Just picked up a nice smaller meyer for only $15 from home depot. Looks like its in a peat based soil and its actively growing. The soil is in really good shape actually. Should I wait to repot or do it now since the soil is still good?

Follow-Up Postings:
I don't grow citrus too much, but I have friends in Ca & TX that I help with theirs. I grew a couple of Meyer lemons as potential bonsai, didn't like their growth habit (pushing foot long, ramrod straight branches when you turn your back - overnight) for bonsai & gave them away after a few years. I always repotted in early spring - for you, prolly late Mar or early Apr. Your plant is so small, it's probably 100% dynamic, so should be able to tolerate the transition easily. I'd make sure I have the soil right, then carefully bare root it and repot it. Then, put it in the shade & out of the wind. Do your work IN a tub of water, & make SURE the fine roots don't dry out while you're working on them. That's important at this time of year. I'd also avoid pruning the roots if possible. Alternately, if you don't think the roots are crowded, you could wait until next spring. There's nothing to stop you from potting up any time as a temporary measure and doing the repot earlier next spring. Your call - I'm pretty neutral between doing it now & waiting. Al |

In my view it's much much easier to repot into the gritty mix when the soil is still in what you're calling good shape. Once it turns to muck it tends to be more difficult to get out of the hard to reach places even if you are using a basin and swishing it and dunking it and using chopsticks and etc. As it ages it also tends to compress around the roots so that it is much more likely that you will tear off the fine root tips while trying to clean them up. |
Sure you could wait until next spring, but I don't see any advantage in doing so. I would do it now as redshirtcat suggests. Why is it we gardeners wait until a plant is stressed, to work on it? Al |
I don't think we have any reason to believe the plant is particularly stressed at this point (".... its actively growing. The soil is in really good shape ...."), which is why I remained pretty neutral about repotting now vs spring. While there may not be any significant advantage in waiting until spring, there's no significant disadvantage, either, which brings us around the circle to neutral again. I think that just potting up into a similar soil at this point is a viable alternative to doing the repot now. March would have been better timing, but as noted, the plant is so young it's nearly all dynamic mass, which affords it a lot of tolerance for stress. I'm always wanting to get my trees into the gritty mix at the earliest opportune point in time. If it was my tree, I'd wait until spring, but I'm well beyond being excited about 'putting something in the gritty mix to see how it does'. I realize that sometimes that plays a part; if it does, by all means - repot it now. If not, flip a coin. ;-) Al |
I try to avoid repotting my citrus in fall, before flowering, and after fruit set. Sooo that pretty much rules out anytime LOL. mike |

Recently, a few people told me that I looked good, that I'd lost weight. It made me feel good, then it made me feel bad. It was a compliment, sure. But then I realized it's just something you say to a big guy to get the conversation rolling. It might have even seemed the perfect compliment upon delivery, but it only worked to make me conscious of how I looked, or how I used to look. I just didn't want to hear it. It made me think, though. Had I ever given a compliment that made someone feel worse? Or that had no effect at all? I decided to learn how to deliver good ones. I devised a plan in which I would give a lot of them in a short time and work to figure out exactly how the best compliments worked, and why. I started outside a noodle shop in a Big Ten college town, on a wide boulevard of sidewalks newly laid. I knew no one, and I had nothing in particular to gain. I vowed to walk the full six blocks to a bank clock and on the way give each person I saw my own special measure of attention. I planned to use short sentences, to be simple and direct. A young Chinese woman in a brilliant white cotton dress approached. A tiny belt was cinched around her waist, thin enough that it might have been made from an especially long bootlace. That seemed a light and functional accent on a soup-hot day. Smart. I wanted to be sure, though, so I squinted for a better look, and before I knew it, she was three, six, nine steps closer and seemed aware that I was staring at her waist. So I rushed it. "I like your belt," I said. And that spooked her. She cleaved her arms upward, gripping her purse against her breast, turning her near shoulder forward, slipping past me as if we were in a crowd. She was gone.
A short sack of guts in a golf shirt followed right behind her, wolfing a leafy sandwich from a grip of wax paper. This one was trouble. Lousy shoes, untucked logo shirt, unkempt walrus mustache, cell phone clipped to his belt. Don't mention the sandwich, I thought. You'll make him feel like a pig. But he moved in and that was all I had. I blurted, "Looks like a great sandwich!" The guy squinted, mouth half-jammed with capicola, and murmured, "Shyah, not for you."
Three guys, muscular and neat, upholstered in vague business casual, popped onto the street from a diner, thumbing at their phones. I went broad, giving them an all-in-one shot. "You guys look good," I declared. The doors behind them hadn't closed; they hadn't registered my presence. They turned for a look at me. But my follow-up wasn't ready. I plunged forward. I knew I couldn't comment on just one tie without somehow commenting on the other two as well. So I pluralized. "Nice ties," I said.
"Dude," the oldest one, a neatly kept guy in his mid-fifties, his hair entirely white, sneered. "Fuck you."
"I mean it," I stammered. A kind of panic lit in my gut, then in my ears; it was hard to take it all in, to come up with things so quickly.
"Get a job, man," the second said.

Get LISNews via email! Enter Your Email Address:
Stuff To Do @ Your LISNews, Part 1: Reading
This will be the first in an occasional series highlighting things you can do @ LISNews. I'll be covering "reading," "writing," "playing," "networking" and whatever else I can come up with in this series. I thought I'd start with "reading" to point out what you can read, how you can find it, and how it can be read.
There are essentially 3 good homepages for LISNews. The first is the page you see when you visit http://lisnews.org/ (though this is radically different if you're logged in) the second, can be found at http://lisnews.org/blog and the third you'll find at http://lisnews.org/tracker The blog page shows all the recent posts made by LISNews users. Anyone with an account can write in his or her own blog. The tracker page puts everything in a nice easy to reader list format. I actually use the tracker as my home page so I can keep track of everything happening @LISNews.
There are several ways to browse your way around current LISNews Content. You can start with one of the homepages as I mentioned, or you can check out the Topics page: http://lisnews.org/topics. That will list all our many topics. I'm a big fan of lists, the Hall of Fame page at http://lisnews.org/hof/ offers a nice way to see what's popular. If you're more interested in older content, going way back to the beginning of LISNews, start over on the Old Stories page at http://lisnews.org/articles. You can find almost every story posted to all 4 versions of LISNews since 1999 when I first started the site. -- Read More
I feel like I'm finally settling in the Drupal, and my To-Do List is slowly shrinking. So far the amount of work it's taken to convert has been about what I expected, which is way more than any sane person would put into a project like this. Today I made a connection between moving a website and moving a home. We're thinking about buying a new home in the next couple years, and while it will be much more physical work, I don't think it's going to take quite as much time. Just like we are all settled into our current home, I was all settled into Slashcode. I was able to work with, I had it remodeled, put a fresh coat of paint on, and, well, like our current home, it just wasn't right. I was never even close to happy with Slashcode. I thought it would be easy to call home, but it wasn't. Drupal is proving to be a new house that has a hidden room, or two, or three. The surprises have been all positive, and Drupal is proving to be much easier to work with than Slashcode ever was. And it's on one of the LISHost servers, so I'm back in complete control. I was curious to see how the new server would handle the load, and I'm happy to report there are absolutely no issues. Here's my reduced to-do list:
-Highlight some of the many things Drupal/LISNews can do individually.
-Automate the darn email list.
-Find a way to highlight all the RSS feeds on the relevant pages.
-Is there a module to make custom feeds? Like most popular, latest comments, interesting things like that?
-We need more "browse by" pages.
-What about subdomains? -- Read More
First, a BIG thank you to Leo Klein for all his help getting Drupal dialed in for LISNews.
You may have noticed LISNews underwent a complete overhaul recently. I've spent the past couple weeks working hard to make sure LISNews is as interesting and usable as possible. Here's a list of what I've been up to:
Neat things you can use to view content:
-You, yes you, should be able to Suggest A Story Here.
-Installed the Hall Of Fame. That'll show you some top 10 lists.
-You can view all recent user blog posts One One Page now.
-You can also view all recent stories and blogs together on the Tracker Page.
-You can use LISNews to view headlines from 20 Other Sites based on our yearly
"Blogs To Read" series (OPML).
-There is one page that Has An Index of most of the many feeds LISNews spits out.
-There is one page that lists all the LISNews Topics.
-There's a Weekly Archive Page and a Monthly One Too.
Other things that you'll see: -- Read More
Happy 8th Anniversary to LISNews and thanks to Blake for giving so many of us a place to observe, laugh and dispute in.
I was hoping to do something more creative with my first drupal-powered LISNews entry, but it has been a long morning of administrative reports, digitizing Congressional reports from the 1930s and patrons who get very upset when extremely common (hard to do business without) words are spoken in the library. Not to them, but in the library.
So happy it's lunchtime. Looking forward to more fiche to digital work in the afternoon. Then I'll spend part of my weekend troubleshooting my home wireless network that set up great and keeled over after two days.
Quite a bit, but I think it's acceptable. Here's my unedited or spell checked list:
Mailing list!
Put something on this page /rss.shtml
Put back this image for Bloglines /images/topics/topicslash.gif
Think about bringing back /article.php3
Need one page to list all feeds
Need one page to list all topics & feed for that topic
Is there a module to make custom feeds? Like most popular, latest comments, interesting things like that?
Make an authors page
fix all the shtml old stories pages
Can I import all the really REALLY old stories/comments from phpslash?
Add/remove stuff from aggregator
what blocks am I missing?
What modules am I missing?
Enable themes so people can change what they use.
Can I build an admin page like slashcode had?
Make "browse by" pages for people.
copy over all the old stuff from the old server
watch logs for big 404 pages
what about the subdomains, can I fix that
double check old site and make sure I didn't miss anything big.
Are all the authors moved over as authors?
How can I change the favicon w/o messing with the misc dir
add in the topics images again like the old site?
Write some "how to" posts for the weeks comig up
annouce to some lists?
Feeds feeds feeds, need to list them
Make some kind of link for the feed for each journal and topic page
Give big thank you to Leo Klein
---------- Done below here
enable the awstats for LISNews
change the link for the agreator, that page is ugly
Make cron run
What the heck are these old things? /rss/descriptions.rss /rss/popular.rss
Add back these /geek.rdf /lm.rss -- Read More
If you have questions, comments or anything else on the new site, please post them below.
How do I write in my "journal" now? It's called a Blog now, and look over on the left side when you login, click on Blog Entry.
ReCAPTCHA is not working. That's not a question, but I turned it off. The key didn't make the move for some reason.
What's with the Orange & Blue? That's how LISNews looked before you were born, it's old school.
Why did my LISNews emails stop? I didn't get that part running yet. Soon.
How do I stop the LISNews emails? Let Me Know
Does my old login work? Probably. If you've logged in recently to the old site, I moved over your account, comments, journals, password and anything else you had over there.
This was the final post to the Slashcode version of LISNews. You are now looking at improved version of LISNews.
I'm looking for a few good bloggers to join the authoring team here at LISNews. There's no pay, but it's a good way to get your name out there, and gain the respect and admiration of librarians from across the globe. If that's not enough, you'll have the enormous sense of well being that comes with helping your fellow librarians stay informed.
The "job" requires only a minimal time commitment, and just some basic knowledge of HTML & Blogging. You post whenever you have time, and with some restrictions, you post what you want. Some current authors post just a couple times a month, others find the time every day, and most of the rest of our crew fall somewhere in between. If you're interested, read below for all the details. Feel free to pass this one along to others who might be interested. -- Read More

FT Energy Source is posting a daily question for our panel of expert commentators. Below are replies from Kyoto carbon markets architect Graciela Chichilnisky, Jeremy Leggett of Solarcentury, Julian Morris of the International Policy Network and Robert Stavins of Harvard University.
Who is responsible for today's summit in Copenhagen being as chaotic and uncertain as it is?
Graciela Chichilnisky: The chaos in Copenhagen had three contributing causes that amplified what is always a difficult process – the process of reaching an agreement among almost 200 nations on a crucial issue.
The first cause is that the US was out of the process for the eight years of the Bush administration. The US is the main emittor (together with China) and did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol. This meeting was partly about bringing the US into the fold – a challenging task at best.
President Obama is changing the US stance, but the way this was handled from the UN negotiations angle was by creating two separate negotiation tracks. One is the "Kyoto Protocol track" the other is "Long Term Co-operative Agreements" under the 1992 UN Convention.
Having two tracks made everything twice more difficult than ever. Almost impossible I would say.
In addition global warming is considered now the major risk facing humankind. A lot of demonstrators representing global public opinion were here to make that point – at some point the number mentioned was 35,000 in a relatively small city such as Copenhagen. The demonstrators were important to the small emitting nations of Africa, Latin America and the small island states to make a point to the large emittors. They played an important role.
However, I do not think the Copenhagen police did a good job in handling the demonstrations. There were more than a thousand of people arrested. In reality, the Danish police borrowed police from Germany and Sweden for the task – and I know they were somewhat disatisfied themselves with a process that was difficult and not always as respectful for the people involved as the Danish culture would lead us to expect.
Graciela Chichilnisky is the architect of the carbon market of the Kyoto Protocol and the co-author of 'Saving Kyoto'.
Jeremy Leggett: Let's start with the two biggest emitters. President Barack Obama said nothing this morning to advance the limp formulation tabled by Hillary Clinton yesterday. The world needed him to seize his moment and show the political will of Winston Churchill, taking the summit to a new place, shaming the pessimists and foot-draggers into silence, assuming greatness as a global leader forever. Instead he gave us a dose of Neville Chamberlain. He wants to wave a piece of paper that will not get us on course for keeping the carbon enemy caged.
"I am sure many would consider this an imperfect framework," Mr Obama said. But we can either take a "historic step forward", or we can choose delay and repeats of the "stale" arguments "until climate change becomes irreversible".
The arguments from the US, let it be recalled, have been staler than those of most governments in these negotiations, and for longer.
As for China, how its cautious leaders have let their people down. The Chinese economy is essentially resident on its coastal plain. Every percentage point of GDP the leadership proudly post will end up destroyed by the march of irreversible climate change, and much more besides. The Chinese leaders know this. The Chinese Academy of Sciences tells them so. They could have shamed the Americans into meaningful action by committing to a cap on emissions within a few years, with steady reductions therafter: the measure needed from them if we are to have a realistic crack at capping global warming at 2 degrees C. They could have scared the climate-denying American heartland into low-carbon action by showing them, whatever their beliefs, that they will be buried economically by a tsunami of Chinese clean-technology industries unless they act.
Beyond these two countries, and their 40 per cent share of global emissions, there is a general shared responsibility of course. Picture this convention of world leaders as the board meeting of a giant corporation. The board has known they had to deliver a master plan for many years, with the very survival of the corporation at stake. And they turn up with no plan, bickering among themselves over trifling matters. Just imagine the shareholder reaction.
Finally there are the hosts. The Danes and the UN have made a dog's dinner of the logistics, from beginning to end, despite the long lead time they have had to prepare. They have treated negotiators, the press and NGOs unforgivably. Ambassadors, correspondents, CEOs and campaigners alike have had to queue for hours in the freezing cold. Civil society has been shut out of the endgame with no meaningful representation. The paramilitary Danish police are already under investigation for excess in their treatment of the anguished youthful protestors, and the final day is far from over. The very cause of democracy has been set back back at the Copenhagen summit.
Jeremy Leggett is an author, founder and executive chairman of Solarcentury, a solar energy company, and ambassador to the Global Observatory at Copenhagen.
Julian Morris: The chaos – and possible failure – of the Copenhagen summit is largely a consequence of the narrow focus on carbon control as the main instrument to address climate change. This in turn has been driven by five groups: NGOs, business interests, climate scientists, government officials and intergovernmental agencies.
Each group has a financial interest in promoting carbon control: NGOs derive their revenue from donors whom they must keep in a state of constant fear concerning the future state of the planet and thereby clamorous to be led to safety by those very same NGOs. Business interests, such as steel producers and oil companies that hold hundreds of billions of dollars worth of carbon credits, plus carbon traders, "renewable" energy companies, Nuclear power companies, and ethanol producers, all stand to benefit from future restrictions on carbon. Climate scientists have an interest in perpetuating the concern that carbon emissions are causing potentially catastrophic global warming – because it is easier to justify funding research into phenomena that might imperil humanity.
Last but by no means least, government officials see combating climate change as a justification for their own existence, as well as for the imposition of revenue raising measures (such as taxes on fuel). Finally, intergovernmental agencies, especially the World Meteorological Organisation, the United Nations Environment Programme, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (a joint project of the WMO and UNEP), and the Secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, each have an interest in promoting carbon control because it suits their bureaucratic interests in a way that, say, decentralised adaptation through market processes would not.
Julian Morris is an economist, author and director of The International Policy Network.
Robert Stavins: I'm not sure "chaos and uncertainty" are the words I would have chosen to characterise the situation at the climate negotiations in the Danish capital, but my response is that there are two aspects to what has been characterised as the "chaotic and uncertain" nature of the COP-15 conference at the Bella Center in Copenhagen. One is the substantive process and eventual outcome, which remains uncertain as of this hour, and the other is the shocking logistical failure.
An uncertain outcome for the negotiations
It should not be surprising that the outcome remains in doubt, because of some basic economic realities. First of all, keep in mind that climate change is the ultimate common global problem, because greenhouse gases uniformly mix in the atmosphere. Therefore, each country incurs the costs of its emission-reduction actions, but the benefits of its actions are spread worldwide. Hence, for any individual nation, the benefits it receives from its actions are inevitably less than the costs it incurs, despite the fact that globally the total benefits of appropriate co-ordinated international action would exceed the total costs (and for many countries the national benefits of co-ordinated international action would exceed their national costs of action).
This creates a classic free-rider problem, and is the reason why international co-operation – whether through an agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change or through some other multilateral or bilateral arrangements – is necessary.
Second, addressing global climate change will be costly and it raises profound distributional implications for the countries of the world. In particular, addressing climate change at minimum cost (i.e. cost-effectively) requires that all countries take responsibility for their emissions going forward, and indeed necessitates that all countries control at the same marginal abatement cost.
On the other hand, addressing climate change in an equitable fashion clearly requires taking account of the dramatically different economic circumstances of the countries of the world, and may also involve looking backwards at historic responsibility for the anthropogenic greenhouse gases which have already accumulated in the atmosphere. These are profound issues of distributional equity.
This classic trade-off between cost-effectiveness (or efficiency), on the one hand, and distributional equity, on the other, raises significant obstacles to reaching an agreement.
So, I place the fault for the substantive uncertainty in the negotiations neither on the industrialised countries (including the United States, for insisting that China and other key emerging economies participate in meaningful and transparent ways), nor on the developing countries (for insisting that the industrialised world pay much of the bill).
The key question going forward is whether negotiators in Copenhagen today and tonight, or in Bonn several months from now, or in Mexico City a year from now, can identify a policy architecture that is both reasonably cost-effective and sufficiently equitable, and thereby can assemble support from the key countries of the world, and thus do something truly meaningful about the long-term path of global greenhouse gas emissions. There are promising paths forward, and – if you'll forgive me – I will remind readers that many have been identified by the Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements.
Rather than pointing fingers at who is to blame for the current uncertainty at this hour, I can attribute credit to a number of countries and institutions for having brought the negotiations to the point where it appears at least possible that a successful outcome will be achieved in Copenhagen or subsequently.
First of all, tremendous credit must be given to the national leaders and the negotiating teams of the 17 major economies of the world who together represent about 90 per cent of global emissions, because these countries have worked hard to produce what each considers a sensible outcome over the months and years leading up to COP-15.
This includes not only the European Union, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Canada, but also the United States, which at least since January of this year has been an enthusiastic and intelligent participant in this international process. It also includes many of the key emerging economies of the world – China , India, Brazil, Mexico, Korea, South Africa, and Indonesia, among them – as well as a considerable number of poor, developing countries, which likewise take the problem seriously and have been trying to find an acceptable path forward.
Finally, credit should be given to the Danish government and its leadership, the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, who have worked tirelessly for months, indeed years, to prepare for the substance of these negotiations at COP-15 in Copenhagen.
That's the "good news," but now I should turn to the other aspect of the "uncertainty and chaos" in Copenhagen.
Chaos at COP-15's Bella Center
As I noted at the outset, there are two aspects of the "chaos" in Copenhagen, and for the second aspect it is (sadly) possible to identify the apparently responsible parties. I am referring to the fact that the organisers – the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the hosts, the Danish government – apparently approved a list of some 40,000 observers from 900 official, accredited organisations around the world, knowing that the Bella Center could accommodate at most 15,000 persons at any one time. The result is that thousands of people – including not only non-government organisation representatives, but also government negotiators – stood in line outside of the Bella Center in the bitter cold on Monday and Tuesday of this week waiting 8-10 hours to get inside to receive their credentials. Thousands of others never got inside to receive their credentials, despite having waited up to 8 hours, standing in the cold. These are not exaggerations. It is remarkable and very fortunate if no one died in the process.
Then, on Wednesday through Friday, the Bella Center was essentially closed to all representatives of civil society, despite the fact that side-events had been organised by them months in advance with the approval of the COP-15 organisers.
The result is that thousands of people, who had been informed by the COP-15 organisers many months ago that they were approved to attend, had flown to Copenhagen from all over the world, incurred those costs and the costs of their accommodation, yet never were able to get inside the Bella Center to carry out any of the work they had planned, and flew back home having wasted their time and resources (and having contributed to the COP-15 carbon footprint in non-trivial ways).
Now, I have never been an enthusiast of what some people have described as the annual "circus" of the COPs, a circus – if it is that — which is largely due to the fact that the actual government negotiators are vastly outnumbered by the civil society representatives ("official observers" in the UNFCCC language) and the press. However, if the participation of civil society representatives is going to be encouraged (as required under the original UNFCCC agreement), and if the attendance of those representatives is going to be approved in advance, then surely they should not be denied admission when they arrive, nor forced to stand in line outside in the cold for eight hours waiting to be admitted.
No doubt, both the UNFCCC and the Danish government will point fingers at the other, but ultimately the responsibility must be shared. In 17 years of these annual conferences, going back to the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, there has never been such a disastrous logistical failure. It could have been anticipated. And it should have been prevented.
A final word
Of course, as of this hour, I — along with millions of others — hope that the negotiators in Copenhagen will achieve agreement on some truly meaningful steps forward in this important process.

KHTS AM-1220's annual Sacramento Road Trip is back for its ninth year, March 17-18. The lobbying trip for Santa Clarita Valley community leaders that deals with local issues such as transportation, education and water issues, has a couple spots still open.
For eight years, KHTS AM-1220 has been joined by Santa Clarita Valley leaders for their annual Sacramento Road Trip, lobbying for local issues and meeting with state legislators and administrators.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
This year's ninth annual road trip is planned for Monday, March 17 and Tuesday, March 18 and sponsored by Southern California Gas Company, Union Bank and the Castaic Lake Water Agency.
The idea started as a conversation between then State Assemblyman Keith Richman and KHTS co-owner, Carl Goldman at a charity event in 2005. Richman said he felt that most community leaders didn't have an understanding of the challenges that state legislative officials faced in Sacramento. The two decided to invite a number of community leaders to visit Sacramento and learn about these challenges.
KHTS Sacramento Road Trip
The annual trip started in 2006, when Carl Goldman and station co-owner Jeri Seratti-Goldman were joined by 35 community leaders for a bus trip to Sacramento.
In 2007, the group nearly doubled in size. Over the years, the road trips have focused on topics such as transportation, education, the state budget, water issues and prison realignment.
Assemblyman Scott Wilk's office works with KHTS to coordinate all the trip's meetings with the politicians and officials at the state's capital.
Among last year's 86 participants were representatives from College of the Canyons, the Castaic Lake Water Agency, the Child and Family Center and Habitat for Humanity, in addition to many others.
Related Sacramento Road Trip 2013 – Photos
This year, there are at least 100 community leaders going.
"(There are) only a couple slots left," Goldman said. "…Anyone wanting to go needs to contact us this week."
There is currently also a waitlist for the bus that will be used to transport the majority of the group to Sacramento . In previous years, other participants have flown.

My concept is based on the sign of the arrow, which conveys an idea of exchange, dialogue and transmission. The double arrow means reciprocity.
Then I used this graphic sign as if a single arrow was embodying one culture. And by multiplying it, changing its colors, its size, overlapping one onto another, I obtained a kind of weft, which symbolically stands for a map of the exchange and cohabitation of the different cultures with an idea of diffusion.
I also created the type, using one single element whose shape is directly inspired from my arrows. Then I used the same principle as with the arrows, multiplying, pasting into place, creating letters then words to best illustrate the title of the year.
The type is modular; it works on the same principle as a construction game, because to me cultures and exchanges are a structure where everybody brings its element of the puzzle to create something, in a common will to build links and better understanding between men.
My concept is to highlight the concept of cohabitation and exchange of the different cultures by showing that something new and beautiful can uprise from dialogue.

I've been a fan of PlayStation since their first console. I was a late bloomer when I bought PSOne when pirated games spread the local market here in Philippines. Eventually it faded out coz we already have a law against piracy.
PlayStation 2 came out and I instantly bought my own console when a close friend of mine went to US for a short vacation. There were some consoles can be bought locally but they are already modified for pirated games. I have no problem with that, all I care was I had a console and I know I can afford to buy games I like.
PlayStation 3 came in after few years and I really got excited to get my own. Sadly it was pretty expensive to buy locally. So I waited few years for the price to drop down. I heard PS3 Slim was coming out very cheap and after couple of years I finally got my own.
I instantly bought couple of games and I was satisfied of what I have found. Especially when I bought HDMI cable for my LCD TV. It was awesome. (I heard XBox 360 has a better graphics so no argue with that!)
So, when I registered in PSN via PS3 there was no PHILIPPINES in their country list...still up to today, no Philippines in their list. So I have to use US based address just to complete my registration. I was done, I was happy that I have completed my registration, I can now play multiplayer games. Sadly, I cannot buy games using a credit card.
Okay, I read some forum threads about piracy here in Philippines is very overwhelming. Like you can see them on the sidewalks and street. Who buy them? People who are cheap. Coz life here in Philippines is very hard. Where these pirated copies of DVDs and "BluRay" (coz they're not really BRDs just DVD9s)? I'm sure they came outside the country and inside. Who are making these CDs? Mostly Chinese nationals or from Hong Kong/China.
We can say it's really bad especially for those who are film makers/producers. For me too. Coz only few of us here buy original DVD/BRD. There are stores that sells original copies, trust me. Especially if you're looking for PS3/PSP/XBox games. It's just sad when you cannot get rid of piracy when there are people who still buy pirated copies.
I just wish PlayStation Network will give us Filipinos a chance to register using our country instead of using others, so we can buy non-disc base video games. There are still people who support the original copies. TRUST ME. :)
Note: I have more than a dozen PS3 and few PS2 games, all ORIGINAL!

THUMP on 1: Porter Robinson Wants People to Like His Music
After a much-talked about signing to Astralwerks last Fall, Porter Robinson's Worlds would be EDM's most anticipated album of the year - except the producer who built a career as a young ruler of festival main stage drops has made a decidedly un-EDM album.
"EDM is very functional," Robinson tells us. "It's meant to make people jump up and down and go crazy and it's real good at that. I just think in terms of expression, it's very very limiting."
When he stopped by THUMP in Los Angeles a few weeks ago, the 21-year-old had just put the finishing touches on his new single, "Sad Machine." It's the first record on which the producer actually sings (though he has some help from a Japanese robot) and like the rest of Worlds, it expresses a slice of his unique musical vision.
"When I first started writing the album, the first ten or so demos I made were very diverse," Robinson explains. "I honed in on two or three of those and noticed some like elements. There's one chord progression that appears throughout the album and I find it really emotional. It's not in any of my previous work."
Even though he says he feels "way better understood," now that he's making more melodic, less-banging music, Robinson admits to having some concerns about how his fans will react.
"One thing that scares me a little bit is that I want people to like my music, but I think a lot of what I like about my own music are these references to things that people don't share nostalgia with me on."
Given the fan response to early single "Sea of Voices," it's likely Robinson has nothing to worry about.
Watch the full interview to hear Porter talk about Dance Dance Revolution, signature sounds and the electronic music scene of Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Worlds is available August 12 through Astralwerks in CD, digital and vinyl. Pre-orders, including limited edition bonus packages, start today here.

Everyone, TIM MILLER is doing some GREAT NEW things and we should all support him. Tim, you're a couragous young man. BRAVO!!
Fast, funny and furious, Tim Miller's new show Us ricochets between Miller's love affair since childhood with Broadway musicals to an exploration of gay marriage, exile and the injustices lesbian and gay people face in the United States. Nominated for a 2005 New York Drama Desk Award for Best Solo performance, Us takes us on a whirlwind journey that re-thinks the American Musical as inspiration for radical politics and queer identity. "As a rallying cry for gay rights, Tim Miller's "Us'' contains a sweet-spirited, honest and seriously funny commentary on the power of popular art to shape people's moral, social and sexual development. Miller is, as always, a frisky and charismatic performer (New York Times)."

1. Last month when I was in Montreal I had the chance to visit several of my ceramic pieces that I had given to my daughter (I was visiting her too) and one of them is the bowl labelled "1″ above. This was the only bowl of this design I had made and I was happy to discover that I still love its shape, its contrasting textures and its light weight. When I made the bowl I was thinking it would be a prototype that would not work out as planned but that would help me learn how to make a large, lightweight bowl using textures, so I worked quickly and loosely. To my surprise, the whole thing came together and stayed together and made me happy.
2. Last week, in the studio, I remembered the bowl from Montreal and I made another one. As with the first version, I used an old wok as a drape mould. I rolled a 1/8-inch thick slab of porcelain clay on an old piece of cotton sheeting (cotton sheeting has no texture of its own), textured it with a piece of fishnet, then laid the sheet and the slab into the wok. The sheeting allows me to move the slab back and forth until it is centered in the wok, and the wok gives me a nice rounded bottom that I may or may not flatten out a bit so the bowl sits steady (I prefer bowls with rounded bottoms that rock slightly but others find this unnerving). I added an untextured rim that I joined tightly to the inside of the bowl and added a couple of buttons on the outside. Later, when the bowl was leatherhard, I took it out of the wok and smoothed the outside join.
3. While I was making bowl #2 I remembered that one summer, many years ago, when I was handbuilding at my summer cabin, I made a similar bowl using a wok that I borrowed from my neighbour there. I used a slab that was about 1/4-inch thick and as I had not yet entered the realm of texture heaven, I smoothed all the surfaces. This bowl is made out of a utilitarian brown clay, is much heavier than the newer models and has an entirely different aesthetic but, at least at the moment, it is sitting in a place of honour in the center of a large coffee table that I have just inherited from my mother.
When I revisit old forms (usually unintentionally) and apply new techniques and designs to them, I realize that my clay work is progressing, but on a path that circles around and doubles back on itself and then moves forward on a slightly different trajectory and for the few moments that I spend realizing this, I know I'm on the right track.

If you're a credentialed journalist for a media outlet, you can receive the latest issues and topics in food and nutrition delivered direct to your inbox.
It all began as an attempt to force some balance back into my life. I began carving out 30 minutes each morning to calmly read the Washington Post while basking in the quiet early morning hours with a cup of Java. Well, that was the intent, anyway. Up until then I caught the paper whenever I could grab a few minutes, while waiting on kids carpools, or when an especially intriguing front page picture caught my eye. These days, reading the paper somehow cannot be used in the same sentence with "calmly" or "basking"—there is a bit too much angst in the world for me. Toss in election year politics in our Nation's capitol and I begin to wonder if there will be a time when "peace" is trending.
So, in the spirit of competitiveness (YES—I did watch the Olympics!)—I now have a new game of –"find the inspiration"—while reading the paper. It is my own odd way of dealing with the disturbing events of the day, staying in touch with world events, yet still being hopeful when I lay down the last section of newsprint. My only other option was to search out the "Comics" section and toss the rest of the paper. Today I happened upon a great article early in my read: Baby boomers embrace vegetarianism, but such diets have risks as well as benefits. An article that blends multiple interviews, including that of Academy Past President, Sylvia Escott-Stump ends with "consider talking to a dietitian". My second part of the "inspiration" moment was the fact that what I read in hard copy, I can also find online—(both laptop and mobile). As I have said before—I have turned into my mother. She still routinely clips newsprint articles and mails them to me—my version is just a bit more digital. Enjoy the article and pass it along— in your favorite format.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sky!
Facts about Sky
- Breed: Dachshund/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Sky's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi! My name is Sky and I'm a Chiweenie mix! That's a Dachshund and Chihuahua in case you wondered! I was born 5/29/2013 and I have 1 brother and 1 sister. Foster mama says I'm all grown up now, and ready for a home of my own, so if you'd like to adopt me and have me come live with your family, here I am! I love to play with puppy toys, cats, my siblings and feet! I would be a great friend for adults or a child who is at least 6 years old and knows how to be gentle, since I'm still tiny. I will need a family to show me the ropes about potty training and chewing and all that puppy stuff, so you need to have patience and a LOT of love to give! I will love you forever in return. Call foster mama Abby at 602-348-5599 to set up a meeting. I hope to meet my new family soon!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sky, a Glendale Dachshund/Chihuahua puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Chihuahua for sale in Glendale, or seeking a Dachshund/Chihuahua puppy from a breeder in Glendale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Glendale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Glendale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund/Chihuahua breeders who help with Dachshund/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Glendale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Rev counter problem
Posts: 1
Hi, I have a 1996 Jeep which is running fine, but the rev counter has suddenly gone very erratic, it bounces up and down all the time in a random way. The speedometer has also started reading 0 and then bouncing back up to the speed I'm doing. The 'Check Engine' light also flashes on and off. Any ideas? Thanks.

Meaningful conversations about brand, from Davis Brand Capital.
Yesterday, I came across the most outrageously ludicrous fake marketing story about Del Monte and a James Bond tie-in from the geniuses at the Onion. Hoot! Holler! Sides splitting open! Then I realized it was REAL. I swear, I haven't been so crippled by fear since Denise Richards was cast as nuclear physicist Christmas Jones in "The World is Not Enough."
UK-based Del Monte Superfruit Smoothies decided to get some traction around the first National Ice Cream Week by surveying women about which male celebrity they'd like to have on the receiving end of an ice lolly (we call them popsicles over in these parts). Current 007 Daniel Craig was deemed the "winner," and a team of artists toiled to recreate a frosty likeness of the actor emerging from the sea in the oft-ogled "Casino Royale" scene:
Not quite awkward enough for you? Here, how about a substantial bit of wood positioned just so:
Alrighty then. ??Sure, as images of oneself carved into frozen pomegranite juice are destined to go, Mr. Craig could have done worse. The face does look like him, and the artists even threw in some extra ab crunches. But what self-respecting celebrity would be okay with this?
It's not like Daniel Craig is a British Daniel Baldwin. He's an award winning actor. The man has a solid image to manage in the public eye. But here, his tight little brand assets are frozen (into swim trunks for public mouthing by sweaty women dodging pigeons at Trafalgar Square).
And there's the stick again. How did he approve this?
When it comes to edible fare, we've had our share of unfortunate celebrity brands. Jeff Foxworthy has his own line of redneck-approved beef jerky. The tracks of Smokey Robinson's tears may dry up if you eat his pot roast. And few salty snacks sound more revolting than those peddled by Dirt McGirt, aka Ol' Dirty Bastard. ??But have you ever seen an actual, consumable food product in the likeness of a public figure?
Other than Jesus, who has a successful ongoing rollout of cheese-based goods in His image, I can't think of any.
Am I the only one left with a bad taste in my mouth?

LED Bench: For Raves in the Park
"Home of Unusual Luxury." That's the tagline of online shop Opulent Items. If there's anything in their offerings that embodies that tagline, it has to be this LED park bench.
The bench is remote-controlled, allows for mixing of colors and can be programmed to switch colors at varying speed, or it can stick to a single color so as not to induce seizures. Kidding. The bench is equipped with non-heat lighting, so while it can blind you at least it won't burn your ass. The bench is also weather resistant, which is fortunate because I don't think the chair belongs anywhere else but outdoors. It would be awesome if someone actually installed it on a ceiling.
I think we can all agree that the LED bench is unusual. Now for the luxury part: Opulent Items is selling it for $6,500 (USD). But believe it or not, it's actually out of stock right now.

That is perfect for guerilla advertising. The bench will light up with various ads to pay it's bills.

Barb Shafer is a non-res runner with team HVAF. I have had the privilege of getting to know Barb over the past few months and she is a true joy to have in my life. She is one of those people you just feel comfortable around, even when you first meet her. Barb became involved with Back on My Feet Indianapolis right after our launch.
I'll never forget the day I met Barb! I had been emailing with her for at least a month, and finally met her at the Carmel Half Marathon. It's funny how you have preconceived notions about someone before you meet them. For some reason based on our emails, Barb was just who I thought she would be. There are so many amazing aspects of BoMF, but getting to know people like Barb, definitely tops the charts!
Learn more about Barb below and you will begin to understand what makes her so special:
Shoe Size: My shoe size is 7.5 but I wear an 8 in running shoes.
Post Run Food: After a run I HAVE to have a fountain Diet Coke with lots of ice. I know it's not so good for you, but it is one of my vices.
Favorite Race: I have enjoyed most races, but especially liked Disney World Marathon, Marine Corps Marathon, and the Charlevoix, MI Marathon.
Favorite Music: I love contemporary Christian music and love to listen to K-Love!
Bucket List: My bucket list includes completing a marathon in all 50 states!! I have done only 11 states so far, so it may take me a while.
Years Running: I have been running for about 15 years. Wish I had started earlier! Had a friend who urged me to train for a half-marathon with her and got hooked.
Why do you Run: Running is my therapy. Without it, I get crabby, moody and fat. Love the challenge of running in different cities, and mixing it with another of my favorites: traveling.
How did you find out about BoMF: A friend sent me an email re: BOMF and was instantly intrigued. After attending an orientation meeting, I knew it was where I needed to be.
What does BoMF mean to you: BoMF has been an answer to prayer. It is wonderful to combine the love of running with a fabulous group of people who are really moving and shaking the world for the better. The accountability keeps me getting up at 4:30am!
Why did you decide to FundRace: It is such a pleasure to FundRace for BoMF, because this program is doing so much for our residents. It is a true joy to see them succeed, not only in completing the challenge of a race, but the challenges that they face in their personal lives. To be able to contribute to that is what it's all about for me. When they succeed, the whole team succeeds.
What is your favorite BoMF memory: There are so many memories that are sweet to me, but just getting out there on the daily runs, hearing how the members are moving along in their lives, is the best. The non-residents are a pretty wonderful group people. Tom and Deb are such an inspiration for us all, I learn so much from the whole atmosphere.
I thank God that I can be a small part of this wonderful organization!

I think they'll all still be used. In reality ask about John Moses Browning... his gun design is still fundamentally the same over a century later. The AK has only been around since 1947. And the glock is relatively recent compared to the others. As far as glock goes I believe they'll always be known as the easiest, cleanest, least maintenance polymer out there. Its reliability will always be remembered. But there are other polymers already out shining the glock in terms of reliability and accuracy. However there has yet to be a rifle that has the AK's rugged durability. And the 1911 is just an American icon.
That's a hard comparison since the 1911 is 100 years old, the AK47 is about 60 and the Glock just over 30. I mean, the 1911 and AK can still be bought new in the same configuration from the day of it's inception. The Glock stormed the scene and became the goto gun for so many LEO's that it demands respect. However, given overall I think more people know what an AK47 is than the other two if you look outside of the enthusiast market.
A good plan executed today is better than a perfect plan executed at some indefinite point in the future. - General George Patton Jr
Well, right now John Moses Browning is the most inovated gun designer. Glock and Kalashmikov have nothing on him. While their designs are pretty good, Browning's have stood the test of time very well. If it wasn't for JMB's designs, GLOCK wouldn't exist, and Kalashmikov got a lot of his ideas for the AK-47 from the Germans. Glock and Kalashmikov are also only famous for one design. Browning is known for several. Glock-GLOCK handgun Kalashmikov-AK-47 (he designed other guns, but they are all pretty much based off the AK-47) Browning. 1911 Browning Hi-Power Colt Woodsman Winchester M1887 Winchester M1892 Winchester M1894 Winchester M1895 Winchester M1897 Browning Auto-5 1919 Browning machine gun M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) Browning M2 machine gun Ithica Model 37 The list goes on.
History will show they were both pretty average pistols made for peasants.

Glen Burnie Man Sentenced in Million Dollar Credit Card Scheme
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz sentenced Leland Glaze, age 33, of Glen Burnie, Maryland today to 65 months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for bank fraud and aggravated identity theft arising from a scheme in which he and his conspirators fraudulently obtained over $1.15 million in credit and goods and services, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein. Judge Motz also ordered that Glaze pay restitution of $260,474.69.
According to his plea, from March 2004 to January 2006, Glaze and co-defendants Michael Paul, Stanley Pope and others used fraudulent credit card accounts, which had been opened using stolen identity information, to obtain cash and purchase goods and services. Glaze allowed co-conspirators to use his computer at his residence to order merchandise online using the fraudulent credit cards and the victim identities. He also helped his co-conspirators to conduct these transactions, place orders and receive mail and merchandise associated with the fraudulent scheme.
As a result of the scheme, Glaze and his co-conspirators fraudulently obtained extensions of credit in excess of $1,115,000, and obtained goods and services valued at over $260,000.
Michael Wayne Paul, age 22, of Baltimore and Columbia, Maryland; and Jennifer Carol Garnsey, age 37, of Glen Burnie, pleaded guilty to bank fraud and aggravated identity theft and were sentenced on April 24, 2009 to 61 months and 65 months in prison, respectively. Stanley Pope, age 41, of Baltimore and Tymetria Queen, age 25, of Glen Burnie, pleaded guilty to their participation in the scheme. Pope is scheduled to be sentenced on May 21, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. and no date has been scheduled yet for Queen's sentencing.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Maryland Transportation Authority Police for their investigative work. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorney Tamera L. Fine, who prosecuted the case.

We're in SE MI, zone 5, and I've tried cilantro in both well amended raised beds, containers and in average, slightly amended clay-based soil, and all we ever get are a few straggly limp sprigs, while basil and other herbs do quite well. Is that normal for cilantro, or does it need some special conditions I'm not providing?
I actually have no idea what a healthy cilantro plant is supposed to look like (I usually just buy it several big bunches at a time in the grocery store when it's cheap and plentiful in the summer), so maybe those fat bunches are the equivalent of 10 plants for all I know. It's one of my favorite herbs, I actually make a "vegan" version of pesto with it and would love to be able to grow my own more successfully. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've never started Cilantro from seed, just from transplants from the store and only this year because my husband made me do it. This is my first year gardening, but here's my experience. The transplants we got from the store were MEGA leggy - most of the cilantro plants just fell over after transplanting. We put the plants into a pot with potting soil. A bunch of it started wilting, so we snipped all the yellowing leaves. Only a little at a time, not too much. I think a lot of it wilts because of all the abuse the stems get being leggy, being transported to the store, being bought and brought home, and being transplanted. But that's just a guess, heh. After a lot of the plant wilted (I say wilted instead of died because it never got to "dry/papery" stage, just a lot of yellow that we ended up cutting), a bunch of new cilantro started growing straight up. The leaves at the ends were very very thin and feathery, almost fern-like. I'm not sure if these leaves will eventually fill out - never grown it before this year, so I'll just have to wait and see! As for care... we water all of our herbs (cilantro, basil, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and chives) everyday or every other day, but not very deeply. Just enough so the soil doesn't dry out. It would be like if you were watering a sponge and didn't want it soaking wet and didn't want any runoff. I had watered them deeply to begin with, and I thought they looked healthy, but since my husband took over watering (with the above "method), honestly, I think all the herbs have looked a LOT healthier and grown much more vigorously. I guess it kind of makes sense - I read somewhere that herbs don't like too much attention and sometimes thrive when well-neglected, heh. I used a little bit in some salsa tonight, and seriously, it tastes amazing. All flavor, no funky leafy-aftertaste. We're down in Texas, though. It's been rainy off and on, and reasonably warm. I'm not sure if the warmth has anything to do with it, but if that's the case, then all you'd need to do is wait for the weather to warm up... right? |

I grow it from seed in my "ammended, clay-based soil." Nothing special required. Drop the seed in about as deep as they are wide. Water in well and let it go. Never a problem here. Where are you getting your seed? FataMorgana |
Thanks you guys! Hmm... I wonder if the problem is that we've always started with the potted plants vs. seed. Yes - they are always leggy and thin. It's cheap to buy it when it's in season, but storing it once cut is a pain, and I really like to be able to just walk out into the garden and pick what I need on the spot. I think I'm going to try seed and maybe a few plants again, and put it where it'll be more "neglected," maybe if I don't give it too much good soil, water and attention, it'll be happy.. ? |
while i have not had trouble transplanting cilantro, it has the reputation for not transplanting well. my primary method of cilantro production duplicates fatamorgana's advice. once the feathery leaves have begun to appear you may as well pull it... the flavor changes and it is not going to anything but flower and go to seed... if you have a lot of space i suggest leaving it to go to seed- fresh ground coriander is wonderful... i tell my market customers that here in virginia you can only grow cilantro successfully for a couple of months in late spring and a couple of months in early fall... |
Cilantro grows well when the weather is cool. It does not transplant well. I grow it in a pot or the ground as several successive crops because the plants do not last very long before going to seed. |

It grows easily from seed. As pvel says, you can get a steady supply by planting more every week or two, and pulling the older plants when they start to bolt. Johnny's has a new variety called Calypso they claim is slow-bolting. An ounce of seed, which they sell for $4.25, should last you the season. They have some other interesting varieties, as does Richter's. |

I can grow cilantro Coriandrum sativum only in the fall through late spring. The heat causes it to bolt. I allow it to bolt out and then come fall, I start to see lots of little plants coming up. Here is a short article on growing cilantro. |

Closing the chasm between PR and Wikipedia |
If you're a PR practitioner, especially if you work for an agency, you may have experienced a dark side of Wikipedia when it comes to editing existing entries or creating new ones for clients. It's not anecdotal when you hear someone say "Public relations people are not welcomed to edit Wikipedia entries" and you wonder where that came from – it's stated in Wikipedia's editing policies and in specific publications such as this rather good presentation "Jake Ocaasi. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has articulated a clear view this year on how he regards public relations in this context: "What I have found – and the evidence for this is pretty comprehensive – is that people who are acting as paid advocates do not make good editors. They insert puffery and spin. That's what they do because that is what paid advocates do." That quote is on page 3 in Ocaasi's PDF; bold text is in the original. The historical relationship between PR and Wikipedia is an uncomfortable one, with each side suspicious of the motives and objectives of the other – Jimmy Wales' view sums that up pretty well from the Wikipedia perspective. Such polarization has not been helped at all by the Bell Pottinger lobbying scandal last year and the agency's assertions that it "has a team which 'sorts' negative Wikipedia coverage of clients." None of that is new, either – remember astroturfing half a decade ago? Another aspect that adds to the polarization is a belief from the PR side that Wikipedia articles about clients often contain errors of fact – from the simple such as a CEO's name spelled incorrectly to incorrect numbers about, say, annual revenues – yet no one is able to correct such errors. This belief comes across very clearly indeed in just-published informal research carried out in the US by PDF download) and makes for interesting reading. So a position has arisen where a yawning chasm exists between two sets of people, both of whom I would argue actually have similar objectives in enabling access to factually-correct information but very different ones in terms of how to go about doing that. Luckily, there is a new hope that the chasm can be closed where an informal initiative centred on a Facebook page called "Corporate Representatives for Ethical Wikipedia Engagement," or CREWE for short, is leading the way for dialogue, community-building and broader understanding between the two sides. Its goals are clear: CREWE comprises Wikipedians, corporate communications, academics, students and other interested parties who are exploring the ways that PR and Wikipedia can work together for mutual benefit, defined narrowly as cooperation toward more accurate and balanced entries. Founded in January by Edelman VP documents have been drafted, all with the aim of moving both sides closer together in understanding. It's amazing what open minds, willingness to consider different points of view and great communication can achieve when focused on a common goal! CREWE is the informal face of dialogue, and fits in with more formal approaches to resolution, including CIPR in the UK. Overall, the prognosis is encouraging for closing the chasm. Related post:

The tutorial is split into ten 1-2 minute segments. They can be watched sequentially to learn the card game in around 16 minutes, or individually if you want a refresher on a particular phase.

H.P. Lovecraft's revered horror legacy comes to life in the Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game. Choose a side in this no-holds-barred fight for your mind and your life. Tentacled horrors too awful to mention, brave investigators doing whatever it takes to prevent this evil from forcing its way into our reality, and the Ancient Ones staring malevolently down upon the playing field at all times will force you to decide what is really important. Do you take up arms and fight these terrible foes until your dying breath? Or do you bow down before your evil masters and further their cause to wipe out all of humanity?
Click on the image below to open the Flash player and view the Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game tutorial.
Based on the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and his literary circle, Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game takes two players deep into the Cthulhu Mythos where investigators clash with the Ancient Ones and Elder Gods for the fate of the world. To learn more about Call of Cthulhu, visit our minisite.
If only we could see the old school tutorial circa 2005.
I am glad to see a tutorial of such fine quilty being made. I was able to show this to several people and they enjoy the ease of the mechanics due to the tutorial explanation.
It makes it so much easier to decide on purchasing a product when such is offered to the consumers. Thanks.
I like what you've done here. I think the tutorials are very well done, and it's a brilliant way of teaching the game to new players. I'm going to test this out on a few of my friendsI think it'll really help me get them into the game.
By the way, are there plans to do this sort of video tutorial for other games? Have some already been done? I know it would certainly influence my decision to purchase a game.
This is exactly what we needed, thank you!
BRAVO! (standing ovation). Awesome job, FFG. I look forward to seeing more video tutorials in the future...
Capital effort! Are there open bids for such work?
< type="text/java" src="http://shots.snap.com//client/inject.js?site_name=0">>The production on this is absolutely stellar. As a graphic design and video editing guy, I concur with darkkami.
However, from a structural standpoint I'm curious why the neutral cards aren't explained in the Setup video, especially with regard to incorporating them into your deck using only the base game.
These are always great, keep it up! It's so nice to be able to tell friends "just watch the tutorials".
Congratulations on a very impressive high quality tutorial. The graphics are great, the highlighting and zooming in is great. The lesson is clear. The division of sections makes sense. The game looks good. It takes place in Lovecraft Country mostly, but every one would rather hear an accent.
Never heard of a choo choo talisman. The tutorial does not mention that characters with a terror icon can not be driven insane. Success tokens are not removed in the tutorial after the story is won. But they do disappear.
Great work guys, very polished.
This is an amazing tutorial. I wish I had a local group to play this game with - I think it's the best collectible card game on the market (and yes, I know who the competition are!).
the effects in this video are amazing. It is a pleasure to watch. Well done!
