You are in the wrong forum. I moved two sprouts that were quite large. I ended up needing to cut them back to get them to leaf out. They were certainly set back by the move. This season, I am severing my sprouts and leaving them in the ground until later in the season. An option to moving is taking cuttings. |
when do you suggest moving a sprout? |
I've moved them in early spring and fall and the sprouts suffered both times. That's why I'm severing them from the main plant and leaving them to develop roots. The Rose Forum is a better place for this thread and there are more experienced people to offer advice. |

3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2013 Pictures
3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2013
For Resort 2013, Phillip Lim looked not to exotic beach locales or sun-drenched vacation destinations. Instead, the designer — and recent CFDA Swarovski Award for Menswear winner — found inspiration much closer to home. "I was sitting in my garden, watching the blooms come out," Lim said. The resulting collection is a breezy mix of Lim's signature functionality and cool modernity — covered in a smattering of lush floral prints. "Flutility," Lim explained. "It's about adding blooms to utilitarian forms." But it's not all roses and hydrangeas: the designer also looked to city maps and aerial urban views for design cues, and thus there are graphic grid prints, laminated skins, and lots of slick black leather to temper all the sweetness.

What do y'all do with your sweaters and/or t-shirts? I am talking about the good t-shirts worn under thinner cardigans, etc.
I have sweaters that crease terribly when I fold them and put them on the shelves in my closet. I almost feel like I have to iron them before I wear them, but then some are not really ironing material!!! However, everything I have read says NOT to hang them?!?! Same for t-shirts...do you hang them or fold them, then have to iron them before wearing to remove any creases running down the front? This has been making me crazy for a while now! |
Follow-Up Postings:
T-shirts and lightweight sweaters - hang them but only on hangers with paper covering (the ones from the drycleaners) or other high-quality hangers. Sweaters - I bought the canvas thing that you attach to the closet pole. I fold them and store there. I also purged and gave away the ones I truly never wear, to make room. It can hold about 3 folded sweaters per shelf. If any can't fit, they are folded, then draped over the rod of a pants-style hanger but never actually hung. I got the canvas thing at Target. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Canvas Closet Organizer
I think it really depends on what storage you have available. You can't hang sweaters as cotton or wool knits will stretch regardless of the padding. I don't have any particular issues with respect to knits wrinkling as any folds immediately straighten out. I do hang good cotton (non knit t-shirts on padded hangers. That said, I have ruthlessly cleaned out the stuff I don't wear because squashing things down is going to cause folded stuff to become very crushed -- also jamming stuff together means that I used to create a mess whenever I looked for something. As to where to place folded items it comes down to what you have -- I have an antique bedroom suite so I have lots of drawers so I find it convenient to store folded stuff in drawers. The hanging bags are a good solution if you have excess closet space -- I once used something like that for shoes. If you have excess closet shelf space, you can buy dividers and store folded items there. This didn't work for me as I am short and taking one sweater out created more of a mess. Again, it depends on what space you have but the bottom line is that to keep clothes looking nice you can't squash them together -- whether in a drawer, on a shelf or hanging from a closet :) |
I hang t-shirts...I'm not overly concerned with wrinkles, so I guess that concern never occured to me (I haven't touched my iron in years LOL). Pretty much everything I own is hung...it's just easier, and takes up less space that way. Sweaters - I do hang a few, knowing they will stretch, but I have limited space for folded things, so they just have to hang. Those that I do fold are stored in a dresser in my bedroom...the top of my closet is full of yarn. ;-) |

Hang the t-shirts and the sweaters. It's just so much easier for me to find everything in my closet if it's hanging. I just had this issue recently with pants and never knew what to do with them. Fold flat, roll up or hang? I never really had a good system that worked before, so I decided to find room to hang those in my closet. Hanging works for me! |
Sweaters stretch only if they're actually heavy or a very loose knit. I have good quality all wool sweaters that I always hang (for years) and they don't stretch at all. T shirts on padded or just plastic hangers are perfectly ok too (no wire hangers - paper covered or not). It solely depends on the space you have. I do touch up the creases though (of the items that I do fold due to hanging space limitations)... The amount of wrinkles depends mostly on the material (pure cotton and pure wool crease more) and the drying method (no dryer here, so more ironing to do). Just my 2 cents. Maria |

T-shirts and dress shirts are hung, sweaters are folded and put in the dresser. Fortunately, I have enough room now, but when I didn't, I used to use an inexpensive bookcase for sweaters. |
T-shirts are hung. Sweaters are folded. T-shirts or turtlenecks that I layer under other things are sometimes folded and sometimes hung depending on frequency of use. I rotate my summer and winter things so the things that are hung are things I am wearing most. |

I'm in the group that hangs everything and my closet is pretty small. If I fold it, I probably won't wear it (or find it). (Come to think of it, our house is so small that my drawer space is limited too.) I bought some special hangars that have the big rounded shoulder to keep knits from taking on the pointed shoulder look. Hanging of course does require that you have the closet space. Use this as an opportunity to declutter your closet. I did this recently and it helps a lot. I plan to make another pass at it soon. I recommend it. (Unless you're one of those people who are so organized, you don't need to declutter your closet. If so, then you probably can do anything you want and everything will always look nice and you can always find anything and I envy you.:) |

Rudi's has a great line of gluten-free products. I enjoy their tortillas and stuffing especially. I recently enjoyed developing a fall recipe using the stuffing. I decided on stuffing "cupcake" with piped mashed potato "frosting". Check out the recipe HERE.
Soft, roll-able gluten free tortillas? What, that actually exists?! You bet it does! With Rudi's Gluten Free you can now enjoy a classic tortilla, gluten free. Not only do they have one amazing flavor, but three! These delicious tortillas come in plain, fiesta and spinach. The Fiesta flavor was perfect for tacos and burritos as it had a zesty Mexican flavor. Spinach was a lovely accompaniment to any sandwich wrap and the plain flavor was an excellent canvas for all the sweet treats you can imagine! I spread PB and Jam on mine and cut it into little dessert pizza triangles. A little powdered sugar on top would have been nice if I wasn't on P90X. Speaking of, this is a great P90X food, healthy and delicious!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Inteliquent (IQNT - Get Report) soared after receiving a confidence boost from Raymond James and as the company introduces a new face to its executive team. By early afternoon, shares had jumped 21.1% to $12.79, reaching their highest point since October last year.
Earlier, Raymond James upgraded the voice and data IT firm to "outperform" from "market perform" with a price target of $12.
Also, the Chicago-based business announced it had appointed Kurt Abkemeier as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, replacing interim financial officer Eric Carlson. Abkemeier previously held the roles of Vice President of Finance and Treasurer of Cbeyond and Director of Finance at AirGate PCS.
"Today's competitive market requires a CFO with a superior understanding of the telecommunications industry, as well as the seasoned financial and strategic planning experience that makes Kurt particularly well suited to join our team," said CEO Ed Evans in a statement.
TheStreet Ratings team rates INTELIQUENT INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C-. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate INTELIQUENT INC (IQNT) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, increase in net income and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company's return on equity has been disappointing." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 238.29% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry. The net income increased by 336.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$2.74 million to $6.47 million.
- INTELIQUENT INC has improved earnings per share by 11.1% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, INTELIQUENT INC swung to a loss, reporting -$1.86 versus $0.81 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.66 versus -$1.86).
- IQNT, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 3.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 15.4%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry and the overall market, INTELIQUENT INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Combo Kitchen Units: Save Money & Space With One Handy Kitchen Appliance
Do you have a small kitchen? Do you need a temporary kitchen solution during a remodeling project? Combo kitchens are the compact, convenient solution to fitting all your kitchen needs into a small space. Small areas feel much larger when your space is utilized well, especially when you know how to make the most out of your small living spaces. Find the right compact kitchen for your space, compete with a stove, refrigerator, sink, cupboards, and countertop.
Whether your small kitchen is in an apartment or an RV, you can fit a combination kitchen in a space as small as 30 inches, or you may choose a model that offers a greater amount of counter space. When you fit your important kitchen appliances in such a limited area, you can freely use the space you gain by forgoing the typical size of appliances. Some people enjoy the extra counter space they find when they renovate a small kitchen with the help of a combo kitchen. Others turn a rented bedroom into a functional kitchen in order to gain the additional privacy that is had with their own kitchen. Still others use compact kitchens to help them maintain a normal lifestyle while they renovate their homes. The uses and benefits of combination kitchens are as varied as your unique needs.
You can find a variety of sizes of combo kitchens, with one of the larger ones being a 48 inch model. Even a spacious combination kitchen like this runs off of a standard 115-volt circuit, allowing you to place it wherever it is most convenient for you. The refrigerator and freezer store the food you need for meals or snacks, and a cabinet holds a surprising number of dishes. Most combo kitchen units are made to last, so you can rest assured the quality will be up to par.
They also make compact kitchens with adjustable shelves and attractive, stainless steel sinks. These kitchens are made to look good in whatever space you need to fill, complete with a sleek design that adds a sense of hominess to your surroundings.
The many benefits of combination kitchens make their small price tags shocking. Purchasing individual kitchen appliances alone can get expensive, and then you have to find places to put all of them. If you invest in a combo kitchen, you can save money and a great deal of space all at the same time.

Is it possible to leave dahlias in the ground in z6 (Appalachian Mountains) if planted deeply and heavily mulched with dry leaves contained in a wire cage? I know it sounds lazy, but I am getting older and have health issues that make it harder & harder to dig plants. I am about to get my first dahlia this year - however I am also going to buy a cheapo at Walmart to experiment with, but will dig my first plant (Wyoming Wedding, which I am extremely excited to get!) like I should. Any thoughts for a first timer on this? Thanks! |

There are two keys to getting dahlias to overwinter in the ground in a temperate climate regardless of where you live. 1.) You cannot allow the frost to penetrate to the depth of the tubers. Unlike frost hardy bulbs, daffodils for example, which can actually freeze solid without harm dahlia tubers cannot be allowed to freeze or they will turn to mush and die when they thaw. 2.) The dormant tubers should not be allowed to sit in wet soil. This causes them to rot. So you should be able to get dahlias to overwinter in your climate if you can meet those two conditions. A heavy mulch of leaves is a good idea and I would also recommend covering the leaves with sheet plastic or a cold frame to keep the soil dry throughout the winter. |
- Posted by coatfetish z6 VA. (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 0:00
Thank you for the tips - I will try them out on a Walmart plant to see how I do. I am fortunate to be getting 2 Wyoming Weddings, and I'm going to plant one in the garden and one in a large pot (18" diameter) to see how they compare - then I'll lift them both in the traditional manner. After I see how the experimental "in ground" plant does next year, I may try it with others. Thanks again for helping a newbie! |

Author :al-Muhaddith Muqbil ibnul-Haady al-Wadiee Certainly from the books of which Allah have made easy for me to write as-saaheeh al musnad min asbaab an nuzuul and certainly I praise Allah subhanau, for He has brought from it benefit and it has become a reference in this field. How many times have I returned to it in research, writing and teaching. During the writing I related some hadeeths in following the [main] hadeeth of the chapter without the chain of narration. I wanted in this print of the book to bring the chains of narration [for these hadeeths ] in what has been made easy for me. For there may have been a hadeeth perhaps I related the [main] point of the hadeeth only, so I decided to mention the hadeeth in its entirety. As for mentioning the hadeeth in it's entirety, because of what is in it from the many benefits. As for mentioning the sanad, certainly our Ulema, May Allah has mercy upon them, would not accept a hadeeth except with its isnaad. Al Haafidh al 'Alaae said, may Allah have mercy upon him, in Jamiat- Tahseel pg. 58, and in Saheeh Muslim on Ibn Seereen "They didn't use to ask about the isnaad but when the fitnah [1] came they would say, "name for us your men". So look at ahlus- sunnah and accept their hadeeth and look at ahlul bidah and do not accept their hadeeth". Sufyaan Ibn Uyanah said, Az-Zuhri narrated a hadeeth one day; so I said to him, " Bring it without the isnaad ". So he said, " ascend the roof without a ladder?!" Baqiyah said,' Utbah Ibn Abi Haakeem narrated to us that he was with Ishaaq Ibn Abi Farwah and with him Az- Zuhri. So Ibn Abi Farwahsaid, the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said………., so Zuhri said "Qaatalakaallah"[2] what prevented you from bringing the isnaad of your hadeeth? Will you narrate to us hadeeth without any reigns or muzzle?!" Abdus Samad Ibnul Hasaan said I heard Sufyaan AtThawree say, " The isnaad is the weapon of the believer. So if he does not have a weapon then what will he fight with?" An Shu'ba said, "Every hadeeth that does not have haddathanaa or akhbaranaa [3] then it is herbs and vinegar". In Saheeh Muslim also, on 'Abdaan he said, " I heard Ibnul Mubaaraak say, "The isnaad with me is from the deen. If not for isnaad whoever pleased could say whatever he pleased." On 'Abaas Ibn Abi Ruzma he said, "I heard Abdullah, meaning Ibnul Mubaaraak, say, "Between us and the people is the isnaad." On Ibaraaheem Ibnul 'Esa At-Talaqaani say, " I said to 'Abdullah Ibnul Mubaarak, "Oh Aba Abdur-Rahmaan, the hadeeth if which comes, "Certainly from al birr after al birr is to pray for your parents with your salat and to fast for them with your fast". Abdullah said " Oh Aba Ishaaq, from who is this hadeeth "? I said, " It is from the hadeeth of Shihab Ibn Kharaash ". He said, " He is trustworthy on who "? I said "on Al Hajaaj Ibnud- Dinaar". He said, " He is trustworthy on who "? I said, " He said the Prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, said………." He said (Ibnul Mubaaraak) " Oh Aba Ishaaq! Between Al Hajaaj and the Prophet is a desert that would break the necks of the riding beasts! But there is no difference of opinion with regards to sadaqah". Shu'bah ibn al-Hajjaaj, may Allah have mercy upon him, heard from his Sheikh Abee Ishaaq As-Sabee'i, 'Amr ibn Abdillah, the hadeeth of Abdullah ibn 'Ataa from 'Uqbah ibn 'Aamir in the virtue of Isbaaghul-wudhu. [4] So he asked Abu Ishaaq, "did Abdullah ibn Ataa hear it from Uqbah ibn Aamir?" So Abu Ishaaq became angry at this. Then Mas'ar ibn Kidaam said to Shu'bah " Abdullah ibn'ataa is in Mecca ". So he [Shu'bah] traveled to meet him. Shu'bah said, " I traveled to Mecca not intending Al-hajj but seeking the Hadeeth. I met 'Abbullah ibn 'Ataa and I asked him [about the hadeeth] and he said " S'ad ibn Ibraheem narrated it to me ". Then Maalik ibn Anas said to me " S'ad ibn Ibraheem did not make Hajj and is in Al- Madeenah ". So I traveled to Al-Madeenah and I met S'ad ibn Ibraheem, and I asked him [about the Hadeeth] He said " The Hadeeth with you was narrated to me by Ziyaad ibn Mikhraaq ". Shu'ba said, " So when he mentioned Ziyaad I said, what is this! The Hadeeth began Kufi then became Makki and then Basri! So I traveled to Basrah and met Ziyaad ibn Mikhraaq and I asked him [about the Hadeeth] He said, " Shahr ibn Hawshab narrated to me on Abee Reehaanah from 'Uqbah ibn 'Aamir on the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam. Shu'bah said, " When he mentioned Shahr ibn Hawshab [5] I said, Shahr has ruined it! If the likes of this Hadeeth had been authentic on the Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam it would have been more beloved to me then my wealth and family and all of mankind! Abu Abdir-Rahmaan [Sheikh Muqbil] said, So with this those who leave off the chains of narration from their books and collect the the hadeeths without them are considered doing an injustice to the science [of hadeeth] and to our Salif as-saalih those of whom went to great effort in the pursuit of the chains of narration and traveling for their purpose. So because of this our brothers strive to bring the chains of narration and praise be to Allah have found acceptance amongst the researchers, and all praise is due to Allah Lord of all the worlds. Footnotes [2] Literally "May Allah fight you!" though it is used here as a means of upbraiding to show the severity of narrating on the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam without isnaad [3] Literally "he reported to us" or "he informed us". [4] To make a complete and proper wudhu [5] Muhaddith Al-A'sr Sheikh Muhammad Nasirud-Deen Al-Albaani mentions in Tamaamul-Minnah pg. 166-167: " He is weak due to his poor memory and confusion in his narrations as it becomes apparent to anyone who follows them up and researched the statments of the Imaams [of Hadeeth] about him".

We've all received sample oral rinses to place into kids' goody bags, right? And with the recent rush of back-to-school dental hygiene visits, it makes sense to prepare goody bags ahead of patients' visits in an effort to stay on schedule.
It wasn't until I started doing research for this blog that I discovered how little we discuss or recommend oral rinses for children. Let's go even further with that thought and ask ourselves, "When was the last time any of us who work with children in dentistry didn't just throw a sample rinse in a goody bag without fully knowing the ingredients?"
Here is what we know: We recommend oral rinses for children based on age, current state of oral health, and ingredients, as some parents prefer fluoride-free products.
Children under 6 years of age are not recommended to use oral rinses because their ability to swish and not swallow has not been developed yet. Parents may begin to introduce how to swish and spit as they observe their children brushing. From my experience, that ranges from ages 4 to 6.
Always ask your patients' parents what oral rinse is in their home. If the oral rinse is alcohol-based, it may be best to encourage parents to invest in an alcohol-free oral rinse. If children swallow an oral rinse that has either alcohol or fluoride ingredients, that can have hazardous effects on their health. Next, share with your patients' parents how to show their children how to properly rinse: swishing for 30 seconds and refraining from eating or drinking for 30 minutes afterwards.
Current State of Oral Health
Establishing whether a child is at a low-, moderate-, or high-risk caries and state of gingival health before, during, or after orthodontics can direct you to which products that would benefit your patients with the best results. This includes either an over-the-counter (OTC) oral rinse or professionally dispensed.
Here are some products you can recommend based on a patient's current state of oral health:
Moderate- to High-Risk Caries Oral Rinses
Low- to Moderate-Risk Caries Oral Rinses
Fluoride-Free Oral Rinses
Over-the-Counter Oral Rinses
Professionally Dispensed In-Office Oral Rinses
Sodium fluoride, fluoride, gluten-free, and xylitol are the first 4 key ingredients to inform parents about. Keep a definition of additional ingredients with you so you can refer to it swiftly, as certain ones can cause staining, offer little benefit to children's oral health, while others are used as food preservatives. Review the potential side effects of each ingredient (1) if ingested (2) to oral environment with parents.
When you remain aware of what is in oral rinses for children, you can help parents make informed decisions while starting a new healthy habit for that child's smile!

Last night on "Californication" (spoiler alert!), Hank Moody went out with his best friend's ex. And she was not just any ol' ex — according to his BFF Lew, she's the girl that got away. But on that very same night, Lew snuck out on a date with Hank's ex-wife. Scandalous! Well, (cough), you know, it happens. Back in high school I dated two best friends, one right after the other. What can I say, they were both damn sexy study hall tutors! And honestly, who wouldn't say yes to getting felt up in the library?! But in the end, the boys dumped me to save their friendship. I'm kind of convinced that faux pas is still messing with my relationship karma. So, I have to admit, I was kind of relieved to see even these "Californication" man whores swap ladies like it ain't no thang. It made me wonder how common that sort of situation is…. So, ladies, I ask you this question — have you ever dated a pair of friends?

text: It was back in September when it first happened: I was eating sushi at an outdoor table on a warm summer night with a few friends when I spit out my tuna roll and blurted, "Holy crap! It's almost Christmas!" They reacted like most people would, by cocking their heads slightly to the side and saying, "Actually that's not true at all." Whatever. I get it. I need new friends. But guess what? It's officially December and that means it's finally socially acceptable to go Christmas crazy! What follows are 10 ways to pack as much frantic Christmas energy as possible into the next 25 days.

The social/economic contradictions are different from all others in nature that they apply to humans, and so they describe qualities specific to social /interest groups/social classes, and the resolution would be inside human social structures.
For any unknown social/economic contradiction the spontaneous antagonistic resolution would be with loss of value and resources.
If the contradictions are known, the resolution may be accomplished before the reaching the antagonistic stages.
So it can be stated that the efficient leaders of society should know and resolve the contradictions as they get available solutions, avoiding antagonistic stages or social conflicts.
The study of contradictions in Socialism or in any society has importance beyond the theoretical aspect. The very practical/pragmatic aspect would be the optimization of social relations between classes/group of interest and the correct allocation of resources into society as a whole.
The media manipulation is what the governments do at time to postpone the antagonistic stage until the underlining facts help for a peaceful resolution.
"In each thing there is contradiction between its new and its old aspects, and this gives rise to a series of struggles with many twists and turns. As a result of these struggles, the new aspect changes from being minor to being major and rises to predominance, while the old aspect changes from being major to being minor and gradually dies out. And the moment the new aspect gains dominance over the old, the old thing changes qualitatively into a new thing. It can thus be seen that the nature of a thing is mainly determined by the principal aspect of the contradiction, the aspect which has gained predominance. When the principal aspect which has gained predominance changes, the nature of a thing changes accordingly.
In capitalist society, capitalism has changed its position from being a subordinate force in the old feudal era to being the dominant force, and the nature of society has accordingly changed from feudal to capitalist. In the new, capitalist era, the feudal forces changed from their former dominant position to a subordinate one, gradually dying out.
The proletariat, which is much more numerous than the bourgeoisie and grows simultaneously with it but under its rule, is a new force which, initially subordinate to the bourgeoisie, gradually gains strength, becomes an independent class playing the leading role in history, and finally seizes political power and becomes the ruling class. Thereupon the nature of society changes and the old capitalist society becomes the new socialist society."
Mao Zedong was a Leninist and used the violent way on Chinese population. The points here and next are to illustrate how the Law of contradictions works for Marxists.
In December 1989 the contradiction between Ceausescu's rhetoric and Romanian population starvation become antagonistic and it was solved by the popular uprising stimulated by foreign intervention. At the martial court - moments before the execution, on December 25 1989 - Nicolae Ceausescu said: "foreign forces helped to execute this coup d'etat"
Today the secret intervention is still secret because the master minders and players in that coup are still alive. Should we wait for another twenty years to find the truth? The Revolution was stage played and the void of power was filled by ex communists.
After twenty years Romania is closer to a real democracy because the new generation of politicians wants it and learned at western universities not only at Moscow as previous generations did.
The learning about democracy is a long process and involves the over one million Romanian working in Italy, Spain and England. Some will return home and rebuild a new Romania with skills learned abroad.

The geography of music is a fascinating but understudied field of research in the creative economy. The presence of musicians is a key indicator of a location's thriving creative environment; a signal of openness, diversity and creativity. These attributes manifest themselves unevenly across geography: some cities are specialists and home to one particular type of music, such as country in Nashville, while others host an increasingly eclectic collection of bands and genres such as New York. Music is a reflection of the people within a city and their creative expression. Music adds a large amount to a city's creative attributes. Is there a relationship between geography and music? Or, is it a strategically good decision for musicians to move to a city with a strong scene in their genre or a vibrant, diverse music scene? And are more creative cities likely to specialize and succeed within one type of music or more likely to embody many types of genres? These are questions seldom answered. The goal of this paper is to test current assumptions and theories about established music clusters using detailed Myspace data from 2007, while also highlighting unexpected or emerging clusters of musical activity in the United States.
These data were initially gathered for the report, Chicago: Music City, using a custom algorithm created by Justin Savage. Details about the script and data gathering methods can be found in the report. Building on this initial work, Dan Silver, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus, who also contributed to the Chicago report, brought the data from Chicago to Toronto, and has been analyzing it from a number of angles, some of which were reported on the MPI Music Blog.
These Martin Prosperity Institute White Papers report preliminary descriptive findings using the Myspace data, examining metropolitan areas in the United States across several key variables, including the number of fans, plays, or views a particular genre is home to. The first white paper examines the Myspace data by metropolitan area, and the second by genre. Future research will examine several metropolitan areas in-depth, probing the musical composition of a particular music scene.
About the metrics
Below is a description of the key variables used for these Myspace data which were downloaded from Myspace.com on January 24 and 25, 2007. Myspace is an internationally known website popular for it's social networking capabilities, of which a key use is for musicians seeking to promote their craft. There are over 3 million artists in this dataset, and 325 MSAs (based on 2000 definitions). It is worth noting, however, that a given band may or may not carry enough social credibility to be a band. Other recognized challenges with the data include: fan-generated duplicate band pages for popular bands, fake band pages, or bands sarcastically attributing a fake genre. it is also important to note that data cleaning was limited to addresses — specifically city name. Cities were identified using two digit state abbreviation and matched to a specific county by city name using the US Census Bureau's place name file. Cities that were not matched directly, were next matched using SAS's 'soundex' routine to match based on pronunciation, finally, all city names that had an identified state and were used 25 or more times, were manually investigated and matched to a US county when possible. Counties are then used to identify metropolitan areas.
- Bands: The name of the band is as it was displayed on Myspace. It is important to note that not all bands are open to viewing, which can reduce the amount of data received. Also, most of the bandnames have odd characters in them, which is something Myspace allows them to do.
- Plays: Myspace allows the band to post their music on the website and allow users to listen. The number of times users have played a band's music is recorded under "Plays."
- Views: This is how many times a band's Myspace page has been viewed.
- Fans: On Myspace, each band acts an individual user. While a user has "friends", bands have "Fans." This is only the number of fans on the website.
- Genre: Myspace allows a band to select up to three genres. On the page, they are displayed as Genre 1/Genre 2/ Genre 3. If the user chose to only enter one or two genres, the empty ones say "none". This variable is the type of music the band self-identifies as. In this paper, genre is measured in two key ways. First, for a given location, the top twenty-five genres in that metro can be examined. Second,using the Ennis (1992) typology, we will present simplified genres.
- City and State: This is the specified city and/or state. In a fair number of cases, users did not enter a city and/or state, or entered something that cannot be interpreted into a city and/or state except on a case-by-case basis. Of 2,485,564 band pages that were identified as being in the US, 2,331,357 were successfully matched to a US county. Of those, 154,207 were matched by 'soundex'. Over 93.8% of bands were matched by city and state to a county.

With all the hype leading up to Microsoft's massive update to its new latest operating system, no one would blame you for wanting to get Windows 8.1 on your machine ASAP. But before you do, you might have to ask yourself if it's right for your machine right now.
User reports have been surfacing all over the place about problems mostly caused by driver incompatibility issues, though some companies have been proactive about making sure their latest drivers for 8.1 are available for download at launch.
While there are some compelling arguments for updating now, there are also reasons you might be better off waiting until drivers for all your important apps and services are updated for Windows 8.1.
No direct download
In an unusual turn of events, Microsoft is not making Windows 8.1 a direct download. If you're already on Windows 8, you have to go to the Store app and (hopefully) see a big icon telling you that you can update it for free. If you're on a Surface, you should also be able to download 8.1 from the store.
While the update is free for current Windows 8 users, Windows 7 users will have to pay for it. It's £100 for the standard edition and £190 for the pro version, which adds corporate networking and remote desktop capabilities. You can even purchase the DVD from stores carrying boxed versions of Windows if you'd rather not download it from Microsoft.
More after the break...
5 good reasons to update
The biggest hoo-hah about the 8.1 update is the 'return' of the Start button. In truth it means you can choose to login straight to the Desktop mode instead of being greeted by the Windows Metro interface. Nice, but not quite the Windows 7-esque hierarchical menu we were hoping for.
Other neat features:
- Better search. Microsoft's worked some magic with Bing and integrated it into the Search on Windows 8.1 so it really feels like a good alternative to Mac OS X's Spotlight.
- Better multitasking. Before, if an app was in 'Windows 8 mode', you would have to alt-tab out of it to use another app. Now you can snap up to four apps at once to your screen at the same time.
- A new Apps screen view. This allows you to see all your apps in one place with a click of a button.
- Internet Explorer 11. Some of you might still dread the thought of using IE, but you shouldn't: the new version is excellent. You can now have side-by-side browsing of websites: pretty damn cool.
Reasons to be cautious
Even if your current machine is running Windows 8 just fine, there is no guarantee that all drivers working in Windows 8 will work in Windows 8.1. That is a serious flaw - you can understand why there might be driver incompatibility for older Windows 7 drivers, but for an update to break Windows 8 compatible apps and drivers is a bit daft.
During the installation itself, the software checks your system but it can only really detect if your hardware meets the requirements but gives no real indication whether or not all your apps or drivers will work once you install 8.1. So you should probably do a little investigative work yourself.
For example, musicians and other people who use Roland audio software shouldn't update to 8.1 as the company has announced that it has yet to make its software compatible for 8.1, despite having previously created drivers for Windows 8.
On the other hand, most mainstream software and hardware providers have been working to ensure compatibility already. Both ATI and Nvidia have 8.1-ready drivers, which you can download straight from their websites. So before you get all excited about Windows 8.1, do a quick search to make sure your machine is ready for the update, or be prepared for things not to work, especially older software or drivers.
Windows 8.1 is a step in the right direction for Microsoft, addressing user complaints and making the OS more desktop PC-friendly. If it works on your machine, you're going to like it a lot. Stay tuned for a full review.

@Johnbur - Yeah just stick to windows 7. I upgraded my laptop to windows 8 when it first came out, had loads of issues getting it to work in the first place, and its no more useful to me than windows 7. It'd be a different story if I had a touchscreen though I'm sure.
Also, if you don't have a touchscreen and are thinking about buying a leap motion controller to make up for it, don't bother, I wish I'd never wasted my money on that thing. The technology just isn't up to scratch yet, it's got a nice novelty factor for a short while but you soon realise it takes you much longer to do simple tasks. I just gave up bothering to use it after a while, and now I've got an £80 paper weight wishing I had a touchscreen.

Dreadful driver problems so far, even the NVIDIA one as above doesn't appear to work properly - my second display won't work at all and laptop screen has resolution issues. Guff. Avoid.

NEW YORK (AP) - The stock market is ending little changed as investors absorb a mixed batch of corporate news and anticipate lower oil prices.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose eight points to close at 16,073 Monday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index eased two points to 1,802. The Nasdaq rose three points to 3,995.
DaVita HealthCare Partners rose the most in the S&P 500 index. The dialysis services provider said that Medicare reimbursement rates won't be as bad as expected next year. The stock rose $5.01, or 9 percent, to $61.55.
World powers and Iran reached a deal Sunday to curtail that country's nuclear ambitions. One impact could be increased oil supplies.
Traders anticipated more supply and lower oil prices, making the energy sector the biggest decliner in the S&P 500.

Have you seen those YouTubes of twin babies talking to each other, and it doesn't make any sense but they're communicating?" Corey Knapper asks. He and his brother, Jesse, are like that. At 24, they still have a secret language of gasps and glances, as well as a secret gang of cartoon friends.
They're inseparable. They make art together, work together and live together in southwest Denver. In their downtime, they play disc golf together, and they're thinking of signing up for a tournament: They think they'd make a killer doubles team.
The Knapper twins are identical. Most people can't tell them apart by looks, personality or speech. Rooms are "raging," and folks at Phish shows are "faded"; "It's all good" is one of their favorite phrases. Both dress in baggy graphic tees and loose-fitting jeans. But the Lakewood Police Department was able to find distinguishing characteristics: According to investigators, Corey has a "casual" appearance, while Jesse has a "sloppy" one. Their hair and facial hair are always changing, too. That's Corey with the heavy mustache in the Wheat Ridge mug shots.
Being teenagers in Phoenix was so boring that the Knappers made their own fun by skateboarding off rooftops and videotaping the antics. Then they decided to collect some cash by designing T-shirts that they'd sell at parties. "You'd wake up in the morning with your pockets stuffed with cash and say, 'I hope I didn't fuck up last night, because I don't have any shirts left!'" Corey remembers.
Their parents told them they needed to get serious. While this admonition would put many nineteen-year-olds on the nine-to-five treadmill, the elder Knappers were okay with their sons going to art school. So after a couple of years at an Arizona community college, Corey and Jesse packed up their 1994 Infiniti and headed to Colorado, where they enrolled at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in 2008. While Jesse studied communications and design, which he shorthands to "graphic design," Corey majored in fine arts; both maintained near-4.0 GPAs.
During winter break in Arizona last year, the twins decided to create a gang of cartoon characters. Playing off "It's all good," they wondered what kind of character Saul Gud might be. For a while, a drug-addicted but chipper homeless man Corey had met on East Colfax was the top contender. But when the pair decided that Saul sounded biblical, it clicked instantly. Jesse Google-imaged "religious Jewish man," then vectorized one of the images that came up. Saul Gud, a Hasidic Jewish man with a strong nose, a snazzy hat and an impressive beard, was the first member of the Slang Gang.
Slide show: Meet the "Slang Gang"
Other characters soon followed: Pho Reel, a smiling, bearded Asian man; Ray Jin, a gym-rat juicehead with bleached tips and a snarl; Fay Did, a girl who's enjoying the effects of MMJ to the fullest; Buzz Kill, a domineering cop who does not look amused; Saight, a seeing-eye dog; Kay Pasha, a seductive Latina girl; Das Kuhl, a beefy German man; and Klee Che, a spoof of the iconic Che Guevara image that the twins were so tired of after three years in art school.
Accompanied by the Slang Gang, they returned to school with new energy. Corey had signed up for a street-art class taught by associate professor Sandra Ceas, the former interim chair of art education at RMCAD. Ceas saw that street art had turned away from gang-related messages to become a free and public medium for the purposes of beautification, awareness and humor. So in November 2010, she proposed a street-art class to RMCAD administrators. They approved it right away, she remembers, "which was kind of surprising, since it was quite cutting-edge."
By then, the school had received a lot of student requests for such a class. "Street art is an important part of the art world, and increasingly so," notes Karen Wachtel, RMCAD's director of communications.
Still, there's plenty of confusion over the role of street art.
"A lot of students did take the class thinking it'd be a graffiti class, and right away I said, 'It's not about graffiti. It's not about vandalism. It's about having a public voice,'" Ceas recalls. "And right away, the students responded in tune with that."
The legality of street art — or lack thereof — was often a point of discussion in class. Laws pertaining to graffiti, vandalism and other related activities in Jefferson County and the city of Denver were posted on the class's Digication portal, a website that students could access that included a syllabus, homework assignments, readings and other course-related materials. Although Ceas never required students to break laws for the sake of the class, she didn't discourage it, either. "Even though if you were to technically say, 'You are making art on something you do not own, you are vandalizing,' the students who are artists and want to work in this genre are saying that we should have equal rights to a voice in public," Ceas says. And so she asked her students questions like: What's the responsibility that goes with doing this sort of work? And, even, am I willing to get arrested for it?
Aha! I finally figured something out. Its against the law to leave your car running on your own property. Its called puffing and the cops don't want to be chasing car thieves so the onus is on me to make their job easier. Instead of the car thieves being the criminal and my insurance company the heavy if they don't insure me for doing something so stupid all of a sudden I am the lawbreaker for leaving my car running on my driveway. (Which I don't do but its a stupid ordinance just the same...)
Now I understand it is so they can spend the time and resources chasing down cartoonists and manhandling the dangerous hoodlums.
I feel so safe and ahem... (this is hard to write) free now.
So these guys and the art they were posting is deemed worthy of that kind of investigation, but the people that like to smoke crack, piss and shit, and pass out wasted in my alley are just part of the neighborhood? Great priorities.
It is so interesting that two entirely different drug task force could only do enough undercover research to catch two twin artists!!! Because you can't catch 'em if you can't call on the phone and get 'em to come to you---rite? ...and they have to look alike because if they aren't twins ----hell that's more work!
Damn 4 Real??? Finally a job for High school dropouts!!!!
...And I bet none of them were smarter than a fifth grader!
We should all feel protected and served!

I started reading this and when I saw the words "Wheat Ridge Police" I had to laugh The Pigs that rome the Mean streets of that bustling metropolitan have nothing else better to do. You have to remember this is the same city where the DA tyred to prosecute an 80 year old man for protecting his property from to illegal immigrants. In the police departments defence though art comes in many different flavors. Chocolate, Jelly Filled, Glazed and the ultimate Bear Claw. There interpretation of an art gallery comes in the form of Winchell's, Krispy Kream, and Dunkin Donuts. Wow you sure showed these Artest whoes boss. There are worse things these guy's could be doing.
They should HIRE these talented artists because Denver and Tucson could both use a bit more art in their lives....
And I laughed my ass off at the names of their characters. These young men have an amazing future ahead of them and I truly hope they become rich from their art.
And, fuck the "gang task force" who wasted the taxpayers' money on this witch hunt. Just shows how completely out-of-touch authorities are with what's REALLY going on around them.
The Gang is Ray Jin. If you get twisted by this you are a Buzz Kill. What was done was not malicious, it was done in fun and Saul Gud.
Thank you for Saul .Ray,Fay, and Pho I take them to work with me everyday.After 39 yrs working in an acute care setting in a hospital, these characters help me do my job
I hate cops!!!! Why don't you do some real police work, you wannabe detectives!!!
What a fucking joke.
And to RMCADstudent: You're just as much of a douche bag as those cops!
Keep following your dreams Jesse & Corey!!! I like your work.

I can't believe that so much time was wasted by the police over this. I loved seeing these posters around town, they made me laugh every time. I'm glad that Corey and Jesse are just rolling with the punches and that this didn't discourage them from pursuing their dreams. I'm also happy to see the school being mentioned, I'll be graduating from RMCAD in the spring, it's a great place to be.
Great job, assclowns. Youve succesfully made our school look EVEN worse, for putting up your shitty posters all over town and getting caught too. I still see the remains of the posters daily, they do not biodegrade nearly as fast as you said. I know a few other people that should have almost positively gone down with you asshats too, but whatever.
So, how's about a pic or two of the art posters in question? Or a link? I can barely see the tiny pic, and can make out barely half of the one behind the pic of the two of them...wtf?
Nobody likes you. You can't draw for shit. You're mad jealous because you're an obscure nobody. And you just used BOTH the words assclown and asshat. Who's the fucking clown now you corny bitchmade whiteboy.
And don't forget, you're a pretentious art student. Nobody gives a fuck what you think kid.
I think they make the school look good, and you just look like a douche for whining and bitching. Therealtrickjames said it best: Jealous much?
First of all, the only people that make our school look bad are the spoiled and lazy students who show up on a free meal ticket, boasting of talent that's yet to be seen all the while expecting their world and degree to be served to them on a fucking golden platter. These are the assclowns that continually produce the idiosyncrasy that make our school look bad. What have you done lately to represent RMCAD?
Jealous much? Your not known all over the city and your mediocre "art" will never be known. Don't hate fool.
I just added those links -- check this one out: http://www.westword.com/slides...

My parents had a contractor install a new shower a couple years ago with a custom made solid surface pan and tiled walls. They have just discovered that it leaks (to the living room ceiling below), due to a nearly invisible crack in the base. They had the contractor come look at it and he's scratching his head saying he's never had that happen before. No solution has yet been proposed. Any advice I can provide my parents on how this might be fixed? |

I would think the base cracked because it isn't properly supported. It has to come out. |
- Posted by Trebruchet (email@example.com) on Wed, Oct 16, 13 at 13:39
It doesn't have to come out. Hot melt a straight edge to the bottom of the pan adjacent to the crack. Route a dado over the crack and almost through. Cut and fit a color and particulate matched piece into the dado making a snug fit, but loose enough to allow color matched methelmethacryate adhesive. Apply adhesive to the male and fit it in. It should be just proud of the pan. When the adhesive has set, hot melt blocks to the router bottom and route off the excessive glue and material. Sand and finish. Check the rest of the pan for hollow spots by tapping gently but firmly. If you find any, drill the pan, inject epoxy and fill the hole with color matched material and adhesive. Sand and finish. Make sure the drain opening has all edges sanded smooth and all tool marks removed too. Post some pics. |

OK, my bad. Apparently it's granite, not solid surface. I live a few states away, so was going on (bad) memory. This brings to mind SFH's recent thread with the cracked soapstone shower base.... |
- Posted by Trebruchet (email@example.com) on Thu, Oct 17, 13 at 11:50
It may be possible to do a repair similar to the one previously described, but the appearance would depend on the "movement" in the granite, if any. It may be worth a shot before tearing that thing out. |
- Posted by srosen (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Oct 17, 13 at 19:25
Post a pic-Like Trebruchet said it just may be possible. Granite are usually grainy composition and crack repairs have the potential to look worse then the crack. |
- Posted by weedyacres (My Page) on Thu, Oct 17, 13 at 21:00
I requested a photo from Dad, but he hasn't sent it yet. My recollection is that it's a granite-look pan (small, even pattern, not lots of movement); hence my recollection of it being solid surface. |

The County Town will be like the scene from a sci-fi film this weekend, as dozens of characters take to the streets for a comic convention.
The seventh Demoncon event will be held at the Royal Star Arcade in High Street, Maidstone, on Sunday.
Last year, costumed characters from the Star Wars 501st Legion caused a stir as they wandered about the town meeting shoppers and encouraging them to visit the event, which this year is larger than ever.
Some 50 artists will be there sketching visitors and among the comic world stars taking part will be Transformers legends Simon Furman and Geoff Senior, who were responsible for the original 70s creations. Their modern day counterpart Nick Roche will also be flying in.
Doors open at 11am, with the main event lasting until 4pm, before things get started again for an after party in the evening including music from One Day Elliott and Go-Zilla.
The event is organised by the Grinning Demon store in the High Street. For details visit www.thegrinningdemon.com. Tickets will cost £5 or £6 on the door.
