Takin' this show on the road
[8/31/12] Keep your eyes peeled: I'm going to a museum, botanical garden, or some other kind of place with good things to look at today. I haven't picked it out yet, obviously, but I'm in LA, so you know it's going to be good. Stay tuned…
[9/5/12] Update: I know what you're thinking. I must have gone on one of the most epic journeys ever to have promised an update later the same day and only be delivering it several days later. I'm going to let you keep thinking that. And know that in the midst of the epicness, I did go to the Autry, a museum that showcases artifacts & culture from the American West. It's across the street from the Los Angeles Zoo and within the grounds of Griffith Park, home of the famous observatory, hiking trails, and of course the Travel Town Museum. (I've never actually messed with Travel Town — even as a kid I was too cool for that — but others seem to have substantial nostalgia associated with it, so maybe there's something to it.)
At the Autry, the first exhibit I went to was California's Designing Women, a special display which showed a chronological progression of aesthetics spearheaded by various forward-thinking West Coast ladies. My favorites were Cher Pendarvis's surfboard — which was so sleek and looked so buoyant, I wanted to eat it — and the cool teapots, bowls and dishes by May and Vieve Hamilton.
I don't think I know enough about design to really articulate what I liked about the Hamilton sisters' designs. They just seem to satisfy an easily downplayed psychological urge to live a life of purposeful beauty. The colors and the shapes that they chose, and the playful approach betrayed by the location and shapes of the handles and spouts on the teapots, invite a higher quality of home life. For me, there is always something meditative about an object that is not just begrudgingly utilitarian in its shape and materials. The time and attentiveness the artist puts into shaping clay or choosing a shade of paint leaves an impression more ephemeral than and yet equally powerful as the design itself. It's not just the object; it's the fact that someone out there cares enough to have made it beautiful.
Even before going to the Autry, I was recently already considering this idea. I was looking at my bedspread, a vaguely Near Eastern paisely design (that's Persian, thankyouverymuch) that was made in Pakistan (or so the tag says). Setting aside the fact that it was probably factory-made, and even the fact that the design probably originated in an American focus group and not, you know, the mind of a Pakistani craftsman, I look at the distance this good has traveled, the cost at which I obtained it, and the historical significance of the pattern it wears — and I am amazed. It's like a modern-day Silk Road: instead of paying in pounds of gold for bits of exotic coriander and silk, I drove five minutes to the Target in North Hollywood and paid something like $30 for it after picking it out on the Internet and using Target's store locator to make sure they had it in stock. That's all it took.
And the fact that the pattern was one that would even sell — that the aesthetics behind it appeal to Western sensibilities — is another parallel to the Silk Road, and perhaps actually a result of the cultural exchanges it represented. Anyway, I just think it's a cool testament to how far we've come in terms of ease of trade and commerce and yet how we've remained the same in many ways.
Speaking of fascination with other cultures, the next exhibit I went to was Katsina in Hopi Life, where I met the art director for Native Peoples Magazine, who is himself Hopi. He told me the magazine covered the exhibit a while ago, but I couldn't find the write-up on the site…just more reason for you to go check out the Autry, I guess! It actually reminded me of my time in college working on the preservation of the Lenape language(s). The Penn Museum has a permanent display of Lenape cultural artifacts (and modern creations) very similar to the Hopi exhibit at the Autry. Though I didn't contribute to the curation of the Lenape exhibit, I've visited it many times, felt chills when reading the prophecy of the fourth crow, and worked closely with some of the people who did create the art in there…so it was pretty powerful to see the Hopi exhibit and suspect that much of the same love and sacrifice went into its creation.
My last stop at the Autry was morbidly fitting: the Colts, which they keep in the basement. So many guns! The exhibit talked about the crucial role the guns played in American history, but whoever wrote the descriptions was very, very careful to omit mention of who the guns' targets often were: Native people and their food sources. Ah, so that's what they meant by "win the West"…
I hated to leave the museum on such a sad note, but I figured it was better to be true to the fact that there wouldn't be Californian women designers or vaguely apologistic Hopi exhibits if not for the Colt revolver. I was drawn in by how involved the art of killing each other has become. Matt Welch, editor at Reason, has said that any tech advancement you marvel at for its peaceful purposes will also be put to use for abhorrent purposes of force by the government. (He said it better, but you get the idea.) I think that's true only because government is the ultimate organized embodiment of the human drive for force and violence. Don't take this as a "Julie hates the 2nd Amendment" rant — I'm going to the NRA headquarters (for fun) later this month, for Pete's sake. (Yes, I'm excited.) Obviously guns serve us for purposes outside of hunting one another. But I do wonder what the world would look like if people put half as much effort into truly understanding themselves as they do into chasing their perceived enemies.

You and your friends are super-quick to think every single crush you have could be "the one." -- Why don't guys ever seem to think that way?
THE TRUTH: Just because boys might not rehash every single solitary word of every single solitary conversation the way we sometimes do, doesn't mean they don't think about things! Their emotions can be just as crazy-confusing and strong as yours. The difference? They probably don't feel as much peer pressure to be romantically involved.

Out to support the hubby and his bandmates at another Delightful Young Man show on Sunday, I heard the sweet sounds of a band worth mentioning: The Hot Toddies from Oakland, Calif. "The Hot Toddy is a whiskey drink we all really like," said member Erin Skidmore when I asked how the band's name came about. That's inspiration I can relate to.
The Hot Toddies' '60s pop-inspired melodies paired with angelic harmonies make for great listening; pay attention and their wise-cracking lyrics will have you laughing out loud. Case in point: their song HTML. You can check out songs from their album "Smell the Mitten" (I didn't get the story behind that one) on their web page at MySpace, or sample and buy them on iTunes.

Field Report: Allen and Heath XB-14
On more than one occasion, I have built small production studios using small-format mixing consoles. These rooms are rarely used on the air, but inevitably someone in production or management says, "I wish this little console would trigger our CD decks and mute the speakers when we open the mic." It's a legitimate concern, and engineers are forced to use their creative devices to install start closure buttons to trigger playback devices and relays to mute studio speakers. Because of this, I was pleasantly surprised when Allen & Heath unveiled the XB-14, a small-format audio console with cool features galore.
Features for radio
The XB-14 boasts features that complement on-air environments where triggering and remote interfacing are essential. Inputs one through four are mono with three-band EQ (sweepable mids), 100Hz rolloff, input gain (69dB range), pan, aux send, and an on/off button. The on/off button is programmable via dipswitches on the rear of the mixer and can be disabled or permanently on. The mono input channel faders will also mute the control room speakers by simply pulling up the fader.
External remote control on the XB-14 is connected through two DB-15 jacks. All channels have a Mix B that routes the channel to an unbalanced stereo output via RCA jacks, where mix-minus or an additional recording output can be established. The mono channels will accept mic level inputs via XLR jacks and line level inputs via 1/4" jacks along with insert points for outboard processing.
Performance at a glance |
Remote start/stop logic on stereo input channels
Mic channels mute control room speakers USB I/O External monitor input Guest and host headphone jacks Talkback and mix-minus features Rack mountable |
Adding Ma Bell
Two telco channels make the XB-14 unique. Both channels have male and female XLR jacks above the channel strips. Each telco channel features two-band EQ, and a talk button and clean-feed source selector. With the talk button, the user can talk back to the caller off air. The clean feed source allows the user to toggle between routing program audio or AUX send output to the caller. If program audio is selected, the XB-14 automatically mix-minuses the telco channel out of program on the clean feed so the caller doesn't hear echo on the return. The built-in mix-minus feature is truly a unique breakthrough for a small-format mixer. The telco channels also have start switching remote interface logic.
The XB-14 has seven stereo inputs: One, three, five and seven are fully balanced on 1/4" TRS jacks. Inputs two and four are unbalanced RCA inputs and input six is a USB interface. The USB interface is 1.1 and 2.0 compliant and facilitates bi-directional audio to and from a computer. The USB source input is routable to stereo input three. Program, Mix B or aux + mono can be routed to the USB mixer output. The USB interface uses Windows and Mac Core Audio drivers, so no extra software or drivers are necessary. The USB connector is housed above the stereo 4-channel strip. Depending on which input is selected, the corresponding source audio equipment can be remotely started by depressing the on/off button.
Get outta here
As far as outputs go, the XB-14 allows for flexibly interconnecting with all audio equipment. The master section is home to record output, control room speaker output, Mix B output and an external monitor input, all of which are on stereo unbalanced RCA jacks. Main program output is via electronically balanced XLR jacks and includes 1/4" insert points. Mono out is via an unbalanced RCA jack, and aux out is via a 1/4" balanced jack. Two guest headphone jacks and one control room headphone jack are available with separate volume and source controls. Aux, Mix B, USB in and external monitor can be separately routed to the control room speakers and/or headphones. Pre-fader listen can be made available to the guests, selectable on the front panel. A momentary talk-to-guest button allows the user to talk off air to the guests on their headphones. The level adjustment for Mix B is made on a rotary knob just above the main program mix fader, which like the input faders has a 100mm throw. It is interesting to note that unity gain on the input and outputs faders is 0dB and is situated at the very top of the fader. The XB-14 uses a 12-segment LED meter indicating levels from -30VU to +16VU. The meter can also indicate pre-fader listen input levels.

The most important homework before embarking on a kitchen remodeling project is to establish a clear style, a clear direction, which will enable your designer to execute your wishes to your complete satisfaction. Communication is the key. Magazine photos of kitchens or other rooms that evoke the feeling you would like to attain are great aids. Also, a written list of the emotional words you would like to achieve will assist your designer |

We wanted to see what impact detoxing would have on people's daily lives, so we recruited three volunteers for the task.
Liz, Zac and Megan were each given one of the detox kits on review to try out. Throughout the detox, they kept a diary recording their experiences. Some common themes ran throughout.
On completion they all felt the detox they'd tried had had some benefits — Zac felt healthier, and Liz felt she had more energy. But all three agreed that they weren't sure what to put the improvements down to. As Megan said, "It feels like my body is functioning better, but it's hard to tell if that's due to supplements or a better diet, restricting unhealthy foods." So did detoxing have a lasting impact? We checked back with our detoxers two months later, and they each noted that they now try to drink more water and eat more fruit, vegies and healthier food in general. Certainly a positive outcome, but what they learnt was no different from the advice given in every sensible diet plan (or CHOICE food article, come to that). Do we really have to spend $50+ and put ourselves through a probably unnecessary detox program before we take any notice?

During the earlier part of the summer I was enjoying a vacation in Hawaii. I took a peak a my iPhone and I saw a flurry of email about the partnership Oracle annouced with salesforce.com. Knowing both vendors very well my first impression and ultimate conclusion was the annoucement was more about hype then any tangible substance. As I read email and various articles written about it in the press it was very clear no one was actually looking at for the real substance that was in the annoucement. I decided that since the annoucement did not amount to much not to write on it. However, I started getting calls from clients with all kinds of questions such as: "Is Oracle pulling out of the CRM market?," "Will Oracle salespeople sell salesforce.com?" and "Is this the first step in Oracle buying salesforce.com?". Many of the same unfounded conclusions I saw in email. I realized I had to write something to distill really what this annoucment meant, or more importantly what it did not mean. When writing the research I thought about Seinfeld, the popular television show that aired in the 90's in the US. A show or in this case an annoucement about nothing. I suggest anyone who wants to gain a true understanding of the annoucement should read, Oracle-Salesforce.com Announcement Will Have Little Impact on Sales Application Decision Makers.

On bike tours with Gears and Grapes Getaways, groups cycle through the iconic Napa Valley, internationally recognized as one of the nine Great Wine Capitals in the world, and the slightly-more-indie Sonoma Valley, home to nearly every type of grape grown in California.
Groups typically stop at four boutique wineries during the tours, pausing at midday for a gourmet picnic lunch. Those who get tired of pedaling or who want to pretend they're on a stakeout can hop on the shuttle that follows close behind at any time. Guides also take visitors on tours of wineries and breweries in San Francisco proper.
Bluxome Street Winery is a celebration of California winemaking history. More than a century ago, SOMA—then called South of the Slot—was the center of new-world wineries. To pay homage to that legendary time, Bluxome draws upon rustic decor and old-school practices, such as sourcing high-quality fruit from small, meticulously farmed vineyards.
Bluxome also extends its reach to a Balinard vineyard in Russian River. There, three acres of pinot noir clones grow in an organic environment, producing the fruit that composes Bluxome's aromatic, smooth, and electric wines that linger on the palate and pair perfectly with steak.
The last Saturday of every month sees the winery explode into a community-focused farmers market filled with artisan food vendors. Pinot in hand, visitors are free to roam among vendors such as Sinful Salt and Crescent Farm, tasting the honey of Gerard'Z Honeybees and the jam of Grandma's Homemade. This eclectic gathering is perhaps a reason readers of the San Fransisco Bay Guardian named Bluxome one of the Best Wineries in 2013.

Interleukin-15 receptor alpha (IL-15R alpha) is a pleiotropically expressed molecule that chaperones and trans-presents IL-15 to NK and T cells. To investigate whether IL-15R alpha presented by different cells perform distinct physiological functions, we have generated four lines of mice lacking IL-15R alpha in various cell types. We find that IL-15R alpha expression on macrophages but not dendritic cells (DCs) supports the early transition of antigen specific effector CD8(+) T cells to memory cells. After memory CD8(+) T cell differentiation, IL-15R alpha expression on DCs selectively supports central memory CD8(+) T cells, whereas IL-15R alpha expression on macrophages supports both central and effector memory CD8(+) T cells. By contrast, mice lacking IL-15R alpha on macrophages, DCs, or both, exhibit equivalent defects in NK cell homeostasis and activation. These studies define unique roles for macrophage expression of IL-15R alpha and show that NK cells rely upon distinct IL-15R alpha dependent IL-15 signals than memory CD8(+) T cells. Moreover, they demonstrate the diversity, specification, and geographic restriction of cytokine signals.

Helping animals and promoting awareness of animal cruelty is not a new concept. However, homeless animals still do not receive the attention they deserve. Too many warm and caring animals are neglected, abused and eventually euthanized, for lack of homes.In 1998, Jill Wittels opened her arms and home to this cause hoping that she could make a difference. Helping Homeless Animals owns and operates its own shelter. The organization has a "NO KILL" philosophy in respect to it's approach to the animals that it has pledged to support.
Over ten years later, Helping Homeless Animals has helped find countless homes and has saved hundreds of animals from being put down.

The Rake
London, England, SE1 9AG, United Kingdom
"The Rake is my local in London!" exclaims one of the many brewers' signatures sprawled across the wall at this tiny but impressive specialty beer bar on the edge of Borough Market. Opened in 2006 by Richard Dinwoodie and Mike Hill, owners of Utobeer, The Rake is a truly phenomenal hophead haven featuring 10 ever-changing taps and an average of 130 bottled beers from across the globe. Patrons can try to snag a spot in the small, sparsely adorned bar area or head outside to the cozy heated patio to swill perfectly poured pints and munch on market-bought bar snacks.
Insider Tip:
If you have the opportunity, don't miss out on The Rake's specialty beer tastings and brewer events which are as spirited and scrumptious as they are enlightening.

Our very first product at Big Game Hunters was the Hi-Tower, and in the last fifteen years we have sold over 100,000 units of the Giant Tumble Tower games.
This game just makes a party go off with a bang (or a crash as the towers fall over!) The garden jenga game entertains both young and old all day long. One of our giant jenga games will last for years and prove to be a hit year after year.
Since our very first giant tumble towers, we have expanded our range and now sell other garden games such as Croquet Sets which range from simple family sets up to professional wooden sets in solid wood boxes.
Keeping in theme with Giant Garden Jenga, another giant game which is extremely popular now is Giant Connect 4. This garden jenga game is specifically for two players, and can become quite addictive!
The game is based on the very popular game of Jenga, the aim of the garden jenga game is to slowly remove one block at a time and stack this on top of the tower making the tower taller, the tower will continue to increase in height until the tower becomes unsteady and falls over. The person who pulls the last block before it falls or as its falling is the loser, and usually then restacks the tower for the next game. The giant tumble tower which provides the quickest game is the Mega Hi Tower building to a maximum of approximately 1.5 metres.
The name Jenga comes from the Swahili word meaning "To Build" which was Leslie Scotts' invention when she grew up In Ghana, East Africa. Leslie used off-cut blocks from the saw mills to create her game. She replicated this when she had to travel through Africa finishing off her education until she finally settled in England where she marketed her childhood game she invented and so started the life of Jenga. Hasbro now manufacture her childhood favourite and she won 2010 Wonder Woman of Toys Inventor/Designer Award. We have designed our giant tumble towers to live in line with Leslie's dream but have given it a new, larger than life, spin on the game.
There is a range of Giant Jenga Accessories and Spares available, so you no longer need to worry if you lose a block, or require a carry bag to make your game easier to transport.
At Big Game Hunters, wooden garden games are a particular favourite of ours, and we have traditional games like Wooden Skittles which can bring family and friends together in the same way Giant Jenga does.

Employment INSURANCE. I'm sure everyone jumps to pay off car damages out of their own pocket when they get in an accident, rather than turning to the insurance that they pay into every month. EI is no different. The attitude that people have towards it is ridiculous. I'm glad for some changes to the system, like having to prove you're making a reasonable effort to find work, but don't agree with all.

A lot of people abuse the system all across Canada. My daughter was taken ill and is unable to work due to a serious disease, her company sick benefits covered her for the time she was off (almost a year) she got well enough to go back and then took ill again several months later, her company no longer offered the sick benefits in her medical package, so she applied for EI sick benefits and was turned down because she was 11 hours short of the qualifying hours ( a lot more hours are required in a city than in rural areas), but yet people can work just long enough to get their hours year in and year out and are classed as eligible to collect EI while they are healthy and able bodied. The systems sucks big time and I agree that anyone on EI or welfare should be put to work, cleaning up our communities, assisting seniors or people unable to do everyhting for themselves. they should be put to work, shovelling snow or mowing lawns, etc for seniors,or helping them with other chores around their houses that they would normally have to pay someone for. EI or welfare recipients get far more money than some seniors on pensions and most of those seniors have worked really hard all their lives and never asked for handouts and NO I am not a senior yet but I will be one day and I have a full time permanent job and its not a cushy government job either, I work hard for what I have and do not rely on the "system" to pay my bills or put food on the table. I cant afford to drink every weekend or smoke or go to clubs, bingo games, etc as I live from paycheck to paycheck but I pay my bills and feed my family and I get my butt out of bed every morning and go to work. I understand EI and welfare is there for people who need it in "time of need" but too many people abuse it and think its their full time job!!!

Why are they cutting medical transportation? If ambulances and taxi's cost too much invest in vehicles. Hire people on income support with cars to drive people to hospital. Hire people receiving employment insurance to answer the phones. How can the province give away so much and have so little when we all need jobs?

Jon Smith (or John Smith) Surely you are joking when you go as high as 34. My father had to leave home when he was seventeen, as well as his young brothers and their father, to go to the seal hunt to make money. The rest of the year they tended their vegetable gardens, cut hay for the horse that they used to go into the woods daily to cut wood for the Winter (with a hand saw), etc., etc. These days most don't know what "hard" work actually is. If they can't find a job that they "want" just go on EI if they qualify, or better yet, the Welfare System. Any able-bodied person on E.I. or Welfare should be put to work now the Spring cleaning up the utter mess after the Winter. Get them off their backs or butts, but they sure have their cigarettes (butts) also.

When I returned to NL from Ontario in the 70s I had to look for work. I tried Unemployment Insurance or EI and before I got settled away I had to go back to school and upgrade my trade. I had to drive 100 miles to the city look for work document it and by golly I found a job. One I worked for 4 years and the other the rest of my working life. I see no excuse when 18% last year was home and out in Conception Bay they had to bring in foreign workers. They always worked on my dime..but anyhow I got a good pension and full CPP and the sun is nice for a few months in the south.

EI and the Welfare System has certainly created a lot of lazy leeches, who actually feel that the world owes them everything for nothing. Works, though, to their advantage, doesn't it? Imagine.... the rest of us out working our butts off to allow them to live this way. Most of them must be laughing at us, especially while we are out shovelling in the cold while they lie in their warm beds waiting for cheques to arrive for doing nothing. Great example for their children.

The former EI program was discriminatory to real workers and in particular urban workers. I've been paying into EI virtually all of my adult life, except for one very short period of time where I had lost a job through no fault of my own and had to fight like a dog for a few weeks assistance so I could pay my rent and put food on the table. Yet 'round da bay we've got lazy entitled fisherman who work the bare minimum year-in-year-out and then they and their entire families go on benefits and get to live high onthe hog for the rest of the year. Every year. Like clockwork. Compassion for the oppressed fisherman starts wearing thin when you've got these guys on EI every year driving around in brand new trucks as big as Sherman tanks, several ski-doos out back, and a big paid-off house around the bay with virtually no property tax. I say the new EI rules aren't tough enough. If these guys cant make enough money during the fishing season to support their lifestyles I say they should spend the rest of the year out in Alberta on an oil rig.

Metro St.John's & around da bay ppl use the system.I own a home & fair amount of land around da bay...I worked around da bay but due to work shortage did not resort to living off gov handouts.I moved where there was full time employment.Almost everyday here stores & homes are broken into by no doubt those using system.Instead of getting a better education to end up with a good bad job many young ppl steal to support a drug habit.Many here & around da bay work away to support the family.Many here & around da bay use the system.

Gordon Gecko, truer words were never spoken. Great comment. As an educated Newfoundlander who works here and who grew up 'round da bay you have no idea how discouraging it can be. Scraping to get by in University when your peers were racing around on Top EI claims and had never even fished! Brand new Mustang (the bay car of choice) in the driveway and doesn't need to work. The system is disgusting. You wonder why there are disenfranchised youth's out there. Take a look at what some people get just because their Father, Uncle, or Cousin owns a boat.

i beleive in most provinces the min wage is around 10.00 per hour which is about 400.00 a week so anyone who makes over 25,000 a year should be disqualified.

Shocking result. This place is exactly the welfare and handout-dependent place that no one is allowed to say it is...because it offends the professional moochers. BTW, is Danny still planning that province-wide "parade of prosperity" travelling gong show so that we could stick it in the rest of Canada's eyes and gloat that we are now rich and won't be taking any "krap" from them anymore ? No? North Korea took that idea?

How is this accurate that the majority of the province opposes the new rules? It says based on a sample of 1501 Atlantic Canadians. How many of those were Newfoundlanders and Labradorians? This number is nowhere near the majority of the province, very misleading.

Unless you have a health issue or retired there is no excuse to turn down a job.If you have to go back & get extra education in order to get off the system it should be mandated.So many ppl think they should be allowed to live in a town where there is little if any chance of decent work.We have a shortage of skilled workers in Nfld yet many who are ablebodied living off gov..sad lazy culture!

Around 1.50 lakh (150,000) females are drug addicts
around 1.50 lakh female mostly teenagers across the country are taking different types of narcotic items daily. Most of them are student of different colleges, public and private universities in the capital as well as other metropolitan cities and towns.
A source in the Narcotic Control Department said there are around 50 lakh drug addicted people in the country. But in the recent days, the female students are being addicted to drugs and their number is on the rise. According to United Nation survey report some 65 lakh people in Bangladesh are drug addicts. Of them 13 per cent are female and rest 87 per cent are male.
According to the expert, the rate of female drug addicts is increasing due to family feud, frustration caused by failure in love and jobs and bad company. Besides, being curious female students are taking drug when they are engaged in gossiping with their friends on the college or university campuses.
The students aged between 15 years and 19 years are the most vulnerable group, because, at this stage curiosity always grip the teenagers and they want to know and take the test of every prohibited items.
While this correspondent was visiting different spots of Dhaka University, BUET and Dhaka Medical College, found many female students sitting with their boy friends taking cigarettes, phensidyl and cannabis when it is dusk. Even, many female students are seen buying these narcotic items from different spots in the city like Taltola slum at Agargaon, Ashadgate, Moghbazar, Tejgaon Railway crossing, Malibagh, Motijheel, Kataban and Palashi crossing.
Besides, a significant number of drug addicts female are seen taking drug in front of the Institute of Fine Arts of Dhaka University. On the other hand, premises of central Shaheed Minar witness a heavy rush of female drug addicts specially in the evening. They are taking drug under the very nose of the concerned authority.
While the TBT correspondent was visiting the Kataban crossing adjacent to New Market police station found many students from different nearby education institutions searching for phensidyl and cannabis. As most of the retailers of drug have stopped their selling from the known spots, they are communicating over cell phone with their clients.
Apart from these, heroin or brown sugar, beer and clobazam are also being sold there in the presence of law enforcers, Sahidul Islam, a ganja retailer told The Bangladesh Today at Kataban crossing.
While talking to this correspondent a third year female student of Eden Women University College said taking cannabis or phensidyl by the female students have become a fashion. "First time, the youngsters feel thrill and at one stage they become addicts. Later, when they don't have money to buy drugs, they enter into the crime world. Many students of our college, are becoming addicted," she added.

text: Last August, fans of the Colbert Report saw Duke University President Richard Brodhead encourage study in the humanities as essential to a balanced education. The interview segment can be seen here. Brodhead's appearance was part of a marketing campaign engineered by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) that was designed to advance support for the humanities in much the same way that the National Academy of Sciences had promoted Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) with its 2007 report Rising above the Gathering Storm. Brodhead's appearance may have been unusual for taking the case for humanities education to such a popular audience, but it reflected the AAAS's conviction that a national dialogue on the importance of the humanities was necessary to its future.

forgive my geekiness but... Does anyone here have any experience with plant micropropagation? i.e. propagation via tissue isolation -> sterile culture. I have a setup/background knowledge that could be adapted to doing it and was hoping to be recommended some books on the subject, and also to hear about other gardeners' attempts. cheers! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've done it for raising orchid seeds, and for clonal propagation of daylilies. A lot of it depends on getting the right concentrations of auxins and cytokinens, and of course, keeping it all sterile. Except for the orchid seed, which are a special case, it's generally not worth the trouble unless the plant is impossible via cuttings, ofsets, or grafts, or else you want a few thousand of them.

Plants from Test Tubes: An Introduction to Micropropagation (Hardcover) was avaible at Amazon Used Books a few minutest ago for $16.54 - it was once the classic beginners book. A once popular Australian site is linked below. This is one of the sites that recommend the baby food jars which were quite popular a few years ago. I much preferred this over test tubes. |

And The Nobles March…
October 23, 2010 in World 052 News, World News
Welcome to another addition of your world 52 blog. This week, fun has finally arrived! Nobles have made an appearance on our world, and now the better players and tribes will begin to pull ahead. This upcoming week will be one of the most exciting times for the world, as each player begins to try to build there own empire. We know who the first players to noble have been, but who will be next? Will it be you?
Players on World 52
Players This Week: 56,258 + 13,738 from last week (42, 520)
Tribes on World 52
Tribes This Week: 2,906 + 665 from last week (2,241)
Noble Season
October 18th, 2010: 02:34:00 Reduaram conquers 501|481
Five days ago, Reduaram became the first play to conquer a village in World 52. He took a 1200 point village off of 0belix, who elected to restart in the middle of his tribe. However 72 hours after becoming World 52's first nobler, he made this announcement.
Cheerio fellow forumers. Tis high time that I left TW. Unfortunately I have other things to do than spend time here.Perhaps I will see you in the future, perhaps not, I haven't decided yet. But for now at least, I'm outta here. Have fun!-Reduaram
Riptide Reload
The next cap belonged to Riptide Reload (Purple Predator) who nobled the next day. And the next. And the next. Riptide Reload currently sits atop the world with over 11k points, and 6 villages, twice as much as anyone else!
Another big story in the early noblings, mortlikesfarming became the first player to noble a village over 2k points, when he took BlackoutBoys 4k point village.
I was told this dude was going to noble me. But I just cannot believe that cute little mort would do such a thing. Regardless…he can't because as we all know. I am King Julian! -Sneggy, October 19, 2010 10:30:00 STOctober 21th, 2010: 20:11:30 MortLikesFarming conquers 550|648
Up until this point, : P and afjlas were apparently a cuddle-loving family, but with Mort nobling sneggy and kingsam, what does the future hold for this hugfest? Well…
We quit so the family nobled us out…that simple -Sneggy We quit due to RL, and gifted village to mort. -Kingsam Blackoutboy quit, so we took his village peacefully, not many members near him so his brother tribe took it. -MattcurrIs there truth to this or not? Was it all planned by the family, or did Mort just catch blackoutboy off guard?
BlackOutBoy - Opponents Defeated as a Defender: October 21st, 2010: 20 ODD October 22nd, 2010; 12,522 ODD
An ODD rise of 12,000 points on the day they were nobled…
Diagnosis: Sneggy and Kingsam didn't gift their village. It was taken from them.
The World's Development thus Far
These guys have jumped afjlas for the number 1 spot this week, though it is held by a slim margin. With nobling going on, these two tribes should be switching ranks for the next few weeks, unless one of them is involved in a major war, or if one of them disbands. For more discussion on : P, see the interview with Purple Predator below.
2. afjlas
The tribe with the largest spread in the entire world. I recently found out some of the names behind the accounts of this tribe, and they have the ability to maintain that vast spread. These guys held the top rank until yesterday, when : P seized it through nobling. Expect them to bounce back and continue to switch with : P for the highest rank in the world. Both of these tribes have begun to separate from the rest of the competition, and I have been told that they are "One big happy family"
3. Tactic
These guys are in good position, with a spread that spans all of K64. They should remain in the top 10 for awhile, and they can solidify their dominance of their continent very soon. They have the ability to expand in all four directions, with no large tribes near them. I had hoped to contact their leadership for some comments, but everything there is on a "need to know basis", and I "don't need to know". Watch out for these guys.
Not much has changed with these guys since last week. They are still part of one family that is located in one K. Soon their continent will get too crowded and disputes over noble targets will arise – or disputes over the lack of noble targets. With over 100 members in continent 55, most of there members will have no room to expand. It will be interesting to see how they deal with this.
5. Reform
Reform is a tribe that is for the most part located in K45. As : P begins to noble, there could be problems between these two tribes. They are surrounded by : P on 3 sides, and they have the -RIP- family to their south. There is not much room for expansion for these guys – unless they fight for it…

Final Thoughts
The nobles have finally come. We are nearly 1 month into the world, and the excitement is beginning to build. So far only the top players have nobled villages, but by next weeks issue, there should be dozens of more players with multiple villages. Now we even have our very own cow as a moderator. I am always interested in reader feedback, so please feel free to post comments. If you have idea for the blog you can pm me on the forums, or you can contact me on skype @ thedrcox . I'll see you guys again next week, but until then – happy farming.

Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Sylvia, a 34 year old filmmaker currently residing in Sheffield UK, but originally from Belgium. And I'm an atheist. Like most people in Belgium I was raised as a catholic, went to catholic school and even to catholic university, but the more I learned about religion (and as I studied art history, I learned a lot about religion), the more I realised this isn't right. So it became clear to me I was an atheist. No big deal really, it doesn't seem like it is over here.
I came across this site yesterday. I'm in the middle of doing research to hopefully make a documentary about atheism in the USA, where it does seem to be a big deal.
I'm still trying to figure out this site and how to make the most out of it, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, Sylvia! Glad you found us!
Yeah, atheism remains a big deal in the US, both in and out of the bible belt (I'm OUT, thankfully!), and we're working to make atheism more visible and respected here ... an uphill battle, to be sure.
As for navigating this site, it can be a touch confusing, but not too bad once you spend a bit of time. Anything I can do to help, please give a shout.
Welkom! (And that is all I can say in Dutch.... or Flemish) : )
Welcome aboard!
Welcome Sylvia! I'm Melinda, I'm 45, and for now, a homemaker. I live in Northern Illinois in the US. I am ashamed of how prevalent religion and the accompanying stupidity is here. We are not only not progressing, we are going backwards! I feel like Europe is making fun of us, as well they should! It is not easy to be an open Atheist here.
As for this site, it is wonderful! Just join in discussions, ask people you feel you have a connection with to 'friend' you, you will be asked to join groups, etc. Take your time, there is a lot here! Glad you found AN!
Cool! filmmaker do contact ken loukinen and get a documentary on that guy! or american atheists in general serious players in the fight for human rights imho peace!
Thank you for the warm welcome! :-)
I'm sure I'll enjoy this site very much and will learn plenty, and hopefully make some lovely new friends too.
