Sample images using the built in HDR function on the Nikon D5200 – Options are HDR OFF, Auto HDR, Extra High, High, Norm, and Low. In my testing there was often very little difference between auto, normal and low. Notice the serious Halos around your higher contrast areas when HDR was set to Extra High. Compare the options and results to the HDR feature built into the Canon T4i and it is clear that Nikon offers some real potential here but it still is not going to beat bracketing three shots on your own and combining in Photomatix or Photoshop.
HDR OFF – Mouse over for HDR Extra High
HDR OFF – Mouse over for HDR Auto
Viewing tip – Open up the photos and use the arrow keys to navigate through – once you have been through all of the photos once you can use the arrow keys to easily pop back and forth to compare the HDR on and off.

A few months ago I read Road to Serfdom for the first time, and a powerful and convincing read it was too. Hayek makes the case that Nazi regime grew out of the destruction of the German middle classes, a hatred for British liberalism (specifically the 'free trade' economic liberalism of the day) and complete failure to understand the problems inherent to economic planning.
One of the most compelling arguments was the correlation between anti-capitalism and anti-semitism.
The argument goes that, excluded from the sort of unionised, protected jobs available to German nationals, Jewish people set up their own businesses – as, literally, the only means of making a living. They embraced capitalism and trade because it allowed them to feed themselves and their families and they were perceived as being very successful at that.
Of course the German working classes, having been through a depression and economic disaster, saw it differently – they saw Jewish people making a living and not sharing their wealth with the German people. Jealousy quickly turns to hatred, and all it then takes is the right politician to come along to threaten to use the power of the state to redress the balance and, it seems, all hell breaks loose.
I look around the town where I live and I see a disturbing parallel – a hated and despised immigrant population (mostly from Pakistan) whose main source of employment appears to be either self employment or working for other people from Pakistan. Any poverty in the Pakistani community is hidden because the only interactions most white people have with them is when they order take-away, or go into a corner shop, or order a taxi. Others live in the same area – the part of the town that has the cheapest housing – and have watched as the their streets have become increasingly ethnic in appearance. This freaks people out. They don't like it, and they're condemned as thought criminals if they say so. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't… but is it entirely fair or reasonable to force people to think anything through bullying, hectoring, intimidation? If there's nothing wrong with being the only white person left on your street, why does it need saying? Why do people need to be persuaded of that?
The problem is this: What do you do about it?
Dispersing the immigrant population? How do you do that without evicting them from their homes, ripping them out of their jobs and families? Too fascist.
Preventing them from wearing 'ethnic' clothing? Well, how do you do that without passing laws about what is and isn't acceptable for people to wear? Again, that's distinctly un-British.
Deport the immigrants: Hard to imagine how that one ends well. Derisory bribes to leave are unlikely to be successful – it would require force and would quickly reduce Britain to the status of a rogue state, an international pariah. International trade would collapse, imports from Britain would be banned and we'd be utterly ruined.
The least worst option appears to be controls on immigration in the first place, it seems. There's no acceptable, humane or even British way of dealing with immigrant populations once they're in the country.
But then the question becomes does it really need dealing with in the first place? Apparently so, if you listen to the people who point to crime statistics from certain ethnic minority grouping as if this is the ultimate argument that, yes, immigration is a terrible thing. I'm not convinced. Other people argue that the public services and general infrastructure cannot cope with the growth in the population – which, I think, is a much more valid argument.
The growth in the population has exposed Britain's planning system as glacial, the dependence on the state to provide infrastructure as in error, and more horrifyingly it's shown that public services are not properly balanced – theoretically ten thousand more people paying tax should pay for the public services of ten thousand more people – but that is not the case. Public services are not paying for themselves based on the people using them thanks to ridiculous levels of centralisation and woefully inadequate five and ten year plans. More proof, as if it were needed, of the folly of economic planning.
This, I'm afraid, is the real problem. The solution of 'get rid of the immigrants! Stop them coming in' might temporarily relieve the stress on infrastructure and public services but it wouldn't fix the underlying problems – that this is a country that is institutionally incapable of adapting to anything and with an over mighty state stretched far, far, far beyond what it can be reasonably expected to be able to deal with.
And yet we blame the immigrants for this, for daring to expose the limits of our creaking, broken infrastructure. The current reasons for capping immigration is to protect the public services, benefits payments, social housing and job prospects of the people who are already here. It's socialism, you see, but just for British nationals. Hmmm…. why does that sound familiar?
But then this is the tendency of socialism – this is what happens. It's inevitable. As the state grows and "gives" more and more to the nationals in its jurisdiction, so the pressure grows to limit who counts as 'in' and who counts as 'out'.
People explode in a self-righteous fury if they believe that one group is getting something their own group isn't – and this fury is being channelled into the growth of fascist thought rather than providing the political will to stop Governments picking favourites and taking sides.
It may be that the socialists are the most vocal anti-racists, but it is they who've created the economic conditions in which racism thrives. It's they who've created a country with a growing obsession with stopping "foreigners" taking advantage of our welfare state, and it's they who've spent the last 100 years telling everyone that Free Trade (which includes free movement of people) is a bad and terrible thing, it's they who've told everyone that the job of the state is to pick sides and pick winners…. and they're acting surprised, shocked and outraged when people who see themselves as losers in the current system want to use the state for their own purposes?
What exactly did they think would happen? I mean, really? The only way to stop National Socialism in the UK is to stop socialism.

R.I.P. jazz great Marion Brown; Kings of Leon hate hipsters; DC9 remains closed
By David Malitz
- Avant-garde jazz saxophonist and ethnomusicologist Marion Brown passed away recently. He performed on John Coltrane's album "Ascension" and has a deep, forward-thinking discography of his own. Brown was also a professor at schools including Amherst and Brandeis.
- Kings of Leon hate those pesky "hipsters" and "indie" bands, frontman Caleb Followill tells Rolling Stone. The band had its heart set on selling out from the very beginning.
- Local club DC9 has canceled or moved all of its shows scheduled through the end of October in the wake of last week's death outside the club in which five employees have been charged with aggravated assault.

How do we greet one another this
Rosh Hashanah?
Erev Rosh Hashanah 2001/5762
Rabbi Jeffrey Summit
There is a section of the Talmud where the rabbis are remembered and represented by a few pithy phrases, a distillation of some of the most important things they taught throughout their lives. It is like the quote you put in your high school year book, although you don't chose it: others chose it to represent the most important things you have taught them. In that section, Pirkei Avot, the great sage Shammai is represented by the words, "greet every person you meet, b'sever panim yafot, greet every one in a really nice, appropriate manner." Now, you have got to ask, why would the rabbis focus on such a small thing? "Make sure to say hello to people?" Yet upon consideration, I don't think that this statement is trivial at all. Even if that spark between our eyes, between our hands, lasts a moment, how we receive one another when we meet, is one of the essential elements in creating community.
So, I have been thinking: What is the greeting we should use as we come together on this New Year? Traditionally we wish each other Shanah Tovah, a good year, or Shanah Tovah u'metukah, a good and sweet year. In English, it's common for us to translate that as "Happy New Year." Yet tonight, after the horrific events of last week, many of us feel neither happy nor good. As reports of deaths and injuries filter in and the country takes on a new mood, we feel like much of the sweetness has been taken out of the beginning of this year.
To me, it feels as if we need to find a new way of thinking, a new way of being, and certainly a new way of greeting one another at this difficult time. I would like to suggest three possible greetings on this Rosh Hashanah, and explore briefly how they might help us move ahead into this year with the strength and courage that feels so necessary at this moment.
The first new greeting I would suggest is Shanah shel nechama, a year of comfort. This is a time to especially value and cherish our friends and families and explore in a deeper way, what it means to support those who we love. But if we are really going to offer and receive comfort, we must be prepared to move deeper into our relationships with the people around us. I think of the Hasidic story of the rabbi who watches two Russian peasants drinking together at an Inn. The first asks, "Boris, do you love me?" His friend replies, "Ivan, Do I love you, we've worked side by side on our farm for years. Of course I love you!" They return to their vodka and a minute later, Ivan asks, "Boris, do you know what causes me pain?" Boris thinks for a moment and answers no. At that point Ivan roars, "If you don't know what causes me pain, how can you say you love me!? Afterwards, the Hasidic rebbe who heard this exchange said to his students, "This is the essence of our connection with one another. We must look deeply enough into one another's souls not only to know what makes us happy but also to understand what causes us pain." If we really are to have a year of comfort, we must be ready to go deeper with our friends and understand their fears and difficulties. At the same time, we must be willing to share our own burdens, revealing ourselves to those around us.
Now, there is a deeper secret contained here. Within the Hebrew word nechama, comfort, is found the word, nacha, rest, rejuvenation. At this time, we each have a responsibility to pay special attention to take care of ourselves. We can't be effective comforters if we allow ourselves to get used up in the process.
The next greeting I want to suggest for this New Year is Shanah Hazakah, a year of strength. There is much to be done and we will need strength to go forward effectively and intelligently. We need strength to proceed thoughtfully, even in our anger and grief. The word hazak means something else as well, it means resolve. I hope this is a year when we work to clarify the values that are important to us. It's a time when we must look closely at our country and work to understand our commitment to justice, our belief in democracy, and how our great economic wealth can be used for good. America is far from faultless in our dealings in the world; that should not blind us to the fact that evil exists and we need to oppose it when we encounter it. I understand the need to defend ourselves and that military power has a place in this struggle but I pray that we will have the strength to know that ultimately, the only things that will overcome evil are justice, understanding and love. It takes strength and resolve to stay discerning, refuse to stereotype certain groups and act thoughtfully in the presence of evil. We will need a Shanah Hazakah.
And that brings me to the last greeting that I want to suggest on this Rosh Hashanah, and that is Shanah Ahavah, a year of love. Now, I understand that my own generation did a lot to trivialize the word "love" in our national discourse. I came of age in the late 1960s when the phrase "peace and love" was overused, ultimately losing much of it's meaning and power. "The Summer of Love" in 1969 was a great party. Woodstock was a really good party (but it was very muddy, as I remember) Neither expressions of love solved the world's problems. So how can we speak of love without trivializing its meaning? I would like to suggest this: I think love is ultimately about the willingness of people to truly listen to one another, to open their hearts to one another. This is at the core of Judaism as we say the Shema, Listen! Shema Yisrael! Listen! That central prayer underscores the value of listening. The Shema teaches that while intelligent people know how to talk; wise people know the importance of listening. A community where people listen is a community where people will open their hearts to one another. That is why, I think, the Shema is followed by the prayer V'ahavta (And you Shall Love). Listening is a prerequisite for love. To build the kinds of bonds we need, between people and groups who are quite different from one another, we need to listen if we are to move towards love.
I want to end my words this evening with a story about the power of our greetings. I am told that it's a true story. All of my stories are true stories. This story starts in the city of Danzig in Germany in the years leading up to the Holocaust. Each morning in Danzig, the town's rabbi would take a walk. And on that walk he would take great care to greet everyone he met, including a certain farmer, Her Muller. Gut morgen Her Muller. Gut Morgen, Her Rabbiner, the farmer would return, a simple ritual but one that was played out every morning for years. When the dark cloud of evil descended on Germany, the rabbi was sent to a series of concentration camps eventually ending up at Auschwitz. As he stood in a selection that would decide who would live and who would die, he saw the farmer from his home town standing before him wearing an SS uniform. The rabbi was gaunt and starved, hardly recognizable but when he saw the farmer he said Gut morgen Her Muller. The guard was surprised but automatically replied Gut Morgen, Her Rabbiner, and quickly motioned that he should move not towards death but to the work details, to life. The next day, the rabbi was transferred to a safer camp where he survived the war.
Our greetings are important. They set the tone for our daily lives and relationships. Who knows how they influence our future. At this difficult time, I wish you a Shanah Nechamah, a year of comfort, Shanah Hazakah, a year of Strength, Shanah shel Ahavah, a year of connection and love. May our greetings strengthen the bonds between us and shape our communities. May they lead us towards a Shanah Tovah, a year of goodness and peace.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
The Flower Ceremony, sometimes referred to as Flower Communion or Flower Festival, is an annual ritual that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community.
Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Ceremony was introduced to the United States by Rev. Maya Capek, Norbert's widow.
In this ceremony, everyone in the congregation brings a flower. Each person places a flower on the altar or in a shared vase. The congregation and minister bless the flowers, and they're redistributed. Each person brings home a different flower than the one they brought.
Celebrating the Flower Ceremony is an excellent opportunity for Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations to express their commitment to our Sixth Principle: We covenant to affirm and promote the goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all. Read Sixth Principle Resources for the Flower Ceremony.

MARICOPA, Ariz. (AP) - An Arizona woman who knew she couldn't compete head on with her neighbor's elaborate Christmas light display is attracting attention for her response.
Using red and green lights, Kristina Green of Maricopa spelled out the word "ditto" and made an arrow pointing toward her neighbor's home.
Green's display is made of around 600 lights. Her neighbor's set-up has about 16,000 colorful lights.
Green has created a Facebook page for her "ditto" sign.

The Christmas Ten Commandments
1. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ. Let Him be at the top of thy Christmas shopping list.
2. Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas. Spend not so much on gifts that thy soul is forgotten.
3. Thou shalt not let Santa Claus replace Christ, thus robbing the day of its spiritual reality.
4. Thou shalt not burden the shop girl, the mailman, and the merchant with complaints and demands.
5. Thou shalt give thyself with thy gift. This will increase its value a hundred fold, and he who receiveth it shall treasure it forever.
6. Thou shalt not value gifts received by their cost. Even the least expensive may signify love, and that is more priceless than silver and gold.
7. Thou shalt not neglect the needy. Share thy blessings with many who will go hungry and cold unless thou are generous.
8. Thou shalt not neglect thy church. Its services highlight the true meaning of the season.
9. Thou shalt be as a little child. Not until thou has become in spirit as a little one art thou ready to enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
10. Thou shall not forget to share your joy, peace and faith with those around you.
Christmas, 1st Corinthians 13 Style
If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love to my family, I'm just another decorator.
· If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals and arranging a beautifully adorned table at mealtime, but do not show love to my family, I'm just another cook.
· If I work at the soup kitchen, carol in the nursing home and give all that I have to charity, but do not show love to my family, it profits me nothing.
· If I trim the spruce with shimmering angels and crocheted snowflakes, attend a myriad of holiday parties and sing in the choir's cantata but do not focus on Christ, I have missed the point.
· Love stops the cooking to hug the child.
· Love sets aside the decorating to kiss the husband.
· Love is kind, though harried and tired.
· Love doesn't envy another's home that has coordinated Christmas china and table linens.
· Love doesn't yell at the kids to get out of the way.
· Love doesn't give only to those who are able to give in return but rejoices in giving to those who can't.
· Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
· Love never fails. Video games will break, pearl necklaces will be lost, golf clubs will rust. But giving the gift of love will endure.
What's Christmas About?
It's not about when Santa comes.
It's not about candies and sugarplums.
It's about the belief in the birth of a heavenly babe.
Which will bring us eternal life, once we are saved.
It's not about getting the latest trend, toy or game.
It's about knowing the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, are the same.
It's not about the biggest tree or the brightest lights.
It's about faith in His word that will keep us on a path that's right.
It's not about the amount of money we've spent.
It's about the heavy load, on us, that causes His back to be bent.
It's about the ultimate sacrifice, in the name of love.
A man, once sent to us, as a messenger from above.
A man, once sent to us, to save us from our sins.
Always offering a way to live and to begin again.
Maybe, Happy Birthday are words that need to be said,
Along with Merry Christmas, as we lie and pray, in our beds.
It's about an oft said, cliche',
That needs to be repeated, especially on this day.
Jesus is the reason — for the season!

Gawker Whacker
Remember last summer, when we had a grand old time with Gawker Whacker, reporting on the removal of the media pop culture site's editor Jesse Oxfeld (whose exit was quickly followed with Jessica Coen's departure)? Now it's time for another round of fun at Nick Denton's expense. Turns out, it's often not the wisest decision to hire the guy who started a blog for the sole purpose of getting your attention.
His name is Chris Mohney, and up until recently (yesterday?), he was Gawker.com's managing editor. He started with Denton at the helm of Gridskipper, where he was hired after writing Gawkerist — an all-things-meta blog that was considered almost relevant before everyone and their step-mom tried their hand at viral videos on YouTube.
But as Daily Intel – now edited by Oxfeld himself – reports, Mohney is no longer. He's been unable to increase Gawker's traffic, which has a tendency to get Denton punching away furiously at his Hiptop and screaming at his trainer. More interesting than Mohney's unceremonious exit (and who didn't call that one?) is his replacement: Choire Sicha, the second editor of Gawker and, according to an informal survey we just conducted with our coffee mug and iPod, the editor many readers considered their favorite.
Sicha – who's been unhappily toiling away at the New York Observer while performing pick up jobs like blogging for Out magazine's Out 100 party – is, we're sure, more than thrilled to come on board and show those two new girls how it's done.
Update: Chris says goodbye, manages to squeeze in a "thanks" for Denton and Lockhart Steele.
Update 2: Mohney not canned? Jossip no longer interested.
What's notable about Radar's website resurrection isn't that Maer Roshan is heavily vested in ensuring you know he still exists, but that Gawker is covering it. Asks the trickle of emails this morning already destined for the Trash Bin: Isn't that fired editor Jesse Oxfeld's territory?
Popping up in yesterday's Times Corrections:
The David Carr column in Business Day last Monday about cost cuts at Gawker Media, a blogging company, erroneously included a Web site on a list of sites where editors were moved to new jobs or replaced on June 30. The changes occurred at Gawker.com, Gizmodo.com, and Gridskipper.com; no editors were moved or replaced at Wonkette.
Or, if you've been following this story, you read that as: Nick Denton's insinuation that he got rid of Wonkette's David Lat as part of his restructuring is a steaming pile of shit. Lat left of his own accord and gave notice a month previous. Then he slapped Denton across the face, huddled between Liz Spiers' thighs, and hoped for a brighter tomorrow. Carr, meanwhile, should be bitch slapped himself for eating up Denton's drivel.

With nearly 1,200 of you crawling to our ballot box, the votes are in from our Gawker Whacker poll. With Nick Denton ousting Jesse Oxfeld and realigning his flagship title to have more mass appeal (and then today giving Gawker.com a pretty makeover), what did you all have to say? For starters, ya'll thought Oxfeld sucks less than Jessica Coen, though Denton seems to be getting all the real sucking action. As for most of you? You've probably already skipped this item.

So we asked Jesse Oxfeld: Is this yours? "ha. no. not at all. of course not." So it's a hoax? Of course. The real Jesse Oxfeld would only post a for-hire ad on Mediabistro.

Related: All Gawker Whacker Coverage
So what're you waking up to this morning in the latest round of Gawker Whacker saga? Well there's David Carr's piece in the New York Times, which was posted late last night. Not much to be said about the rolling heads 'round Gawkerville – "putting two of his sites on the block, reorganizing others and laying off several people" was how he put it – with focus instead placed on Denton's new game plan, which is, to be fair, his old game plan: make money by staying current. How very Madonna. The best part of Carr's item: all-Denton, all the time, and nary an outside source — or even pretending he spoke to one. And blogs are skewed.
Elsewhere, Gawker managing editor Lockhart Steele sent out a missive to staffers, which reads in part:
More than anything, I think the moves are driven by our belief that Gawker needs to remain in a state of constant revolution. Resting on our laurels, and getting lazy, becomes easier as the company matures. Yet, so many of our titles are still in their infancy in terms of what their potential audience size, impact, and editorial could be. Look at our biggest traffic sites -- Gizmodo, Gawker, Fleshbot, Defamer, Kotaku, Deadspin, Lifehacker, just for starters. Each amazing in its own way. And each capable of being two, five, ten times bigger than it is now -- not just in traffic, but in influence, buzz, and significance. I'm also excited by the buzz around some of our newer titles, like Consumerist, and some ideas we have for new sites. [...]Regarding Screenhead and Sploid: both sites have been among our favorites, and the bloggers behind them true pros. But if we're to keep our focus, we need discipline to invest more in our hits, cultivate our smaller sites with rising buzz, and develop new titles, like our forthcoming music title. And, yes, part ways with a site when it's not working out for us.
To be clear, by "focus" Lock means "minting cash like a bankrupt Argentina."Meanwhile, Denton will be posting his own Dear John Letter on his blog, which will read in part:
[I]t's easy enough to start a site; increasingly tough to attract attention. Readers tend to give new Gawker sites an initial look at the very least, and we do cross-promote. But each site ultimately stands alone, and succeeds on the uniqueness of its proposition and the quality of the items. There are no sure things.
And back on the Lower East Side, Jessica Coen starts up her first week in quite sometime without Movable Type neighbor Oxfeld. As for the notion that the site is going more mainstream, we understand "broader" is the buzz word. So when a New York Daily News features editor gets whacked, you're going to have to look somewhere else to read about it.
Lastly, let's not forget about our favorite feature, the Gawker Whacker poll.
A Blog Mogul Turns Bearish on Blogs [David Carr, NYT]
Shakeup At Gawker Media: Jesse Oxfeld Out; Shuffle Across Blogs; Two Properties Up For Sale [Rachel Sklar, ETP]
With all the news we're breaking about Jesse Oxfeld's ousting from Gawker, we thought it would only be fair to ask for your reaction. Like guests on Meet The Press, the options are few and obvious.
If you haven't a clue what any of this is about, perhaps you should read Part I and Part II of our Gawker Whacker coverage. Briefly: Gawker boss Nick Denton got rid of editor Oxfeld, but is keeping Jessica Coen on staff. Meanwhile, he's bringing on two new guys to recast the flagship title as a mainstream entertainment destination.
Earlier: Gawker Whacker: Nick Denton Fires Jesse Oxfeld, Shutters 2 Titles
Earlier: Gawker Whacker, Part II: Denton Wants Mainstream Appeal
Because when you begin chatting about the chattering classes, the flood gates of gossip open — which means we've already received our fair share of updates regarding Jesse Oxfeld's ousting at Gawker and Nick Denton's additional slashings. As you recall from our exclusive report earlier today, Gawker honcho Denton dismissed Oxfeld without warning on Friday. Denton, we're told is also going to close two of his titles: Screenhead (made extinct by YouTube) and Sploid (while sporting some impressive CSS, was made extinct by news junkies' continued preference for The Drudge Report and, well, YouTube).
So why is all this happening? Because Denton – who has long touted Gawker's media insider vantage point – wants to take his flagship title more mainstream (read: mainstream = more pageviews = more ad dollars). And that means there's no place for Oxfeld's endless Radar magazine updates and masthead shake up chronicling. Instead, Gawker needs new blood: enter TMFTML/Alex Balk and Gridskipper's Chris Mohney. But while Balk is taking over what's technically Oxfeld's empty Aeron, the real news is Mohney's role: top dog.
After two-plus years helming Gawker, co-editor Jessica Coen is getting a new superior to answer to. In additon to managing editor Lockhart Steele breathing down her neck, newcomer Mohney will techically be Jessica's overseer. And you can imagine how pleased she is with that back stab. (Surely Jessica squelches her tears with hosting duties for the Star channel's Looking For Stars.)
As for readers, they can likely expect an Us Weekly-ization of Gawker, sans bright yellow serif fonts. (Whether Denton will remake Mark Lisanti's Defamer as a bland Hollywood gossip sheet instead of insider studio rag is yet to be determined.)
Now, when it comes to closing Screenhead and Sploid, Denton is looking for a buyer before he's ready to shut them down. But there's a short timeline: one month. If a cheque isn't endorsed by the end of the July, both sites will go under. And so, too, will their staff: "Dong Resin" at Screenhead and Sploid's Ken Layne and Scott Ross will be out of work. And that's not all of Denton's pink slipping: Gizmodo's John Biggs – who joined Denton's stable in April 2005 after founding editor Peter Rojas defected for a future windfall at rival Engadget – is being shown the door as well. (Blogebrity says someone from Wired will be filling in.)
It's also worth noting Oxfeld is the first of Gawker's four editors to leave involuntarily. So what'd Jesse have to say about all the new revelations? "Your account is inaccurate, reckless, and defamatory. I was at most moderately hammered when I arrived at the Magician Friday night." And he has been all weekend.
And remember, there's something to look forward to tomorrow: the New York Times will have its own item about all this.
Update: Nikki Finke weighs in on her favorite email sparring partner. From her item we learn David Carr is penning the piece (where, oh where, is Kit Seelye's byline where it should be?), though if that's true, perhaps Carr should actually touch base with Oxfeld.

In the hum-drum purr of industry hirings and firings, the rise and fall of beauty editors, research associates, and even senior editors can never compare to tingling we get when it's a media reporter finding a new home. Or, as it so happens in this story, when it's a media reporter in the guillotine.
Sometime Friday, Gawker co-editor Jesse Oxfeld was informed he was no longer welcome at Nick Denton's Movable Type login screen. That's right: Oxfeld's out. Finished. Kaput. His axing came as a complete surprise to the Brill's Content-Editor & Publisher-Mediabistro vet, who, we hear, showed up "completely hammered" at The Magician on Friday night, where the typical blogger suspects (Liz Spiers, Lindsay Robertson) were gathered, to drown his sorrows. Like Bonnie Fuller, Oxfeld's contract was up at the end of June — except his wasn't resigned with a fat bonus.
Jessica Coen, meanwhile, stays on and will be joined on Monday by the editor of Denton's travel title Gridskipper, Chris Mohney – who infamously got his job by fellating Denton with Gawker-obsessed blog Gawkerist – and former anon-a-blogger Alex Balk (aka TMFTML).
Meanwhile, Denton is also said to be closing two titles from his blog stable: College Humor wannabe Screenhead and Drudge Report imitator Sploid — though we're not sure if Screenhead editor "Dong Resin" or Sploid's Ken Layne are gone too, or they'll be absorbed into Gawker's many folds. These would be the second and third blogs Denton closed, following gambling site Oddjack's sale months ago.
And for those who don't believe anything till you read it in the Times, look for an item on Monday. The only mystery yet unsolved: How Andrew Krucoff's name didn't come up in any of this.
Update: The story continues here.
Bonus: Now you can vote!

The Cave preview – can the Monkey Island master hit puzzling gold again?
It's not a platformer. It's not a platformer. It's not a platformer. Repeat that to yourself ten more times before reading on. Finished? Good. It's vital you did, because despite outward appearances the new game from Ron 'Monkey Island' Gilbert is very much a pure puzzler. Any leaping and jumping and falling to your death (fret not, you reincarnate instantly) is merely a means of whisking you from one riddle to the next.

Internet access has become a significant investment for many American households. The average cost of high-speed Internet among top U.S. cities is now $42.70 a month - and that's for connections that average only 5.8 Mbps.
A growing number of U.S. households are opting for packages available from Verizon, Comcast and others that cost $100 and more per month for blazing speeds of up to 300 Mbps, optionally bundled with phone and TV service.
What matters, however, is not the cost of a broadband connection, but the huge savings that accrue from its daily use.
According to the latest figures from the Internet Innovation Alliance households with an average before-tax income of $63,685 enjoy huge savings when doing things online - $8,870 annually. This extraordinary savings makes the monthly cost of a broadband Internet connection a trivial concern.
How is this possible?
There are at least 10 ways today's smart households are using the Internet to improve their financial position…
- Comparing, negotiating and bidding for better deals on everything from necessities like housing, food and clothing, to basics like entertainment, dining and travel.
- Choosing from a wider inventory at websites that offer products from many different manufacturers and suppliers.
- Taking advantage of discounts and coupons found only on the web that can be used online as well as in retail stores.
- Saving on gas and avoiding time to visit local retail stores and regional malls.
- Paying bills online to save on postage, eliminate trips to the post office, and better monitor cash balance.
- Cancelling cable TV, newspaper and magazine subscriptions, relying more on broadband to access movies, music, news, games and other special interest content.
- Eliminating land-line telephone service and going with Internet-based services like Vonage at half the cost, and Skype for free calling even to international locations.
- Using social networks to keep informed of the best products, the biggest savings, the newest deals, and the most reliable customer service.
- Turning to online legal, accounting, estate and other professional services that offer basic, low-cost packages that meet federal regulatory requirements as well as those of your own state.
- Freelancing from home for spare income, starting a home-based small business, telecommuting for an employer, or searching for a new job.
Broadband Internet at home and next-generation wireless networks for mobile devices are now important tools for reigning in household budgets, overcoming the effects of inflation, improving your shopping IQ to get the most out of hard-earned dollars, and gaining extra income.
Some people are proud of not having a computer or smart phone, let alone high-speed Internet. These are society's new impoverished.

Living With Lions controversy is wake up call for right-thinking Canadians
In the long run, the Christ-storm of controversy that was kicked off by the release of Vancouver punk band Living with Lions' album Holy Shit could be very good for our Canadian way of life. The record in question includes artwork—and I can barely type this—depicting the blessed baby Jesus as a little brown piece of human shit.
It was a story on the LA Weekly blog on Tuesday that brought the matter to the attention of Heritage Minister James Moore, who quite rightly aligned himself with such upright individuals as "Ravenhawk083", who commented on the LA Weekly message board: "This is what happens when Christ hating Jews gain power."
Well said, sir.
Moore reportedly called FACTOR CEO Duncan McKie to give him a gosh-darned ticking off over the funding body's financial contribution to Holy Shit. And quite rightly, too, regardless of the fact that FACTOR is a private non-profit organization. This is our heritage at stake, after all, and if Moore has half the rectitude in him that proud Canadians suspect he does, he'll take a long, hard squint at the list of artists mentioned on FACTOR's website.
Even the briefest glance reveals a snakepit of insurrection. In its time, FACTOR has funded such questionable "artists" as DJ Dickey Doo, the Organ, Hurtin' Unit, and Long John Baldry—try reading that list of names without thinking of dirty human sex genitals—while the proximity of Swollen Members to Zimmer's Hole clearly points to FACTOR's covert gay agenda.
Eagle-eyed moralists will also find references to dangerously subversive ideologies (the Feminists), murderous extremism (Jerk with a Bomb), incitement to masturbation (the Royal Winnipeg Porn Orchestra), and brazen support for the probably illegal and highly dangerous act of smoking frogs (Smokin' Frogs).
Worst of all, FACTOR is known to have funded the work of heavy metalist Thor, whose very name is an offense to our nation's official god, God.
It is time we said no to this creeping rot. While outstanding journalists like Maclean's Mark Steyn struggle to honour the delicate balance of free speech and respect that has made Canada great, it only takes one extremely obscure punk band from the blaspheming Left Coast and a slow news day in Los Angeles to bring the whole edifice down.
How adorable!
How about for their next album they use a drawing of Muhammad for the cover? Would they have the jam for that?
Come to think of it, did the GS ever publish the Jyllands-Posten cartoons, or did they wuss out like the rest of the msm. I dont know the answer to that one. Anyone?
I think it's all the more funny for that reason. Aside from DIY, I can't see anything more punk than that.

Los Cenzontles By Paul-Emile Comeau Published January 24, 2008 Los Senn-Sont-LessLos Cenzontles Mexican Arts Center
If Los Cenzontles, a group based in San Pablo, California, have received national recognition, however slight, it's mostly due to their two albums on the legendary Arhoolie label. One of these is a compilation drawn from earlier recordings, but both albums feature authentic forms of Mexican roots music—mariachi and conjunto in particular. Now pruned down from a large ensemble to a quintet, Los Cenzontles have chosen to reflect the band's Mexican-American culture by recording its first bilingual album of original songs. Although the musicians' attempt at fusing traditional Mexican music with rock and country and other popular genres from their adopted country is generally successful, one gets the feeling that the group is still wrestling with some unrealized pop potential. Notable guest musicians include Los Lobos guitarist David Hidalgo and banjo player Bill Evans, but the strongest contribution to the group's new sound comes from country pedal steel player Bobby Black

Excellent!! Nothing like a book of the masters to get the winter box designing juices flowing. I met Jay and Janet O'Rourke, who are featured in this book, at a local art fair. They had a copy of the newly released book with them. It was very inspirational meeting two artists who have able to lead a life doing what they love...and it just happens to be what I(or we) love also. Please enter me for a chance to become moved by the masters!
Re: My Nightmares and Dreams
Longhair1...Thank you very much for the compliments! I currently don't have plans to make more but you never know what the future holds (hopefully it still holds employment). All my designs are one-of-a-kind pieces but I loved making this one so I foresee new pieces sharing some of the design aspects . Having a computer savvy little brother I am hoping to have a website soon so watch for me in the future. Thank you again!!-Jeff

"She called him 'Leche' because he was white," Sue explains.
Two days before she died in the Denver City Jail, Emily had given the picture to her mother as a joke. Sue was leaving the house she shared with Emily to get a bite to eat when the 24-year-old playfully informed her mother that if she didn't return with something for her, too, she would hide Leche, who has a nasty tendency to nibble, in the sheets of her bed.
"So of course I came home with something for her to eat," Sue remembers. "Then later I found this drawing on my pillow. She was so funny."
"She loved life, and life loved her," recalls Emily's father, Roy Rice. "From the minute anyone ever met her, they were in love with her because she was just this glowing person. Even when she was little -- it was almost a problem. Standing out in the yard, anybody walking down the street was her best friend. She'd yell hello, invite them to come in. She knew no stranger. She really had an effect on people."
Now all those people can do is remember.
On February 17, Emily worked her normal shift as a waitress at Herman's Hideaway, the popular South Broadway concert venue where she had been employed for the past two and a half years. Emily had had a couple of drinks that evening, so she decided to leave her car in Herman's parking lot and split a cab with her friend, DJ Busenbark. "She seemed fine when I dropped her off," Busenbark says. "Not that drunk at all, really, just normal and fine."
Emily called her mother, who wasn't home yet, around 2:30 a.m., and talked to her boyfriend about twenty minutes later. A few other friends remember text-messaging with her after that, and Busenbark says he chatted with her until after 5 a.m. Around 6:45, Emily hopped in her mother's car and went out for some smokes. She headed westbound on East Hampden Avenue, according to the traffic-accident report, and stopped at the South Elm Street intersection to make a left into a Conoco station. An employee working at the gas station remembers two cars heading eastbound on Hampden, one after the other. Emily let the first car pass, then took the left turn and collided with a 1988 Honda Accord.
When police responded to the scene, they checked Emily out and found injuries severe enough to require immediate medical attention. They also slapped her with a DUI and charged her with driving with a suspended license, the result of a failure to pay restitution from a previous traffic accident. She was transported to Denver Health Medical Center, where she was treated and released back into custody. (The incident report did not indicate what happened to the other driver; he did not return Westword's phone calls.) Meanwhile, Sue was worried because she hadn't heard from her daughter since their late-night phone call. She frantically phoned around to try to locate her, but with no success. Finally, at around 4:45 p.m. on February 18, she got a call from Emily, who was in the Denver City Jail. "I asked her, 'Baby, are you okay?'" Sue remembers. "And she said, 'Mommy, I can't feel my feet.'" Emily then told her mother that she had gone out for cigarettes and had gotten into an accident.
"What did you hit?" Sue asked her.
"I don't know," Emily said.
Sue told her that she would be right there. She tracked down $400, the amount she says jail officials told her was necessary for the bond, and went to get Emily. But when she arrived, the cash-only bail had more than quadrupled. Sue didn't have that kind of money on her, nor the means to access it immediately, as it was early evening on a Saturday. Unable to see or help her daughter, she left.
"I was devastated," Sue relates. "I tried to get a message to her. I told them to tell her we were coming for her, that we didn't have enough money right then, but that we would be there first thing in the morning."
But Emily didn't make it till morning. She died from internal injuries not long after her mother had left.
The police report from Emily's brief stay at the jail reads as follows: "On listed date, just prior to listed times victim was contacted by Denver Sheriff's Department deputies. DSD officers asked if victim wanted to eat, victim refused. Victim was unable to move her legs. DSD nurses were called to cell, where victim was found unresponsive, ambulance was called to scene to transport to Denver Health Medical Center. Victim was pronounced Dead on Arrival at DHMC."
Emily's mother and father have hired former Arapahoe County district attorney Bob Gallagher to represent them in a potential lawsuit, but Gallagher, who's waiting to receive an autopsy report and certain medical and jail records, has not yet initiated any legal action. He does find it disconcerting, though, that Emily's injuries seem to have been overlooked by staff at both Denver Health Medical Center and at the jail. "I just don't see why nobody caught this," he says.

Here is my Owari Satsuma that needed long overdue care and repotting. I used some alchohol to remove the scale and repotted using a 5-1-1 citrus mix I made. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Owari Satsuma video
Follow-Up Postings:
Still one of the most recommended products to use for scale control is a horticultural oil of some sort. They make some that can be used even in the heat. I think that a summer weight refined oil might even be better than neem when it comes to scale control. The immature stage of scale insects, called crawlers, are very hard to see and most people wouldn't even recognize them if they did see them. Those get missed when one goes after the adults with alcohol and a swap or toothbrush. Perhaps you might consider misting your plant with alcohol after you've removed the adults. A solution consisting of one part alcohol to three parts water is usually sufficient to get the job done. |

CopperPlus™ delivers all of the beauty, durability, and integrity of solid copper at lower cost, while also providing the additional advantages of lower weight, reduced thermal expansion, faster soldering, strength of stainless steel, and complete formability.
CopperPlus is a metallurgically bonded metallic composite strip produced by roll bonding. The roll-bonding process is based on solid-state welding technology, requiring no adhesive or brazing alloys to achieve a clean, permanent, bond. The clad material has excellent bond integrity due to the nature of the metallurgical bond that develops between the copper and stainless steel layers.
Recommended Applications
Roofing (standing seam, batten seam, flat seam)
Because it is copper, CopperPlus weathers to the same as solid copper. Easy fabrication of standing seam, batten seam, and Bermuda seam roofing styles. Has the strength of stainless steel.
Everything you admire in copper plus everything you expect in stainless steel. Can be cut to any desired length because it is available in coil form. Desired effect, ease of handling , and economy can all be balanced for optimum results.
Rain Drainage (gutters, downspouts)
Will accept severe forming. Stainless steel core provides greater resistance to erosion problems in the bends and elbows of gutters and downspouts.
Flashing (base, counter, cap, eave, valley, drip, step)
Cuts, forms, and installs easily. Compatible with all types of mortar and mortar additives. Fully annealed copper clad stainless steel is strong and easy to use. The architect can carry the copper theme throughout the sheet metal work.
Fascia/Wall Panels
Is compatible with all custom and standard designs.
The strength of CopperPlus makes it ideal for fabricating dormers, cupolas, finials, spires, scuppers, and conductors.
Endures – Since the bond occurs at the atomic level, CopperPlus is as strong as the metals themselves. It has high resistance to corrosion and erosion and needs no protective coating when set in mortar or concrete.
High strength – Since the core of CopperPlus is stainless steel, the material has a significantly higher strength than solid copper. Equivalent strength to solid copper can be achieved with a much thinner material by using CopperPlus.
Weighs less/costs less – CopperPlus saves construction costs all the way down the line. Less weight means easier handling, less fatigue, more material installed in less time, and the material cost is lower than solid copper.
Solders easier – The lower thermal conductivity of the stainless steel core retains the heat of the joint thus permitting the use of smaller, cooler irons at higher speeds.
Takes any form – Gutters, downspouts, cornices, as well as other intricate shapes are easily formed to bring beauty, quality, and durability to any installation.
Design Specifications
Description – CopperPlus is composed of a 10% thickness of copper metallurgically bonded on each side at the atomic level to an 80% core of Type 430 stainless steel. It is fully annealed. CopperPlus has a 25 year warranty, but is designed to offer more than 60 years of service in the most aggressive environments.
Installation – Install in accordance with recognized construction sheet metal practices. It is readily cut, formed, soldered, welded, riveted, nailed, and otherwise worked by conventional sheet metal methods.
Forming – Fully annealed CopperPlus forms like other soft construction metals. It can be bent flat on itself (180° bend – zero radius) at all standard gauges.
Soldering – CopperPlus is readily soft soldered using 50-50 or higher tin content solder. Mild fluxes for soldering copper are used. Smaller cooler irons can be used, resulting in faster soldering speeds.
Cutting – Conventional hand and power tools are used. For best results, cutting edges should be kept sharp and shears should be closely aligned.
Mechanical Fasteners – All mechanical fasteners (nails, screws, bolts, rivets, etc.) used should be either copper, stainless steel, brass, or bronze.
Sizes – Available in coils, rolls, or cut-to-length sheets up to 24" wide
Maintenance – Final cleaning is not normally required except to remove solder flux residues, which form a premature green patina in affected areas. When desirable, final cleaning usually can be accomplished with a detergent and water. In the case of heavy deposits, a mild abrasive cleanser is recommended. No routine maintenance is required.
Specifying CopperPlus – CopperPlus is a superior product for any concealed, exposed, or special application where metal is indicated or required by the design. Simply indicate the location and configuration in the usual manner and identify the material as CopperPlus.
Standard thickness [in] |
Weight [lb/sqft] | |
CopperPlus | Solid Copper | |
0.012 | 0.4959 | 0.5581 |
0.016 | 0.6612 | 0.7742 |
0.0216 | 0.8927 | 1.007 |
0.027 | 1.1159 | 1.2558 |
Thicknesses from .030" to .060" available upon request
Design Compatibility – CopperPlus is compatible with most building materials. However, contact with aluminum or carbon steel should be avoided as these metals may deteriorate when in contact with copper.
