Woodland Choir biography
I founded Woodland Choir back in 1998 with a wish to create fairy music with playful melodies, as well as melancholic songs, and bound them together in a unique style.
I released the first tape called Faerie in the beginning of '99. It contains fairy ambient music created with a single computer. I tried to fill the 80 minutes of this album with love, joy, sadness, happiness, playfulness and peace. It plays in a fairyland, throughout 16 chapters.
In 2000 I released the second tape called Visions. It plays in three different imaginary worlds, they also differ from each other musically, but the main style and the sound is close to the one on Faerie, as I was still using the same computer.
Two years later I decided to record an album using an acoustic guitar, two flutes and my voice. I wanted to compose simple, charming songs with very natural sound, and this wasn't possible with a computer anymore. The lyrics are about love, inner peace, and the beauty of nature. I used both English and my native language, Hungarian. This album is called For you, which I released in 2002 on CD, and offered it as a free download as well. I got very good reviews from all over the world, a lot of people encouraged me to continue.
Even though all the nice feedback, a break in my life caused 7 years of silence in this project. I returned in 2009 with 9 songs in about 42 minutes. I use the same set of instruments as on For You, but the songs are more mature, they show a wider palette of colors, and I also managed to produce a very clear sound. All the lyrics are written in English this time, and the main idea is two halves of a soul rejoining, with a wish for a beatiful life filled with divine serenity. This album is entitled Serenity Rise, and it will be released in 2010 by Epidemie Records.

i like how this soap lathers and the smell is divine. it's got a chocolatey, nutty scent that isn't overwhelmingly sweet. leaves my skin soft and doesn't dry me out. i've enjoyed this soap in my shower a couple weeks now but i've found that the scent isn't as powerful as it was when i first started using it. bummer but will definitely finish it up.
More reviews by 1annasroundhere
This soap has an amazing fragrance, lathers well, moisturizes nicely, but the bar is a bit too big. This I could overlook if the soap didn't bleed and stain my shower. The dark color matches my towels, which is why I got it, but the color bleeds into the shower and I have yet (two months later!) to find something strong enough to scrub it out. Might be nice in the smaller sizes as a guest soap with like-colored dish, but NOT WORTH IT IF YOU HAVE A LIGHT-COLORED SHOWER!!! Still smells great... wish it was a lighter color :(

I have purchased many, many of these over the last few years, The soap is non-drying. The lather texture is downright divine- like silk or cream. This is also the very best smelling soap ever. It is sweet and nutty but not flowery or food-y. My husband and I both use it. Well worth the price.
Smells divine. One bar lasts forever. A little more fussy than using a bottle of shower gel, but a little more luxurious. I'm on my third bar, and I'll probably buy another one.
Wow! $6 for a big, gorgeous bar of luxury! I can't use soap everywhere because it's generally so drying, but this soap is the fattiest, creamiest bar I've ever used. The fragrance is very dark and sweet - brazil nuts and benzoin with the faint tallowy smell of soap itself underneath. The delicious warm smell really lasts on the skin, too. This bar is just exquisite.
I really like the soap, but took off a lippie because it stains other soaps brown. I love the scent it's warm and nutty, not quite like chocolate, but more like rich nuts. It leaves my skin super super soft, I love to use it before bed, as a night-time scent. I think this soap is better than L'Occitane, which I used to love until I discovered this line is better for a lot less. I got it for a mere $3.99 a decent sized bar (not the biggest). Lasts quite some time too.
5.00 @ Merz Apothecary. Oh, and what a great soap this is! Forget L'Occitane and its expensive price points, just revel in the glory of choice that is Pre de Provence. At Merz, they had 15+ different soap fragrances, and this dark chocolate-colored and appearing bar caught my attention. I was hoping it was a chocolate scent, but it turned out to be Brazil Nut. Hmmm. A sniff revealed a rich, dark and creamy vanilla/caramell-y scent. Upon taking it home and using it, the fragrance was more a true tropical nut fragrance. It's like lathering up with a big mess o' brazil nuts! The scent is unique, truly nutty, and lingers on the skin for a good time afterwards. Only critique is that this darkly pigmented bar does produce froth and drips that are brown in color!

Understanding Sound and Vibration Here at Vibrators.com, we test each and every vibrator for vibration and sound levels. Our Vibrator Institute doesn't test vibrators the way you might think; instead, we use scientific equipment that reads vibration and decibel levels. Based on these levels, each vibrator we sell gets a rating. The Power Level ratings are Gentle, Pleasurable, Intense and Unrelenting. The Sound Level ratings are Whisper, Purr, Hum, Buzz and Thundering. The Matryoshka Vibrator has a rating of Unrelenting Purr. This means it vibrates at a very strong level, and is very quiet. If we don't like the look, feel, sound or vibration level of a sex toy, we don't sell it. That's why Vibrators.com only sells about 300 vibrators. There are tens of thousands of vibrators on the market, and that's a lot for a customer to wade through. We offer only the best vibrators, so you can choose the best vibrator for you in the easiest way possible. |

I thought I'd make this a 3-part message, instead of flooding the board with my posts. I'll try to keep 'em short [short by my USUAL standards...so it'll be a novelette instead of "War and Peace" ;-) ]
IT'S A TREE! YESSSSS! After trying for over 2 years to get my Chinese Rain Tree seeds to germinate, I finally followed the seller's advice (got 'em from Diane's Seeds, you've seen me rave about the site before), and now I have a gorgeous little tree in a bonsai pot. As soon as I can afford it, I'm buying more. It's such a pretty thing, like a miniature oak tree on my library shelf (not hardy in my zone, though far from tropical). So I'm doing the BONSAI HAPPY DANCE! *tah dah!* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Honestly, we can ALL have 100% success in all our gardening efforts IF WE CAN JUST GET THE DARN PLANTS TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! *grumble* (Sponsored by the BGA - Bewildered Gardeners Association) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally, Foxy Foxglove. This is one I need help with. I bought a few seeds from Veseys of Foxy, and it's sprouted nicely. Of course digitalis is a biennial, but Foxy blooms its FIRST year (I'll post a link at the bottom....and you see what I mean about the plants refusing to Read The Manual?). So the question is: does Foxy go to seed after that, so you can collect them and have "annual foxglove" every year? Or.....? The germination was close to 100%, they're much hardier than any of my other digitalis (endured a couple of dry-outs with no loss), and they look beautiful (in the pics, of course). I wouldn't mind sticking with this variety: it's often tough to overwinter biennials in a 3a zone. And MAN would I like to be able to offer this plant here. Great for people in zones 1-3. But as to seeds, I is stumped. And (not surprisingly) no one at Veseys will give me a straight answer. Hello, Digitalis experts....and HELP! Cheers,
Here is a link that might be useful: Foxy Foxglove
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Merri, 1. Congratulations on your Chinese Rain Tree. I agree, it's very exciting to grow your own shrub/tree from seed - it definitely takes patience. I've successfully grown from seed 2 Cornus Kousa chinensis shrubs/trees(?). They are about 5 or 6 years old & about 1.5 - 2m tall now. Also, I'm growing an oakleaf hydrangea that I started from seed (I actually got the seed in a trade on GardenWeb many years ago) It's about 5 or 6 yrs old, too, and only .5m tall, so far. I'm growing a coffee tree from seed, too, as a houseplant. Started that quite a few years ago, and it's very slow. 2. Yes, Plants *do* have a mind of their own. 3. Not positive on the foxgloves, but I would think that if it produces flowers; it will produce seeds from those flowers - whether they are in the first or second year. (See # 2) Dee |

Hiya Merri Wow congrats on the tree, sounds cool. My Marantas (I think that's what rabbit tracks are) do great in sunny windows. I have found them prone to root rot if not kept warm and a bit on the dry side. The foxgloves - I think I can help you. They are biennials or short-lived perennials and yes the Foxy ones do bloom the first year. I had trouble for years trying to grow Digitalis X Mertonensis, I got beautiful biennial foliage but no flowers at all. So I tried Foxys and they bloomed wonderfully. I just adore foxgloves and I was so happy that I finally found one that worked. The idea is that you have a patch of them and you plant some new every year, that way there will always be some even as the older ones die off. If they are self-seeding for you this is acheived on its own, but you might want to start some indoors every year or wintersow them. They can self-seed but mine flowered rather late and did not have chance to set seed. So I wouldn't count on it. Hope they work out for you. |
I want to join the BGA to stamp out plant illiteracy. A screaming example. My florist's cyclamen refused to go dormant and bloomed virtually all year. Sure, the leaves got a little floppy over winter, but still... The books all insisted that they go dormant, so I figured a rest would do her good. Not. The bulb rotted away. Fortunately she'd actually set seed shortly before and I had saved them and planted them. Terrific germination, really easy, and I've got several babies in pots. Then I read that germinating cyclamen seeds is tricky. Definitely, that plant couldn't read and neither can its offspring. Then there's the amaryllis. I separated two offshoots before waking them all up and potted them separately. The mother bulb, which usually produces a flower stalk and leaves simultaneously and then another flower stalk (although last year she did both stalks at the same time) this year followed the agenda, although no sign of the second stalk yet. Daughter number one is apparently literate, because she is doing what the books say, and is blooming her little heart out with no leaves in sight. Daughter number two produced leaves and then two or three weeks later said, "Why not?" and has started on her own flowers, well behind the others. Mother and daughter number one a few days ago. They're in their full glory now. |

I always try to grow things "by the book" the first time around. But yeah, I've learned that many plants have a different plan they want to follow. My Boston ferns grow better with the afternoon sun on them then when I try to grow them in the shade. When I put my lily of the valley in shade they get full of spider mites. They do just fine in the sun. I've killed several florists cyclamens by trying to force them into dormancy!! Janetr - the vast majority of hybrid Hippeastryms (amaryllis) will flower before they grow leaves. They may put some leaf growth out at the same time, as your bigger one has, but the real leaf growth is after the flower stalk has died back. A huge amount of what you read about these bulbs is plain wrong! Very nice, by the way! They're one of my favourites - I have a couple of dozen :-) BP |

ABC15 offers first-of-its-kind severe weather app Storm Shield for iPhone, Android
PHOENIX - The ABC15 Forecasters are here to keep you ahead of the storm with a first-of-its kind severe weather app designed to keep you safe and prepare you for extreme weather.
The ABC15 Storm Shield acts like an Emergency Weather Radio on your iPhone or Android. You receive critical alerts via voice and push notification regarding major weather events.
Your phone will "wake up" with alerts wherever you are.
Here are the features:
More Accurate and Precise Weather Alerts - Storm Shield provides more accurate alerts than those offered by typical consumer alerting services. Most of these services will alert you to severe weather if you are in a county only partially covered by a watch or warning, even if you are not directly within the watch/warning. Storm Shield ensures you receive an alert only if your device or saved locations fall inside a watch/warning box.
Follow Me - The app will alert you if you are in an area when a relevant watch or warning is issued, no matter where you are in the United States.
Live Video - Storm Shield streams live video from ABC15 News during severe weather situations to keep you up to date.
Interactive - Storm Shield offers live interactive radar, current temperatures and an extended forecast in addition to severe weather alerts.
Friends and Family - You can save up to five locations in addition to your current position. This will help you make sure your friends and family in other locations are safe as well.
Audio - Storm Shield provides audio alerts in the form of beeps followed by a brief description of the alert type. The audio could wake you in the middle of the night, or give you information you need when you can't stop to look at the phone. Furthermore, you can listen to the alerts and forecasts for your area at any time.
To download the app, search Storm Shield in the App store or in the Google Play store.
There's also another way you can stay on top of incoming storms.
Sign up for newsletter alerts from ABC15.com when severe weather watches and warnings are issued by the National Weather Service. All you do is pick the county or counties you want be notified about and when an alert is issued, you'll get an email in your inbox.

Philodendron Imbe variegated with Philo Warscewiczi

Hey, fancy meeting you here! Beautiful pictures of beautiful plants, as always, Bihai. You going to the convention? Sure do wish I could go. |
- Posted by plant.babies Zone 7-8(gw:plant.babies) onSat, Sep 16, 06 at 13:20
Wow Bihai -- the first picture looks a lot like a cutting I got from a friend. I thought it was Pothos, but now I am wondering it it is actually Warscewiczi! The leaves are very tiny right now - I'm trying to grow it. :) |
- Posted by surfbreeze 9 TX (My Page) on Sun, Oct 1, 06 at 9:22
Bihai - I have that exact variegated Philodendron Imbe (plant on the upper left in your top image) and wasn't sure how to identify it. It is one of my favorites as well. Would you know the exact name? I found thru a Google Search, an image of Philodendron Imbe Variegata, but the photo I found did not really resemble this plant though perhaps it is Variegata? Thanks in advance. |
I wish I could, but I can't! I have three of these. All bought/obtained from different sources. All labeled as Philodendron imbe variegata. All slightly different. All seem to be large growers. The leaves on them have gotten 10-12 inches long. All are vigorous climbers. |
- Posted by surfbreeze 9 TX (My Page) on Sun, Oct 1, 06 at 15:32
I meant to tell you how very lovely your photos are. They are very beautiful!! I have had that one for quite some time, and it has become quite large and I have it growing in several places now. I found this photo of it that I took a few years ago. I will try to update a more recent photo. Thank you so much for the reply! |
Thanks surfbreeze! Your plants are great too! I went out this afternoon after I posted and measured the leaves on mine...I was wrong. Not 10-12 inches. More like 15-16 inches! They are getting really big. |
I got my plant of this probably 20+ years ago and was labelled P. domesticum variegata. Now I see it at Aroid Society booths at botanic garden sales labelled P. ilsemannii. They insist that's correct. I do also see it on the internet as imbe variegata, imbe albo-variegata, etc. I honestly think domesticum varieg is correct. My plants of this in the ground under oaks have leaves over 2 feet long and 12 to 13 inches wide. It's always been one of my favorites, pretty common now among collectors and the general public alike. I don't know how to post a picture here or I would, I'm pretty computer-illiterate. Russ |
Forgot to mention, Bihai. I think the plant in the picture with Philo warscewiczii is not a Dieffenbachia, but is Schismattoglossis calyptrata. Russ |

Florida Keys
The Florida Keys are a region of Florida. The Keys are an archipelago of about 1700 islands extending south and southwest of the Florida mainland.
Listed from furthest north to furthest south:
- Key Largo
- Islamorada
- Duck Key
- Marathon
- Big Pine Key - home of the protected "Key Deer"
- Key West
Other destinations[edit]
Get in[edit]
By car[edit]
U.S. Highway 1 leads from Miami to the Keys via the famous Overseas Highway.
By plane[edit]
The two main airports in the Keys are Key West International Airport (IATA: EYW) and the seaplane base on Marathon Key. These are only used by private or commuter aircraft, mainly coming in from Miami (IATA: MIA), which is the closest international airport. A bit farther is Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (IATA: FLL). Shuttle service from both is available with Key West Shuttle.
By bus[edit]
Greyhound has service to and from the Florida Keys. There are terminals on Marathon, Big Pine Key, and Key West.
By ferry[edit]
Multiple ferry services are available from Fort Myers to Key West. Most of them are large catamarans that will accommodate 20-30 passengers. Sailing time is about 3 hours.
Get around[edit]
The Keys (at least the accessible, commercial islands) are connected by US Highway 1. A useful and interesting "quirk" about the linearity of the Keys (and US-1) is that directions to establishments and attractions are locally described by the "Mile Markers" along US-1. If you ask someone how to get to a certain beach or hotel, they will tell you that it is at "Mile Marker 68.5"; many signs and brochures will say "MM 68.5" (of course, there is no mile marker 68.5, this just means that the hotel is halfway between mile markers 68 and 69). These numbers start at zero at the start of US-1 on Key West, so the numbers get larger as you go north.
The speed limits in the Keys are generally 45 MPH on the built-up Islands, and 55 MPH on the bridges and less built-up islands. There are areas (very built-up strips, or animal sanctuaries) where the speed drops to 35 MPH.
The Keys are not so much a sightseeing destination—people are coming for the beaches. But that's not to say there are no attractions. The several museums are all on Key West: the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, Audubon House & Tropical Gardens, and the Key West Art & History Museum at the Custom House. Islamorada also has a neat artist colony at Rain Barrel, filled with large, unusual statues.
One of the Keys' most popular activities is scuba diving. From Biscayne National Park up to Key West, the dive sites all have nice reefs, tropical waters and a very diverse marine life. Some of the popular dive sites are Spiegel Grove, North Dry Rocks and the USNS Vandenberg.
As you would expect, there is a lot of seafood served in the Keys, but all types of restaurants exist. These include most of the staples of American fast-food, mom-and-pop diners, and many kinds of ethnic fare.
The Florida Keys are the birthplace of Key Lime Pie once made using limes exclusively grown here. Nearly every restaurant will have their own variation of this dessert, and each will be quite different, ranging from super-tart to sickly-sweet.
Another Key specialty is conch (pronounced "konk"), a large mollusk often served in chowder. Conch fritters, small spheres of fried breading and conch, are an appetizer you should try at least once during your stay.
- Key West - famous bar-hopping town, and former haunt of author Ernest Hemingway

Today's edition of Science Affliction is brought to you by the letter N and the number 100 billion. It's been a while since I did a science round up, so I thought I'd get off my duff and put together a list of recent interesting science news with the hope that it will motivate me to write some fiction.
That's all I've got for today. Hopefully something in the list inspires you. Now go write!
Going a bit of a different way with Science Affliction this week. All of the posts will be related to handedness and interesting scientific discoveries regarding the anomaly that left-handers make up such a relatively small portion of the population (about 10%). I'm afraid this post will come out a bit more like a research paper than "cool science news" so you may want to back away slowly and then run like hell.
The idea for the topic of this post came from a video from a few years back from one of my science heroes, James Watson. He did a TEDTalk where he talked mostly about his group's discovery of DNA, but he also talks a bit at the end about what he's interested in now, which is the genetic pre-disposition for diseases and disorders. That part of his talk starts at about 15 minutes, if you want to skip ahead. (I do recommend watching the whole video because Watson is a great example of a non-stereotypical scientist. He's humble and funny, and very approachable.)
So, his point about the link between schizophrenia and left-handedness has support from more recent studies. Like most cutting edge science, there's a lot of disagreement on that point. That got me thinking about the genetics of handedness in general, and why only 10% of the human population is left-handed.
1) Here's an article that talks about the genetics of handedness. Basically, there's one gene with two possible options, one says you're right-handed and the other says you have a 50/50 chance of being either left or right handed. Only approximately 10% of humans are left-handed. This would tend to say that the heritability of left-handedness would be around 25%, which the numbers support.
2) In the interest of fair and balanced reporting: A study in the UK couldn't find a genetic link to handedness.
3) One study went to the world of sports for an answer and determined that the reason for the left and right-handed balance in humans has to do with how much cooperation and competition we require in our society. In sports where competition is favored, the number of left-handers is larger than the population average. Their model accurately predicted percentages in many sports, but does that mean it works as an indicator for the population at large?
4) I've saved the best for last. This article from 2008 is probably the most balanced of the bunch, and proposes that the predisposition for right-handedness may have evolved along with our capability for speech. To me, this makes the most sense. Our brains have obviously adapted for some reason to favor one side of the brain over the other (more so than other animals like chimps that have so much genetic similarity to us) and there has to be an evolutionary reason for it that goes beyond our use of hands.
That's all the left-handed links I have for you today. Hope you learned something interesting! I sure did.
This week's science links are brought you to by the letters Z and Q and the number e.
ichi) An interesting article about Titan's atmosphere and how similar (and different) it is to Earth's. Proof that you don't need to make up exciting new planets, there are plenty of real ones out there.
ni) I linked a while back about the plastic garbage patch we're growing out in the Pacific Ocean. Well now some scientists have discovered we're growing another garbage dump in the deep ocean. Sounds like something out of a horror story to me.
san) Pigeons can use technology too! A study demonstrates that pigeons can pass a simple intelligence test called the "string test" on a touchscreen. Watch the video linked in the article, it's awesome!
shi) In Australia they are having a problem with feral cats are growing huge and eating anything that will fit in their mouths. This brings up interesting ideas about domesticated species and what might happen to them if humans are eliminated from the food chain. WARNING: Article contains pictures of dead cats. If that's the kind of thing that upsets you don't click.
go) To make up for the ugliness of the previous entry, here's a beautiful time lapse video of the aurora over Crater Lake earlier this week.
I hope you enjoyed the quick tour around the world of science this week!
Hearts and puppies,
Edited to add: I had bookmarked this early on in the week and meant to pass it along here, but I forgot, so you get an extra bonus link! Robot bees. Nuff said.
Welcome to the triumphant return of Science Affliction! I know I said last week that I wasn't going to make my story fodder posts just about science anymore, but you know what? Science is freaking awesome. So we're going to stick with that, but if I happen to see some cool artwork or other inspirational stuff I'll add it in too, because I make the rules! Anyway, without further ado we'll get to the science.
eins) A link I should have posted a long time ago. AstroPics has some of the most wonderful HD images of space on the internet. If you can look at Wally Pacholka's amazing works of art and not be inspired, there just might be something wrong with you. Along the same lines NASA shares an Astronomy Picture of the Day that has some unbelievable images. Today's image is the Featured
zwei) An interesting study showing that apes display emotional responses to the outcome of decisions.
drei) I would like to go on record saying that I want to place my order for a mammoth clone grown from the running blood of a deep frozen mammoth now. To be running at -10 mammoths must have had some kind of innate anti-freeze. While I do love to speculate what other forms of life might be out there in the universe, we have some pretty awesome ones right here.
vier) The fourth entry is a neat little story about a guy who wants to make robot drone pets. His ideas for what they could do involve following you around taking pictures, posting your status updates, that sort of thing. Personally, I can imagine some much better items to have my drone do, the dishes for example. I need me a Rosie from the Jetsons.
fünf) I've saved my favorite link of the week for last. Every wanted to be more involved in space exploration? Now you can! A Kickstarter project to fund a public telescope is a wonderfully exciting idea. Depending on your donation level you can get pictures of yourself in space, point the telescope at anything and get your own personal picture of space objects, or sponsor a school telescope time.
That's all for this week. I hope you enjoyed the brief overview of the week in science!
Here's your weekly science stuff!
Number 1 is a bit of depressing news on the global warming front. We may see a complete collapse of the Arctic sea ice shelf within four years.
To cheer you up a bit from that, number 2 is a look at several plants in an MRI. Very awesome!
Number 3 is a story about how we may find a better pain killer in the most unlikely place, a black mamba's mouth. The world really is just awesome.
In number 4, French bees invade a Mars factory, eat some M&Ms and then produce blue honey. No, that's not fiction, I promise.
Number 5 is all about how yo momma was a Neandertal.
Special bonus link, because we're all about the books here: a list of can't wait for science fiction and fantasy coming out in October from io9. The list includes a new suburban fantasy by Jacqueline Carey that I'm really jazzed about and a new Cory Doctorow book about the copyright apocalypse, just to name two.
Look, not an astronomy link in the bunch. *Snoopy dance*

Gordon Ready for Michigan
- Jun 15, 2003
- 24 Team
BROOKLYN, Mich. (June 14, 2003) – While hunting for his fifth NASCAR Winston Cup Series championship, Jeff Gordon knows that consistency can be your best friend, and Michigan International Speedway is perhaps his closest companion.
Gordon has 15 career top-10 finishes at Michigan in 20 starts (75 percent), a number matched only by his performances at Pocono, Pa., and Martinsville, Va., despite one extra start each.
But the reason Michigan gets the nod in this trio of friends is because of Gordon's 13 top-five finishes (65 percent), including two wins and five runner-up finishes.
"I grew a fondness for Michigan since I first started racing here," said Gordon, driver of the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet. "It's very fast and wide, which gives us plenty of room to race without having to rub fenders. It offers three or four different grooves, which lets you find the one that works best for the car—high, middle or low."
Gordon has also finished all but one lap in the June event at Michigan (1,993 of 1,994).
"I think that stat is just a combination of the wide track and great cars," Gordon said. "I've been fortunate to be out front a lot here, too. There is no better sight than an open race track in front of you."
Gordon finished 13th last Sunday at Pocono and is currently third in the Winston Cup championship standings, 233 points behind leader Matt Kenseth.
"I thought we would come out of Pocono with a better finish," Gordon said. "We got behind early with the cut tire and had to fight our way through traffic the rest of the day.
"But, I guess I couldn't ask for a better place to regroup than at Michigan."

'The Giver'
A whole lot of knowledge becomes a very dangerous thing for the young hero of this well-intentioned but dull adaptation of Lois Lowry's classic young-adult novel.
And audiences also run a pretty serious risk of falling asleep before it's all over.
On the up side, it's admirable that "The Giver" doesn't resort to action and violence to keep younger audiences interested, as the similarly themed "Divergent" did earlier this year. This is a movie that takes serious ideas seriously.
On the down side, it also manages, for the most part, to drain those ideas of dramatic suspense.
Maybe that has something to do with the gray, unemotional nature of its dystopian future setting. Sometime after an unspecified disaster known as The Ruin, the remnants of mankind live in a mountaintop civilization that seems utopian at first glance. War, suffering, hunger, envy, violence, teenage pop stars (unless you count Taylor Swift, who makes a brief appearance) have been eliminated. Everyone wears the same clothes, lives in the same modular housing, grows up in assigned families and works at assigned job, presided over by benignly fascistic Elders, who are Never Wrong. Sameness is the law of the land, facilitated by morning injections that nullify emotion and render the population incapable of perceiving color, a gray existence underscored by faux black-and-white cinematography.
Something else is also missing from the mix: memory of mankind's previous existence. No one remembers what life was like before The Ruin, except for the Receiver of Memory (Jeff Bridges), an old man entrusted to advise the Elders about our past mistakes. And Jonah (Brenton Thwaites, the irrelevant Prince Charming in "Maleficent"), a teenager selected to become the new Receiver of Memory, who eventually realizes that along with the not-so-great aspects of mankind's past, the Elders have also erased the good stuff like freedom and love. He decides to do something about it.
That's all very interesting. There's a reason Lowry's novel won a Newbery Medal in 1994 and is generally considered a young-adult classic. It's the same reason Bridges spent 15 years trying to get this movie made before Walden Media ("Chronicles of Narnia," etc.) took an interest. "The Giver" doesn't lack for worthwhile things to say.
But it does suffer, right up to the comparatively thrilling but confusing finale, from an acute shortage of excitement. For the most part, director Phillip Noyce ("Patriot Games") matches the film's pace to its drab décor, which fails to make much of an urgent case that personal freedom really is worth the sacrifice of security, stability and peace.
"When people have the freedom to choose, they choose wrong every single time," says Chief Elder Meryl Streep when the time comes to justify the new status quo. We know we're supposed to hate that idea (especially after late-breaking revelations of some of the Elders' more heinous practices), but by the time she makes that pronouncement you might be inclined to think she has a point.
Sleepwalking through life doesn't seem so bad, after all, when you're already half asleep.

"Yes, Cusco is touristy, but it is also really lovely, and you can get the train to Machu Picchu from here. When you get to Cusco you must rest for an hour or so because of the altitude: it is very high up. You have two options: to stay in town – where there are a lot of restaurants and shopping, which suits me as I'm very urban – or you can go to the Sacred Valley of the Incas, which is exquisite and also more quiet. Here, you can stay in the beautiful Hotel Rio Sagrado (orient-express.com). In the Sacred Valley is the very old village of Pisac, which has a wonderful market and where I recently shot the cover of Vogue Paris."

"From the Paracas National Reserve in southern Peru, 400km south of Lima, you can go to see the famous Nazca Lines. These are hundreds of pre-Incan drawings depicting geometric shapes, birds and animals, believed to have been created between 500BC and 500AD. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. I took Kate [Moss] there when she came over [in 2010] to see my exhibition at the MALI museum in Lima. We stayed in the beautiful Paracas Hotel (starwoodhotels.com), and went to Nazca from there: it is only 30 minutes. You can only see the drawings from the air, so you have to get in a small plane to fly over them – it is just amazing."

Diary of Gwen Wells
1 volume
Manuscript diary of Gwen Wells, a young woman working in London and living in Osterley Park in Hounslow. Contains a loose typewritten insert attached to front cover of the diary recording an account of an excursion into the country at Whitsun, 18 May 1918. Entries are largely recorded in pencil and are made each day until July, when she is on her honeymoon. Entries are irregularly recorded after October when the writer is suffering from influenza.
Gwen appears to be reasonably comfortable in that she dines out most days and has a secure job in 'the office'. Her address is written inside the front cover as 'Berrymede', St Mary's Crescent, Osterley Park. The diary provides an insight into everyday life in London at the close of the First World War. Air-raids and bomb damage are both regularly mentioned. Illness is also a recurring theme and diary entries act as an ominous precursor to the influenza epidemic of 1918-1920, also known as 'Spanish Flu', which spread across most parts of the world.

Broccoli is my favorite vegetable, but not everyone agrees with me. To convert people, I like to serve this simple recipe.

Lexington, KY, Jan 31, 2013 -- USDA Rural Development State Director Tom Fern has announced $950,000 ($712,000 loan/ $238,000 grant) in federal funding to upgrade the Grayson County Water District's administrative facilities.
USDA Rural Development funds will be used to construct a new 4,300 sq. ft. office building to replace the current building constructed in the 1950's. The existing building has become inefficient and inadequate to meet the water district's needs. The new building will be in closer proximity to the workshop, adjacent to other existing facilities, and more suitable for customer and staff needs. The Grayson County Water District serves a rural population of approximately 6,329 in Grayson County. The repayment terms for the loan portion of the funding are forty years at an interest rate of 2.50 percent.
"I commend the Grayson County Water District for their leadership to improve customer access and operational efficiencies," said Fern. "Rural Development is proud to work in partnership with Grayson County officials to make this much needed project a reality."
For information on other projects funded by USDA Rural Development, please visit Rural Development's interactive web map featuring program funding and success stories for fiscal years 2009-2012. The data can be found at: http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/RDSuccessStories.html.
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities.
USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has an active portfolio of more than $181 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. To file a complaint of discrimination, write to: USDA, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Office of Adjudication, 1400 Independence Ave., SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call (866) 632-9992 (Toll-free Customer Service),

Support for Smokers Wanting to Quit
Congratulations! You have made the decision to quit smoking. Whether this is your first or fifth time trying to quit, your effort is worthy of praise. Quitting smoking may not come easily, and sometimes it takes more than your own desire to completely kick the habit. Sometimes it takes support from others—family, friends, coworkers, professionals, and even the Internet. Here is a list of support systems to help you reach your goal of finally quitting smoking.
Counselors (also called coaches) can be excellent resources, providing strategies to quit as well as motivation. Coaches can work with you one-on-one or in group settings with other smokers. If you are taking medications to help you quit, pairing your medications with counseling can increase your chances of quitting. If money is an issue, contact your insurance company. Counseling sessions may be covered under your plan.
During your sessions, you and your coach will have the opportunity to discuss the following:
- What are the triggers that make you want to smoke or smoke again after you have quit? Perhaps you feel the urge to smoke when you are around others smoking. Or maybe certain emotions, like stress, prompt you to smoke.
- How can you control the urge to smoke? You and your coach will develop and practice coping skills you can use when you feel the need to reach for a cigarette.
- When do you want to quit? Setting an official quit date will not only give you something to aim for, but it may also increase your chances of quitting.
Other activities you and your coach will work together on:
Tobacco-proofing your home and car —This involves removing anything from your home and car that may trigger or remind you of smoking, like cigarettes, matches, lighters, and ashtrays.
Getting educated —You will learn basic information about the dangers of smoking and ways to quit.
Building your social support network —Aside from your coach, you will be encouraged to get support and share your concerns with others in your life. Talking with friends, family, and smokers who have successfully quit will keep you motivated, especially during difficult times when the urge to smoke seems overwhelming.

The centuries-long existence of slavery in America has perhaps been the country's greatest contradiction, one for which many questions have yet to be answered. Africans in America, a new four-night PBS series, looks for those answers through its in-depth exploration of U.S. slavery's painful evolution, charting its rise, fall and legacies. Rich with personal narratives and interviews, the program begins tonight at 8 and then airs nightly through October 22; tune in locally to KRMA-TV/Channel 6.

Like Greg Sarris (see "Hail to the Chief" on the previous page), Luis Alberto Urrea--born to a Mexican father and Anglo-American mother--has a multicultural makeup that's flavored by its polar qualities. The acclaimed author of Across the Wire and By the Lake of Sleeping Children, two-thirds of a nonfictional trilogy on life along the United States-Mexico border, Urrea now turns inward for Nobody's Son: Notes From an American Life, a haunting memoir about what it's like to grow up straddling cultures. Urrea reads from the book tonight at 7:30 at the Tattered Cover Book Store, 2955 E. 1st Ave.; call 303-322-7727. He'll also appear tomorrow at 5 p.m. at the Cultural Legacy Bookstore, 3633 W. 32nd Ave.; call 303-964-9049.
You have to wonder how angst-ridden, goofy-grinning, big-haired Lyle Lovett ever made it in Nashville competing against the likes of Garth Brooks and those other hunky country stars. But if it's because of his exemplary songwriting skills and gentlemanly demeanor, well, maybe country-music fans have some taste after all. Step Inside This House, Lovett's new album of hand-picked songs by his favorite Texas tunesmiths, is now in record stores, ready to be heard by fans of every persuasion. The inimitable Lovett is guaranteed to exude class in spades tonight when he performs at 7 at the Buell Theatre, 14th and Curtis in the Plex. Admission ranges from $33 to $44; call 303-830-TIXS.

Jacobs guests tonight at 7 at the International Film Series in Muenzinger Auditorium, where he'll introduce some newer works, including Opening of the 19th Century: 1896, The Georgetown Loop and Disorient Express. Jacobs screenings continue at various campus locations through October 26; call 303-492-1531.

After the first day of the New South Intercollegiate Swim Conference Championship Meet Wednesday, the race for the title looks like it's going to be a scorcher.
In the men's division after the first six events, Delta State is in first with 146 points but Missouri S&T is in a close second just two points behind with 144 points. Henderson State (110 points) and Ouachita Baptist (98) are also within striking distance, while Drury (55 points) and Bellarmine (30) have plenty of time to make up ground.
In the women's division, Delta State is in first place at 178 points, followed by Ouachita Baptist (120), Henderson State (111), Drury (31) and Bellarmine (30).
One aspect of the meet both DSU teams have shined in is the relay races. The Statesmen have racked up 70 points of their points in the relays, while the women have scored 74 of their points in the relays.
"I was real impressed with our performances from our distance events all the way to our relays on the guys and girls side," Delta State head swim coach Dan'l Murray said. "Both teams were ready to get up and race, and this sets us up for a really good weekend."
In the women's division, DSU's relay team of Shawnee Gundry, Laura Nichols, Danielle Dugas and Hannah Core won the 200-yard medley relay race with a time of 1:45.60, edging out Henderson State's team of Chelsea Leary, Melissa Ralston, Hannah Weise and Lauren Sutton (1:45.73) by .13 seconds.
In the 800-yard freestyle relay, DSU's team of Maria Torres, Dani Meerholz, Kelcie Winterrowd and Elizabeth Frye took second with a time 7:43.43. The second place finish gave the Lady Statesmen 34 more points.
Meerholz gave the Lady Statesmen a win individual competition by finishing first the 1,000-yard individual freestyle with a time of 10:22.17.
In the men's division, DSU's relay team of Yvan Nys, Christian Barrett, Karl-Richard Hennebach and Bear Iles won the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:30.74.
In the 800-yard freestyle relay, Hennebach and Nys, along with Ben Vaughan and Jared Meredith finished fourth with a time of 6:51.12. The fourth place finish gave the Statesmen 30 more points.
The big reason anybody can still win the race is the fact that relays are double points. If a school has a team win a relay race, it's 40 points. If a school has a swimmer win an individual race, it's 20 points.
Murray said the team needs to stay focused and been fundamentally sound through out the rest of the meet, which will end on Saturday.
"We need to minimize any mistakes," Murray said. "Relays are going to be double points, so we need to be smart and conservative on our exchanges. If we stick to our race strategies everything will fall into place."
DSU began the second day of action this morning and will be back in action tonight at 6 p.m. Action on Friday and Saturday will begin at 10 a.m. with the evening time set for 6 p.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Morning all. Apologies for the shortage of news updates yesterday, which was occasioned by the regrettable fact of my needing a holiday, but hopefully, the following should make up for it. 4J Studios has announced that Minecraft Xbox 360 update 1.8.2 will be with us in a matter of hours - 10am GMT or 2am PDT.
According to 4J "it can take a few hours to be available everywhere", so don't go burning your house down if the clock hits one minute past and you're still un-updated.
"Get EVERYONE you know playing 1.8.2 this week!" the studio ordered fans. "Let's see if we can knock Modern Warfare 3 off the top spot in the LIVE activity chart!" Here's the launch trailer.
Here's the full Minecraft Xbox 360 update 1.8.2 changelog plus an ultimate guide to all the features. Here are some Minecraft Xbox 360 post-update Survival Mode tips, and pointers as to whether you'll need to start a new world to enjoy the new terrain types and structures.
See you in Creative Mode, my fellow godlings. What are you planning to construct or do first?

I want to put a storage loft in an area with a 12 foot span.
The studs are 2x4 and exposed. The intuitive thing would be to simply lag 2x6 to each of the 2x4 wall studs that are 16 on center, and cover the thing with plywood. Using the calculator here http://www.awc.org/calculators/span/calc/timbercalcstyle.asp It shows that I can do 2x8 at 16" oc for a span of 12' 7". This raises a few questions for me, if someone will indulge: 1. Would it be best to put up one 2x8 at 64 inches out and then use joist hangers on 2x4 or 2x6 lumber for the shorter span (64") or simply put up 2x8 for the full span? 2. Will it be sufficient to lagbolt the 2x8 to the 2x4 wall studs or will I need to add an additional jackstud under each of the 2x8 as well? 3. Would it be better to do this like an outside deck, in that I would put a 2x8 against the wall studs on both sides and span the loft area using joist hangers? Is there another (better/easier) way I have not thought of yet? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Nail a 2x8 ledger to the studs on both ends and 1x8 joists between. Joist hangers or a 2x10 ledger with a 2x2 support underneath. Lags are overkill use 16p spikes |
You need to look at joist span tables based on the load you expect to place on the loft. |
- Posted by Renovator8 (My Page) on Fri, May 27, 11 at 20:26
Here is a better calculator because it starts with the span and gives you the member size. You shouldn't need 2x8's unless the live load is greater than 20 PSF. What are you putting up there? |
Here is a link that might be useful: better calculator
- Posted by BradleySmall (My Page) on Fri, May 27, 11 at 22:32
Nice calculator, but it still says I need 2x8 for 12' span. I am not sure what specific things will go up there. Perhaps wood, perhaps old hand tools, scrap metal, old motors, locks, books, packiaging materials, paper records. Who knows. At this point I need merely to not waste space. I have precious little enough, and having such an area not utilized would feel foolish. |

Just replaced an old pump motor that failed. The case of the old motor had a place to anchor a ground wire running from the panel. New motor does not have a place to anchor that ground. Is it necessary? Can I just fasten it to any bolt on the pump?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You need a star type lick washer (internal or external, with internal a little better) to make sure a solid bond is formed that cuts trough paint and any contamination on the surface. |
Thanks for his reply. Let me add some clarification, as I'm afraid my initial post was unclear. The old motor had a ground wire running from the case of the motor to a universal grounding bar on the panel (where other components were grounded as well). The new motor has no grounding connection at all. Does that mean none is required? I am not talking about the grounding of the entire spa - that is still intact. I'm talking specifically about the grounding of the small motor that runs the circulation pump. Hope that's clear! And again, thanks in advance. |
"Does that mean none is required?" No. |

This isn't the ground, it's the equipotential bonding required of all components and exposed metal of the spa. If something doesn't have a bonding terminal, you must install one. |
"This isn't the ground, it's the equipotential bonding required of all components and exposed metal of the spa. " It follows the same rules for how the bond connection is to be made. |

I wasn't arguing with you brick. It is NOT a ground. The requirement for it is different than for grounding (but the terminal is the same as you say). All the things required to be bonded need to be bonded with #8 solid. |
