Rats more likely. They don't hibernate - not in my garden anyway. I hang assorted birdfeeders to restrict access and put limited amounts down for the ground feeding birds so there is little or nothing left each night for the rats.
DK remembers those days. I didn't start watching GW till 1983 when I got my first garden. Learned loads from GH and started reading widely too and joined the RHS which is a great source of info and inspiration. I enjoyed AT's period on GW but found far less that was relevant when MD took over but still enjoyed it for the most part. Loathed the TB period. Tend to regard GW as recreational these days and don't expect to find anything to do with my garden conditions.
I am a Jack of all Trades and happily so. I can garden and run a garden group though am not an expert, I can cook and bake but am not a trained chef, I can run a dance club without being a professional dancer and I can sew and do basic DIY and furniture restoring. I'd be dreadully bored - and much the poorer - if I had to rely on someone esle to do all this but will pay for expertise when I need it.
To go back to the original post, SR is not, in my view, a lawn expert and does not know her pitch fork from her elbow. My lawn is not a sterile place as much of its green comes from clover, plantains, daisies and the occasional dandelion. After rain we have blackbirds on it hunting for worms, fieldfares looking for chafer grubs and other birds grubbing about. In dry weather I get green woodpeckers hunting ants and we also have moles which are less welcome. It's an excellent surface for romping with the dogs and for Possum and her friends when they were younger and played outside.
I don't see the need for planting bulbs in grass unless you have rolling acres with shrubs and trees and find it looks less and less attractive during the 6 weeks the grass has to be left uncut to let the foliage replenish the bulbs for next year. She didn't mention how long it takes for this long grass to recover and green up again once it's been cut as short of the rest of the lawn. I'd rather have the bulbs in the borders where their foliage can stay on till dead but be disguised by other plants as they emerge in succession.
SR should maybe stick to growing cut flowers and doing her flower arranging.
I have snowdrops out in my sheltered south facing bed since the week before Christmas but none yet in the north facing garden despite all the rain we've had and the warm temps recently. All of them have been established for years and come from a clump I found in the former potager when we moved here..
As said, dry autumn plantings rarely succeed but it helps to buy them the minute they go on display, soak them overnight in a bowl of cold water and then plant the following day. I do this with firtillaria meleagris which have a smilar drying problem and it works most of the time.
Given we have just 30 minutes, time spent on Nigel and on watching Monty parade around with his wheelbarrow in fuzzy focus is time lost. Happy to see dogs and cats and chucks in a presenter's garden but not have them feature. We get little enough practical content as it is.
I'd get rid and plant something with a longer season of interest. Cytisus bloom for a couple of weeks if you're Lucky and then look desperately dull for 50 more weeks. Try and find something with an extended period of interest such as evergreen foliage, spring bloosom, autumn berries, good autumn leaf colour, colourful winter stems..........
If you are determined to keep it, I would tip it out of its pot, check for snails and snail eggs, repot it in fresh compost and keep it outside in a sheltered spot where its root ball won't freeze. Scatter some wildlife firendly slug and snail pellets around your pots and garden to prevent any further invasions. Do that now and every week until late spring, early summer. That way you'll catch the perishers as they emerge from hibernation or hatch from eggs and before they can either chomp on your treasures or breed.
We've been having temps of 12 to 13 C so my hellebores have started a bit earlier than usual. The foetidus have been flowering for weeks and the others have just started. I have held off going out to cut off the old foliage as it was still looking healthy and I wanted it to protect the crown when the frosts do come. This morning my world was crisp, white and glistening so I'll have to wait to see if it thaws before I go and check them..
Software can only ever be a guide as there are so many variables in soil, aspect, rainfall, latitude, exposure, warmer west or colder east and no matter how much theory you may have imbibed from reading, research and watching TV gardeners, the best knowledge comes from experience and practice, practice, practice.
Have a look at this almanac -
- You'll need to adjust timings to where you are - earlier for deep south west, later for the north east.
There are many books that can help too. The RHS has a good selection in the publications sections of its website with books on fruit, veggies, organics, planning and so on. Got to your local Library and see what they have for some bedtime reading and check out local charity shops for gardening books.
I miss GH and his down to earth style on GW too and the joy of his series shown in on Ornamental Kitchen Gardens and Paradise Gardens was just amazing. I thought AT's How to be a Gardener series was inspirational and had something for everyone from beginners to experienced amateurs.
I still Watch GW when it's on but with Monty at the helm I find it very rarely makes me itch to get out in the garden and tackle jobs or start a new project or try a new plant. It's all too Monty-centric and not sufficiently tailored to Mr or Mrs average gardener and especially not for complete beginners who have to contend with limited knowledge and/or limited space/time/budgets. He just seems tohave no clue as to how most people live and garden.
I just hope someone at the Beeb will commission a decent series on how, what and when to sow, plant, harvest, maintain, design, replant, propagate, prune, compost, recycle and all the other things gardeners love to do but also have to do to make an attractive garden and keep it looking good without a bottomless purse.
Gardens never look the same year round which is why we're advised to plant a variety to give year round interest. The focus will naturally shift through the seasons starting with early spring bulbs and blossom through the exhuberance of early summer flowers, autum colour and winter evergreens and coloured stems and, if you're sheltered enough, some scented winter blooms.
I confess I fast forwarded through Dirmuid's glasshouses as my greenhouse is far too small for exotics to be given space when I need it to shelter treasures in winter. It also gets far too cold for all that tender stuff and heating is not an option.
The shrub part wasn't bad but why, oh why, do these people have to shout and harangue with unnatural emphasis on every other word? Why can't they talk to as though we're just having a conversation and exchanging information and views. I find it very tiring. Must be something the producers or directors ask for as even CB has started doing it and Monty Don's phrasing has gone all awry latterly too.
As others have said, more info on how, when and where would be good. There are all sorts of plants I can't grow because my soil is too alkaline, though deep and fertile, and others I can't grow because it's too wet or too exposed or too cold in winter. Must be the same for others maybe gardening on chalk or sand or high up and exposed or in frost pockets or mild and balmy..

Lisbon's Batida Revolution
Andy Beta travels to the capital of Portugal to explore the frenetic electronic music style known as batida, which offers the city's downtrodden African-immigrant community a sound—and societal voice—of their own.
By Andy Beta , August 29, 2014
DJ Marfox: Pitchfork // MoMA PS1 Warm Up Mix
A1 "Fish Fest"
The air of Lisbon is a beguiling mix of jasmine, sea brine, exhaust smoke, burnt transmissions and sardines. Pedro Gomes, a native who runs the Príncipe Discos imprint, tells me I'm here in time for "Santos Populares," a time in June when the streets fill with fried fish, beer cups, and pop music. He tells me that producer Pete Kember, aka Sonic Boom, rechristened this celebration Fish Fest, and the narrow sidewalks even remind me of fish scales, their flagstones worn smooth and gently undulating underfoot.
There's something both familiar and foreign about Lisbon. Maybe it's familiar because of the Ikea advertisements, or the Sofia Vergara posters, or the thump of "Drunk in Love" on the metro. But Lisbon still feels like pre-EU Europe: the public squares full of living statues, live bands, and breakdancers, the main thoroughfares not yet transitioned into chain stores. It also feels old. The place I stay at during my visit has foot-thick stone walls, a stone table, and a hearth—it's older than the United States of America herself.
It's in part because of Portugal's heritage that I find myself visiting Lisbon, to explore the strain of dance music that draws on such African rhythms as kuduro, zouk, batucada, kizomba, tarraxinha, and house, yet is often summarized in one word: batida, which roughly translates to "my beat" or "my crew's style of beats." It's crafted by the African immigrants living in housing projects well outside of Lisbon proper, far from public transportation and easy access to the city center. It's a sound that Pedro Gomes, Nelson Gomes (no relation), André Ferreira, Márcio Matos, and José Moura have begun pressing to record on their Príncipe Discos label, cautiously letting the wider world in to hear. To an outsider such as myself, beyond the African sources, batida has an aesthetic that also brings to mind reggaeton, grime, baile funk, and footwork, i.e., electronic dance music made on the cheap (usually with Fruity Loops) that is still very much for its own urban community. But batida is very much its own thing: pure, gritty, not-quite-assimilated.
"The Portuguese colonized Africa—Angola, Cape Verde, and Guinea-Bissau, mostly—for approximately 500 years, and we did horrendous things, as all colonizers do," Pedro tells me while chain smoking one morning. "After Portugal's Revolução dos Cravos [which overthrew the authoritarian Estado Novo regime in 1974], these people came to Lisbon looking for a different life. They were also escaping the Civil War in Angola, which was brutal."
Pedro is a ravenous music fan, responsible for booking many American underground music acts in Portugal, ranging from Animal Collective and Gang Gang Dance to stranger folk like R. Stevie Moore and Ariel Pink. And while fado remains his country's most recognized musical export, Pedro and Nelson knew there had to be more happening in their hometown. "We thought there had to be music that dealt with the rhythms, syncopations, harmonies, and melodies happening here and we'd just never heard it," Pedro says. "We were looking for contemporary manifestations and evolutions of Angolan and Verdean music that reacted to being from there and now living here."
They found it one night in 2007 at "one of those very charitable events where a cultural institution instigates that poor neighborhoods present their very best music," according to Pedro. One act was forgettable, while another intriguingly sounded like Martin Hannett-produced zouk, while a third featured someone singing atop what Pedro describes as "a hyper-compressed, digital, incredibly precise, refined, brutal version of a funaná beat." Nelson Gomes, in attendance with his girlfriend, realized that they had finally come into contact with this new sound and implored Pedro to come back the next night.
On the second night of the event, the young teen who had made this alien new beat was standing onstage. "We approached him afterwards, asking, 'Did you make this?'" Pedro says about his first encounter with the producer DJ Marfox. "And he said, 'Yeah.' And we said, 'OK, we gotta talk. Now.'"
A2 "Zero"
Four years after Pedro and Nelson's first contact with the new sound of the Afro-Portuguese emigrant community, the first Príncipe Discos single emerged. It was a cautious and considered merger between native Portuguese culture and African emigrants who had been all but shut out of society geographically, culturally, and politically. "We had an understanding that it was the first time that this cultural divide was being bridged," says Pedro. "Portugal media is a 100% white. There's no black representation. Zero. They don't have a voice. There's not one black politician. There's not one black journalist."
The native Portuguese enthusiasts had to convince DJ Marfox and the other young producers that were making music in their bedrooms to be played at neighborhood parties that they were for real and not out to steal this music or propagate it in a way that was beyond their control. Pedro and his colleagues realized the high stakes: "If we went about this the wrong way, we'd be basically producing cultural crime. If the music didn't keep its qualities intact, it would be colonized."

To gauge the importance of DJ Marfox on this music, consider that his DJ name—combining his first name with his favorite Nintendo game as a 13-year-old, "Star Fox"—is influential enough that most of the DJs and producers on the scene have followed suit as tribute: DJ Nigga Fox, DJ Fofuxo, DJ Lilocox. He showed many young neighborhood kids a new path out of their otherwise perilous situation in Portugal. "If you're a ghetto kid, you have three or four shots in life," Pedro says. "Either you're an incredible futbol player, you immigrate, you go work at KFC or Burger King, or you're a criminal, a drug dealer. That's it."
I ask Pedro his estimation of Marfox's importance on the future of Portuguese culture. With zero hyperbole, he replies: "They're going to build a fucking statue of this guy."
A3 "Weed"
"We believed that music is nothing but organized noise," producer Hank Shocklee told Keyboard magazine in 1990, talking about the genesis of Public Enemy. "You can take anything—street sounds, talking, whatever you want—and make it music by organizing it. We took whatever was annoying, threw it into a pot, and that's how we came out with this group."
It lasts just over three minutes, but DJ Nigga Fox's "Hwwambo" evokes that strategy. It sounds like someone making a house track with the park rather than the dancefloor in mind. There's an openness and sense of space that feels mildly psychedelic—that moment when you're high and every noise around you suddenly coheres into music. There are video game yips and adult voices talking, hand drums and claps, with plenty of space for the kids who can also be heard running around and yelling. There's a melody that sounds like a gypsy song, which runs countercurrent to the African polyrhythms yet makes a strange sort of sense.
This past January, Thom Yorke posted a playlist on Radiohead's Dead Air site that included DJ Nigga Fox's "Weed". I want to say it's a more typical-sounding batida track, but nothing Nigga Fox touches on his lone O Meu Estilo EP, with its hand-painted sleeve featuring Medusa's head, is typical.
B1 "Owl's Farm"
The next day, André Ferreira and Márcio Matos drive me 20 minutes outside of Lisbon's city limits, towards a set of towers. I try to locate us on Google Maps but only a haze of orange appears. We sit out before a mural that features Bob Marley and Tupac in congress with a spliff between them. Someone has tagged tears on the latter's face.
A compact car drives past and a 20-year-old producer under the name of DJ Puto Márcio emerges, wearing a Family Guy sweater with Brian Griffin's face on it. His crew, Tia Maria Produções, released their first EP earlier this month. It's entitled Tá Tipo Já Não Vamos Morrer, which roughly translates as We Are Not Gonna Die No More. "When I was younger I danced at parties," he tells me via translator, looking down at the ground. "In a courtyard, on the futbol field, on the street, or spaces on the floor of buildings—there was a PA and a DJ, and people would bring their own drinks and dance."
He didn't know that most of the beats propelling these parties came from Marfox, but once he "started consciously listening to Marfox," he began making his own beats. There's not much fame or money to be made as a new artist about to play his first DJ set at the Príncipe Discos night at a club called Musicbox, but for Márcio, it's a glimmer of hope in a future that otherwise has few prospects. "I'm not really sure what else I could've done or can do now," he says. "This was the best opportunity I had so far. Music leaves me more relaxed."
From there, we drive to another bairro, one whose name translates as "Owl's Farm." We wait around in the courtyard for the emergence of DJ Marfox, a stocky young man sporting a faux hawk, rosary, black jeans, and black Air Jordans. For a DJ who is serving as ambassador for this music around the world, including a gig this weekend at MoMA PS1 in New York City, Marfox still lives at home. He is also a consummate host, offering his guests slices of dense and sweet broas de mel as well as lambrusco. He goes into his room and comes out with a brick that he saved from the housing project he grew up in, one that was torn down due to urban renewal. He points to his name rendered in white paint, the first time he used "Marfox" as his tag.
Seated on his mother's couch, I ask if he perceives his music as being political. He thinks that today's rappers and producers in Portugal serve a function similar to the protest singers circa the Carnation Revolution. "It stands for the minority, it presents an attitude, a way of thinking and being," he says via translation. "I don't need to know the history of house and techno to make the music I make. I don't need to study music technically to be able to do music. But society looks down on me for being black and doing kuduro music in the suburbs."
He sees a cultural shift already happening in his adopted country. "The new Lisbon will be the periphery of the city, then they will be forced to acknowledge and represent us," he says. "The dinosaurs, the old guard, are preventing this convergence from happening. But even dinosaurs die."

Quotes & Highlights
His "sheer virtuosity of playing remains astounding." —Chicago Sun-Times
"It is astonishing that he can play the fast movements as fast as he does, even more astonishing when one hears the meticulous transparency in these rushes of detail." —New York Times
Maurizio Pollini was born into a musical family in Milan, Italy, where his father, Gino, was a leading architect and his uncle was the sculptor Fausto Melotti.
Pollini received his first piano lessons at age six and in 1960, at age 18, was awarded the first prize at the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw and appeared at La Scala, Milan, playing Chopin's First Piano Concerto. He debuted in London and Berlin in 1963 and in the United States in 1968.
Since then, Pollini has become one of the most admired and respected pianists of modern times, appearing all over the world with leading orchestras and conductors as well as at the Salzburg and Lucerne festivals, among others. He is particularly renowned for his innovative concert programs which champion works by contemporary composers and contrasts them with those of the Classical and Romantic eras.

Since the 90's, one of ethnography's values has been about the reduction in the risk of developing new products and services by providing contextual information about people's lives. This model is breaking down. Ethnography can continue to provide value in the new environment by enabling the corporation to be agile. We need to: (1) identify flux in social-technological fabric; (2) engage in the characterization of the business ecosystems to understand order; and (3) be a catalyst with rapid deep dives. Together we call it a FOC approach (flux, order, catalyst).

The constructive industry is becoming a very lucrative sector with multiple kinds of buildings coming up almost every day across Nairobi and its environs giving the city a completely new skyline. This is particularly contributed by the rising demand for housing and office space. The middle class population is increasing and they are looking for lavish kind of housing, foreign investors are thronging the Kenyan space and most of them prefer to set up their operations at high end office structures. It's equally worrying that the acreage of arable land is dwindling at a relatively alarming rate as owners of land abandon their venture to put up residential houses. The implication of this is that agriculture which is Kenya's backbone is going to be greatly affected, the food basket is going to dry up.
In areas such as Kilimani developers are flattening old bungalows to pave way for high-rise structures some of which are really splendid with breath-taking architectural designs. Upper Hill area is another interesting area. The-soaring-to-the-sky structures there are giving the central business district's outlook a run for its money. Westlands and Mombasa road are also in the list of areas where such magnificent buildings are becoming prominent. Ruaka is a classical example of areas on the outskirts of Nairobi enjoying the construction trend with malls, shopping complexes and lavish apartments jostling for space.
The growth of the construction industry has helped a lot in addressing the unemployment question. Hundreds if not thousands of people are busy spending their days in construction sites and in the evening you will see them packed like bananas in lorries being ferried home of course with something in their pockets. Temporary food kiosks have been set up near construction sites providing meals to the workers and so at the end of the day the women who operate these kiosks earn something to support their families.
Even in the face of all these interesting developments, it's also important to figure out what the future is going to look like. When all the land is completely exhausted and construction stops what next, what happens to the thousands of foremen, the casuals, and the construction companies. What happens if all the arable land available is exhausted will the country be forced to import food from outside as it does to products such as oil, machinery and so forth. These are some of the issues that need to be thoroughly thought through so that where possible a raft of measures can be put in place to pre-empt any undesirable outcomes.

Somerville To Crack Down On Rule BreakersWritten by Boston Biker on Apr 18
I sometimes hear cyclist bitch about enforcement, but its a vital component in legitimizing and normalizing cycling as a part of our transportation infrastructure. Only when we are given the same respect (and responsibilities) as other road users are we going to be treated as a real viable method of transportation. You can argue about what the rules for cyclists should be, but you can't really come up with a good argument for why cyclists shouldn't follow the rules.
Thanks Ron for the tip.
Somerville police are planning to step up enforcement of bicyclist traffic laws in city squares and at busy intersections in coming days, the city said.
"Bicyclists have a right to share the road and they should command respect from other drivers," said Chief Thomas Pasquarello in a statement. " At the same time, they need to show respect for the rights of pedestrians and vehicle drivers."
Per state law, a police officer who views a cyclist making an infraction may demand identifying information from the rider to write a citation. Fines are $20 for a civil infraction, but if cyclists provide false information or refuse to give their name, they may be arrested and fined $50.
Pasquarello said bicyclists should familiarize themselves with state and local traffic laws, which apply equally to motorists as they do to cyclists. (A guide is available through the city's ResiStat blog. )
"We're all in this together, which is why we expect full cooperation from everyone on our roads and sidewalks as we work to reduce accidents and improve safety," the chief said.
A bicyclist was killed when he was struck by a tractor-trailer truck last December in Cambridge. Another was seriously injured in a collision with a bus in Salem April 9. (via)

Web 2.0 has already caught on it's the peer-to-peer dominated social network. Currently sites are now being built as social networks that focus on that interaction, friends talking to friends. This digital revolution is being witnessed right in front of your eyes. Huge portions of advertising dollars that was being spent on television and radio are now moving their budgets over to the internet. This is where their consumers are hanging out! The big guys Cheese has been moved! I suggest you read this book http://www.whomovedmycheese.com/TRID is ahead of the curve.
I wasn't referring to Web 2.0. I was talking about Web TV 2.0, which is a whole different thing. Web TV 1.0 was the idea of using your TV as a simple web browser. This never really caught on.Web TV 2.0, as I understand it, involves essentially watching TV via the Internet. You'd use your TV as a TV (to watch movies, TV shows, etc.) but you'd get the source material over the Internet (either via download or live streaming) instead of using cable or satellite or DVDs or Blu-ray discs. This is not yet a widespread practice, so we don't know whether it will catch on.
You mean I could tell Comcast, Dish Network and the others to F***k Off???

Stanford wrote only two works for clarinet; the present Sonata, completed on 28 December 1911, and the slightly earlier Concerto. In both, his admiration for Brahms is evident, but the slow movement of the Sonata proves how potent, too, was the influence of the music of his own country (a 'Caoine', pronounced 'keen', is a type of Irish lament). Throughout the work Stanford's great technical skill is shown by the beauty and transparency of the textures, and by the cunning way in which the thematic interest is so evenly divided between the two instruments.

A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas?its more than 250 locations blanket 36 states and eight countries?Planet Beach Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
Stylists Karey and Brandy pride themselves on giving each salon visitor personalized attention. Every client is different, they say, not only in regard to hair type and style goals, but also in how much time they can spend on their hair routine in the morning. Both stylists, therefore, carefully customize their services to the lifestyles and tastes of their clients. To complete their new look, guests can opt for a Fantasy Tan airbrush tan, which graces skin with a sun-free bronze glow.
The aestheticians at iCandy Eye Salon & Academy funnel all their energy into a single task?making eyes beautiful. Permanent makeup accentuates sparse brows or lash lines, and individually applied extensions make lashes stand taller without the need for posture lessons.
Women leave Millie's Fitness transformed. That's due to its commitment to empowering women with life-changing habits and a motivating community. It offers fitness classes such as Zumba and belly dancing that focus on cardio endurance through lively dance moves. For the stubborn areas that can't be toned through dance exercise, Millie's Fitness also offers Lipo-Light treatments that use low-level light energy to rupture fat cells and reduce buildup on areas such as the hips and waist.
The team at Stunners n Smashers Spalon operates under the mantra that not everyone?s hair is the same. So they make sure to begin each appointment with a thorough consultation in order to determine the best style for each individual client. From there, the team of stylists is capable of most anything: beyond cut and color treatments (including color correction) they can manipulate texture with Pravana and Brazilian blowouts, or create length with extensions and witchcraft. They also apply faux hair in six ways, including via heat-free protein bonds, braiding, or sewing.
The colors within the interior of Designer Cuts are bold and inspiring: flame orange paired with mustard yellow and stark blacks and whites. But the decor pales in comparison to the radiant colors on the heads of those leaving the salon with a new do. The stylists offer a wide variety of services, ranging from hair-coloring services, cuts, and styling to eyelash extensions and brow sculpting.

Asus Intros 4 N-Series Model Laptops: N10, N20, N50 and N80
Asus added 4 new computers to their line up today and the feature set ranges from practical to just straight up odd. Hit the leap to get a spec breakdown, but you should know a few of the big takeaways: facial recognition login (look ma, no hands), 8 second startup (aka Express Gate) for commonly used apps, a Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) that allocates battery life preserving energy use by as much as 35%, and a built-in Air Ionizer (huh). Not all features are available on all models, and the screen sizes for the lappies range from 10 to 15-inches.

Important News on the Pension Reform Campaign
As of today the current sitting of the Alberta legislature has been prorogued. With that all items on the order paper go away as presented. This means that as of now the pension reform bills (9 and 10) are dead and will not hit the legislature in the near future. Thanks to the efforts of activists like you from across the province, we succeeded in forcing this bill back to committee for review.

The Good Guide
Ecotot: Good Guide
What once started out as a research project at UC Berkeley, the Good Guide is now a valuable parent resource as it provides ratings on various household products, with a focus on baby gear. What's so special about the Good Guide? It gives products an overall rating and then breaks it down into three different ratings: health performance, environmental performance and social performance.
If you can't decide on which diaper cream to buy, check out the Good Guide to see what gets the best ratings. If you like to get into the nitty gritty, you can investigate which organizations provide product certifications and listings, examine cancer effects, toxicity and hazardous ratings, water and energy usage during manufacturing. As the site grows, so will the products and public reviews.

Donovan, Ph.D., Instructor Class: M & W 10:30 – 11:35am Location: O'Connor 109 Instructor Office: O'Connor 311 Phone: 408/551-3000 x 6160 Office Hours: M & W 2:15-3:15 pm Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Course Description This course offers familiarity with a wide range of salient and prescient issues in social and cultural anthropology. Studying how things work at a societal level means taking a scrutinizing look at global and local processes and the ways in which they are linked. As a seminar we will study what Appadurai called the "social life of things" from the social systems that support commodities -- their productions, distribution and consumption -- to the interpretive study of garbage, that which is considered without value. We will look at anthropologists' efforts to document the Green Movement, as well as efforts to win civil rights. A significant focus of the course is on cultural survival – whether this be related to kinship and social networks, religious celebration, ritual practice, or the uses of linguistic forms. We will study the experiences of workers in the Santa Clara Valley, both in the computer industry and in the canneries, and we will look at migration in terms of the globalization of labor. In this context, we take up the gendered division of labor both within and outside the domestic sphere. In studying processes of social control, we study the experiences of different ethnic groups, which have struggled with discriminatory and sometimes exclusionary laws and policies. Here, we look at the role of anthropology in documenting belief systems, life-ways, and cultural practices in ways that are later constructively used by these groups and their advocates. Unlike many introductory courses, this course offers training in ethnographic fieldwork through participation in an inter-disciplinary research team of approximately seventy students. Required Texts: Stack, Cole, and a Reader will be made available to you. Donovan, IntroAnthroFall07Syllabus(finghDoc), Page 1 of 15 Calculus for Determining the Grade 20% In-Class Essays and their Presentation in class discussions.* 25% In Class presentations about the film or readings. 20% Field Activity Assignments Getting Out There and Making It Happen and then coming home to document it all, Community Based Learning. 10% Final Fieldwork Mixed Media Presentation by each Research Working Group due after Break, (pictures, and other documents will be incorporated) 5% Submit Two Abstracts – One abstract of approx. 430 words for 2008 American Anthropological Association Meetings November 19 - November 23 in San Francisco and A one page abstract for the 35th Annual Western Departments of Anthropology and Sociology Undergraduate Research Conference to be held at Santa Clara University on Saturday, April 5, 2008. 20% Final Paper for End of Term Five to seven pages. (Double spaced, 12 point Verdana Font) This is your opportunity to demonstrate the insights you have gained from the course readings and filmic texts, reference can be made to fieldwork, here, but only as it illustrates and supports arguments and ideas that you have developed in conjunction with the course materials. *To make for lively engagement with the course material I have borrowed a teaching technique from Dr. Mary Hegland, a senior member of our faculty in Anthropology. Our in class presentations made by individual students (and graded by the class) will be complemented by in-class essay writing. The class will break into groups of about 6 people and each group will be assigned a question relating to the material. After about 15 minutes we will stop writing; and groups will share insights among themselves. One member of the group will act as group facilitator making sure that each group member shares individual insights, and tentative conclusions. Another member of the group will play the role of reporter, taking notes on each person's contribution. At the end of this session, the reporters will present group findings to the class. This assignment will account for 20 percent of the grade, initially described as "Class Participation" and "Responses to the Readings and Films". The lowest grade that you receive during the term will be dropped. Pease note that after each in-class presentations all students will submit a grade of the fellow classmate's presentation in the provided drop box on Angel. This grade will be factored in with that provided by the instructor. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: Potential Guest Lecturer – Time and Date to be announced. Lisabeth Castro-Smythe on "Assisting Largely Undocumented Monolingual Spanish-speaking Domestic Workers in Negotiating More Favorable Terms of their Labor." Donovan, IntroAnthroFall07Syllabus(finghDoc), Page 2 of 15 Academic Honesty: There is no good reason to appropriate the work of another. We all learn from one another and it is exciting to acknowledge and cite this interconnectedness in our work. I fully expect that you will honor yourselves and one another as you conduct your academic lives as you would in your personal lives. The University wording with respect to this issue is as follows: ACADEMIC INTEGRITY The University is committed to academic excellence and integrity. Students are expected to do their own work and to cite any sources they use. A student who is guilty of a dishonest act in an examination, paper, or other work required for a course, or who assists others in such an act, may, at the discretion of the instructor, receive a grade of F for the course. In addition, a student found guilty of a dishonest act may be subject to sanctions up to and including dismissal from the University as a result of the student judicial process as described in the Community Handbook. A student who violates copyright laws, including those covering the copying of software programs, or who knowingly alters official academic records from this or any other institution is subject to similar disciplinary action. (http://www.scu.edu/bulletin/undergraduate/regulations-integrity.cfm) As a note: some consider the threshold for plagiarism to be three or more words in a row lifted/copied/stolen from the original text. Students in Need of Assistance Please feel free to contact me at anytime with issues that you are struggling with inside or outside of school that are having an impact on your work; and I will assist you in getting the help you need. Disabilities: The University policy with respect to this issue is as follows: "To request academic accommodations for a disability, students must contact Disability Resources located in The Drahmann Center in Benson, room 214, (408) 554-4111; TTY (408) 554-5445. Students must provide documentation of a disability to Disability Resources prior to receiving accommodations." http://www.cse.scu.edu/~atkinson/teaching/wi05/012/public/policies.html. Please let me know during the first couple of weeks in the quarter if you will be needing accommodations for medical, physical, psychological, or learning disabilities; related documentation must also be provided. Please Note: Some of these films and readings may surprise you or show you something you haven't seen before. In the field of anthropology, we get beyond our own cultural knowledge and often stretch our own parameters in doing so. This process brings about personal Donovan, IntroAnthroFall07Syllabus(finghDoc), Page 3 of 15 transformation as we learn to recognize that different groups of people and societies hold different values. Within different group and societies this is also wide variation. Cultures are not homogeneous, and as Louis Henry Morgan, emphasized culture is also plastic -- is ever changing and in the process of remolding, possesses the quality of plasticity is dynamic. Within societies, there are, of course, a wide range of individual and collective behaviors and practices. Some of those beliefs, norms, and behaviors may be unfamiliar and, in some cases, disturbing or unacceptable to us. In this anthropology class, we are studying multiple ways of doing things in all realms of life -- economics, politics, religion, kinship, sexuality and gender. Learning about the plurality of our world is one of our primary objectives in this class; and one of the good faith practices that we will enact here is RESPECT for these values, norms and practices whether they appeal to us or not. We will differentiate between analyzing and understanding beliefs, norms, and practices and making value judgments and expressing our opinions about them. If you do not want to be exposed to texts which may be unappealing, disturbing, and potentially reprehensible to you, you should not take this class. Please also see the Good Faith Principles distributed in class. Donovan, IntroAnthroFall07Syllabus(finghDoc), Page 4 of 15 Course Fieldwork Component Fieldwork Goal Central to this class is becoming familiar with doing fieldwork. To accomplish this goal Students of Introduction to Social and Cultural Anthropology will join the students in the Anthropological Methods course and students of Professor Lucia Varona's Advanced Conversational Spanish course to create a sixty-nine person Bilingual Research Working Group. This working group will share the goal and objective of researching and documenting the needs and experiences of the clients who utilize services at Sacred Heart Community Center. Field Site Sacred Heart Community Center http://www.shcstheheart.org/flash.html has twelve different program areas including English as a Second Language classes, after school homework support, a child care center, parenting classes and programs for legal assistance, food, and clothing. Alongside the Spanish Students the Intro. and Methods students will sign up with the Arrupe Center at the University which facilitates Partnerships for Community-Based Learning. The Associate Director for Community- Based Learning, Laurie Laird will be visiting our classes to explain the process, which includes orientation in the beginning and a reflection process at the end of the term. On Monday Sept. 24th at 6pm, Volunteer Program Manager, Todd Madigan will be giving us all a tour of Sacred Heart Community Center and so this event will function as our collective orientation and launch party of sorts. After the orientation, our team of sixty- nine will break into smaller Research Working Groups of about 5 students each, which will focus on different programs within Sacred Heart Community Center. Building the Community <---> University Bridge I have also arranged for the agency Executive Director, Poncho Guevara to visit the campus. He will be contextualizing the work of the agency within the changing socio- economic realities of the Greater San Jose Area/Santa Clara Valley. Todd Madigan will also be giving a talk, telling about a special initiative that he has developed in which a group of concerned persons has developed a collective assisting homeless youth in need through a routinized economic re-distribution plan. These talks will help us to think more broadly about the challenges of sustaining an agency and delivering services; while also giving you all a chance to ask questions of agency directors as you come to develop them in the course of the term. I am also inviting Cristina, a Sociology Student who worked at Sacred Heart all last year to present her data, from interviews she conducted with clients, staff, and through archival and government data on the neighborhood. All of these talks will better inform us and help us to develop research questions that we can ask while we are in the field. Time Commitment Fieldwork through the Arrupe Center is 2 hours per week for the last 8 weeks of the term. In addition to the two hour field contribution, I will be asking you to meet for a one hour session with your Research Working Group. This Working Group session is the Donovan, IntroAnthroFall07Syllabus(finghDoc), Page 5 of 15 weekly meeting in which Intro students, Methods students, and Spanish students, will do what is called triangulation of the data – that is you all will share accounts of your field experiences and increase your collective knowledge base. I will be meeting regularly with these Working Groups, and together as we discuss our field experiences we will begin to see patterns in what people report from the field. In a continuous dialogue with the Intro. students and informed by their observations and insights as participants at the organization, the Bilingual Interviewing Team comprised of Methods and Advanced Spanish Students, will work with the Sacred Heart clients (about 70% of whom are monolingual Spanish Speakers) to conduct interviews, mapping, and perhaps a photo voice project at Sacred Heart and in the surrounding neighborhood. Please note: On Monday and Wednesday we will be meeting in the classroom. Friday class is not meeting in the classroom. Instead, you will be expected to meet for an hour or more with your research team. These working group meetings will be taped, and a person from the group will be appointed as scribe. The responsibility of the scribe will be to take notes at the research meeting, documenting the contributions of each person in the group, as well as the insights reached collectively. Over the course of the term, these notes will prove helpful in the development of salient issues that will shape the research design. Distribution of Research Findings The last and final field assignment will be to write a paragraph (which is called an abstract) that describes your research findings. These abstracts will be submitted to the American Anthropological Association. If the association accepts the proposed paper (or poster) I will assist the student in preparing a paper to present her/his research findings at the 2008 meetings which are to be held in San Francisco (November 19 - November 23). We will also share our research findings at the Research Conference here at Santa Clara University sponsored jointly between by the Departments of Anthropology and Sociology Departments. Spanish students will be reporting on their field experiences in Spanish and are encouraged to share any written documentation of their experiences with Sacred Heart. Giving Back to the Community: Uses of the Research Product At the end of the semester when we have consolidated our data we will present copies to the agency – to Poncho Guevarra and Todd Madigan, to increase their knowledge base about the lives of their clients, and the experience of their clients at the agency. In addition to best practices, they are particularly interested to know about what is difficult or problematic for clients, so that they can figure out how to improve client services. They are also interested to know about power relations in the agency, how do different staff interact and how do staff and clients interact. They explained that they are interested in opening their center for student research, because students will see their program from another set of eyes and will have insight about the program that they who work there everyday will not have. Sacred Heart and the Arrupe Center have offered our three classes a chance to do in-depth research and to give them something meaningful that they can work with to improve their ability to support clients in need.

NASA: Sun Getting Ready For A 'Field Flip'
Originally published on Thu August 8, 2013 2:05 pm
Our nearest star is about to pull a once-in-11-years move by swapping its north and south magnetic poles.
The sun's polarity switch is a natural part of "solar max" — the period of peak activity during what averages out to be roughly an 11-year cycle. According to NASA, this year will mark the fourth time since 1976 that scientists have observed the 180-degree pole flip.
"It looks like we're no more than 3 to 4 months away from a complete field reversal," solar physicist Todd Hoeksema of Stanford University says on NASA's website. "This change will have ripple effects throughout the solar system."
The reversal marks the midway point of solar max, but it's a gradual process, says Phil Scherrer, another Stanford-based solar physicist.
"The sun's polar magnetic fields weaken, go to zero and then emerge again with the opposite polarity," he says.
While those ripple effects will go largely unnoticed on Earth, they will affect the size and shape of the undulating magnetic envelope that surrounds the solar system out to a boundary with interstellar space known as the heliopause. (The Voyager probes, launched in 1977, are hovering near that boundary now.)
Just before the switch, the magnetic field becomes very wavy, and as the Earth passes through it, it's likely to "stir up stormy space weather around our planet," NASA says.
"The sun's north pole has already changed sign, while the south pole is racing to catch up," Scherrer writes. "Soon, however, both poles will be reversed, and the second half of Solar Max will be underway."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Unintended adverse drug reactions can be fatal
Napoleon Bonaparte was not only a brilliant military strategist, but he hit the bull's-eye when he remarked, "Most men die from their medicine, rather than from their disease."
Now a report published by the Canadian Institute of Health says adverse drug reactions send too many seniors to hospital. It's because North Americans have become the most over-drugged society in history.
What an ironic situation. In the underdeveloped world, people are dying from the lack of medical care. Now, in the developed world, unintended harmful drug reactions are causing thousands of deaths and hospital admissions every year. It appears all our medical benefits come with a caveat. Too much of anything can often be worse than none at all.
The figures are frightening. According to the Centers for Disease Control, adverse drug reactions send 700,000 Americans to the hospital emergency ward every year. And if you're a senior, there's a five times greater risk of ending up in hospital from drug reaction.
One of the main reasons is polypharmacy. Older people tend to be on multiple medications, and the greater the number, the greater the risk of adverse reactions. For instance, people ages 65 and older comprise only 13 per cent of the population, but they consume 30 per cent of all prescription drugs. In this group, adverse drug reactions are disasters waiting to happen.
But what are some of the largest pitfalls? A research study showed blood thinners such as warfarin, also known as Coumadin, caused 12.6 per cent of hospital admissions for adverse drug reactions. The challenge when prescribing blood thinners is to find the proper dosage that prevents a blood clot, and not an overdose that triggers dangerous bleeding.
Increasing numbers of people are being treated by chemotherapy, which often results in a decreased number of white blood cells that normally fight infection. To counteract this complication, drugs are now available to increase the number of white blood cells. But they are powerful drugs. A friend of mine recently came close to death when given this medication. Potent drugs may produce potent side-effects.
A sad commentary on our society is narcotic painkillers, known as opioids, are high on the list of adverse drug reactions, often due to self-abuse. Another distressing trend is the increasing number of young people who develop adverse drug reactions from medication used to treat the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I believe it is a huge medical and social blunder that so many children today are placed on this medication.
Years ago, people did not require the number of sleeping pills that are used today. Some of the side-effects are incredible. For example, the insomnia drug zolpidem, also called Ambien, results in some people getting up, eating uncontrollably, walking and even driving their cars without being aware they're doing so.
Every night, TV is inundated with ads for over-the-counter or prescription drugs. But the announcer invariably adds it's important to report to a doctor if the medication causes blurred vision, bleeding, memory impairment, erectile dysfunction, nausea, digestive upsets, dry mouth, difficulty breathing or suicidal feelings. And I wonder why anyone would want to take this medication unless they were close to death. Even then, I'd prefer a glass of chardonnay!
For the elderly, it's vital they take the minimum effective dose of all drugs, as their kidneys and livers have less margin of safety. And the medication left over from one day adds to the next, causing adverse drug reactions.
Patients are prudent to put all their pills in a paper bag and take it to their doctor once a year to see if some can be eliminated. A doctor can tell what drugs can be stopped immediately and what ones should be tapered off.
But the best defence is to find out as much as you can about your medication.
Early settlers in North America, who faced enormous health challenges, would roll in their graves if they were able to see our current over-drugged society.

British General: Our Presence ŌĆśInstigatedŌĆÖ Violence In Iraq, ŌĆś90 PercentŌĆÖ Reduction After Withdrawal After Britain partially withdrew forces from southern Iraq in September, the White House slandered its ŌĆ£closest ally,ŌĆØ claiming ŌĆ£British forces have performed poorly in BasraŌĆØ and suggested ŌĆ£itŌĆÖs best that they leave.ŌĆØ The White House should take notice of what has happened in Basra as British troops have left. According to Maj. Gen. Graham Binns, commander of British forces in Basra, the presence of British troops instigated violence. Now, violence has reportedly dropped to one-tenth that of earlier levels: The presence of British forces in downtown Basra, IraqŌĆÖs second-largest city, was the single largest instigator of violence, Maj. Gen. Graham Binns told reporters Thursday on a visit to BaghdadŌĆÖs Green Zone.
