long, that you've seen one of them before so that's handy but you can make a quick i.d. and be more accurate with the microscope. it's cool. even in the greenhouse, we go out and know what thrips look like and aphids. >> what it comes to these chemicals, read the directions carefully, specific chemicals do specific things, some are more what we could say dangerous than others and need special handling, can't use some on vegetables or only at a certain time. you have to read directions. >> you do and you want to know the right plant and right product. this is a mealy bug on a ficus leaf so

all branches are charged with to do once a year and ours is october 19 at the hyatt regency and we are having vendors and we're having art shows and looking forward to of outstanding baltimoreians. >> let's talk about the role of the naacp as we go into the presidential election. what are some of the things -- >> the number one thing we are trying to get people to register to vote and the other thing, we want people to go out and vote. we are nonpartisan so we want the numbers up across the united states but here in baltimore, we did so perly the last election, we are really trying to encourage people to go out and the right they have to vote and each vote counts so we have been doing an outstanding job with voter registration, going to churches the past five weeks, we have been to festivals and churches with back-to-school activities so we have been registering people and have registered ov 200 people the past five weekends and yesterday morning, also. now we need to encourage people to go out to vote and make sure they get out so now we are working on the next step, getting people out. >> and there's still people out there who think they may not be eligible to vote. >> yes and we are trying to do that. as we do voter registration, we want people, especially ex-offenders, to know they have vote if they have completed parole and probation. we're encouraging people to call us and encourage ex-offenders they have the right to vote and we've gotten lots of people their voters' card that were excited to be eligible. >> another group is the holeless. >> they also have the right to vote. even though they may not have a permanent address, many have p.o. boxes and healthcare downtown so everybody has right to vote and thank god in maryland we don't have some of the issues such as florida and ohio and pennsylvania so we are doing great so even should come out and feel proud they have the right to vote and maryland is not one of the states suppressing the vote. >> seniors, if you know someone wants to vote and can't get out. >> we are very much encouraging anyone -- if you feel you can't get out, we will pick you up. you can call the naacp. the other thing is that on election day if anybody has problems, they can call our office for help. we are trying to encourage everybody, their vote counts. we are working with all ages and we've registered ov over 900

[ male announcer ] muller. the european for yummy. >> now, your 11 insta-weather plus forecast with meteorologist ava marie. >> good morning, starting you off with a live look downtown. still a lot of low clouds and a few rain drops on the camera as we had heavy downpours about an ago. 75 degrees downtown, 72 at b.w.i. thurgood marshall. winds at the airport northeast at 8 miles per hour. light reports of rain around the baltimore metro area but nothing compared to what we saw earlier on. if you watched the radar, we were seeing rainfall rates of two to three inches per hour, even on tv hill located northwest of the city, we got two inches of rain in an hour. looking at the radar now, most of the activity pushing north. a couple of spotty showers, there's one across 95, outside of severn. also a new shower that developed outside of california, rain showers across northern virginia outside of d.c. by no means are we completely dry but it is easing up. this is what we are expecting through the rest of the day. as far as cloud cover the rest of the day, the satellite showing thick clouds across the eastern shore, baltimore towards harper county and west of the city, clouds are breaking apart so some areas may see sunshine. high pressure to the north, low pressure from the south causing an easterly flow across the mid atlantic. this storm system is responsible for our rain. tell track up the coast and bring some rain chances but we expect the major of the rain today to be scattered. we watch for the next cold front coming in, bringing scattered rain chances monday and tuesday. chance for showers for the state at any time. highs, around 82. ocean city at 81 and the mountains in the mid 70's this afternoon. the best chance for rain today is before 12 p.m. there's still a chance for rain in the afternoon but you may escape showers altogether. they are going to be scattered. if you have outdoor plans, i'd have a backup plan but it's one of the last weekends of summer break, might as well take advantage of being outside. tonight, showers possible, dropping into the 70's downtown, 60's in the suburbs. in florida, live look at radar, ov the past several hours, notice the bands of thunderstorms, the first bands of isaac pushing into the southern part of the sunshine state so they're feeling impacts. we are going to see isaac continue to impact southern florida throughout the day, heavy rain, strong wind and a direct impact to the keys today and possibly as the storm strengthens to a category 1 hurricane. anyone from the western florida panhandle to new orleans should be concerned. back to the seven-day forecast, 80's the next couple of days, scattered rain chances monday and tuesday. >> look like a celebrity for dollars. our expert is here from shop for sparkles and today we are talking most he bling but other things. let's start with these earrings to look like jordin sparks. >> the movie came out last week, whitney houston's last movie and

shoulder strap and pocket in there and a bunch of compartments, a pocket on the back. this is $65. >> her bag retails for thousands. the hounds tooth scarf. >> you saw the picture of kim kardashian

team. john harbaugh on decision making 101. >> now, 11 sports with pete gilbert. >> good morning and the orioles continue to do things we don't expect. they keep winning games but at this point we should expect it. they are who they are and that's a pretty good baseball team and last night they looked forward to the future which is promising and enjoyed the past, as well. as a few new members went into the orioles hall of fame. the induction of rich dower and mike mussina into the hall. ceremonial strikes from both two, honors well earned. rough start for steve johnson. st. paul's school alum, with an ill positioned changeup against edwin encarnacion in the first inning and quickly 2-0, toronto. the blue jays haven't lost 10 out of 11 for nothing. bottom three, adam jones, double play ball to yunel escobar and that was not exemplary fielding. whiffs, runs scored, flood gates from that point open. bottom five, jones this time, no assistance from the jay's. maybe the baseball gods as that flare got down. that scored two, orioles in front 4-2. steve johnson settled down nicely, six strikeouts, six innings, just allowed those two runs in the first. bottom 6, j.j. hardy officially putting the game out of reach. very high and just far enough. home run number 17 of the season. 8-2 victory at camden towards, giving baltimore a record of 69-57. where does that put them in the standings? in the a.l. east, four back of the yankees for first and half game out of second from the rays. red sox and toronto are no longer in contention. the red sox traded away several of their stars. they're done for the year. wild card standings, orioles tied with oakland for the second wild card spot, half game back of tampa. detroit, one game back of the playoffs, an enjoyable conversation we may be having about the orioles hopefully the rest of the season. as far as the ravens, if you're looking for a reason to check out preseason game number four, there won't be many starters but there is a position battle that's interesting to watch, kicker. billy cundiff, an incumbent, but the big miss in the a.f.c. championship game and he's been ok but justin tucker has been exceptional. frankly, consider what tucker did in preseason game number three, where he made everything, including a 53-yarder, you have to think he may be in front. has a decision been made? john harbaugh is emphatic on that. >> i don't think we've made a decision yet. we are on schedule. we learned what we needed to learn. but it's not an easy decision. if it's an easy decision, we'd have made it. obviously both guys bring something to the table. i don't think it's complicated as to what the factors are so we have to make a decision but not before we have to make a decision. >> the more i hear that sound bite, the more i enjoy it. coach-speak 101 from john harbaugh. tune in thursday and maybe we will figure out who wins the kicking battle. that's a look at sports. have a great day. >> ava is hogging her burger. i want the bison burger. >> brought you t-shirts. >> thank you. >> quick check of the seven-day forecast. 82 today, chance of rain showers but the worst of them are before noon. hopefully the o's game will be ok today, maybe a shower around. >> we will be there. >> and thunderstorms early week, sunshine by the end of the week. >> cooper's north. >> thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> this is a wbal tv-11 editorial. >> with the start of the new school year comes an important reminder to all of us on the road. it's time to put down the phone and pay attention to buses and students lining our streets. school zone accidents are too common despite red light cameras, stop signs and crossing guards, each year we report on students injured by the
