How Oscar Nominee 'Argo' Escaped the Black List
Before "Argo," screenwriter Chris Terrio had written half a dozen screenplays–three of them had landed on Hollywood's "Black List" while the rest sat in a drawer for years.
But "Argo," Terrio's first script to be plucked from the Black List for feature-film production, was directed by Ben Affleck and produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov. It has also led to an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for Terrio.
"I had screenplays that went around Hollywood and independent film land, that got close and didn't make it," Terrio said.
"So I feel like I've won the lottery to have a movie that a) gets made, b) gets made by a great film director, and c) to have people see it and to even have it in the same conversation as other films this year," he said.
"Argo" has been on an award-collecting path to the Oscars that will air on Feb. 24. The film recently won the BAFTA, Golden Globe (Drama) and the Critics Choice Awards for Best Picture, and it's nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture.
Terrio also won the Scripter Award, which he shared with journalist Joshuah Bearman and Antonio Mendez, the real-life CIA officer who hatched the plan for staging a fake Hollywood movie called "Argo" to free six Americans hiding in Tehran amid the Iran Hostage Crisis.
Since then, another of Terrio's screenplays, "The Ends of the Earth," has been picked up by The Weinstein Co. with actress Jennifer Lawrence attached — "which shows you how the world goes around because that script has been in my drawer for years," Terrio said.
In another reversal of fortune, he is now beginning work on a screenplay which, unlike those early screenplays he wrote in obscurity, already has a high-profile director (Paul Greengrass) and star (George Clooney). The untitled film will be set in the New York criminal underworlds, but Terrio hesitates to talk about it much. "It only exists as a hundred Post-its on my wall right now," he said.
The Wall Street Journal chatted with Terrio about "Argo."
How did you collaborate with Tony Mendez on this screenplay?
In the summer of 2009, I went down to Maryland and spent some time with him. He lives at the edge of the woods in what looks like Ken Burns Civil War documentary territory. So we spent time just hanging out, having dinner, talking, having a bottle of wine. He then took me to Washington D.C. and to the CIA. So I was able to get a tour of Langley and see some of the more public spaces which then ended up being exactly where we shot. I was brought to those halls of the CIA that still kind of looked like a 1960s building. Even the same art is on the wall in 1979 in some cases. Then he started introducing me to other Cold War spies, many of whom still live in the D.C. area because a lot of them work as consultants for security companies. In some cases they were KGB spies that were Tony's nemeses in the Cold War.
How did he react when he read it? For example, he was still married during the operation, which differed from the film.
That was something that I worried about because Tony's first wife passed away and in the film, what we say is that they're taking time off, which is that they're not living together. Famously, the CIA is somewhere where marriages hardly ever last because it's obviously such a strange lifestyle. I tried to extrapolate some of the tensions in Tony's personal life and then just physicalize them by saying Tony and his wife aren't living in the same spot. Tony and his first wife in some ways had a successful CIA marriage because until unfortunately she passed away, they were together. But Tony was okay with my trying to dramatize the low boil of tension that's always in a marriage like that. In fact there's a scene in the film that's taken right out of what Tony told me, which is when Tony Mendez takes off his wedding ring and puts it down on the dresser before he heads off to Tehran, which was kind of a ritual Tony always did. He would quietly sort of take off his wedding ring, always put it in the same little bowl, and then he'd go off assuming a new identity. In that same shot of the film, you see a photograph of a little boy, and that is Ian Mendez, Tony's real son, who also passed away.
On the other hand, you didn't speak to the real-life house guests before writing "Argo." Why is that?
I thought that I had to be confident that it was from Tony's point of view that I was telling the story and that point of view, I think of it as a railroad track and there are various tracks that come off the railroad track. So for Tony, I really wanted to know everything, down to what kind of shoes he wore. But then as far as some of the other stories around him, that's when I felt I needed to open up dramatic space. As a writer, I wanted to be able to enter the residence like Tony did, having his point of view in the whole thing. As I began to develop the house guests in my head, they sort of took on lives of their own. And then of course later on, there were things that were changed, because as soon as we got further along in the process, Ben spoke to the house guests, I did, they would say "well, you got this wrong" or "this is right." It's an interesting superstition as a writer. Where do you create fact and where do you want to touch earth for reality and the places where you feel you need to open up dramatic space to write? You're reading as much as you can and knowing as much as you can, but in terms of interacting with the real people, you have to choose carefully because biological human beings sitting in the room with you are very powerful things.
Talk about some of the liberties that you and Affleck took at the end of the film, particularly the escape scene, compared with the actual exfiltration.
We put so much deliberation and debate into it because the end of the film does unapologetically use drama elements to try and grab the audience by the collar and say, here, watch this. In a film, you have to externalize things that are internal and of course it becomes a debate about to what extent you do that. You have to create the mimetic experience of the lived moment and when you read about the house guests and later when we talk to the house guests, they would describe this incredible euphoria when the plane took off. That they almost couldn't believe it. So we have the advantage in 2013 of living in the future and knowing that six people were not executed in Tehran in 1980, and so the question becomes, how do you then work against what your head is telling you and put the audience in an almost physical experience of what it was like to be on the plane? Ben and I decided that we were going to really go for it and use sight and sound in the cinema in a way that could make you feel as tense as the house guests actually were. It's not something we take lightly. I certainly don't take it lightly as a screenwriter. I think there are lines that you draw yourself. You draw yourself a tennis court and you say I'm not going to step out of these lines. I would not have people shooting at the plane. I would not have had people killed on the runway. I would not have had one of the house guests left behind. There are certain things I would not have done, but tonally to create a really tense scene is something that within those bounds I certainly feel a dramatic license allows us to do.
There has been a lot of talk lately about the role of women in the CIA, with films like "Zero Dark Thirty." What was the role of women in the CIA in the Argo operation?
Well, first of all, we have two characters at the State Department who I think are really interesting people and characters: Cora Lijek and Kathy Stafford. From the State Department point of view, I feel that women maybe had an easier time at the State Department than at the CIA. There's a crack in the movie where one character kind of condescendingly, almost "Mad Men" style, says "The faculty wives were the typing pool," regarding Kathy and Cora. When you look at that room full of men making decisions, they are all men in the room. Some of that was informed by talking to Jonna Mendez, Tony's wife, who was a CIA officer. She told me things like you could have a foreign service degree from Georgetown, but if you were a women you would essentially start at the CIA as a typist. That was an interesting thing that went into the mix as I was thinking about this environment because so many of the scenes in the CIA are men wearing big ties, talking. From that point of view I think it's really interesting to have in the same year, a film in which even the best and the brightest of women are kept to the typing pool in the world of the CIA, and then cut to later on, to have a movie where the Maya character really is the center of the whole bin Laden operation.

Oops, something didn't work.
I'm not an artist, but this looks quite impressive and fun to use.
Very impressive demo. For the first time, it looks like I could really "paint" using a pc. I have used most all programs and tablets.
As a designer and artist, may I be involved in the development/testing of this application?
Thank you for considering it.
James Leahy
Will we ever be able to get it in our hands?
ı am not an artist!!!
This looks fantastic. I just hope Microsoft will make this available to the public some day.
Beautiful. It would make a lovely core to a "Expression Paint" product. I'm just saying, the bitmap tools in 'Design are rather basic...
What kind of hardware/tablet is used?
I am an artist and I'm intrigued by Project Gustav, but what's the quality like when printing? Even if you're printing on canvas, the end product isn't going to be anything like an original oil painting. I'm also curious to the color mixing ability. I'd love to test this. I'm located in Seattle.
I am an amateur artist. Currently I am trying out ArtRage, but I too am really intrigued and amazed by Gustav. Can we somehow/anyhow have a preview version of this for testing, till you guys come up with the actual product?
Great Job!
I hope some day you create a calligraphy pen that responds just like a real calligraphy pen. I blogged about this video on my calligraphy artwork site:

We even cater to the outdoor enthusiast that desires to develop their skiing, avalanche awareness skills, and Wilderness First Response Certifications. Both 'academic' and 'activity' components are part of every class, often challenging both mind and body."

Coaching Is Not a One Man Job
Coaching is not a one man job. I don't care if your name is Dave Pietramala (Johns Hopkins' Coach) or Jim Berkman (Salisbury's Coach) you can't do it alone. That goes for any level of coaching. If you want to win or be more productive the more qualified coaches the better. Think of every good team in college or pro sports they have coaches for offenses and defense, some even more. The big college programs and professional teams have different helpers doing extra tasks to bring players water. As a result the best way to get better at something is to watch the best and apply that to your team.
Last year when I knew I was going to coach for the first time, the first mission was to see if my friends that I understood and played sports could help me out. One wanted to help out right away, his name was Randall Palmer. He played football in high school and had free time after work. He was excited to say the least. Then my next goal was to get my other friend to Cory Spence, who will post on here now and then, to coach with me too. He has played football and basketball in high school. When Randall and Cory said they were going to help when they could I knew it was a good thing for the team. For many different reasons, first they understood sports and knew that the boys had to be productive if they wanted to get better. Second, they were willing to learn the game of lacrosse from scratch. Third, I trusted them with the boys if I wasn't there. That is important, when looking for helpers/coaches you want to make sure you can trust them. Since they are going to be around the boys and parents hear everything from kids and every choice you make get analyzed.
I didn't have time before the season to teach them much about the game. So, if you can get to your new coaches or helper before the season that will make things a lot easier. One thing I think this past summer was take the US Lacrosse Level 1 Coaching Clinic. I would suggest, no matter what level if you are a coach you should take that. It was great to be around a bunch of coaches and level from some of the best was a neat experience and will help your program a lot.
When our practices started last year I set up drills and had Randall and Cory run them. I would give them things to watch for so that they were still helping the player progress. An example would be, on ground ball drills I wanted the guys to get after players to have two hands on their stick at all times and for good body position. That way I could do more coaching during the drills and they could make sure the guys are being productive. Plus they were learning on the job. Then towards the end of drills I would go setup the next drill and when I was ready I would call them over and do the same process again.
Something else to think about is what your new coach's backgrounds was in or even yours, because that can play a factor. As the season went on we needed to get away from the basics so since I played attack I would work with the offense and Randal and Cory would work with the defense. I would explain what needed to happen at first. With both Randal and Cory have sports background they knew how the basics of defense to JV players, and did a great job.
As the season went on I asked my high school goalie and good friend to come help out a couple of times. He did and that made a huge difference. Then I got a another friend to help out and be just a helper, that was nice because that just saved me a lot of time from doing things that wasted time during practice. And as the season went on the things fell into place and the team started to improve their skills just like my little coaching staff.
I tell you my story to verify that fact that anyone can coach if they have passion for the game. I hope this helps you get more people or friends to help coach lacrosse with you.
Coaching is hard enough, get help. It will make a difference, trust me. If you put in the same passion to coach your coaches as you do you players. It will make your life easier and your players will develop faster.

Systemwide Events Calendar
Public Health Colloquium for March 2013March 14, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Manoa Campus, Biomed D-207, 1960 East West Road
Jane Chung-Do, DrPH
Assistant Professor, SBHS
Dept. of PH Sciences‐JABSOM
"Hawai'i's Caring Community Initiative: Building a Safety Net for Youth Suicide Prevention"
Date: Thurs, Mar. 14, 2013
Time: 12 noon-1:00pm
Location: UH-Manoa, Biomed room D-207
This presentation will focus on the Hawai'i's Caring Communities Initiative (HCCI), which is a study funded by the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The goal of HCCI is to prevent youth suicide and increase early intervention efforts throughout the State of Hawai'i.
Epidemiological data will be presented to illustrate the disproportionate impact of youth suicide on rural and Native Hawaiian communities in Hawai'i. To address these disparities, HCCI has partnered with six community organizations in Kahuku, Waimānalo, Kaua'i, Maui, Moloka'i, and Hilo to provide training and technical assistance on national evidence-based strategies on youth suicide prevention. The community-university partnership framework of HCCI will be described to highlight how evidence-based practices can be translated to fit the unique needs and strengths of each community and support the development of community awareness campaigns that are community-led and culturally-grounded.
Dr. Jane Chung-Do obtained her MPH in Social and Behavioral Health Sciences and DrPH in Community and Translational Research from the University of Hawai'i Department of Public Health Sciences. Her research interests include positive youth development, youth and minority mental health, rural health disparities, and culturally-based programming.

At certain convenience stores or gas stations,usually in the hood, they make you "pay before you pump" to keep you from stealing gas, similar to a "trick" having sex with a prostitute or a "hoe". You have to pay before you "pump". This could make you feel like a gas trick.
I'm sick of gas trickin'!! How come I can't pay for my gas after I pump like they do in the burbs'?

- Colour refers to a diamond's lack of colour, grading the whiteness of a diamond.
- A colour grade of D is the highest possible, while Z is the lowest.
- Blue Nile only sells diamonds with a colour grade of J or higher.
Colour manifests itself in a diamond as a pale yellow. This is why a diamond's colour grade is based on its lack of colour. The less colour a diamond has, the higher its colour grade. After cut, colour is generally considered the second most important characteristic when selecting a diamond. This is because the human eye tends to detect a diamond's sparkle (light performance) first, and colour second.
At Blue Nile, you'll find only the finest diamonds with colour graded D-J. Diamonds graded J or better are colourless or near-colourless, with colour that is typically undetectable to the unaided eye.

"Mad Men" 6x13
Episode title: "In Care Of"
Significance: A direct reference to the letter Sally gets from the DA's office, in care of Don Draper, regarding her testimony about the burglar. But in a much, make that MUCH larger sense, a reference to fractured families, gradually replacing nuclear families and coming to the forefront in the late 1960's in America and especially in the "Mad Men" universe. As Megan aptly put it, "I used to feel sorry for them. But I realize now we're all in the same boat."
Time passages: The episode takes place during the week before Thanksgiving 1968, several weeks after Richard Nixon has been elected president and, according to Drunk Don, "everything is back where Jesus wants it."
Episode essay I: "The only unpardonable sin is to believe that God cannot forgive you."
That barroom minister's reproach (and did you hear "Band of Gold" playing in the background just like in the pilot?) triggered something in Don Draper nee Dick Whitman. At first it was just a memory, another unpleasant journey back to a place and a time he'd rather forget, a place and time where he'd occasionally rifle through the pockets of the men visiting the prostitutes and steal spare change in exchange for a Hershey bar.
Then that memory became a ball of anger, which was not good news for the minister, who got punched, or Don Draper, who wound up in a drunk tank that looked mysteriously like the Hell he had been reading about on a beach in Hawaii a little less than a year earlier.
And that ball of anger grew and festered inside the former Dick Whitman, until he could take it no more and had to do what sinners almost always do: Confess.
So before a room full of Hershey executives and his own shocked colleagues, Don Draper, the chameleon who'd taken a chance opportunity to become someone else and had furiously guarded that new identity, even as it destroyed him slowly from the inside out, confessed what it was like to be Dick Whitman and described to every what the real "currency of affection" is. He told them what it was like to be alone and what it was like to feel normal, what it was like to dream of being one of Milton Hershey's orphans, one of the lucky ones.
And what a confession it was – a confession that in all likelihood cost Don Draper his job, his pretty young wife and, yes, even his identity. (And a confession that just might win Jon Hamm an Emmy.) But it brought him something else, something more valuable, and given the depths we've seen Don Draper sink to, something most unlikely, something we saw for just a second in a little girl's glance. That confession brought Dick Whitman forgiveness.
And if the son of a whore who grew up somewhere in Pennsylvania can be forgiven his many sins that leaves really only one major question to look toward in the final season of "Mad Men." Dick Whitman reinvented himself once as Don Draper, but is it now possible for Don Draper to reinvent himself as Dick Whitman?
Episode essay II: We know how traumatic the 1960's (and especially 1968) were for America and that's been subtext all season on "Mad Men." But we got a real sense in "In Care Of" of the personal toll the decade took on families, a toll we're still feeling keenly in 2013.
We know all too well the havoc Don and Betty have wreaked upon their one-time perfect nuclear family unit, but to hear them realize it so keenly and talk about it was somewhat of a revelation.
And even as the turtlenecked Ted Chaough was whisking Peggy into bed we knew the future they were planning was not the future they'd have. We knew Ted would try to save his shaky family life (although we didn't know he'd beg Don for the chance to go to California to do it).
And poor Pete, who drove himself off the Chevy account on a day that was most definitely not great, was reminded of just what he'd lost by driving Trudy away (although Trudy gave him such a great pep talk we half believe Pete can rebuild his life in California).
And what to make of the Thanksgiving tableau in Joan's apartment? She the breadwinner, Bob Benson (who might not know himself if he's gay or straight) donning an apron and silver-haired Roger bearing gifts of cranberry and thankful for a chance to part of his son's life. Try to turn that into stick figures on your minivan window. (Alright, it's 1968, there are no stick figure window clings or minivans, but you get the point.)
About last week: Tim Goodman's great recap of "The Quality of Mercy" in the Hollywood Reporter last week made a lot of the points we've been trying to make about Season 6, just a lot more eloquently. You can find a link to the review in its entirety at right. But Goodman made one great point about the direction, or lack thereof, of Season 6 that we hadn't thought of: That the seeming overemphasis of Don Draper's bad behavior in Season 6 could be a function of Matt Weiner agreeing to do three more seasons (instead of two) in the prolonged contract negotiations with AMC in 2011 rather than a planned story arc. If you think the story you have left to tell will fill 26 episodes and you end up signing on for 39, well, you get the picture. The same thing happened to "Lost," of course, but we won't revisit those painful memories.
Brand names: Smirnoff and Canadian Club continued to get major air time in Drunk Don's office. Hershey's, obviously, was the big name in the episode (and the fine PR folks there were probably thrilled about their "Mad Men" mention until…)
Quick hits: + So, where did Dick Whitman grow up in Pennsylvania? The only description we've ever gotten was that it was in "coal country." Based on the fact he drove his kids there from New York on Thanksgiving, it almost has to be in the anthracite region in the northeast part of the state so that leaves Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Hazleton and Pottsville as possibilities.
+ Well, I guess we know who wears the pants now at Sterling Cooper and Partners. It's Peggy Olsen, who we last saw slaving away on Thanksgiving Day in Don's former office and sporting pants for the first time in the series' history. You've come a long way, baby, indeed.
Historical notes: + Playing over the closing credits was Judy Collins hit 1967 version of "Both Sides Now," which was written by Joni Mitchell and eventually recorded by her in 1969.
+ "Moon River," of course, was written by Henry Mancini and recorded by Johnny Mercer and came to the forefront of American consciousness in 1961 in "Breakfast at Tiffany's," but that was likely Ray Coniff's 1968 version we heard playing toward the episode's end.
Sweet tweet: From @edsbs: "Ted Chaough left the turtleneck on because it's the shirt that's like a condom for the soul."
Lines of the night: + "You know what they say about Detroit. It's all fun and games til they shoot you in the face." – Roger Sterling
+ "Well, I wouldn't want to do anything immoral." – Sally Draper
+ "I'd tell you to go to hell, but I don't ever want to see you again." – Uncle Mack
+ "We were happy there. We could be happy there again," – Don Draper
+ "The good is not beating the bad." – Betty Francis
+ "I don't know why women do anything." – Ted Chaough
+ "I don't want a scandal. I can wait." – Peggy Olsen
+ "She loved the sea." – Pete Campbell
+ "It was the only sweet thing in my life." –Dick Whitman

The atomic balldrop is a rare phenomenon that occurs when the subject defenestrates his lover, and follows her into free-fall, catches up to her, defying gravity, and proceeds to initiate midair coitus.
So, I tried the atomic balldrop, but before I could finish, we landed in a dumpster. She definitely did not finish either.

Philip Barbour head football coach Curtis Bodkins is well aware of rumors circulating that the complaint that prompted authorities to strip the Elkins High School football team of wins this season came from his county.
Bodkins was quick to point out Thursday that the complaint came from no one on his coaching staff.
"I hated to see that happen to Elkins," Bodkins said. "It was no one on our coaching staff that filed that complaint. I feel bad for the players, coaches and the community."
Class AA, No. 14 Philip Barbour (5-4) has one game left in the regular season. The Colts will tangle with East Fairmont - which is in line to pick up a forfeit win over Elkins - tonight at George Byrer Field.
If the Colts earn a win over the Tigers because of the recent findings, they could propel upward in the standings and earn a home playoff contest.
"We have to beat East Fairmont first and then see where the rankings put us," Bodkins said. "If we do get a home playoff game, it will be the first time in school history,"
Lewis County coach Eddie Vincent, whose Minutemen will face Elkins in the final week of the regular season, also weighed in on what has transpired.
"Before the season started, we were looking at the game with Elkins as being one of the best games in the state during the last week of the season," Vincent said. "There was to be a lot of playoff implications for that game. Right now, nobody seems to know what's going to happen."
Lewis County will travel to Liberty Harrison tonight.
Other area games on tap include: Hundred at Tygarts Valley, Tucker County at Petersburg, Clear Springs (Md.) at East Hardy, Moorefield at Pendleton County and Pocahontas County at Webster.
All games are scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The company has announced a new generation of 64GB SSDs which use 8Gb, 50nm single-level-cell (SLC) flash memory chips. The drives, which will be available in 1.8" and 2.5" form-factors, also feature a new SATA II interface for faster performance.
The faster chips and SATA II interface gives the new SSDs sequential write speeds of 100MB/sec and sequential reads of 120MB/sec. These numbers completely obliterate the previous Samsung 64GB offering which is rated at 45MB/sec write and 65MB/sec read. Samsung's first-generation 32GB SSD is rated for 30MB/sec writes and 53MB/sec reads.
quote: Huh? 10-20 years ago? Maybe I've been in a coma, but last time I checked, flash memory was not even available 10 years ago, much less 20.

We came home and played outside for a bit, blew bubbles, I hooped, hubby painted the fence, we had a dance party in the kitchen while I cut veggies for kabobs-
[side note/confession: I turned on praise & worship music and Ivy slammed her head to the table, "Noooo! Juttin Beeber!" and she wailed. So I told her the praise & worship music was Justin Bieber singing. (That's one of those "helping lies" we tell that's totally allowed, right?)]
-hubby grilled up an awesome meal and we had strawberries for dessert, first. Then we went for a long walk through the neighborhood while Carter rode his bike without training wheels for the first time.
This morning I am determined to make them switch over to turkey bacon once and for all, and I had to get out the fancy silverware because we have no clean forks or spoons. I can hear Gray waking upstairs and realizing that his Aunt Lisa pants are not where he left them (I had to sneak them out of there in the night.) It's time we find him some Aunt Lisa shorts.
And I was thinking, to-day is as good an occasion as ever to use the fancy silverware.

We've owned our house for 15 years. In that time, we've landscaped the front yard once and the backyard twice. And now we're bored.
Designing and building is the fun part. We've had to search for ways to satisfy the creative impulse in the garden.
Space, in this case, is our limiting factor. I just visited Plant Delights in Raleigh, N.C., one of the largest mail-order nurseries in the United States.
Tony Avent lives on the nursery grounds and his "yard" is essentially a botanical garden. I don't have that luxury. I have to creatively utilize a small amount of space.
We typically think of landscaping in horizontal terms. We only have so many square feet to plant turf or flowers. Shaping the land into sloping mounds can turn a boring flat niche into a flowing wonderland.
Terraforming is a way of implementing vertical interest. When vertical gardening is taken to the extreme, we can create green, or living, walls.
When planting hard surfaces such as buildings, green roofs have gotten all the attention. By greening a roof, we can reduce water runoff, insulate the building and extend the life expectancy of the roof.
Green walls, however, have great potential to be creative. Look around your landscape and assess how many vertical surfaces are barren, such as fences, sheds, dog houses, railings or retaining walls.
There are many examples of green walls already in place around the Charleston area where steel grids are anchored to walls to support vines to provide textural interest and insulation.
One product installed on the Medical University of South Carolina campus is a free-standing metal matrix to support Confederate jasmine to create a living fence.
Green walls don't have to be expensive engineered feats. Pallets can be packed with soil by stapling plastic to the back and planting between the slats. Once plants are rooted, the greened pallet can be vertically oriented.
Recently, we built a green wall at Trident Technical College using milk crates. Any milk crate will do, but I used colorful 24-quart crates (www.buymilkcrates.com) for additional planting space.
The crates were lined with weed fabric and filled with potting soil. The lining was easy to puncture in order to plant petunia plugs. Once thoroughly watered, the crates were stacked on a solid base and wired together as well as to the brick wall.
We are now hand-watering the green wall of milk crates, but drip irrigation will soon be installed to thoroughly get water to the inner and lower portions. A previously blank space has now become a wall of color.
If you're not a do-it-yourselfer, there are ready-made products for easy installation. Wooly pockets (woollypocket.com/) are soft, multipocketed containers that can be hung on a wall. When hung in a series, plants hang over the pocket lips and create the illusion of a green wall. Wooly pockets are expensive but are made with quality material that will withstand the elements.
Living wall modules can be hung indoors or outdoors and appear more like a vertically framed containers of plants. Do-it-yourself kits can be purchased from websites such as Easy Green (www.eltlivingwalls.com/) that have a convenient watering system. Living pictures are easy to build and plant.
Succulent Gardens (sgplants.com) features living pictures that are quite unusual for any wall inside your house. You can purchase pre-constructed living picture frames or building your own. A box constructed with cedar 1 x 4s can be backed with a square of plywood. Attach a mesh screen on the front can be filled and with soil. Make sure to water the soil into the frame and continue refilling until it is sufficiently packed.
Succulent cuttings are rosette succulents without roots. Place cuttings in contact with soil and they will root through the mesh. The living picture can be hung on the wall and occasionally taken down to water. It can also be laid flat for the succulents to spill over the edges.
Tony Bertauski is a horticulture instructor at Trident Technical College. To give feedback, email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Holstein has a new milk production record-holder
Holstein has a new milk production record-holder
Update in 2016: New record holder.
Ever-Green-View My 1326 -ET now holds the record for most milk produced in one single lactation by a Holstein. She is bred and owned by Thomas J. Kestell of Waldo, Wis. After a 365-day lactation, 1326-ET produced 72,170 pounds of milk, with 2,787 pounds of fat and 2,142 pounds of protein. That' a lot. A whole lot.
What does that equate to? We did the math.
8,295 gallons of milk
If the average person drank three 8 oz. glasses of milk each day, she would have been able to sustain about 121 people each day for one year!
about 7,217 pounds of cheese — that's enough for 115,472 cheeseburgers (each with one ounce of cheese)
"She's always been a really good milk cow, and a very solid type cow," owner Tom Kestell says. "This record wasn't hard on her – she looks great and feels great. She just wasn't stressed out at all, just like the rest of her family." Ever-Green-View My 1326- ET, and was 4 years, 5 months when she made her record-breaking lactation. She is a Stouder Morty-ET daughter and is classified Excellent at 92 points. The farm — Ever-Green-View is owned Tom and Gin Kestell, with son Chris involved in the operation. They have 130 cows with a BAA of 109.7 percent and a Rolling Herd Average of 35,151 pounds of milk, 1,351 pounds of fat, and 1,083 pounds of protein. Congratulations on this incredible accomplishment!

The Cihanoğlu (Cihanzade) Camii in the Köprülü Mahalessi. It reminded me a bit of the Lale Paşa Mosque in Istanbul since it also sits on a raised platform. It is much smaller though and does not have the shops under it the Lale has. But it is from the Turkish Baroque period also (1756).
And it has the most wonderful şadırvan (ablations fountain), of which I took very many pictures.

What Are the Bets on the Royal Baby Name?
While Prince William and wife Kate have long said they don't know the sex of their much-awaited baby, a bookmaking firm in the U.K. has received an increase in bets on one particular name.
And that is, Charlotte.
Coral Bookmakers has slashed the odds in half on the name, reducing it from 12-1 to 6-1, and has amended the odds on the royal tot being a girl to 2-7.
As with other bookmakers, such as Ladbrokes, a girl has long been a favorite.
"But we've seen more money [recently], and that has been further supported by the gamble on Charlotte, which is now second only to Alexandra in the name betting," said Coral's spokesman David Stevens.
How stand the bookies' odds?
5-2 Alexandra
6-1 (from 12-1) Charlotte, Elizabeth, Diana
7-1 Victoria
12-1 George
16-1 Alice, Frances, Mary
20-1 Sophia
25-1 All others
And ... Girl:
2-7 (from 1-2)
Boy: 11-4 (from 6-4)

Veteran TV star Heather Locklear, 51, gets back into her suit for TNT's new legal drama, Franklin & Bash, and chatted with PEOPLE about "one last thing" ...
Last indulgence
A massage at my house. It's really nice, and you don't have to get up and get dressed and drive home.
Last home improvement
My dining room. At one time we had a pool table in there. Then it was my office. There were three of us, and we always ate in the kitchen, so I finally decided to make it a dining room. So it's not an office, it's not a pool room, it's a dining room.
Last time I was starstruck
I did The First Wives Club, which I was cut out of, so that's why you didn't see me in it. I was with my girlfriend walking on the set, and I looked up, and there was Goldie Hawn, and we were like, "Oh my God!" I was super excited.
Last obsession
There's a cake at Mastro's restaurant, the butter cake. I sometimes go and get one for me and another one for everybody else because I don't want to share. It's beautiful and I savor it.

In an unusual move likely to draw attention from orchestras across the country that are coping with financial or labor hardships, the musicians of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra voted to end their affiliation with the union that has represented them for decades.
The vote to decertify was cast by mail earlier this month and tallied Thursday by the National Labor Relations Board — after a delay caused by the recent government shutdown.
Seventy-six musicians of nearly 175 eligible to cast ballots voted 49-27 to break from the union, Local 502 of the American Federation of Musicians, according to trumpeter Michael Smith. He chairs the symphony's Negotiating Committee and witnessed the vote count in Winston-Salem, N.C.
"For the health of our organization, it's really important that the musicians have a collaborative working relationship with the board and management," Smith said as he drove back to Charleston from Winston-Salem. "Under the previous conditions it became virtually impossible to do that."
He said it was essential to "keep up the good trend," bolstering the symphony's social and economic standing, in order "to make ourselves a better asset in the Charleston community."
"It really is overwhelming the amount of support we've received from the community," Smith added. "The musicians are very appreciative."
The symphony's operations will not be affected by the change, said board chairwoman Cynthia Hartley. The season will proceed as planned, and existing rules will remain in place for now.
"I think it's a real demonstration of the trust that the musicians have in the organization," Hartley said. "I think it's also a real positive from the standpoint of their understanding that to be successful as an orchestra in the future, orchestras need more flexibility, they need to be nimble, and the fact is, unions sometimes get in the way of that."
Hartley said the decision to decertify was entirely the musicians'. Board members and staff sat on the sidelines.
"It's pretty remarkable," she said. "There is not a lot of precedent. ... My understanding is it's very unusual for orchestras to have musicians who are not part of a union."
Jay Blumenthal, director of the symphonic services division of the American Federation of Musicians, said decertification is rare. At least 95 percent of musicians in large budget orchestras are unionized, he said.
Rochelle Skolnick, legal counsel for the symphonic services division, said she did not think the decision by Charleston Symphony musicians signaled the onset of a trend.
"We view this as a real aberration," Skolmick said. "We have no reason to believe that the musicians of any other institution are considering such as step, or that anyone would be interested in doing so. This industry has developed over many years contracts that provide substantial benefits for the musicians. ... No one is interested in forgoing those protections."
She said the decertification effort was driven by relatively small group of CSO musicians — about a third of eligible voters — who chose to nullify union protections for all musicians associated with the symphony.
"We think it was very short-sighted and likely to prove damaging to the vast majority of musicians," Skolnick said.
Every few years, the Charleston Symphony organization has negotiated contracts with musicians that specify salaries, the number of full-time players, rehearsal requirements, the number of concerts to be played and many other details, all with often vocal input from local and national union representatives.
In recent years, contract negotiations have twice threatened to bring the symphony to a standstill. The last time, the organization's financial status, complicated by its existing obligations to musicians, had deteriorated so badly that the symphony ended its 2009-10 season prematurely and contemplated bankruptcy.
Eventually, the symphony trimmed its annual expenditures and musicians agreed to reduce the size of the "core" of players to 24 as part of a broader solution that would lead to a remarkable rebound.
The symphony took in about $2.6 million during fiscal year 2013 and spent nearly $2.5 million. For the third year in a row, it ended its fiscal year with a small surplus.
Musicians have said they are well represented on various committees and play an active role in the management of the organization. Morale has improved significantly, many have said. And while some players have left town for other opportunities, others who remain often are employed by the symphony on a per-service basis.
Yuriy Bekker, concertmaster and acting artistic director, said he is not opposed to the players union and would not speculate on the broader impact of the vote.
"I think that every community is different, every city is different and every organization is different," Bekker said. "This is what our musicians want. ... I'm thinking about what's right for Charleston, and this is right for Charleston. And what's important is that musicians took charge."
Players may remain union members, but the union will no longer be their bargaining agent with the symphony, he said.
"The orchestra is experiencing tremendous success and the musicians wanted to ensure that we continue that trend," he said. "Look at what happened three years ago. This was done so history doesn't repeat itself. I think in our case, given how successful the last two years were, we must continue strengthening our relationship with management to make this a collaborative success."
Smith said the vote solves one pressing problem but could raise questions that can't entirely be anticipated.
"We are in uncharted territory here," he said. "It was a big leap of faith. We really don't know where we're going to land, but we knew the situation we were in needed to change."
