Common Sense and Complexity
May 14, 2013
General Nonsense
Sequestration refers to the automatic spending cuts that the government of the United States passed into law in 2011, and which went into effect March 1
of this year. The original idea was that the impending meat cleaver approach to the budget would force a contentious Congress to reach agreement on smarter and more targeted cuts for the good of the country. Common sense might tell you that making intelligent budget cuts would be better than reductions across the board. Most people held that view.
But my common sense argues the opposite. I say dumb cuts are every bit as good as intelligent cuts, at least for cuts of the size we are discussing. I'll explain.
For starters, consider how often common sense is wrong. My most-used example is that common sense tells you that investing in individual superstar stocks would give you a better return than buying the market average. But we know from studies that buying individual stocks is a sucker's game unless you have insider or special knowledge. Common sense often steers you toward calamity.
The thing we call common sense is in reality some mixture of bias, fear, self-interest, ignorance, misjudgment, emotion, and about a dozen other psychological malfunctions. Common sense only operates well in simple situations, and the budget of the United States is far from simple.
When the sequestration was originally contemplated, the hope was that by 2012 Congress could get past partisan politics and agree on intelligent, common sense cuts. The flaw in that plan is that intelligence and common sense aren't real things when it comes to the budget. If you fired everyone in Congress today and replaced them with new folks, you would end up right back where we are. In the context of massive complexity, common sense and intelligence are nothing more than the soothing sensations our brains provide so we'll feel less frustrated and confused. Our tiny brains prefer simple statements such as:
Cut that defense budget!
Stop giving those freeloaders my money!
Yay for solar power!
I have a bit of insight about across-the-board budget cuts because I was a budget manager for a bank and then a phone company during a portion of my corporate career. My job was to present management with enough information for them to make "intelligent" budget decisions. Management would look at my information, assume it was nothing but a compilation of lies from department heads, and proclaim a 10% budget cut across all departments.
And oh how the department heads squawked about the irrational budget process. But they made the cuts, after much complaining, and life went on. As the budget guy, I got to see how many doom and gloom stories transpired because of the "dumb" cuts. Answer: none. I never saw a real business problem that could be traced back to the budget cuts. People simply adapted to the new constraints.
I would go so far as to say that sometimes the best way to improve a department function is to cut its budget. Constraints generate creativity. People will only try hard to improve if it is necessary. A fully-funded budget removes that creative energy.
Consider this highly simplified example. Let's say a government-funded medical procedure costs $1,000 per patient, but the budget cuts make it impossible to spend that much for the coming year. Once the constraints are in place, you might see more effort in searching for cheaper solutions across the globe. Before the cuts, there was no reason to even look for a cheaper solution. Now folks might do research and discover that India has a procedure that costs $100 and produces the same result. Or you might do a study that results in a better understanding of which patients will respond to the treatment, so you can skip the people who wouldn't have been helped. For the best results in the long term, you need a healthy balance of both funding
The best way to ruin a good program is to overfund it until everyone involved gets fat and lazy. One could argue that the best way to improve a program - once it has reached a massive national scale - is to cut its budget and force some creative energy into the system.
So while most of the country was worrying that the dumb budget cuts of the sequestration would lead to doom, I was thinking it was a brilliant work-around to a failed Congress. The dumb budget cuts would be no worse than intelligent cuts, and we'd gain some degree of predictability about the fiscal future. The economy loves predictability.
This is another situation in which the Adams Law of Slow-Moving Disasters comes into play. The law states that any looming disaster that the general public recognizes years in advance will be solved. For example, if today the government proclaimed that Social Security would go away in the year 2040, the country would adapt. And the solution would likely have many advantages over Social Security in the long run. For example, perhaps it would trigger a massive wave of home upgrades as people add in-law apartments to their existing homes. The economy would boom, grandma would be close to the grandkids, and you could easily feed her with the money you saved by not paying Social Security every month. When she dies, you have an extra space to rent.
Don't get too caught up in my examples. I'm just making the case that budget constraints fuel creativity. And that trade-off is sufficiently unpredictable that common sense simply can't tell you whether to cut a particular large program or not.
So how do you make budget decisions in the face of massive unpredictability? That's simple: You pick the path that is cheapest. And that is roughly what the sequestration did.

...Ummm..Scott, werent you the guy who, back in December, was going on about how bad the fiscal cliff was going to be? And how we should form an anti-incumbent party to throw out the politicians for letting it happen?
Granted the sequester is different in scale but the principle is the same.

Perhaps the best example of over-funding killing creativity is in our education system, where we have taken it as gospel that more money = more caring and better education for kids.
If we cut funding for education by 5%, nothing much would likely happen. But, if we cut it by 50% or more, guess what? We would get radical changes - i.e. the changes we need.
It is absolutely incredible that in a wired world, where every math student in America could feasibly be taught math by Steven Hawking, we are instead having them taught math by roughly 1 million different teachers, with wide varying degrees of expertise, none approaching Steven Hawking. And then, instead of having computers automatically grade the students' work and feed them additional questions based on their observed level of mastery, we have 1 million teachers grading papers manually and giving out the same set of practice exercises to every kid in the class.
It is absolute lunacy, which would go away in an instant if we slashed the budget by 50% or more. Instead, we get bleeding heart politicians telling us that just one more 5% budget increase will make everything better and finally teach Johnny how to read (or multiply).

"A fully-funded budget removes that creative energy."
Indeed, the worst part of the sequestration was the system of constraints put on departments that inhibit any creative flexibility to move funds around intra-departmentally. This was exposed in resolving the air traffic controller fiasco with no increase in funds, but by waiving the internal constraints. I suspect that something similar is at work with the Meals on Wheels cuts, etc.

I'm... how to put this... a tad skeptical.
There are other ways to improve efficiency, and encourage efforts to do so, than artificially forcing necessity - an approach which can backfire horribly if improvements turn out to not actually be possible, or if they have rather unfortunate consequences.
E.g., consider a (simplified) example of a theoretical restaurant. They're doing alright in terms of custom, but struggling to make profit. So let's say to improve that situation they decide to cut the budgets - say for staff and raw cooking materials - 10%.
Depending on how they operate, it might work in the short term. They might be able to source cheaper raw cooking materials without lowering quality, depending on what they're already doing. It might be possible to put staff on to more flexible contracts delivering savings - although that may not be so great for the individual staff, and may or may not result in losing more experience staff. But maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but let's say it does, so they repeat the exercise. There's clearly limits to what can actually be done here. Beyond those initial possible savings, the quality of the food is going to go down, and so is the quality of the staff and/or service. It seems likely that would have an impact on the restaurant's business, forcing further cuts without choice this time. The restaurant enters a death spiral, and closes.
That worked out well didn't it.
I'm not saying that would be the only possible outcome - it's a simplified scenario and clearly there are other factors. But the point is that whether cuts can work or not depends on the context, that is where you are to start off with, and what is actually possible from there. That's not to say 'common sense' is the solution. But 'common sense' and 'just cutting everything' are not the only two options. I'd perhaps suggest making decisions based on rational analysis myself.
What I would definitely not say that "in the face of massive unpredictability, the best way to make budget decisions is to pick the path that is cheapest" - I'd say that could go really very badly wrong...

While I agree that in business budget constraints can fuel creativity, and the sequester was entirely overblown, there is one important reason why those same constraints don't work for government. When a government department faces budget cuts, it is actually in the department's self-interest to cut the most visible and necessary elements of their work, rather than the dead weight. This in turn hurts the voting public, who in turn demand Congress restore the budget to the previous level. It is referred to as the "Washington Monument syndrome" (and it has its own Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Monument_Syndrome). If there was some way to force the subordinate departments to maintain the same level of service while under the budget cuts, we'd see the creativity you refer to. Unfortunately, that necessary part of the budget cut bill(s) never seems to make it in.

The other thing that's important to know about the sequestration cuts is that they were "cuts" in the Washington DC sense, which doesn't mean the affected areas of government got less money than the year before. No, it means the affected areas of government got a smaller increase of money compared to last year than they were previously promised. This is called baseline budgeting and is one of the biggest obfuscations of truth that goes on in our federal government.

So let's cut the budget to nothing and that will spur the most creativity. Seriously.

On the other hand, Scott, if I'm one of those department managers in your bank, you've incentivized me to waste money as much as possible, so that when the next round of across the board budget cuts hits, I can adapt!
Whether I'm a department head for a bank or a government agency, why should I be careful with shareholder / taxpayer money, if that's not going to be "rewarded" with less severe cuts? In both the worlds, we all see the stories about how "all the money has to be spent" or it will be taken out of the budget next year. Ridiculous.

So how does the Adams Law of Slow-Moving Disasters factor in apathy? The world, despite knowledge of the impending doom of climate change, is continuing to barrel directly towards it with the accelerator to the floor.
[99.999% of the world can be totally apathetic so long as a few influential engineers and scientists figure out a solution, as has always been the case. There is no chance of a political solution, but that might not matter. Some experts argue that there are simple changes to the way we farm that could reverse the problem. I think a reasonable person could be 100% sure climate change is real while also not worrying about it. -- Scott]

"When young any composition pleases which unites a little sense, some imagination, and some rhythm, in doses however small. But as we advance in life these things fall off one by one, and I suspect we are left at last with only Homer and Virgil, perhaps Homer alone." - Thomas Jefferson, Thoughts on English Prosody
Germany is a country without access to the Mediterranean Sea. The longing for the cradle of the Ancient World grew out of German Classicism and Romanticism, which would have been very poor without Homer's epics.
Birthday gift from my Sis-in-law!

What better way to understand 12th century Troy than Homer's epic poem the Iliad. Homer's epic poems are some of the oldest surviving works of Western Literature. They are extremely important to learning about the Western civilization. I read both of these poems in my A.P. English class and I would use these in my curriculum. Students learn about violence and the effects of war. It's important to learn about these topics because we can learn from their mistakes.

Gripping listeners and readers for more than 2,700 years, The Iliad is the story of the Trojan War and the rage of Achilles. Combining the skills of a poet and scholar, Robert Fagles brings the energy of contemporary language to this enduring heroic epic. If The Iliad is the world's greatest war story, then The Odyssey is literature's greatest evocation of every man's journey through life. Here again, Fagles has performed the translator's task magnificently, giving us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. Each volume contains a superb introduction with textual and critical commentary by renowned classicist Bernard Knox.

Wigan midfielder James McArthur says the display against Norwich last weekend can be a springboard for the club's survival in the Barclays Premier League.
The Latics drew 1-1 at Carrow Road on Sunday to leave them only two points from safety in the tense relegation battle at the bottom of the table.
Wigan have now lost only once in their last five League matches and McArthur says the side must keep believing during the season run-in.
"On another day we would have scored four or five and we'll aim to keep producing those opportunities against West Brom"
- James McArthur
"We've just got to keep going, keep pushing one another in these final 10 games," McArthur told the club's official website.
"So long as we keep demanding more of one another and maintain these kinds of performances I'm sure we'll be OK come the end of the campaign."
Wigan now take on West Brom on Saturday and McArthur says the performance against Norwich shows that Wigan are still creating plenty of goalscoring opportunities.
"I thought we played really well and created a lot of good chances that could have won us the game," he added.
"I think it's a bit of luck that we need to get the winning goals; [Norwich goalkeeper] John Ruddy's had a great game on Sunday and got man-of-the-match which tells its own story.
"On another day we would have scored four or five and we'll aim to keep producing those opportunities against West Brom next.
"Overall we're disappointed not to have won the game, but it was another great performance that got some reward and one we have to take into the next match and build upon."

Madame Bovary
From Wikisource
|English-language translations of
Madame Bovary (1856)
|"Madame Bovary is Gustave Flaubert's first published novel and is considered by many critics to be a masterpiece. The story focuses on a doctor's wife, Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Though the basic plot is rather simple, even archetypal, the novel's true art lies in its details and hidden patterns. Flaubert was a notorious perfectionist and claimed always to be searching for le mot juste ('the precise word')."— Excerpted from Madame Bovary on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

True Pools of Light Earrings
SOLDItem 11289
Your heart's desire? A pair of earrings to match that fabulous pools of light necklace you always wear. This is a pair that started out life as earrings, and still is. So, look no further. These were recently found with their 1920s screw backs still intact and are originally earrings - all that has been modified is a post ear fitting for security and balance. Gorgeous and dramatic, taking on hues and tones of their surroundings as a chameleon changes color (photographing gray due to the shadow against a cream background).
The orbs measure 3/4 of an inch (1.8 cm) in diameter. Earrings measure 1-3/4 inches long (4.3 cm). A bit weighty on the ear but more than worth it. Each weighs 9.2 grams for a total weight of 18.4 grams. Circa 1920 and crafted all in silver and rock crystal. In excellent condition.

I'm cramping like I used to in high school, I'm all bloated, I've gained more weight (update on my other blog), I spilled coffee all over my laptop this morning (thankfully I saved it from frying) and I think I killed my computer mouse. I can click and stuff....but the roller ball is not responding to me. I need my roller ball....it's my friend :( Looks like I might have to go buy a new one. Ugh.
Yesterday was a crap day.....I was in a ridiculous amount of pain, we were crazy busy at work, I didn't get a lunch and then I found out that I'm only scheduled 24 freakin hours next week. What the hell is that??? I haven't worked that little since I first started there. I'm gonna go talk to the manager today and see if there's any way I can get more hours. It's no bueno people, no bueno.
I hope you all have a better Friday than mine has started out to be.

If boos, turned backs, and empty seats were to be the measure of America's Dixie Chicks admonishment, then the U.S.' most polarizing trio can still safely call their jaunt the Top of the World Tour one week in. And lovers of democracy can revel in the dissent and debate stirring up fanseven inside the arenas.
May 1, Greenville, S.C. Pro-and anti-Chick forces muster roughly 30 demonstrators each -- no match for the 70 media folks lined up to interview them. Inside, Natalie Maines offers haters 15 seconds to get their boos out. None are audible over the cheers.
May 3, Orlando Finally, a skirmish: K92, a country station that boycotted the Chicks, audaciously shows up to hand out promotional fliers, some of which end up back on their vans' windshields bearing messages like ''Screw you, anti-Chick radio!''
May 4, Fort Lauderdale No protesters tonight...but some fans make their feelings, pro-Bush and pro-Chick, known on T-shirts.

OP-ED: Cutting EU Aid Should be Resisted, But Begging Bowl Not Enough

Sir Ronald Sanders
Except for
, all the Caribbean countries that are members of the 79-member African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group are in danger of losing the level of aid they receive from the European Union (EU) under a differentiated approach being considered by the European Commission. The differentiated approach would make the status of Caribbean states as Middle Income Countries the basis for reducing aid to them.
This is a very serious matter. It is one that should command the urgent attention of all Caribbean governments, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat and the Caribbean Development Bank.
It is not overstating the case to say that EU assistance to the Caribbean for its productive sector and infrastructure is an essential component of government revenues, allowing them to spend on social welfare programmes. If EU assistance is reduced, Caribbean countries can expect to see an expansion of poverty and a reduction of social welfare programmes, with an attendant increase in unemployment and violent crime.
The one thing that the Caribbean countries have to resist this graduation is the Cotonou Agreement a Treaty between the EU and the ACP that was negotiated in 2000. Under the Cotonou Agreement, the terms of development assistance to ACP countries should not be altered unless there is an amendment to the Treaty when it comes up for review in 2015.
I say should not be altered instead of cannot be altered, because the EU walked away unilaterally from a Sugar Protocol that ACP countries thought was unbreakable.Effectively, the preferential market for ACP sugar in the EU eroded overnight, creating havoc in the sugar industry and leading to unemployment and loss of revenues. It has to be hoped that a similar approach will not be taken by an EU unilateral imposition of its differentiated approach.
It is now up to Caribbean governments and their Embassies accredited to the EU to do the hard work necessary to ensure that the terms of the Cotonou Agreement are not altered in 2015 to allow for them to be graduated from the levels of aid they now receive.
The status of most Caribbean countries as Middle Income Countries is the criterion that has been used by institutions such as the World Bank for graduating them from eligibility for concessionary loans. It is also the criterion used in the World Trade Organization (WTO) to deny them special and differential treatment for trade. Thus, under existing WTO regimes, Caribbean countries are treated in the same way as, for instance, the US, Canada, Japan, India and Brazil. In this connection, the EU could try to apply its new differentiated approach in arrangements for Middle Income ACP countries.
If the terms of the Cotonou Agreement are altered in 2015, then the Caribbean countries will fall under the Differentiated Development Co-Operation Instrument that the European Commission wishes to introduce for more than 60 countries. The only ones that will be spared will be Less Developed Countries the poorest of the poor, and in that regard only
in the Caribbean will qualify.
There are Middle Income countries in Africa and the Pacific that would be as adversely affected as the Caribbean by the attempt to reduce aid to Middle Income States.These states should be the Caribbeans natural allies and work should begin urgently to join them to the cause of laying out the case to the EU about why per capita income should not be the only criterion by which decisions on the level of aid should be made.
But in 2006, ACP solidarity was shattered when the 79 member states were divided into several distinct groups to negotiate separate Economic Partnership Agreements with the EU. In this connection, it will be difficult to pull the entire ACP Group together again to resist amendments to the Cotonou Agreement in 2105. Yet, this is work that must start immediately.
The reuniting of the ACP and the rejuvenation and re-invigoration of its purposes are essential to the process of standing-up collectively for its member states. The Caribbean should waste no time in organizing a process of weaving the strands of the ACP into the collective whole they were in the effective negotiations for the beneficial Cotonou Agreement and the Lome Convention that preceded it. It is these two Treaties with the EU that set the framework and terms for the non-reciprocal trade, aid and investment benefits that have helped to lift ACP countries over the last 30 years.
Worryingly, officials in the European Commission are now calculating allocations to ACP countries for the 11th European Development Fund for the period 2014-2020. If they conduct the calculations and allocations on the basis of graduating Middle Income Countries, then the battle to resist amendments to the Cotonou Agreement in 2015 will be lost even before it begins.
This is why the ACP countries should lose no time in organizing a united front to resist the European Commissions proposal. Solid technical reasoning is as necessary to the process as are vibrant diplomatic arguments and high-level government contacts between the ACP and the EU. The technical work should be carried out by a single Caribbean unit utilizing the best skills available to the region, and it should set out measurable outcomes for the funds that are being requested. For if ACP Middle-Income countries are to justify why aid should not be reduced now, they must be prepared to show how it will be used effectively to transition to diversifying their economies, enhancing their productive sector, and standing on their own feet. A begging bowl is not enough.
The work must start now to make the ACP cohesive again. The Caribbean, which has much to lose, should be in the forefront of that effort.

Cobalt Digital CCW Plans Include Loudness Processing & Monitoring Over IP Demonstrations & MADI Card-Based Solutions
Urbana, IL â With the deadline for CALM compliance looming, Cobalt Digital (www.CobaltDigital.com) has announced plans to highlight its award-winning easy-to-implement, baseband and IP/ASI solutions for loudness management, measurement and record systems at CCW 2012 to be held in New York on November 14-15. The manufacturer of 3G/HD/SD-SDI conversion gear will demonstrate winning LMNTSâ¢, an exciting breakthrough in comprehensive multi-channel, transport-based loudness processing, and SpotCheckâ¢, an innovative transport stream compliance monitor. Also on display will be Cobaltâs new MADI card-based series of baseband audio routing solutions for mobile environments, production companies, or any application involving multi-vehicle audio signal transport.
SpotCheck – Audio Loudness Measurement and Recorded Data Logging SystemCobaltâs SpotCheck®, a transport stream compliance monitor that takes the guesswork out of loudness measurement and logging, provides a easy-to-implement path to CALM compliance and maintenance. SpotCheck monitors an IP, ASI, or a transmitted over-the-air MPEG stream at the transmit (emission) encode point, and provides easy-to-use, convenient, long-term access to loudness records for all programming initiated from a broadcasting facility.
Segments can be searched via the intuitive display of loudness plots along with date/time-stamped thumbnails of the actual corresponding programming, or can optionally be queried and correlated using a database relationship with the facility as-run automation list. SpotCheck readily pinpoints all segments that are outside of CALM compliance providing documentary proof should an erroneous complaint appear. Ethernet control enables integration with facility IT providing long-term logging/thumbnail storage.
Requiring no breakout from the MPEG stream and not affecting the emission stream in any way, SpotCheck provides an easily integrated, facility-based, powerful solution for loudness records and compliance interrogation and verification.
LMNTS (Loudness Management for n-Transport Streams)Winner of both TV Technologyâs STAR and Broadcast Engineeringâs Pick Hit awards at NAB 2012, LMNTS ⢠(Loudness Management for n-Transport Streams) represents a quantum leap in multi-stream loudness processing by offering an economic, consistent solution thatâs easy to integrate.
LMNTS uses LINEAR ACOUSTIC® Aeromax⢠technology and performs automatic loudness processing across many transport streams making it ideal for MVPDs and MSOs where a large number of diverse programming sources must be simultaneously controlled. It operates at the MPEG IP transport layer to provide a practical loudness management solution without the need or complexity of external codecs transferring between baseband and MPEG external interfaces.
Available in both IP and ASI versions, LMNTS extracts and decodes audio codec packets from the program stream, performs high-quality PCM loudness processing, and then re-encodes and re-packets the audio within its stream. Physically, all data connections to LMNTS are via GigE IP or ASI interfaces using an industry-standard IT hardware platform with no intermediary breakouts.
MADI CARDS â IDEAL FOR MULTI-VEHICLE AUDIO SIGNAL TRANSPORT
Cobalt sharpened their listening skills when customers requested a new series of MADI solutions, and responded with a card-based series targeting applications involving multi-vehicle audio transport.
9374-EMDE Quad Stream SDI â AES â MADI series
Cobaltâs new series of MADI embedder/de-embedder processing cards opens up new possibilities in multi-channel/multi-source baseband audio routing (192 x 192 crosspoint switch).
The 9374-EMDE Quad Stream SDI â AES â MADI series provides a full unrestricted audio crosspoint that allows channel routing between any channels on up to four SDI steams, discrete AES-3id, and AES10 MADI interfaces. It uses standard 1694A cabling thus eliminating the need for fiber. Its excellent MADI receiver performance allows up to 250m MADI receive capability with no signal degradation.
Embed and de-embed-only versions are also available, as well as dual SDI stream 9372 and single SDI stream 9371 versions.
9257 1×9 MADI Audio Distribution Amplifier
Cobalt will also show its award-winning and scalable 9257 1×9 MADI audio distribution amplifier that provides quick and easy AES10 MADI signal distribution between vehicles without the need for fiber. The 9257 supports sampling frequencies up to 96 kHz, with a 64-channel payload supported at industry standard 48 kHz sampling rate (other sampling rates specified as valid per AES10-2003 also supported at various payload capacities).

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is thanking White House aides and his re-election campaign staffers at the final celebration of his inauguration.
Obama told thousands of guests at his staff ball Tuesday night that they represent, in his words, his "deepest hopes for America." He said he knows the nation's future is in good hands.
First lady Michelle Obama, wearing a silver and black ensemble, echoed the president's campaign-year chant of "fired up, ready to go."
Pop icon Lady Gaga and singer Tony Bennett were providing the entertainment.
Proceeds will support a memorial fund for Alex Okrent, a campaign worker who collapsed and died at Obama's campaign headquarters in July.

While it still may be hot and humid in parts of the country, Illinois is slowly cooling down. It's creeping towards the end of the summer season for us.

Lucky Lime Leprechaun Party Punch Recipe for St. Patrick's Day

"Wow -- this absolutely rocks! I made this for dinner the other night, and was hoping it wouldn't be awful (I have had mixed luck with some recipes on zaar, even ones with great ratings).

Only suggestion I would make is to put dough on cookie sheet in TWO narrow rectangle shapes. I did on..."
"I'm not a fan of rolled cookie dough -- I always worry I'l mess it up somehow -- but this was great, so easy to work with. My gingerbread men tasted fabulous. I concur with baking them the lesser amount of time so they're softer and chewier. I'd also say to make the rolled dough a little on the thicker side (thicker than 1/4 inch), for the same..."
"Frankly, I was amazed that such a simple recipe got such kudos from people at the party I served it at. It's dead easy to make too. I halved the recipe, omitted the jalapeno, and didn't even have enough sausage -- and STILL people raved about this dip. I'll definitely be making this one again and again. Thanks!"
"Forgot to rate this the first time I made it and had to come looking for it again...so now I'm reviewing it! This truly is a dead-easy cake to make, and it is the MOISTEST cake I've ever had in my life. The first time I made it I used a vanilla pudding mix because that was all I had in the house at the time, but it still tasted fabulous. Can't ..."

"I'm giving this recipe 4 out of 5 because it impressed me (and I don't like half the ingredients in this thing!) but it was just so-so at the Israeli dinner party I took it to, and I was expecting kind of wow reviews from that crowd, based upon what everyone else said here. Still, it was good. I doubled the recipe and really didn't need to. Mad..."
"I tried this because of all the great reviews, and while it was good, I found it to be TOO sweet and TOO cake-like for my tastes.

Mrs Darlington's Blackcurrant Jam 1 1
Absolutely the best So happy to find this superb jam is now at World Market (though haven't checked my local store yet for availability). It is by far the best blackcurrant jam I have tasted, made with a simple recipe which includes lemon juice for freshness. The fruity blackcurrant flavour really comes through.Terrific on toast with Stilton cheese, all flashed under the broiler. May 28, 2013

Some guy sent me this, and I think it's a great transcription, so here it Mike heres free free ---- the key to playing this tune effectively is texture. this song is perfect for dropping your low e down to d, but trey doesn't do this, probably due to the continuity problems it would pose. trey is basically outlining very simple chords above mike's steady d. it's really extraordinarily simple, phish-wise, but a great tune. for guitarists out there who might not automatically notice the arpeggio's, i've put the chords they refer to in parenthesis. anyway, so when playing this, let every note ring as long as possible and, if you're used to playing with your fingers, really snap the strings when it seems appropriate. main theme: (D) (C) (G) (D) e------10--12p10-----------8--10p8------------7--------5-----------| B----------------10----------------8---8----8---8----7---7---------| G--/11--------------11--/9-----------9----7--------7---------------| D------------------------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------------------| (G) (D) e------3--5p3-----------------------------------------| B----3--------3--------3-----3------------------------| G--4------------4------2-----2------------------------| D-------------------0--------0------------------------| A-------------------0--------0------------------------| E-------------------------1---------------------------| theme 2: (F) (G) (D) e-------------------------------------| B---------6--------8-----3------------| G-------5--------7-------2------------| D-----3--------5------0---------------| A---3--------5--------0---------------| E-------------------------------------| intro ----- main theme x2 C G F D x2 theme 2 x4 main theme x2 theme 2 x4 C G F D x2 theme 2 x4 verses ------ D C G F x2 G F D x4 (holding D the last time) (this whole thing repeated twice) this goes back to half of the intro. solo ---- the only thing i can say is that mike is taking trey's role, impossing different bass notes over the D. he seems to like to start out like this: D G F# F C , slowly progressing to other, sometimes far-flung, stuff. hope it helps if you could id like any song not on the net like sleeping monkey or gumbo later matt

How To Turn Your Smartphone Into A Stun Gun [Video]
taze TEXT me Bro!!!
This is BAD ASS!!!
Companies are now designing SMARTPHONE cases that double as STUN GUNS, pepper sprays and can even hold a concealed KNIFE!
I can't tell you how many times I leave the house with only my keys and phone. Nowhere to conceal the gun so…PERFECTION!!!
The baddest boy in the bunch is the system made by Yellow Jacket. It's case has two tiny electrodes, at the top, that emit a mini stun gun light.
One touch can deliver 650,000 VOLTS! That's enough to take down a "fully grown aggressive adult male" which gives my lil ass enough time to haul it!!!
Bonus: It provides 20 additional hours to your phone BATTERY!!!
Retails for around $125.
Some other companies are offering phone cases that hold and emit PEPPER SPRAY. Spraytect and Smart Guard cases both house replaceable dispensers and retail for around $50.
Prefer a more lo-tech way to defend yourself? Several companies, like Atlanta Cutlery Corp, offer cases that conceal hunting-style BLADES for around $35.
Of course there are many CRITICS, of these products, spouting off about "not knowing how to use them" and "abuse."
Whatevs!!! I'll feel a hell of a lot safer — walking through YBOR in stilettos — with more than CANDY CRUSH on my phone to protect me!!!

|Hey guys,
I found a new golden variant of Picea pungens today driving on some back roads in The Middle of Nowhere, Wisconsin. It was in a grouping of three other Picea pungens on the grounds of what happened to look like an old farm. I pulled up the driveway to ask the owners about it. The owners said that over 20 years ago their son had received a bunch of different seedlings from school for arbor day and this was one of them. They said it stays the same color year round. (They didn't seem to appreciate the coolness of their tree and thought I was insane for doing so.)
They had no problem with me taking some cuttings. I'm having a hard time coming up with a name. I like something Horizon because of the bright yellow color, and I feel like 'Sun' something and 'Golden' something are used so often. Any ideas?
Most of the needles are completely yellow, others have yellow-dark green-yellow banding, and some of the most interior needles have a light "dusting" of yellows on green needles.

|nice find, Matt!
The property owners thought you were odd? Ha! We are an odd bunch, aren't we.
Picea pungens 'Middle of Nowhere'
That would be a cool name.
|The sun really lights up that plant! You should have kept going with the scions too!
Ember Horizon
|Looks like an interesting find. I like, 'Golden Horizon' for a name. Have fun!
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5/6 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 11, 12 at 22:30
|Sharp Cheddar being's it's from Wisconsin and pungens meaning/having 'sharp' needles.
|Nice! Picea pungens 'Sharp Cheddar' it is. (Plus that's my favorite cheese.)
|Oh my GREAT name Dax. I like 'Sharp Cheddar' also and it is one of my favorite cheeses too.
That tree sure does have a glow to it with the sun hitting it just right in your photo. Very nice find.
- Posted by monkeytreeboy15 Zone 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 2:03
|Fantastic tree!
& I love the name, Dax. Very witty.
Congratulations, Matt.
- Posted by hermi-of-iowa (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 6:51
|Nice find there Matt. Get it grafted and see how it does. The scions look better than the third and forth photos. Did you select them from a better spot on the tree or was it that the sun light brought out the color?
|Fantastic! There was just some recent talk about finding a yellow pungens and you go out and find one. Nice find! LOVE the name Sharp Cheddar - really fits the tree and location. I hope every scion takes for you.
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5/6 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 8:10
|You can now rub elbows with folks and say "get it, 'sharp'"!
|Name sounded a bit cheezy at first, ha, but it really works.
Again, nice find, nice name!
|Thanks for the comments guys, it really jumped out at me as I was driving by!
Dennis, the photos were taken at sunset so the color is more creamy in some of the pictures because they were taken in almost no ambient light. Seeing the scions now during full daylight the color is a pure yellow. When the sun hits the needles they really light up.
I have Picea pungens 'Straw' and Picea pungens 'Walnut Glen', and Picea pungens 'Lutea AA' and the color is far superior to all three, especially for this time of year.
- Posted by zsolti_hungary (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 11:02
|Hey! Really good catch! I'm wondering how does the tree look like in May... new yellow branches everywhere. Matt, you must share a spring pic of this pungens!
- Posted by firefightergardener 7/8 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 11:07
|Love it Matt, hope those grafts make their way around! :)
Excellent name too.
- Posted by henksgarden (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 12:04
|I Like this Picea pungens and a good name
|Sounds like you hit the jackpot,Matt. Not sure about 'Sharp Cheddar',though -commercially speaking... I would have gone for something like 'Wallstreet' ,' Wallet' or even 'Wad'; not to mention 'Ingot'! T.
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5/6 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 14:19
|Wasn't trying to up-stage you, Dax! The economy needs commercially-minded people,right now...
I see,you already worked-out a percentage of the takings...royalties I believe they're called LOL T.
- Posted by tsugajunkie z5 SE WI (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 14:38
|What a great find and 'Sharp Cheddar' is perfect.
|TJ the name here in the US would be well received. I like your names too, for something else though. :) Not only would Sharp Cheddar be well received but easily remembered to tell people what it is. I think it's a winner.
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 16:14
|looks sickly.. send me some scion.. and i will trial it for you ...
you wouldnt happen to be known as mac ... cuz then it could be 'mac and cheese' ... i dont know about 'matt and cheese'
|Not to be a spolier in this conversation but this is a perfect expample of a nagging question for me........
So it was a seedling their son planted and they don't know what kind of tree it was. What makes this one a NEW plant. Just because noone knows what it was as a seedling, why is it ANOTHER new yellow spruce. Why isn't it already one of the existing yellow spruces like 'Aurea'???? Has anyone tried to identify it ????
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 18:28
|Why isn't it already one of the existing yellow spruces like 'Aurea'???? Has anyone tried to identify it ????
===>>> because there is probably no way to do such .. short of DNA testing..
and who is going to pay for that???
what caught my eye.. is that it is in z4.. and there seems to be no indication of burn on it ...
also.. it seems to be a sunset pic.. and the yellow is intensified somewhat by perfect lighting ...
since it is a seedling Picea pungens it has unique genetics and may be worthy of propagating and assigning a cultivar name. A seedling cannot be the equivalent of a previously named cultivar...
there do not seem to be too many yellow P. pungens currently, so probably almost every new discovery will get propagated and get a cultivar name. However, if there were hundreds or thousands of yellow needled pungens seedlings, other selection criteria would be used to choose which to propagate. As an analogy, think red-leafed, Japanese maples. There are many red-leaved seedlings that are great trees, but don't distinguish themselves enough to warrant becoming named and propagated (though it still happens)
Nice find Matt, hope you have a big wheel of the new cheese in your front yard someday
- Posted by coniferjoy (My Page) on Mon, Feb 13, 12 at 3:13
|Matt, that's a nice find indeed!
I would go for 'Matt's Sun Catcher'...
- Posted by planta_gardener 6 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 14, 12 at 20:00
|Or since it looks so great in the sunset maybe to call it "Sunset" :)
|That color is fantastic Keith. Even looks better without the sun playing with it. Sharp Cheddar is exactly right. I hope we get to see photos after grafts are done.
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5/6 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 16, 12 at 16:16
|Matt and I were talking and we think it's going to be great to see what this tree looks like at all seasons. The push of the graft will be fun. Can't wait.
Picea pungens (Sharp Cheddar) - no flash. Just like Keith's photo. True color.
|WOW I love that! Since you are posting the photo Dax, I am assuming he sent you some scions. Thanks for posting. It's so nice to see the start of this one. Way to go Keith (and Dax).
- Posted by coniferjoy (My Page) on Thu, Feb 16, 12 at 16:55
|Good luck with producing this new beauty which is a very nice addition to the Picea pungens cultivars assortment!
|Excellent find, and great to see it's being propagated!
|Thanks for posting pics guys! I hope they all take for you. I am very much looking forward to see the new growth on these. Keep us updated.
- Posted by mmajicmann none (My Page) on Fri, Feb 17, 12 at 23:00
|hmmm...beautiful specimen, and catchy name, but new? ken?
Here is a link that might be useful: colonial gold
- Posted by bobfincham z7WA (My Page) on Sat, Feb 18, 12 at 0:30
|Nice tree. It will be interesting to see if the gold is mainly a winter color or if it is year round. I was also wondering if the owners of the tree like the name. It sure does seem to be appropriate in a number of ways.
The tree should be labeled in case someone else "discovers it" a few years from now and puts another name on it.
- Posted by coniferjoy (My Page) on Sat, Feb 18, 12 at 3:49
|mmajicmann, there is a huge difference between the 'Colonial Gold' and the 'Sjarp Cheddar'.
'Colonial Gold' is only yellow in spring and summer, in autumn and winter it will go back to grey green.
The 'Sjarp Cheddar' is yellow in winter but it is not familiar yet what colour is will have in spring and summer...
- Posted by mmajicmann none (My Page) on Sat, Feb 18, 12 at 8:50
|nice, thanks cj
The owners were on older couple who literally thought that I had just stepped off my spaceship from another planet because I was so excited about their tree. I stopped back the next day on my way out of town to thank them again and tell them the name and they really liked it. They live outside Plymouth, WI, a small town which just so happens to contain 5 cheese factories (including being next door to Sargento), so they thought it was very fitting.
I will go back in May to check out the spring color. I'll let you all know.
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5/6 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 19, 12 at 20:08
|The first of my 'Sharp Cheddar' grafts to push. Does not seem particularly yellow and the older needles have greened up as well
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5/6 (My Page) on Thu, Apr 19, 12 at 21:17
|It's a beautiful color. Mine aren't pushing but, they all grafted.
It's a great pungens Matt.
And thanks for the photo Keith.
- Posted by coniferjoy (My Page) on Fri, Apr 20, 12 at 2:08
|Keith, don't worry about it's colour.
Grafted under plastic folie or glas will never give it's true colour during the first year.
Next year you'll enjoy it's yellow colour again...
|Nice to see the graft push and sure Dax's will also. Based on joy's comment you probably will have to wait until next year to see the yellow and considering the translucent pale green color I bet it will be yellow in the sun. I keep scrolling back up to look at that color which is a fantastic green too but I can see yellow bits throughout it. :)
|Very cool! Thanks for posting, Keith. When my semester ends in May I will go back to the original tree to take photos of its spring flush.
|I was able to get some pictures of the original tree yesterday. New growth is a powder teal color while the old growth is still bright yellow. It looks similar to P. pungens 'Wisconsin Cream' but I would say 'Sharp Cheddar' is more yellow than cream and holds it's color better during through the winter.
- Posted by maple_grove 6 (My Page) on Thu, May 17, 12 at 18:23
|Wow, that tree looks phenomenal.
Can you put me on the wait list for scion wood next winter :0) ?
|It's so nice to see the color now and that it held over winter. I love the color of new growth too. Congratulations again on this fantastic find and to all of you with grafts.
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5/6 (My Page) on Fri, May 18, 12 at 8:18
|It get's its' Cheddar on' in the winter, and I do like the spring flush.
|Alex, email me so I remember.
|I sure love that blue/yellow color combination. It is a very nice find.

The sublime Mr. Calibre changes his sound once again. Straying away from the often-copied roots style, this is an orchestral epic. A big string break, soulful bassline, and a Nu:Tone/High Contrast-style feel makes this a big departure in sound for Calibre. Bliss.
