Keep up the show Kathy..........Step back and look at the big picture. If you need the federal government to guarantee a loan, then maybe it's too risky. I can't imagine a financial institution not offering prime rates for a sound green energy project when the environment is such a concern and energy is in such high demand. Do your job. I guess now we know why Danny had to be a dictator, that team of 'DUNDERHEADS' can't survive without a leader. They don't need a figurehead.

Is the little dictator now dancing and stomping his feet because the new Premier is not clicking her heels to his commands? So he is taking his sucker and going home and not attending his farewell party, just for him, because your Premier talked to Stephen Harper? Tell me this isn't so??? I half knew Danny was a dictator, do it my way or I will cry and yell... so most of you followed, now he is expecting everything to be as he wanted it, and will get ya if ya try to change it. He must be a Liberal. He has to be a Liberal. Only Liberals act like this. Nasty

every day the people of this province get another example at how the conservatives, both feds and provs. will stop at nothing to enhance their political agendas. their shameful opportunism knows no boundaries. Formally invisible candidates have been coming out of hiding (or the senate) to run for the not so long ago vilified tories, their provincial counterparts are climbing all over each other to endorse their runs and to cry that all is well, let bygones lie and lets gain power. How dumb do they think we are?. Tomorrow we will lay out the red carpet for a federal leader who would have been tarred and feathered 2 years ago by these same cronies lining up today to get their heads up his rear end, and to accept his election bribe of a loan guarantee.. it would be laughable if it wasn't so shameful.. what can one say but let the blind lead the blind...

Maybe what we need is a different approach. you ever hear the phrase "you get more with honey than with vinegar"? I didnt see the opposition MP's do much in the past two years. Siobhan used to bring in a few MP's to have a lunch or Gerry Byrne calls openline everytime a Marine Atlantic ferry is late!! Maybe Mr Byrne should have done something while he was a cabinet minister!! Oh yeah but the PM didnt have enough confidence in him to keep Gerry there for any amount of time. So easy to always be negative!! I prefer to see the cup as half full instead of half empty!!

SERIOUSLY! Harper's government was found in contempt! The first government to ever have been charged with that offense! Plus let's not forget there was a reason Danny brought about the ABC campaign....and some are actually even considering....CONSIDERING VOTING FOR STEVEN HARPER?!!! How about we vote in the four year old with the crayon too far up his nose and all the hells angels into elected seats while were at it? I will vote for a grouse walking into 8am traffic on the outer ring road to become the next Prime Minister before I vote for Harper!

Perhaps it's appropriate with this coming election to think back before Confederation. As the old "Anti-Confederation Song" would have it: Ye brave Newfoundlanders who plough the salt sea, With hearts like the Eagle so bold and so free, The time is at hand when we'll have to say If Confederation will carry the day. Men, hurrah for our own native Isle, Newfoundland, Not a stranger shall hold one inch of her strand; Her face turns to Britain, her Back to the Gulf, Come near at your peril, Canadian Wolf! Cheap tea and molasses they say they will give, All taxes taken off that the poor man may live - Cheap nails and cheap lumber, our coffins to make, And homespun to mend our old clothes when they break. If they take off all taxes, how then will they meet The heavy expenses on Army and fleet? Just give them the chance to get into the scrap, They'll show you the trick with pen, ink and red tape. Would you barter the right that your fathers have won? No! let them descend from father to son. For a few thousand dollars Canadian gold Don't let it be said that our birthright was sold. This time, it's Mr. Harper in the role as the Canadian wolf. Hasn't Mr. Harper already showed us the trick with pen, ink and red tape. Fool us once, shame on you; fool us twice, shame on us. Danny Williams had it right with the ABC campaign, and probably even with taking down the Maple Leaf flag- even if that was more histrionics than anything?

More important than a loan guarantee is whether this project is good for NL. The project requires FULL DISCLOSURE with respect to the terms and conditions, and the project's economics and viability. Let the people be FULLY INFORMED "before" decisions are taken, and let the issues be fully aired before the next election. If this is a good deal, THEN SHOW THE PEOPLE HOW THIS IS SO. Let's not allow ourselves to be side-tracked or hood-winked by rhetoric or political expediency.

She has a better chance of meeting the Easter bunny than she does getting anything out of Harper. It is election time and anything he says holds no water because as soon as he gets what he wants he can turn his back on us and we will have lost. Come on Dunderdale grow a spine and show us that the first woman to be Premier in NL, is worthy of the job.
- McLovin
- March 30, 2011 - 12:24
Ms Dunderdale obviously never learned a thing from Danny. She has all the power here. Why is she only talking about Harper? Why isn't she demanding the support of this project from the leaders of ALL the parties? She should also demand that any promise be delivered in writing!! I also think that a Harper Majority would be better for NL than a Harper Minorty. The latter would likely result in the Liberals, NDP and Bloc forming a coalition to form the government and I doubt this would be very good for our province.
- Red
- March 30, 2011 - 13:47
Really a Harper majority would be good for us? He snubbed us bad enough before with a minority government with no help from the opposition, what makes you think he'd give in to our demands if we put him in power? If we give him everything he wants, why would he then feel it necessary to give us anything? He'll have his majority and can say no to us on any issue and won't have to worry about backlash for 4 years, and by then he'll have retired. I wish you would think things through before speaking your mind. HARPER HAS A SEVERE DISLIKE FOR ATLANTIC CANADA. Is that loud enough for ya?
- McLovin
- March 30, 2011 - 20:54
I wish you would read things carefully before you posted stupid comments. I NEVER SAID THAT A HARPUR MAJORITY WOULD BE GOOD FOR NL. I SAID IT WOULD BE BETTER THAN A COALITION GOVERNMENT FORMED BY THE LIBS, BLOC AND NDP. SHOULD HARPUR WIN ANOTHER MINORITY. IS THAT LOUD ENOUGH FOR YA? What do you think NL would get in a colaition government when the LIbs, Bloc and NDP all with their own members in Cabinet and serving their own districts? How many cabinet misnisters would be from NL as compared to say Quebec, Ontario, or BC? We'd get even less than we would from a Harpur Majority Government. Idiot

- March 31, 2011 - 07:33
I wish you would read things carefully before you come on here and put ridiculous words in my mouth. If you re-read my original post, no where does it say that a Harper Majority would be good for NL. WHAT IT DID SAY WAS THAT A HARPER MAJORITY WOULD BE BETTER FOR NL THAN A COALITION GOVERNMENT OF THE LIBERALS, BLOC AND NDP, which would likely form if Harper is elected to another minortiy.Neither of these scenarios would be a good thing for NL but in my opinion the Harper Majoirty would be the better scanrio for this province. IS THAT LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU?

"a number of conditions and parameters necessary to garner federal support" does that include the unwritten one of delivering federal seats. Heaven help Canada if Harper gets his majority off the backs of NL'ers. Mr. Harper's ink is a far greater risk than the chance that NL would ever default on a loan. And saying that the guarantee is to obtain a better interest rate ... Ms. Dunderdale why not just go all the way on achieving your distance from Mr. Williams and tell us that Muskrat Falls is too marginal (at this time) to burden our children and grand kids with. Our province has come a long way since 1949 and thanks to the hard work of many, have not is now no more. And no more includes Harper and having to kneel before Ottawa. Where's the mad tare for Muskrat anyway? With all that is going on in the world today we should stay the course and in a few years those seeking safe energy will come to us, cash in hand.

It is easy to make a promise when one is desperatly trying to elect a majority government like PM Harper is now doing. I am getting rather old riight now and my expiry date is not to far away but you can take it straight from my heart that Harper does not give a s--- about NL.and will promise whatever is necessary to get seats in this province. He put the gears to us before through the use of untruths and why should he change in a matter of a few years? He will promise Ms.Dunderdale whatever it takes to get her governments support for him but once it is wheels up on his return to his next pitstop NL will quickly be forgotten and will remain so if he is elected PM. I have no faith in the man or his promises as we have bent over before to get him elected years ago and the sharp pain we felt was far from administering any help to this Province. I will not be fooled again. If the present Premier has any smarts at all she would steer well clear of any Federal Party leader except to say to each of them one time "WE ARE NEWFOUNDLANDERS HERE FIRST AND FOREMOST AND WE EXPECT TO BE DONE RIGHT BY WHICHEVER PARTY WINS THE FEDERAL ELECTION.IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE FAIR TREATMENT THEN JUST WATCH US" Then she should go on with good government for our people assuming that as usual NL is in line for nothing from OTTAWA. If she figures any differently she ought to go learn fluent french with the rest of her government members. Does anyone who has lived here for 65 years or more really believe that OTTAWA gives a rat's ass about NL. I only wish former premier Williams would start pounding the airways with the truth as he experienced it.

If this is how Harper intends to win seats in NL, and how Dunderdale intends to keep a majority government this fall, it won't be with my support. Cuts to ACOA, Marine Atlantic, DFO.....the list goes on. Accept cuts in support of what seems like the deal people want.......please.....those days are gone.

Well now, hasn't Nfld been down this road before with the Federal Conservatives? One this is for sure, Labradorians have had many many promises regarding the so called 'Lower Churchill' development - all of them have been broken - beginning with the Provincial Conservatives in the year 2003. All broken and why and how on Earth could a Labradorian believe any of them now (especially) when so much has proven to be false in the past?

Well well well! Let me guess. An iffy looking letter with cloudy Ottawaese lingo with endless promises of this and that will be presented to Dunderdale.. Then there will be the follow up yippee moment for the camera and then in 3 months time tears and red faces when the PCs see that Flaherty has zero intention of opening up the checkbook for NL.
- March 30, 2011 - 09:31
If Harper actually promises to provide a $6 t0 $10 Billion loan guarantee which commits the taxpayers of all of Canada for this mega money loser project he deserves to be booted from office. If Harper actually goes through with this ill advised plan he will lose all of his political support in Quebec. What Federal politician in his right mind would risk losing all of the seats in Quebec in an attempt to win 7 seats in Newfoundland and Labrador? Either Harper has no intention of honoring any loan guarantee promise or he knows he going to lose the election!

A few weeks ago while he was still in Government Harper could have made an annoucement which carried some weight. And it could have been followed up in the recent Federal Budget. That would have upset Quebec and its 75 potential seats. Now all he can do is make an election promise for down the road and take maybe a little less risk of offending Quebec. In return for a promise the new Premier has sold the shop in terms of having all of her MHA's out on the campaign trail to support a Prime Minister who was found in contempt of Parliament. Does this mean that Premier Dunderdale supports the secrecy and arrogance and contempt with which Harper has treated the Federal Parliament? Does it mean that she supports actions such as the manipulation of Senate appointments such as Mannings? There has always been a distinction between the provincial Progressive Conservatives and the federal Conservative Party of Canada. That explains why so many people in NL are cormfortable voting PC in NL and not voting Conservative at the national level. Stephen Harper has shown that he is a man whom we cannot trust, so the Premier's attempt to allign herself and her party with the federal party will only lead to a demise of the PC party in the October election.

Can't help but chuckle at this story. We can always hope, but we all know about Harper and his promises. Hell he wouldn't even honor a signed contract.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tom Thumb!
Facts about Tom Thumb
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Long
Tom Thumb's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Tom Thumb, a male long-haired brown tabby kitten. A survivor, Tom Thumb and his sister, Thumbelina, were found shivering under the car of a Billerica resident, and rescued. They were just 4 weeks old. With prompt medical attention to eliminate their internal and external parasites and plenty of TLC in foster care, these two wee babes are now plump and sassy, with beautiful soft and luxurious coats. Tom Thumb sports a handsome tabby coat, with a white nose and chin, and white socks. He is a friendly and curious, and will grow to be a striking-looking cat, much like a Maine Coon. He gets along quite well with the dog, kids, older kittens and the resident cats in his foster home.
Born approximately Sept. 6, 2012, Tom has tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and will be ready for his forever home after his first shots at 8 weeks of age. He would be happiest to be adopted with his loving sister, but wouldn't say no to a home with one of his older foster "sibs", Nigel or Mia.
Please note: All cats and kittens require an on-line adoption application be completed and sent BEFORE consideration for adoption can take place. On-line applications at www.billericacatcarecoalition.org
Other Pets at Billerica Cat Care Coalition
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tom Thumb, a N. Billerica Domestic Longhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in N. Billerica, or seeking a Domestic Longhair kitten from a breeder in N. Billerica.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in N. Billerica 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 N. Billerica 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 Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in N. Billerica paves the way for another one to be saved.

Green Day's "21 Guns": Dookie
Green Day is from the Bay Area. So it shouldn't be a total surprise that the first 20 seconds of their new single sounds like an alt-rockish rip-off of "I Left my Heart in San Francisco." If only the rest of the song aped Tony Bennett, instead of Fall-Out Boy.
What really irks me, though, is the narrative arc of the video. We see drummer Tre Cool brooding, because what else does one do behind a drum set? After that we encounter a girl and a boy in some sort of domestic dispute. Bullets fly through the room (presumably from, uh, 21 guns) while Green Day plays an exclusive apartment show for their benefit. The bickering lovebirds throw a rotary telephone into a fish tank and blow up what looks like a glass bong for good measure. Then, in a moment so positively undeserved, they kiss. Surprised?
It's 2009. Why can't Green Day do a 15th-anniversary tour and play Dookie in its entirety?

My wife and I started some summer squash seeds using peat pellets. Now the original intention was to grow these in 5 gallon buckets, however this has been a subject of debate. Our questions:
1. I put 2 seeds per pellet, and she says we have to remove one of the sprouts per pellet. I say these two are fine and can be planted as one plant. 2. I say 5 gallon buckets are fine, one plant per bucket and there will be plenty of room for the roots, and the plant will just vine down over the side. She claims this won't work. We'll have to use a trellis or something. Or grow it in the ground. Growing it in the ground is not an option. We have a fat clay with very little topsoil. That attempt failed last year. Thanks for the help. |

5 gallon containers are not gonna be ideal for the squash plants. 18 gallon totes with good drainage will be much better. EG |
- Posted by jojosplants Az. Z9 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 29, 10 at 10:48
Hi Pioletman, Your wife is right about needing to remove one. When the plants get big they will be fighting for food, water and light. Cut the extra one off so you dont tear up the roots on the other. You will also need to carefully cut away as much of the peat pellet webbing. It will stay like it is and be hard on the roots. I've grown plenty of squash in a 5 gallon with no problems. JoJo |
- Posted by bumble_doodle Z5a CT (My Page) on Mon, Mar 29, 10 at 11:22
I've done it both ways - 1 zucchini plant per 5 gallon bucket is now my standard. I hang my buckets from iron plant hangers which are then secured to a fence for added support. The buckets end up about 4-5 feet off the ground and it allows for easy harvesting. My original intention (growing vertically) was to thwart a wiley woodchuck. Now, I just prefer having the additional additional real estate in the garden. |

Five years after Beslan tragedy, questions linger
(Read article summary)Half of all Russians surveyed say they don't know the whole truth about how more than 300 people, mostly children, were killed when the military raided the school where they were held hostage.
MOSCOW – It was a parent's worst nightmare.
On the first day of school, Sept. 1, 2004, terrorists seized Beslan's School No. 1, herding more than 1,000 children and teachers into a gymnasium at gunpoint, where they held them without food or water for three tense days as townspeople and Russian special forces looked on from the nearby street.
On the third day, the nightmare turned to sheer horror. Russian troops assaulted the crowded school amid a wave of explosions and a storm of gunfire. Hundreds were pulled to safety but when the shooting stopped, many hours later, more than 330 people – mostly children – were dead.
For many of the bereaved parents of Beslan and other Russians, the questions about what happened on that terrible day have never been satisfactorily answered. No official, at any level, was fired over the catalogue of blunders that led to the deadly firestorm that killed hundreds of children. The Kremlin, backed by an obedient State Duma, blocked a full investigation.
But unofficial studies have contradicted the official line by suggesting that the Army may have opened hostilities – and not the terrorists – and that the military subsequently used heavy weaponry, including tank shells, inside the hostage-filled gymnasium.
"From that day to the present, people here blame the authorities," says Khasan Dzutsev, director of the Center of Social Surveys in Vladikavkaz, capital of North Ossetia, where Beslan is located. "The [security forces] did not even do the most elementary things to save people."

In another lifetime, I did PR for Big Pharma and flacked for some of the biggest names in academic medicine and patient advocacy. That's what landed me in healthcare journalism nearly 20 years ago. Today, I'm also an emergency department RN, weathering the impact of developments in the healthcare marketplace—in the real world, in real time, with real people. The good people at CJR.org have now decided to add my voice to the Second Opinion roster. My charge—to monitor media coverage of public health, quality of care, and determinants of health. This first post touches on all three.
Hats off to NPR's "Tell Me More" host Michel Martin for avoiding the sensationalism often associated with mental illness on a Jan. 23 broadcast, which offered reasonable experts having a reasonable discussion on the relationship between mental healthcare and gun violence. Despite its news hook—which ties into to both horrific mass shootings and the ensuing heated political debates over gun control—Martin's program adds to a decades-long trend toward more intelligent, less stigmatizing coverage of mental illness.
Hats off, too, to Huffington Post's Jeffrey Young for a fact-packed Jan. 31 article that covered similar terrain, and to The New York Times's Erica Goode and Jack Healy for their well-balanced piece today on the implications of proposed changes in mental health policy. Goode, it's worth noting, is one of a handful of veteran healthcare journalists who have been covering this story in some form for more than 20 years. During that time, she and her colleagues have relied on a group of experts and advocates who have dedicated their lives to changing the way we think and talk about mental illness. Young, in his article, and Martin, in her program, did the same.
Martin, Michael Fitzpatrick of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and Dr. Carl Bell of the University of Illinois School of Public Health launched their discussion with an excerpt of President Obama's recent remarks on gun violence legislation, punctuated by a well-documented conclusion: People with mental illness are more likely to be victims of crimes than perpetrators. By using that clip, Martin made it easier for listeners to keep open minds about what they were about to hear, and establish a picture of people with mental illness that extends beyond James Holmes, the Aurora shooter. [Full disclosure: I worked for NAMI in the early 1990s.]
HuffPost's Young included similar statistics—and added that "people with mental illnesses are responsible for no more than 5 percent of all violent acts in the United States." Nevertheless, the public health impact of mental illness and gun violence can't be ignored when some killers' histories reveal varying levels of unsuccessful interfaces with the mental health system, as Goode and Healey also acknowledged.
That is a responsible way to tackle the violence issue—and it leads to the conclusion that, as the headline of Young's piece declares, "Mental health solutions alone can't thwart gun violence."
It's also a responsible way to talk about mental illness more broadly. One of the welcome developments that sets today's media coverage of mental illness apart from previous work is its apparent disdain for the mythology and misinformation promulgated by the Citizens Commission for Human Rights, an anti-psychiatry group backed by the Church of Scientologists. CCHR has spent years and massive amounts of cash trying to discredit a wealth of published scientific research demonstrating that mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression are diseases of the brain, not the mind, and deserve to be treated the same way as other medical conditions.
Martin's NPR segment in particular was notable for reflecting a public education effort that, although inhibited by the historic stigmatization of people with these illnesses, has been vital in securing access to and insurance coverage for quality mental healthcare. That is the main thrust of advocates' fight for a more cohesive community mental health system and to sharpen the teeth of a federal mental health parity law enacted in 1997 and updated in 2008 that enables people with brain diseases to have the same access to care as those with diabetes, heart failure, asthma, or any other chronic illness.

Daft Punk: The Birth of The Robots
Daft Punk became robots on 9th September, 1999.
The date – 9-9-99 – is significant, according to Thomas Bangalter, because this was the day the little-known "9999 bug" corrupted the French duo's hardware. "We were doing a track and our sampler crashed and exploded and there were sparks," he explained. "We were hurt a little bit so we had to make a little surgery and then we became robots."
A precursor to the Millennium bug, this 9999 virus conveniently deleted the track they were working on, forcing the pair to start again from scratch as robots. "Everything was erased, we had to start all over again," Bangalter said. "We don't keep a record of the time when we make music."
Bangalter told me this on the evening of November 24, 2000. We were up in the Hollywood Hills, in the living room of an attractive, open-plan, possibly mid-century residence overlooking Los Angeles. From the terrace you could look down on the house and gardens of a famous actress whose name escapes me. A swimming pool adjoined the terrace, shaded by an avocado tree.
Daft Punk were renting the property while they developed the promotional campaign for their second album, Discovery, for which they'd decided to present themselves as robots. They'd brought their close-knit Daft crew with them from Paris – including Cedric Hervet, manager Pedro "Busy P" Winter and Gildas Loaec, who now runs Kitsuné – and their stuff was all over the house. Philippe Zdar of Cassius was also in town and would pop in from time to time on his morning jog. I think the property had been found for them by the mother of Miki Berenji, the singer of the 90s indie band Lush. At the time, her mum, Yasuko Nagazumi, was a kind of producer and agent in Hollywood, a fixer who made things happen. As an actress she'd had a brief role in You Only Live Twice.
I'd been fortunate enough to be sent to LA by The Face Magazine to write the first piece on Discovery and Daft Punk's comeback. Their 1997 debut Homework had profoundly influenced pop music, and the world was eagerly awaiting its successor. In those days, before the internet's mindless voracity, bands could hide away with ease. The robots would be unveiled in a Face cover story several pages long, photographed doing typical human things such as drinking cocktails, visiting a guitar shop and hanging out at a swingers' party. Luis Sanchis was the photographer. In one recording studio he shot the robots seated at a piano, and this photo graced the inner sleeve of Discovery. The strap-line on the The Face's cover was the very good "Encore Une Fois" – Daft Punk had just scored their first No.1 with 'One More Time'.
Virgin Records flew the press officer and me on Virgin Atlantic. I was installed in the Chateau Marmont hotel for four or five days, but not in the main building, in one of the self-contained bungalows by the pool. I couldn't believe my luck. Someone said that John Belushi had died in one of these bungalows. Sofia Coppola would later film parts of Somewhere in one. Me? I spent some of my time in the bungalow writing an NME feature on German trance heavyweights Jam and Spoon, whom I'd met in Frankfurt the week before. After we'd visited three restaurants in Frankfurt, Mark Spoon, rest his soul, had shown us round his modernist apartment. He had leopard-print silk sheets on his bed and a pair of handcuffs attached to the bedposts. I remember emailing the feature using the computer in the Marmont's manager's office. This was before wifi or in-room internet. I even had a PC laptop back then. Madness.
One of the main reasons Daft Punk had stationed themselves in California was because the robots' prototype helmets and gauntlets were being made in LA by Tony Gardner. He's a special effects designer who'd most recently worked on the Jack Black fatty fable Shallow Hal, and who would go on to assist Daft Punk with their 2006 film, Daft Punk's Electroma, and a couple of Human After All promos. In any case, Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo enjoyed being in the LA sunshine – and the robots appreciated the climate too. "It's better for our circuitry," Bangalter said. "Nice oil and good maintenance." In rainy Paris the robots get rusty.
The idea for the feature was that Sanchis would stage a photo with the robots that would represent each of Discovery's fourteen tracks. For 'Aerodynamic' they'd be in a guitar shop, for example, and for 'Short Circuit' they'd be collapsed, drunk, in an alleyway. I'm not sure if we managed to do all fourteen as each one took a lot of time to organise. Like expensive jewellery, these helmets were precious items, and tricky to put on correctly. We'd travel from location to location in one of those colossal mobile homes. There was a plan to release all fourteen tracks as individual singles, one after the other following the album's sequence. They managed five or six.
I was given a CD copy of Discovery in LA and listened to it whenever I could to prepare for the interview, which actually turned out to be more like a collaboration between Daft Punk and The Face – the first part of Discovery's perfectly executed media campaign. Then, as now, Daft Punk liked to control as much as they possibly could. After the blistering house and funk of Homework, the warmth and scope of Discovery sounded like the work of a different act, in much the same way that Random Access Memories, arriving after the rather one-dimensional Human After All and Tron: Legacy, has impressed with the scale of its ambition. I still love Discovery, particularly the Moroder-ish trio of 'Voyager', 'Veridis Quo' and 'Short Circuit'.
The interview covered a lot of ground, most of it dealing with the robots and the music and concept of Discovery. As usual, Bangalter did the lion's share of the talking, even providing a track-by-track explanation of the album from the robots' point of view. The intention was for the article to add to the mystique of Daft Punk and generate excitement about their return by telling a story that was mostly make-believe. We'd last seen Daft Punk, if you can recall the late 90s, somewhere in LA in the videos for 'Burnin' and 'Around the World', and in the two years between then and Discovery they'd somehow become robots. As you can read in this transcript of the interview, Bangalter, then 25, explains himself and Daft Punk's ideas far more eloquently than I was able to in the magazine. Fantasy has always been the essence of Daft Punk, and Discovery was the album that revealed the true power of their imagination.

Thank you to The FACE Magazine; gone, but not forgotten.

Jay Cross helps people work and live smarter. Jay is the Johnny Appleseed of informal learning. He wrote the book on it. He was the first person to use the term eLearning on the web. He has challenged conventional wisdom about how adults learn since designing the first business degree program offered by the University of Phoenix.
Early this morning I was reflecting on how different today's world is from the world I grew up in.
You see, I was born during World War II. Complexity had not been discovered. Computers had not been invented. Frederick Taylor was revered. It was a tidier world. Everything was logical. A simpler time.
Thirty years ago things began to get fuzzy. We realized that everything in the universe is connected to everything else. The future's unpredictable. Networks rule. Shit happens.
We live in the midst of a phase change in how we humans understand the world. The dying embers of the Industrial Age are growing cold. The Network Era is very much alive. Connections matter; individuals are powerless without them. People aren't tools; they're what creates value. Control is illusory. Complexity rules.
Businesses that think it's cautious go retreat back to basics discover that yesterday's rules of thumb don't work in today's game.
This marvelous presentation by Niels Pflaeging explains what's going on.

Ponytail. Or not.
Conflicted at the moment. The four years I've spent in coffee has helped produce a different guy. One of those old-hippie-ish balding dudes with a grey-brown six-inch ponytail. Quite a difference from the shaved head look I was sporting at even my most recent speaking gigs.
So, without the promise of a job, but with interviews lined up, should I just lop it all off or take my chances?
07:01 PM | Permalink
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope all is going well. Please send some work :-)
Yes, I did cut it off. Didn't get the job anyway. Let it grow back out, but no longer enough there for a decent ponytail. Kinda looking more like Professor Irwin Corey now!
Posted by: Rich | Dec 19, 2010 11:37:29 AM
So...did you cut your ponytail off???
Posted by: Carl Pugh | Dec 19, 2010 9:42:33 AM
Typically in sales the longer your hair the less sales you will make. If you want to try and prove that idiom wrong go for it. If you want to do everything you can to get the job, lop it off.
Posted by: Trade Show Infotainer | Feb 20, 2010 11:55:32 AM
who told you not to make ponytail..its your own thinking which depending only on you...
Posted by: KADALYNN | Apr 19, 2009 4:15:58 PM
No you should be just like as you are at present..keep your personality well maintained,it will help in your work.
Posted by: rachael | Apr 17, 2009 12:22:10 PM
Thanks for the thoughts. It's working on the supplier side of things, so looks like the scissors.
As far as the blog, even during the halcyon days of this thing and the online ad market, the most aggressive forecast I could come up with was around $3K, which wasn't even worth the time and energy to put into taking it down and redoing it on a platform that supported ads. There never was much readership. A good month was 5,000 unique views. Can't charge much for that.
At one point I did think of going over to ning and building more of a community, but then I realized that this audience doesn't want to think of their jobs during their time off. Unlike coffee or social media development where you live it almost all day every day because you want to.
Posted by: rich | Apr 16, 2009 7:37:16 PM
Hi Rich -
Probably depends on the type of shows you work with. Natural Products show? Ponytail A-OK. National Society of Accountants? Probably time to get the scissors out.
What about your blog though - you've probably got such great ranking because of it's age and content. Wonder if an ad supported model would bring in enough revenue? I'd be happy to point start forwarding TradeShowStartup.com to your blog instead of having it be on it's own. You could do a much better job than I for the industry anyway...

Exhibit 2.18: External Distribution and Publication Of Reports and Public Presentations
Exhibit 2.18 PDF version here.
- Introduction
- Caltrans and FHWA Policy
- Distribution of Unpublished Technical Reports
- Procedures for Evaluating Proposed Publications
- Publication and Distribution
- Mandatory Clauses
- Mandatory Distribution List for Published Reports
- Procedures for Evaluating Proposed Presentations
When there is demonstrable public benefit in doing so, Caltrans may copy and distribute, unedited or with minor editing to preserve confidentiality, technical reports prepared in the ordinary course of work. Additionally, Caltrans may authorize publication of reports, edited as needed, for wider distribution, or make public presentations based on Caltrans work in accordance with Caltrans and FHWA written policies.
Caltrans and FHWA Policy
FHWA's policy regarding the publication and distribution of cultural resources reports is addressed in FHWA's Guidance on the Consideration of Historic and Archeological Resources in the Highway Project Development Process (1988), responses to questions No. 18 and 25. Under question No. 18, it is stated "if widespread public interest is expected, a short, edited version focused at the non-academic public may be prepared. . . ." Regarding archaeological reports specifically, it states that a "limited number of copies of reports may be made available to the archeological community if it is determined by the Division Administrator to be in the public benefit and without financial gain to any party." Under question No. 25, FHWA approves of the use of Federal-Aid Highway Program funds to pay for "reasonable, justified efforts; such as . . . limited non‑profit publication; performed as a part of an approved research design . . ."
It is Caltrans' policy "to encourage and support publication/presentation of employee (or consultant) work-related, technical or educational reports when they add to, expand upon, or revise existing knowledge in the field of transportation or other professional specialties (e.g., archaeology, architectural history) within the Department" (Policy and Procedure, 82‑7 [revised 10‑2‑84], Publication of Employees' Work‑related and Other Technical Reports). Therefore, only cultural resource reports, papers, or findings of substantial interest and high quality may be considered for publication or presentation to the public.
Distribution of unpublished technical reports
Under certain circumstances, copies of Caltrans technical reports may be provided to the Caltrans Transportation Library, appropriate local or statewide repositories, or organizations or individuals who had expressed interest, particularly those parties who had contributed to the study. Distribution of reports may occur only after satisfying all of the following requirements:
- This stage of Section 106 is complete; the report is final, with SHPO concurrence.
- Distribution conforms to FHWA and Caltrans written policies.
- Confidentiality or privacy concerns have been satisfied; any confidential information has been removed.
- Public ownership of the reports has been established (for Caltrans distribution of consultant-prepared reports).
- The public benefit of distributing specific reports to specific recipients has been identified and approved by the appropriate Branch Chief.
Procedures for Evaluating Proposed Publications
Reports are evaluated for potential publication on a case‑by‑case basis. The Caltrans Professionally Qualified Staff (Caltrans PQS) who authored the report, or who approved a consultant-prepared report, submits an abstract of the proposed publication to the DEBC along with a memo recommending number of copies, price, and proposed distribution. The DEBC evaluates the request, and if it meets with approval, submits a recommendation to the District Director. If the District Director concurs, the request for approval is submitted to the Chief, Division of Environmental Analysis (DEA), who makes the final decision on publication and authorizes the use of Caltrans support services. It is anticipated that the DEA Chief, will consult with the Cultural and Community Studies Office (CCSO) Chief on publication of cultural resources reports.
If a Headquarters PQS authored or approved the report, a similar request is submitted through the appropriate CCSO branch chief to the CCSO Chief. The DEA Chief delegated to the CCSO Chief approval of such requests from Headquarters staff. The CCSO Chief will also consult on this decision with the DEBC responsible for the project.
Publication and Distribution
The sales price of the report, if sold by Caltrans, is determined by the total cost of the report's preparation and reproduction. Reports are sold exactly at cost in accordance with FHWA's non-profit policy for publications as well as California state law that prohibits making a gift of public funds (i.e., selling publications below cost).
Reports are sold through the Central Publications Distribution Unit. The use of other agents to print and distribute documents may be considered on a case‑by‑case basis, pending approval by Caltrans Legal Division.
Mandatory Clauses
All Caltrans reports – Credit and Disclaimer Statements
Whether published by Caltrans or consultants, all reports must include all of the following:
- The contract cost and contract number on the title page, per Government Code 7800
- For federal undertakings, the credit reference: "Prepared in cooperation with the State of California, Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, and the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration"
- For state-only projects and activities, the credit reference: "Prepared in cooperation with the State of California, Business, Transportation and Housing Agency"
- This disclaimer statement: "The contents of this report reflect the views of the author who is responsible for the facts and the accuracy of the data presented herein. The contents do not necessarily reflect the official views or policies of the State of California or the Federal Highway Administration [include FHWA for federal undertakings]. This report does not constitute a standard, specification, or regulation."
Consultant-prepared reports
A consultant may publish a PQS-approved final report. In addition to the above items, the consultant-prepared report may be published under the following conditions:
- Any material contained in the final report which has received final acceptance by the State and FHWA may be published in any form and through any media the consultant may desire without further written permission by Caltrans, subject only to the inclusion of credit and disclaimer statements (listed above), and with the exception of confidential Native American records (listed below) for which written permission is required.
- If Caltrans or FHWA disagree with a consultant's findings or conclusions, this information must be included in the published report along with any Caltrans or FHWA comments in a clearly identified section, such as "Sponsor's Comments." The consultant may publish the material contained in the report 70 days after it has been resubmitted in final form to Caltrans subject to the inclusion of: a statement that Caltrans does not concur with the findings and conclusions of the research; and the credit and disclaimer statements are included (listed above). The DEBC is responsible for ensuring that the information is included.
- Consultants may publish the results of the study or any of its particulars in separate reports or by submission of technical papers to professional organizations subject to the publication provisions outlined in their contracts. Both written and oral releases are considered to be within the context of publication. However, there is no intention to limit discussions of the study with small technical groups or lectures to employees or students. Lectures to other groups that describe the plans, but disclose neither data nor results are permissible without advance Caltrans review.
- In unusual cases when the scheduled time for the preparation of a technical paper, containing previously undisclosed findings, for presentation at professional meetings or submission to professional organizations does not permit time for formal review and acceptance, an abstract and notification of intent to present the paper shall be submitted to the appropriate DEBC or CCSO Chief for concurrence. Such concurrence will normally be given unless there is indication of new and controversial findings and conclusions based on data that Caltrans has not reviewed. To protect the interest of the sponsoring agencies, such presentations shall contain: 1) a statement that the paper has not been reviewed by the sponsoring agencies; and, 2) the credit and disclaimer statements (listed above).
- The confidential records of Native American graves, cemeteries, and sacred places, and records that relate to archaeological site information are exempt from public disclosure in reference to California Government Code §6254(r) and §6254.10 and shall not be published in any form and through any media without express written permission by the State.
Under state and federal law, a consultant is free to copyright material developed under a Caltrans contract, with the condition that the State and FHWA reserve a royalty‑free, nonexclusive, and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use, the report for government purposes. Such a clause should be included in any Caltrans contract involving cultural resources reports.
Mandatory Distribution List for Published Reports
When cultural resources reports are published for sale or for distribution to the public, Caltrans must follow the distribution policy outlined in "Distribution of Caltrans Publications," available in-house on the Caltrans Library and History Center Intranet site. Additionally Caltrans must distribute courtesy copies to:
- FHWA, if the report is the result of an FHWA-assisted project
- Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), if the publication is a stipulation of a Memorandum Of Agreement to which ACHP is a party
- California Native American Heritage Commission (if applicable)
- Appropriate CHRIS Information Center
FHWA may request that Caltrans forward a copy to appropriate National Park Service (NPS) Program (e.g., Archaeological Assistance, Heritage Documentation Programs, Heritage Preservation Services) at the Department of the Interior in Washington, DC, or to the NPS Regional Office, as appropriate. For California, it is the NPS Pacific West Regional Office in Oakland, California.
Procedures for Evaluating Proposed Presentations
When Caltrans staff plans to make public presentations, the following procedure is used. Papers and other presentations are evaluated on a case‑by‑case basis. The Caltrans Professionally Qualified Staff (Caltrans PQS) who proposes to make a public presentation or give a paper based on work done on behalf of Caltrans submits an abstract of the paper or presentation to the DEBC along with a memo explaining the benefit of making the presentation to the public. If the DEBC approves the presentation or paper, the DEBC provides notice of the presentation or paper to the District Director and the CCSO Chief.
If a Headquarters PQS proposes to give a paper or make a presentation, a similar request is submitted through the appropriate CCSO branch chief to the CCSO Chief for approval. The CCSO Chief will also consult on this decision with the DEBC responsible for the project, if the content of the presentation or paper involves a district project. If the CCSO Chief approves the proposed presentation or paper, the CCSO Chief provides notice of the presentation or paper to the DEA Chief and District Director, if applicable.
Consultants who propose presentations or papers based on work done on behalf of Caltrans will follow the specifications of the contract under which the work was presented.

This is another double post from name that plant forum, it is a salvia that was overwintered from fall cutting. The leaves are fuzzy with a nice tall blue stalk of flowers. The leaves are staying very compact at the bottom. It is also suffering from something (yellowing leaves and slow growth). Thanks for any help. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Plant in lower left corner of picture
Follow-Up Postings:
I can see your problem. Perhaps it's salvia incomprehesibilis or stangii? Worst comes to worst, you get to name it. It does remind me a bit of Indigo Spires under some sort of stress. |
I looks like S.'Blue Chiquita' to me. Actually 'Blue Chiquita' and 'Indigo Spires' share one parent, Salvia longispicata, so their flowers look a little bit similar. Check a pic of it in Plant Delights Nursery's website. DJR from Athens, Greece |

Dariot, thanks for the link, the term "deep quilting" fits the leaves perfectly along with fuzzy texture, but they do not have the shiny silver underside. Maybe that develops over time . . . or if it is not struggling for life. If it is Chiquita, and it survives the summer, I will need to bring it in for the winter--as it is out of my zone. |
So if it is Chiquita, why is it blooming now? I guess it's possible as short daylight period salvias reach the end of their season. It's a puzzle. By the way DJR, are new world salvias popular in Greek gardens, and who polinates them - sphinx moths? |
This can happen happen sometimes, especially if you have an extended period of clouding and more often in small plants. Here in Greece, where we don't usually see many cloudy days from May till October I don't usually get this. But if you've been for example in San Francisco you can see most short daylight period salvias flowering year round! Maybe it is a combination of daylight and temperatures as well. New world salvias are not very popular here, even though they do extremely well in our climate (I've been adding to my collection for the last 5 years and I never found one that couldn't grow well!). Only S.microphylla var.lemmonii is quite common in gardens. On the other hand old world salvias and particularly our natives like fruticosa, sclarea, nemorosa etc. are quite popular. |

Despite the small form factor, the case can still house up to three fans, up to six 2.5" drives and is very affordable. HTPC cases have been quite expensive traditionally but SilverStone's ML05 is wide available at a price as low as 37 Euros. Therefore we are curious to see if the quality is still au rendez-vous and what can be done with such a case.

Song For My Father, The Jody Grind and The Cape Verdean Blues are the only sessions I own right now although I should receive this week Horace Silver & The Jazz Messengers a mid 50's session I've heard great things of. So add your thoughts and make a few recommendations while you're at it. Thanks.

Irene Rosenfeld, the CEO of Kraft foods (known now as Mondelēz International, Inc.) offers valuable advice on the subject of being fearless at work, in business and in life. Her speech on her experiences as the CEO of the largest food brand in the world, explores her decision to buy Cadbury. She argues that taking huge risks—like that one—creates an environment in which businesses are more likely to succeed.
She states, "It is a simple fact that you can't steal second base if your foot is firmly planted on first." Rosenfeld argues that taking risks, especially in the earlier part of one's career, is the best way to not only get ahead, but also to learn valuable lessons that will be useful for many years to come.

Working with the "Non-Idol"
Over the past few year, I've been so-so about the TV show phenomenon "American Idol."> I've often felt a little silly around the water cooler (or studio console) as friends cheered their favorite Idol - many already achieving "one-name" status (Beau, Daughtery, etc). I NEVER could stomach the early rounds as the Holy Troyka (Randy, Paula, and Simon "LeGree") use some of the "vocally challenged" as comic pawns in their quest for rocketing ratings. It's just too mean for me.
However, this last season, I found myself tuning in to discover if this cherubic kid from Murray Utah was the real thing. Although he didn't win, I have to say that he definitely had "chops."
Well - last night, it was my pleasure to work with him in the studio on a couple of tunes he was recording on his new CD. As I produced his vocal tracking, I was taken by just how effortlessly he came up with fresh and new licks - each one better than the next and all distinctively "David."
So, yes, I am a big fan of David Archuleta (and his sweet and supportive parents Jeff and Lupe). Our musical world is better with this high school senior in it. Oh - and no, I probably won't be watching this season of A.I. either - at least not until I feel like the dumb one at the drinking fountain again.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
So far, we've discussed how HTML5 allows us to describe the contents of our documents in a more semantic way. In this movie, I want to explore how HTML5 expands your ability to add more meaning to how your pages relate to their resources and links, essentially giving you the ability to define the relationship between your current page and the external resources and pages that it links to. We will accomplish this by using the rel attribute. Now, the rel attribute isn't anything new. It's been around for quite some time, and I'm sure that in the past you've used it with the link tag, and possibly even the anchor element.
But in HTML5, the area tag has also been added to the elements that can use the rel attribute. So, what does it do? Well, if we go to the specification, and here I am looking at the author view of the HTML5 specification, and I am navigated to the link element section 4.2.4. If I scroll down just a little bit, I will get right into the section that discusses the rel attribute. Now, one of the things I want to point out before we get too deep into the rel attribute and what its allowed values are, is this little sentence right up here, "A link element must have a rel attribute." Now, contrast that with the anchor tag and the area element; both of those elements are optional in terms of using the rel attribute, so you have to use it on a link tag. On an anchor tag or an area tag, it's an optional value.
Okay, so what does the rel attribute, or relationship attribute, really actually do? Well, it basically defines the link; what type of link is it? And it's going to define it as either a link to an external resource or as a hyperlink. Now, of course there is a little bit more to it than this. Basically, it's helping user agents and applications find and use certain link types, as well as locating external resources that are necessary to the current page, like CSS files or external JavaScript documents.
Also, one of the really nice benefits of using it is it helps you describe the nature of links throughout a site. It's sort of describing how those pages relate to each other, and that's extremely helpful for search engines. So, there is a lot of value in using the rel attribute. Now, you are also limited, when you use it, to certain keywords. And if you notice right up here, the specification gives us a link to those allowed keywords and their meaning. So, in order to dig a little deeper into the rel attribute, let's go take a look at those.
So, here I am at section 4.12.3, Link types. Essentially, if I scroll down a little bit, we get this really nice table down here. What we have in the first column are the actual keyword values themselves. Then we have whether they can be applied to link or anchor and area. Notice that essentially, sometimes certain values are not allowed. So, for example, you couldn't use the bookmark keyword on a link element. And then there is a very brief description. Now, if you click on the name of the attribute keyword value itself, it will take you to a little bit of a longer description.
Before we check out any of those, let's take a look at some of these. And I want to focus on the ones that are new to HTML5. We have a dramatically expanded list of allowed keywords in HTML5 versus HTML 4. It's a lot larger, and a lot of those changes are reflecting the changing nature of web and how people and how links type and the way people have been using sites have changed a little bit. So, let's take a look, a very brief look at some of the new ones. We have author, which essentially says that this link is taking us to a document that describes or provides the contact information for the author of the document itself.
We have external, which is telling people that this link is going to a page outside, or an external site from the page that we are currently on. We have icon, which indicates that the resource is an icon that represents the site or the page, so this is used a lot for the fav icons that people use for their web sites. We have license. That indicates that the information in the current page is covered under the license that's described in the link document, so that's really helpful if you have links going out to legal documents or usage terms, things of that nature.
Now, I am going to scroll down just a little bit more. And this next section of links I want to talk about really showcases how some of these attribute values have been added, in terms of how web sites have been evolving. Now, the first one, for example, is nofollow. If any of you guys out there have been doing a lot of blogging, this probably is very familiar to you. It's essentially instructing a search engine not to follow the link. You are not endorsing that particular link or that side. You don't want it to affect your rankings based on where the site might go; maybe it's the site you don't trust, maybe you are really not sure where it's going, that sort of thing.
We have noreferrer, which instructs the user agent not to send an HTTP referrer along with the link. pingback, which is going to give the address of the server that handles pingbacks with the document. Again, this is really widely used in blogs. And we have a very interesting one here, prefetch. A prefetch informs the user agent to basically cache up the resources when the page loads before the link has been clicked. This is not very widely supported right now, and it remains to be seen whether this is going to be supported in any significant manner within user agents.
We have the search, which indicates that the linked resource allows users to search through the document and pages that might be related to that. And we have another one that is highly reflective of blogging, which is tag. That indicates that the given URL is also a user-designated tag for the current page. So, you can use this, for example, for tagging specific pages, or portions of pages. Now, it's really interesting to note here that the URL of the resource is actually the tag, not title that you might give the particular link.
So, if you were linking, for example, to page, that's also a category in your blog--maybe, for example, you're doing a movie review blog and you might have a reviews.html page. So, essentially the reviews would be the tag. Essentially, you are telling user agents that hey, this is also a tag within my blog, or within my site. Okay, now I mentioned before that if you click on one of these links-- so, for example, let me click on tag-- that will take you down to a little bit broader description. A lot of times you will have notes usage in here and some extra material, so be sure to go ahead and read those for a more thorough description of them.
Now, if you're not careful, it's easy to just look at his particular table and miss a lot of the other acceptable keywords for the rel attribute. So, I'm going to just go from where I am at right now, which is looking at the larger description of tag, and just scroll down a little bit. And if I scroll down another couple of sections to this 22.214.171.124 Other link types, I also see within the specification that it says that extensions to the predefined set of link types may be registered in the Microformats wiki existing-rel-values page.
Now what does that actually mean? Well, what it means is that any values described in the Microformats page is also acceptable to the HTML5 specification. Now, this is a constantly changing resource, and people are adding new ones all the time. So in order to keep up and keep track of all these attribute values, I want to give you a couple of resources. Now, the first is the Microformats page itself, and you can find this at microformats.org. And just scrolling through this page shows you that there are a ton of values that we did not see in the HTML5 specification.
Now, just to give you an idea of what's going on here, you are going to find the value itself, a brief description of that, and then the specification from where that comes. Now, this page can be a little confusing. There are a lot of tables on here and if you read through them, you'll find out what's going on. Some of these are just brainstorming ideas, some of them are listing values that have been prior specifications and now appear to be dropped, and then some are proposed. So, there is a lot happening. There is another page that you can go to that has probably a neater and more concise list, and that is a Webtap magazine.
If you go to Webtap magazine and browse through their archives, go into September of 2010 and you'll find a link to the page, Your Ultimate Guide to the Rel Attribute in HTML5. Now, if I scroll down here, I can see there is a much more concise table. This gives me not only the value but the specification which it was found in, in terms of was it found in HTML5 as well as HTML 4, and then you can scroll down and you can find ones that are only on the HTML5 specification, and kind of what's going on with that.
And then it also lists some that are existing in other specifications as well. So, it's a nice color-coded list of all the acceptable values, which elements they are allowed on, and what spec they belong to. Now, again this is a constantly changing list. This article is from September of 2010. So really, to keep up to date with this, make sure that you continue to reference back to the HTML5 specification as well as the Microformats page, so you can get a nice idea as to what is currently acceptable and which ones have been added.
All right, so now that we have explored some of our options for defining link relationships, we are going to go back to our trails page and finish it up by adding rel attributes to some of our links, and we are going to tackle that next.

5 Things Kendrick Lamar Needs On His Next Album
#2. We want to hear Kendrick Lamar address the backlash that he received from other rappers after he dropped his verse on Big Sean's "Control."
After Kendrick dropped his "Control" verse, there were lots and lots of rappers who responded to him. It was one of the defining moments of his career thus far. So we want to hear Kendrick address the song and the reaction that it got from other rappers. We'd also love to hear Kendrick rap like he did on "Control" on at least one or two (or 10!) songs.
