|Girl With a Pearl Earring
The plot is fairly contrived and melodramatic, like a pulp romance novel with lots of heaving bosoms and barely repressed desires--handsome poor boys, scary rich men, sexy untouchables, controlling old bags and cruelly jealous girls. Every element is here, and yet the story keeps us gripped due to its refusal to give into standard Hollywood plot structures. Meanwhile, the acting is far above average, with Johansson delivering yet another strikingly solid performance as a young girl waking up to the world around her, and making difficult decisions about her future. Firth, Wilkinson and Murphy add life to their rather underwritten roles, while the rest of the women are efficient stereotypes swirling around Griet. The production design is absolutely beautiful--each frame looks like a 17th century Dutch masterpiece! And Webber's direction is artfully light-handed; several scenes take our breath away with their raw beauty, often combined with a strong emotional resonance. So it's a bit frustrating that the film is so portentous; it takes itself so seriously that it's hard for us to really believe it. But in Johansson's remarkably expressive eyes, it still has the power to move us.

Forbidden love: Johansson and Firth.
|"I attended the gala of the movie at the 28th Toronto International Film Festival. My impressions of Girl With a Pearl Earring, from start to finish: it's as though you were watching a painting come alive. It pulls you into the life of the people in this painting and you feel for the two main characters. The colours, the cinematography, the fact that there was little dialogue especially; all of it was pure magic. Peter Webber and his crew deserve acclaim and the amazing Colin Firth was the one and only Vermeer. I really can't say enough about it. What a wonderful experience. Can't wait for it to come out in general release. Two very big thumbs up." --VermeerSA, Montreal 13.Sep.03

Two students at Chesterfield College are spearheading a fundraiser for a charity which helps children and young people with disabilities.
Georgi Clark and Heather Whitehead have organised a concert at the Proact stadium on Tuesday, December 15, in aid of Fairplay.
Heather is a volunteer at the Chesterfield-based charity which offers support to children and young people aged 0-25, and to their families.
Fairplay runs playschemes and Saturday clumbs for children, youth clubs, activity days, themed groups and independent living groups for young people. The charity organises parent support groups and family trips.
Georgi is related to Dan Booth of Nottingham-based band Ferocious Dog, who are selling out venues up and down the country. Violinist Dan and singer/guitarist Ken Bonsall from the band will be playing at this fundraiser.
Also on the bill is Max Restiano and his band. Although just 18 years old, singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Max has already caught the attention of some of the biggest names in showbusiness. Max has had some amazing opportunities from meeting Gary Barlow and performing on his solo album 'Since I Saw You Last' to playing on Donny Osmond's 60th album and playing saxophone and accordion with Olly Murs for a Children In Need special.
Latterly, Max has been working with Geri Halliwell in the studio and helping Peter Kay out on backing vocals.
Chesterfield's own Casey Lowry is bringing sparkling indie pop to the Proact stage. After returning from tour shows with Radio 1's 'Coasts' and 'The Hunna', in just two months as a solo artist the 18-year-old has headlined the 02 Academy in Sheffield where the old fans of his previous band Parka came out in force.
Alex Wallhead from Chesterfield has also signed up for the fundraiser. He took part in this year's X-Factor 2015, and made it to boot camp. Alex spent a short time in a boy band called Recall, and now he tours solo.
The concert starts at 7pm. General tickets £10, meet and greet £15 (6pm admission). To book, contact Georgi on 07811 383577.

FORTUNE – Getting into an elite law firm or management consulting firm may seem like a game of meritocracy: may the best-credentialed win, and may those with well-placed connections come in second. But what you play and whether you'd be fun to play around with after work may count much more than you think.
Excelling in the right sport could advance you to a second interview, and being likable — or a look-alike to your interviewer — may be crucial to landing a position at professional services firms, according to new research from Northwestern University. Such connections could give candidates an advantage over someone more qualified who doesn't share the same cultural interests or background as their interviewer.
Employers value feelings of comfort, validation, or excitement when meeting with job candidates over a prospect's superior cognitive or technical skills, according to the research paper published in the American Sociological Review's December issue. Some interviewers even bent the rules to advance a candidate with a similar cultural or socio-economic background as their own. They would consciously lower the technical bar for candidates with whom they had a great spark.
MORE: The rise of the 'Wimpy Kid' empire
"Because of the long hours on the job, I really want to select someone who I would personally get along with and would like," says Lauren A. Rivera, an assistant professor of management at Northwestern University. Often, employers want someone "who will be their friend" or even a lover, she says.
One investment banker in Rivera's study said he emphasized a candidate's social fit because "you will see way more of your co-workers than your wife, your kinds your friends…. So you can be the smartest guy ever, but I don't care. I need to be comfortable working everyday with you … and then going for a beer after. You need chemistry."
Rivera interviewed 120 professionals at investment banks, law firms, and a management consultancy. All were working professionals, not human resources professionals or recruiters, who were sent out to interview undergraduate or graduate students from Ivy League schools. All the candidates were considered talented because of their affiliation with those top universities.
Often, these professionals were told to hire people who were intelligent, great communicators, and had solid social skills, with no guidelines on how to evaluate those qualities, Rivera says. "So they use themselves as a proxy to judge 'is that person going to be good on the job?'"
Rivera says she found it surprising that leisure activities mattered so much at firms where workers often travel all week and devote 70-plus hours to their jobs, suggesting that it might reflect the interviewers' notions that work should be fun, and "you're not just hiring a worker, you're hiring a whole person."
"No one has any time to pursue these extracurricular activities once they get in their career," she says, except at a few firms where running marathons gives you status.
A majority of the hiring managers ranked cultural fit — the similarity to existing employees' backgrounds, hobbies, and presentation — as the most important criterion during a job interview.
One consultant and former athlete discounted the leadership abilities of someone who served as an editor-in-chief or president of a club in favor of those with sports experience. He ranked two athletes he met with highest and declined to interview those with a higher grade point average from more prestigious schools but no sports background.
One interviewer argued against inviting back a candidate for a second interview, saying, "He did well on the case and was very articulate. He's a very interesting guy with a good story. But I think he's too intellectual…. You know, he is very into 18th-century literature and avant-garde film…. I don't think he'd be a good fit."
MORE: 5 ways to keep employees excited
Yet some recruiters claim Rivera's research doesn't fully reflect hiring practices today. At many companies, "cultural fit is a broader term" that includes how people interact and get things done and their leadership style, says Elena Bajic, founder and CEO of online career network IvyExec.com. Bajic says that companies are developing analytic tools to determine whether a candidate will fit with an organization's culture, based on the notion that it's a solid predictor of a candidate's longevity and likelihood of success. That may not mean a candidate plays the same sport or have the same hobby as their bosses, Bajic says.
"In 30 years of recruiting, I've never seen anyone get a job specifically because they share an interest in hockey with the potential employer," says Jeff Zinser, president of Philadelphia area-based Right Recruiting.
People are primed to connect more easily with others who share their values and interests, Zinser argues, but they balance that with the need to hire the best person for an opening. Otherwise, they face the consequences of a bad or mediocre hire.
Northwestern's Rivera agrees that hiring managers she interviewed had a very different definition of cultural fit than a human resources person or executive might have. But, in many cases, these hiring managers are on the recruiting world's front lines at professional schools, weeding out candidates.
As she was finishing her paper and began work on a book on the same subject, Rivera says she talked to her students at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management about her findings. "They say, 'That's totally how it is…. The question is not 'can they do this job?' The real decision is, 'Do I want to have beer with this person?'"

Join us for a two-fold Open Forum event in which Alexander Read will present an insider's explanation of the Higgs boson, its importance to our existence, and how it was discovered. The talk is followed by a conversation with artist Daniel Slåttnes; a current masters student at the National Academy of Arts Oslo. In which Slåttnes will attempt to decode various complexities attached to this scientific discovery.
Alexander Read is professor of experimental particle physics at the University of Oslo and researcher at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, the home of the world-wide web and where the long-sought Higgs boson was discovered in 2012. Read and the particle physics group at the University of Oslo are members of the 3000+ strong ATLAS collaboration, one of the two experimental groups whose discoveries confirmed the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism by which fundamental particles obtain mass and thus led to the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2013 for the theoretical discovery of this mechanism in 1964.

ihp design team challenge
Don't you just LOVE dressing up for the holidays? I really love the rich colors, opulent fabrics, and sparkling jewels that are so frequently worn this season...it is the one time of year that it seems right to be lavish and dress a little over-the-top! That's why I thought it would be fun for our December design team challenge to be "inspired by fashion!"
My project is actually a combination of ideas and I'm not so sure I really pulled them off...I'm hoping it will remind you of a little jewelry box or chest of drawers....the top is almost like a pretty holiday corsage! I remember when every mom wore one!
It was my lingerie chest that inspired this shape using beautiful holiday prints and textures, and it just evolved as I was working. It would work great as a presentation for jewelry or candy or just about any small gift! Hehe...someone snarfed the nuggets that were supposed to go inside, so I had to finagle a little bit! ;)
Here are the i {heart} papers supplies I used:
Memory Box Mistletoe designer paper
Tim Holtz distress ink
Shimmer Spray
May Arts sheer ribbon
Petaloo mulberry flowers (colored with Copic markers)
Petaloo velvet leaves
Take a peek at what my friends have made!

Pretty Deb! My mom still wears the holiday pin that my brother gave her when he was 5! (He's 38 now!) It's a gaudy Rudolph but it goes on her winter coat every year- what fun memories!ReplyDelete

MEREDITH MCGARVEY TOOK A different path back into the professional world,
one that involved a lot of education and trying something new. Before having
kids, she worked as a corporate sales manager for Hyatt hotels. "I had always
imagined myself continuing to work after I had children, but the challenge
was finding something in my field that I could do part time," she says.
When her first child was 9 months old, the family relocated to London for her
husband's job. They were there for eight years, and McGarvey could not work
because she didn't have a work visa. She took this opportunity to take a few
classes and look at options for a second career.
"At the time I had no idea what that career would look like, but taking classescertainly kept my brain stimulated," she says. "After my second psychology class,I was hooked."McGarvey started talking to professionals and professors about careers inpsychology and did some volunteer work as a phone counselor with a help linefor children. "I realized that if it took me several years to complete my master'sin counseling, my kids would be at a more independent age and I could start mynew full-time career," she says.
After seven years — four at San Francisco State earning a master's degree in
counseling and three doing fieldwork — McGarvey is now a licensed marriage
and family therapist with a private practice in Larkspur.
"I work with adults, couples and adolescents, with a specialty in helping families transition through divorce and helping teens with anxiety and stress," she
says. "I also work in Marin County high schools as the program coordinator of
TeenScreen, which identifies teens at risk for emotional and social difficulties."
But she feels the benefits of going back to school and work far outweigh the
costs. "I am so happy that I have a fulfilling career now that my kids are in high
school and busy with their own lives. Along the way, they've learned some really
valuable skills like cooking, cleaning and feeling a sense of competency," she
adds. "Overall, going back to work has made me a better mom, a role model for
my kids and a much happier person."
• Stay connected and keep learning while out of work. Take
classes to get back up to speed or to see what interests you.
• Maintain contacts with your old career network if you might
go back to your prior line of work.
• Make contacts in your new line of work if you are thinking of
switching careers.

NORTH BETHESDA, MD – In previous seasons Strathmore has explored the piano, the guitar and great American composers—in its mapping of the influences that have forged American music, the arts center turns next to the violin with Storied Strings: The Violin in America, a season-long survey of violin repertoire that celebrates the role of the instrument in the development of American musical tradition. The 11-concert series includes performances in the Music Center and Mansion, as well as education events to better acquaint audiences with this pivotal influence on American music. For additional information and tickets, call (301) 581-5100 or visit www.strathmore.org
"The violin, or fiddle, is the common denominator in Native American, African American and European American music. It also forms a link between classical and traditional music," said Strathmore Artistic Director Shelley Brown. "Capable of evoking emotion across a wide range and depth, the violin and the impressive masters who play this beloved instrument will fill Strathmore's Storied Strings: The Violin in America with the music of our heritage, representing an expansive repertoire that is elegant, joyous, romantic, exploratory and ever-evolving."
The violin, referred to in some musical traditions as a fiddle, acquired most of its modern characteristics in 16th-century Italy, with additional modifications occurring in the 18th and 19th centuries. Heavy influence on early American fiddle playing came from Irish and Scottish fiddle styles, in addition to the more refined traditions of classical violin playing. The many European influences that accompanied the violin across the Atlantic lead to its dispersion across a wide variety of American musical styles, such as jazz and blues, folk music, bluegrass, rock and roll and metal—each with its own nuances of technique, musicianship and presentation.
Strathmore's Storied Strings: The Violin in America touches upon the many inflections of this instrument. When associated with folk music, many violin songs were never penned, but rather were passed down by ear through successive generations of musicians. A highlight concert of the series celebrates this tradition: with legendary violinist and composer Mark O'Connor performing a holiday concert of traditional Appalachian music. In addition, the vivacious fiddler Natalie MacMaster explores the influence of her native Cape Breton on New England musical styles. In a new concert program premiered at Strathmore, renowned fiddler Alasdair Fraser returns to the Music Center, leading Natalie Haas, Jay Ungar, Molly Mason and Dirk Powell in a survey of traditional American folk music.
Artists Jennifer Koh and the Marian Anderson String Quartet will reach back to the violin's rich classical roots, with Koh juxtaposing traditional music with contemporary arrangements, while the Quartet presents a concert of classical music and spirituals. The adaptability of the violin is underscored with a jazz performance by the Aaron Weinstein Trio, progressive modern violin by Kristin Lee and the National Philharmonic with Elaine Urioste. Emerging performers such as Casey Driessen, Chelsey Green and the Carpe Diem String Quartet provide a glimpse of the future of the instrument, with experimental arrangements, new works and unconventional technique.
Audiences will experience the spectrum of violin influence during the following concerts in Strathmore's Storied Strings: The Violin in America series:

Winner — Best Independent Recording at the Second Annual Native American Music Awards in 1999. Arigon recorded the music at two different studios in San Diego, California.
Aficionados of the three minute pop masterpiece, meet your diva, Arigon Starr. Her debut CD "Meet The Diva" deftly captures the spirit of contemporary Native America. Blending powerful imagery drawn from the spirit of Indian Country with her love of traditional pop music, Arigon's music is a spicy mix of pop and rock, with a deliberate dash of humor. This unique concoction of melody, grunge and sophisticated song structure has become known to the legion of Arigon Starr fans as "Native American Alternapop."
"I devoured every kind of music there was — from show tunes to country and western," Arigon recalled. Those lasting impressions drove her to perfect her craft. She spent her formative years singing in the choir, taking piano lessons and performing in school drama productions.
However, it was her love of pop music, especially that of the Beatles, which fueled her passion to pursue music as a full-time career. "The Beatles' music and humor compelled me to pick up a guitar and begin to write songs," Arigon reminisced. "In fact, the title of the CD, 'Meet The Diva,' is a homage to the Fab Four's first US LP, 'Meet The Beatles.'"
Arigon further honed her craft with solo performances on acoustic guitar. She played her original material on the stages of many coffeehouses and music festivals around Southern California. With a witty stage presence, skillful musicianship and thrilling vocals, Arigon began to attract an enthusiastic and loyal following. She decided in August 1996 to capture the raw power of her original music. Quickly forming a band, Arigon rigorously rehearsed the group and then took them into the studio to record the thirteen songs that comprise "Meet The Diva." "I was pleased to be surrounded by professionals in every step of the recording process. Their knowledge and expertise enabled me to translate my vision of brief, powerful and energetic pop tunes onto disc," Arigon enthused. "it was a joy to create music that Native Americans can enjoy and call their own. This is music everyone can experience and relate to on many different levels."

SHELBYVILLE � Sixth-ranked Columbia Central used a smothering defensive effort to complete a season sweep of Shelbyville.
SHELBYVILLE � Sixth-ranked Columbia Central used a smothering defensive effort to complete a season sweep of Shelbyville.
The Lady Lions held the Eaglettes without field goal for the first 9:42 of the game en route to a 56-31 win Friday night.
�It feels good to come out and beat them the way that we did,� said Columbia�s Aryanna Gilbert, who scored a game-high 17 points. �I think our defensive pressure and our attacking offense really got to them.�
The win was the 14th straight for Columbia (20-3, 7-0), which wrapped up at least a share of the District 8-AAA regular season championship with the win. The Lady Lions need to just win one of their final three district games to win the title outright.
�It�s awesome,� said Ayranna Gilbert. �It feels good to be undefeated in our district and we are going to just keep doing what we do.�
Columbia used its tenacious full-court defensive pressure to score 10 points off of eight turnovers by Shelbyville (10-13, 4-3) in the first quarter. For the game, the Lady Lions scored 16 points off 20 turnovers by the Eaglettes.
�We came out exactly like I wanted us to,� said Columbia coach Arnett Bodenhamer. �We came out in the first half and executed everything I wanted.�
MaKayla Timmons scored all 13 of her points in the decisive first quarter which saw Columbia build a 19-2 advantage.
�She woke up,� Bodenhamer said. �MaKayla got it in her head that she was going to dominate.�
The lead continued to swell in the second quarter as Kanytra Bumpas and Aryanna Gilbert combined for 10 points as the Lady Lions� lead expanded to 33-8 at halftime.
Shelbyville settled down in the third quarter as the Eaglettes� switching defense gave Columbia some problems, but the Lady Lions� lead never dipped below 20 points in the second half.
Keiana Gilbert was the third of three Columbia players in double figures with 10 points, while Bumpas supplied six points.
Jameka Bradon had eight points to lead the Eaglettes with To�Nesha Allison adding seven points.
�We�ve got a bunch of young kids and we kind of just got on our heels,� said Shelbyville coach Kevin Thomas. �(Columbia) getting off to a good start was the difference in the game.�

What God is Doing for Us
"…he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father" John 14:12
"I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." Revelation 19:10
Healing and Relief from Pain
Last February, I had a devotional published, entitled Priceless Stones. That is a testimony itself! I gave a copy to one of my coworkers, who has been reading through it each day. He shared with me that several friends have recently called him who are dealing with sickness or pain in their bodies. Each time this has come up in conversation, he has been opening the book to a chapter on healing and reading it to them over the phone. Every time he he has done so, his friends have immediately shared that they feel better already!

How The Rich And Famous Relieve Stress
If you think that the rich and famous relieve stress through wine, women and song, you're wrong. If you believe they achieve enlightenment through sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, again that's incorrect. Although there must be some that follow this path, an increasing number of the well-to-do are pursuing something more substantial. It's called meditation. Meditation is nothing new. In fact, it dates back hundreds, even thousands of years

Bonds are the Rodney Dangerfield of investments. They get no respect, and apparently they're also Mr. Burns's son.
It's pretty obvious why many investors want nothing to do with bonds in the year 2016 (WHERE ARE THE FLYING CARS? HUH?). The interest rate offered on high-quality bonds is less exciting than a date with your sister. GIC yields are even worse. And even though the TSX finished 2015 in negative territory, stock pickers are still comforted by the fact that it's easy to build a dividend portfolio that yields more than anything but the riskiest bond fund. Add in dividend growth and solid results from U.S. stocks when converted back to local currency, and it probably wasn't a bad year for the folks who insist on being 100% into stocks.
Related: The surprising reason why you should own bonds. OOOH TEASE
An argument I often hear from folks who are fully invested in stocks goes something like this. I don't need no stinking bonds, they say, because I'll be collecting CPP when I retire. That, combined with any pensions I might have, are the perfect bond substitute.
There are lots of similarities between bonds and CPP. Both offer predictable payments. Both aren't known for growing the distributions they pay much, if at all. And both are far more stable than stocks. They're even more stable than a well diversified portfolio of dividend growth stocks. Even if a company goes bankrupt, usually some remnant of the pension remains.
These points are true. But the folks who think CPP is a bond substitute are missing a couple of important points.
What about the capital?
The big issue with pensions and CPP is you can't access the cash. With certain pensions you might be able to get a lump sum payment, but it's generally not a good idea. The whole point of having a pension is you sit back, relax, and money falls out of the sky each month.
Meanwhile, if you buy a whole portfolio of bonds, GICs, or whatever fixed-income substitute you want to use, you have access to that cash at any time. You might have to pay a bit of a penalty to get out, but it shouldn't take much longer than a day to get your money. All of it.
The other thing about pensions is at the end of the day, you're getting interest plus some of your money back. If you live longer than expected, it's okay. Your buddy Tim probably keeled over before he was expected. Thank him for his share when you visit his grave.
Thus, I think the whole comparison is off. Pensions aren't a bond substitute. They're annuity substitutes. There are a lot of similarities between annuities and bonds, but they're not the same products. Not by a long shot.
The real reason bonds are important
Most investors gloss over the real reason why bonds are a big deal. They level out returns during periods of uncertainty.
I've argued before for a system that increases an investor's bond allocation to between 80 and 100% between the ages of 60 and 65, especially if the market is hitting new highs. The argument is that you want to lock in gains at that point and ensure there's going to be enough left over for spoiling the grandkids and buying pants that go up to your armpits. Once you hit retirement age, you start to increase the risk tolerance again, eventually ending up at a more traditional bond/stock mix.
The whole reason why bonds are important to a portfolio is they do well during periods when stock markets don't. As a perfect example, take a look at bond returns compared to TSX Composite returns for the year of 2015.
The total return on that bond ETF would have approached 4%. That ain't bad when compared to the TSX Composite. A 50/50 split between bonds and stocks wouldn't have lost much more than 5% after considering dividends.
I'm continuing to buy Canadian stocks at these levels because I can find good value out there. I'm even selling off some bonds and preferred shares to do so. Bonds also serve as a terrific capital base for folks who are fully invested.
Back in 2014, I couldn't find much to invest in. So I threw money into one-year GICs and promo accounts from a certain orange-colored bank. I averaged around a 2% return, which ain't very sexy.
But I also protected my capital. And now that I'm finding value in the Canadian market, I'm putting it to work again. I'm buying the stocks I picked for the stock picking contest, plus some other, more conservative choices. I have this capital available because I kept 20% of my money in fixed income when times were good. Somebody 100% invested in stocks back in 2014 has very little capital available to take advantage of a downturn.
If you allocate CPP as your bond substitute, you won't have that money available to invest when there are opportunities out there. You're stuck taking all the risk of the stock market. If you're old enough to be collecting CPP in the first place, that's a bad idea.
Look at CPP as an annuity, not as bonds. If you do, you'll likely see the pros of having a healthy bond component when you retire. Remember, retirement isn't about ending up with the most cash. It's about protecting the cash you already have.

Bookstore | FICTION | MYSTERY & DETECTIVE
Like many women in their fifties, Emma Golden feels invisible. She lives quietly in her Portland, Oregon bungalow and minds her own business. But her tranquil life is about to change. She is asked to return to the rolling hills of her former wine country home south of the city to supervise a friend's bed and breakfast inn near Dundee.
Emma arrives at the Westerly Inn during grape harvest. She is under contract to write a book about Oregon wineries, and it's business as usual until she discovers one of her subjects dead in a wine vat—murdered at his own dinner party.
Cougar Crossing Winery owner Ted Maxell was a ruthless and dishonest newcomer to the northern Willamette Valley wine scene. Many people wanted him gone—including his son, many local winegrowers, and even Emma's ex-husband, Dwight. Then Maxell's daughter, Tiffany, calls Emma and begs for assistance. "I know who killed my father," she wails. When Emma answers Tiffany's cry for help, she finds herself drawn into the search for a murderer or murderers with secrets worth killing for.

Hi all. Assisting in Avid for an editor that has requested subclips of synced picture/audio with the production audio to be reduced to 2 tracks (down from 6 total tracks). That subclip has to be able to match frame back to the masterclip (with all original 6 audio tracks synced to the masterclip). DIT has already made my MXF masterclips, outside of Avid, without any audio synced in. Autosync in Avid only creates subclips, it doesn't update the master clips. Do I have to autosync in avid, transcode those subclips to new masterclips, then bring those in and subclip from there? Or sound sync in an entirely different program and then re-transcode to MXF? Is there something I'm missing here?
Hi chfarmer89 and welcome to the forums. If You lay down Your video clip to a sequence named after the scene number, than lay down the audio clip desired two tracks in sync and apply autosync to the sequence in the bin, You should end up with two audio tracks sync clips that will match frame back to the original six tracks audio clip. You can even lay down all Your audio and video clips to a single sequence, subclip (subsequence), rename the sequences after the scene number, and autosync. For this to work You'll have to have subsequences with audio and video of the same length, so cut any exceeding stuff, both at head and tail, whether audio or video, if either one is shorter/longer than the other (quite likely). Not in front of a system to double check right now, but it used to work this way, and I hope it still does.

text: Hi everyone, I was having a go at a simple implementation of Maybe in Python when I stumbled on a case where x.__mul__(y) is defined while x*y is not. The class defining x is: class Maybe(object): def __init__(self, obj): self.o = obj def __repr__(self): return 'Maybe(%s)' % object.__getattribute__(self, "o") def __getattribute__(self, name): try: o = object.__getattribute__(self, "o") r = getattr(o,name) if callable(r): f = lambda *x:Maybe(r(*x)) return f else: return Maybe(r) except: return Maybe(None) The code exercising this class is: >>> x=Maybe(9) >>> x.__mul__(7) Maybe(63) >>> x*7 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#83>", line 1, in <module> x*7 TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'Maybe' and 'int' The farthest I can go in this is that I presume that __mul__ (as called by operator *) is supposed to be a bound method while I am returning a lambda function. Is this correct? And How can I make the implementation support such operators? Cheers, Muhammad Alkarouri

Coca-Cola is building on its `All colas are not the same' sales drive with a new campaign, which goes on air this Monday. The new commercial, created by Bartle Bogle Hegarty, is set in Prohibition New York and based on a true story. Shot in black and white, `Feds' features a raid by the New York police on a Coke counterfeiting operation in the Bronx. The ad tries to reproduce the feel of the period, using original Thirties glass bottles from the company's archives, and is filmed in an abandoned distillery.
The catchline, `If it doesn't say Coca-Cola, it's not the Real Thing', will be printed on Coke's packaging from March onwards.

"Once we create a soil environment that is healthy and sustainable, we start to see plant life that is also much healthier and much more sustainable." -Randy Ritchie, founder of Malibu Compost
What is biodynamic compost tea? How do you use it? And why use it when there's already fertilizers, composts and other amendments on the market?
To answer your fascination in biodynamic compost tea for your garden, founder Randy Ritchie of Malibu Compost answers a Q&A on the definition, application and benefits of using this biodynamic product!
For residents of Skagit or Whatcom County, our Compost Tea Party is this Saturday on July 11th at 11am here at the Garden Spot Nursery. Randy will be discussing Malibu Compost Bu's Brew™ Biodynamic® Compost Tea in depth while we snack on scones and tea (the kind for us and not our plants)!
AH: What is compost tea?
RR: Compost Tea is liquified extraction of compost. The quality of the compost will depend on the level of microbial diversity, nutrient density and organic purity. Our biodynamic compost is the perfect base component for a really beneficial compost tea that will revitalize soil and feed your plants at the same time.
AH: Has it been in the horticulture industry for long?
RR: Compost tea has been around for a long time in a variety of forms, nature being the first. Compost tea is really a form of bio-mimicry. For example, it rains in a forest, the water pools up around the base of a tree, the water filters through the leaf mold into the soil below, taking with it billions of microbes along with beautiful decomposed organic matter. I first learned about it from my grandmother in New Jersey who used finished, composted dairy cow manure in a sock that sat overnight in water. She fed her tomatoes with it. She called it "tomato juice." That was in the 60's. I used to water her Jersey tomatoes with it, so I guess, I've been using it personally for a loooonnngg time!
AH: How does it work?
RR: Compost and other items like castings, powdered fish hydosolate or kelp meal are put into a micron filter extractor bag, or organic muslin tea bag in our case. The bag is soaked in water between eight to twelve hours and extraction for twenty-four hours if it is aerated with a pump. I'm focusing on extractions, although I use a lot of aerated teas on our farm and landscape projects. The microbes come alive in the water and the "good stuff," the major and minor nutrients and trace minerals are extracted into the "brew" which becomes a bock, beer-colored liquid through the process.
AH: How does a home gardener apply it?
RR: The compost tea extraction can be used as a drench straight out of the bucket, in a watering can or a foliar feed or spray through a half-gallon or larger pump sprayer.
AH: When is the best time to use it?
RR: I usually feed the teas in the morning, especially if I am spraying fruit trees or the garden plot because I don't want the moisture to create stress on the leaf structure of the plants when the sun gets too hot. It could possibly cause leaf burn as it evaporates the liquid. The teas will not cause burn, but the sun and water certainly can.
AH: Where is it mostly used?
RR: I use it everywhere. We have a massive rose garden that we do in the city of Oakland with teas. I help manage several organic orchards and organic food grows. We use the tea in conjunction with our beautiful compost, as well as the on-site compost we make on many urban farms and landscape sites. It and the compost have all of the nutrients and minerals necessary to grow really healthy soil and plants.
AH: Why is compost tea useful for gardeners?
RR: It is an essential component of a truly organic protocol in the garden. Again, depending on the source of the compost that is used in the tea as well as any other ingredients that might be added, it is safe, non-toxic, easy-to-use and the best organic amendment for helping to build good organic soil, grow healthy plants and a facilitate a more peaceful, yet vital environment at the home, garden or farm.
AH: Is it an alternative to other soil products or fertilizers?
RR: We ease a lot of people off of their chemical and synthetic gardening practices by starting with compost teas. It has a very quick affect on the plants because it gets a readily available nutrient source right to the root level for uptake. We have seen plants turn-around overnight with a nice compost tea application. We don't believe in the NPK myth, or turning our plants into fertilizer addicts. Compost tea is nature's way of feeding the microbes and the plants for a healthier, more vital garden.
AH: What are the advantages and disadvantages to using compost tea?
RR: The advantages are clear, improved soil vitality and soil structure, a great food source for the microbes in the soil, healthier plants—which in turn are more disease and pest resistant—as well as the teas bring a great aid ion for dealing with fungal issues like powdery mildew and rust. The only disadvantage I see is people making teas out of inferior compost, or unfinished composts, which can be highly anaerobic and potentially toxic.
AH: How does Malibu Compost Tea compare to other compost teas on the market, especially with biodynamic practices?
RR: Malibu Compost Teas have the highest food-grade purity level on the market because we test for GMO's, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, as well as do biological screening that test for microbial diversity and AG analysis that shows that there are no pathogens, heavy metals or pH issues happening in our products. The biodynamic preparations are the secret to creating vitality and soil health with our teas.
AH: What are the short and long term effects of using compost tea?
RR: The short-term effect is immediate uptake of whatever the plants might be needing in terms of nutrition. The long-term effect is overall soil and garden health. One of the things that I love about compost teas is when using a really good compost like ours you cannot overdo it. You're not going to burn your plants as you can with many other fertilizers. You're not going to stress your garden out or stress the microbes out who are working hard to create food and balance in your garden.
AH: How does this benefit the soil and plant material?
RR: Traditional chemical and synthetic fertilizers kill off large numbers of microbes in the soil, and create environments that are in a highly weakened state. The use of good, truly organic compost teas keeps growing the numbers of beneficial microbes in the soil, both bacteria and fungi, which attract the the larger protozoa who will eat the smaller microorganisms and in-turn poop out beautiful plant available nitrogen. Once we create a soil environment that is healthy and sustainable, we start to see plant life that is also much healthier and much more sustainable.

text: Mark and I have a little phrase we use when we've tried to do something awesome that ended up being too much of a good thing: we flew too close to the sun. Taking the kids to Disney until 2am and then watching them all have a meltdown? We flew too close to the sun. Taking four kids to happy hour at our favorite hipster joint? We flew too close to the sun. Inviting every child from two different kindergarten classes to a birthday party? We flew too close to the sun. I hate to admit this, but our travel schedule this year is fitting into this category. Mark and I love to travel, but we've been grounded for the past 7 years. First we had 3 years of being foster parents before Jafta's adoption was finalized, which meant we couldn't even leave the state without getting permission from social services. This was followed by 2 years of Kembe having refugee status, with no passport to travel. We've been itching to get out of the country and this year, with our adoption and citizenship dramas winding down, we made Big Plans. We started a travel savings fund, and also said yes to some fun trips offered through my job. So when we planned the schedule and saw a trip to Ethiopia closely followed by a trip to Mexico closely followed by a trip to New York closely followed by a trip to Haiti closely followed by a cruise, all I saw was TRAVEL! EXCITING! YAY!!! I perhaps did not think through the havoc this would wreak on my life. Especially being in the midst of a home remodel. And especially since I still have the same overcommitted deadlines I always have, but now with less time to complete them. I feel like the past few months have been a series of weeks where I am traveling, then scrambling to finish everything before I travel, then traveling again. It has been feast or famine: weeks of travel followed by weeks of waking up, sitting at my computer, and writing until the sun goes down to squeeze two week's of work into one. It has been so much fun . . . and yet so exhausting. This weekend all six of us leave for a trip to Peru. We've got some dear friends who live in Peru working for Krochet Kids. We've been wanting to visit them for so long but the pricey airfare has been a deterrent. Last spring I saw a random tweet that a newer airline was offering $250 round-trip tickets from LAX to Lima, and I jumped on it. I noticed that it was two weeks after all of us went on a cruise, but I figured it would be no big deal. Travel! New places! Yay! HAHAHAHA. These two weeks have been pure insanity as I've tried to catch up and also get all my work done before another trip. I suspect this vacation will be another example of the Howertons flying too close to the sun. For one, we are taking an overnight flight to get there. Almost 15 hours of travel time, including a layover in Columbia. Also, 've decided that we've got to see Machu Picchu while we are there. I know the kids are too young to enjoy it, and it will probably be another example of us Taking Our Kids to a New, More Expensive Place to Whine. Chances are they won't understand it or enjoy it and they will get tired and I will end up yelling at everyone and then resenting them for their lack of appreciation. Not to mention, we've decided that during the Machu Picchu portion of the trip, we are going to backpack it. As in, each person carrying their own belongings in a backpack. As in, riding in on a backpacker's train. As in, staying at a backpacker's hostel. Even as I type this I realize how completely insane that sounds to do with a 3-year-old, two kindergartners and a 2nd grader. But dang it, we are doing to try. We may be guilty of flying too close to the sun. But we will never be accused of being boring.
