This is my first time here, so i hope i am following the rules. I've grown tomatoes all my life (it really is a "Southern" thing), and so did my mother, my grandmother, and my great-grandmother, so i'm here to share a few "tips." Yes, i do spray my vegetable garden, especially tomatoes, with dish soap, using only a few drops, and lots of water. It has worked for our family for well over 150 years. The insects don't like the soap, and neither does the tomato horn worms (scary, but cute). To keep other "critters" out we "scatter" hot sauce, pickle juice, and cayenne pepper generously over the soil area, and sometimes we mix the pepper with some water in a spray bottle, and spray a few leaves...works each and every time. The hot sauce and pepper spray will not hurt the plants, nor will the dish soap. I do; however, at least once during my garden season, use Sevin dust...it just works good, and you are going to wash off your vegetables. Another good tip, and this is a good one, because most people just don't think about it....i hate spiders with a passion, but i know what a garden spider looks like...it's big and yellow and weaves the most incredible webs you will ever see...it also "eats" most pests and insects in your garden, so DON'T kill them. I know it's a natural instinct to kill spiders, but try really hard to not kill the garden spiders, they are nature's best defense against the "pests" of your garden, any garden as far as that goes. Plus you will witness the amazing creativity of these webs....truly God given. My secret for big healthy tomatoes...soil and good drainage. I have three (3) compost piles where we place grass and pine cone mulch, leaves, sticks, and coffee grinds. When it's time to plant (and i always do before Good Friday because my great-grandmother told me to), my husband and i rake back the top layers, and we find the blackest dirt full of earthworms waiting for us. You know it's good soil if earthworms are crawling in it. Rake away the worms, but don't kill 'em. Shovel some of that black dirt in a separate pile. Make sure your worms go back in the dirt. Rake the top layer of mulch and cuttings back on top so that the compost process will continue. Now you have a good size pile of rich, fertile dirt. Mix with 1/3 part of garden soil, and 1/3 part of manure, and a little of peat or potting soil. Mix WELL. If you are using a ground level garden (you use a tiller to break up the ground), throw that dirt on top and between your rows...then do your planting. Since we are older, and arthritis sets in, we now only do "raised-bed" vegetables garden, so we fill up our containers with the good soil and plant. We have always had the best vegetables using this combination of soil. Oh, i forgot, there is something you should try to also help keep pests away....my grandmother and grandfather always planted sunflowers, zinnas, and marigolds in the gardens....they said the "smell" keeps the tomato horn worms away, and basil, the smell of basil is offensive to some insects too. But again, if you want to keep the squirrels away, and other critters, put that hot sauce and cayenne pepper out, and the dish soap. It works every time for us! We also keep adding fresh compost dirt to the gardens a couple of weeks, and garden fertilizer. We even use kiddie pools to raise squash, cucumbers, and zucchini. Just drill holes for drainage. And i always put broken tiles and rocks for extra drainage. Like i said, it works for us, and the soap is not going to hurt any animal or birds. We place cayenne pepper in our bird feeders to keep the squirrels away, works every time. And that is the end of this post, hope i did ok. |

You did just fine, Susan. It's always great to hear from gardeners with generations of experience behind them. I agree that those big garden spiders are amazing. I used to fear them horribly as a child, though. They would string their webs between the corn stalks in our big family garden, and I'd have to run and hide before supper time so that I didn't have to go out there and pick corn! (I've pretty much mastered my fear, though.) Truly, the only negative comment I would make would be in reference to your use of Sevin. I know that it has been around forever, but it is surely one of the worst chemicals when it comes to harming beneficial insects and other critters. Sevin is absolutely lethal to earthworms. Maybe, if you visit some of the other forums, you'll find an alternative that is worth trying. I see that you are from Alabama. I hope that you live in an area that wasn't hit by one of the many tornadoes that ripped through our state. Those of us in Northern Alabama were hit harder than the Tuscaloosa area; the damage is beyond description. |

susanbf714 - may I ask how often you have to spray with the dish soap? I'm having an awful time with horntail worms and I'd love to try that technique, just want to do it right! |
The "dish soap" used today is not soap but detergents, not your grandmothers soap which was probably homemade by rendering animal fats and then mixing that with lye. You can still buy soap, you just need to watch what you do buy. Mix 1 teaspoon of soap in 1 quart of water to make an Insecticidal Soap. Spray as needed because it is a contact poison and spray when the sun will not cause damage to the plants leaves, like early morning or late evening. |

I have seen Dawn used in lots of DIY remedies. What about using Dawn as a surfactant when spraying plants? |
I like Sevin dust. It does what it claims to do and sometimes you need it. But I have never used it on my pepper plants. I've never needed it, and you DON'T use a broad spectrum killer as a preventative! It kills everything, including the insects that are keeping your pests under control. Use of Sevin as a preventative may actually cause the problems you are trying to prevent. Otherwise I like what you have to say. Thank you very much, susan. Dennis |
Dawn Dishwashing Liquid is not even called a soap by the manufacturer because it is a detergent and not a soap. although the FDA dropped the differentiation some years ago. Spraying broad spectrum poisons such as Carbaryl (Sevin) in the absence of the target insects is not environmentally responsible. Since things like Carbaryl kill any insect it contacts many beneficial insects are killed if it is sprayed, dusted, or otherwise used unnecessarily. |

I've avoided Sevin for several years and when I dig in the garden I have the big worms they call around here " night crawlers" when I used Sevin the worms were few now they are many . I do use the dish soap treatment for the squash bugs I've also found that companion planting radishes and letting them bloom repels a lot of insects the seed pods are also very edible stir fried or raw , My sweet corn that had some radishes planted next to one end had no corn ear worms in the three rows on that end so my second crop I sowed radishes in every row so will update at harvest time if it helped with that. |
Most all "liquid dish soaps" are detergents, not soap. From dictionary. com, "noun 1. any of a group of synthetic, organic, liquid or water-soluble cleaning agents that, unlike soap, are not prepared from fats and oils, are not inactivated by hard water, and have wetting-agent and emulsifying-agent properties. 2. a similar substance that is oil-soluble and capable of holding insoluble foreign matter in suspension, used in lubricating oils, dry-cleaning preparations, etc. 3. any cleansing agent, including soap. Compare anionic detergent, cationic detergent, synthetic detergent." Soap is made by reacting a fat, animal or vegetable, with an alkali, usually lye. For organic growers detergents, synthetic products, are not acceptable to use. |

It wasn't a very happy Thanksgiving for Salvatore Perrone. While most Americans enjoyed the day at home feasting with family, Perrone was in a Brooklyn court being arraigned for the murders of three shopkeepers.
Perrone, who turned 64 this week, was charged with three counts of second-degree murder for the cold-blooded killings of Mohamed Gebeli, Isaac Kadare, and Rahmatollah Vahidipour. Prosecutors chose to charge Perrone with one count of first-degree murder as well, a statutory option open to them because Perrone is alleged to have killed three people within a two-year span. If Perrone is convicted, he will face a sentence of life imprisonment.
The defendant is being held without bail until trial. While a permanent defense attorney is yet to be named, Ken Jones represented Perrone at the arraignment and hinted that an insanity plea might be on the horizon. "His affect is just a little different, Jones told the New York Times, "he does seem as though he could have some mental-health issues."
When police first caught sight of Perrone on surveillance camera, he was nicknamed "John Doe Duffel Bag". Local tabloids report that Perrone's Staten Island neighbors had a different sobriquet for their unpopular neighbor — they called him "Son of Sal", an unknowingly prescient take on notorious serial killer David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz.
Residents of the Silver Lake neighborhood in Staten Island described Perrone as a bothersome person, who often threatened to call in police or other authorities over neighborly disputes. Still, no one suspected Perrone was a murderer. One neighbor told the Daily News: "If he is convicted, we'll throw a block party. He's insane. But a serial killer? That's a stretch."
More details emerged about Perrone's financial situation and previous criminal convictions in the days after his arrest. A foreclosure notice had been filed on Perrone's home, implying he had fallen behind on his mortgage payments. A former neighbor said Perrone's house had fallen on hard times: "It looked unlivable for about 20 years," according to Sharon Sullivan.
Perrone previously had minor brushes with the law — he was arrested twice for DWI on Staten Island and once in New Jersey, and was hit with theft and harrassment charges in Pennsylvania for drunkely barging into his girlfriend's home. Nothing in his past seemed to suggest he would one day be arrested for serial murder.
News reports say Perrone ultimately confessed to the murders of Kadare and Gebeli after hours of police interrogation. Perrone gave no motive for the killings, but spoke freely to police for hours. The Daily News cites a law enforcement source saying Perrone seemed confident upon arrest: "When he came in he signed the Miranda… 'I'll talk to you, I want to talk to you'" the source told the paper "he thought he'd outsmart us, but he wasn't arrogant — just very level, no emotion. At one point he actually said, 'I'll be out of here in the morning.'"
Now it seems much more likely that Perrone will spend the rest of his life behind bars. A life sentence without their loved ones has already been imposed on the families of Gebeli, Vahidipour, and Kadare. The Vahidipour family spent the Thanksgiving holiday mourning the grandfather of nine who would no longer be able to share family moments. The usually joyous holiday celebration was replaced with a memorial gathering.

The nor'easter that moved up the East Coast is being blamed for more than 200,000 additional power outages in the same areas that were hit by Superstorm Sandy.
More than 750,000 homes and businesses, mostly in New Jersey and New York, are in the dark. That's down from a peak of more than 8.5 million following Sandy.
The storm, which brought gusty winds, rain and snow, didn't cause the flooding that had been anticipated. It's now moving into New England.
In New York, some sections of Queens and Staten Island hard hit by Sandy got up to 6 inches of snow yesterday. More than 6 inches of snow fell in parts of Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Because the Horse Isn't Quite Dead Yet Apparently...
So for those few of you who don't know what the hell this is, back in 2012 a video by a Korean rapper known as Psy scored billions of views on YouTube and sparked thousands of parody videos (95% of which sucked but some were cool). This video was called Gangnam Style. Sorry for those who were expecting an awesome undiscovered video today, instead you get a valuable service announcement! Let the fucking horse die already people. Gangnam style was funny for a while, the parodies were neat, and that's that. It's 2013, some people are STILL uploading parodies about it. If you are one of these please go fuck a landmine now.
And for the record this and similar statements are also directed at Disney who recently bought Lucas Arts and decided to make SEQUELS to Star Wars. Seriously? The series ended, everyone who watched it already had their childhoods brutally raped by George Lucas's stupidity in episodes 1-3. How much more of our childhood do you need to rape before you're satisfied, jerks? Initiate arson to save the movie industry (well what's left of it that hasn't been taken over by advertisements and product placement).
~I condone this highly justified use of fire.

CapMan as an investment
CapMan is one of the world's few listed private equity fund managers. By investing in CapMan shares, investors have the opportunity to benefit from value created across a portfolio of Nordic and Russian companies and real estate. CapMan's B shares have been listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange since 2001.
Business fundamentals
As a private equity fund manager, successful fundraising and a sufficient level of capital under management are fundamental to CapMan's business. Successful fundraising requires performance, i.e. that the returns paid by CapMan's funds meet the target levels set by the institutional investors investing in them. The long-term success of CapMan's business depends therefore on the success of the investments made by its funds, in practice on how well it identifies investment opportunities, develops the value of portfolio companies and real estate, and realises value through well-timed and well-managed exits.
Long-term business
CapMan funds typically have a 10-year life cycle and most investments are held for four to six years. Risks are spread over a number of individual investments, none of which typically account for more than 15% of a fund's total capital. CapMan aims to invest in portfolio companies and real estate on a steady basis, irrespective of fluctuations in the economic cycle, and make the most of price differentials between the countries in the Nordic region by leveraging the region's extensive deal flow and buying companies in countries that offer attractive purchase prices. CapMan aims to exit its investments at the optimum time.
The long-term nature of CapMan's funds and investment activities has an inevitable impact on its financial performance, which should always be analysed over a longer time span than the quarterly cycle. CapMan's main sources of income are described in more detail here.
Financial targets
CapMan Plc announced the following financial targets in February 2011:
Target |
Performance in 1-9/2014 |
Profitability |
Return on equity of over 20% p.a. |
1.4% p.a. |
Capital structure |
Equity ratio of at least 60% |
56.7% |
Dividend policy |
Payout ratio of at |
A dividend of €0.04 per share was paid for 2013. |
CapMan has not set a separate growth target. CapMan believes that growth in the private equity investment sector will continue and that CapMan will benefit from the opportunities this will offer, particularly in its core investment areas.
Why invest in CapMan?
- Return potential of unlisted companies:
- Opportunity to access the value generated by unlisted Nordic and Russian companies and Nordic real estate.
- Attractive earnings model:
- Highly predictable fee income.
- Funds in carry have earnings potential whenever a portfolio company or real estate is exited.
- Significant upside from carried interest and own fund investments.
- Diversification benefits: Large number of funds under management and multiple individual investments spread the risk of the investment.
- Dividend policy: CapMan's targeted payout ratio is at least 50% of its net profits.
- Alignment of interests: Management and personnel own approx. 25% of CapMan.

I've had this blush in my collection for about 6 months and barely touched it.
For some reason when i apply regular powder blush i cannot get it to to look even.
Finally today i decided to pull this baby out and try it again.
i applied it starting close to my ear an tapping inward towards my nose. Most of the color focused on the outside of my face and it blended beautifully. Then decided, well why not add some regular powder blush on top of it.
For the first time in a LONG time i felt like my blush looked flawless, natural and movie star like.
To top it all off it lasted all day until i washed it at 8pm.
I will be using this under my blushes now and for a long time!
This was the first cream blush that I could get to stay / work on me! First, the texture is really interesting. It's almost like a gel in solid form rather than a sticky cream. Also, it's super pigmented, so you only need one swipe on one finger to cover an entire cheek. Application was fairly easy, I just pat it on my cheek in circles with my fingers and add a little more if I need to. It gives me the perfect, youthful pop of color without going overboard.
The color is a bright warm pink, MUCH more wearable than it looks in the pan (it's not fuschia or orange, don't worry). It may pull more pink on cooler skin tones and more coral on warmer ones. One of my favorite uses for this blush is to apply a sheer wash of it on my cheeks and then add POWDER blush on top. It makes the color of the powder blush pop and also makes both colors last much longer, so my cheeks are still pinky after 12-14 hrs at work.
Wonderful product and by far my favorite out of this line. I am taking off a lippie because it's prone to accumulating hair and dust, so it looks a little gross after a while.
Just could not get this to work for me. The formulation is too dry. I have oily skin so I thought this would be perfect, but sadly no.
I've tried applying this with my fingers and with a brush and I never get the result I hoped for.
Color is nice, a hot/coral-y pink color but that too faded after about 2 hours of wear.

I love this blush in Crush. I had read the reviews here on MUA and wasn't sure I would achieve the just-off-the-slopes look that several people mentioned... but I did! The color looks super bright in the pan, but with a few quick strokes with my blush brush, I have an instant healthy-looking glow! It's just enough color. Staying power seems pretty good, and so far no breakouts after a week or two. Would definitely repurchase.
UPDATE 2/20/12 -- I do think I might be getting some bumps from this, unfortunately. I'm seeing them under the surface just in the areas where I apply the blush. Can't win 'em all, I suppose! If your skin doesn't have a reaction to this, though, I still highly recommend it.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have said no to buying again because of the sheer amount of products on the market, the chances of me making a rebuy are kind of limited, there is always something new coming out - I have to use the thing up first!! It IS possible I may buy this in other colours but I'm not sure yet. Anyway, onto Crush, it's a cheek tint that comes in a beautiful purple compact with a silver snake on the front, it's UD's new blush formula and it's a very pretty bright pink shade. It looks shocking in the pan but on cheeks it is sheer and buildable. It's not a cream, it's very much a tint type product, I own a NARS multiple version of this and I prefer the UD one as it's easier to apply, you really can't go wrong with application actually.... the only issue I do have is the fact I WISH it lasted on the cheeks for longer. I find that half way through the day crush likes to bugger off which is a shame, I've taken to applying over powder blush and it lasts better, it's easy to take with you and re-apply don't get me wrong, but I really sometimes just don't have time. I would take this product if I went travelling, it is very good for lips as well, although staying power again could be an issue... I've given this a 4 because it's awesome but the staying power can let it down a little, I nearly died when I saw these cheek tints, I just HAD to have them, the formula could be better in terms of staying power - there is a lot of slip to them and it would be great if this dried once applied and stayed put. Other than staying power I love everything about this blush and if you want to buy it, I certainly wouldn't advise against it.
I love the UD Afterglow Glide on Cheek Tints! I now have two (see my review for 'Greedy'). I cannot stress enough how AMAZING this product is!
Afterglow in Crush has become my HG Blush-Sorry NARS Orgasm :(
I love everything about the product, the color is a juicy peachy pink---looks ultra natural on. Color is buildable so you can achieve whatever look you're going for. Once I purchased this, I have literally used it every single day! The quality is nice, creamy and silky without the heaviness of a cream blush. Applies evenly, doesn't fade or become splotchy throughout the day. Especially nice in the summer, I don't wear any foundation/tinted moisturizer in the heat--so regular powder blush doesn't want to stay. Love love LOVE afterglow!

Maybe nobody has anything at this time. I also doubt that someone wants to trade a plumeria for a Lion's Tail which is grown as an annual from seed in many areas. Your post about not wanting to deal with mail order nurseries or Ebay without an explanation might also have something to do with it. I'm not trying to be snarky just giving you an honest opinion. You might have better luck later in the season when people are pruning their plants. If you are worried about quality there are a number of reliable mail order nurseries and ebay sellers. I'm sure that people here would give you recommendations if you change your mind about dealing with them. Good luck. |

Yikes! iPod sales down and music follows
As reported in theAge, iPod sales have been on the decline. This is known.
But did you know that sales if (compressed) music downloads parallel that trend?
It turns out that this is no small matter:
The music industry had looked to the iPod to drive people to buy music in download form, whether from Apple's iTunes music store or from newer competitors such as Amazon. The problem for them is that digital music sales are only growing as fast as those of Apple's devices.
"At a time where we're asking if digital is a replacement for the CD, as the CD was for vinyl, we should be starting to see a hockey-stick growth in download sales," says Mark Mulligan, an analyst at Forrester Research who specialises in music and digital media.
"Instead, we're seeing a curve resembling that of a niche technology."
Can Apple's announcement this week reverse the trend?
Is high-end affected? How?

New DIY class next January
San Francisco audio designer, Edwin Yang, will be once again teaching a class starting in January, 2011 at the Randall Museum. For the last few years, Edwin has been teaching students how to build a tube linestage, myself included. The linestage, although not expensive, is a terrific piece of gear – I sold my other 2 tube linestages after building it.
The next project is a tube phono stage. This class will be more challenging than the linestage class, but still possible for the student that has confidence and some dexterity. It is not necessary to have built anything before but that it desirable.
The class will be for several Saturdays starting in January. Some will finish quickly while others, like myself, will take the total of 10 Saturdays to finish. The class is always entertaining and educational and I highly recommend it. Cost will be around $600 – $700.
Phono stage comparison at the Randall Museum October 9th
The Bay Area Tube Users Group will be hosting a phono stage comparison at 1pm on Saturday October 9th. I will be bringing my Nighthawk and Prism Orpheus to compare to Edwin's phono stageIf you have a favorite phono stage you want to compare, please bring it along. So if you are on the fence as to whether it is worth the effort to build one, attend the event and decide for yourselves.

Sumiko to Hold Open House in Berkeley
See the flyer below for details of Sumiko's Open House (9/15/2010):
Home Audio Market Forecast Raised – Really!
As documented in an interesting article published by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA, think CES), sales forecasts for home audio over the next decade have been raised. Wow.
Basically, folks have all bought their flat-screen TV's and iPods and such, and now industry analysts think they'll turn to audio. Nice.
Of course, what this means to the 'high end' market remains to be seen. But I doubt if it's bad.
A few years ago, most everyone seemed excited about the the iPod. Everyone, that is, except the majority home audio manufacturers. Their reluctance was somewhat understandable. For a while, it seemed as though the increasingly old-fashioned concept of listening to music through a set of speakers on a system powered by an amplified receiver was going the way of the raptor.
A resurgence of LPs-fueled by nostalgia as well as a reaction to the often atrocious sound quality of audio files – kept the old-fashioned fire burning….
and the punchline:
CEA's Industry Forecast anticipates home audio revenues of $915 million by the end of this year, a 4 percent year-over-year increase and a refreshing jump from the $863 million we forecasted in January.
Great news…
Recovering Old Vinyl – Is This the Way? (Video)
This NYtimes article and video document a historic jazz music find and recovery.
The handling of these treasured disks may make some vinyl purists (the triple-distilled water set) wince….
(Thanks, Jeffrey!)
Audio Objectivist Makes Case at AES 2009 (Video)
Most audiophiles who have frequented the forums know Ethan Winer – both as sound trap manufacturer and audiophile skeptic.
While the video below is more about the latter, I think that there are a few good learning points as well….
(Note: If the geeky video below isn't your thing, try this one – with Mr. Winer on cello!)
Jimi Hendrix: He REALLY was that good!
It's been 40 years since Jimi left us.
Understandably, the anniversary caused a bunch of press.
Click here for the best that I've seen.
[Thanks, Aaron!]
Aaudio Demonstrates High-Value Audiophile Gear
Following the awesome California Audio Show, Brian Ackerman of distributor Aaudio Imports agreed to "export" his fine wares to Jason's Oakland castle.
The result: lots of good listening and good learning for dozens of members.
The gear on hand included:
- Aaron no.22 preamp - $3,900 retail
- Aaron no.3 amp - $3,950 retail
- Lindemann 825 cd player - $12,000 retail
- Stage III Cables – $Various
- Weizhi PRS-6 Power Distributor – $3,200 retail
I found it quite interesting to hear Jason's system powered by quality solid state amplification.
We also got to taste the Stein Harmonizers and the luscious Wavelength USB Converter.
Thanks, Brian & Jason – we enjoyed it!
My Impressions of the California Audio Show
- Smashing success
- Advanced audio awareness in Bay Area
- Well-organized; friendly environment
My Favorite Rooms
- TONIAN – Nothing better for small-scale music, and can stretch to bigger things
- EFICION – "Classic" high-end formula: great drivers, inert cab, and smart design (new F250 is great)
- MAGICO/KINGSOUND – My fav Magico (V-2) sung; Kings needed bigger room and amps
- GRADIENT – Innovation in loudspeakers lives…rejoice!
- SONIST/deHavilland – Tapes! Tubes! Good economics!
- TERESONIC – BAAS member MZ has broken the code on Lowthers (Step 1 Horns, Step 2 SET,…)
- Trenner & Friedl – Amazing sound from small things
- BLUE COAST – Live music, neat tech, and smart (nice) people who just want to deliver fidelity in music. Whats not to love?
Disclaimer: I own Tonian and eFicion speakers.
Best Bargain
The $4000 system by GRANT FIDELITY. Yes, it's Chinese. So what?
I had a great time. I have also lined up six new events to round out the year.
Many thanks and congratulations to Constantine Soo and Dagogo for a temendous debut!
Interested in more?

About 120 BAAS members attended. If you were one of them, what did you think of the show?

Always shopping but never have anything to wear? You may be suffering from Wardrobe ADD. You bought a bunch of clothes that you loved at the time, but have nothing to do with each other--and no rhyme or reason when lined up in your closet. The next time you head to the mall, keep in mind a specific opening your closet has, and seek to fill that. Low on work trousers? Need a going out top
Outfit Buying Guides | |||
Even if you don't work in an office that requires formal attire, every woman needs at least one suit Tip: if you're outfit-challenged, make sure you buy this expensive piece in a neutral colour so that matching it will be harder to mess up. |
Tired of looking like crap on the weekends? It's not your fault! Everybody wants to bust out of suits on their days off, but if you don't have pretty clothes that are also comfortable, inevitably, you'll be in sweats. Break the vicious (and ugly) cycle now and look forward to beautiful weekends in gorgeous cotton dresses |
Ah, Friday. You're just one day away from the right to wear sweatpants during daylight hours--but you shouldn't dress like it! Casual or not, Friday is still a work day and that means you should be dressed suitably. Tailored trousers |
Nothing can catapult a woman into an "I have nothing to wear" episode like a party. But If you buy a few things ahead of time, you'll never be caught with your trousers down. At least one LBD (Little Black Dress) should have a home in your closet, as well as wraps |
We hope that you're reading this at your leisure and not because you've got a dress-up event in two hours.

Well I can't say I planned for the blog to be down nearly as long as it has been. It's been really disheartening that I've been away this long. I'm still working on things though and I am still figuring out the path I want the site to take. I've figured some things out and seemingly gotten further away from figuring out others.
I'm very much still actively hunting records and tapes and have found some big time scores in the last couple months. Which I've really wanted to write about here but I don't want to get restarted until I have most things figured out. I want this delay to be the last delay the site has.
Along with what I mentioned in the first blog update post I've been considering making a St. Louis music calendar and possibly starting a Facebook page to go with the blog. It's all just a bit up in the air right now as I'm a one man band so to speak so everything I add to this project means more on my plate every week.
Thanks for sticking with me and as always if you have any questions or comments you can email me at ra7c7er @ gmail . com

Blog Update #1
I haven't posted anything new lately. I've been trying to figure out how to streamline the blog a bit. It's not where I want it to be and I am not quite sure how to get it there. I am working on it though and I am still writing for it. I am hoping to have the blog going again in two weeks, February 4th, but it may take a week or two longer. I'm holding off on the Weekly Finds updates also because I am changing the way I do them.
Some of the tweaks I am working on are;
Changing Weekly Finds to a Weekly Thrift Challenge
St. Louis area record shop reviews
Creating a format for new music reviews
Getting back to the themed mini-series posts (like the Automobilia posts)
Alternate formats (cassette and VHS posts)
Possibly instituting a monthly giveaway
If you have any comments or questions you can always email me at ra7c7er @ gmail . com

Weekly Finds - 2014 First Edition
It's been freezing and snowy. Not nearly as much as most places but it's been enough to make it slow going in the record hunting. All I really managed to get this week was a few cassettes and two VHS tapes.

The Simpsons - Sing The Blues (second copy)
Glenn Danzig - Black Aria
Soul Asylym - Grave Dancers Union
Pirates Of The Mississippi - Pirates Of The Mississippi
Led Zeppelin - III

Prince - Sign Of The Times
Usher - Live

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
4 Indeed, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; He wept, and made supplication to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us, | 4 He struggled with the angel and overcame him; he wept and begged for his favor. He found him at Bethel and talked with him there-- |

Just wondering what people generally pay to do minor "fixes" after the inspection process. We had our inspection a few days ago and the buyers Realtor sent the report over. We are waiting to hear back from the buyers. We don't have any major issues other than our deck is not up to current code (house built in 1979) as far as railing spacing, stair heights, not secured to the house the way they are now etc. The attic is not vented the way they are now. And apparently the insulation in our uninstalled crawlspace was installed the wrong way with the paper facing out instead of the pink stuff. We have a vapor barrier on the ground. Anyway, we came down $10,000 from our asking price (which we had already come down $27,000 from our original asking price). We are building a new home so we do need to get out of this one, I don't want to jeopardize the sale but I feel like saying take it or leave it at this point. Oh it is a cash sale so they gave us 3 weeks to close. We have to be out by Feb 10th so we have very little time to take care of anything while trying to pack and get moved. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You aren't required to meet current code for an older home; are they asking you to change the deck and attic venting? |
They have not gotten back to us yet, they are supposed to by today. I am just trying to brace myself for what they might come back with/what is reasonable for them to expect me to do. The insulation is in our crawlspace. It is installed so the paper part is "out", what you see when you look up, the paper is stapled to the floor joists. The pink part is against the floor of the house which I guess is backward. The inspector said there could be moisture problems because the paper on the insulation is a vapor barrier. We have a plastic vapor barrier down on the ground so I am not sure where this moisture would be coming from? It just seems like a big headache to me and I don't really want to deal with it or pay for it. But like I said, I def don't want these guys to walk away either. I know I don't have to bring the deck up to code, I just didn't know if people generally expect that. |

The insulation would be what I ask to be corrected. It will not be cheap. But then again, the next buyer after this one will more than likely request that it be corrected to. |
What I find frustrating is we purchased this house 7 years ago, the insulation has not changed since then and our inspector didn't say anything about it. I had no idea it wasn't "right". When you look in our crawlspace it looks all nice and neat with the brown paper neatly stapled up and staring back at you. Grrrrr. I wonder if the insulation can be re-used or if we would have to buy all new. It appears to be in good condition from the small amount I pulled back to look at. |
Whether it is "right" or not, actually depends on where in the country you live. If you find energyraterla or some of the others on teh hvac forum to ask the question of, you might find your inspector was correct, or yours was incorrect. I wouldn't consider that a deal breaker. The deck and attic are not things that you should do anything about. That information is "for information only" for the buyers. |

I'm not sure that there is a norm (sorry!). When I and I number of friends and peers were selling our pre-crash-purchased properties after the housing crash, we all agreed to some pretty stupid repairs & credits, just to get our places sold. I'm under contract now to sell a different house (desirable location & property, and a much, much better market), and I told my buyers to pound sand, and they backed off. So, while this is obviously anecdotal, assuming no major surprises on the inspection, I tend to think it has more to do with the relative bargaining power of the parties involved in the post-inspection negotiation than anything else. Not much you can do other than wait to hear. My advice is to try as hard as you can not to get emotional about it and view it from a financial perspective. You can always offer a credit rather than a repair (I would always prefer to do that). Cash buyers are fantastic and I would try to make it work if you can. |
Rather than offering "x" off the purchase price, state that you'll put "x" amount in escrow for 6 months. If the funds aren't used for the repairs the buyers are asking for, the money is returned to you. I suggest this because some buyers aren't concerned about the repairs, they just want the money. So, if they don't actually fix those SPECIFIC repairs (with receipts as proof), you'll get the money back. They just can't keep the money or use it for something else. |

That is a great idea Jewel thanks! Still have not heard back. They technically have until Monday to let us know but they told us they would let us know by today because we are to be out of the house a week from Monday. |
I like that idea too, Jewel. Who would hold the escrow in this case of a cash sale or in our case where our buyers are financing? |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (My Page) on Thu, Jan 30, 14 at 19:28
The closing attorney would hold the funds in their account until receipts are shown. |
Okay all they asked for was that we re-label our breakers and update the ones that are supposedly not "correct" but they are all ones that are listed as acceptable on the breaker box itself so the inspector didn't know what he was doing and that is awesome for us. Not sure why they didn't say anything about the insulation but I am not asking any questions!! |
It sounds to me that $10,000 should more than cover the identified repairs. Not sure how that insulation under the house got installed like that. Had to be the homeowner or a fly by night handyman. Anyone in the insulation business should have known this was incorrect. |
Good News! Congratulations on what looks like a simple sale now. Maybe they googled the insulation thing and found info going both ways so not an issue to them. |
Don't know of 1 lender in my area that will allow funds to be escrowed anymore....all repairs/discounts have to be completed prior to closing. You might find a bank that does in house loans that will allow escrow but I sure don't know of any. |

Same here LOTO |
Fortunately, it's a cash buyer so the escrow funding could work, but sounds like it's OBE. |

From Poetry Wiki
In language, a metaphor (from the Greek: metapherin) is a rhetorical trope defined as a direct comparison between two or more seemingly unrelated subjects. In the simplest case, this takes the form: "The [first subject] is a [second subject]." More generally, a metaphor describes a first subject as being or equal to a second subject in some way. Thus, the first subject can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second subject are used to enhance the description of the first. This device is known for usage in literature, especially in poetry, where with few words, emotions and associations from one context are associated with objects and entities in a different context.
Within rhetorical theory metaphor is generally considered to be a direct equation of terms that is more forceful and assertive than an analogy, although the two types of tropes are highly similar and often confused. One distinguishing characteristic is that the assertiveness of a metaphor calls into question the underlying category structure, whereas in a rhetorical analogy the comparative differences between the categories remain salient and acknowledged. Similarly, metaphors can be distinguished from other closely related rhetorical concepts such as metonymy, synecdoche, simile, allegory and parable.

Aspects of metaphor
A metaphor, according to I. A. Richards in The Philosophy of Rhetoric (1936), consists of two parts: the tenor and vehicle. The tenor is the subject to which attributes are ascribed. The vehicle is the subject from which the attributes are borrowed.
- All the world's a stage,
- And all the men and women merely players
- They have their exits and their entrances; — (William Shakespeare, As You Like It, 2/7)
This well known quote is a good example of a metaphor. In this example, "the world" is compared to a stage, the aim being to describe the world by taking well-known attributes from the stage. In this case, the world is the tenor and the stage is the vehicle. "Men and woman" are a secondary tenor and "players" is the vehicle for this secondary tenor.
The metaphor is sometimes further analyzed in terms of the ground and the tension. The ground consists of the similarities between the tenor and the vehicle. The tension of the metaphor consists of the dissimilarities between the tenor and the vehicle. In the above example, the ground begins to be elucidated from the third line: "They have their exits and their entrances." In the play, Shakespeare continues this metaphor for another twenty lines beyond what is shown here - making it a good example of an extended metaphor.
The corresponding terms to 'tenor' and 'vehicle' in George Lakoff's terminology are target and source. In this nomenclature, metaphors are named using the convention "target IS source", with the word "is" always capitalized; in this notation, the metaphor discussed above would state that "humankind IS theater".
Types of metaphor
- An extended metaphor, or conceit, sets up a principal subject with several subsidiary subjects or comparisons. The above quote from As you like it is a good example. The world is described as a stage and then men and women are subsidiary subjects that are further described in the same context.
- A mixed metaphor is one that leaps, in the course of a figure, to a second identification inconsistent with the first one. Example: "He stepped up to the plate and grabbed the bull by the horns," where two commonly used metaphors are confused to create a nonsensical image.
- A dead metaphor is one in which the sense of a transferred image is not present. Example: "to grasp a concept" or "to gather you've understood." Both of these phrases use a physical action as a metaphor for understanding (itself a metaphor), but in none of these cases do most speakers of English actually visualize the physical action. Dead metaphors, by definition, normally go unnoticed. Some people make a distinction between a "dead metaphor" whose origin most speakers are entirely unaware of (such as "to understand" meaning to stand underneath a concept), and a dormant metaphor, whose metaphorical character people are aware of but rarely think about (such as "to break the ice"). Others, however, use dead metaphor for both of these concepts, and use it more generally as a way of describing metaphorical cliché.
- An epic or Homeric simile is an extended metaphor containing details about the vehicle that are not, in fact, necessary for the metaphoric purpose. This can be extended to humorous lengths, for instance: "This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you've got a moment, it's a twelve-story crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour porterage and an enormous sign on the roof saying 'This Is a Large Crisis.'" (Black Adder)
- A synechdochic metaphor is one in which a small part of something is chosen to represent the whole so as to highlight certain elements of the whole. For example "a pair of ragged claws" represents a crab in Eliot's Love Song of J. Alfred Prufock. Describing the crab in this way gives it the attributes of sharpness and savagery normally associated with claws.
Other types of metaphor have been identified as well, though the nomenclatures are not as universally accepted:
- An active metaphor is one which by contrast to a dead metaphor, is not part of daily language and is noticeable as a metaphor. Example: "You are my sun."
- A complex metaphor is one which mounts one identification on another. Example: "That throws some light on the question." Throwing light is a metaphor and there is no actual light.
- A compound or loose metaphor is one that catches the mind with several points of similarity. Example: "He has the wild stag's foot." This phrase suggests grace and speed as well as daring.
- An absolute or paralogical metaphor (sometimes called an antimetaphor) is one in which there is no discernible point of resemblance between the tenor and the vehicle. Examples:
- "The couch is the autobahn of the living room."
- "Six Flags is the aquarium of roller coasters."
- An implicit metaphor is one in which the tenor is not specified but implied. Example: "Shut your trap!" Here, the mouth of the listener is the unspecified tenor.
- A submerged metaphor is one in which the vehicle is implied, or indicated by one aspect. Example: "my winged thought". Here, the audience must supply the image of the bird.
- A simple or tight metaphor is one in which there is but one point of resemblance between the tenor and the vehicle. Example: "Cool it". In this example, the vehicle, "cool", is a temperature and nothing else, so the tenor, "it", can only be grounded to the vehicle by one attribute.
- A root metaphor is the underlying association that shapes an individual's understanding of a situation. Examples would be understanding life as a dangerous journey, seeing life as a hard test, or thinking of life as a good party. A root metaphor is different from the previous types of metaphor in that it is not necessarily an explicit device in language, but a fundamental, often unconscious, assumption.
Religion provides one common source of root metaphors, since birth, marriage, death and other universal life experiences can convey a very different meaning to different people, based on their level or type of religious conditioning or otherwise. For example, some religions see life as a single arrow pointing toward a future endpoint. Others see it as part of an endlessly repeating cycle. In his book World Hypotheses, the philosopher Stephen Pepper coined the term and proposed a theory of four ultimate root metaphors--formism, mechanism, organicism, contextualism.
- A conceptual metaphor is an underlying association that is systematic in both language and thought. For example in the Dylan Thomas poem "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night," the conceptual metaphor of "A Lifetime is a Day" is repeatedly expressed and extended throughout the entire poem. The same conceptual metaphor is the key to solving the Riddle of the Sphinx: "What goes on four legs in the morning, two legs at midday, and three in evening? --A man." Similar to root metaphors, conceptual metaphors are not only expressed in words, but are also habitual modes of thinking underlying many related metaphoric expressions.
Because they both underlie more than just the surface metaphoric expression, root metaphors and conceptual metaphors are easily confused. For example: In the United States, both conservatives and liberals use 'family' metaphors for the national politics, though in different ways. Both types of usage would ultimately resolve to "organic" root metaphors in Pepper's nomenclature, while Lakoff would distinguish between several different varieties of the "A Nation is A Family" metaphor.
- A dying metaphor Coined in his essay Politics and the English Language George Orwell calls a dead metaphor one that has been worn out and is used because it saves people the trouble of developing original language to express an idea. It is all but dead. In short, it is cliché. Example: Achilles' heel. Orwell suggests that writers scan their work for such dying forms that they have 'seen regularly before in print' and replace them with alternative language patterns.
The category of metaphor can be further considered to contain the following specialized subsets:
- allegory: An extended metaphor in which a story is told to illustrate an important attribute of the subject
- catachresis: A mixed metaphor (sometimes used by design and sometimes a rhetorical fault)
- parable: An extended metaphor told as an anecdote to illustrate or teach a moral lesson
Originally, metaphor was a Greek word meaning "transfer". The Greek etymology is from meta, implying "a change" and pherein meaning "to bear, or carry".
In modern Greek, the word metaphor also means transport or transfer.
Metaphor and Simile
Metaphor and simile are two of the best known tropes and are often mentioned together as examples of rhetorical figures. Metaphor and simile are both terms that describe a comparison: the only difference between a metaphor and a simile is that a simile makes the comparison explicit by using "like" or "as." The Colombia Encyclopedia, 6th edition, explains the difference as:
- a simile states that A is like B, a metaphor states that A is B or substitutes B for A.
According to this definition, then, "You are my sunshine" is a metaphor whereas "Your eyes are like the sun" is a simile. However, some describe similes as simply a specific type of metaphor (see Joseph Kelly's The Seagull Reader (2005), pages 377-379); in this case, metaphor is the umbrella term for making comparisons between unlike concepts, and simile describes the figure where one makes the comparison explicit.
Usually, similes and metaphors could easily be interchanged. For example remove the word 'like' from William Shakespeare's simile, "Death lies on her, like an untimely frost," and it becomes "Death lies on her, an untimely frost," which retains almost exactly the same meaning.
Despite the similarity of the two figures, the distinction between them is often focused upon when the terms are introduced to students. "Not knowing the difference between a simile and a metaphor" is sometimes used as a euphemism for knowing little about rhetoric or literature and many lists of literary terms define metaphor as "a comparison not using like or as", showing the emphasis often put on this distinction.
Although in practice their use is often synonymous, in a rigorous sense, their meanings can be understood to be quite different. Whereas simile explicitly describes a comparison, metaphor asserts an identity. A simile always expresses something trivially true (anything can be likened to anything else), whereas a metaphor always expresses something patently false (which the listener must then make sense of). In other words, one could argue that when listening to an active metaphor, the listener always visualizes something false before analyzing the phrase metaphorically. On the other hand, a simile requires a different kind of analysis: the listener is explicitly asked to compare two objects rather than being forced to when confronted with an otherwise nonsensical phrase. In both cases, this analysis depends on the assumption that listeners think of the literal meaning first, which is only guaranteed when a comparison is fresh.
There are cases where the use of a simile rather than a metaphor makes a clear difference in meaning or listener expectation. Using a simile as opposed to a metaphor can clarify an analogy by calling out exactly what is being compared. "He had a posture like a question mark" (Corbett, Classical rhetoric for the modern student (1971), page 479) has one possible interpretation, that the shape of the posture is that of a question mark, whereas "His posture was a question mark" has at least a second interpretation, that the reason for the posture is in question. Using a simile rather than a metaphor can add meaning by calling attention to the process of comparison, as in, "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." The point is not to compare a person to a fish, but to ask the reader to consider how the woman is like the fish. Similarly, when speakers wish to call attention to a particularly unexpected comparison, they typically use a simile rather than a metaphor, as in the Magnetic Fields line, "When I'm with you, it's like I'm on the moon; I can hardly breathe but I feel lighter." Finally, similes are often more convenient than metaphors when analogizing actions as opposed to things: "Wide sleeves fluttering like wings" (Marcel Proust) does not translate easily from simile to metaphor. A final difference is that in practice, often-used metaphors can "wear away" into dead metaphors as listeners come to learn metaphorical meanings by rote rather than making sense of seemingly nonsensical assertions, whereas a simile, because it explicitly calls attention to the act of comparison, is not as susceptible to the loss of metaphoricity. Thus, although for fresh comparisons metaphors are typically seen as "stronger" than similes, similes can retain their metaphorical nature more consistently than metaphors precisely because they are not likely to be reanalyzed as secondary meanings of words or phrases.
Metaphors in literature and language
Metaphor is present in written language back to the earliest surviving writings. From the Epic of Gilgamesh (one of the oldest Sumerian texts):
- My friend, the swift mule, fleet wild ass of the mountain, panther of the wilderness, after we joined together and went up into the mountain, fought the Bull of Heaven and killed it, and overwhelmed Humbaba, who lived in the Cedar Forest, now what is this sleep that has seized you? - (Trans. Kovacs, 1989)
