Kazimir Malevich: suprematism
Guggenheim Museum, 2003 - Art - 267 pages
In 1915, Kazimir Malevich changed the future of modern art when his experiments in painting led the Russian avant-garde into pure abstraction. He called his innovation Suprematism--an art of pure geometric form meant to be universally comprehensible regardless of cultural or ethnic origin. His Suprematist masterpiece, White Square on White(1920-27), continues to inspire artists throughout the world. Focused exclusively on this defining moment in Malevich's career, Kazimir Malevich: Suprematismfeatures nearly 120 paintings, drawings and objects, among them several recently discovered masterworks. In addition, the book includes previously unpublished letters, essays and diaries, along with essays by international scholars, who shed new light on this popular figure and his devotion to the spiritual in art.

Follow safety procedures when using chainsaws
Chainsaw Safety
According to the North Dakota State University Extension, the safest way to prepare yourself for operating a chainsaw is to read the operator's manual and seek training from someone who is experienced with chainsaws. It is very important to become familiar with the recommended safe operational procedures before attempting to work with a chainsaw.
Be sure that you are in top physical and mental condition when operating dangerous machinery. Medications, alcohol, and similar influencing factors can cause you to be a hazard to yourself and others when working with chainsaws. Your chances of injury become much less when you are alert, well-rested, and healthy.
Equip yourself with protective clothing and equipment. Safety goggles, hearing protection, steel-toed shoes, hard hat, gloves, and close-fitting clothing are all advisable when chainsaw work is to be done. Chaps are available that are chainsaw resistant. They are designed to protect the left side of your leg, where most chainsaw injuries occur.

So I've ran into an interesting problem. My sister who was raised largely in a secular manner is identifying as Christian. Not that she goes to church. Not that she reads the Bible. Not that she knows anything about the Bible. But she's becoming sensitive about any swipes I take at anyone who identifies as Christian. The last example was over Christmas when I brought up Huckabee blaming the Newtown shootings on lack of prayer in school. Her reaction was immediate as if it's a wound just waiting to be hashed out. I brushed it aside as my point was that there were more shootings in the 25 years prior to 1963 than in the 25 years after. But her assertion that I always hit Christians and her pain has stuck with me. It's left me with a question. When should I be respecting one's religion?
Some of you might not know me since I haven't been too active in the last couple of years. I'm anything but shy or reserved. But I'm not aggressive until my head is bleeding on the desk. What happens in the home where I grew up is anything is fair game for discussion. Usually politics while we drink beer around the fire. In the last decade that has certainly included many fervent Christians. I'm usually mocking something like the deciding factor for invading Iraq being Bush's apparent discussion with God on the matter. Or Palin lording her religion as the course to take in life while she has two grandchildren conceived out of wedlock. These jabs are sticking with my sister and clearly causing her some emotional pain. If she were ancillary in my life, I'd probably turn up the heat and watch her leave my life because I don't have need of those looking to defend Huckabee's or Bachman's. But this is my sister.
I would avoid hurtful discussions with people out of respect. If I run across a Muslim I'm not going to refer to their leader as a drunken repressed bi-sexual pedophile. I'd avoid that. In the same way, I'd not pick on Christianity until pushed if my sister were one. But she isn't one. She seems to be beginning to identify as one and is clearly starting to feel pain. So when do you respect it, even if she isn't being one? Does one need to know who Peter is before you give a crap about their position on Jesus? Does one need to know what Jesus said before you accept them as a Christian? When would you confer respect? This is for a family member and not a stranger on the street. And by respect, we're talking about avoiding legitimate points in discussions where Christians are often over the line saying stuff like theories are from the "pits of Hell". Where is your line?

"She seems to be beginning to identify as one and is clearly starting to feel pain".
She may be beginning to identify as a Cultural Christian ... valuing and promoting the positive messages about Christianity.
The pain she feels is 'empathy' for them and I think we should all move this way. Good on her.
I really think that atheists make better Christians than Christians because we know where to draw that line.
She may just need some assistance.
Those strident, in - your - face type atheists were very necessary when they arrived because they needed to be heard, they shouted about it and it opened the way for us.
We have arrived now and the way we speak about religion needs to evolve because there are heaps of atheists around like your sister who would like to talk about it without bringing up witch burnings etc
It's more important how one defines themselves than how you define them.
A lot of times, the religious can't grasp the concept that a criticism of religion does not equate to an attack on the religious. Moreover, a criticism of one religious person doesn't equate to the criticism of any other religious persons. Maybe try to illustrate this point to her? Unless, of course if she agrees with Huckabee, in which case I'd say she's too far gone.
Your sister seems to be at a point in her life where she started relying on her feelings rather than her thoughts to guide her, which isn't a problem, for the most part. Maybe try to figure out a way to discuss things on a more instinctual, emotional level in order to level with her?
I respect anyone's right to believe as they wish. That doesn't mean I respect WHAT they believe. I never initiate a challenge with a Christian on his/her beliefs; but if they challenge mine, all bets are off; they will receive my vigorous counterattack. I have a sister-in-law, a very nice lady who is a devout Catholic. In the 60 years I've known her, neither of us has ever challenged the other, out of mutual respect for the person, if not the beliefs. It's also because Catholics, in general do not discuss their religion.

Disappointing but hardly surprising
While we know that PlayStation Move controllers will be supported by PlayStation 4, it wasn't immediately clear if the current DualShock 3 controllers would carry forward into this next console generation. According to SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, the system "doesn't support DualShock 3."
I had a small amount of hope that with the cloud-based support for PlayStation 3 games, perhaps the gamepad would work on PS4. On the other hand, the DualShock 4 is differentiated enough that it was reasonable to expect Sony would take the opportunity to move on. And they sure did. I just hope some of you don't have a bunch of extra controllers sitting around.
Has poor Yoshida lost his voice yet? So many quotes, so little time. By the way, if you aren't following the man on Twitter, you ought to strongly consider doing so. He's a delight, even if this news wasn't.

Matrix Transmission Problems
I have a new 2006 Matrix (automatic) and 4 times the car has shifted from drive to 2nd gear on its own. Has anyone ever experienced this. The dealer thinks I'm nuts!
I was wondering if anyone else had this issue? I've found more than a few instances on the web about the clutch going in the Matrix at or around 30k... this proved to be true for my 05 XRS as well. Prior to my XRS, I had an 02 Celica GTS (Supposedly same clutch, engine, gear ratio...) but never had the issues in the Celica (Had just about 49k when I traded it in). I'm asking out of curiosity, because when I had my clutch replaced (Stage II ACT clutch put in) my mechanic said he had just done an XRS about a week before. I was also told to hang on to my receipt because it was a matter of time before a class action suit was filed. Anyone else have any experiences, thoughts...? Anything would be appreciated!1
kwayne47 Posts: 1What about your warranty?0
Warranty is only until 30k for the clutch... I missed it by 3k! I was told by the dealer that I did not know what I was talking about when I said a clutch should not go at 33k miles... I guess it's because I'm female, I shouldn't know a thing about cars (HAH!). No help there... I didn't want to deal with the aggravation and I need my car (can't live without it!) so I went and had it replaced. But like I said in my previous post, I was told to hang onto my receipt because a class action suit against Toyota is "inevitable" (per my mechanic. What's your take on it?1
There is something fishy about this story. To my knowledge, warranty is 36,000 miles or 36 months for all components and 60,000 miles or 60 months for engine, transmission, drive systems, etc. Based on what you are saying, the clutch should have been covered. Do you have documented proof that the dealer refused to repair/replace the clutch? I would call Toyota's customer service. This should be an open and shut case. This is not a class action suit. Good luck.0
mcdawgg Posts: 1,681In general, clutches are not covered under any warranty, because people can either abuse them, or just do not know how to drive a stick properly.
They are a wear and tear item. Check your warranty book that came with the owner's manual. It will state which components are covered, and what is not. With the clutch, it won't cover the disk or the pressure plate, and probably not the release bearing. No manufacturer covers clutches.
Please do not take this the wrong way, I am not necessarily saying you caused the problem, but in most cases, it is the driver.0
What is the difference between a clutch and a clutch cover? The owners manual states that the clutch cover is covered (transmission and transaxle). The manual does indicate that clutch linings are a maintenance item. I am not very familiar with how it works. I guess clarification is required on what was defective or in need of repair (cover or lining). The problem I have is with kimx's statement concerning a 30,000 mile warranty (I wonder where that came from). If the dealer did not want to repair the clutch problem, we can only assume that it was the clutch lining and not the cover.0
csmatrix Posts: 13I drive a 5 speed Matrix XR. Although its a reliable transmission, I found it to be down right unpleasent to drive at times. It dosen't seem to be geared for an engine with as little torque as the 1.8L has. To make things worse the throttle is horrible and makes it hard to drive smoothly. If anyone feel the same way please let me know. I'm thinking about trading it in for an 07 Mitsubishi Eclipse.0
xmatrixownr Posts: 2I bought a Matrix XRS in its first year of production. It had the 6 speed manual transmission. I found the shifting to be uncomfortable, also, and not smooth at all. When the clutch wore out at 29,000 miles or so, and Toyota told me that it was "normal wear", I went right over to Honda and traded it in on a Civic. I found that the Matrix defiinitely did not live up to Toyota's normal standards0
heathyvt Posts: 1I'm interested in buying a matrix after college, i'm big into the tuner scene. I'm interest in buying the AWD matrix but they only come in auto's as far as I i've seen. Is it posible to do the auto to standard sawp?0
mjustice11 Posts: 1Hello - I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I have a 2003 toyota matrix, 5 speed, that has been properly maintained, etc. My manual transmission needs to be completely replaced due to a "fluke" in happenstance. I bought a toyota to last until at least 100K, and now I have to have a new transmission put in that will cost over $3000. I'm frustrated. Others with this problem, please let me know!0
I have had an ongoing battle with Toyota Canada over my '03 Matrix after the manual transmission went at 108k (km) in Dec of 2005.
A bearing needed replacing that cost me about $Cdn 1800 to repair, which was about $1500 labour. I failed to change the manual transmission fluid at 100K, which Toyota Canada said meant that the repair costs were all mine. They offered $300 to cover the parts as a Goodwill gesture. I told them to keep it. The fact is the US site and GM Canada site (Vibe; said powertrain) both say that the trans fluid only needs to be replaced if the vehicle is used to tow. I had the bearings subsequently dissected by a Materials lab and a report written identifying the problem as a defective bearing assembly (Japanese bearing parts out of tolerance) that did not fail due to any poor lubrication condition. Toyota Canada again denied any responsibility, and said that any future communications on this issue would not be addressed. The only joy I have had to date, is driving daily (work commute) by the plant where the car was made (Cambridge, Ont.) with a neon placard on the back window for all to see that tells my story:
2003 Toyota Matrix
Failed Manual Transmission 108K
Me: $1800
Toyota: $0
Made in Cambridge
I recently received a 2003 Matrix owner's customer satisfaction survey, which I sent back uncompleted to the president of Toyota Canada with a covering letter saying that he could fill it out on my behalf based on the enclosed copies of all of the correspondence.
I would be interested in hearing about you experience.
jim19a Posts: 1My Transmission had a bearing failure at about 62K. Replacement cost about $1100.00. I asked Toyota nicely for some accomodation (split part of the cost? Give a coupon for something?) Their answer was that they would do nothing. The mechanic said the failure had nothing to do with maintainence or use. It was simply a bad part. Please reply with similar experiences (Now there are at least two of us)
By the way the clutch wnet out at about 30K, but Toyota id fix that.0
I have a 2004 matrix XRS with only 113,000 kms and just replaced the clutch and am told my transmission is trashed. This is unacceptable for a Toyota product! I am looking into warranties and replacements but feel this needs to be addressed by Toyota Canada, and if not by them, then Toyota Japan. I have only driven Toyota and this is the worst car I have ever owned - even my Toyota Tercel was better quality than my Matrix.0
A bearing went in my 2003 Toyota Matrix XR 5-speed transmission about a week ago at 108K (km) !!
(I was in the middle of nowhwere 250km from the nearest dealer, 40km from the nearest town at 1am BTW)
When I read your post, I could think only one thing, defective batch?!
Anyway my Matrix was made in Cambridge, April 2003 and bought June 2003 in Calgary.
Transmission fluid was changed by Toyota last year.
I am trying to find more people that this has happened to
If the bearings in that transmission were faulty,
then I am guessing that sooner or later they will all go
and since the average driver may not have hit 108K km yet
more of this will probably crop up.
My dad is a heavy duty mechanic and has been a loyal Toyota customer for as long as I can remember. He said the same thing about the bearings in the transmission. I have not replaced my transmission, he told me to drive it until it dies..:(....and why would I replace my transmission with another Matrix transmission that could be faulty??? Makes no sense does it? When I went to a local Toyota dealer I brought up the fact that there has been problems with the Matrix transmission, he acknowledged that they had come across a few...
I believe this is happening to more people than we know of and am prepared to do whatever it takes to find them!! I am a frequent visitor to Japan and just returned at the end of February. I can tell you the Japanese take GREAT pride in everything they do and everything they make and probably have no idea of the problems of the Matrix - in fact the Matrix is not made in Japan, it is made in Canada....AND.....I don't believe that Toyota Japan even sells the Matrix....so....I am willing to pursue this at whatever level is needed. I feel Toyota Canada needs to acknowledge the problem and do a recall...let me know if you are interested....ds0
ron99 Posts: 1I have a 2003 Matrix and I just had the manual transmission replaced at 63,000 miles. I luckily bought a Toyota certified used vehicle and it comes with a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. I did elect to change the clutch while it was out because it was only $300.00 to do it. I also bought a Toyota to have it last a long time and am dissapointed.0
frustrated13 Posts: 1Here is another one for you ... 102,000 kms on a 2003 matrix 5sp and the tranny bearing exploded taking out the works.
I have been waiting for Toyota Canada to stand up and help me out here , but I should have not been suprised when they have offered next to nothing . If any or all of you can send in your serial # , kms , and a detailed description on how this happened and what there response was , I would be very interested .If you find any other people with the same problem , ask them to do the same. It sounds to me like this is a concern that needs to be moved to a different level. I have driven a lot of toyotas and this has put a real sour taste in my mouth....
I honestly believe that Toyota is one of the few companies with values and if this can be sent in the right direction action will be taken to rectify our concerns.0
pattih Posts: 1I have 2003 5 speed Matrix XR bought in May of 2002. At a little over 95,000 I requested they check everything thoroughly just in case something looked questionable and I could get it covered before the warranty expired. I was told everything was great. (90% of my miles are highway miles, so clutch and everything else appeared to be in great shape.) Yesterday at 108,000 miles they informed me my transmission was bad due to a bad bearing. My options: by a used transmission, new transmission or dump the car for a trade in value of $5,000. I was told they could only put a 2003 transmission in the car because they made changes to the 2004 and newer transmissions making them incompatible with the 2003 Matrix. Consumer report shows the transmissions for the 2003 Matrix rated in the middle (newer models were rated high-but maybe that's because they don't have that many miles on them yet). This is the first Toyota I ever bought because of the stellar reputation for longevity i.e. I was told I could count on it without major problems for 200,000 miles if I did the required maintenance. I'm wondering what's the point of paying $2,300 to install a new transmission (that already has 50,000 miles on it - it's all they could find) and have the same problem? Or what's the point of paying almost $3,500 and having the same problem. If they're defective then the problem will be there again. Is this only an issue for manual transmissions? Is it primarily an issue for 2003s? I love the car otherwise and would like another, but don't trust the tran problem. Nobody from Toyota will acknowledge it's a defect and stand behind it.0
robins0910 Posts: 1I have a 04 Matrix XR I purchased it 06/03 and just had the transmission replaced at just over 46k miles. I was told by the dealer that the differential came apart inside the trans. No out of pocket expense for me since they cover the trans for 60k miles but I can't say I would buy another Toyota after this experience, I'll probably go back to Honda.0
madatmatrix Posts: 1I'll add to the 2003 Matrix woes. I just had to have the transmission worked on because the bearings were totally shot. I was told it was a "fluke" as well. Do they get that in training? Only 5 months ago I had to replace the water pump and have the brakes worked on. I've done all of the work at the dealership and have been very good with maintenance throughout the life of the car. So in the past 5 months my Matrix has cost me almost $4,000. It was $1,700 for the water pump and brakes and $2,000 for the transmission (they are putting in a new clutch while they're at it). I did not expect to have to sink this much money into what is basically a Corolla wagon. So buyer beware regarding the 2003 Toyota Matrix.0
I just had the bearings go bad on my matrix 5-speed tranny as well. What were the symptoms for you guys? mine was a grinding sound when in gear and letting off the gas....I am wondering, is this gonna happen every 60,000miles or so? it is being fixed under warranty this time, but if it did this every 60,000 miles, whats the point in owning this car? I love it but....0
joebeets Posts: 1I found a used 2003 Matrix XRS 6sp.manaul with only 34k miles. Not bad I thought, took it for a test drive and didn't notice at first the "noise" coming from the gears as you throttled down. I took it to a mechanic for a pre-sale check-out and of course he noticed the noise right away. He said, "Hmmm and the seller wants how much? No way dude!!" I offered her $4600 less than what she was asking (mid-KBB of $12600) to put into "escrow" for when I have to fix it. Now that I'm reading these posts, however, I'm thinking that isn't a matter of IF but a matter of WHEN. Bad transmissions seem to be endemic to the Matrix, especially 2003s. I'm going to withdraw my offer on this car. Thank goodness for this forum!!!0
sales2010 Posts: 33Does automatic tranmissions have this problem too? Since the Corolla and the Matrix have a similar platform, does bad transmissions usual for the Corolla also? Thanks!0
So it seems like I wasn't the only one who had this unpleasant experience with Toyota as they had indicated.
Although, it happened over a year and half ago now it still makes me so mad. I have the culprit 'Made in Japan' bearing handy as a reminder. I battled with Toyota Canada and lost.
If any one wants to continue with the battle, I will gladly join in. The following was my contact who I would encourage all of you to send a letter to detailing your experiences:

Good luck.

visionstar Posts: 3My impression is that the automatics do not have this problem, is that correct?
I hope so because I just bought an 03 Matrix AWD automatic with over 100,000 miles. Need to get the transmission serviced but at this point, it seems to be fine.
Certainly is disappointing to hear that Toyota is dodging the problem this way!0
From what I have read and from (painful) personal experience
Here are the common transmission problems with the Matrix :sick:
2003-2006 XRS 6-speed manual clutch failures at around 50,000km
2003 5-speed manual - bearing failure at around 105,000km
Like I posted earlier, My 2003 XR 5-speed failed at 108k km (about 68k miles)
The output shaft bearing blew up killing some other parts in the tranny costing $2400 to fix.
Summary of reported bearing failures right after the warranty ran out:
1) mjustice - 2003 tranmission replaced at 62K miles
2) crimson_steve - Exact same failure as mine at the exact same mileage (>1k km apart)
3) jim19a - Not sure if 2003, but failed within 5k miles of mine, also bearings
4) tuxristo - Mine, 2003 XR bearings failed at 68K miles
5) ron99 - Not sure if bearings were the problem, but 2003 and failed within 5k miles of mine
6) frustrated13 - 102,000 kms on a 2003 matrix 5sp and the tranny bearing exploded taking out the works. I.E. exactly the same failure as mine.
7) pattih - Also bad bearings, but from the sounds of it it failed at 108k miles not km?
She also had it checked just before warranty expired like I did. If the bearing was making a subtle whine like it was on mine, then why did the mechanic not notice it!? :mad: I noticed the whine after letting go of the clutch pedal and slowing down "with the gears", but thought it was coming from the engine or something
8) madatmatrix - 2003 transmission trashed at 85K (miles or km? - guessing miles)
9) canonlaw - Exact same symptoms as mine, at roughly the same mileage.
You can't help but wonder how many more people are out there that don't use this forum!
Will this happen to us again at another 60K miles?
Since the new bearings are presumably not bad, it might not happen again at another 60K miles, but as pattih noted, the transmission design was changed for 2004, so maybe the transmission was flawed in the 2003 and it WILL keep happening! i.e. maybe there is some design flaw in the tranny that is CAUSING the bearings to fail. Then again, maybe it was a bad batch of bearings. Toyota really needs to stand up and own up to this problem and at the very least give us all some answers!
- Will we be compensated for this design flaw/batch of defective parts?
- How will this affect Toyota's Reliability reputation?
- What can Toyota do to make sure we don't go around telling everyone to avoid Toyota based on our experience?
It is interesting to see that people are starting to ask about 6-speeds, automatics and even the Corolla in this thread. To me these questions show that the 2003 Matrix 5-speed manual transmission problem is already starting to cast a shadow on Toyota's reliability reputation, and I think it would be in Toyota Motor Corporation's best interests to reassure people that the problem is isolated to a certain batch of 2003 Matrix 5-speeds, if in fact that is the case!0
Hey tuxristo, could we swap email addresses? I don't know what will happen down the road with all of this, but it would be nice to have someone to contact if need be.
I don't like posting my email address, so can you contact me through my website? Just fill out the contact form. Thanks.
pamatrix03 Posts: 1I bought my 2003 matrix also in May of 2002. My transmission failed last Thurs. night at 118,000 miles. I'm in shock- I never expected this from a Toyota. It is the 3rd Toyota I have owned. I had noticed a noise and had it checked twice, but was thinking it might have been exhaust because it got worse when I stepped on the gas. Neither garage found anything. I don't know yet the extent of the damage. I had it towed to garage, and they pulled it yesterday, but hadn't torn it apart yet to see what went wrong and the extent of the damage. I called a Toyota dealer and of course they basically laughed when I told them it had 118,000 miles. I will call the customer serrvice hotline though. Clearly there is a problem with this transmission. I would be happy to join in any collective action. Toyota should stand behind this product and if they have a problem should step up and solve it.0
emob Posts: 1COUNT ME IN!! Blown Transmission, extremely pissed off.
2003 Matrix XR 5sp. 102,600 miles. Bought May 2003. Well maintained and serviced at regularly scheduled intervals by the Toyota dealer. Not a single mechanical problem until a slight grinding sound (coming from either the clutch and/or transmission, when in gears 1-5) popped up 2000 miles after my extended warranty expired at 100K. It sounds like this was in fact the bearing. Last night the tranny blew as I was driving it to get a second opinion after the local Toyota dealer offered only an entire transaxle replacement for $3500.
I'm planning to do a dealer trade-in with them and work a deal on the price of a new Prius. I'd prefer to never buy Toyota again because of this, but it is my best option for salvaging the most value from the car.
Toyota has not lived up to its reputation, and hasn't done anything to help me. Needless to say, I to am extremely dissapointed and would love to join the fight.0
alika Posts: 3I found this site after Toyota told my wife they wouldn't cover anything towards the replacement of her clutch and transmission, after 76k miles. It seems there's a real problem here, and Toyota needs to acknowledge it. so what do we do next? Any attorneys out there?0

Convergence – New solo track from Cass, June 2014
Being half a world apart, it's no surprise that we often get involved in other musical projects. Here's something beautiful that Cass put together with a crew of fabulous musicians from his part of the world.
The track features work by regular collaborators Jeff Leonard, Don Latarski and Mark Zonder. The exquisite violin is performed by Aaron Meyer. And Cass is in there somewhere too.

Happy Hump Day! And thanks for joining me again. By now you should have a warm neck and have your senses stimulated. I hope it's all good in your house today!
If you liked my recipe yesterday, maybe you want to grow some vegetables of your own to cook, but maybe you don't have a lot of room in your garden. Why not grow them in your house? Really! My office is at the front of the house and has a big window that gets a decent amount of sun. I say 'decent' because it rains a lot here! But it still gets a lot of light which is what vegetables need.
We've been in our current house two years now. Last year I thought it would be fun to try tomatoes again. I'd tried them years ago, but they never did well. Not enough light. Water wasn't the problem, as the pot was on my kitchen sill just behind the sink. But my office gets a lot of sun, which tomatoes love. A friend grows them in her enclosed front porch in grow bags so I thought why not in a proper pot of dirt?
So I got a pot, filled it with dirt and put in a couple seedlings. They went all kinds of crazy, but I didn't get a lot of tomatoes out of them. Head in hand, I talked to my friend, Chris, who's a gardener extraordinaire, and learned a few things for next time.
Next time was this year. I grabbed the same pot filled it with fresh dirt and put in a couple seedlings. This year for fun, I thought I'd try yellow tomatoes—Golden Sunrises. How's that for inspiring? Just the name reminds me of the old bodice ripper romances with the hero holding onto the heroine with the heaving bosom against a . . . well . . . golden sunrise. I also planted a Roma tomato because they're one of the most flavorful tomatoes to cook with.
As it turns out, the lessons I learned from last year, and the great and friendly advice, came in handy. My vines this year have been wildly producing loads of little yellow fruits. {yes, tomatoes are fruits, folks!}
And here it is, the end of November, and the plant is still a triffid.
What lessons did I learn? Pretty simple, actually. Pinch the suckers—they grow between the leaf and stem. Water—a lot. Fertilize—regularly.
I also learned that tomatoes require fertilization, which is where bees come in. But being indoors, how was I going to make this happen? Easy! I got a little {and clean} paint brush and went around dabbing all the flowers. Kinda tedious, but necessary. And with all the fruit that came on in subsequent weeks, the fruits of my labor resulted in . . . well . . . fruit. The odd part is the Golden Sunrise pretty much took over. I only got two . . . count 'em . . . two Romas. But how cool was it to see them growing in an irregular red shape against the round yellow ones?! And they were tasty. I used them and a bunch of the yellow ones in the recipe from yesterday.
So what do I do with all my homegrown tomatoes? Loads of things—Frittata, Quiche, Salsa, my aforementioned simmered veg, and my husband likes them in his sandwiches and salad. Hmm . . . maybe I should be thinking Fried Green Tomatoes some day.
How about a recipe for homemade salsa?
2 medium ripe tomatoes, deseeded, skinned and rough chopped
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 medium garlic clove, finely diced
1/2 small jalapeno pepper, deseeded and finely diced {can use Ortega roasted chilies, about 1 tbsp or to taste}
cilantro, a small bunch, finely chop the leafy parts, discard the stems
splash lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
Add all of your ingredients to a bowl as you cut them. Mix well with a spoon, adding a small splash of lime juice. Grab your favorite tortilla chip to taste for flavor, adding salt and pepper to taste, or more lime, cilantro or chilies. Salsa is subjective, so just add whatever extra flavors you want until it's perfect for you.
This recipe is very easy to double or even quadruple if you're feeling hungry or having friends around. It goes great as an accompaniment to a frittata or quiche, on pretty much anything Mexican, and if you have any ripe avocados, add the salsa to the mashed avocado for a FABulous guacamole.
Good lord! I'm craving Mexican food now. LOL
So you may be asking, how does gardening inspire my work? Gardening, like any hobby, is relaxing and therapeutic. Maybe it's the communing with nature thing—I enjoy getting my hands in the soil and imagining how a medieval healer would have grown her herbs and kept her garden. Maybe it's sometimes I grow the food I eat and I wonder how the taste of foods have changed over the centuries. And maybe it's that all my plants fill the office with fresh oxygen—really, there are a lot of plants in my office!
Whatever it is, I find having plants around me makes me happy. And a happy writer is a prolific writer.
Thanks for hanging out with me again today. We're getting to be great pals, aren't we?
Drop me a note in comments and let me know if you grow produce in your house, and if so, what is it and how did you cook with it? Do you have a recipe you'd like to share?
I'm sure I don't have to mention there are prizes this week! So come back again tomorrow. I'll be talking about yet another of my passions—Castle hunting!

Spornette brushes have become my go-to hairbrushes. you might be thinking "big deal, it's just a hairbrush". i'll admit, i felt the same way until i started using my new brushes. i was amazed to see that not only did my hair style better, it was sleeker, smoother, had shine, and flat ironing or curling wasn't a must (previous due to the frizz from blowdrying). Spornette brushes give you that feel of having gone to the salon, without having to go to the salon. the best part is, their price point is affordable!
here is a video on how to volumize your hair. i'm using my favorite teasing brush, the Little Wonder by Spornette:

When Kelly Preston gave birth to her son Benjamin Travolta a year ago, she knew losing the baby weight wouldn"t be easy.
"When I got pregnant at 48, I didn"t know if my body would bounce back," the actress tells PEOPLE.
Turns out, Preston had no need to worry. Not only did she shed the baby weight, but over the past year she"s dipped below her pre-pregnancy weight – and is relishing a new figure and renewed vitality as she approaches the mid-century mark.
"I lost 39 lbs., have more energy than I had 20 years ago – and I feel amazing," Preston says. "I"m going to be turning 50 next year – holy s–––! Hey, 50 is the new 30."
So besides tennis and keeping up with an active baby, what"s her secret The Organic Liaison weight-loss program created by Preston and John Travolta"s close friend Kirstie Alley, who cleared her own hurdle this summer when she dropped 100 lbs.
"I was so excited when my best friend created Rescue Me," says Preston of the diet plan"s organic supplement system that targets cravings and "boosts natural energy," according to the Organic Liaison website.
"It"s pretty much the most genius thing ever," says Preston, who recently signed on as the weight-loss system"s spokesperson.
But a rocking a new body is not the only cause for joy in the Travolta household.
"We just celebrated Ben"s first birthday," she says. "I can"t believe it"s already been a year."

Skillet Suppers: Chicken Burgers with Ginger, Scallions, and Sriracha Mayonnaise
You don't see chicken burgers a lot, and I'm not sure why—they're light, super easy, and incredibly delicious, especially when you pack them with flavor boosters like garlic, ginger, scallions, and cilantro. Plus, a sriracha dipping sauce is clutch.
I have to give credit for this recipe idea to my sister, Ashley, who told me how Chef Katie Carey had made something similar for family meal one day. I owe them both a big thank you because I will be making this recipe over and over again. It's one of those dishes that you make, bite, and go, "Whoa." Granted, these are all bold flavors that I happen love; if you're not a fan of ginger, garlic, cilantro, and sriracha, then you might have a very different reaction.
To make it healthier, you can skip the buns and make it more of a wrap, using the extra butter lettuce. But whatever you do, do NOT skip the sriracha and mayo dipping sauce—it was so good that I was actually eating it by the spoonful. I would say that another option would be to use low-fat Greek yogurt instead of the mayo, but it's really so delicious that it would be a shame to make the switch.

Had things turned out differently, we would know too well Rule 12, Section V, item a, from the NBA rulebook:
"An official may assess a technical foul, without prior warning, at any time. A technical foul (s) may be assessed to any player on the court or anyone seated on the bench for conduct, which in the opinion of the official, is detrimental to the game. The technical foul must be charged to an individual."
Layman's translation: If Tony Allen is acting all crazy on the sideline, waving a white towel, and a blue warm-up shirt flies out of the towel and on to the court while Derek Fisher is shooting a 3-pointer, the shot will count as good (though Fisher missed it), Allen will be given a T, and Kevin Durant will make the free throw for a four-point play.
This is exactly what happened late in the third quarter of Game 5 at Oklahoma City. It downsized the Grizzlies' 11-point lead to seven points and was the wind propelling a 13-4 Thunder run that left the Grizzlies with just a two-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter.
Call it a natural disaster on the plains: Tornado Tony.
Asked in the post-game press conference what he said to Allen after the play, Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins had a rather reasonable answer: "What the hell are you doing?"
Zach Randolph and Mike Conley each mentioned something about wanting to choke The Grindfather. Yet even before Allen made amends, there was a perfect line on Twitter from @AwillisBigAl: "Tony Allen gives up more points while he's on the bench then he does when he's on the floor."
Fittingly, it would be Allen guarding Durant at game's end, the Grizzlies' lead but two points. Durant got the ball and tried to go right. Allen stopped that and who knows what went through Durant's mind at that moment? The 15 shots he already had missed this night? Allen causing a key turnover at the end of another game in this series?
Durant managed to create space to his left, and get a "good look" from 17 feet out, but his shot carried too far and bounced off the iron. Allen grabbed the rebound, and redemption, as he was fouled and then knocked down two free throws to complete an 88-84 Grizzlies victory that sent them to their first conference finals in the franchise's 18-year history (don't forget all that losing back in Vancouver that pre-dated all the losing here).
Allen, as he often is when given the opportunity, was huge down the stretch for the Grizzlies. Conley said Allen "saved" the Grizzlies. Z-Bo called Tony his "hero."
Just what would Tony Allen the Superhero look like? Would he have a cape on his back, a blue warm-up shirt inexplicably flying out from underneath said cape? To be sure, he would be a Superhero of the people. His Kryptonite would be a wide-open jump shot … or a normal conversation … or having to sit still.
A while back I wrote a story about Allen. I asked him about his All-NBA first-team defense, his missed, uncontested, layups, the whole crazy combination of his game that adds up to what I like to call the Tony Allen Equation – a winning formula that is impossible to define in any sort of new metrics way, but that is just as impossible to deny.
"For the most part," Allen told me, "I'll help you more than I hurt you."
Nothing about that in the NBA rulebook. But in Memphis, it might as well be law.

Pre-orders begin for Apple's new iPhone 5c
SAN FRANCISCO — Pre-orders for Apple's new iPhone 5c kicked off at 12:01 a.m. PT at Apple.com and websites for the major wireless carriers.
The Apple Store app and Apple Store web site went live after spending much of Thursday evening with a traditional "we'll be back" message while it updated with information on the ordering process. Customers ordering now were to begin receiving the phone on Sept. 20.
Apple on Tuesday unveiled its next-generation flagship iPhone 5s starting at $199 with customary two-year service contract, the new iPhone 5c in several colors, starting at $99, and the latest version of its iOS 7 operating system.
Promotional pricing deals were widespread on Thursday. Walmart is selling the 5c for $79, and a 16GB 5s for $189. T-Mobile has a limited time deal for no money down on the 5c and 24 monthly payments of $22 (for a total of $528.)
WHAT'S NEXT: With iPhones soon on the way, what's next for Apple
Apple announced two new phones on Tuesday, the plastic iPhone 5C for $99, and the iPhone 5S for $199 that offers new features including a fingerprint identity sensor. VPC
The 5c comes in green, white, blue, pink, and yellow. The phone's casings are made of a polycarbonate plastic. It is powered by Apple's A6 processor and sports an 8-megapixel camera. The 5c has Apple's 4-inch retina display and can run on 4G LTE networks.
It will run $549 for a model purchased without a carrier plan.
The iPhone 5s is not available for pre-order. Apple's latest standard-bearer is a 64-bit model powered by a zippier A7 chip and comes in gold, silver and a "space gray." Apple says the processor is twice as fast as its predecessor. Apple also included a much-expected fingerprint ID sensor in the home button on the 5s, allowing people to unlock the phone, as well as make iTunes purchases.
IPhone 5s prices will run $199 for a 16-GB model, $299 for a 32-GB and $399 for a 64-GB version — all requiring a two-year contract.

Apple's new iPhone 5S features fingerprint identity sensor technology that allows you to unlock your phone using your fingerprints. VPC

Before getting to the primary focus of this post, let me say that my latest "adventure" didn't quite pan out. The good news is it was the result of the (freak!) weather and not injury. So, I spent a day or so feeling sorry for myself and then got over it. I will return to complete what I started and will provide a full report then.
The weather here, on the other hand, has been absolutely GORGEOUS!! I love California in the winter and feel so fortunate to be living here. :)
Chris and I (mostly RD Chris) have been super busy getting ready for Coyote Two Moon 100m/100k next weekend. As you can see from the schedule, C2M is no ordinary ultra (!), with prerace get-togethers--running, bowling, partying--beginning Wednesday, with the main event beginning on Friday (for some) and going through Easter morning. The rest of the program is here. Being a Chris Scott event, it is of course unique. Okay, maybe I'm a bit biased, but no one would argue its creativity and ingenuity. Probably the most differentiating feature is the staggered start based on estimated finish times, with everyone--in theory--finishing within a four-hour window. That means the fast guys will be trying to catch everyone ahead of them throughout the entire race while the slower runners get first dibs on the aid station yummies. You can read more about the staggered start on the program. It will be very interesting to see how it all pans out!
We have some Big Dogs entered, including perennial Hardrocker/Wasatcher Betsy Nye, VHTRC standout Derrick Carr, my ultra hero Eric Clifton, 2007 W$ winner Hal Koerner, 2007 VT winner Andy Jones-Wilkins, 2006 Ultrarunner of the Year Karl Meltzer, rock-star Grand Slammer Hiroki Ishikawa, consistent top 10'er Justin Angle, and sub-24 Wasatcher Roch Horton in the 100 miler. The 100k roster boasts the likes of my other ultra hero, Pat Devita, Amy Sproston, David Goggins, Tom Nielson, Josh Brimhall, and Tracy "Snake Legs" Moore.
Big dogs aside, Coyote Two Moon is less about "The Race" and more about camaradarie in the dirt, part Coyote Fourplay (RIP), part a new and different challenge. The mountains above Ojai are spectacular, with some surprisingly kick-ass climbs. In my opinion, the only harder 100s out there are Barkley, Hardrock, and maybe HURT.
We are anxiously anticipating the festivities of the coming week and welcome all the runners, friends, and families. And a HUGE thank you to all the folks who are--and have been--coming out to volunteer, especially the Zombies, Gillian and Don (who put in about 1,000 person hours). We couldn't do it without you.
Here's a little visual as to what we've been up to the past few months in preparation for C2M...
Course marker party! We are trying something new here, too: both regular surveyor's and reflective tape tied to wooden clothespins, to be reused year after year. That's me (having tied one too many markers), Jeanne, Wild Bill, Ben, and Sook.
Checking out the start/finish area, Rancho Grande, with (front row) the twins, Marla, Gretchen (these four will be doing the Thacher aid station), and (back row) Bill, Mark, H'ard, moi, Drew, and Jack.
The same group as the previous shot clearing trail... Heehee, kidding. :p
Bill, Laurie, and I slog back up the Horn Canyon Trail after doing the final brushing out and treadwork on this badly overgrown trail. This is the most technically challenging of all the different trails on the course; just ask Bruce Grant. We did a total of three work trips on just this trail, with a rough estimate of 240 person hours!
While dropping off water at the ridge aid stations, our vehicles got stuck in the snow twice and sustained two flat tires! Sorry about that, H'ard and Mark.
The Patagonia order arrives! We came home one afternoon to all these boxes on the front porch. If only the neighbors realized the value of the contents... (O_O) All this stuff had to be sorted and reconciled before being brought to the stitchers and the screeners, then resorted and re-reconciled for bag stuffing. Yes, the house is a total mess.
Good luck to all the runners this weekend!

Information governance is the set of multi-disciplinary structures, policies, processes and controls implemented to manage information. Gartner states that "the goal of information governance is to ensure compliance with laws and regulations, mitigate risks and protect the confidentiality of sensitive company and customer data." More than another word for "records management," information governance aims to support an organization's regulatory, legal, risk, environmental and operational requirements.
A successful information governance initiative requires a cross-functional team effort, usually consisting of records, IT and legal, often with executive sponsorship. The elevation of records to include IT and legal also brings into play more budgetary options. Information governance will normally be a function of the IT budget rather than records, which opens up many more possibilities.
Many organizations agree that lack of active governance is a big problem, but few have a viable solution. In particular, it can be difficult to get buy-in and obtain funding for a non-revenue-generating initiative. However, information governance is a necessary process for any business that is required to keep both physical and digital records.
Fortunately, according to Michael Shufeldt, global director, digital market leader at Recall, there are reasons so compelling it would be difficult to ignore information governance when the effects are well understood. In this slideshow, he discusses how a proper information governance initiative can deliver a measurable and rapid ROI (return on investment) on key business case factors.

You don't have to be a genetic scientist to wrangle your own phenotype. Rayfish uses a graphical user interface for would-be Doc Moreaus to drag and drop up to nine individual traits—the mottled coat pattern of a giraffe, say, with the scarlet hue of the multi-spotted ladybug.
A pair of Rayfish sneakers starts at $14,800, which includes custom DNA manipulation and raising the fish to maturity.
A pair of Rayfish sneakers starts at $14,800, which includes custom DNA manipulation and raising the fish to maturity.
"Nature has already done the design work for us," says Raymond Ong, a bioengineer and CEO of Rayfish, on his website. "All we have to do is identify the genes responsible for coloration and patterning, and then implant the 'supergene' cluster into fetal rays before they are born. As the ray grows over the course of several months, it gradually expresses the predetermined patterns on its skin."
But genes aren't something you can just plug and play. Scientific wisdom states that the expression of physical traits at this level of specificity requires several genes to work together in tandem. (Not to mention there's no mention of Raymond Ong nor his Frankenfish in any scientific literature we know of.)
Growing your own kicks, in any case, doesn't come cheap. A pair of chimeric sneakers costs between $14,800 and $16,200, a price that includes custom DNA manipulation, raising the stingrays to maturity in a "humane" (per Rayfish) aquaculture facility in Chon Buri, and shipping them to any address on the globe.
Progress, perversion, or poppycock? We're at sea.
Update: Jan. 6, 2012
Livescience has a pretty compelling argument that this is a load of codswallop, which is to say, a hoax. "If you wanted to introduce the same coloration that a German shepherd has into a stingray, it wouldn't work because the tissues of a dog, a mammal, are different from the tissues of a stingray," Perry Hackett, a geneticist at the University of Minnesota, told the publication. "So the regulation of genes is likely not to be the same at all, even assuming you could do something like that."
Update: Dec. 26, 2012
Next Nature, a Dutch nonprofit that "explores how new technology causes the rising of a next nature" admitted on Friday that Rayfish was part of a seven-month long con. The fictional startup was designed to "catalyze a debate on emerging biotechnologies and the products it may bring us," the group admitted in a press release. "It furthermore questioned our consumptive relationship with animals and products in general."
Next Nature timed its revelation with the debut of The Rise and Fall of Rayfish Footwear, a short documentary available on YouTube.

* Ennahda makes effort to reassure business community
* Party is free market oriented but could ally with leftists
* Islamists could attract Gulf Arab investment as Europe suffers
By Andrew Hammond
TUNIS, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Tunisian Islamists who won a historic election victory this week are expected to promote business-friendly economic policies but Europe's economic woes could favour Gulf investors in the short term, analysts say.
Ennahda has tried hard to assuage the concerns of Western powers and secular elites which have long had the upper hand in the North African country that it will not alter laws that guarantee women equal rights to men in divorce, marriage and inheritance.
But it has also been keen to argue it will not cause any ruptures in Tunisia's economic life. The two are linked since Western tourism, with its expectations of sun, sand and drinking, has been an economic driver for Tunisia.
Ennahda secretary general Hamadi Jbeli singled out on Tuesday wine and bikinis as elements in attracting tourism that the party had no intention to touch. He also said Ennahda had no plans to make changes to the banking sector, where Sharia-compliant services are so far minimal.
"We will pay close attention to what they implement but on the economic side we have no cause for concern. Our biggest concern is long delays in government formation," said one Western diplomat in Tunis.
"A lot of their backers are from the merchant class who are keen on the idea of a liberal economic policy and they don't have serious plans to change the economic policy of previous governments."
Tunisia is under pressure to reinvigorate an economy that was hailed in recent years as a "miracle" by Western governments and financial institutions for its privatisations and deregulation but which has ground to a halt since the uprising that brought down Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in January.
Unemployment was at 14 percent before Ben Ali fell, and one third of the jobless had higher education. The figure is thought to have worsened in recent months.
The biggest problem facing the country is resource distribution. It is no accident that the revolt started in Sidi Bouzid, a depressed provincial town in the semi-arid zone of the Tunisian interior where resentment against the affluent coastal cities is strong.
"Economically, they are not radicals. Ennahda is quite conservative economically," said Jean-Baptiste Gallopin of Control Risks. "They favour free enterprise."
Ennahda leader Rachid Ghannouchi assured a delegation of bourse officials on Tuesday that he favoured more flotations on a stock market. Share prices fell in October on apparent fear of an Ennahda win, though Tunisia's Eurobonds did not react negatively to its victory.
An initial public offering in state operator Tunisie Telecom had been held up partly by the leftists who gained in influence after the revolution. Jbeli, who is tipped to be Ennahda's prime minister, met employers' federation leaders on Tuesday.
About 80 percent of Tunisia's trade is with the European Union, but with Europe in a financial crisis Ennahda could draw money from the conservative Gulf Arab region.
"Qatar in particular may feel encouraged to resume exploring investment opportunities in the country as the political situation stabilises," said Dubai-based analyst Ghanem Nuseibeh, founder of Cornerstone Global Associates.
"Although it did not proactively support the Tunisian revolution like it did in Libya, many Tunisians, including Ennahda feel indebted to Qatar for the moral support it gave to their cause," he said.
Saudi Arabia is not thought to have close ties to Ennahda, but Qatar's leading Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera has heavily promoted the group. Qatar was a major Arab backer of the NATO operation to back Libyan rebels who succeeded in ending the rule of Muammar Gaddafi.
Sama Dubai, a government-owned company in the emirate, had plans in the Ben Ali era to develop a residential and commercial district in Tunis but the future of the project is now not clear and the land sits empty.
Hardliners among Ennahda's rank-and-file could still rock the boat, despite Ghannouchi's attempts to offer reassurances on social and economic policy.
"The danger is that Ennahda members or influential independents foment fears among investors with unguarded comments that do not really reflect the party's intentions," said Crispin Hawes of the Eurasia Group.
"The net result is that we believe that investor sentiment over Tunisia will remain nervous and trending towards the negative in the aftermath of the election." (Additional reporting by Christian Lowe and Tarek Amara; Editing by David Stamp)

Nuclear neighbors, unite
Plymouth is leading an effort to establish a nationwide "Coalition of Nuclear Communities," and Southport, N.C., has joined the cause, according to Elizabeth Sullivan, special assistant to Plymouth's town manager. Sullivan said 104 nuclear reactors are currently operating in 31 states, and Plymouth is trying to bring those communities together to advocate for the safe handling of spent fuel rods. Plymouth officials hope more communities will follow Southport's example, she said. For more information about this coalition-in-the-making, visit www.nuclearcommunities.com.
