Here is the list of irises that I need to divide: White Cemetary Iris - Iris Albicans - blooms with my Standard Dwarf Irises Tall Bearded Iris MTB IB BB SDB MDB *** Vibrant and Sultan's Palace were planted next to each other. I had some die-back in these plants and it is impossible to tell which one is which now since the tags are side by side. I also have these daylilies that I need to move for trade: I'm interested in Irises and other perennials on my Wish List, and particularly Standard Dwarf Irises and Miniature Dwarf Irises that I don't have. I'm also looking for named Sempervivums State Fair and Lavender and Old Lace as well as other named Semps. And, lastly, I would like some small starts from houseplants. Thanks for looking, |

YREKA, Calif. – Despite some important races and controversial issues on the ballot, many voters are staying away from the polls in Siskiyou County.

I decided the only way I would get to a trade was to host it. It seems that whenever there is a trade I can't make it for one reason or another. I am looking forward to seeing you all. Thanks for the complement on the house. I have added three tall outdoor sculptures that I am eager to have the group see. |
Hey there Cheri- Marie and Pauline, the hostess with the most-ess!! And Hi to you Peggy!! It would be great to have you join us at this years Winter Blues Seed Swap! The Winter Blues seed swap is certainly a very fun way to "Garden" in MN in winter!! We gather our seeds, clean and pack them up into smaller "single serve" packets- and share!! And talk- and share- It is fun to talk about the gardens- how and when to plant seeds- Wintersowing- and other stuff too- and did I mention how GREAT the food is? Oh yah!! It is a great garden gathering to garden together, in MN, in winter, in true "Pot Luck" fashion! It is usually in January on a weekend after the holiday busy-ness is over- I bet Pauline will post before this month is over when it will be so we can all plan ahead to attend. Bring a friend (and their seeds too!)- make it a "Weekend Away" spend the night Saturday- and hit the MOA- or a show at the Guthrie or other theaters- or visit the St.Paul Como Conservatory or some of the great nurseries that are still growing in winter like that Orchid place in Plymouth!! There is plenty to do and see in town- come on down and say hi! Julie |

The Occupy movement put down roots all over the world at its peak, especially in the USA where finding a city center without encampments was unlikely last year. The Occupy movement has definitely lost some steam, or even disappeared all together in many places. In Denver, Colorado, a law has been passed making it illegal to camp on city sidewalks. Meanwhile in Germany, a different version of Occupy blew up in protest of Stuttgart21, the new train station and urban development project starting in Stuttgart, Germany. [Read more…]
A German Bridge Built of Legos? Street Art from Megx
Now here's how to give your city a facelift! A street artist known as Megx recently converted a grungy looking bridge in Wuppertal, Germany, into a seriously colorful illusion. Painting the bridge in large blocks of red, yellow, green and blue, he made it appear to be built out of Legos. Want to see more of this artists work? Check out megx.de. [Read more…]
The Bridge to Utopia: die Brücke's Wild Expressionism
One of the most organized expressionist groups was "die Brücke" (the bridge), which was established in 1905 in Dresden by 4 young artists – Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Max Pechstein. The groups name was most likely inspired by the work of F. Nietzche's (1844-1900) "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" (1882) in which he describes humanity as a bridge, a transition to a higher ideal. As the Brücke members themselves wrote in a letter in which they invited Emile Nolde to join: "One of the main purposes of our group is to gather all the revolutionary and restless elements, as our name suggests".

Hey Robot, Make Me A Sandwich!
Robots have come such a long way in recent years, it seems like it won't be long before they're helping out in every household. The idea of having a helper around is pretty intriguing, but we don't want then to always do the same thing, like a dishwasher or a toaster; we want something smarter, far more helpful and talented. While robots have long been doing things that humans can do by following a set of strictly defined programs, it hasn't been until recently that they began doing tasks using their own senses and choices.

Soviet Propaganda Posters of the Second World War
These incredible posters produced by the Soviet Union's Moscow based news agency, TASS, during the Second World War, show the history of the conflict from a particularly vibrant and often gruesome Soviet perspective. The large prints, reaching between 5 and 10 feet tall, were displayed in shop windows throughout the war, with nearly a poster produced for every day of Russian involvement (1941-1945). Like an artistic journal, the posters (displayed here in chronological order) are especially interesting in the way the they track the progress of the war and the attitudes of their creators as the conflict progressed.

In Afghanistan Troops Eat the Meals of Home
Since the war first began in 2001, many soldiers of the almost 50 nations in Afghanistan have survived on pre-packaged meals filled with as many calories as possible and seasoned with the unique tastes of home. Called an MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) in the United States, these hardcover book sized packages serve two functions: to nourish the hard working troops and to give them a happy reminder of home. Each country's MRE includes staple ingredients to fill the belly, along with tasty dessert items and the obligatory moist towelette. [Read more…]
Tattoo Art Meets Graphic Design
No Sailor Jerry or unicorns here, the tattoo designs of Peter Aurisch have a distinctly designer look to them; so incredibly different than the standard ink on the street. His work melds both modern and reinterpreted classic themes, often combining intricate line drawing with carefully chosen overlapping layers of bold color. See more of his work (or book an appointment!) at peteraurisch.com. [Read more…]
The Great "Beeramid" Of Berlin

Man As Industrial Palace: Classic Poster Animated
In 1926 German physician, artist and writer Fritz Kahn created this fascinating chromolithograph of the human body and it's imaginary inner workings. Conceived at a time when Germany was a world leader in the chemicals industry, Der Mensch als Industriepalast (Man as Industrial Palace) compartmentalized the body, creating rooms where workers diligently carried out the circulatory, digestive, metabolic and respiratory work of the body. In this modernist view of anatomy each input, be it air or food, was broken down into it's individual elements.
After being forgotten for many years, Henning Lenderer, a German visual communication and animation student, has recently breathed new life into the classic poster. Illustrating 6 different cycles within the "human factory," he created a captivating and highly detailed animation of the poster as it has never been seen before. Be sure to check out the video at the bottom of this post and his full presentation of the project at industriepalast.com.

This is not about quiet days or hair flowers
It took me forever to get this review written. I bought Blue Nights, Joan Didion's latest work, in November, soon after it came out. It's a small book and I figured I could read it in a day and get to work. I started it pretty quickly and read 40 pages. And then it sat on the night stand by my reading chair in my bedroom. I took the cover off, and the back photo haunted me every time I saw it—Didion's daughter, young, sitting on a chair, elbows on knees with towhead in hands, too serious. And I couldn't read it. I knew it was about mortality, and as Didion says "When we talk about mortality, we are talking about our children." I knew her daughter, so ill in the first memoir, was going to die, had died, and so I spent a lot of time not reading it. And when I went back to Blue Nights in January, I opened my reading journal to see what I'd written, to remind me.
"There's a sense of clinging about this…it's humbling and haunting and it makes me want to stop reading it and go read a book or play a game with my kids."
Oh, right. I'd stopped reading because it hurt too much. All the seconds Joan wouldn't get to spend with her child, and here I am reading about it instead of spending time with my child. That's a hard line to tread, but it occurred to me that as mothers (and fathers?), we do it all of the time, and I'm sure Didion's no exception.
Didion's fears about being a good mother are ubiquitous, and she bares them. What mother doesn't feel inadequate? "I do not know many people who think they have succeeded as parents." And if we don't feel inadequate enough, plenty of people are ready to point out what they see as our faults. Enter "The Autumn of Didion" by Caitlin Flanagan in the Atlantic (but I found it through Byliner.com, which is like Pandora for CNF and which you should totally check out) Flanagan seems to know what kind of mother Didion was, and she doesn't paint a very good picture. And that's unfair. There is every possibility that Didion and Dunne were exceptional parents to their daughter—gasp—while managing to work. Maybe they weren't. But because parents are busy and value their careers does not immediately qualify them for Worst Parent of the Year.
Critiques of Didion's mothering skills and social anxieties aren't really here nor there when we're talking about her work, though. And a lot of people would agree with Flanagan when she said that Didion's best works were Slouching Towards Bethlehem and The White Album. I've not read her fiction, but The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights both seem to rely on the fact that Didion's audience already knows her and has some baseline from which to draw in order to get up to speed tone-wise. Because I think it's Didion's tone that her fans love so much. Flanagan says Didion's the Hunter S. Thompson for women: "She was our Hunter Thompson, and Slouching Towards Bethlehem was our Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He gave the boys twisted pig-fuckers and quarts of tequila; she gave us quiet days in Malibu and flowers in our hair."
Oh, bullshit. Didion didn't give us quiet days and flowers. Didion gave us subtle malaise and powerful ennui, a palpable pessimism, and we fucking loved it. We emulated it, we studied it, we lived through those darkened sunglasses. We learned from it. And I think Didion's still teaching us. Over at The Guardian, Rachel Cusk writes:
Didion's strategy, or rather her instinct – the instinctive response to chaos – is to repeat herself. She struggles to revive the form and style of her earlier book, to make it live again; she repeats anecdotes, and often sentences, word for word; she creates repeating prose patterns whose effect, in the end, is to confer the author's own numbness on the reader. What she cannot do is master her own material: instead of grieving with her, we are watching her grieve. This is a piteous and exposing process, and one which places a moral burden on the reader. And it is here that Didion's lack of humility comes back to haunt her, for by burdening the reader she is also making herself vulnerable to judgment. Early on, describing a set of photographs of Quintana as a child, she writes: "In a few she is wearing a cashmere turtleneck sweater I brought her from London when we went that May to do promotion for the European release of The Panic in Needle Park." What passed in The Year of Magical Thinking as the camaraderie of husband and wife becomes, at a stroke, something more disturbing – a kind of parental attention-seeking that again and again drives Didion's sentences away from their subject and back to herself. "Was I the problem?" she asks. "Was I always the problem?"
She's right about the language, the repetition, the construction. But Cusk misses the point here. Didion's self-aggrandizement is a terrifying part of being a parent—never knowing whether you've done enough; or rather, knowing you've never done enough. Blue Nights is about apprehension of an ending, and the fact that Didion can't stop bringing it back on herself is more about a parent's guilt than narcissism.
I guess Cusk wasn't drawn into Didion's grief, but I certainly found parts of this book startlingly sad. I didn't just watch as she grieved, because Joan Didion knows how to write grief. She offers us so many tiny moments of her unbearable grief—the "sundries" box, are you kidding me?! "Again, the careful printing. The printing alone I cannot forget. The printing alone breaks my heart"—that she avoids being drawn down too deeply. As in The Year of Magical Thinking, she circles the subject, because it's too difficult to linger there. She's not melodramatic, but that's never been Didion's thing. I do love that in this book she comes right out and tells us what it's about:
When I began writing these pages, I believed their subject to be children…the ways in which we depend on our children to depend on us…the ways in which our investments in each other remain too freighted ever to see the other clear. The ways in which neither we nor they can bear to contemplate the death or the illness or even the aging of the other. As the pages progressed it occurred to me that their actual subject was not children after all…their actual subject was this refusal even to engage in such contemplation, this failure to confront the certainties of aging, illness, death…only as the pages progressed further did I understand that the two subjects were the same. When we talk about mortality we are talking about our children.
This is not in Didion style, and I think that's why it feels so vulnerable. My thesis advisor stressed that we are always evolving as writers: "Do I really need to start this piece all over?" "Yes! You're a different writer than you were two weeks ago." I think Didion's style is evolving, and that fans of Didion like me (Didionheads? Joan Drones? Slouchers?) can appreciate where her work has come from and what it is now, and still believe we have things to learn from Didion. Final words: Quick read, sad, worth it.
14 Responses to "This is not about quiet days or hair flowers"
Glad you wrote about this book. Though I'm nowhere close to picking it up, it's interesting to track your experience as a parent reading about that particular kind of grief. Sidenote: Flanagan is FASCINATING to me. And by that I mean, I wanted to punch things when I read that article in the Atlantic. I've been trying to find the time to blog about it, but alas. Glad you mentioned it here.
Love this part: "Didion didn't give us quiet days and flowers. Didion gave us subtle malaise and powerful ennui, a palpable pessimism, and we fucking loved it."
Awesome post Tanya! I hate Didion's politics, don't always agree with her observations, but always love her writing for all of the reasons Sam mentioned.
I also think it's stupid to label Didion as a women's writer. I think it's stupid to label any writing as "women's writing" or "men's writing." I fall in love with prose written by both genders and I think we limit writing, writers, and readers by assigning whom it should appeal to.

Had our system replaced last week with a 3.5 ton XR13 AC, 80k XV80 furnace, and Honeywell IAQ stat. I was reading the various manuals and looking at the settings (I am a nerd mechanical engineer and like to know how things work) and found a few things that seemed off, wanted to get some insight before the tech comes back later this week for a checkup (the furnace makes a rattling/clunking noise at fan start up). System maintained temp at 75 deg and humidity ~50% during our ridiculous heat of the past few days FWIW.
Dip switches S4-1 and 2 are both set to On and it seems the ComfortR profile is active whenever a cooling call is made.
The IAQ is set up for dehumidify with AC (379=1). The system definitely turns on the AC if the measured humidity goes 5% higher than the setting. Overcooling limit is set to 3 deg (383=3) and this seems to work correctly too. What is not clear is if the wiring is set up correctly to run the blower at the reduced speed for dehumidification. Here's what I see inside the EIM:
From EIM:
All other terminals are unused. At the furnace I see the following:
Additionally, some of the dip switches are confusing. Note 9 in the furnace install guide states "...S5-2 switch must be set in the 'Off' position if humidistat is used. The 'S5-2' switch must also be turned to 'Off' when applying an airflow command signal to 'BK'." The S5-2 switch is actually set to On. I guess since the wiring described above isn't there this is "correct" for the time being? Last, for 2 stage heating - the wiring looks correct per the manuals (EIM W1 and W2 wired to furnace W and W2). Dip switches S7-4 are all Off, so I think that means no 2nd stage heat delay (correct for stat control of this feature?) and the default 90 second heat off delay. But then in the stat, it appears to be set for 1 stage heating - 176=1 and option 250 (CPH for 2nd stage heat) does not appear. So, it appears that both the dehumidification and 2-stage heating features are setup sorta half correctly, and that while ComfortR is definitely working I saw a few references to jumpers that should be in place that aren't. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, want to make sure this thing is set up correctly. jeff |

In "Sing to the Power," a Tapestry of Faith program
Distribute materials at work tables, including Handout 1 (peace pinwheel template) and a square of color paper for each participant. (Hold on to the pins and pencils until children are ready to assemble their pinwheels).
Invite children to decorate the pinwheels and draw pictures or write words expressing their hopes and prayers for peace. Then, help them cut out the pinwheel template and assemble their pinwheels.
After they have finished constructing their pinwheels, gather the group together, and ask everyone to blow on their pinwheels together, sending out their prayers for peace. Point out that in Hebrew, the language of the Hebrew Bible, the word ruach (ROO-ahk) means both "breath" and "spirit"—breath and spirit are the same. When we offer our breath to our prayers we offer our spirits. How might it change the world if we offer our breath/our spirit to prayers for peace?
Children who are not able to write may dictate their thoughts to a leader or draw their hopes and prayers for peace.

I have Georgia red rock-hard clay soil. I always have a hard time digging the ground by using a pointed shovel. I am going to plant a lot of trees and shrubs. Can anyone suggest any good tools to use, so my palms don't get swollen? What tools do you usually use to dig holes with? I am looking for easiest, quick, and less elbow grease ways. Thanks |

There may be easier ways to do it, and we don't exactly have clay soil, but we found a good old fashioned pickaxe to do just fine in preparing our rocky, hard, dense sandy soil to be moved or removed by shovel. |

Get you a five or six foot crowbar. You know...the kind with a point at one end and a round knob at the other end. You can get it a Home Depot or Lowes. It's heavy and it does a great job of breaking up the dirt so you can get it out with the post hole diggers or shovel. It also keeps you in good shape. Good luck...DT |
Gas powered auger/post hole digger. |

in our rock hard clay i have foudn the easiest way is to run a soaker hose in the area for a couple days before you plan on digging by hand. just turn it on low and let it run. then the day before turn it off. next day the soil is dry enough not to be a mud hole, but damp enough to dig easily. it may take a few times to get the flow right, too much water and you have a muddy mess and not enough and you wasted the water. the trick is to do it slow enough that it does not run off. toolwise, i use a pick axe, a shovel and an old post hole digger. my PHD is not the squeeze type, it is an auger that you turn to dig the hole. it has a T-handle on it and you just spin it down. when we put up a fence at work several holes had to be hand dug due to proximity to underground utilities. i could dig 2 holes to 1 against the guys using the squeeze type PDH. |

How to Slipstream SP2 and Cumulative Updates into Project Server 2007 RTM or SharePoint Server RTM (Graphical Step-By-Step)
I do a fair bit of consulting / training and in order to cut down the installation and updating time, I've slipstreamed SP2 and the Cumulative Updates into my RTM bits. Because there's no sense getting started with the configuration until the infrastructure is rock solid. So I have decided to post my Graphical Step-by-Step procedure. Here it is:
In this procedure I will be using Project Server 2007 RTM bits, but you can substitute for MOSS 2007 RTM bits. Either one will work. Also the folder names I use can be changed to whatever suites your needs. Just make sure that you can tell the x86 and x64 bits apart
Step 1 – Download Service Packs and Cumulative Updates
1. Download Service Pack 2 (for both x86 and x64) for WSS 3.0 and SharePoint Server 2007 into a folder called SP2. Here are the links to get the downloads:
Service Pack 2 for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, x86 & x64
Service Pack 2 for Office SharePoint Server 2007, x86 & x64
2. Request the latest Cumulative Updates for WSS and MOSS
June Cumulative Update for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, x86 & x64
June Cumulative Update for Office SharePoint Server 2007, x86 & x64
NOTE: Click Show hotfixes for all platforms and languages (2) link to display both platforms
Select both files and complete Section 2 and use a REAL email address as you will be receiving an email from Microsoft Support with the download link and password for the files that you will be extracting to use later.
3. Open your emails from firstname.lastname@example.com and click on the links provided to download the Cumulative Update files. Do not delete the emails as it contains the passwords you will need in order to extract the files.
4. Save the downloaded files into a folder called June_CU
5. Double click on the 386539_intl_x64_zip.exe file and the Microsoft Self-Extractor dialog box appears and click Continue.
6. In the location box, type S:\June_CU and click OK.
Click Yes to create the folder.
7. Type the corresponding password that was included in your email.
8. Repeat Steps 5-7 for the remaining files.
Step 2 – Copy Project Server 2007 RTM Files
9. Load your Project Server 2007 CD into the DVD drive and copy the contents of the CD into a folder called PS2007_RTM
Step 3 – Extract and Copy Service Pack 2 Files to Updates Folder
10. Open a Command Prompt window and type the following commands:
S:\SP2\wssv3sp2-kb953338-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:S:\SP2\WSS_SP2_x86 S:\SP2\wssv3sp2-kb953338-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:S:\SP2\WSS_SP2_x64 S:\SP2\officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:S:\SP2\MOSS_SP2_x86 S:\SP2\officeserver2007sp2-kb953334-x64-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:S:\SP2\MOSS_SP2_x64
Accept the License Agreement and click Continue
11. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to extracted folder (S:\WSS_SP2_x86) and copy the contents to the Updates folder (S:\PS2007_RTM\x86\Updates). Repeat the procedure for each of the following extracted SP2 folders to the corresponding Updates folders.
Extracted SP2 Folder Updates Folder x86 Files S:\WSS_SP2_x86 S:\PS2007_RTM\x86\Updates S:\MOSS_SP2_x86 S:\PS2007_RTM\x86\Updates x64 Files S:\WSS_SP2_x64 S:\PS2007_RTM\x64\Updates S:\MOSS_SP2_x64 S:\PS2007_RTM\x64\Updates
IMPORTANT: It is very important to copy the correct platform files to to correct Updates folder
12. In Windows Explorer, navigate to S:\PS2007_RTM\x86\Updates and delete the wsssetup.dll file. Repeat in the x64\Updates folder.
NOTE: The wsssetup.dll file from WSS SP2 may cause a conflict with the svrsetup.dll file from Office Server SP2. Having both files in the Updates folder is not supported by Microsoft.
Step 4 – Extract and Copy the Cumulative Updates Files to Updates Folder
13. Open a Command Prompt window and type the following commands:
S:\June_CU\wss-kb971538-fullfile-x86-glb.exe /extract:S:\June_CU\WSS_CU_x86 S:\June_CU\wss-kb971538-fullfile-x64-glb.exe /extract:S:\June_CU\WSS_CU_x64 S:\June_CU\office-kb971537-fullfile-x86-glb.exe /extract:S:\June_CU\MOSS_CU_x86 S:\June_CU\office-kb971537-fullfile-x64-glb.exe /extract:S:\June_CU\MOSS_CU_x64
Accept the License Agreement and click Continue.
14. In Windows Explorer, navigate to extracted folder (S:\June_CU\WSS_CU_x86) and copy the contents to the Updates folder (S:\PS2007_RTM\x86\Updates). Repeat the procedure for each of the following extracted SP2 folders to the corresponding Updates folders.
Extracted SP2 Folder Updates Folder x86 Files S:\June_CU\WSS_CU_x86 S:\PS2007_RTM\x86\Updates S:\June_CU\MOSS_CU_x86 S:\PS2007_RTM\x86\Updates x64 Files S:\June_CU\WSS_CU_x64 S:\PS2007_RTM\x64\Updates S:\June_CU\MOSS_CU_x64 S:\PS2007_RTM\x64\Updates
IMPORTANT: It is very important to copy the correct platform files to to correct Updates folder
15. Rename PS2007_RTM folder to PS2007_SP2_CU
16. Burn the contents of the PS2007_SP2_CU folder to a DVD disc or create an ISO image using your favorite tool. (Personally I use ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com) as it's a nice little tool. (Thanks for tip Gordo!)
Step 5 – Test by Installing Project Server
This step assumes that you have installed or have access to the necessary pre-installation software (such as IIS, SQL Server, etc.) and components (ASP.NET 2.0, etc)
17. Insert your newly created PS2007_SP2_CU DVD disc into the CD/DVD-ROM drive.
18. Depending on how you burned your DVD disc should autorun setup.exe
19. Install using Complete (as a Single Server Farm)
20. Almost at the end of the Installation Progress you should see the following:
It will take a few minutes to install Service Pack 2 and the June Cumulative Updates for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007.
21. After the installation is complete, go to the Control Panel and open Add or Remove Programs.
22. At the top of the window, select Show updates check box and scroll down to Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 where you should see the following:
If you check the KB article numbers listed you will find that they match the June Cumulative Updates.
You should also note that if you select an update and click the link for Support Information, you will notice that you cannot uninstall the update. It's because we included it as the initial installation. If the update was done afterwards, then the uninstall option would be available.
So if you see this list, then you have properly slipstreamed Project Server 2007 DVD disc to include SP2 and Cumulative Updates

Joey Belladonna of Anthrax talks about Married...With Children and rejoining the band
Considered one of the "big four" of the thrash metal era, Anthrax (see our preview here) put New York on the map with its inventive take on infusing metal with a punk rock spirit. When singer Joey Belladonna joined in time to record 1985's Spreading the Disease, that band had its classic, and arguably most fruitful, line-up. Andy Buchanan Scott Ian, Frank Bello, Joey Belladonna, Charlie Benante and Rob Caggiano (L-R) are Anthrax.
Over the course of the next seven years, Anthrax pioneered a true fusion of rap and metal as well as expanded the idea of what metal could be by injecting a healthy dose of silly, and sometimes biting, humor along with warping the sometimes rigid lines of heavy metal's aesthetics.
Playful yet heavy, Anthrax made what could be unrelentingly intense music seem fun. We had a chat with Joey Belladonna, recently reunited with the band and spoke with him about how he joined, the appearance of Anthrax on Married...With Children and rejoining the band after the jump.
How did you come to join Anthrax?
Joey Belladonna: I got a call from management and they wanted to know if I wanted to check out a band called "Anthrax." And I said, "You know what? Why not?" It was my first flight on any type of plane at all from Plattsburgh, New York to Ithaca, New York. From there it was, "Wow, okay, I never heard of these guys before." Seemed pretty cool, though, pretty heavy. Seemed like they had everything going for them the way they wanted to do it. I wasn't sure what was going to come of it. I wasn't sure at first if I wanted to join because I didn't know if it was the best offer or the best thing for me to do. But it sounded good and I said, "Let's do this."
They were looking for a studio and they heard a demo from a band I was in called Bible Black. The demo was something we weren't even planning on doing and we had hardly worked it out. Apparently they heard me singing and wanted to know how to get a hold of me. So Carl Canedy, the producer, somehow hunted me down through the people that I was playing with. Bible Black actually was some guys from Rainbow -- they were part of the band Elf [the band originally fronted by Ronnie James Dio - ed.].
With Among the Living, the band became more experimental and humorous and I have to assume that you were integral to that shift. What influenced that change in sound?
It's so hard to say what influenced anybody or what turned the page. I'm writing an album now and where did those ideas come from? I don't know, collectively we just started doing it. Is it heavy enough? Is it not heavy enough? We're pretty humorous people and stuff like that starts to rub off on the songs.
Anthrax did music with Public Enemy and UTFO. Why was there such a strong link between your band and hip-hop that didn't really exist so overtly with most other metal bands in the 80s?
No, not at all. I was on my way home from, maybe doing the "Indians" video, coming in to do the UTFO thing. I was like, "Gosh, holy shit, I don't know." I forgot I even did that.
How did Anthrax become involved in that MTV contest to demolish that car in 1989 and what was it like actually going and doing it?
I don't think we planned on demolishing anything. We just knew somebody had won a contest so MTV, of course, arranged for us to go to that person's house and give the vehicle away. Next thing you know... I remember somebody said, "Now it's time to break the car." I think the person may have destroyed it long after us. She may have asked us to spray paint it or do some stuff to it. It was actually a jeep or something like that.
How did Anthrax end up on Married...With Children scripted and were your parts scripted?
Yeah, it was all on paper. You know, everything was logged in as a line for everyone. They change it daily on people and a lot of it's so strange. I think management or someone in the band approached doing something else, The Simpsons maybe. Someone had definitely been researching how we could get on that show.

"These turned out great! Very moist and the rhubarb worked perfectly. I used white flour and subbed 1/4 cup of wheat flour. I thought this added a really nice texture that complemented the rhubarb.

This seems peculiar. I picked up a mature clump of coreopsis, Baby Sun I believe - it's the shorter one that doesn't flop, from a place that sells them right out of the ground. I've bought a lot of plants from there and they've always been just fine. This was in June. The plant already had buds on it and proceeded to bloom. It was a little unhappy with the transplant, so I picked off a lot of the flowers at first. Then it flowered just fine for a couple of weeks, although each bloom was very short-lived.
A friend also bought a clump on the same day. Hers is doing the same, so this can't be a cultivation issue. Mine gets about four-five hours of direct sun a day and bright/dappled shade thereafter, hers is in full sun pretty much all day. Does anyone know why this plant would be taking a break? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, I don't know much about this particular plant, but I would guess that what's happening is due to the transplant. You took a plant that was just about to flower and you dug it out of the ground and transplanted it at the worst possible time (the best time to transplant is just after a plant is done blooming, not just before the buds open). It's probably using all its energy to get new roots established. I'd be surprised if these buds open at all - you might have to wait until next season. |

This looks like a wonderful plant. > A friend also bought a clump on the same day. Hers is doing the same, so this can't be a cultivation issue. Well, it *can* be a cultivation issue, 2 plants behaving the same way does not rule that out, but debgrow is right, it is probably a timing issue. If you have your heart set on seeing some flowers this season, you *might* try removing about half of the buds; I'd just wait and see what happens, myself. Paghat says it often re-blooms in fall, so you may yet be rewarded. |

Social Media Engagement
Social Media Engagement is time consuming. If you have tried to build a Facebook Page but are wondering why you have no fans, when you have a lot of real world customers you aren't alone. Creating a Twitter account, a Youtube Channel, Google+ or Facebook Page requires time and patience. You don't have time to sit on Facebook all day keeping an eye on things, so slowly your existing followers stop posting, you lose interest and your page dies an undeserved death.
Our team knows social media. Whether you want custom Facebook Page Tabs, a Twitter account, to start doing YouTube video's we can help. A lot of experts agree that you should devote a minimum of 2 hours per day to managing your social media accounts, more if you have a lot of fans. Why so much? Social media is so much more than just posting specials, contests and funny messages. Social media is about engaging your customers, listening to what they have to say and responding appropriately, crafting messages and campaigns to get them to interact with your brand, and using your brand to comment and post on other companies pages or groups.
Let's talk!
Listen & cut through the clutter
Okay, so your Facebook page is a hit. You have high engagement levels, people are posting messages and pictures. They are tweeting you, blogging about you and posting on forums about you. Your happy! But, how do you keep track of it all? How do you determine what posts are positive, negative, or spam? How do you determine which posts to respond to, which ones to ignore and which ones to delete? Better yet, how do you know where they are even talking about you? Using a variety of technology our team monitors the internet for talk about your brand, products or people and creates reports detailing high risk and low risk action items, removes spam or abusive content where possible and engages you or your staff when a comment from a user needs to be responded too, and fast.
Take this example from United Airlines. In 2009, Canadian musician, Dave Carroll flew on United Airlines. While he was sitting in the plane, he was watching the baggage handlers load the plane. He saw them pick up his $3,500 Taylor guitar and throw it in to the plane, breaking it. Dave did everything right. For 9 months, he called, wrote, emailed, and talked to people at United and they told him to stop because he was not going to get compensation. So, he decided to take out his frustration musically, and wrote a song and video which he published on YouTube, which you can watch below.
Now, not withstanding the fact that United should have fixed the problem BEFORE it got to this point, this caused huge problems for United. ONE person upset with their brand, made ONE video and put it on YouTube. The video went viral and over 11,000,000 people have watched it, 53,000 liked it and 28,000 people commented on it. If United was listening properly they could have responded quicker and mitigated any damage. The damage? It is estimated to be $180,000,000 dollars. If United caught the video before it went viral (which took about 4 days), they may have been able to mitigate at least part of the damage. Can your business afford to have $180,000,000 go out the window because of one person's actions online? We know that One2M can't.
Let us monitor for you and mitigate any issues like this from occurring
Engage Them
Social media isn't a one way street. Amongst the noise that is social media, your message needs to stick out. But social media isn't a one-to-many marketing platform like TV or radio. Its a many-to-many communication where anyone and everyone can be a friend or foe of your business. Engaging users on social media involves them interacting with you in some way, such as posting a comment, adding a photo, asking a question, downloading a coupon or some other action. Social media allows you to use the friends of your business to market for you, but only if they are engaged enough to do so. Posting status updates isn't enough. No one cares what you have to say, they are more interested in what they have to say. But how do you engage them? Is asking "Do you like our business?" engaging? No, because the user gets nothing out of it, you might get a few likes, a few comments but that is it.
We did an engagement test on one of our Facebook Pages. We asked a simple but relevant question, purchased $25 in advertising to support the question and let the ad run for 5 days. That is $5 a day. The end result? We engaged over 1,100 people in just one week. Facebook fans went up, comments on the wall went up, and brand awareness went up. In the end, it cost us $0.02 per person engaged. Try engaging people on TV, Radio, or even Google for two cents.

Succulent fruit of Citrullus lanatus (formerly C. vulgaris), in the gourd family, native to tropical Africa and cultivated on every continent except Antarctica. The vines spread across the ground with branched tendrils, deeply cut leaves, and light-yellow flowers. Each vine bears 2–15 large, reddish, white, or yellow, sweet, very juicy fruits with flat black seeds. Varieties differ in flesh color, shape, and rind thickness. The rind may be preserved as a pickle.

Three Weeks in Ubud (Part 2)
After a great week, my first week in Ubud continue to the second week but this time I really put my time to do some serious fieldwork. Prepare the questionnaire, questions for interview , guidelines for focus group discussion and other tools for gathering the data that I need during fieldwork. To be honest, I was a bit stress to start this but I have to do it and I must. Here's the second part of this series!

Laptops in the classroom - to ban or not to ban? That is the new question.
Getty Images
Laptop ban
The prevalence of laptops in college classrooms has been hailed as good and bad. Students love it. They can type faster than they can write, AND they can surf the web during class! Professors across the country have figured that out and have started banning laptops in the classroom. On the flip side, smart phones are here to stay, so what good will a ban on laptops really do when students can just pull out their phones and check their email? And how will professors enforce this rule in larger classrooms? We talk to two professors about their views on the issue.
David Cole, professor of law at Georgetown Law School. Banned laptops in his classroom. His most recent book is "Enemy Aliens: Double Standards and Constitutional Freedoms in the War on Terrorism."
Siva Vaidhyanathan, Associate professor of media studies at the University of Virginia. Doesn't agree with banning laptops.

"Coming… this fall… only in theaters," or "Coming… tomorrow… Friday… December 10th… only in theaters…" You probably have heard similar phrases over the years. Did you know you probably were listinening to Yorba Linda resident Scott Rummell.
Kathy Vargas has a great interview over at the Daily Titan for CSUF.
Scott Rummell is the man behind the big booming voice who is constantly heard on movie trailers, such as Terminator Salvation, Going the Distance, All Good Things, and The Blindside, or announcing the ABC or CBS evening lineup, CNN, Fox's Fringe and more.

"I think this was better than the original. The only thing I would say is that I'm fairly sure there shouldn't be 1 TABLESPONN black pepper in this recipe. That was a bit overpowering. I bet 1 teaspoon of black pepper would provide the correct flavor without the "In-your-face" pepper taste."

Current progress: page 134 / 334.
I've actually edited more than 134 pages; this is how much was left after all my cuts. *cracks knuckles*
Since I'm knee-deep in line edits, I thought I'd share my method and why it works for me. Although I work entirely digitally up to this point, line editing is definitely where you'll want to print your book and go at it with a red pen.
Reason number one: The words will look different on the page.
Reason number two: You can get away from the computer, which helps against distractions.
Reason number three: Your changes are less final, so it's easier to be ruthless. After all, you're not actually incorporating the changes into your file yet. You know you'll get a second chance of considering your changes.
That last reason is the biggest for me. If your goal is to cut, be vicious. I recommend not just looking at sentences and thinking of how you can rephrase it or remove words, but actually doing it. It's easy to stick to sounding out sentences in your mind, or to think, "No, this word is essential." Don't fall into that trap. Take out your fat red pen, slash through any dubious words, and re-read the paragraph. It may work better than you think.
If not? Underline your change with a green pen to remind yourself to ignore it when you're entering your edits on the computer. You may be surprised at how rarely the green pen will come into play, though.

In the end they didn't have to beg too long or hard, though, as a benevolent woman and then other generous locals approached to offer assistance. In what seemed like no time at all the Rockers had drummed up $100, just by the sheer magnetic force of their gentle eyes and welcoming facial hair -- and, I assume, the attention they were drawing by walking around being filmed for TV. Whatever. Good for them. I don't know if "slow and steady wins the race" is exactly the right expression to describe the Rockers -- maybe it's "efficient and drama-free does really well on most of the legs" or something much better than that -- but these guys sure are some tough cookies who've overcome a bunch of hurdles: James' news from home last week, Abba's bum knees, Abba's foot-in-sewer incident, and now the stolen money. These two aren't the youngest, the strongest, the loudest or the wiliest, but despite this -- or because of it -- they sure as hell are some of the best racers of this season.
Everyone flew to Turkey on the same plane.
When the teams arrived in Istanbul, they had the option of taking the Metro or a taxi to the ferry that would shuttle them across the Bosphorus Strait. The Chipmunks and Truckers were the only teams to choose the Metro, and it was odd when Jaymes said "Monster Truck just got on, at least we're not alone," as if the Truckers' presence was somehow reassuring to him. Obviously the Truckers have proven themselves to have the worst judgement of any team, and to me, their presence would be an indicator that I was absolutely in the wrong place.
Soon enough, though, Jaymes had second thoughts about their choice of transport. Listen, I'll say it: I feel a tiny bit sorry for him. His Race partner James seems like a nice enough guy but doesn't strike me as someone who Jaymes can lean on or who can help out with strategy decisions -- he seems more like an appendage or well-behaved pet. Is that mean? Sorry. They just don't seem like equals, and from what we can see, Jaymes doesn't get a lot of input from his partner aside from affirming yeahs and mumbles. Anyway, Jaymes made the executive decision to get them off the Metro mid-route (a smart move), and in the way it's maddening yet also oddly satisfying when a person acts the exact way you predict they will, I felt validated when Rob said "The guys that got off made a big mistake," and pitied the Chips for being "followers." That is so Rob! In any case, these two teams' Metro ride would indeed end up haunting them the rest of the leg; both teams hovered near the back of the pack throughout.

Letters of evaluation are traditional recommendation letters recommending a person to a U.S. dental school. Letters of evaluation are not required as part of a complete application. ADEA CAAPID℠ will process up to three letters. Applicants should check the program to which they are applying to determine if the program wants letters from specific individuals (e.g., supervisors, professors, dentists).
Letters of evaluation can be sent in two formats:
Waiver of Access
The letter of evaluation form requires a waiver statement. A U.S. federal law (P.L. 93-30, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act [FERPA] of 1974) protecting education records requires applicants to certain educational programs, including dental education programs, to indicate whether they wish to waive or retain the right to read evaluations submitted on their behalf. If an applicant waives access, he or she is assuring the evaluator of the permanent confidentiality of comments made on behalf of the applicant.

Grand Canyon National Park
Bright Angel Trail
Strenuous 9.6 miles/15.4 km hike to the Inner Gorge and Phantom Ranch, with 4400 ft/1350 m descent. From the aptly named Trail View west of The Village you can see large portions of the trail, including the first 1.5 mile in the photo (left.) The first resthouse is just beyond the left edge. The right photo is taken at the switchback in the center of the left photo. The canyon soon starts showing its size. |
After another resthouse at 3 miles from the top, the trail descend sharply down the Redwall cliff and finally levels off near Indian Gardens (4.6 miles/3000ft down) meeting Tonto Trail. Do not venture beyond Plateau Point, easy 1.5mile ahead, without backcountry permit or reservations at Phantom Ranch another 3.5 miles ahead. Colorado River is 1.7 mile and 1400 ft down from the Plateau Pt. |
South Kaibab Trail is even steeper than Bright Angel, with no water and exposure to the sun most of the way. It reaches Phantom Ranch in 7.2 miles, dropping 4800 ft to reach the river. A possible day-hike takes South Kaibab 4.4 miles/3260 ft down to the plateau, then Tonto trail west, returning via the Bright Angel trail. The trail starts near Yaki Point with a series of steep switchbacks down into a side canyon (left,) then levels off for a while (right.) | |||
A long series of steps descends past Ooh-Aah Point with great views up and down the canyon (left) to Cedar Ridge. The trail follows the ridge for a while, eventually dropping down another series of switchbacks to the plateau and Tonto trail (right.) Shortly after the intersection you will see the suspension bridge crossing Colorado River on the way to Phantom Ranch. Do not attempt to stay there without reservations (call a year ahead!) |
West Rim Trail, Mule Rides etc. |
North Kaibab Trail: the longest, easiest trail to the bottom of GC follows a side canyon 14 mi /23 km down 6000 ft/1800 m to meet South Kaibab + Bright Angel Trails at Phantom Ranch. | Coconino Overlook less than a mile down (photo,) Supai Tunel (2mi) and Roaring Springs (5 mi/7.5 km and 3050ft / 930m down) are good day-hike destinations on this trail. |
Hiking down into the Grand Canyon even for a short distance provides much better appreciation for
the enormity and beauty of the canyon. It is strenuous, and the dangers should not be underestimated.
In summer the temperatures inside the canyon are 20°F higher than at the rim. Carry enough water and
follow the rangers' advice. Some trails - South Kaibab among them - have no water sources at all, and most
other sources are not reliable.
The best time is generally either Spring or Fall, when the weather is mild and the danger of thunderstorms
is relatively low:
At the South Rim: | Winter | Spring | Summer | Fall |
Temperature, °F max | 45 | 50-70 | 80 | 50-75 |
Temperature, °F min | 15 | 25-40 | 45-55 | 25-45 |
Thunderstorms/month | - | 5 | 15 | 3 |
All the facilities at both Rims are operated by Xanterra, L.L.C. The North Rim lodge and campground are open only from May 15 until Oct.15. South Rim is opened year round, but some of the Amfac-operated lodges do close for a time in the winter.
South Rim (The Village) - reserve early:
***El Tovar Hotel ... on the rim, nice historical lodge, some small rooms.
* Bright Angel Lodge ... on the rim, rustic cabins + lodge rooms with shared bathrooms.
** Kachina Lodge ... on the rim, motel style
** Thunderbird Lodge ... on the rim, motel style.
** Yavapai Lodge ... 5 min. walk to the rim, near store.

After a sluggish December, importers of Mexican watermelons report stronger markets in January — and they likely will last a lot longer than that.
"It's going to get a little short, and a little crazy," said Brent Harrison, president of Nogales, Ariz.-based Al Harrison Co. "I'm afraid there will be a bidding war."
The Jalisco and Nayarit growing regions likely will wind up production in the first half of February, Harrison said. Between then and early April, supplies will be tight.
"We're looking at a gap the second half of February and most of March," he said. "We're already starting to see some of the effects of it."
Also, strong domestic demand in Mexico is luring producers with the promise of being paid in cash, Harrison said.
"It's hard to compete with that."
Rising prices in mid-January are driven by supply more than demand, said Ward Thomas, owner of McAllen, Texas-based Majestic Produce Sales.
"They're going up right now due to a lack of supplies coming in," Thomas said Jan. 16.
That was a welcome relief after a sluggish start to the import season, he said.
Jimmy Henderson, owner of Warren Produce LLC, McAllen, agreed.
"Demand has been off for the past month," he said Jan. 16. "It was pretty slow, then all of a sudden, you have 40% less coming in. It caused the market to react quite a bit."
On Jan. 21, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $5-6 per melon for 15-pound to 18-pound red-flesh seeded melons and $5-7 per melon for red-flesh seedless watermelons, the same price as last year at the same time.
Henderson doesn't see that changing anytime soon.
"We'll see a lot higher f.o.b.s for the foreseeable future," he said. "There are no new areas to change the supply side until mid-March."
New growing regions will come on before then, but they're not big enough producers to likely make much of a dent in markets, Henderson said.
Looking back on the pre-rain market, Henderson isn't quite sure what kept demand in check.
"I wish I could tell you," he said. "It really concerned me. We had a mild December, but the crossings compared to last two years were down, and the markets were also down" from the past two years, he said.
What troubles Henderson the most is that the sluggish movement and markets may have been primarily due to forces beyond his and other importers' control.

Megan Michelson Nominated for Best Female Performance!
Every year on our film tour we get the comment "You need more women who rip in your films." And we couldn't agree more, our goal for several years has been to capture a mind blowing big mountain female segment. But, it's not as if these ripping ladies are just standing around on the street corners waiting for us to finally film them. It's just not that easy! You need a gal who has time off to ski without pay, knows herself and her abilities, really excels at skiing, hikes quickly, keeps her cool when she's alone peering down a two thousand foot face and doesn't mind being holed up in a smelly RV with a bunch of dudes. Now take a minute and honestly ask yourself how many women you know that can really fill those boots.
Several years ago a writer from Outside Magazine got in touch with us to do a review of our film. Emailing back and forth the same old comment came up about us needing more women shredding on screen. Getting perturbed I called her out and told her that she should do it, she should be the one. Taking on the challenge, Megan Michelson came out to the Wasatch mountains. After our first day touring the backcountry, we saw that Megan was the full package we had been looking for. It became our goal to see what would happen when her racing background and fearlessness were mixed with the long steep lines of Alaska. Luckily all the ingredients came together with good weather, low avalanche hazard and good snow conditions. Here is Megan's segment from last years movie Television. Enjoy!
As if her skiing didn't say enough on it's own Megan was just nominated for BEST FEMALE PERFORMANCE for the Powder Magazine Video Awards.
The Verizon-Samsung Best Female
Ingrid Backstrom in The Way I See It by MSP Films
Megan Michelson in Television by Powderwhore Productions
Grete Eliassen in Say My Name by Stan Evans Photography
Elyse Saugstad in The Invincibles by Mog Productions
We are really proud to be part of this nomination and want to thank Megan for all her dedication to making this happen. And we noticed we didn't hear any remarks this year about us needing more women that shred.

Last week's openings got us all hot and bothered, literally. Summer weather came back just as it was expected to end—and it's due to the Bushwick art scene heating up (so it's not just global warming, guys). From 56 Bogart to Wayfarers and onto Hood Gallery, the intensifying temps of the art world reheated us just as quickly as that 30-second button on a home microwave. Read on for openings at Armature Art Space, TSA New York, Outlet and more! Read more »
