Junior Features Writer and Stylist, Jenna McArthur, chats to the man behind one of the most talked about blogs at the moment, Skattie, What Are You Wearing?, for the scoop on personal style, life as a blogger and where to hang out in Cape Town…
Describe yourself in three words?
I can't, I really struggle with that sort of thing but I do like to think of myself as hungry, not in the literal way of course… well maybe, but that's not what I mean here.
You describe yourself as a 'postponed revolution', what does this mean to you?
It's actually a very pretentious way of saying 'delayed change' or 'recovering procrastinator'. Revolution for me means a change of regime or system of doing things, I've always had lots of ideas but I've been very poor at follow-through in the past. This blog represents a change from that for me, a revolution postponed for far too long, finally an idea I've actually followed through on.
How would you describe your own style?
I tend to be very transient in that department. Currently I'm going through a bit of a funny phase, what some people might call 'fat', I like to think of it as 'the condition'. Not to offend the comfortably, morbidly obese but I struggle to find the appropriate style for 'the condition' so I end up in a lot of caftans, oversized shirts and size 38 tapered leg pants. However, 15 kilograms ago I used to like clean lines and a bit of play on colour with a street edge.
We love your blog. What inspired you to start it?
I'd thought about starting a 'style' blog ever since I was introduced to blogs, and I also realised that I had a lot of friends with interesting personal style and I wanted to kind of expose that. At first I thought it would be just something for me and my friends. I also tend to go to a lot of art exhibitions so I kind of recognised just how interesting people dress, so ja I guess one thing sort of led to another…
Tell us a bit about your approach?
Basically, whenever I go out I take pictures of people who are dressed in a manner that I find interesting and then I put the pics up on my blog. I also do a bit of a write-up, not necessarily about the clothes, in fact I prefer not to write about the clothes because style is so objective (within limits, of course). I really don't like prescribing and I sometimes get irritated when I read posts of bloggers who prescribe a lot.
Best moment as a blogger?
I can't pinpoint one moment but it's been a collection of moments up to this point where I'm realising that other people are actually enjoying the work that I put out there. At the risk of sounding cheesy and a bit pathetic, I get so excited with every person that clicks 'follow' on my blog, I always want to know who they are, there's probably a bit of a sick desire for validation from strangers buried deep somewhere. I appreciate every opportunity, for example this interview is now my new best moment, and if somebody should click 'follow' tomorrow, that'll be my new best moment. The support from people on the art scene in Cape Town also rates as a very special continuous moment for me.
New ventures?
Jonathan Garnham of Blank Projects motivated me to work on the Skattie Print Magazine and offered me his gallery space for the magazine launch. The first issue is currently available as a PDF which you can download on my blog. It's a space where I select the best posts from the last three months and then I get creative friends to contribute a page – it's an open space for them to express their creativity however they wish. For this first issue the contributing friends are David West (designer), Unathi Mkhonto (illustrator), Yazeed Kamaldien (writer/editor) and Athi-Patra Ruga (artist). I am going to start on the next issue soon, and I'm planning on making it bigger and offering it in print. It's very exciting.
Skattie, What Are You Wearing? is more than just fashion… what's your vision for the blog?
I've always fantasised about taking awesome pictures so I really want to get into photography and I want to improve on the quality of photographic work I do. I've also discovered that I actually enjoy writing through the blog, so I'd like to explore more of that, some sort of social commentary. I want to let things flow because I also think of the blog as a creative space for me away from my job. A space that is not ruled by market forces.
When you are not blogging, what keeps you creatively stimulated?
I work as a fashion buyer for a leading retailer and I feel lucky because the people I work with in my day job are very creative and they are mad about fashion.
Who's your favourite local designer?
I am going to get myself in trouble for this one but I really have to say I like David Tlale's work. Yes there are loads of conceptually brilliant designers (such as Black Coffee) and once upon a time that was totally my vibe, but I've come to admire the way David Tlale understands his customer. He really is in-synch with his market, and I admire that consistency.
What makes a woman beautiful?
In my view, I think it is an understanding of one's physique combined with their personality traits and being able to present that in its best light.
What do you look for in someone to feature on your blog?
A bit of theatre, something that says, 'I put a bit of thought into this and I understand my body', something that says, 'Look and weep'. I'm not necessarily looking for the trendiest, trends can be a bit boring.
What's the best part of working on your blog?
I love the editing, choosing the pics I think are more appropriate and laying them out in a way that hopefully tells a story.
What inspires you?
My partner, my friends and other people around me who constantly seek new previously undiscovered gaps in the city maze.
Where's your favourite spot to hang out in Cape Town?
I like mildly shady spots, so I always enjoy The Kimberly. Besides, it's the only bar in CT I know of that serves Black Label beer on tap. It's also a bit of an artist hangout and there are a lot of artists in Cape Town whose company I thoroughly enjoy. On Saturdays I like hanging out at the You & Me & Everyone We Know Market at the Labia. I'm very excited that they are now focusing more on doing Friday night markets, so I guess that'll be my new favourite Friday night hangout spot.
Top style tip?
Don't be scared, try it out. Put it on, look in the mirror, ask the opinion of a trusted friend, it really might just work.

Royal Dutch Shell is moving into French Guyana. On the surface, western Europe's biggest energy group buying into an exploration block is nothing terribly interesting. But, as with oil itself, the answer lies not at the surface, but deep below it.
By buying a 33 per cent interest Tullow's Guyane Maritime Permit, Shell is buying into 32,000 square kilometres of rock in waters 2,000-3,000 metres deep off the coast off French Guyana, a small French colony north of Brazil. Shell is also buying into the idea that those rocks are similar to the ones in Ghana, that house the giant Jubilee field.
Anadarko, the US independent oil company, and Tullow, listed in the UK, are both partners in the Jubilee field and the ambassadors of the theory that a pattern of rocks rich in oil stretches all along the west African coast, past the Cote D'Ivoire, Liberia and Sierra Leone and then heads out straight across the deep waters of the North Atlantic to the small French prefecture of Guiana on the northeast coast of Latin America.
Together the two companies have snapped up much of the right to explore the areas along the coasts (the industry still lacks the technology to stray too far out to sea). In October, the veracity of the companies' west African oil coast theory got a big boost when Anadarko found oil at its Venus well in Sierra Leonean waters. Suddenly, the rest of its plots became far more valuable.
Here is some analysis and a geology lesson from Deutsche Bank:
Shell's farm-in is supportive of Tullow's belief that Ghana's prospectivity extends into South America. A further farm-down is expected before year-end. Although French Guiana is separated from Ghana by the present-day Atlantic; 90 Mln years ago, when the sands that form Ghana's reservoir targets were deposited, the Atlantic was closed; Ghana and French Guiana connected. Seismic studies have already identified multiple Jubilee-type targets in French Guiana. These will now be refined into drill ready prospects using a 3,000km2 3D seismic survey; currently being gathered. Although we do not expect a French Guiana well in FY-10, the partnership has a commitment to drill by early-11.
But the story is not all about below-ground risk, which is the industry's term for the risk any company takes of drilling a well that comes up with nothing. The above ground, or political, risk is not to be sniffed at in places as troubled as Liberia, Sierra Leone and Cote D'Ivoire.
So French Guyana may be a long shot because it lies furthest from the Jubilee field. But it is attractive because it not only lacks a history of war and political instability. Its small population of about 200,000 could far more easily be lifted out of poverty by a significant oil find than say, the 20m people that live in Cote D'Ivoire, where oil wealth is more likely to enrich only a small group of corrupt politicians and their friends.

Very pleased with quality HiddenJewelAlaska from Alaska I don't know if anyone is like me and chopping vegetables and nuts is not his or her best skill. My old food chopper broke and I thought I would not miss it that much. Wow, was I wrong! So I have been on the hunt for one of high quality as I was tired of dealing with choppers that didn't do a top notch job.Then I spotted the Rosle Stainless Steel Onion and Vegetable Peeler from Wayfair. It looked like good quality from the picture and the reviews were decent. So I thought it was worth a try[...] There were no instructions included; however, the chopper is plenty easy to use.My initial impression of the Rosle Chopper was that it is made of durable material and should live up to my expectations. The blade protector even has a little handle for easy removal and cleaning.Upon testing, those expectations have definitely been met. The rotating blades made short work of everything I tested. Onions diced small in about 6 chops. Pickles, pecans, apples, and almonds all were a breeze to chop. The almonds didn't chop evenly but that is pretty typical for them. Frozen fruit didn't even pose a problem for the Rosle Chopper. It made it into nice even slivers. Now I thought dried apricots might cause issues, but it actually worked and I ended up with a nice pile of tiny, diced apricots. Clean up was a bit more of a pain after that since they were so sticky. But with everything else, clean up has been as simple as rinsing out the 3 pieces and letting them drain.Operating the tools is also simple. The only thing to watch is that your chops are precise and you let the chopper return to the top before your next chop or the food will bind. The proper movement is quite natural making this a very minor issue.So down to the big questions – Is the Rosle Stainless Steel Vegetable and Onion Chopper worth the price? I would have to say that if you cook or bake a lot and don't like chopping by hand, it is definitely worth the price. That is saying a lot coming from me as I am pretty tight with my purchases. However, there are just times when I would rather have a high-quality, more expensive product than one that drives me to frustration every time I use it. I am very pleased to finally have a good quality chopper in my cupboard. It makes it so much easier to make recipes such as granola, peanut butter/apple tortillas, and tuna salad.Disclosure:A credit was received toward this product by Wayfairs. No further compensation was received. Opinions expressed in this review are my own. |
The Super Slapper Lucy Adams from Thomson, GA When my husband unwrapped his Christmas gift, a huge grin broke across his face. He said, "Oh you got me one, a super slapper." I received it as a free product from Wayfair in exchange for using it and writing a review. As it was Christmas, I decided to give it to my husband as a replacement of one we had previously, made by another company out of less durable materials. The stainless steel body of this chopper can withstand the vigorous use my husband puts it through. |
Chopper anonymous from Connecticut– Verified Buyer I liked this chopper, it does the job very well. I am going to give it a 5 star rating. |
solid and useful Caspar from West Virginia– Verified Buyer Very useful, very sturdy and well worth the price. It has cut preparation time by quite a bit. You do have to be careful cleaning it, cause you can cut yourself - but sufficient warning is included in the instructions. I do wish there were a somewhat larger version. It was a good purchase for me. |
plastic james gladysz from FLAGLER BEACH, FL– Verified Buyer all the choppers i have used are plastic they do not hold up so far this one does a geat job. |
Stainless Steel Onion and Vegetable Chop erinnicole14 from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer Very high quality product!! I use to it chop vegetables...mainly onions, and it works great! easy to clean, easy to use, and attractive appearance!! |
Beautiful - Initially Frightening Der Hermanator from Carpinteria CA– Verified Buyer Initially left the beautiful thing on the counter; reading the instructions was frightening. Weeks passed and I finally took a deep breath and was able to disassemble the thing and give it its required initial washing. The blades must be air dried. When ready to use its a dream...but requires care in cleaning and reassembly. Not for the ADHD afflicted or easy bleeders. If you have OCD, you will love attending to it and will be rewarded by as-advertised great performance. |
Easy to Use Jen from boynton beach, FL– Verified Buyer Chops and dices and cleans in seconds.thanks for saving me time.5 star quality |
Not worth it Elizabeth from New York, NY– Verified Buyer Not a time saver....have stopped using it. Took longer to take apart and wash than using a knife. |
Where have you been all my life? Retired RN from Radford, VA– Verified Buyer This saves so much time in chopping garlic, sliced mushrooms, vegetables and nuts. It isn't difficult to clean but it would be absolutely fantastic (10 stars) if the whole thing was dishwasher safe. |

"I love these cards! I can't wait to send them out. The color (black and white) are crisp and bold, my only complaint is I wish the paper quality was a little thicker."
"This was so easy to design, and I love the small size, as I will be tucking these into Christmas cards. The order was delivered quickly and without issue. I would use Tinyprints again in a flash."
"I love these cards. They arrived before the date they gave me which is always nice because when you order things like this you can't wait to get them and send them off to friends and family! I loved that I got to customize what I wanted on the card. And since I didnt want to put my email or phone number on the card I just made my address bigger and spread it out and they still came out awesome!!'"
"I haved moved several times and it is actually hard to find nice-looking change of address cards. I wanted something a little different from the Drugstore kind and did not want to pay for custom stationary, I found these and there were perfect. I am toally happy with the designs that were offered and pricing was reasonable. I would definitely order from here again."
"We recently moved to the USA from our expat adventure and this was the perfect design. Plus, love the arrow placement as many people don't know where our new city is."

Boots Riley of the Coup on striking at Walmart, the Occupy movement and the art of rebellion
A number of your songs have, thankfully, gotten under the skin of a number of people who probably need to have their cage rattled. Is that something you aim for in writing a song?
No, I mean, I think of my songs of not trying to be preachy like, "You should do something different," as opposed to, "Hey, we have a common enemy, let's go after it." I think that's the difference in most of the songs. It's not telling people that they have something that they need to fix within themselves, but someone else has something we need to go fix. So it's more inclusive.
Some of the songs might get under some folks' skin -- "Five Million Ways to Kill a CEO." There is a very small percentage of the population that are CEOs. Sometimes on some of the YouTube videos there are a couple of people that are staunch Ayn Rand followers. Like the Ayn Rand folks have latched on to commenting about a couple of things. There aren't that many of them but somehow they're on all of my [stuff on the internet].
You taught a class called, was it, "Culture and Resistance: Persuasive Lyric Writing"?
It was just called "Persuasive Lyric Writing"? That was a high school class.
What did you try to teach your students, and how did that opportunity come about?
I was working a lot with teachers who had gotten their students to be very active and involved. They managed to close the school down a few times. Then the school district came and asked the teachers, "Hey, how would you like to have your own school?" Like, "Get out of here and do your own thing and get out of our hair." So they did their own school called the High School of Social Justice. They invited me to teach a course, so that's what I taught.
It was kind of like how I wish a poetry class would be taught. Which is analyzing what other folks did and then giving assignments. But the point was that it wasn't just appreciation; it was looking at tools that people used to be persuasive. You know, making songs that aren't just observational but are trying to get someone to want to do something. We listened to all sorts of songs and talked about various techniques and styles people used in describing things. Those sorts of things.
How did you get involved in Galactic, and what it is about their music that you found interesting?
A couple things kind of happened at the same time. Galactic was on Epitaph, and they were already thinking of asking me to do a song for an album. Separately, me and Tom Morello were in New Orleans doing a benefit. We happened to walk into this bar, and there was a band playing. We were talking about Street Sweeper Social Club, which we were about to do. Then the band was playing in the other room, and Tom was like, "That is the best drummer I have ever heard in my life? Who is that? Who is that guy? We need him to play in Street Sweeper Social Club. It was Stanton Moore. We didn't know who he was, but we talked to him, and he said, "Oh, I'm in Galactic."
Separately they asked me to do a song, and I did that. Then they asked me to come with them to SXSW and Bonaroo. I did those, and they ended up saying, "Let's not just play our songs; we learned some Coup songs." They had me come out, and little by little, it turned into this whole thing where I go and play five or six songs with them in the middle of their set. I liked it because they're cool people and easy going. They're very skilled musicians. The reason for doing so was a way to get the Coup's music out there.
However, I found, unfortunately with that scene, it's about getting drunk and getting high, and nobody's hearing whatever the hell I'm saying, so it was very unsatisfying. When people are drunk and high, they're going to be dancing all night no matter what. I could say my name or the Coup's name over and over, they don't know what I'm saying. They all thought I was part of Galactic.
Why did you invoke the name of the social realist painter David Siqueiros and Andy Warhol in "You Are Not a Riot"?
I wanted to talk about art and the aesthetic of rebellion that people use. Even in rock and roll, there's this rebellious aesthetic. I don't care if it's the Beatles or the Rolling Stones: "We're against something!" Why is that attractive? It's attractive because we know that the system is fucked up. And we know that we should be rebelling against it. So folks get that rebellious aesthetic, not only without being rebellious, but by selling us the opposite of rebellion and using that rebellious aesthetic to reinforce the ideas that the system gives us, that not only should we stay in our place, but that anything that challenges the system is problematic. I think Andy Warhol fell into this category.
But I wanted to talk about that in general, and David Siqueiros was like a crazy dude. He actually was in the Mexican Revolution and rolled with Pancho Villa and [Emiliano] Zapata and all that kind of shit, right? He was a revolutionary, and just through rumors years later, he was accused of having tried to kill [Leon] Trotsky. He wasn't only revolutionary that way; he was also revolutionary aesthetically. He did these big murals that were cutting edge but also got his point across.
He wasn't only social realist. It was clear, pretty much, what he was trying to do. He also invented the technique of putting paint in a fire extinguisher to be able to hit up walls real quick. At one point at the Venice Biannale, in the '50s, he started chiding all these South American artists coming there with all this abstract art. There were revolutions going on all over European countries and all of the world and you choose to do some shit that nobody knows what the fuck you're talking about? He was probably going overboard, but he was accusing artists of being CIA agents and things like that.
Now, he was kind of crazy, but it turns out there is a little truth to what he was saying, in that the FBI was giving money to foundations to fund abstract art -- apolitical art -- purposefully to counteract the movement because artists were drawn to the Communist Party and were drawn towards doing art that meant something. So the FBI wanted to counteract that by making sure there was funding for a movement in art that was abstract and they funded Jackson Pollock through foundations.
And Andy Warhol was famous for the idea of being disconnected -- like none of it matters. This is all a show. And being all about the money. So it's like this cutting edge aesthetic and different, as if it's challenging norms, but it isn't really. I used those two figures to talk about something more. So I imagined what would happen if Andy Warhol had sent David Siqueiros an invitation to a party. And the song was David Siqueiros' answer, his RSVP.

In light of some of the recent discussions that have been happening lately, both on the issues of Christology and the logos asarkos and my other recent posts on ecclesiology and ecumenism, I have been driven back, again and again to the Nicene Creed. Both of these discussions have led me to think afresh of what it might mean for us to think about theological issues in a pronounced and self-consciously creedal manner. To that end, I am offering another, albeit briefer series of posts on the theology of the Nicene Creed. What I am seeking is an exercise of "creative fidelity" in which, hopefully the pendulum will swing neither over-much toward uninhibited creativity nor towards a merely static fidelity. The goal is, so to speak, a 'non-identical repetition' which will faithfully articulate a theology (or at least some theological themes) which takes the regulative role of the creed with the utmost seriousness, and which simultaneously reveals the subversive and revolutionary power of Creedal Christianity.
I plan to post one essay on each of the major headings of the Creed: God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Church, and finally a concluding statement on creedal Christianity.
§1. Credo in unum Deum: The Almighty Father
§2. Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum: The One Jesus
§3. Et in Spiritum Sanctum: The Giver of Life
§4. Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam: The Church of the Triune God
§5. Credo: Christianity as Confession

Boston Police Confiscate Sink From Protest Camp
December 8, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Karin Friedemann, TMO
After a four day court battle, Suffolk Superior Court Judge Frances McIntyre ruled to extend a restraining order blocking the City of Boston from clearing out the tent city at Dewey Square. She will make a final ruling by Dec. 15. Until then, city officials can't kick out the Occupy Boston protesters.
Occupy Boston started in Dewey Square on September 30, 2011. It was directly inspired by Occupy Wall Street in New York City. The continued occupation of Dewey Square—located in the heart of Boston's Financial District—is one of more than 120 Occupy encampments in cities across the nation.
The protesters want elected officials to address the economic needs of the people and want to end the influence of corporate lobbyists. Mayor Thomas Menino states that he essentially agrees with these viewpoints, but feels that the park should be available for everyone, and that these issues would be best brought up with Washington. Fire Marshalls say the protest site is a fire hazard, while the Board of Health has pointed out health hazards related to lack of sanitation.
Occupy Boston attempted to address some of these concerns by bringing in a donated sink that was equipped for both hand-washing and dish-washing using bottled water. They also tried to bring in fireproof, winterized tents as well as wooden pallets to make the walkways safer. All these items have been confiscated by the police, who labeled them "contraband."
On December 1, a struggle took place between protesters and police hauling away the donated sink from the food tent, which resulted in three arrests as people blocked the streets to prevent removal of the sink. The Occupy Boston website reads:
"Since the restraining order from Judge McIntyre prevents the Boston Police from dismantling our camp except in the case of a fire, violence, or other emergency, we are puzzled by this police action."
Authorities have banned protesters from bringing material that could be used to convert the encampment into a permanent dwelling. Mayor Menino stated: "We're not going to have them build a new town there."
The City of Boston finds itself in a contradictory position. On one hand, the Mayor has frequently supported the right of protesters to voice their opinions while expressing concerns about safety, but on the other hand, the City is removing items essential for improving the health and safety of the protesters.
Protesters insist: "You cannot evict an idea. Occupy Boston will continue to improve our community in Dewey Square. We ask that the BPD uphold their stated commitment to protecting public safety by allowing Occupy Boston to properly maintain and equip our encampment for the cold weather."

Occupy W Street Growing
October 13, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Boston Correspondent Karin Friedemann reports on growing "Occupy Boston" phenomenon
By Karin Friedemann, TMO
Since the end of September, hundreds of protesters under the banner "Occupy Boston" have set up camp in downtown Boston, Massachusetts to support the ongoing "Occupy Wall Street" protests in New York. Their demands are varied, but seem to be focused on unemployment, rising food prices, and the unfairness of billions of dollars of tax money being spent on useless wars and bank bailouts while the American dream of home ownership and "a chicken in every pot" steadily dies, as ordinary citizens lose their financial security.
Tents have filled up a public park while crowds chant slogans such as "Tax the Rich," hold up hand made signs and fill the air with music and drumming. Celebrities have come to perform, and the homeless have been receiving free food and clothing. Compared to the scene in New York, Occupy Boston is enjoying a festive atmosphere despite the chilly weather, free of tension without any hint of police brutality. Various people drop by with donations of money, food, blankets and kind words, while the number of campers continues to grow.
The mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino and the governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick have decided that there will be no arrests of protesters and have in fact stated publicly that they support the right of citizens to express their opinions. The protesters have been told they are free to camp out as long as they choose.
Media criticism has focused on the cost upon taxpayers to pick up the garbage and provide the tent city with electricity. It is highly probable that the City of Boston has decided to avoid the bad press that comes along with police violence against angry mobs. It is also much cheaper to provide these very basic services to the protesters than to arrest and detain them and then pay for all of them to go to trial and provide them all with court-appointed lawyers. Furthermore, there might be some quiet agreement with the slogan "Tax the Rich" among many in the leadership, for this is one of the principles upon which the State of Massachusetts operates, as the only state in the US that provides free health insurance to the lower middle class.
Massachusetts is already well-known as the US state which takes the best care of its poorer citizens out of its wealthy tax base, providing government-subsidized child care starting from the age of one month, after school and summer programs for teens, nearly free sports programs, food and cash aid and reduced housing prices for the poor. Yet it is still not enough for everyone to feel secure. The working middle class is hardest hit by the economy since they do not qualify for most of these programs and often go into debt trying to provide for their families due to medical bills, childcare or the high price of gasoline.
Occupy Boston is not your usual group of punks and hippies with nothing else to do but complain. The movement has been joined by college students, nurses, pilots, and other workers. As I drove on the highway today past the electrical workers' union I saw a fancy electrical sign reading "We the People Occupy Boston."
America's largest labor union, the AFL-CIO with 11 million members has backed the growing movement, stating: "The Wall Street banks and the largest corporations refuse to pay their fair share of taxes while our infrastructure crumbles. They sit on record profits while the rest of the country suffers, and they still refuse to put people back to work."
The Boston Herald reports that many of the elderly are showing their support. A retired 71-year-old gentleman, who ran his own corporate headhunting firm, visited the tent village yesterday afternoon to advise the young people to focus on making clearer demands. "I'd like to see the group more focused on applying pressure to specific areas," he stated.
Some feel it makes no sense using so much personal energy to speak out against such a vague term as "Corporate Greed" without actually naming names of bankers or lobbyists who should go to jail, for example, or demanding some specific reforms of the process of electing public officials. Specifically, Occupy Boston could use its voice to demand universal health care for all of Massachusetts, a measure that would even save the rich thousands of dollars a year. MassHealth is the best health insurance in America, with zero co-payments and even free replacements for broken eyeglasses. Preventing disease is so much less costly than treating it.
Occupy Boston is a unique and bizarre political situation, where banks and financial corporations have opened their doors to the hundreds of anti-bank anti-corporation protesters to let them use the toilet. The unrest seems to be good for local capitalism, since all these people have to eat. One of America's leading pro-Israel advocates Rabbi Michael Lerner has been actively recruiting Jews to participate in the protests – perhaps to steer the conversation away from cutting US aid to Israel, which would be an obvious way to quickly make more money available to the masses of disgruntled Americans.
Even more contradictory are the conflicting views of the people involved. Right-wing Libertarian protesters demand an end to the credit-based economy and want to return to the Gold Standard, while the Leftists and Liberals simply want to steer more borrowed government money into improving and expanding welfare programs. But most are in agreement that jobs are more important than foreign wars and that the government needs to focus more on its citizens not the demands of corporate lobbyists.

I got new oak doors in my 1920's house and I want to reuse the hardware. I polished the old brass hinges. Now I'm trying to clean up the copper or copper coated door plates and knobs. They had paint on the edges so I used Citrus strip to remove the paint. Now I've been trying to clean them with Brasso with mixed results.
I either can't get all the tarnish off or I encounter silvery areas or dark gray areas that won't come off no matter how much I rub. Is there a better strategy than Brasso? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
"I encounter silvery areas or dark gray areas that won't come off no matter how much I rub." You may have copper plating and it is simply worn away. |
- Posted by haus_proud (My Page) on Tue, Dec 11, 07 at 9:25
If what you have is more than copper plating, you might try to clean it with clear ammonia full strength. This is harsh and corrosive. Wear rubber gloves, use it sparingly, and avoid breathing in the fumes. |
Thanks for the responses. A magnet sticks which I believe tells me that it's not all copper. I need to reuse them with my doors so I'll proceed carefully. Thanks! |

HTTPS More Vulnerable To Traffic Analysis Attacks Than Suspected
Unknown Lamer posted about a year ago | from the working-out-the-bugs dept.
17msm1267 writes "Researchers have built new attack techniques against HTTPS traffic that have been effective in learning details on users' surfing habits, leaking sensitive data that could impact privacy. They tested against 600 leading healthcare, finance, legal services and streaming video sites, including Netflix. Their attack, they said in a research paper, reduced errors from previous methodologies more than 3 ½ times. They also demonstrate a defense against this attack that reduces the accuracy of attacks by 27 percent by increasing the effectiveness of packet level defenses in HTTPS, the paper said. 'We design our attack to distinguish minor variations in HTTPS traffic from significant variations which indicate distinct traffic contents,' the paper said. 'Minor traffic variations may be caused by caching, dynamically generated content, or user-specific content including cookies. Our attack applies clustering techniques to identify patterns in traffic.'"

State looks for owners of $64 million in unclaimed propertyStaff Report | November 05,2013MONTPELIER — The state Treasurer's office is currently in the middle of fall outreach efforts to alert Vermonters to search for unclaimed property.
There's now more than $64 million in Vermont's unclaimed property fund.
During the last fiscal year, the average claim paid $385 in cash to 13,435 individuals who discovered they had unclaimed financial property.
"Vermonters are finding that taking the time to check each year can really pay off," said State Treasurer Beth Pearce. "At this year's Champlain Valley Fair we had 950 claim form requests made on $173,121 in unclaimed property. The largest amount of a single claim request was $28,793."
Through November 13, the office will distribute its annual publication of new unclaimed property listings through newspapers across the state. Additional advertising will direct people to search for their name at MissingMoney.Vermont.gov.
Financial property becomes "unclaimed" after a business or nonprofit entity loses contact with a customer for a period of years. The property is sent to the State Treasurer's Office to locate the property owner. Unclaimed property includes cash, checks, security deposits, refunds, stocks, bonds, insurance policies, bank accounts, and estates.
There is no time limit for filing a claim and no charge to claim funds through the Treasurer's office.
Vermonters are advised to be wary of services that offer to locate property for a fee. Vermont law forbids such businesses, known as asset locators, from charging more than 10 percent of the value of the unclaimed property for their services.
Anyone with questions should contact the Unclaimed Property Division by calling 828-2407 or (800) 642-3191.MORE IN This Just InPSB orders Full StoryBOYS BASKETBALL Full StoryPROCTOR The Phantoms wouldnt win titles if they couldnt handle a little pressure. Full Story -

There really is no excuse!
January 21, 2013 in Media, Smart thinking
A couple of days later than usual for the first blog of the year – but with one of the most inspirational reads I had in years!
This is what you must – not should! – begin the new year with: Bend, not break. A life in two worlds by Ping Fu the Ceo of Geomagic, that's the company that provides the software for 3D scanners to talk to 3D printers.
This is the tale of a young girl who lived with her aunt and uncle in a wonderful three storied house in Shangai whose idyllic life burst apart at age 9, one afternoon in 1966 when Mao's Red Guards ripped her from her family and shoved her off to live in decrepit barrack to be rehabilitated from her "black blood" contrast to the "red blood" of the uneducated revolutionaries. After a while her younger sister joined her and she had to take care of both. No schooling, she had to start working in factories at age 12.
Yet she survived. When after 11 years university education once again began in Chine (yes can you believe under Mao's cultural revolution there was no university eductation for 11 years in China!) she got admission to study literature. She got on to the student newspaper, but a report on her research of the one child policy in China leading to the murder of female babies got her deported from China. An old student of her father's ( who was an aeronautical engineer – also sent to do hard labour during the revolution) was at the University of New Mexico. He got a place for her at the University and with $80 in her pocket an three English words in her vocabulary she enrolled at the university, eventually earning a science degree which got her onto the team of Marc Andreesen that developed Mosaic, the forerunner of all the web browsers we use today.
then she founded Geomagic. But go read the story.
There really is no excuse to falter before the obstacles thrown at us.
And it made me muse, instead of this year thinking how we can support our children, why not think about how you can put obstacles in their way?
It might just be better for their development!

I am a wedge lover. A wedge enthusiast. A wedge worshipper. A wedge fan through and through. It is the perfect "mom" shoe. I say that because I am indeed a mom. However, if I were from any other walk of life, I'd still say wedges are the perfect shoe. They offer the obvious bonus of elongating the leg with their height, yet without ball of the foot pain. Second, they look fantastic with just about anything you could throw on. From shorty-shorts to maxi skirts, they get the job done. Third, stability, baby. You won't look like Bambi's twin in wedges since they support the entire foot. No unplanned "man-down" awkward moments while wearing wedges.
These Jaxon wedges are one of my favorite pairs. I scored them for the sum of $24.99, and reach for them again and again. The elastic strap across the ankle make them ridiculously easy to slide on and off. Have you seen them in pink? Oh man, covet-ville. I almost caved and bought these today, but held back my wedgetarian urges.
Speaking of, let's talk about the sale ladies. I know it was good for some. Myself? Well…you could say so. I had a 15% off birthday coupon handed to me by a dear friend that she didn't plan to use herself, so I ended up checking out with the following, and an extra percentage off to boot:
I never tried on the Carolinae top, so I hope it works. I just love the orange/green color-play in it. Also have never seen the Maeve skirt IRL, but I love the embroidered touches and longer length. I really hope it's fab. I have tried on the crops, Neapolitan blouse, and seamless tanks before, so I know it's already love. Better yet, my order has already shipped. Hot dang!
So, now that I've shared….it's your turn. What did you grab? Victorious shoppers abound out there….I know it. Throw me a bone!
Here's hoping your day was fabulous. Anticipation is mounting here for our trip next week. MacGyver, Mr. Banks, and myself will be jetting off to Seattle on Monday, and I couldn't be more giddy about it!!! Seattle is a definite contender for us as far as where we will move next. I am permagrinning about the possibility of an ENTIRE WEEK with highs under 60 degrees. In April? Ludicrous. And fabulous! I've lived in hot locales all my life. I'm done. Sweat dripping down my spine in April just gets me pissy mad. Here's to layering, cloudy skies, and seeing the coast!!!
Any Seattle-ites out there have suggestions on things we should definitely do and see? So far we're definitely eating at Iver's, taking a ferry ride, and perhaps doing a tour of the underground. I'd love to hear your suggestions. Guidance welcome. Take care y'all!
xoxo Molly

Through spectacular animation, enter a shark's body to learn how it hones in on its prey using its unique sense of electro-reception. And join in the discovery of a gigantic deepwater species known as "Megamouth," with the first ever close-up footage.
This Week's Snag Film: River Ways
The state of our lakes, rivers, and oceans is a hot topic in the news right now, so this week's Snag Films documentary offering is especially prescient. RIVER WAYS explores the lives of regular working people affected by the issue of four dams on Snake River in Eastern Washington.
Filmmaker Colin Stryker journeys to Washington state, where he chronicles the lives of everyday citizens struggling on either side of a divisive issue: whether to remove a series of hydroelectric dams from the Snake River. While groups of American Indians, environmentalists and fishermen advocate for removing the dams to replenish the local salmon population, farmers and other locals rely on the dams as an inexpensive source of electricity.
This Week's Snag Film: The Yunnan Great Rivers Expedition
If you like the great outdoors, then you'll love The Yunnan Great Rivers Expedition – a whitewater expedition through the upper Mekong, Salween and Yangtze rivers. And this documentary has earned a five-star rating from Snag Films viewers!
In a remote corner of Southwest China, three of Asia's greatest rivers plunge off the Tibetan Plateau through steep canyons in the Himalayas thousands of feet deep. This stunningly beautiful film captures the incredible journey of a whitewater expedition, as it explores the upper Mekong, Salween and Yangtze rivers. More than a wild adventure, the two-month expedition was an ambitious partnership with the Nature Conservancy and the Chinese government to help protect one of the most biodiverse and culturally diverse regions in the world.
From the Mekong River's hidden Moon Gorge in the Himalayas to the towering canyon walls of the Yangtze River's Great Bend, an odyssey of exploration and adventure and environmental activism.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lilly, a Oak Creek German Shepherd Dog/Pharaoh Hound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog/Pharaoh Hound for sale in Oak Creek, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog/Pharaoh Hound dog from a breeder in Oak Creek.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Oak Creek 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 Oak Creek 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 German Shepherd Dog/Pharaoh Hound breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog/Pharaoh Hound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Oak Creek paves the way for another one to be saved.

Stick Shift
Her complaint was that he downshifts their automatic into second gear when he slows down, which is, obviously, madness. She said that this drove her crazy because it was bad for the car and that she "had to pay half the car payments." I nearly jumped out of my seat in the Fashion Pod because I thought she was going to say he would leave their automatic in gear when stopped and PULL UP THE PARKING BREAK because that's what my ex used to do, and in spite of what a docile super-trad girlfriend I was at the time, it made me want to bite pieces out of the dashboard and throw myself screaming onto the pavement.
To my great shame, I'm the only person in my family who can't drive a stick shift with ease. I learned but never really practiced. The Car Talk brothers told the Coloradan wife that not only did putting the car in second gear not hurt the car but that she should be sympathetic to Husband because men these days so often don't feel like they're useful and that was his way of feeling like he was DOING something.
Okay. My ex wasn't even driving his own car. He wasn't even driving my car. He was driving my mom's car. Nothing prevented him from buying his own car and coming to pick me up for things, but he didn't, nor was he a very good driver. This was years and years ago but I'm still thinking about it, because I have no idea why he didn't buy his own car.
And the woman who called into Car Talk. It's not about the wear and tear on the car. It's about how she has to pay half the car payments and then still be expected to put up with his manly foibles. What does she get out of this? Oh yeah, nothing, because he's not taking care of her by paying for the car himself. Maybe if he wanted to feel like a man he could have done that very basic of American male things--have a car. And that universal manly thing--pay for stuff for his wife.
I would like to know what was preventing Mr. Colorado from buying his own damn stick shift instead of expecting his wife to finance his fantasies.
All this talk about women taking over stuff men used to do is nonsense. Men just don't do the same stuff they used to do. Nothing is stopping Mr. Latin Mass from getting up going to Mass every morning or getting involved with his church, he just would rather feel sorry for himself than DO SOMETHING.
I'm a bit tipsy on a Monday, so tonight you get the unedited version. Tomorrow I will have blogger's handover, I'm sure, so enjoy it while it lasts.

When you leave an automatic in gear, does that mean neutral?
And why did your ex-boyfriend have to buy his own car when he could drive yours or your mother's? ;-) I'm not saying he was right, but it's true that when people don't take what is clearly the easy, logical next step, it's because there's a sense in which they don't have to.
Anyway, this reminds me of one of my former friends. She never let her ex-boyfriend drive her car because she didn't like the way he drove his father's. He honestly couldn't afford to buy his own, but that was her policy.RepliesI should have said he left the car in drive, not in gear. So instead of just putting it in park, he left it in drive and pulled up the handbreak. I was trying to remember if he put it in neutral and then pulled up the handbreak, but I don' think he did.
It's true he was able to survive without a car by relying on the kindness of others. I suppose that wouldn't have been the case if everyone he knew had taken your former friend's approach, but that seems a bit antagonistic to me. I'd rather date a guy that I wouldn't have to worry about that kind of thing with. Maybe that's an unrealistic expectation.
This plays into my theory that men, if they're not independent, are a burden. There' no "neutral." I really think it ends up hurting women when men don't take pride in looking after themselves.
It's funny. 'Men just don't do the same stuff they used to do,' reminds of an article I read a while back on the guardian website about the birth of the Women's Lib movement where a lot of the women were actually saying how what inspired them was the very fact that men's roles had changed and men no longer felt they had the responsibility that their father's had once thought was key to being fully matured adult male.
Once you have a culture where men are even allowed to entertain the thought that having a wife and family, working the boring job to make ends meet is dehumanising, un-fun just not what a real Man should do, the shift in identity and accompanying roles ends up biting a lot of women in the back (and actually, the more I've learned about gender roles in the past and how both sexes saw marriage - check out Professor Amanda Vickery's research on Georgian society for example - I'm beginning to see this as a recurring trend: men 'stop doing what they used to' and legitimise their new roles and conduct, women react by seeking more ways to financially and legally protect themselves).

NEW YORK - Playwright William Gibson, whose "The Miracle Worker" has thrilled audiences for nearly a half-century with the true story of the deaf-blind Helen Keller`s rescue from a world of ignorance, has died. He was 94.
Gibson died Tuesday in Stockbridge, Mass., according to the Finnerty & Stevens Funeral Home in Great Barrington.
Gibson wrote a dozen plays, including the Tony-winning "Two for the Seesaw," but would be forever known for "The Miracle Worker." First written for television, the story of a young Keller forging a relationship with her teacher, Annie Sullivan, made its Broadway debut in 1959.
"Nothing in the theatre this season is so overwhelming as the last inarticulate but eloquent scene in which a frantic little...

Aww Daniel - I'm just a fan like yourself from Arizona. But I just found your thread here and had to reply.
Your concert sounds fantastic! I was watching the overseas concerts and they sure look amazing. Enough that I dream of going over there for a festival sometime in the next few years. That would be awesome!
I've dreamed of meeting Ozzy too, many times over the years. I am not rich though, so until he did these book tours it's been nothing more then that, a dream. Now, Wednesday, it will be a dream come true. =0).

Schedule of Events
Terry Dean, South District Membership Chairman
"On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again…" Wait a minute!! This is supposed to be a lead in to an off road event. So let's change this to something more appropriate. "On the trail again, just can't wait to get on the trail again…" Gotta love Willie Nelson.
Okay, so our theme is "On the trail again with family & friends" for 56th Annual Convention February 20-22, 2015 in Visalia at the Lamp Liter Inn. This is a South District hosted event and we hope to pull out all the stops to impress everyone. Bonnie Ferguson and Angela Cook are your convention co-chairs. We need clubs, people to step up and assist with the event. You can call them and offer your support.
They would love to hear from you: Bonnie 661-943-9744 or Angela 760-505-3579.
I remember my first convention that I attended, it was a blast!! There were rooms with videos playing of old trail runs with MB's & CJ3 & 5's. Must have been from the old time days, you know, before fuel injection. When did Jeep start making roll cages? Anyway, I wondered around the rooms looking at all the neat history and the funny drinks. Some came out of radiators, some had something to do with spring shackles and some just didn't have a name, I think. I drank all of them so I my memory may be a little faded.
Point is, I really enjoyed that convention and has brought me back every year since. We in the South District should be able to host an event that surpasses this one and last year's event!

Forbidden Planet is an exhibition that brings together four artists who examine a relationship between science-fiction and the landscape.
Originally written in 1952 as a story by Irving Block and Allen Adler titled Fatal Planet, Forbidden Planet is a science-fiction film set in the 23rd century presenting a group of explorers sent on a mission to the Planet Altair IV to investigate the fate of an earlier expedition. Forbidden Planet was the first science fiction film entirely set on another planet in deep space far away from planet Earth, and it contributed to developing our collective shared unconscious of the genre of science fiction.
Better known as a painter, Julian Grater presents in this exhibition previously unseen photographs from his research expeditions. As part of Grater's ongoing project The Lichen Factor, begun in 2002 in Canada and Alaska, the photographs in Forbidden Planet examine the imposition of extreme architecture on the polar environment of the Arctic North. In this instance, documenting the entrance and nearby surroundings to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which, nicknamed by the press as the 'Doomsday Vault', houses over half a million seed samples as a gene bank of the earth's flora. These images of Svalbard, Norway were taken during October 2011 just hours before the onset of a Polar Night and the advent of six months of darkness.
In Tom Ormond's paintings, architectural forms and spaces are defined by light, such as in Limitless Energy, 2011. Depicting a structure which appears to be activated by light itself, it is set in a landscape at a time that is neither the conquest of a technological future nor the relic of past 'techno' failure. The painting (based on two models made by the artist from his studio debris and broken mirrors) presents a gravity defying housing complex and a Paraboloidal Solar Oven. The inherent artificiality of these model-like structures highlight the void that exists in our understanding of science; as energy is generated from 'nothing' by the invisible rays and light gather in this Solar bowl.
Stewart Gough's sculptures negotiate the redundancy of the plinth as a mode of display, integrating work and plinth as one object unified by the synthetic veneer of a laminate finish. Made from D.I.Y. and home-improvement materials, these democratised tropes of the post-industrial modern era suggest a participatory relationship to other works in the exhibition; as if these sculptures were the very props used in a low budget or early science-fiction movie such as Forbidden Planet, or perhaps recently discovered prototypes made by scientist and engineers working on a secret project.
Chris Hawtin's paintings centre around technological acceleration; the characteristic which defines our times. His paintings, such as Cloak and Veil, 2011, portray amorphous figures born out of the psyche of science fiction. Setting these protagonists against landscapes reminiscent of the Dutch 17th century painter Aelbert Cuyp, they suggest the remains of a time past and aspects of a future in collision. Through the de-territorialisation of these Alien- or Predator-like figures, Chris Hawtin asks the viewer to question our relationship to landscape in this technological era and how the notion of landscape itself has become fictionalised through the proliferation of global media, cinema and virtual environments.

I've noticed a few nurseries and ebay sellers are selling loquat trees that are grown from seed instead of layered, cuttings, or grafted trees. I've read that loquats don't come true to seed, yet these seedlings seem to sell for premium prices.
If they don't come true to seed, why are people selling them as these named cultivars? I recently bought a 'vista white', and it definitely seems like a seedling vs a rooted cutting and am kind of feeling ripped off. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I e-mailed one of the nurseries selling these seedlings as named cultivars, and their reply was that loquats do come true to type from seeds, despite other sources saying they don't. I don't understand why they aren't selling real, grafted or layered material instead. |
Try rollingrivernursery.com for true to type loquat. Seedlings grow very well but are'nt true to type and the fruits revert to huge pits. |
- Posted by greenleaf_organic 9 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 10, 10 at 22:28
I agree, I have noticed the same thing in looking for loquats as well. I would just keep googling and looking until you find a grafted variety. I did, and now have two of them but it took a lot of "digging" (no pun intended!). I look forward to tasting the fruit. One thing I ran across in my loquat research is that in general the white fleshed varieties do well along cooler California costal type areas while the darker orange flesh types do better in the hotter inland or hot gulf coast climate. I am in South Texas so I have planted Big Jim and Early Red. |
- Posted by YC 10(email@example.com) onWed, May 11, 11 at 14:35
I picked a few loquat (growing wild, but of good quality)from a park and planted the seeds. 5 years later the tree produced fruits that were as good as the parents. It's just my experience, but I guess if the tree is self fruitful and if it's not a hybrid, then why should the seed not produce the same plant as the parent? |
