I am looking to purchase more heirloom seeds this year. The past two years I have planted Turkey Craw beans which we love. Actually we love them so much our family of 9 (6 hungry, growing boys and 1 girl) eats them faster than I can grow them. I have planned to save enough seeds to propagate them but we end up eating too many of them. So here I am again, with less than 100 seeds to start the growing season again! Oh well. I am also looking to buy Sugar Lump tomato seeds and som Sweet Mountain Yellow watermelon seeds. I cannot find everything at the same store. Am I missing a store? I hate to buy from different companies. The shipping can get quite high!
1. Is there a favorite one stop shopping on-line store for heirloom seeds.
Thanks! |

It is a challenge to find one store stocking all the varieties one wants. Rarely will you find that desired variety, especially heirloom, in the one catalog along with all the others. All the more need to select the seeds you want for the next year; talk about a shipping saving. ha ha Even finding a good source with great diversity can be missing one special variety you want. Research can narrow your ordering. Find two sources having the great percentage of your wants. Try a seed saving group or start trading. The greatest realization with heirlooms is the ability to save seeds. Educate yourself about selection, collection, cleaning and storage. Save your cash for other things. |
I'm chuckling because I'm also a homeschooling mom in 7a (I'm in PNW). I would suggest that before you go to buy your seeds, why not see if someone has those varieties to trade on gardenweb? If you aren't wed to those particular kinds of watermelon and tomatoes, drop me a note. I have some Katanya watermelon seeds and some bloody butcher tomatoes I'd be happy to send you. Also, are you growing peas? My kids eat them before I can get them out of the garden. I've given up trying to get a strawberry in the house. My seed supplier of choice is rareseeds. They are heirloom only, and I prefer that because I can collect the seeds. I can all our tomatoes for sauce, etc... On the tomato forum, they suggest that you use something other than paste tomatoes for canning because apparently paste tomatoes aren't as tasty. To be honest, we can't really tell, but I grow stupice and bloody butchers because they are super productive and grow well in our short season. |

You are getting started in a healthy direction. Here are a few places to explore. Seed Suppliers is on my website and is just a huge list of suppliers. From this list, check out: Sandhill Preservation That is a pretty good list of the better heirloom seed suppliers. DarJones |
Thanks for list of companies! I am systematically going through them! @CarolynP I sent you an e-mail. Thanks for the offer! Michele |
I've had great experiences with many heirloom companies so far, Baker Creek is a gem, you CAN find packets of varieties they sell a bit cheaper elsewhere but prices are generally comparable all around. We had excellent germination though, buying mostly their tomatoes we had probably 100% germination of those while our pepper plants didn't do as well but that just might have been us. A company here in Maryland for tomatoes is http://www.heirloomtomatoes.net/ I got Chesapeake and Sioux beefsteak tomatoes from them and they did VERY well. I hate shipping too, try to order from places as close to you as possible! Best, Max |
Michelle, here's an idea for you, for saving bean seed. I don't know what kind of trellising system you use, but why not dedicate something just to seed? Here's what I do: I grow on cattle panels. Anything on a cattle panel is "open game" for picking. I grow on single poles. My family knows to ask if it's okay to pick. I grow on a tripod. The family knows not to pick it. Tripods are for seed. You could do something like that. Depending on the variety a tripod will sometimes yield a quart of seed. I like to have plenty of seed to grow and share with others. We home schooled our three kids. They have done very well in college. George |

Hazzard's wholesale seeds has over 7000 varieties of seeds including 2068 varieties of vegetable seeds. But trouble is you have to buy large packs of seeds, typically 100 to 5000 seeds in a pack, so it isn't good for someone who only needs a few seeds. You also have to pay $5.95 shipping so again not good for someone who only needs a few seeds. But if you actually can use a large quantity of seeds their price per seed is about a third of what other online and mail order vendors charge. |
I used to buy from Baker Creek. They have a great selection, however they also have a lot of incorrect seed variety issues. They also have low-germination issues with other vegetable varieties,especially Lettuce. They are Anti Government except when it comes to the Govt."Rubber-Stamping" their low germination rates. They also sell daylength sensitive plants but don't bother pointing this out to customers. I live in S.CA so I can grow these but most people in the country cannot. This is irresponsible. I no longer buy from this company. Sandhill Preservation also has a lot of incorrect seed variety issues. Glenn Drowns, owner was on of the people responsible for the ouster of Kent Whealy of SSE and stealing his lifes work. I avoid this company like the Plague. Seeds of Change is now owned by M and M/Mars Corporation. They have incorrect variety issues as well. They are currently closing their farms, which used to produce their own seed because of "profit margins" and will simply be reselling seeds produced in India,Thailand and China. I avoid this company as well. I have no problems with shipping fees and order from dozens of companies. I buy a mineral compound called Azomite from a place in Grass Valley in Northern CA.,weighs 44 lbs. The shipping cost to Los Angeles is $12.00. How they do this so cheaply is beyond me! |
Hoover67, I'd be very careful before swallowing the above commentary. I don't have experience with Seeds of Change, but the others are good companies. George |

macmex, thanks for posting that link. I don't like my joyous winter seed shoping sullied by gray clouds. That cleared the weather a bit! |
I buy from Baker Creek (rareseeds.com) and I haven't had any trouble with my seeds. The service is excellent and the shipping is always $3 no matter how much you buy. If you should have a problem with any of their seeds or product, you owe them and yourself a phone call or letter because they will do whatever it takes to make it right. I really believe that most companies want good customer relationships and to ensure that their products/seeds are as stated. They are often quite generous when "fixing" a problem. I think it is wonderful that so many are interested in growing these older varieties. I like to add new varieties (to us) in the garden each year. I can vouch for making sauce from a variety of tomatotes rather than paste tomatoes. I oven/grill roast them and then freeze them as sauce or whole. Once you have made sauce or soup from roasted heirlooms, you may never go back to romas. |
I'd like to vouch for Bakers Creek as well. For the past two years it's been where I've purchased all or most all of my seed - and I grow a lot of different varieties (over 80 this year). Their website is one of the best (though there's lots of enhancements I'd like to see made), they have a beautiful catalog they put out, the prices are good, and the selection is one of the best (they ship fairly quickly too). They're not perfect by any means, and I have occasionally gotten a packet of seeds who's germination was a bit less than perfect, but I figure everyone of this nature will have at least a few issues and overall I'm quite pleased with Bakers Creek. |

I like Baker Creek as well. Good selection, fast shipping, and good seed packaging. Seed Savers Exchange is great as well - good forums over there too. Heirloom Acres is all right, I've had some issues with them as far as packaging, shipping and communication goes, but their seed is good and they have a good selection. However, I probably won't be using them again. |
Vermont Bean and Seed has a good amount of heirloom bean varieties, and some others as well. |

In the past I've ordered from Baker's Creek, Seed Saver Exchange, Fedco, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange and Sandhill Preservation. I've had good experiences with all of these companies. |

I love Baker Creek, but Heirloom Acres is horrible!! I ordered, was charged, and never received 3 packs of seeds, nearly didn't get the rest of the order, had to blast them on facebook to get there attention, no emails were answered until then. I'm not the only one either, lots more bad reviews online for them. |

Although Heritage Harvest Seed is a Canadian source, they do ship to the states. Lots of heirloom veggies. Annette |
With the strong Canadian dollar right now I found Baker Creek was a major score. They had all the seeds in my fussy list all under one roof. They're growing like gangbusters too and have really good shipping rates. I am a fan! (I even 'liked' them on facebook, now how cheezy is that!) |
I've never grown heirlooms. I've wanted to, but I've been afraid of disease and wilt problems, not being hybrids. I'm almost ready now after a really bad corn crop from Ferry Morse. |
keeping the soil, and thus the plants, super healthy will help them withstand a lot. There are also certain pests thar=t are attracted to weak plants; they give off something that those pests can detect. sort of like wolves or jackals singling out the weakest in the herd to bring down. In addition, read about companion planting. That can also go a long way. |

Orange Banana Tomato from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds is my favorite heirloom paste tomato for sauce. It's delicious eaten fresh, as well. It looks like they might have your Turkey Craw beans, too (see link below)! They're sold-out, though. You can check back this winter and be the first to buy them. :) Postage is only $3.00 at Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. They have excellent customer service as well. I think they are the closest you'll get to "one stop shopping". Also... make sure you check-out all their wonderful melon varieties! Oh! I almost forgot... you get a free pack of seeds (their choice) when you spend over $10.00 (I think it's $10.00... you might have to ask them). |

We have two research groups:
New Families
We investigate parent-child relationships and the psychological well being of children in new family forms. These include lesbian mother and gay father families, solo mother families and families created by assisted reproduction procedures such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), donor insemination, egg donation and surrogacy. We look at the experiences of these families and the social, emotional and identity development of the children.
Social and Cognitive Development and the Family
We investigate children's relationships within and outside the family in relation to their developing socio-cognitive skills. In particular, we are interested in social influences and consequences of early individual differences in 'theory of mind' (the awareness of one's own and others' thoughts, feelings, etc.) and in executive functions (the higher order processes that underpin flexible, goal-directed behaviour).
Genetics, Health and Families
The research interests within this group have evolved over the life of the Centre to enable research to be relevant to current concerns in health-related research into families. Previous and current research has addressed various psycho-social aspects of pregnancy and neonatal care; inherited genetic disorders; organ transplantation; and end-of-life care. The impact of new and changing technologies impacts all of these research areas. Work is carried out within a clinical context and with clinical collaborations and addresses crucial ethical and policy related issues.
We have close links to the Applied Developmental Psychology Research Group directed by Professor Michael Lamb, and ReproSoc directed by Professor Sarah Franklin.

Easter Eggstravaganza
The Zoo Easter Eggstravaganza is an annual event that welcomes more than 2,000 visitors to a prize-filled fun day. More than 30,000 eggs are placed around the zoo pavilion in a series of age appropriate egg hunts. A prize can be found in the egg that can be redeemed at the prize table. This event, held Saturday prior to Easter Sunday, is presented by the Zoo Society in partnership with The Radio People.
At the Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo we have many things going on from annual events to education events such as Roar and Snore Zoo Sleep-over's.
Ride & Roar
Motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the region have a great day getting together for this fund raising road rally that begins, for some, even the night before as they camp right on zoo grounds. Food and music add to this festive occasion that brings riders to a "poker run" for the zoo. Local businesses like Marsala Beverage, also get in on the action and a custom designed t-shirt is always part of the bargain.
Boo at the Zoo
Every year, on the Saturday before Halloween, the Zoo Society and zoo staff decorate the zoo for a fun, candy-packed, costumed event as a safe, family friendly alternative to trick-or-treating. In addition to "candy stations" sponsored by local businesses and organizations, there are costume contests for kids from infants to pre-teens.

The dictionary is an evolving publication. Words are added and dropped each year.
With that in mind, I have a few suggestions that I think would be helpful for parents.
Some of these entries are new words for things I often do or use but have no way to define. Others are alternate definitions for existing words.
All of this is in an effort to be a better parent ...
It's probably best to simply provide examples. Here are a few things I'd like to see added to the dictionary:
muddle: noun 1. a small puddle that's saturated with mud, esp. of rainwater on the ground: Peter stay out of that muddle. You're wearing your good shoes.
rebag: verb (rebags, rebagging, rebagged) 1. to reuse a decorative bag given to your child on his or her birthday: Think Michelle will notice if I rebag this gift for her son's birthday?
blooder: noun 1. an informal term for a bloody nose: Dad, I've got a blooder. Bring a towel! ORIGIN early 21st cent.: term coined by Peter V. Ludwig (2006 — present), a frequent nosebleed sufferer.
crumbs: noun 1. small pieces of food and dirt that stick to your feet while walking barefoot through the house: We've got to sweep this floor. I keep stepping on crumbs. 2. remnants left in the toilet after the first flush: Bubba, flush the toilet again. You left a bunch of crumbs.
convenient jam: noun 1. an opportune traffic jam occurring at naptime: After swimming we got stuck in a convenient jam. Everyone in the back seat fell sound asleep.
iSitter: noun 1. the use of an iPad, iPod or other personal electronic device as a last-minute distraction: I resorted to the iSitter so I could finish washing the boys' bedding on Saturday.
crunchpet: noun 1. the rough piece of carpeting leftover after cleaning a particularly ugly spill or mess: I sopped up the puke from last night, but there's still a nasty section of crunchpet.
staging hour: noun 1. the period of time before children wake up each morning: I like to have a cup of coffee and read the paper during the staging hour.
late over: noun 1. a play date held in the evening hours, modeled after a sleepover but instead of spending the night children go home about 9 p.m.: Have David wear his pajamas and bring a sleeping bag for the late over on Saturday night.
shrapnel: noun 1. a mass of broken crayons, chewed pencils and dried markers: I went through the art supply box today and got rid of all the shrapnel.
quick rinser: noun 1. a shower given by a handheld sprayer, alt. to a bath: We need to take a quick rinser to wash off the bug spray.
These are a few words we use around our house. I'm sure other families have their own unique terms and phrases. I just think it would be helpful to add these words to the dictionary. That way we'd all know what we're talking about.
Now I have to wrap up this column. The staging hour is almost over, and I want to give the boys a quick rinser after breakfast.

Yes, we mean Joe Caputo's band: Sideboob.

But another reveal might be even better: You can actually listen to some of his band's music online, and even buy their album.

Zeptop 6625WD
Hi all
My new laptop keeps going into standby.
Its running windows XP and on AC power or battery goes into standby when it feels like it.
Its on my lap and seems to be when I tilt the screen back or front alittle.
The screen goes blank and then powers down into standby mode unless I move the laptop or move the screen.
Its not the power settings within windows XP because I dont use standby on AC or battery.
It seems like the laptop thinks i've shut the screen down. How does the screen switch work and where is it....
The laptop is only 1 month old

We Can All Go Home Now. Piracy Is Mostly Dead

Some Guadalupe students took a visit to an oil refinery to visit nature.
The Phillips 66 Refinery let students from the Dunes Center in Guadalupe come to the beachfront next to the refinery for the afternoon.
The dunes center has an afternoon-school education program that includes a dozen third to fifth graders.
The program helps students of low income, Spanish speaking families.
They were studying for a botany class about plants in the wild.
The students talked with a guide about plants on the dunes.
"Being where were at so close to the dunes, it kind of a gem of the Central Coast and the educations important for the future of the preservation of this area" said Phillips 66 Refinery site manager Jerry Stumbo.
Phillips 66 has donated $25,000 to the Guadalupe Dunes Center.

Eight officers from Sylacauga Police Department and one from Talladega police, as well as two deputies from the County Sheriff's Office, completed instructor certification for the "Run, Hide, Fight!" program last month in Sylacauga.
An initiative of the Alabama Department of Homeland Security, the new course allows certified officers to teach personnel from businesses, public agencies and organizations to protect themselves in the event of an active shooter, which is defined as a person engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area, typically with a firearm.
"It's not when it's going to happen again, it's where," Talladega Police Chief Alan Watson said. "The media seems to focus on these events at schools, but it happens other places. The same thing can happen at your place of employment, when you're out shopping, at the movie theater. If you take this kind of training, then hopefully if that situation does occur, some of what you learned, you can act on."
The three entities are now offering the free training to groups by request. Sheriff Jimmy Kilgore said preparedness for a shooting event is more important than ever for citizens, and law enforcement not only welcomes, but encourages, companies to participate.
"Based on recent events around the country, it's not something we like to think about or like to think would happen here, but at the same time, it's a reality that we have to train and prepare for," Kilgore said. "It's something we feel we need to educate and prepare communities to face. When these events occur, every second counts, and the response and the actions people take may save their lives or the lives of others."
Sylacauga Police Chief Chris Carden said their officers are also ready for any requests and hope to schedule courses open to the public in the near future.
"This is a great tool for us to have," Carden said. "It involves cops teaching active shooter response to the people of Sylacauga, gets us in the businesses and local agencies one-on-one with the folks addressing a very important issue. This is innovative, groundbreaking progress, and I'm so excited to get started."
The course lasts only about an hour and a half and focuses, as the name suggests, on three approaches an individual should take in the event of an active shooter: run, hide or fight. The Department of Homeland Security advises that you first assess if you can run to safety. If this is not an option, find a good hiding place, preferably behind a piece of furniture in a dark, locked room. If the first two options fail, use your own discretion about when to engage the shooter. Make a plan, commit to the action and act as a group if possible. The course goes into extensive detail on these, and other, actions one should take during an emergency.
Complementing the public training, officials from Sylacauga and Talladega police and the Sheriff's Office also completed state-mandated active shooter training for law enforcement in June. Kilgore said it is important for both law enforcement and citizens to stay informed and updated on this serious public safety issue.
"I don't think there is an absolute safety net, but I think we, and we being the law enforcement community, have learned from the experiences of those who have encountered these situations," he said. "We've learned some best practices of what to do and what not to do, and hopefully we can share some of that with employees and employers in the private sector and try to help them be prepared."
For scheduling inquiries in Sylacauga, contact Capt. Kelley Johnson at 256-401-2461 or email@example.com. Contact Talladega Police Department at 256-362-4162 and the County Sheriff's Office at 256-362-2748.

At Fall VON, NMS Communications (NASDAQ: NMSS), a leading provider of communications technologies and solutions for converged and mobile networks, today announced the availability of the Vision Video Gateway, the latest member of the Vision family of communications platforms (www.nmscommunications.com/vision).
The Vision Video Gateway is designed to help mobile operators offer value-added, high margin, multimedia services such as video streaming, on-demand video streaming and video messaging including chat, mail and user-created videos. Research firm In-Stat projects by 2010 there will be 102 million mobile video subscribers worldwide, while Ovum predicts that the worldwide revenues for person-to-person video calls alone will reach $6.1 billion by 2009. The Vision Video Gateway enables mobile operators and their mobile video application developer partners to better succeed in the exploding video market by providing a scalable, cost-effective interface between 3G-324M and IP networks, letting mobile operators deploy high quality, real-time conversational video applications over a circuit-switched protocol, while deploying other services -- such as web-based applications -- over the IP network.
Spain-based multimedia solution provider Ydilo is enthusiastic about the performance of NMS's video gateway with a trial video push tutorial application. "Consumers expect mobile video applications to be high quality with very low latency. This is inherently complex to produce in heterogeneous networks," said Mark O. Loeches, marketing manager for Ydilo. "The technology provided in the Vision Video Gateway makes it possible for users of 3G mobile phones to experience the video they have become accustomed to on their TV screens, with very low lag time."
The Ydilo trial was facilitated through NMS's Spain-based distributor, Callware Voice Technologies. Callware is an established distributor in the telecom industry, specializing in open components, voice and data convergence networking solutions, IP telephony and computer-based telephony for both corporate markets and service providers. The relationship with Callware expands the reach of NMS's Vision family of communications platforms and Open Access platforms in this region.
"Several technologies must be interwoven to allow the connection of mobile and fixed IP video users. The Vision Video Gateway translates between video from mobile user and PC users on the fixed IP side to facilitate high quality, low-latency video calls," said John Orlando, chief marketing officer for NMS. "The Video Gateway is the latest member of the Vision family to allow service providers, OEMs and application developers to bring cutting-edge multimedia solutions to market faster than ever before."

After watching Helm against the Blues, doesn't it finally seem like he has shaken a lot or all of the rust off from his injury string and is skating and moving like he did before all the health issues? He had shown me some glimpses and stretches of his old skills at times up till now, but it finally looks to me that he is hitting that high gear for most each and every shift, without any of the tentativeness that he sometimes had when he just returned. It is a heck of a good time for him to round back into tip-top game shape, with the Bruins' "weakness" in defending against pure speed!
Helm Finally Looking Like His Old Self!

That is funny (and sad) - we are all so used to having so much repeated news about a setback or new injury that it feels weird to have any stretch of a few games without one (or two or three)!!!!
Posted 14 April 2014 - 08:37 AM
I thought he looked back to his old self after being back only a few games. His speed never went away and he was still throwing checks. I think it's just easier to notice him when the Wings play against more physical teams. *Fingers crossed* It will be a huge boost to have him available for this year's playoffs.

I know that Videogum's Resident Glee expert, Gabe Liedman, will have a different take on this when it actually airs (which, speaking of, how come this is even available already? Is that how you drum up excitement for something these days? By just providing the whole thing right away?) but until then, it is just like The Goonies said: it is our time down here. Down here it is our time. For this week's Caption Contest, I would like to do a little role playing! (NO ADULTO.) Pretend for a moment that you are in high school and that THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING in one of your classes. How do you react (without getting sent to the principals' office)? Welcome to Captions 102!
Winner will receive special placement in this week's Monsters' Ball. It is like our Honor Roll!
"Ms. Paltrow, how is this helping us learn algebra again?"
No. No I do not.
I hope no one notices me. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE NOTICE ME!?!
I feel like Mrs. Kovar–all I see is buttholes.
"I have the most explainable boner right now." -High School Boy
put a folder over your boner and back slowly out of the room.
I wish there were a word meaning "opposite of boner" to describe how this clip makes me feel.
I want to fuck everybody!
(*sniff*) dude, remember that Ecstasy you put in the Sloppy Joe mix, .. I think.. I think.. heh, heh. you just gotta check.. hooooly shit and Godsauce is rollin' too, bro! Who's that blonde bitch, anyway?
This is a deleted scene from "Waiting for Superman."
[Gabe backs away from posting link to Paltrow candids, trembles]
Can we just copy and paste all the butt and poop jokes from the last post? I think it'll save us a lot of time and effort.
If by "touch" you mean "stab in the face repeatedly", then yes, yes I do.
God. Damn. IT. I didn't check the file type, like a bitch, and now look what happens!
"A great way to get your kid interested in music is to have an Oscar-award winning actress and soon-to-be country star come to your school and give an impromptu performance in your choir room." -GOOP

I don't have a caption, I just want to say that this is the most accurate representation of high school I've ever seen.
This is what happens to teachers in the Midwest when they lose their benefits.
Sometimes you just wanna dance! #notappropriate
Well that settles it, I'm straight, sorry bullies
I hope no one gestures for me to join in. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE WANT ME TO JOIN IN!?!
"But when will I ever use this is outside of school??"
Is it just me or does teach look like the girl from Great Expectations?
Is it just me or does teach look like the girl from that one off crotch shot post on videogum.com? #neverforget
I'd have to see her crotch to be sure (ladies).
"Is this gonna be on the test?"
That is seriously every question that gets asked in school ever.
"Where do you get your ideas?" -People who asked "Is this gonna be on the test?" in high school
This is a very cunt-ry song.
I'll see myself out…
I have the most overrated boner right now.
No such thing.
Alan Simpson: "That's why kids today don't learn anything in school. 'Cause of all the texting and the baggy pants and Jane Jettplane songs and grumble grumble grumble.
I just can't hate this woman. That last lane is charmingly uttered!
It's about time they had a Mary Kay Letourneau episode.
Not so much "dancing" as it is "general milling around" to a bad song.
Are we being graded on class participation or can I sit this out?
It's funny because he's in a wheelchair.
there's a new glee? i sure hope i don't forget to record it for the 136th straight week.
I blame the Teachers' Union.
"So… you, like, want me to fuck you? Do I need a permission slip?"
"Remember children, the pole dance will count as one-third of your final grade."
(I said this a lot in high school and I certainly never saw anything as gay as that)
Seeing Paltrow in that jacket is like seeing my mom get out of the shower: black, leathery and slightly uncomfortable.
"Did you hear that Gwyneth Paltrow interrupted our 5th period geography class with a tone deaf rendition of a horrible Joan Jett song? It was crazy. They had to get a bunch of British butlers to hold her down and force feed her sedatives. They carried her away in a golden straight-jacket on a diamond encrusted stretcher."
"No I didn't hear about that. I was too busy getting high on robitussin and listening to Brokencyde. Also, who?"
"Good point. Let's go ghost-ride my dad's whip!"
Ummm…Mrs. Paltrow?
(gif props to Bridgey)
I went to a very christian high school so "Only God touches me there!" ………………….
Side note: it suddenly occurs to me that my conception of the inner turmoil of teenage emotions is remarkably similar to Dennis Hopper's characterization of Frank Booth in Blue Velvet.
If anyone could tap into the angst of teenage ennui, it was David Lynch.
In its post-Oscars coverage, the Guardian complained about Gwyneth Paltrow leaching the sexy out of every outfit. It appears that leachiness applies to Gwyneth's singing career as well. Watching this makes me want to put on two more cardigans and never touch anyone again.
I'd hate to see what Gary Glitter's definition of "GOOP" is.
Seriously, though, someone look it up. Did Gary Glitter actually write and direct this episode? It seems like it's right up his alley.
The recruiter from DeVry is very persuasive.
On the one hand, it's a teacher wearing tight leather pants, thrusting her hips, and begging her students to touch her. On the other hand, it's Gwyneth Paltrow.
My most sexy and least sexy fantasies, colliding in one video.
Jailhouse rock
This picture reminded me of the two things I was really into back in HS.
Clownin' Around and Boner Concealment.
For cereal, please, please stop singing Gwyneth.
I love how the line, "…every girl and boy / needs a little toy…" got changed to, "…needs a little joy."
FOX censor: "No, the teacher seducing her students is fine. But for the love of god, we can't say the word 'toy' on network television!"
Gah. This means that Jim Morrison and Gwyenth Paltrow have something in common. Besides their unbearable smugness, I mean.
And now, through the magic of Google, I've found that the original lyric actually WAS "joy."
Me: "Do I wanna fail? YEAH. Do I wanna fail? YEAH."
Apologies Monsters, but winning a caption contest is not worth me watching that video.
Charlie Sheen was so last week… quit with all the #winning jokes!
Here's what you're missing: Gwyneth. Leather. Stripper chair dance with high school students. Gwyneth gyrating in front of a kid in a wheelchair. Just a normal video of adults relating to teenagers in a totally appropriate way that would absolutely not end with them being arrested for sexual misconduct.
I lasted about 30 seconds.
This comment is far more representative of my high school experience than this video.
Now that's metal.
People are acting as though their high school teacher never writhed around in front of them while wearing leather pants.
Seriously, where did you grow up, Mormonsville?
It appears the show has been getting into trouble based on claims of false advertising. Starting with the third season the show will be renamed "Mild to Severe Discomfort"
Turns out if you bleach your asshole, it will sing.
Argh! What am I doing wrong?
You are trying too hard. Get rid of the [IMG] and the [/IMG].
Thanks! If only there was a GOOP about embedding images, I would have been spared this embarrassment.
In this game, is Gwyneth Paltrow really singing, or is she poorly lip-syncing in class, too?
soooooo, mom you know that hot blonde teacher you hate? well today in chorus she tried to teach us about safe sex by making suggestive faces, dry humping the air and getting on her knees in front of wheelchair mikey
'Man, even the guy in the wheelchair is getting some?' ~…cause in high school I was unpopular and scared of girls.
i think im in the wrong class, ill stay a little while longer just to be sure
is this the prequel to pregnant at 16?
Gwyneth Paltrow: "Hit it!" Everyone: "Okay!" *slaps her*
Where is Scott Walker when you need him…
Ugh, I know. Getting tired of listening to Arcade Fire.
You'll think twice about downvoting me now that you know I am Liam Neeson. I will hunt you down using only intelligence, punching, and my angry faces.
"Ugh, I KNEW it — everyone involved with choir is a huge asshole."
(Band geek 4 life)
That's just what I was thinking, "Choir bitch!" Hated them, secretly wished to BE them. Ugh.
Considering I went to an all-girls private school, my thought process would have been:
1. What? I missed a fre dress day? Now I look even more like a goon in this skirt. 2. Why are there boys here? 3. Why is that substitute teacher acting like us?
Not shown: Joan Jett totally kicking Gwyneth's ass after 8th period math class.
This sucks.
Has anyone said they would just GLEEk on her yet? Cause that's what I'd say….
Remember slutty Sandy from "Grease"? She just sniffed some bath salts and is in the chorus room. Also, I hate her now.
Um, teach? I don't think "No Child Left Behind" means what you think it means.
"…So using Autotune IS allowed during my vocal performance final?? Because if so I've been practicing way too much."
"My ongoing struggle to define myself against my immediate surroundings, including peer networks and figures of authority, has suddenly increased in difficulty." –me
"NERD!" –some jock
Why is this woman always so stiff? I mean she's all "look at me I'm letting loose on Glee! Wheee!" but she's still so painfully self-aware it's just really awkward to watch her do this.
is she supposed to be a pedophile? or is it just that she's singing the words of a pedophile to underage kids, some of whom are disabled?
i think this is ACTUALLY the worst thing ever, of all time, literally, FOREVER.
I'll click on almost anything on here, but I just can't bring myself to watch this.
"I cried plenty of times while learning how to sit on a chair. It was very frustrating."
In which Will Schuester finally gets fired nevermind.#pedowill
This actually did happen to me in high school. Except there was less Gwyneth Paltrow in leather pants and more Paula Abdul in a captain's hat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZWwPaamC-s
Some things are not appropriate, and some things are wrong, and then there are things that hurt people. This is one of the latter.

Three Finalists to Develop Strategies for Vacant Land Reuse in New Orleans
Three finalists have been selected to move forward in the Van Alen Institute (VAI) and New Orleans Redevelopment Authority's (NORA) "Future Ground" open ideas competition. Each will be provided with a $15,000 stipend to investigate and develop long-term design and policy strategies for vacant land reuse in New Orleans.
"Too often, vacant land has been seen only as a remnant of or absence within the 20th century city," described the VAI. "Today, with a critical mass of designers, policymakers, scholars, artists, activists, and residents creating pilot projects, thoughtful studies, and new kinds of urbanism on abandoned properties, it is possible to imagine this land as an integral part of the future city."
Tulane Students Upcycle Traffic Signs into Shade Canopy
Tulane City Center and a team of Tulane architecture students worked together with the Lousiana Outdoor Outreach Program to design a shade structure made from traffic yield signs for a challenge course in City Park. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding tree canopy and the structure of the ropes course, the design team crafted a faceted, curving aluminum canopy suspended by steel cables with an earthen berm for seating below. More about the pavilion, after the break.
Future Ground Competition Open for Registration
What will New Orleans look like in one year? Ten years? Fifty years? The Future Ground design competition, hosted by the Van Alen Institute, is looking for multidisciplinary teams help shape the city's future by answering these questions. The competition is specifically looking for teams to "generate flexible design and policy strategies to reuse vacant land in New Orleans, transforming abandoned landscapes into resources for the city."
Request for qualification applications are due September 29, 2014 and the three winning teams will be announced the following month. These three teams will be awarded $15,000 to participate in a six-month research and design process alongside national experts and local stakeholders. The outcome of their research will be socially, economically, and ecologically sensitive solutions that the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority (NORA) can implement and other cities can replicate.

The Debate Over Making It Right in the Lower Ninth Ward
Ever since the New Republic published Lydia DePillis's piece entitled "If you Rebuild it, They Might Not Come" - a criticism of the progress of Brad Pitt's Make It Right Foundation – numerous blogs and journals have been in a uproar, defending Make It Right's efforts at rebuilding the vastly devastated Lower Ninth Ward and presenting a much more forgiving perspective on the progress of the neighborhood since the engineering disaster that exacerbated the effects of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. To date, 86 LEED Platinum homes have been designed and constructed by world-renowned architects, including Frank Gehry and Morphosis, at a cost of approximately $24 million. Make It Right has promised to build up to 150 such homes, but DePillis's article points out that amenities in the neighborhood are low and the number of residents returning to the neighborhood is dwindling. Make It Right has made a commitment and the debate that ensues questions whether it is going far enough in delivering its promise to rebuilding community.

3 American Cities: Future Forecasting
The AIA recently published a reprint from the National Associates Committee journal Forward by author Wellington Reiter, FAIA. The hot topic essay goes into great detail discussing how three U.S. cities – Detroit, Phoenix, and New Orleans – are serving as examples of the impacts of adverse planning and general continuation of unsustainable behavior. While in times past these cities have flourished, and grew on the assumption that the trend would continue inevitably, they are sharp reminders of the consequences of naivety in regards to long term sustainability.

Bayou-Luminescence Installation / ISSSStudio + PATH
Bayou-luminescence, one of ten site-specific installations commissioned by the New Orleans chapter of the American Institute of Architects, was a collaboration between Igor Siddiqui, the principal of the Austin-based design practice ISSSStudio and Matt Hutchinson, the principal of San-Francisco-based firm PATH. The project was included as a part of DesCours, the annual architecture and art event on view at various locations in city from December 2 through 11, 2011. More images and architects' description after the break.
DesCours: A Presentation of AIA New Orleans
DesCours is a free, public, ten-night architecture and art event now in its fifth year, held December 2-December 11 in New Orleans.
This event invites internationally renowned architects and artists to create architecture installations within 'hidden' locations in the heart of New Orleans, including private courtyards, rooftops, abandoned buildings and walkways, all locations normally unseen, inaccessible or unused by the public.
More information on the event after the break.
Richardson Memorial Hall Green Renovation Plans
Fundraising is now underway for a $23.9 million green makeover of Richardson Memorial Hall, the century old home of the Tulane University School of Architecture.
The renovation will include maximizing the light and airiness of the building, installing solar panels and cisterns to collect rainwater for irrigation and, possibly, plumbing use, and many other sustainable strategies. Additionally, IBM Smart Building technology will monitor and adjust the building's water consumption, lighting and other systems to optimize their performance while lowering the building's carbon footprint. More information on the project after the break.
URBANbuild / Tulane University
Check out a preview we spotted on PublicInterestDesign of Tulane University's School of Architecture URBANbuild program, a total collaborative effort of "individuals, organizations, and businesses committed to revitalizing New Orleans' rich cultural and architectural heritage." Working with Professor Byron Mouton, Make It Right and Neighborhood Housing Services of New Orleans, students have designed and built several LEED-certified homes such as URBANbuild 04 featured in the clip. This particular residence is situated in Central City of New Orleans and completely breaks with the traditional "shotgun homes" that line the streets. The young homeowner, Tami, appreciates the students' talents and abilities to go beyond what the neighborhood, and even the city, is comfortable with to create a new urban identity. Challenged by Mouton to introduce new ideas, the students have created a beautiful residence that they can certainly be proud of and one that Tami loves View her story and a bit of the project's journey in the video.

2011 DesCours Request for Proposals
Now in it's 5th year, DesCours will be holding its annual event in New Orleans from December 2nd-December 11th, 2011. DesCours is a ten-day, contemporary architecture and art event that looks towards the future in showcasing experimental, cutting-edge new media and interactive installations while embracing New Orleans rich cultural heritage. During DesCours, internationally recognized architects, designers and artists transform unique, hidden spaces within the French Quarter and Central Business District into destination places for visitors and locals alike.
There are a total of 11-13 artists and architects (individuals and teams) that will be selected through this proposal process, which is due by August 19th at 5pm, and by invitation to participate by creating installations for French Quarter courtyards, downtown building lobbies, rooftops, walkways and other 'hidden' New Orleans spaces. Overall, we are seeking installations that react and respond both to the historic nature of the sites, and to the public audience that views them. More event description after the break.

Today's Top Best Value Violin Makers
Much is made of old violins. Ancient esteemed Italian violins routinely fetch millions at auction, but now the climate is such that certain very good European factory violins from late 19th to early 20th centuries can command higher prices than quite well-made single-maker modern violins. While there is no substitute for old seasoned wood, there is also no shortage of very fine makers who may well know more about the instruments they make, technologically, than in any previous century.
Its true. We might just be living in another golden age of violin making. From well-published studies of the graduations of Del Gesu's to studies of the wood densities of little ice spruce trees, today's makers have far more information at their fingertips than makers just thirty years ago. While the tools generally haven't changed much, the knowledge has. And with violin prices being what they are, one can get a fine hand-made instrument today for less than a mediocre 19th century instrument.
Our aim is to look at ten of the top violin makers today. Some represent value, others quality and expertise, and some innovation. This is not specifically a rating of any of the makers, its too complex to account for variations between instruments to attempt anything like that, but more an exploration of what they do and where their instruments are ending up.
Gainesville Violins. 4240 NW 129th Street, Gainesville, FL 32606 www.gviolins.com
Master maker Jan van Rooyen produces truly amazing hand-made violins at very
reasonable prices, considering the custom nature of his instruments. He has a very loyal
following, even Joshua Bell owns one.
David Wiebe. 2290 Glasco Turnpike. Woodstock, New York 12498 www.violoncello.com
Very fine instrument hand-maker that has seen some of his instruments rise in value in
the secondary market. Past customers include Yehudi Menuhin for a viola.
Peter Zaret and Sons Violins. 5767 Mayfield Rd. Cleveland OH 44124 www.zaretandsonsviolins.com
While not a maker per-se, they offer a patented bass bar modification that potentially
could revolutionize violin-making. It represents a close look at an all too often ignored part
of the instrument that can drastically affect tone for the better.
Scott Cao Violins. 1860 Winchester Blvd. Campbell, CA 95008 www.scottcaoviolins.com
Offers many pricing levels all representing good value, but the more expensive instruments
are truly world class.
Philippe Girardin. 11, Rue de Port-Roulant, 2000 Neuchatel Switzerland www.philippe-girardin.net
Superb maker that is an expert in the old Italian varnishes as they were originally formulated. Some
swear that varnish is everything, so if authentic finishes are desired this is the place.
David Widmer. Studio Souffles. 7044 St-Urbain. Montreal QC Canada H2S 3H5 www.widmerluthier.com
Superb award-winning maker that also offers unique olive wood chinrests for players that suffer
from arthritis or skin conditions.
Raymond Schryer. Schryer Violins 1009 Queen St. E. Sault Ste. Marie, ON Canada P6A 2C2 www.violincello.com
Very fine award-winning maker with excellent Guarneri and Strad models.
Gliga Violins. Romanian Made. Gliga Violins, USA 245 N. Carmelo Ave Ste. 105, Pasadena, CA 91107 www.violinslover.com
Highly thought of instruments available for students and professionals. Good workmanship and
Marcus Klimke 138, rue de la Madeleine, 49000 Angers, France www.klimkeviolin.com
Award winning European maker that is truly making waves with the quality of his instruments.
Kelvin Scott Violins. 1329 Armstrong Avenue. Knoxville, TN 37917 www.ksviolins.com
Very high quality maker that wins awards consistently for tone. It would be hard to beat this
maker in tone quality.

Sam Raimi's 1981 cult-hit The Evil Dead gets the remake treatment. Ghost House Pictures will be producing The Evil Dead remake. I cannot wait to see what they will be doing with a far bigger budget. I think Bruce Campbell himself said that he liked what they were doing so far.
Five friends end up in a remote cabin where they find The Book of the Dead. They summon dormant demons living in the dormant woods. The demons possess the friends one by one until only one remains to fight off the forces of evil.
