Re: Pens Tidbits
Here you go, Larry. It's the first on the highlights clip. It was a work of art - enjoy!
It was one helluva game and if the Pens had stayed out of the sin bin, the Habs wouldn't have scored at all. Great effort by the guys again - here's hoping they can continue in like fashion against the Sens tomorrow. LETS GO PENS!

Re: Pens Tidbits
To keep it short and sweet.....now they are putting 60 minutes together and getting solid goaltending. If they continue to play like this I would not want to be the team to face them in the first round.
Sid with the unbelievable goal.
Malkin with the beautiful saucer pass to Omelette.
Omelette played a good game. Even if he didn't score he was hustling non-stop. Something I hardly ever notice. From the drop of the puck to the final horn.
Erik Christensen played another great game. Proving what he can do when you actually play him along side talent (Malkin).
Defense playing solid overall even though Melichar still scares the hell out of me. When Eaton returns it will only make that defensive unit that much better. That's if Eaton can stay healthy for a straight week. That is starting to concern me just a bit.
Bring on Ottawa!!

Re: Pens Tidbits
Goaltenders are a good 1-2 punch on and off the ice
Sunday, March 18, 2007
By Shelly Anderson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Marc-Andre Fleury already had his pads off and was unlacing his skates yesterday at Southpointe when Jocelyn Thibault lumbered by in full gear, fresh off the ice. Fleury extended an arm and got a knuckles-to-blocker greeting.
The two goaltenders smiled and began chatting in their native French. It's like that most days after Penguins practice.
Fleury, the young starter, and Thibault, the veteran backup, have developed a strong rapport.
"He's such a good off-ice guy. He's always there for me. He always tries to help me out," said Fleury, 22, who will start tonight against Ottawa but probably will sit out tomorrow night on the road against the New York Rangers while Thibault makes just his 16th start of the season.
A big brother. That's the way Penguins coach Michel Therrien describes Thibault's relationship with Fleury.
Thibault, 32, doesn't disagree, but he's not so altruistic that he's willing to be a quasi-coach to Fleury first -- the Penguins have assistant Gilles Meloche for that -- and a goaltender second.
"I think Marc-Andre is a great kid. I treat him almost like my brother. He's very receptive," said Thibault, whose playing time is increasing late in the season.
"Obviously, I'm here to do a job. If I don't play well, they won't keep me around just to be with Marc-Andre. I have to perform and do my thing. But if I can perform and do my thing, and I can help him out a little bit, great."
A little bit is about all that Thibault has been asked to do most of the season as the team grooms Fleury, the first overall pick in the June, 2003 draft, to be its No. 1 goaltender for years to come.
This season, his first full term in the NHL, Fleury is 34-14-8 with four shutouts, a 2.92 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. He is tied for fourth-most wins in the NHL.
Although Thibault won't take credit for it, he sees positioning -- particularly squaring up on opponents -- as Fleury's biggest improvement over the course of the season.
"We can talk about technique a lot," Fleury said.
Thibault is 6-7-2 with a 2.84 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage and is coming off of a 3-0 shutout of New Jersey Wednesday.
He came into this season mostly hoping to regain his form after hip injuries and the season-long NHL lockout wiped out most of three seasons. He's done that, and then some.
"I think I've improved as the year's gone along. I feel much better now," Thibault said. "I kind of feel lucky to be a part of this team. We have a special chemistry. It's very refreshing for an old guy like me to be with those kids every day. We're really having fun and working hard.
"The last couple of years have been kind of hard, tough mentally, for me. This year, I'm really enjoying my year."
Even if that means playing sparingly at times and adding the role of mentor for Fleury.
Fleury was nearly Martin Brodeur-like much of this season. He started the team's first 11 games -- with Thibault playing in just 29 minutes, 37 seconds in one relief appearance during that time.
Through Feb. 16, Fleury had 47 decisions in the Penguins' 56 games. Thibault had appeared in 12 games.
It has been a little different the past month. With 17 games in March and the team pushing for a favorable playoff position, Thibault's value and ice time have increased. Tomorrow night would mark his seventh start in 14 games. That's fine with Fleury, who likes to play a lot but understands the demands of a stretch like the Penguins are in now.
"That's a lot of games, five games in seven nights," Fleury said. "I think it's better to have Jocelyn in net in one or two of those games. Then I can have some rest and come back fresh the next game."
There's every reason to believe Thibault will get into a few more games approaching the playoffs. After this five-in-seven stretch, the Penguins have two open dates, then play their final nine games over 17 days.
"It's nice for the team to be playing every second day," Thibault said. "We're starting to get into the playoff mode, myself included."

Penguins Notebook: Penguins are happy at home
Sunday, March 18, 2007
By Shelly Anderson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Penguins' record at home -- 22-9-5 for 49 points -- puts them in a five-way tie for seventh-best in the NHL going into last night's games.
Look at what they've done at Mellon Arena since the beginning of January, and it gets more impressive.
Going into their game tonight against visiting Ottawa, the Penguins are on a 13-2-1 stretch at home. Five of their last 11 games are at home.
"The last two months and a half, we're pretty solid," coach Michel Therrien said after practice yesterday at Southpointe. "Early in the season, we were kind of fair. Then we really picked it up. It's important if you want to make the playoffs, to play well at home.
"This is something we did talk about, our home record."
Another big game
The game tonight against the Senators could help determine home-ice advantage in the playoffs, which goes to top four teams in the conference. Ottawa went into its game against Philadelphia last night one point behind the fourth-place Penguins in the Eastern Conference.
Last week, playing the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, the Penguins came away with wins against Buffalo and New Jersey. Therrien expects his team to compete just as hard against Ottawa.
"We always seem to raise our game when the challenge is there," he said. "We proved it against Buffalo. We proved it against Jersey."
Shooting for 100
With 11 games and a potential of 22 points left in the regular season, the Penguins have a shot at 100 points just one year after they finished second-to-last overall in the NHL with 58 points.
The Penguins hit 90 points Friday with their 6-3 win against Montreal.
No language barrier
When the Penguins play Montreal or Ottawa, Penguins leading scorer Sidney Crosby pulls some double-shifting off the ice. He does interviews in English and French.
"I think I do all right," said Crosby, a native of English-speaking Nova Scotia who learned French as a second language when he moved to Rimouski, Quebec, to play junior hockey.
"It's just something that I picked up and am able to do, but I'm not really bilingual to a great point."
From the sounds of it Friday when Montreal and its French journalists were in town, Crosby keeps his answers pretty simple. He said he hopes if he makes a faux pas and something goes wrong in translation, people will understand.
"I don't really think about that a whole lot," he said.
Slap shots
Winger Gary Roberts was given the day off from practice, although he worked out off the ice. ... Defenseman Eric Cairns, who has been on injured reserve since Nov. 22 because of post-concussion symptoms, has resumed skating but has not been cleared to join the team at practice.

Re: Pens Tidbits
Dave Molinari on the Penguins: A weekly look inside the team, the issues, the questions
Sunday, March 18, 2007
Climbing this hill will prove to be well worth the view (for everyone)
Even those who think Peter Tchaikovsky is a shooting guard from Kiev can appreciate the value of having a world-class symphony in this city.
Just as folks whose only experience with air travel came when they rode off a bike ramp as kids should be able to understand why it's important to have a modern airport.
It's all about maintaining, and ideally improving, the overall quality of life in the region, and retaining the assets that make that possible. Do that often enough and perhaps the population drain that's gone on for more than three decades can be slowed, if not stopped.
That's why last week's agreement that will keep the Penguins here for at least three more decades wasn't good news only for hockey fans. Or even people who are partial to truck pulls, hip-hop concerts or skating shows, for that matter.
The multi-purpose facility that will open near Mellon Arena in a few years won't just be Western Pennsylvania's premier entertainment venue; it will serve as high-profile proof that members of the private sector and elected officials can find creative solutions to complex problems, and forge deals that work to the benefit of all concerned.
That's a critical message to convey to the young people who will be the future of this area and who, coincidentally, make up a growing portion of the Penguins' fan base. Having a pro hockey team isn't as important as having a quality job, but it is a significant part of the puzzle for a lot of twenty- and thirty-somethings who might be looking to put down roots.
The Penguins, like the arena in which they will play, are an asset for a region that has lost far too many of them in recent years. The steel industry all but vanished, numerous corporate headquarters relocated and even USAirways, the company for which the aforementioned airport was built, downgraded Pittsburgh from a hub to a "focus city."
(The literal translation of "focus city," by the way, is, "Fly non-stop to anywhere you want, as long as it's Philadelphia.")
That's why the arena deal is a victory for everyone in the city and region, whether they realize it, or not. It doesn't matter if they've been to a hockey game, or ever plan to go to one.
Or even if their interest in sports is confined to wondering whether Tchaikovsky can still make a 3-point jumper.
As Eaton goes, so goes Gonchar
There's still no firm word on when Mark Eaton will be back in the Penguins' lineup.
He has been skating for a while, so it's obvious that his sprained knee is improving, but he hasn't set a target date for being back in uniform.
That's no big deal; it's far more important that Eaton recover completely and get a few games in to regain his edge before the playoffs than it is for him to rush back and risk reinjuring his knee.
Eaton's value probably isn't as great as the Penguins' 19-6-1 record in the 26 complete games in which he has appeared might suggest -- if it is, he's a candidate to receive the highest salary allowed by the league's labor agreement in his next contract -- but the success they've had with him in the lineup isn't entirely coincidental, either.
And it's not a fluke or quirk that Sergei Gonchar has played most of his best hockey this season when he has had Eaton for a partner, which is why it's imperative that they be reunited for the playoffs.
That pairing was broken up during the Penguins' 5-1 loss in Tampa Feb. 25, a reasonable reaction to a pretty miserable showing by both players. Then again, if that game against the Lightning had been used as the sole criterion for making major decisions about the franchise, it probably would have been disbanded the next day.
And the Tampa Bay game aside, Eaton has consistently helped to bring out the best in Gonchar, who can be among the NHL's better defensemen when he's on top of his game.
The Penguins will enter the playoffs fully expecting Eaton to give them solid defense and quality penalty killing every time he plays. Gonchar's performance, meanwhile, will be one of the key variables that will go a long way toward determining how long their run lasts.
Gonchar has the talent to be a true difference-maker. Playing him with Eaton gives him the best chance to prove it.

Re: Pens Tidbits
Smizik: Like former owner, Penguins can finally move on
Sunday, March 18, 2007
By Bob Smizik, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The final page of the Penguins' eight-year nightmare was turned last week and the team and its fans finally can look to the future with hope instead of grave concern. With agreement on construction of a new arena and the 30-year lease that comes with it, the team's prospects on and off the ice are excellent.
It was a long and despairing slog that began with bankruptcy in 1998 and proceeded through a serious shortage of funding, a season-long work stoppage, four consecutive last-place finishes and horrific personnel decisions, often, but not always, forced by financial reasons.
The person most responsible for this eight-year long misadventure has understandably become, beyond doubt, the most reviled man in the history of the franchise. No player, coach, general manager or other owner stands close to Howard Baldwin in the Penguins hall of infamy. His reckless overspending propelled the team to bankruptcy court, which led to the plethora of other tribulations.
Baldwin was on the phone the other day, recalling what went wrong with the Penguins and talking about what he's doing today. He hasn't exactly gone underground. His unsound and unsafe business practices with the Penguins did not make him a pariah in other fields.
Baldwin dabbled in "B" movies in his days with the Penguins. Who can forget "Sudden Death," with Jean-Claude Van Damme, which was partly filmed at Mellon Arena and included some members of the Penguins? He's gone well beyond that. He has achieved a level of success and respect in the film industry that he never approached in hockey.
It's hard to imagine another person who can put this on their resume: owner of Stanley Cup champion; Oscar nominee.
Baldwin was one of the producers of "Ray," the story of Ray Charles, that was nominated for the best picture Oscar in 2004. If Ray had won, -- "Million Dollar Baby" did -- and it had a chance, Baldwin would have been on stage delivering the acceptance speech.
His latest projects show just how far he has come. He's involved with a movie about Jackie Robinson in which Robert Redford will play Branch Rickey; He's making "Atlas Shrugged," the Ayn Rand classic, into a movie that will star Angelina Jolie; he has Keira Knightley ("Pride & Prejudice" and "Pirates of the Caribbean") starring in "1:30 Train."
Baldwin is a major Hollywood player. He's busy with his movie projects but keeps an eye on the Penguins and was pleased the team's troubles had a happy ending. As always, he was courteous and classy.
"I'm thrilled the team is staying. The fans support always has been great."
It bothers Baldwin that his tenure is remembered with such disgust. "I am proud of what I did there," he said. "We were in an economic environment that I couldn't afford. I'm not a big money guy."
Baldwin, though, did not allow that to stop him from paying high salaries and placing the Penguins at or near the top of team payrolls in the NHL. To cover payroll he wheeled and dealed -- spinning off one revenue stream after another to cover his expenditures. Not unexpectedly, such financial maneuverings caught up with him.
At one point, Baldwin had Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr both under more than $40 million contracts, when, in truth, he could barely afford one such deal.
"In hindsight, one of the dilemmas we had was the unpredictability of whether Mario would play from year to year. We knew we couldn't afford both Mario and Jagr. But how do you, with Mario maybe not playing, not sign Jagr? We were kind of trapped and we ended up signing both."
Baldwin wasn't just a poor businessman, he was too nice a guy. He hated to displease anyone, least of all his superstars. It was a time when tough decisions had to be made and Baldwin couldn't make them.
But let's not be so quick to denigrate Baldwin. He is easily the most successful owner in Penguins history. His teams made the playoffs and had a winning season every year of his tenure -- 1991-98. The team's ownership history is so convoluted that it's hard to tell, but it's possible he is the only owner with an overall winning record.
No one, not the media, not the fans, complained when Baldwin was signing all those future Hall of Famers and All-Stars. We loved it when year after year the Penguins were a leading contender to win the Stanley Cup. The 1992-93 team, the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions which lost in a stunning upset to the New York Islanders in the playoffs, had a franchise-best 56-21-7 record and was poised to deliver a third title. Baldwin's team made it to the conference finals a third time in 1996 before losing to Florida.
It was a fun run, one in which an almost laughable franchise turned into one of the best in the NHL.
"I felt my position was misunderstood," Baldwin said. "It's long behind me. You get on with your life."
Baldwin has done just that. And, at long last, so have the Penguins.

Re: Pens Tidbits
Penguins' Christensen boosts production
By Rob Rossi
Sunday, March 18, 2007
With three goals in his past two games and five in his previous seven, second-year center Erik Christensen is seemingly catching fire at the right time for the Penguins.
Prior to this stretch, he had averaged just 2.35 shots per game. However, over the previous two games, in which he has recorded three or more shots, Christensen has posted two-goal games.
"'Get it and shoot it whenever you can!' I hear that all the time," Christensen said. "In minor hockey, you're trying to be accurate all the time. But last year, I got some great advice from Joey Mullen. He said, 'It's not always how accurate your shot is but how quick it is.' And he's right. If you just put it on net, you never know what can happen. I probably need to do that a little more."
Mullen scored 502 goals in the NHL, and such a total was reason enough for Christensen to seriously listen.
"You're going to take advice from somebody like him," Christensen said. "It's not like anybody can argue with what he accomplished."
Christensen, with one of the quicker releases in the league, credits his recent strong play to thinking less when he's on the ice.
"There's definitely times when you overthink and grip your stick too tight, and I've definitely gone through that," Christensen said. "If you're trying to accomplish too much, you won't have as much success as you can. For me, it's just doing the simple things: Get it, shoot it, and do what I can."
Behind the numbers
Only five teams in franchise history have amassed more regular-season points than the Penguins' 90 this season. Of course, not one of those teams went on to win the Stanley Cup.
Then again, in terms of regular-season success, these Penguins actually closely resemble the Cup-winning clubs.
The Penguins earned 88 points in 1990-91 and 87 in 1991-92. Both of those totals were achieved over the course of an 80-game regular season.
These Penguins will play 82 games. They have also earned 13 points not available to the Cup-winning clubs due to teams earning a point for overtime losses and shootout victories under the current league rules.
By adjusting the Penguins' point total to exclude points received from overtime losses and half the total of shootout victories, this team would be on pace to earn 89 points under the old league format.
Instead, under the current system, they are on pace to record 104 points, a total that would be the second most in franchise history, behind the 119 earned by the President's Trophy-winning Penguins of 1992-93.

Re: Pens Tidbits
Penguins battling for fourth playoff spot
By Rob Rossi
Sunday, March 18, 2007
Over their previous 21 playoff appearances, the Penguins have held home-ice advantage for 19 series. They have made successful use of it 12 times.
In other words, Mellon Arena to the Penguins has not exactly resembled the old Montreal Forum to the Canadiens. In fact, the Penguins have won just two of six decisive Game 7s played on their home ice.
Despite that lack of home dominance in the playoffs, there is no place the Penguins would rather begin the upcoming Stanley Cup playoffs -- but not necessarily because they have won 10 of their past 12 games at Mellon Arena.
"Obviously, we have played well at home," defenseman Sergei Gonchar said of the Penguins, whose 22 home victories rank third in the Eastern Conference. "But in the playoffs, every little thing is important. When you are at home, the routine is more comfortable."
For Gonchar, sleeping at home as opposed to a hotel counts a lot at this point in a long hockey season.
Also, for every Gonchar, Mark Recchi and Gary Roberts -- veterans with proven playoff pedigrees -- there are Ryan Whitney, Jordan Staal and Sidney Crosby, to name a few key components, who have never skated in a pressure-packed postseason environment.
Before the first puck drops in the playoffs, the media scrutiny will intensify. A faceless mass of reporters rarely seen by the Penguins' young core of Crosby, Staal, Whitney, Evgeni Malkin and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will turn locker room space into a prized commodity.
"It's different, that's for sure," Recchi said. "But our guys have been getting a lot of attention all year. The kind that comes with the playoffs won't faze them."
Perhaps not, but as Gonchar said, "You never know how you're going to handle the pressure until you experience it for yourself."
To that end, the Penguins have turned their focus from merely qualifying for the playoffs to at least securing home-ice for the first round -- if not longer, pending whether they can catch Atlantic Division-leading New Jersey.
A win at Mellon Arena tonight against the Ottawa Senators, who also are contending for fourth place in the conference, would make the home-ice advantage the Penguins' to lose with 10 games left.
"It would definitely help," Crosby said of the home-ice possibility. "You want to start off well in any playoff series, obviously, and being at home would help. We really feed off our crowd and play with a lot of energy at home.
"Usually when teams are on the road, they simplify things more. When we're at home, we kind of open it up. And we've had success doing that. I'm sure other teams have noticed."
The Penguins have averaged 3.39 goals-per-game at Mellon Arena. However, the statistic that truly speaks to the advantage that home-ice has provided them is goal-differential: At Mellon Arena, the Penguins' are a plus-1.28; the league average is plus-1.11.
"The way we've played at home ... it'd be a plus to start there," Recchi said. "But the bottom line is that you're probably going to have to win on the road at some point if you're going to win the series.
"If we don't get the home ice, we still feel as though we can win. But we're definitely looking at it, because it would certainly help."

Perhaps the best way to discourage implanting this chip would be to either look into offering medical-grade units (VeriChip? other brands of pet implants?) or provide links and information about alternatives.

Nice, is this a whisper style pellet rifle?
Yeah its the silent cat whisper, claims 1250 ft per sec. With PBA ammo. (Platinum ballistic alloy). I use this...
Its by far the most accurate that I've used. Fits nice and snug in the barrel compared to Daisy or Crossman ammo. I know its only a pellet rifle but for the backyard cheap fun, its satisfying to me.
38 grain copper plated .22 claims 1260 ft. Per second. For quiet, cheap (500 rounds for $6.99) fun, this is great.

2nd Place in the Feed Me Challenge in the Amazing Wildlife Group
Featured in "Wild Birds in Flight" October 2009
Featured in "Songbirds of North America" March 2012
A hungry juvenile Tree Swallow demanding to be fed by a hovering parent.
A Tree Swallow is a small slender migratory songbird with white underneath and iridescent blue-green on top. It has a small bill, long wings and a slightly forked tail.
They nest in natural or artificial cavities near water and are often found in large flocks. They also readily use nest boxes. Their diet is mainly insects, sometimes supplemented with small quantities of fruit and their habitat is primarily marshes and open fields.
This photogrpah was taken in a cherry orchard near Flathead Lake, Montana, USA

Crowdsourced wikis on the Web are the latest method for keeping federal agency and contractor organizational charts up to date with the help of users—albeit not perfectly.
Departmental and agency organizational charts are typically available on department and agency websites, and accessible through the USA.gov Web portal. They also are published on the Web by various organizations, blogs and groups.
But as a rule, the organization charts are difficult to assemble and maintain up to date. With tens of thousands of executives and frequent moves, many have incomplete information or are outdated.
The chart information can be valuable--especially to job seekers, vendors and others doing business with the government, and especially if the chart offers details such as full name, title and chain of command. Private sector companies, including Deltek Input Inc. and Carroll Publishing, assemble and sell organizational information for a price.
But now some of the organizational information is available for free on the Web. A host of crowdsourcing wiki sites have sprung up that allow users to view the charts, and in many cases to add, arrange and remove names on charts. The wikis are published on the Web with free, or almost free, access to the public. With the charts available for public display on the Web and hundreds of users contributing, the information is assumed to be the latest available.
Here are several crowdsourcing sites offering federal organizational charts:

Thanks for covering WikiOrgCharts.
There a couple of distinctions that I would draw between what we do and what the other sites that you mention.
First and foremost is quality of data. Our information comes directly from the federal government and is accurate as to employee name, agency, and position. We rely on the crowd to create linkages between individuals so as to display hierarchy.
Second, WikiOrgCharts uses standard web technologies to display its org charts. A site like org scope requires users to download and install a proprietary plugin.
Third, we believe that in order to be successful an org chart wiki needs to have an intuitive design. That's why we've looked to successful consumer genealogy sites like MyHeritage ad Geni for best practices.
Last but not least it's important to mention that some of the sites listed are defunct or barely functioning and this affects the quality of data.

Brands 'R' Us?
Jeremy Rifkin wants to rock the world of the jaded reader: He predicts that we're entering a completely new--the final--stage of capitalism. This new era Rifkin variously calls "cultural capitalism," "hypercapitalism" and the Age of Access. We've reached a "defining moment in history" that "already is challenging many of our most basic assumptions about what constitutes human society," as "a new human archetype is being born."
The reader might be excused for wondering if this year's fundamentally new era is fundamentally different from the "great historic transformation" Rifkin warned us about in his equally wrongheaded 1995 book, The End of Work. In that book we were alerted to a "momentous change taking place--change so vast in scale that we are barely able to fathom its ultimate impact," one that "could spell a death sentence for civilization as we have come to know it." Come 2000, and in his all-new apocalyptic vision, Rifkin barely mentions his central thesis of five years earlier.
That could be because Rifkin's earlier forecasts appear to have been a little off-target. Automation was supposed to make manufacturing "near-workerless" by the early decades of this century, and the service sector would follow suit soon after, thus "the end of work." Instead, the trend is in the other direction: The 65 percent of the US population now working is the highest percentage in history. To take just one example--one that any good futurist assumes is an industry on the way out--there are more auto workers in the United States today than there were in 1980. (The number of unionized auto workers is far less, but that's a different story.)
So completely has Rifkin moved on from his earlier preoccupation that the disappearance of jobs plays no role in this year's central proposition. Today the main thing we need to know (besides the fact that "the foundation of modern life is beginning to disintegrate") is that ownership is on the way out. "Owning things, lots of things, is considered outdated and out of place in the more ephemeral, fast-paced economy." Instead, the new organizing principle is "access": access to the web (of course), but also access to "the experience economy," a k a "the weightless economy." Consumers today don't want to be tied down by owning a carpet; they just want the experience of having one in their homes.
Property itself, Rifkin tells us, is outmoded; he repeatedly disparages the notion of "mine and thine," the organizing principle of a fading era. His main proof is that leasing is increasing and that some companies give their products away (cell phones, software) when you sign a service contract.
How to argue against ideas like this and the other quarter-baked assertions that make up The Age of Access? It's a mishmash of management guru-speak (Tom Peters is cited often), musings on postmodernism and assertions that various well-known constructs are over and done with. The latter include markets, class warfare and the nation-state.
Markets are being replaced by "networks," buyers and sellers transformed into suppliers and users in "win-win" relationships. The right-left dichotomy of the industrial era, with its class warfare among "the upper class, middle class, working class, and poor," is over, subsumed by the struggle between intrinsic value and utility value. The "end of the nation-state" is upon us, evidenced by the fact that the web knows no borders and by government's inability to collect taxes on purchases made on the Net. Guess those corporate types spending millions on Gore, Bush and Congress don't realize they're wasting their money! I almost expected Rifkin to announce "the paperless office," but he admits that's "not yet in sight."
Among his central arguments, Rifkin throws in occasional howlers: Small business is the backbone of capitalism. Property is a social convention for negotiating individual spheres of influence (not class spheres of influence). And "the work environment is steadily being transformed into a play environment." Evidence: Kodak has a "humor room." (Cf. The End of Work: "Millions of alienated workers...experiencing rising levels of stress in high-tech work environments.... Millions who experience their own individual deaths, daily, at the hands of profit-driven employers.")
Let's tackle Rifkin's chief and most coherent assertion: "Our long attachment to ownership is beginning to weaken." The author has the grace to note that this is not true for the vast majority of the world's population, who have neither property nor access; 65 percent of people living today, he says, have never made a phone call. While the "affluent fifth of the [world] population is leaving property behind in search of cultural experiences and personal transformation, the remaining four-fifths have meager belongings and still wish to be propertied." It's that top fifth, though, the trendsetters, who count, we're reminded repeatedly.
Rifkin is 180 degrees wrong about his target market. Far from leaving property behind, in the United States the top layer owns a larger share of property of all kinds, both consumer and money-making assets, than at any time since the Great Depression. In 1994 the wealthiest 10 percent of families owned 67 percent of all wealth, up from 62 percent in 1989. (The poorest 10 percent had no wealth at all, but their average debt had increased by half.) When it comes to business assets, the wealthiest 1 percent of households own 57 percent, six times the value in the hands of the bottom 90 percent.
The holders of capital know, as Rifkin pretends not to, that it's ownership of all those shares that makes them who they are and gives them what they want in the world. If not, why are they so busy giving each other stock options? Try telling Bill Gates, fighting tooth and nail to hold on to all of Microsoft (one of those playful corporations), that ownership is passé.
In fact, Rifkin's got it topsy-turvy--if ownership is now outmoded, then it's the majority who are way ahead of their time. The vast majority of people have always owned almost nothing: a few consumer goods and, if they're lucky, their house, jointly with the bank. Less than half of US households contain even one person who owns even one share of stock, including pension plans.
If Rifkin had stuck to informing us that franchising is on the rise, that more people are leasing certain consumer items and that businesses now lease a big chunk of their equipment, that would have been interesting. But when he tries to dress these trends up as a grand theory that property is dead, he makes a fool of himself. You would have been better off with "property is theft," Jeremy.
Rifkin makes his apocalyptic pronouncements with a straight face. As if he has learned nothing from the advertisers and experience-mongers he decries, his entire book contains not one bit of humor, not even an acknowledgment that you're reading about "the death of the author" in a non-cyberbook whose author will surely own its royalties. I did laugh out loud, though, at the phrase "the nagging question of who should control the means of production."
One more jab: Rifkin asks, "Who hasn't defended the virtues of property and markets with passionate abandon at one time or another?" Raise your hands.
It's a shame, because some of Rifkin's conclusions are right: that the commercialization of every waking moment is disgusting, that we need both biodiversity and cultural diversity, that play should not be corporatized. Luckily, you don't need to own The Age of Access to read an indictment of the corporate attempt to imprint a commercial message on everything you see, hear or own (or lease). Naomi Klein's No Logo is a far wittier, more down-to-earth look at what Rifkin calls the commodification of experience and she calls "branding."
I was chilled, reading No Logo. I have a 12-year-old who wishes she lived in a Delia's catalogue. In her downtown Detroit school, I'm told, kids get razzed if they mix their brands--you're not supposed to wear Adidas shoes with a Nike sweatshirt. But I never buy anything, my neighborhood is still almost 100 percent logo-free (well, not the gas stations) and I hadn't quite realized how much the rising generation has been subjected to "colonization not of physical space but of mental space."
Klein and Rifkin cover a lot of the same territory: corporate sponsorship of cultural events; "cool hunting" agencies paid to track down trends among black teenagers; marketing inside the schools; franchises crowding out mom-and-pops; outsourcing to sweatshops; buying an experience, not just a thing; shopping as theater; Celebration, Florida, Disney's branded town; Disney as the grandfather of it all; and Bill Gates Bill Gates Bill Gates and Nike Nike Nike. One big difference is that Klein, a 29-year-old red-diaper baby, has been there and rejected that, while over-50 Rifkin, who lectures at the Wharton School, is mostly disapproving but also gulled by management-speak about what they're up to. More important, Klein's main mission is to report on the resistance to the "brand bullies." She stresses that her book is not about predictions--unlike Rifkin's--but it reads like a prophecy of the WTO protests in Seattle.
Klein, who is a master of the razor-sharp soundbite, introduces us to the moguls of marketing, who, she says, decided in the eighties and nineties that companies should be "meaning brokers" rather than product producers. Polaroid needed to stop thinking of itself as a camera--it's really a "social lubricant." Levi's problem was that it hadn't promoted any particular lifestyle to go along with its jeans--no denim house paint. Says Starbucks' marketing VP: Coffee is the company's "opportunity for emotional leverage.... A great brand raises the bar--it adds a greater sense of purpose to the experience." The Body Shop, says founder Anita Roddick, is not about bath oil but is the conveyor of her philosophy about women and the environment. The author of a sixth-grade math book riddled her text with references to Oreos and Nike, not because she was paid to do it but because she wanted to speak to kids in their own language--brands.
Then, once the brands have turned you into a "life-sized Tommy doll"--walking billboards--once they've made themselves ubiquitous parts of the landscape and everyone's mental map, they tell you that you can't use their name in vain. They take up all the public space--those building-sized paste-on ads are only the biggest example--and then they remind you that brands are private property. The owners of Barney won't let shops rent out dinosaur costumes, if they're purple. Disney forced a group of New Zealand parents to remove their homemade version of Donald Duck from a playground mural. After making Barbie a cultural icon, Mattel sued the rock band Aqua for its hit song "Barbie Girl." Artists and activists who "jam" ads run afoul of trademark, copyright, libel and "brand disparagement" laws. Island Records and CBS Records sued artists, successfully, for sampling or remixing Casey Kasem and Michael Jackson. The message, says Klein, is that "culture is something that happens to you. You buy it at the Virgin Megastore or Toys 'R' Us.... It is not something in which you participate, or to which you have the right to respond."
Klein's chapters that describe the brand bullies and the resistance to them are the best parts of No Logo. Her information on the outsourcing of work to overseas sweatshops (though enlivened by her personal visits to Indonesia and the Philippines) and the casualization of work back home is more-oft-trod territory. Yet the latter is a necessary part of her argument. She shows how "the 'strongest' brands are the ones generating the worst jobs, whether in the export processing zones...or at the mall. The companies that advertise aggressively on MTV...are the very ones that pioneered the McJob sector and led the production exodus to cheap labor enclaves.... After pumping young people up with go-get-'em messages--the 'Just Do It' sneakers...--these companies have responded to job requests with a resounding 'Who, me?'"
Not that long ago, corporations could defuse citizen resistance with job blackmail. Yes, we poison the river, but what would you do without a paycheck? Now that the jobs are gone, no one but the stockholder has an investment in these companies' profitability. Klein believes that anticorporate activism is on the rise precisely because branding has worked so well: "Multinationals like Nike, Microsoft and Starbucks have sought to become the chief communicators of all that is good and cherished in our culture: art, sports, community, connection, equality. But the more successful this project is, the more vulnerable these companies become: When they do wrong, their crimes are not dismissed as merely the misdemeanors of another corporation trying to make a buck.... This is a connection more akin to the relationship of fan and celebrity: emotionally intense but shallow enough to turn on a dime."
So Klein documents "a largely underground system of information, protest and planning" against the brand bullies. We read about culture jamming, "the practice of parodying advertisements and hijacking billboards in order to drastically alter their messages." The idea is that people "should have the right to talk back to images they never asked to see." Joe Camel turns into Joe Chemo. Calvin Klein ads are scrawled with "Feed me." Problem is, the branders fight back, with prejammed ads like Sprite's "Image Is Nothing" campaign and Nike's "I am not a target market, I am an athlete." Nike even asked Ralph Nader to "take a light-hearted jab at us," in a script of their writing, for $25,000. (He said no.) For the angriest of the adbusters, attempts at co-optation just fuel their fires.
Youth culture meets political protest at Global Street Parties, efforts to establish noncommercial space. Sponsors tell you that concerts are "made possible by..." The "Reclaim the Streets" rave-cum-demo asserts that kids can do it themselves. Klein notes that the first was held in thirty cities on May 16, 1998, the day G-8 leaders gathered for a summit. In the United States 1995-96 was the Year of the Sweatshop, the year Kathie Lee cried on TV. As everyone knows, students have been on a tear ever since. Central American garment workers are brought to the United States to speak to their Northern age-mates on campus. For thousands and thousands of people, Nike, Disney and Wal-Mart are forever branded with the image of the sweatshop.
Klein is not starry-eyed about the possibilities of brand-based activism. She's not thrilled that we seem to need to reshape issues of injustice so that they can be brought home to us as shoppers, and she warns that campaigns should not degenerate into mere ethical shopping guides.
Like Rifkin, Klein is weakest when she overreaches. Anxious to connect her two themes, branding and sweatshops, she says that corporations began outsourcing because they needed more money for their ad campaigns. Not that simple: Profit rates began slipping in the sixties, long before branding took off, and companies are using all kinds of strategies to recover: speedups, demanding union concessions, automation, unionbusting and tax-dodging as well as full-court-press marketing and contracting out.
And since Klein's subject is youth radicalization, she barely mentions unions (except the need for them in the Third World), which potentially have more power to disrupt corporate plans than even the best spray-can wielder. Arguing the need for both parts of the coalition, Jeff Crosby, president of a General Electric local, reported on Seattle in Labor Notes:
Without the [kids'] Direct Action, which disrupted the WTO, the labor march would have received a two-minute clip on the nightly news, with something like, "A bunch of inefficient union workers from the rustbelt marched for a return of the bad old days. Fortunately the WTO delegates largely ignored these bits of road kill on the way to the new economy. Although they are hopeless Luddites, it is true that something must be done for the losers in the new world economy who are too old and hidebound to run a computer."
Then again, without the thousands of union members, it would have been easier to write off the young protesters as flakes, people who aren't worried about basic issues like having to earn a living.
Many of the readers of this magazine doubtless spent some time as young protesters themselves, in the last great wave of youth activism. We've often looked over our shoulders to see if anyone was coming behind, and for too many years they weren't. Klein helps explain where the new passion is coming from, what it grew up on, how it sees the enemy. Own her book. Ignore its brand name.

Live & Learn Environmental Education is a non-profit, non-government organisation which promotes greater understanding and action toward human and environmental sustainability through education and dialogue building.
Tropical Cyclone PAM has
devastated Vanuatu and caused unprecedented harm to already vulnerable and
exposed communities around the islands. Rural population has been affected the
most. Live & Learn was among the first to head out to the field in order to
gather first-hand information from affected communities regarding their
priority needs in the aftermath of the cyclone.
Live & Learn Vanuatu: Delivering emergency supply of water to communities in need. Households identified lack of clean water as their main concern. Most of their water tanks have been damaged or destroyed by the cyclone and wells contaminated. Many people, including women and children, are forced to walk, in the sun, for more than half an hour one way to reach freshwater. Some are so desperate they boil and drink seawater. It is easy to imagine how happy they are each day to see us. Plastic bottles, buckets, tea pots are coming from all directions. People gather around the truck and shared their stories with us. Spirits are high, and for a brief moment problems are forgotten. Therefore, while filling up buckets and bottles, our WASH officers also use this opportunity to remind people, young and old, about the importance of proper hygiene and sanitation practices during these difficult times. However, time is limited, because our water tank gets empty "too soon". Nevertheless, we always drive off smiling, knowing that we have helped many people. And that we will help many more tomorrow. That is what we do, that is why we are here.

Well, I finally received the photocopies from the Devon Record Office of the 1700 census for Ottery St Mary, Devon. They had already told me that there would be 4 pages, so I thought to myself, "Huh! I can do that easily - it'll take no time at all!" That was until I got the photocopies.
The pages are written in a beautiful antique hand that I am not allowed to post online until I get permission from the local incumbent. Some of the names are easily readable, such as 'John Mills' or 'William Taylor', but others will take a lot of studying - and, oh, I am going to have to work through the National Archives tutorials on palaeography. Oh-dear-how-sad. Can't you just see me rubbing my hands in glee? *huge grin*
From a vague guess, it looks as though the only people who are listed are heads of households and widows. No children. Not even 'John Bloggs, 1 wife, 6 children, 4 pigs, 2 cows...'. Just 'John Bloggs'. But I have already found my great great great great great great great grandfather, Walter Bastyn.
This looks exciting! And as soon as I get church permission, I will post a snatch of the handwriting on this blog.

Why is this happening
This plant was doing great growing tons of new leaves then all of a sudden about a week ago I noticed the leaves curling together. Does anybody have any ideas why?
I have it outside and it is very hot (110) So I have been watching the watering closely. It was loving the hot dry temps until about a week ago. the only thing that has changed is we've begun the monsoon season and it has been quite a bit more humid. Could the humidity have caused this? And if so is there anything I can do? FYI I have a swamp cooler so even with the humidity outside the inside is much worse.
Thrip infestations commonly cause curling of sans foliage. Look the plant over carefully for small silverish or gray feeding scars, or areas that appear to be calloused or corky looking as evidence. Also, a scarcity of particular nutrients, or nutrients available in excess can cause curling of the leaves, as can incidental exposure to herbicides (as in spray drift) or other phytotoxins. The best bet is to make sure you have the basics well covered, and you're not asking the plant to grow at the limits of what it's programmed to tolerate. IOW - learn where the sweet spot is - provide it and your troubles will disappear. It's one of the least demanding plants out there.
