top 5 things you can do to reduce your impact on the planet, but one of the hardest concepts to approach. Help has arrived&#8230;</p>
<p>Charleston resident Nikki Seibert has set up <a href="http://livingcar-free.blogspot.com/">The Road Less Traveled</a>, a blog capturing her experiment with car-free living. Many of the posts are about her bicycle-based adventures, but she also touches on carpooling, riding the bus, and alternative travel facts.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>When I decided to sell my car and start riding my bike and taking the bus, I got a wide range of responses, many of which wanted to know how I was planning on doing it (or why, for that matter). This blog is going to help you understand what it really means to be car-free, why everyone should consider it, and how it can realistically be done</em>.</p></blockquote>

Lee Walton

<p>Sometimes noble ideas should remain just that; such may be true of the fledgling, albeit financially struggling, American College of the Building Arts. Initially proposed as the first liberal arts college of its kind in the nation to offer an accredited baccalaureate degree in applied building arts, ACOBA now appears to be on terminal life support with little hope of long-term survival. By its own admission, ACOBA has quickly blown through four presidents and over $14 million in private donations and public grants during its first three years of existence. At best, ACOBA now has just a few dozen full and part-time students including only seven of its original Class of 2009. In an act of shameless desperation, its latest new president and board of trustees have turned to the City of Charleston in a last gasping attempt to secure critically needed operating funds to pay day-to-day expenses and salaries with a loan from waning City tax revenues.</p> ]]></content>
