How to Fail…Successfully by Scott Anderson
I think it's safe to say that none of us strive to fail. But the bigger question is, when we do fail, how do we react? Not every project or new business endeavor is going to be a runaway success — this is one (of the many) harsh realities of being an entrepreneur among the creative class (and if you read this blog, you fall within this demographic). Failure has often proven to be the bitter pill that a business owner occasionally swallows in order to ensure increased productivity and future success. Not meeting various stretch goals, or watching initiatives fall flat, are (ironically) attributes of a healthy growing business. And, as professional photographers and business owners, I encourage you to acknowledge failure as a positive force in the growth of your business, and your learning process.
Successfully failing involves learning from mistakes and trying new plans and strategies; it's about
Pictage + Fashion/Glamour Workflow — Q&A with Mark Wangerin by Scott Anderson
Photos Courtesy of Mark Wangerin
Scott Anderson: You've been a Pictage photographer since the very beginning. Tell us a bit about your recent transition from wedding & portraits to fashion and high school senior photography.
Mark Wangerin: When I joined Pictage, I was strictly a wedding and product photographer. As I progressed in skill and artistic sensitivity, I found more satisfaction in the connective process of shooting people for portraits, publications and fashion. Although I don't consider myself a "fashion" photographer, I do consider myself a more mainstream commercial beauty and glamour photographer.
Of course the more I was involved in beauty and glamour, the less time and emotional energy I had for weddings, which as most wedding photographers agree is more about energy management than being immersed into a conceptual, creative project such as magazine submissions and portraits for publication.
SA: I'm particularly interested in how Pictage fits into your new workflow? Can you explain how you optimize Pictage to work best for you within these markets?
MW: I'm a creature of familiarity and comfort. I only change when I'm forced to. So rather than using Pictage for my wedding events (which I still do on occasion), I now am starting to use Pictage for proofing and ordering my senior portraits and some commercial portraits and very soon for my modeling portfolios. It is a very simple process that allows me to step aside from the negotiating process when it comes to print buying. We all know that everyone wants a "deal" and we photographers work a little too hard to be constantly engaged in a bargain matinee scenario.
By setting my prices reasonably, I have found that I really make more by letting clients order through Pictage in the comfort of their own home than to have to sit down with a client, go through proofs, then sit with them while they agonize over their budget.
Consistently, I find that the customer always wants my opinion. Within their event, I can easily make a folder of my favorites to help them in their selection process. Sometimes, I retouch one or two to give them an idea of the finished product. When my wife creates the event, she sets it up with a subtitle stating "Proofs only – not for purchase – please select favorites." She also sets the event with a special Price Catalog for Proofs Only, which has only one size available for purchase, that is a 3.5 x 5 for $125 – this is to guarantee they don't order in accident. (Pictage has always been excellent with quick resolutions when requested – maybe they'll provide in the near future a way to create a generic "proof" catalog in which no products are available for purchase.) Once they choose their favorites, I retouch them and upload them to a new event from which they can make their final orders of prints, albums, etc.
When I go through a session, I use Adobe Lightroom 2.0 for almost the entire editing process. And now that Pictage and Lightroom are in a collaborative team effort to streamline the full workflow process, I can now complete the entire process in Lightroom and upload straight to my Pictage FTP account without having to break my editing stride. It's all done in the Adobe Lightroom 2.0 environment.
Visual Exploration – An Interview with Will Jacks by Scott Anderson
I was recently speaking with a small group of fellow photographers and was surprised to learn that the majority of them couldn't remember the last time they had taken-on a personal project, or just gone out to shoot for themselves. All of them, however, agreed that they felt most nourished and re-charged when shooting for the sole purpose of creating art vs. working just for the sake of a commission.
Staying connected to one's passion for the visual arts is an important topic, and Pictage photographer and community leader Will Jacks is somebody I've long admired when it comes to this subject. Will spoke last year at our Pictage Partner Conference about leveraging personal projects to enhance your brand. Numerous attendees of his session said they were inspired by Will's assertion that focusing on personal projects will help them find their voice and stay connected with their passion.
Will was kind enough to spend some time with me discussing this very topic — specifically as it relates to an important creative endeavor he's spearheading. The project has tremendous Community value, which is why we're especially excited to share with you this excerpt from our conversation:
Scott Anderson: You recently announced "Contrast" — a creative initiative of yours that we're very excited about here at Pictage. Can you provide an overview for our readers?
Will Jacks: Absolutely. On August 20 of this year my studio and gallery will be sponsoring a group photography show in Cleveland, Mississippi. It will be a theme show, and we are inviting photographers from many different genres and from all over the world to participate. The theme for the show is "Contrast". Photographers are encouraged to examine the theme in any way they like. Color. Black and white. Film. Digital. Mixed media. Explore the concept in subject matter, technique, or both. The main things are to push, explore, and TRY.
Learn more…
SA: What is your ultimate goal for this show?
WJ: My hope is that not only does this become an annual show, but that the week around it becomes a sort of "Burning man" for artists in general, photographers specifically.
SA: I've heard you speak on the topic of Art vs. Business. This is a subject that often creates quite a lot of conversation. Share with us you point-of-view.
WJ: As photographers we're often either so busy producing images for our own clients or so focused on reaching that point that we risk neglecting our own vision and growth. We push to stand out. We attend seminars and workshops that more and more lean heavily towards marketing and branding. We hone our sales techniques. We focus on our clients' wants and needs. And while I believe all those things are EXTREMELY important, I also believe it important to take time for ourselves, examine where we are and what we're doing, and make sure we are on the path we intended for ourselves — or perhaps even the one that was intended for us.
So it is in that vein that we are developing this concept.

SA: I'm intrigued by your vision of a "Burning Man" for our industry (count me in)! Can you tell us a bit more about this?
WJ: When I speak of a Burning Man, what I mean is a purposeful "non-structure". I believe this part of the country — the Mississippi Delta — has a wonderful creative energy. It is a land of extremes. It is often at the extremes that we find passion and creativity, which, of course, are two aspects that lead directly to art.
Part of my hopes are that this show will provide a much needed deadline for all of us. After all, how often do we complete something when we know there is a point after which we can longer complete it? And how often do we procrastinate if our deadline is open ended — thus not being a deadline at all! If we focus on meeting this deadline, and exploring our own work, the next step I envision is one of sharing and serendipitous growth. Not only do I hope to have lots of submissions to view, but I hope that lots of photographers will decide to come visit as well. If enough artists gather with a purpose of meeting, sharing, exploring, and BEING then I think some pretty amazing personal discovery and growth can happen. Every plan we make for this event is being done with that principle in mind.

SA: How will you measure success?
WJ: This doesn't work if people don't want it to work. So I need for others to not only participate, but to encourage and to share with fellow photographers. It needs to be a grassroots effort so that it maintains a sense of wonderment and purity. In all honesty, the group show is not meant to be a standalone event. It is mean to be a part of the puzzle — a means to an end — with the end being a gathering designed to bring about serendipity. I hope I am not alone in my desire to meet new people, try new things, and pay attention to any and all doors me. I don't think that I am, which is where this idea originates. I encourage as many creatives as possible to submit to this show and come down to visit. The more people that gather, the more doors will open.
SA: All of us here at Pictage are onboard and excited about the many ways we can come together as a community to support your vision.
WJ: That's great. Pictage has done so much to grow and nurture a strong community of creative professionals. This is all about our art. About our journeys. About our exploration and our growth. It's about taking time for ME. Just one week. Stop. Slow down. Reconnect. And reset. Spend time with no other intention than just spending time.
The real world will most assuredly still be there on Monday morning. We'll be back soon enough to pleasing clients and creating images for others. Why not take a few days to create a couple of images for ourselves?

Nokia Siemens joins Linux Foundation
The Linux Foundation continues to grow. The latest member to join is the telecommunications supplier Nokia Siemens Networks.
The Nokia and Siemens joint venture is interested in contributing its know-how to interface development in the field of Carrier Grade Linux (CGL), and to improving interoperability between various Linux distributions. One aim is that of synchronizing the CGL specification with the Linux Standard Base. To this end Nokia Siemens Networks will be contributing funds as well as technical resources.
Nokia itself joined the Linux Foundation in April. This, and Nokia's Linux-based Internet tablets, N770 and N800, all go to show that the Fins are firmly on a course to adopting the free operating system. Nokia also opened its Symbian S60 smartphone platform for code in April.
However, the Finnish company is not only interested in cooperating with Open Source and Linux. Just yesterday, Nokia and Microsoft announced that they will be collaborating in the field of mobile entertainment in future. The phone manufacturer will be integrating Microsoft's Playready copy protection software in its S60 platform for this purpose.

Friday, November 30, 2012 - Page updated at 04:00 p.m.Downsized office tower proposed in Bellevue
Beacon Capital Partners of Boston has filed a permit application to build a 23-story office building on a downtown Bellevue site where it won approval last year to build a 32-story tower.
The 3-acre property, now a parking lot, is on Northeast Eighth Street between 108th and 110th Avenues Northeast.
A document Beacon filed with city planners says construction is "projected" to start next summer, but doesn't indicate if that's contingent on signing an anchor tenant. A Beacon representative didn't respond to a request for more information.
The downsized tower would have 515,000 square feet of office space, down from 680,000 in the earlier design.

Many Canadians expect they will need to work past age 65. This is creating both challenges and opportunities, as organizations contend with issues related to staffing, employee engagement and total rewards.
According to a recent survey by Sun Life Financial, 54 per cent of Canadians expect to still be working after age 65. Some 20 per cent expect to be working full time, while 34 per cent feel they'll be working part time. And on average, they expect to continue working until age 71.
The news isn't surprising. Many Canadian workers have seen their retirement savings erode in the face of ongoing market turbulence. In fact, 61 per cent of those who anticipate working past age 65 say they will do so out of necessity. This is up from 46 per cent in 2009.
What does this mean for employers? It's a bit of a good news/bad news story.
On the positive side, many companies are becoming worried about their talent pools, especially as baby boomers start to retire. Delayed retirements will provide some relief, although only temporarily, in terms of access to required talent.
And a recent research study by the Sloan Center on Aging and Work at Boston College found workers over the age of 40 tend to have higher levels of engagement and organizational commitment than their younger counterparts.
But having more employees working past age 65 is not without its challenges and can impact workforce dynamics. These older workers may be looking for a different type of work arrangement, such as the opportunity to work part-time so they can take a more phased approach to retirement.
At the same time, delayed retirements could become a source of frustration to younger workers, who may see this development as stalling their own opportunities for career progression.
If your organization expects more employees will be retiring later, a well-crafted strategy can help you facilitate a smoother transition process. Here are some potential action steps.
Working past age 65 may be the new normal for individuals who want to shore up their retirement income. Proactive organizations will be able to navigate changing work force realities with greater ease.

by Ed Lallo/Louisiana Seafood News
Gulf Crown Seafood is on a mission to increase the quality of Louisiana caught shrimp, as well as the profits fishermen receive for their hard work.
Sitting on the banks of the Delcambre Canal, mere yards from the docks of an ever-shrinking shrimp fleet. Company owner Jeff Floyd is convinced that to compete in an industry driven by the price of imported shrimp, quality has to be the new game for the Louisiana shrimp community.
Built in 1987, Gulf Crown process more than 100,000 pounds of shrimp a day, one of the largest processors along the Florida to Texas Gulf coast.
According to Floyd, U.S. processors are forced to compete in the marketplace at prices driven by imported shrimp stuck at 1970 prices.
Staying Ahead With Up-To-Date Technology
An array of modern shrimp processing equipment lines the company's floors.
"We have tried to stay on the technological edge," said Floyd. "We knew we had to be ahead of the game to allow us to play internationally, at all levels."
For Louisiana shrimp to demand a premium it is going to take more than modern equipment, quality has to be addressed on numerous levels.
"We need to reap the benefits of the fishermen's hard work," explained Floyd. "Of the 100 million pounds of shrimp caught in state waters, an unacceptable amount is brought in damaged. Proper handling can drastically reduce that percentage."
Processing Shrimp from Around the Gulf
Gulf Crown packages Louisiana, as well as other Gulf caught shrimp.
"Louisiana shrimp definitely has room for improvement," said Floyd. "With that improvement will come increased profits for both the boats and the processors."
Fundamental differences exist in the various Gulf caught shrimp, especially between Louisiana and Texas landed shrimp.
Texas boats are fleets usually owned by a single owner or large corporation; the Louisiana shrimp fleet is comprised mainly of individually owned boats.
Another fundamental difference between Louisiana and Texas landed shrimp – price. Texas shrimp consistently bring a premium, with buyers bidding above market price for the product.
Texas processors notify buyers when a fleet of shrimpers are approaching the dock. Companies that package shrimp -some of the biggest seafood brokers in the U.S. – bid against each other resulting in "top dollar" for the boats.
Supporting Louisiana Seafood Certification
"This is why Louisiana shrimp is behind the eight-ball," said Floyd. "Our ultimate goal has to be to unify shrimpers, docks, processors and buyers to produce a product that can compete on the national level."
"We need to have our shrimp branded similar to "Black Angus beef" and "Florida orange juice", where brokers will bid a premium instead of receiving market price," he said. "That is why the recently announced "Certified Louisiana Wild Seafood" program is so important."
A company that has invested heavily in modernization and quality control, Gulf Crown was one of the first processors to apply for a certification from the state.
"I see the certification program as a key to our philosophy of branding Louisiana shrimp as the highest quality product, and creating greater public demand in the marketplace," he said. "We will be putting the certified label on all shrimp caught, landed and processed in Louisiana."
With this program, and through educating the seafood brokers, over time we will be receiving a premium for Louisiana caught, landed and processed shrimp.
Facing Challenges Head On
The southern Louisiana bayou based business has faced unique challenges in recent years.
To meet the challenges it has diversified operations from strictly commercial, into products packaged for the retail marketplace.
To reduce expenses, it is now become one the most automated processors along the Gulf Coast.
As more and more imports flood the U.S. marketplace, shrimp from domestic waters is less than 10 percent of the total sold.
"Right now shrimp prices are pretty much steered by the imports," explained Floyd. "We made the decision to automate the plant in order to compete and win on their playing field."
Shrimp Packaged for Numerous Markets
Gulf Crown processes more than 12-million pounds of shrimp per year for various markets.
"In the past shrimp was packed in five pound boxes," Floyd said. "During the last few years we have installed an Individual Quick Frozen (IQF) line to handle more retail business. This line allows us the ability to package 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 5 pound."
"Where everything used to be hand packed, we now have fully automated multi-head scales and cleaners, as well as laser sorters that analyze and sort shrimp being processed."
With the states fleet less than half the size of in the early 1980's. Floyd recognizes the importance of creating a niche market for Louisiana shrimp to maximize "the money we get for the product, so we can pay the boats more so they can survive."
As the demand for seafood has increased, he has noticed a definite increase in the quality of Louisiana shrimp Gulf Crown is processing, "New education tools are helping boats provide a better product, and crews are taking more pride in the shrimp they deliver to the docks."
"When they produce a better product, we produce a better product and Louisiana shrimp can demand a premium price in the marketplace."

Australian soprano and violinist Peggy Mortimer, best known for her musical act with her husband Enzo Toppano, has died, aged 74.
The Toppanos were one of Australia's most famous light entertainment acts, performing for nearly five decades. Born Margaret Joan Mortimer in Sydney on September 22, 1929, she met and married Toppano while appearing in British variety theatres in the early thirties. The couple returned to Australia in 1949. They had three children – Lorenzo, a trumpeter and composer, Peta, an actress, and Dean, a guitarist and drummer – and the family toured the world and recorded as The Travelling Toppanos.
Mortimer died on November 23 and is survived by her husband and children.

Suspended ceiling, easy access to wiring. Room has a single surface-mount light fixture in the center of the room. I want to remove this light and add four recess lights.
Just a conceptual question here. I can't seem to find a simple answer online anywhere. Let's assume there is 14/2 running to the existing light. I would cut this wire and run it to the first new light. From there, do I run 14/3 to all the other lights? Or what? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
What ever is feeding the intial old lite you are removing,that circuit should be enough to add 3-4 pot lites. Your on the right track,remove the old lite and cut that old circuit into you first new pot lite,just carry on to the others from there, 14/2 is all you need. |
Where did I get the idea that I needed 14/3? I thought that was required in order to wire the lights in parallel; otherwise with 14/2 they'd be in series and dim. No? |
No. Just use 14/2. At each light fixture, connect the blacks from both the "in" and "out" lines and the black from the light fixture all together. Same for whites and grounds. They aren't in series unless the current needs to flow through one of the lights to get to the next. By connecting all the blacks together, the current flows through the wires to get to lights 2-4, not through light 1. |
Sounds simple enough. So just 14/2 all the way around, and the loop ends at the fourth light? In what scenario(s) would you use 14/3? |
The most common uses for 14/3 in a home would be wiring a light to 2 separate switches or wiring a fixture that does 2 things - like fan/light combo. |
But I thought I once saw a posting here where someone wired two outdoor garage lights and they were dim. He was told to run 14/3 between the lights, and that fixed it. Am I confused? |
If the power came to the first light and the switch was at the end of the run... 14/3 would be required between the lights. I believe that was the case on the post you refer to. |
please see How to Wire a Circuit "In Parallel" |
Here is a link that might be useful: How to Wire a Circuit
I believe I have a switch loop in this situation. There is only one cable in the switch box, with the white one marked black. Would this change my cable needs if I wanted to add these recess fixtures? Is 14/3 necessary now? Thanks. |
White WIRE is marked black, that is. |
At the existing fixture remove the white and black from the fixture only and continue on as sparky outlined. Black and white to each fixture. There will be more wires in the box but don't mess with them, they are feeding the switch. Get a wiring book, that's what I did, and look at examples of wiring. Things will be a lot clearer by looking at pictures. |
OK, here's my next question then. I have some concerns about the wood in my house (probably unfounded). What are my options for securing the cable above the suspended ceiling *without* drilling the joists? Aside from just stapling to the bottom edge of the joist (the worst options?) can I use a light PVC conduit and secure that? Thanks. |
If you have room above the ceiling just run some furring strips, 1x2 or 1x3, and staple the wire cable to that. |
How do you mean? Attached perpendicular to the bottom edge of the joists? It's a suspended ceiling, so yes, I have maybe a foot of height to the subfloor above. |

... and his drawling Texan bodyguard, Lee Harvey?
I mean, I know what happened to them, but that ice can't stay solid forever, what with that walking fire hazard standing outside the tent.
Wouldn't it be fun to see them return, with the intention of a comeback in the euro-cowboy's music career? A lot of really strange things have happened in recent years, and I bet Bumpus could make use of the various oddities about.
And what about Mack Salmon, the recurring villain of the animated series and comic?
Just wondering if these ideas are at all possible, or if copyright laws prevent it from happening?
Also, why hasn't Max's little "souvenir" from Hugh Bliss changed color yet? :) Bacteria can multiply on their own, might he be able to return?

Arctic Spas, a division of Blue Falls Manufacturing Ltd. (Thorsby, Alberta, Canada), produces spas that are engineered for use in cold climates. The spas are designed with the Perimeter HeatLock™ insulation system (pictured, inset), intended to keep heat loss to a minimum and to increase energy efficiency. This includes a high-density urethane foam applied to the floor, cabinet, and spa rim underside, which results in an insulated dead air space. This is said to help electrical equipment and plumbing operate efficiently. The design of the spa directs incidental motor heat inward, through the shell, instead of outward. Capturing this ambient heat, the company says, decreases overall heating costs. The combination of the captured heat and the insulation system is designed to protect against freezing in sub-zero conditions. Even if power to the spa is interrupted, heat from the spa water slowly transfers to the dead air space to protect plumbing and equipment from freeze-up. The company says equipment can be protected even in temperatures as low as -40°C. The spa hull surface is composed of high-gloss, marbled, and textured acrylics, cast with the company's composite reinforcing process over a bonding layer and a structural layer. The wood floor is reinforced with the company's Forever Floor™, composed of hand-rolled fiberglass composites. The floor is designed to be impervious to the damage of moisture, pests, and time, and to eliminate the need for a concrete, decking, or block foundation. The company says its products are the first in the hot tub industry to use reflex torsion hose in every spa. This specialized pipe material is designed to fit over rigid PVC and is glued into all fittings to allow for higher water flow and help avoid fitting leaks due to hose movement. The PVC pipe material is designed to swell to absorb stress from fittings. The company says heaters generally are the most failure-prone spa component because the heating element is typically submerged, exposing it to potential chemical imbalances and poor quality water. Arctic addressed the problem by designing the Tru-Guard heater, which is sealed using a protective Teflon-titanium-based coating that is similar to the coating used to seal commercial acid tanks. The coating inhibits mineral buildup and protects against corrosion. The topside digital controls are designed to perform in cold conditions. They control temperature well as the programmable heat and filtration cycles. The control unit also oversees diagnostics, flow-switch failure, over-heat protection, and freeze protection. Self diagnostics allow for easy servicing. The water filtration system starts with a pre-filter that attaches to the hose used for filling the spa. This pre-filter contains a proprietary, micron filter media designed to capture metals, suspended solids, and bacteria. The company also developed a disposable filtering system to help eliminate filter cleaning. The Micro Pure™ Everyday Filter is said to provide the equivalent of more than 900 sq ft of pleated paper or cellulose filter media. The filter captures particles and small as 1 micron and is said to be 94-percent efficient at removing contaminants in one pass. The company says some pleated filter systems screen down to only 60 microns and are only 50-percent efficient. This high level of water cleaning efficiency is designed to do away with the use of chemical clarifiers, cartridge cleaners, and defoamers.

All My Sons Courage Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Keller: Don't look at me like that, he didn't tell me any more than he told you. (1.286)
Not true, Joe! He knows full well that Chris wants to marry Ann. But out of fear of losing his wife's support, he evades confrontation with her.
Keller: That's the only way you lick 'em is guts! (1.446)
Joe has just recounted his version of the story of his crime, concluding with a victorious stroll back into the neighborhood after his exoneration. A kind of false courage. Real courage would have been acknowledging the wrong he did – or, in the first place, holding life more sacred than a profit.
Mother: All right, Joe. Just…be smart. [Keller, in hopeless fury, looks at her, turns around, goes up to porch and into house, slamming screen door violently behind him. Mother sits in chair downstage, stiffly, staring, seeing.] (1.623)
In this last line of Act 1, the stage directions give us an idea of how the Kellers handle extreme challenges. Joe throws a tantrum and goes in the house; Kate sits outside processing and preparing. She's the more intelligent and stronger of the two, as we come to see. Does that make her more or less guilty than Joe?

An investigation by Sitka Police into the death of a man set to stand trial for the murder of his wife and daughter aboard the powerboat Marjo in June of 1996. Fifty-two year old Robert Meyer, the owner of Southeast Marine in Sitka and Juneau, was found in 70 feet of water at the end of a Sitka dock late Tuesday night. A reliable source indicates Meyer committed suicide by rolling his wheelchair off the dock. Meyer was in a traffic accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down and confined to a wheelchair. Meyer faced eight criminal counts and was scheduled to go on trial January 19th, 1999. The Marjo sank about 25 miles northwest of Sitka after Meyer allegedly set it on fire. Meyer was not the only one charged in connection with the murder of his wife and daughter. His girlfriend at the time of the incident, whom he later married, was Ann Lowe. Lowe faces a charge of tampering with evidence and is scheduled to go on trial in January.

How'd Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, Kerry Washington, Zooey Deschanel, Kat Dennings, and more look at last night's show? Mike Bruno and Bronwyn Barnes each take a look, then compare notes...
Bronwyn says: I'm not crazy about the double thigh-high slits. (Is it just me, or is there a hint of camel toe?) But the refreshing color of Klum's halter-neck gown made her one of the night's standouts. B+
Mike says: (So we're kicking off with "camel toe," eh Bronwyn? Sweet.) Heidi is always hot, even when she's striking an Angelina looksie-leg pose. I'm with you on the double slit being a little off-putting, but girl's got gams, so why deprive us of one? B

I think this is my first post here. Hi everyone.
I bought a Mini Penny last year. It was planted last fall next to the foundation in a moist spot that receives morning sun. By 11 am it is in full shade, although I suppose you could say it's bright shade. It is blooming now, about a foot high, and 2 feet wide in spots. It looks healthy, and the flowers are spaced nicely around the plant. However... I thought it was suppose to grow 3-4 feet tall and wide, eventually. I check a few sites last night and saw the size at maturity to be anywhere from 2-3 feet tall to 7 feet tall. Is that due to how much light it receives? I'm assuming that 7 feet tall is an error, but a few sites did list it's height at maturity to be 3-4 feet, and that's what the plant tag stated. The plant tag also stated that is was ok for my zone, but I've seen some sites that state it's zone 6 and above. If it gets only 2-3 feet tall, I'll need to move it to a different location, but I'll wait until early fall. Has anyone been growing this plant for a few years? How much light does your Mini Penny get and how tall is it? If my plant is flowering so well, is it safe to assume it's getting enough sun? Does any one have a Mini Penny that is 4 feet tall? What about the zone difference - does anyone have Mini Penny growing in zone 4 successfully? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Seven feet tall? It sounds like an error. As in typing the stats for regular-sized Penny Mac instead of the new Mini Penny. |
I have a Mini Penny that's 3+ years old and has reached >4' tall x 5' wide. It gets a little morning sun, mostly shade. Prolific and heavy blooms that flop to the ground. Next year I'll support it. Zone 7A. |

Give it time-does it get killed to the ground every year or do you protect it in your zone? |

Quoted from Rev144 Sometimes taking DEEP breaths in thru your nose then blow out your mouth helps calm you down. There have been times when I felt like I was going to be the proud recipient of another migraine and I do the deep breathing and it goes away.

Unlike 99% of all non-clerical Jews, I read the Torah (first 5 books of the Bibole, sacred to Jews) in its most authoritative translation.
The first thing to note, once you get past the notions that God or Moses wrote it, is that research into the text shows that it is the product of four authors, whose documents were edited together. This "documentary hypothesis" is as well-established as evolution, but many religious believers reject it. But that's why there are so many duplications -- sloppy editing. Deuteronomy was probably the work of one person.
Second, it's really primitive. Jews who make this document the center of their lives are fixated on the distant past. Successive waves of liberal Judaism have attempted to spin or whitewash the Torah, but it remains a document where women have no rights, slavery is acceptable, God urges the Israelites to commit ethnic cleansing, and much more gruesome stuff.
Third, NONE of it happened! The story -- exodus, Sinai, promised land -- is central to Judaism, but there's no evidence for any of it. There is no record of the Jews in Egypt, as slaves or in any other capaciity.
Atheists should know what's in the Bible and how the various parts got included. So when Christians get that beatific smile and talk about it being the word of God, you can give them a few kernels of truth about this document (about which they are largely ignorant, so it won't be hard to know more than they do).
I heard that routine YEARS ago and cracked up at its groundbreaking irreverence ("Who is this really? Am I on Candid Camera?").
When was the Torah written? Sometime in 1000---600 BC? Can you give me a general time period? How old is the Hebrew language?
There's an excellent book entitled The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts by Israel Finklestein and Neil Silberman. They date the first 5 books between 800 and 600 B.C.E. as an attempt, by the kingdom of Judah, to unite the kingdoms of Israel and Judah by showing pre-existing (and false) common bonds between the two. And, using false propaganda to show that Judah had always been dominant. Deuteronomy was written during the time of King Josiah (circa 620 B.C.E.) as an attempt to "prove" this unity of the two separate kingdoms, and tout Josiah as the messiah, until he met his demise - probably by the Egyptians. And, as Alan stated, Egyptian slavery, Exodus, David and Solomon being great kings ruling in the great city of Jerusalem - all of it BS. Jerusalem during the time of David was nothing more than a village of mud and stone huts.
That was one of the books I consulted as background for my own "An Atheist Reads the Torah" (it's on amazon).
The ancient Jews may have been a Mesopotamian people who attacked the fringes of the Egyptian Empire (think Somali pirates attacking the US Navy). Inscription from one Egyptian general boasts that "Israel's seed is no more" - an overstatement, of course.
"Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one," Judaism's holiest magic words, is an expression of "Hey guys, we're all Jews, so it's the same god [adonai and elohim, the latter a plural, which imples polytheism], no harm, no foul."
When i was young lad in catholic grade school, i believe they told us that the Torah was written by Moses himself!! As the years went by and I read more history, i no longer believed in that bit of mythology.It appears to be a fact that there is nothing outside of the Torah/Olde Testament that independently confirms the existence of Moses or any of those characters. The entire field of biblical archaeology , supported by the devout, has been a fruitless attempt to shore up the scriptures.
It must be difficult for any thinking person to be a fundie.
How could Moses (didn't exist) have written it if half of it happened before he was born (and he writes about himself in the 3rd person)?
If we understood how people can believe that demonstrable fantasy is truth, we would be a lot closer to the end of faith.
As a follow up question, if Deuteronomy is one of the books of Moses, how could he have written about his own death, after it happened? (Deuteronomy 34).
Couldn't get past Genesis dodgy Jacob and Rebekah talk about bent politicians
I understand fully. I made myself slog through it to prove there was nothing profound - and to differentiate text from spin: to be able to say, with authority, "No, it doesn't say that."

Bernanke: Anti-Stimulus Govs are Hurting the Economy
"Bernanke: Anti-Stimulus Govs are Hurting the Economy"
Let's take a moment to recall that Ben Bernanke was appointed to his current position by George W. Bush. He's not, in other words, a left-wing ideologue hell-bent on Europeanizing the United States. Or whatever. And listen to him about the impact of the stimulus-rejecting governors:
BERNANKE: If unemployment benefits are not distributed to the unemployed, then they won't spend them and it won't have that particular element of stimulus.
SEN. JACK REED (D-RI): So if this was done on a wide basis, it would be counterproductive, not productive?
BERNANKE: It would reduce the stimulus effect of the package, yes.
This grandstanding is bad for America. Bad only in a small way, it's true, because thankfully the amount of money being postured over is pretty small. But still bad. Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer's office has a statement out that's all over the intertubes indicating that the stimulus is not an à la carte menu, and governors need to either accept or reject the whole thing.

I'm a gentle, handsome little guy and my name is Patches. I'm a healthy, happy, playful puppy and would love to be adopted into a family who will love me and play with me. I'm a cuddle puppy and I give kisses and wag my tail a lot. If you'd like to meet me, please call my foster mom, Cathy, at (619) 822-1577 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you!

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

David Crosby is on the mend after undergoing emergency heart surgery on Valentine's Day.
A not posted at his official web site informs fans that Crosby "underwent a cardiac catheterization and angiogram, based on results of a routine cardiac stress test. The left anterior coronary artery was found to be 90 percent blocked and two stents were placed to provide blood flow to his heart muscle."
The posting said Crosby avoided a full-fledged heart attack and is "expected to have a full recovery," though he's postponing scheduled solo shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles until April.
The Crosby, Stills & Nash tour starting March 4 in Richmond, Va., will not be affected. Crosby said in the posting that, "I am very glad that I listened to my doctors and my family. It seems I am once again a very lucky man. I'm sorry to have to move the (concert) dates but I promise the music will be good when we do play them."
Crosby, of course, is no stranger to health issues; he had a liver transplant during 1994 and also suffers from type 2 diabetes.
His new album, "Croz" -- his first solo set in nearly 21 years -- debuted at No. 36 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the Top Folk Albums chart after its January 28 release.

I bought a whole bunch of these bumper stickers last week, and the profits go to Soldiers' Angels.
You can get yours at Freedom Sight — but hurry, as supplies are limited.

You think the bumper sticker will work ?
I'm thinking the only way to convince truly rational souls to swallow their pride and vote for McCain is to get them hammered before going to the polls.
And even hammered I don't think I could vote for the man.

I'm pretty sure I'll throw away my vote on Bob Barr. Or maybe Bill & Opus, if they're running again this year.

I respect ideological purism, but let's get real here. Not everyone who voted for Ronald Reagan thought he was perfect. Some thought that he was the lesser evil. There are two(and only two) candidates running with a snowballs' chance of winning this year. Which one is least objectionable? That's the one I vote for almost every time.

My bumper sports a home-made magnet that says simply "1.20.2009."
I've lost interest in who the next president might be. I'm just looking forward to the day that The Current Occupant will be gone.

On my blog I painted McCain as the Dunkirk candidate. The ideal candidate is a D-Day candidate, who will lead a major campaign against a vast array of destructive policies. Instead of that we have to vote for loss minimization – to "salvage what we can this year, and prepare for a decent fight with or without President McCain's help one or two Congressional elections from now."

You know I'm totally voting for Obama, but I may just have to buy a bunch of these anyway. Damn Jed, and his being way too hysterical for words.

My name is Granny Pearl!
Facts about Granny Pearl
- Breed: Labrador Retriever
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Senior
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
- ID#: Richmond, VA
Granny Pearl's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Pearl (or Granny P as she is called in her foster home) is one special senior! She is a 9 year old, 55# yellow (almost white) Lab mix. She was surrendered to a high kill shelter in Louisiana by an owner who could no longer care for her. The sweet pup caught the eye of a shelter volunteer and she was saved! She is now looking for a loving home thanks to the help of Bonnie Blue Rescue. Granny P loves to ride in the car, take long naps and go for leisurely walks outside. She is an excellent cuddle buddy and will snore next to you for hours while you are reading or watching TV. She is missing quite a few teeth (is mostly toothless in the front) but has no trouble eating crunchy dog food. Granny P is housetrained (with a doggie door) and crate trained although she is completely trustworthy uncrated. She sleeps though the night, won't chew your shoes or pee on your rug...just a few benefits of owning a "mature" pup!! Granny P is super with kids. She is good with most small dogs or puppies but seems to feel threatened by (and will pick fights with) dogs her own size or bigger. Granny P would probably be happiest as an only dog. She has no problem interacting with other dogs on walks or in public. While she is older, she definitely has LOTS of life left to live and LOTS of love left to give! She is a joy to have around...her tail never stops wagging and her toothless grin will melt your heart. Check out Granny Pearl in action during one of her more playful moments here - http://youtu.be/CfCf14yC0-w
Granny P is currently fostered in Louisiana, but free transport is available anywhere in the US!
If you are interested in ADOPTING Granny Pearl, please email us at email@example.com. Our adoption fee is $300; $75 of this adoption fee is refundable if proof of completion of obedience class is demonstrated within 3 months of adoption. Each of our pups goes to their forever families up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered, current on flea/tick/heartworm preventative and microchipped.

Additionally, no student shall conspire with any person or persons or aid any person or persons to commit or attempt to commit any of the foregoing.
Discrimination Based Violations:
No student shall engage in conduct that constitutes unlawful discrimination.
Violations of Health, Welfare and Safety
Alcoholic Beverages:
The use, consumption, possession, sale, manufacture, distribution or abuse of alcoholic beverages on University property, even for those of legal drinking age. Students present in the immediate environs where alcoholic beverages are used or found are also in violation of this section. Students who violate Pennsylvania State liquor laws off campus will also be in violation of this section. Violations of this section include providing alcohol to minors and selling or distributing alcohol without a liquor license. The presumption of possession is highest when alcohol and/or empty alcohol containers are found in a student's residence or vehicle, even if the residence or vehicle is shared with others.
Illegal Drugs/Controlled Substances:
The use, consumption, possession, sale, manufacture, distribution or abuse of illegal drugs or controlled substances or drug paraphernalia, including the sale of prescription drugs. Students present in the immediate environs where such materials are used or found, are presumed to be in possession and will be charged with possession of those materials, (but may rebut the presumption by clear evidence).

Disorderly Conduct:
Acts against public order and decency including, but not limited to, criminal mischief, trespassing, fighting, unreasonable noise, public intoxication resulting from the use of alcohol or controlled substances, lewd or indecent conduct, a breach of the peace, or aiding, abetting, and/or procuring another to do the same, and all other acts of disruption or disturbance, including the disruption or prevention of the peaceful and orderly conduct of classes, lectures, and other University functions. Students have the right to assemble within the parameters outlined in University Policy C005, "Rights of Students and Other Persons to Assemble for the Purpose of Demonstrating Their Concerns."
Possession, transportation, improper storage, use, or manufacture of firearms, fire crackers, guns, knives, explosives, weapons, or any item which is intended to be used as a weapon or has been modified or adapted so that it can be used as a weapon.
Violations of Law:
Violations of local, state, or federal laws or regulations. If an adjudication by a court of guilt or violation of law occurs, it will be deemed evidence of a violation of this section. However, the standards and procedures (including, but not limited to, determination of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt) of the courts or other agencies are not adopted, and violations will be determined in accordance with the University's rules and standards. The University is not necessarily bound by criminal law interpretation and will adjudicate cases according to its own rules and interpretation.
Act 175 of 1986 prohibits fraternities, sororities, and other student organizations from hazing applicants for membership and from hazing persons who are already members to maintain their memberships in organizations. The University also prohibits such activities and violations, which will be adjudicated under this Act and the University's procedures. Any organization found to have engaged in hazing may have its official recognition permanently revoked. Any student who participates in hazing may be fined, suspended or expelled from the University. Hazing is also a crime, and any student who participates in hazing may also be arrested and criminally prosecuted. Conviction may result in a jail term in addition to any other applicable penalty under the Pennsylvania Crimes Code. Persons who may be found in violation of hazing can include those who implement or initiate the hazing, anyone in a leadership role in the chapter, any new member who willfully participates in hazing activities during new member education, and/or any other victims agreeing to the hazing.
The following provides a definition and description of hazing:
An organization and its members are engaged in hazing if it engages, for purpose of initiation or continuing membership, in an action which recklessly or intentionally endangers the physical or mental health of a student. This means any potentially dangerous forced physical activity; any activity which could cause a student to suffer extreme mental stress; as well as any other form of forced activity potentially harmful to the mental health or dignity of a student.
Hazing activities include, but are not limited to, the following activities: whipping, beating, and/or branding; forced calisthenics; exposure to the elements; forced consumption of food, liquor, legal or illegal drugs, or any other substance; sleep deprivation; scavenger hunts; forced exclusion from social contact; conduct which could result in extreme embarrassment; nudity; coerced sexual activity; confinement; physical restraints or mental harassment.
An organization and its student members are also engaged in hazing if pledge, initiation or continuing membership activities cause the willful destruction or removal of public or private property.
Act 175 provides that no student can be considered to have consented to being hazed. Any activity falling within the definition of hazing activities is considered to be a forced activity, subjecting the organization and its members to the full range of penalties.
In addition, any violations of FIPG (Fraternity Insurance Purchasing Group) regulations on hazing, or guidelines of the University's Greek letter intake process, will be considered to be a violation of this Code of Conduct. A copy of these regulations can be obtained at the Student Activities Office.
These modes of transportation are never to be utilized inside of buildings. Exhibitions, tricks, or any travel that may involve the use of skates, skateboards, bicycles, or other means of conveyance that demonstrates an indifference to University property and/or has the potential to damage property is forbidden. At all times, pedestrians not utilizing these modes of transportation shall be given the right of way and at no time should their movement by impeded or safety compromised by the use of these items. At no time should the use of these devices disrupt or compromise the safety of a university event or activity.

Additionally, for safety reasons, no jumps over or onto any fixed objects, such as chains, barriers, planters, benches, tables, railings, walls, or other University property is permitted. Students may be held responsible for all repair costs for any affiliated damages.
Students shall immediately discontinue the use of any such device at the direction of university personnel.

This includes theft of telephone access codes, computer software, and theft of services. Students are also in violation of this section by obtaining property of the University or another person by misrepresentation or fraudulent means, or entering or using the facilities of the University or another individual without consent or authorization.

This includes, but is not limited to, using one's own electronic equipment to harass, threaten, or intimidate another person. Violation of this section will include the unauthorized use of University computer equipment for the purpose of performing any illegal operations, including accessing secure information or attempting to alter or interrupt the operation of University computer systems in any manner.
The intentional or negligent abuse, damage, or destruction of property owned or in the possession of the University or another person. This includes any acts causing or risking damage or loss of property.

Failure to Report Off Campus Infractions:
Students involved in off campus violations must report the violation to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs within seven (7) business days of the arrest/citation and report the outcome of this incident within seven days of a formal adjudication by the criminal courts system.

Violation of the Policy for Responsible Use:
Conduct that violates University policies, rules and guidelines, and course syllabi including, but not limited to, residence hall policies and rules, and the Policy for Responsible Use, as well as federal, state and local laws and ordinances, regardless of where the violation occurs.

I have been looking at photos of subway tile backsplashes (I recently posted the question asking for recommendations about crackle-glazed subway tiles), and I am noticing that almost all the white or off-white subway tile backsplashes seem to be used with white or off-white cabinets. However, my cabinets are a honey-spice maple (my granite countertop is a creamy off-white.) Does anyone have any photos to share of subway tile backsplashes used with light-toned wood cabinets? Do you think that off-white subway tiles with my cabinet color will be too stark looking or uninteresting? I love the white subway tile with white cabinets--but will I love it with honey-spice maple cabinets?
I can't seem to find a natural stone that works well with my granite (they all have too beige or pinky -beige of an undertone, or are too busy with my busy granite.) Thanks for any help you can give. |

Hi Fun... My backsplash is creamy white..Crema Marfil Tumbled Marble. It doesn't have any pink undertones..I've posted my kitchen many times, so I'm sure you've seen it. Here's a link to Arizona Tile. If it looks pinkish on your monitor, that's not how it looks in reality. Scroll down to see different sizes..I used the tumbled brick mesh 2 x 4 inch. KA:) |

I have a few pictures of subway. NOt all of them are white subway with light wood but maybe they can help others who are reading your post. Enjoy, ~boxerpups |
RJR- I love your glass mosaics with the white subway tile. May I ask what color/brand they are? They look like they might work as an accent for me. Kitchen additct:I googled to find your kitchen, and I do remember seeing it before-probably when I had googled for pics of crema marfil backsplashes! I do love the look of the crema marfil and had ordered a sample. However, my sample doesn't look like a "perfect" fit for my granite, but it is very close to what I think would look good.I had considered ordering another sample of a different kind. Yours really goes with yours. Is yours the turkish or Spanish crema marfil? I understand that there are different types and grades, and I wonder if that can affect the shading. thanks Boxer pups for the photos. The first one looks similiar to my cabinet color and granite color. I remember seeing this photo before. In looking at it- I don't think the backsplash does anything special for the kitchen-sort of plain vanilla. I think I'd like something to jazz it up, personally-maybe- like a row of glass mosaics? |

Hi again Fun.. I have no idea if mine is turkish or Spanish...sorry...but good luck in your search for the right tile! rjr..your kitchen is gorgeous...classy. and boxer...always enjoy the pics. KA:) |
Fun: the glass tiles are Sumi-e mosaic tiles, I chose the Ogari natural -- of course, my inspiration was another GW'er!. Made me blow the backsplash budget . . . . You can get samples from Mosaic source. Kitchenaddict -- thanks -- I've had to wipe the drool off my computer screen after looking at your kitchen! |

I've been making chili for quite awhile now, and, over the years, I feel that I've crafted a really good recipe, but I'd like to see how it stands up to others. Anybody here know of any local competitions that I could enter?
Are chili secrets highly protected like secrets in the world of BBQ competitions? I keep hearing that beer and chocolate are good in chili, but I've never used them. My secret ingredient is love, lots of love No, actually, I use a shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey.
