David Cronenberg addresses the critics
David Cronenberg's second commercial feature, 1977's Rabid, is one of the films from the director's early "Baron of Blood" years. These movies were controversial at the time of release, leading some critics, such as (out gay, left-leaning, highly politicized film writer) Robin Wood, to condemn Cronenberg's cinema as misogynist and reactionary (see his essay "Cronenberg: A Dissenting View" in The Shape of Rage: The Films of David Cronenberg, edited by current TIFF CEO Piers Handling).
One might speculate that the increased introspectiveness of mid-period Cronenberg (Videodrome, The Fly, Dead Ringers) was influenced by such accusations. Certainly after The Brood—made in 1979, and climaxing in one of the more striking examples of male-on-female violence in all of Cronenberg's cinema—there are no further "monstrous women," and even a fair number of female protagonists (in, for instance, eXistenZ, Eastern Promises, and A Dangerous Method). Could it be that Wood's criticisms were useful to Cronenberg? That they pushed him into intensified self-examination?
"No, never," he says matter-of-factly. "I mean, I liked him very much; we were on stage together a couple of times, debating and talking, and we were always very civil. He was obviously a very bright guy. But he totally misunderstood my moviemaking and where I was coming from. And there was a tipping point in his career where his criticism ceased to become interesting. The reason for that is that it would lead him to praise films that would fit into his political agenda, but were obviously rotten films!" (Larry Cohen's It's Alive gets mentioned in this regard in The Shape of Rage). "Once you've done that, I think you're no longer valid as a critic, you're something else. You're a political commentator or something."
Still, surely The Brood is an example of a film where some of Wood's criticisms stick? The film, informed by an acrimonious divorce and custody battle that Cronenberg was experiencing, ends with the protagonist, Frank Carveth (Art Hindle), strangling his wife Nola (Samantha Eggar) to death, after he discovers that (spoiler alert!) she has been giving birth to monstrous, killer children from an extruding womb-sac—a truly grotesque representation of the womb and motherhood. Cronenberg publicly confessed in interviews that the scene was inspired by his desire to strangle his ex-wife. Wood was not the only critic to call the depiction of Nola misogynist. In hindsight, doesn't Cronenberg feel Wood scores some points?
"Frankly, I don't think he scored any points against me," Cronenberg responds. "I think points were scored against his credibility as a critic!" The problem, Cronenberg says, is one of "assigning universal values" to the film, of "saying that this character represents all womanhood. Imagine that you're trying to create a drama, and you're creating characters. How paralyzed you would be if each character was meant to represent a universal; if every man was meant to represent your attitude towards men; and every woman your attitude towards women; and every child your attitude towards children? How could you possibly function?" Cronenberg has no doubt such films exist—pointing to totalitarian propaganda as a possible example—but doubts any are much good as movies.
Nor do the autobiographical elements in The Brood leave him feeling particularly exposed. "It's still very, very fictionalized," he says. "It's not like writing an autobiography, where the premise is that 'this is as accurate a depiction of actual events in my life as possible.' That was never the structure of The Brood. And of course, if I really wanted to keep quiet about it, I wouldn't have said anything."
Has he ever felt, in hindsight, that he's crossed a line, and left himself vulnerable to criticism? Again, he answers: "No. Never. That a film might fail internally because it's not well-conceived or well-crafted, that's possible. Obviously my early films, as I've said many times, were my film school. You're seeing me learn to make films right before your very eyes, and obviously the early films are, y'know, they're pretty rough… but vulnerable? This is the thing that young filmmakers and young artists out there of any kind are shocked to discover. It's all vulnerability. You are putting yourself out there for anyone to comment on, and to react to, in ways that might surprise you. I'm totally vulnerable, with every film. But not necessarily because I've made a bad film or I've done something I didn't know I was doing, but because you are offering yourself up for evaluation."
In point of fact, Cronenberg seldom finds professional film criticism of any sort useful. "Criticism is always after the fact, you know? You've made the movie. I'm not saying that a critic can't point out interesting things about your work that you haven't at least rationally understood. Maybe you've intuited it, and they might be articulate enough to make it accessible to you in a rational way. But if you're bad with actors, then you are," he says with a laugh. "A critic pointing it out is not going to make you better. It's usually so abstract or theoretical that even if you thought, 'Yeah, yeah, he's right, I'm not really good with music,' how do you make yourself better with music?"
His preferred method of getting feedback on a film is to "screen for friends and family," before it gets released. "It's not on the big screen, but Blu-ray looks pretty good on a plasma screen, with 5.1 surround sound. And of course with family members and friends, you have an idea what their tastes are, so you can adjust their reactions to that." It helps, too, that his son Brandon has followed in his father's footsteps as a filmmaker, with his 2012 feature Antiviral. "We have a very close and congenial relationship, and we definitely show each other stuff, things we've written. It's lovely to have somebody that you're that close to who can be analytical in a technical way, if you need it."
The third part of Allan MacInnis's interview with David Cronenberg, in which the filmmaker dissusses "the Cronenbergian", will be published on Thursday (March 27).
The retrospective David Cronenberg: From Within opens at the Cinematheque next Thursday (April 3) with a screening of the Vancouver theatrical debut of the director's cut of Videodrome, presented by UBC Cronenberg scholar Ernest Mathijs.
...because to be honest, I agree with him about The Brood, and there was a point in the interview, above, where I had to choose to interview Cronenberg or argue with him. There's ALL SORTS of reasons for arguing that the depiction of Nola (and The Brood as a whole) is misogynist, and that what is horrific about Nola is meant to be applied to other women. For one, the images of her offer a grotesque representation of female anatomy - a monstrous womb, a monstrous birth. These certainly seem to show the director's horrified revulsion at the female body and reproduction (Cronenberg even went so far in one interview as to describe Nola licking the blood and goo off one of the brood as a "bitch licking her pups." Yikes!). These images resonate far beyond Nola as an isolated character, seem to show the director's horror at anything with a womb. Plus there's the suggestion that Nola's monstrosity is connected both to her abusive mother, who is to blame for how screwed up Nola is, and to her daughter, who bears the signs of having Nola's, um, gift (which, we're told, is not the result of Psychoplasmics, but something innate to her). Two of the four females in the film (Nola and her mother) are monsters; one of the remaining, Nola's daughter, is shown at the end to have the potential to become monsters; and the one female who is NOT monstrous (the teacher) is brutally bludgeoned to death. I guess I maybe let Cronenberg off a little easy on this count, but I have always found The Brood a politically unsympathetic film, much as I love aspects of it (like Robert Silverman!)
Thought of a perspective that deserves a mention: that of Caelum Vatnsdal, author of They Came From Within: A History of Canadian Horror Cinema (named after the US title for Cronenberg's Shivers). He has this to say about The Brood:
"Anyone wishing to tar Cronenberg as a misogynist may as well start here... [but] in my opinion, one viewing of The Brood makes it plain that, rather than hating and fearing all women, Cronenberg hates and fears one woman in particular: his ex-wife."
What if the Brood is not misogynist in that the monster is not a human woman? Perhaps Eggar's character ceases to be a human when she develops an external creche, a feature not found in our species, therefore killing her is not exactly the same as killing your ex; the true (if accidental) villain is the psychologist who develops psychoplasmics.
Also, is the choke out scene played for laffs and easy catharsis, or is it gruelling, horrible, meant to evoke pity and horror?
Maybe this is too much mental gymnastics - if it seems like misogyny, it probably is misogyny. But almost anything is fair game for art. A character can be admirable yet flawed, even severely, grossly flawed.
Yet another consideration is that the 1970s featured proper villains. It seems to me (someone largely disinterested in horror) that Silence of the Lambs begat the loveable serial murderer, leading to the moralistic Seven, the paradoxically life-embracing Saw, and the downright cuddly Dexter. Were someone to shoot The Brood today, I could easily envision a take where the generation of ravening id monsters (a trope seen in Forbidden Planet) to take revenge on wrongdoers is seen as understandable or even amusing.
On the other hand, Cronenberg does not seem especially motivated to present women in a good light, or really anyone in a good light. Like an inquisitor, he likes to show us suffering, and instruments of suffering, in a cold and deliberate fashion. We're not supposed to find a great deal of comfort in his images, I believe.
What I want to ask you now is this: since you have raised the topic of unpleasant, unsavoury, even reprehensible authorial statements in a film that you might otherwise admire and endorse, can you think of other examples?
And on a tangent, do you as a viewer find it easier to watch a movie which happens to have an objectionable image or notion here and there, or a movie which in itself has unobjectionable content but is made by someone who is or is believed to be a heinous character?
Gaspar Noe's Irreversible is pretty fascinating, too, though I think it's deeply, problematically homophobic. Truth is, I'll watch and enjoy all manner of reactionary, right-wing movies - Clint Eastwood, Arnold, Bruce Willis, what have you. I tend to make the decoding of the problematic aspects of the text part of the pleasure: Die Hard's subtext sure seems to be that women shouldn't have careers, for example, and that's probably the most interesting way to approach the film! Still, I salivate in a Pavlovian way at all the right bell-ringings. I mean, I wept during Rambo III, when I saw it theatrically...
As for the rest, I'm not sure what you mean about movies with unobjectionable content made by heinous characters. I watched Powder not too long ago; the director, Victor Salva, was outed as some sort of pedophile - Wikipedia lists him sexually molesting the 12 year old lead of his earlier film Clownhouse, and filming the encounters; this was the subject of some outrage, since Powder was produced by Disney(!). The film was reasonably interesting, but knowing about the director's past definitely lingered in my awareness while watching it...

I am wondering who out there has grown any of the hybrid witch hazels like Arnold's Promise, Jelena, Diane etc. in zone 5 or colder zones. How about chinese witch hazel Pallida? Whats the upper limit on cold hardiness you have found. Lots of sources say 5 or 6. Any success in 4b? Thanks |
Here is a link that might be useful: Witch hazel tree for flowers in February
Follow-Up Postings:
I've had a 5b winter so far and mine are all still alive. Jelena, Girard's Purple and Arnold's Promise. The fall color on Jelena has been terrible and the other two have been spectacular. These are just early observations over 2 years. The first year I had them we had a 6b winter. I picked up a couple Vernal witch hazels as they are a bit more hardy and color more reliably. Songsparrow has a slew of cultivars including several in various fall color shades....I always thought they go gold but there some that are somewhat orange and others that are red. |
'Diane' has been 100% ok for me for 10 years. There was a 'Diane' growing in a street planting that died last year from drought....it was 20+ years old. I'm in zone 5b and hit that threshold (-10F to -15F) virtually every year and usually multiple times in a season. Coldest I remember from the last 15 years was -18F. For this area, 'Diane' has great yellow fall color but the red flower petals just don't seem to get longer than 1/4" (3/8" tops)....makes for a lackluster display. |

It's likely you've used CAPTCHA or one of its variations when accessing a web site. You may understand that it's a security measure against bots that attack a site to retrieve sensitive information. Did you know that CAPTCHA is also an artificial intelligence test? CAPTCHA stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart " (catchy right?). CAPTCHA presents an interesting problem in artificial intelligence, and thanks to hackers and spammers there have been breakthroughs. These puzzles are a way of solving one of the many challenges that make up a Turing test. Before I elaborate on that subject, here's a little background on Turing tests and teaching computers to "think."
Alan Turing was a brilliant cryptanalyst and mathematician in WWII and was a significant figure in the history of computer science. Among other things he formalized a method of judging a machine's "intelligence." The test can be stated simply as: "can a computer convince a human that it is also a human?" In practice this has proved to be an immense challenge for researchers and engineers in the field of artificial intelligence. There are so many things that we don't understand about ourselves that it's hard to translate them to programming and hardware. Some simpler Turing tests have been solved since Dr. Turing proposed the idea, such as playing a game of chess or writing poetry.
This brings us back to the popular form of site security that isn't that secure anymore. CAPTCHA worked well at first because to a machine the puzzles were unintelligible. Machines didn't read the images as letters but as a combination of pixels that made an image without any real meaning. This meant that telling a computer and a human apart was as simple as saying "read this" and having the user type the combination of letters and numbers into an input box. Then OCR (optical character reading) got better and computers were able to read the image as a human would, making it easy for hackers to break into a web site with a script. Just like that, CAPTCHA ceased to be secure. Enter the next generation of puzzles: reCAPTCHA and image CAPTCHA. reCAPTCHA serves 2 purposes: one is to digitize books and the other is to make sites safe from the ne'er-do-wells of the internet. OCR isn't perfect which means that when a book gets scanned in to be digitized, the computer sometimes can't read the words. A human on the other hand can read a wavy word more easily and so every puzzle a human user solves and enters into the input box progresses the digitizing of books. Because of this flaw it also makes it harder to break into a site and therefore, the site becomes more secure. In the same vein are image puzzles such as KittenAuth, a CAPTCHA that asks a user to select the kitten from a group of animals. Machines as of now have trouble recognizing images as one subject or another and can't discern the difference between a kitten and a puppy. Humans again, have no trouble doing so. However, technology will get better and spammers that really want to break a site will find ways around these forms of CAPTCHA.
So what does GenderAuth bring to the table? This form of CAPTCHA takes advantage of another feature that computers can't identify well: gender. GenderAuth presents a table of images and asks the user to select all female faces from the table. A machine trying to differentiate between the images by using the shapes present or the colors will have a hard time because a face is generally the same shape and color has ceased to identify gender as much as it once did. Where you or I could quickly pick out a woman's face from a selection, a computer would have to guess which brings the chances of it picking correctly down quite significantly. Because the user must select more than one face, the computer's chances are now very low. This makes GenderAuth secure to scripting and bot attacks. It also presents a complex Turing test to be solved. If a computer can tell the difference between a man and a woman, just think of how much closer it would be to accurately behaving like a human?
The next time you face a CAPTCHA, I invite you to consider the test you are solving and what it means for the world of computers and how such a simple every day device is advancing research and the digitizing of books. Looking for more on GenderAuth? Find it here.

There's just enough logic to get Airport and similar PC Cards running. Prism2 isn't an Orinoco, so of course the system won't know what to do with it. Trying to use a PC Card in this slot might have worked on the Pismo or TiBook, but since the iBooks don't possess a full-fledged PC Card controller, you're completely screwed. PowerPC Airport Extreme is a similar setup, only it's MiniPCI and uses Broadcom chipsets. In both cases, it's a cost reduction measure.

I would love to try using these fabrics but now I wonder how much special care would these quilts need. Are they more or less a show quilt or can I use the quilt or everyday usage. I think you can get the prettiest fabric. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use batiks all the time and haven't had any problems with them. I think in the 'early days' of batiks there were big issues with bleeding colors but I haven't experienced that. I made a D9P for a 10 year old boy using batiks and I can guarantee it gets washed often! He uses it on his bed, naps with it, takes it in the car on trips, and drags it to the yard for making forts. The dog sleeps on it with him. I used dark colors on his on purpose, but even on other projects I haven't had problems. I'm about to do a log cabin with light & dark batiks and am confident it will be OK. Some do have a different hand, feeling stiffer or softer, thinner or thicker than others. For a big project I would recommend either ordering them from a major vendor like Hancocks of Paducah, or a major brand like Bali Pops or Tonka Treasures, or I would buy them at a quilt store so I could touch them before buying.

I use batiks and hand-dyed fabrics more and more. They wash beautifully and can offer so much interest in a quilt when used with other prints/calicos/tonals, etc. Sometimes a quilt really needs a color, but something with a print would just be too much. Batiks and hand-dyes can really add that dimension without the added distraction (hey, I like that phrase!lol) Simply, I think they add interest. |
This one is of Bali watercolor batiks (Hancocks of Paducah). It's been washed at least 10 times, with no fading. I did use a color-catcher sheet the first couple of washings, but there was really no bleeding. This now lives on my guest bed, and is maybe 6 years old. |

I love batiks and hand dyes. I've never had any bleeding with batiks but did with hand dyes. I use the color catchers and they work so well I'm brave now. Did I say I love batiks? |
Since I'm just beginning to quilt, I have no long-term experience with batiks. I can say that I just bought 13 different orange and yellow batiks to make a quilt for my granddaughter. I washed them first, and nothing bled, even though some colors were very vivid. I love working with the tight weave of the batik fabrics. Bias cuts retain their integrity better too. |
That's right, Lois, they don't stretch along the bias very much. The tight weave and lack of stretch have made them kind of a challenge for my hand applique project (which I STILL have not gotten back to) but the colors make it worth the struggle! On the other hand, you never know WHICH way they are going to stretch which makes them kind of a challenge in regular piece work. I've had some batiks get a little 'pouchy'. |

My laptop Hard disk heats , it reached to 55 sometimes, so all the time I have acooling pad to make it in the range of 40s.
when I checked the cycle count by smart tools, I found out that the count doesn't increase at all. it means my Hard disk never spins down..
When I try "hdparm -y /dev/sda" it spins down and immediate spins up again. and of course the cycle count increases by one every time I use that command.
well ... when I use the command with the -Y it sleeps for a couple of seconds before it spins up again which actually decreased the temperature !
now I want to put that in a script to issue the hdparm -Y command every 5 minutes for example. but I dont know if that is healthy to the HD or not .. as I heard the hard disk is supposed to increase the cycle count by about 15 every hour .. so I guess its fine !
and I am looking for a way yo increase the write cache so linux doesn't have to spin up the hard disk after seconds of spin down..
I can use some advice from people who tried this before .. thanks

Have you tried the -B <n> option with hdparm? From the hdparm man page:
Code:-B Set Advanced Power Management feature, if the drive supports it. A low value means aggressive power management and a high value means better per- formance. A value of 255 will disable apm on the drive.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

Hi there,
We planted a new Rose of Sharon in our front yard this year. It's currently 3 feet tall. It says it gets to 10-12 feet. So my question is do I leave this in the ground, cut it back, dig it out for the winter or what? I'm guessing I can leave it in the ground, but we wanted to be sure. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
The plant can be left in the ground.Do not cut it back as Rose of Sharon is a shrub.Because this will be its first winter,it should be protected against frost and wind.I wrap mine with burlup(protective fabric sold in garden centers.) and i mulched it with a thick layer of leafes after first frost.Hope it will help.Good luck! Hala. |
I agree with halaeva, I did the same thing last fall with my new Rose of Sharon. I bought it at a yard sale for 75 cents and it was only about a foot tall. I layed down newspaper and mulched it with straw. It did great this winter and is now almost 6 feet tall and full of pale purple blooms. If you cut it back you are cutting back the growth that your blooms come out on because it blooms off this years new growth. Most people reccomend pruning in late winter. You can fertilize it in the spring and summer but be careful not to overwater it. Good Luck! P.S. Does anybody have a idea what a pale purple Rose of Sharon with a dark pink inside might be called? |

text: Well, her VMA performance made that show actually watchable. Other then her, it was incredibly boring. Also, she has a new song out called "Ronan". It is about a 4 year old boy who died of Neuroblastoma. The mother of the boy helped cowrite on the song so it is very personal. It was one of Taylor's best songs she has ever written. Everyone should go and listen to it, plus if you like it: go to iTunes and buy it. All the proceeds from the single is all going to cancer research/patients. Totally worth it!

Ortiz calls for stricter internet piracy regulations
May 14, 2009
Assemblymember Felix W. Ortiz (D- 51AD) today invited his fellow legislators to join him in the fight to combat internet piracy. "I will be introducing legislation in the next week which, similar to recently enacted French legislation, would operate a three strike policy for people caught illegally downloading or sharing internet content" Ortiz said.
This proposed legislation would stipulate that first time offenders would receive a warning e-mail, followed by a formal letter and finally have their internet connection severed for up to a year if they were caught a third time.
Every year the illegal downloading and file sharing of copyrighted material costs record companies, film studios and musicians billions of dollars in potential revenues. According to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), $2.3 billion was lost to internet piracy in 2006. Internet piracy is a serious problem for legislators. "Internet piracy is tantamount to theft", Assemblyman Ortiz elaborated, "and as theft is a crime punishable by law then so too should internet piracy."
To date France is the only country to have passed such legislation. Although hearings on this topic have been held on the federal level, no steadfast solutions have emerged.
"New York has a history of enacting enterprising legislation and I believe that this bill would continue the trend. This bill highlights our state's initiative and progressive nature when dealing with new and unforeseen problems" Ortiz concluded.

Last night, as the East Coast was coming out of our hurricane cocoons, the music-eratti descended on Los Angeles for the 26th annual MTV Video Music Awards. Now, this awards show is always confusing, mainly because MTV hardly plays music videos anymore, so it seems strange to have an awards show for them. But it's always a night for over-the-top performances, and where stars can wear their most insane ensembles, no questions asked.

The Highs and Lows of pH
By: Kirsten Sheridan
Posted: June 9, 2008
page 4 of 5
Internal pH imbalances result from physiological circumstances, as well as an imbalanced diet—"You are what you eat." Topping the list of foods that create undesired acidity in the body are refined sugars, caffeine and soda. More alkaline foods include fresh fruits and vegetables. Even citrus fruits, which generally are acidic, are treated as alkaline in nature by the body.
Many people have an overly acidic internal pH range, but, fortunately, just as the acid mantle has the ability to repair itself, the body has mechanisms that enable its internal chemistry to maintain homeostasis. There are buffers that help to restore the acid/alkaline balance when it is out of whack. However, these sometimes are not enough. If the body becomes too highly acidic, a condition called acidosis occurs. Toxins build up, and cellular degradation results.
A piece of the puzzle
Although pH is not the only concern when providing great skin care or slowing the aging process, it is a very important piece of the puzzle in the pursuit of better health—both inside and out.

At first I thought this was surely meant to be a direct message sent by Falcons cornerback Asante Samuel to, um, someone. Anyone who treats Twitter like cocaine has made that mistake once or twice due to a mind that's been numbed from hours staring at a computer screen, and fumbling fingers.
But amazingly, Samuel still hasn't deleted it, and it's sitting quite randomly on his timeline, where the last tweet that wasn't an RT or some kind of blatant promo whoring job came early yesterday morning when he asked the world what its plans were for the day. How nice.
He doesn't offer an explanation for exactly what kind of thickness he'd like to touch far more often. The Internetz can answer every question that's ever faced humanity, and thanks to the thickness hashtag that's now going strong and has been helped by a Samuel retweet (wait, what?), we now have our answer…

Video: Husband Records Wife While on Laughing Gas
By Michael Allen, Wed, November 14, 2012
A young woman named 'Julie' was recently recorded by her husband Cameron after getting her wisdom teeth pulled, while high on laughing gas.
The video (below) was uploaded by Cameron, who edited the funnier parts of the video together.
The video has gotten more than a million views, but there is no word on whether or not Julie was angry at her husband for the video, reports HuffingtonPost.com.
While the video is getting lots of laughs, there are people who have actually died from overdoses of nitrous oxide during illegal recreational use.
It's not uncommon for people to try to copy what they watch on YouTube.

External Storage devices have come a long way. It all began with the good old floppy disks which a hand full of people surprisingly still use today, then we saw the transition to CD/DVD media, USB keys/pen drives, pocket sized HDDs, and 2.5"/3.5" HDD enclosures.
BUT, what happens when the data on that device decides to pack up on you? - That's when it hits you; you hear that voice in your head saying "I should've done that back up I kept telling myself to do in the past!"
An interesting feature is the implementation of RAID in external enclosures. As many would know, RAID was predominantly available for high-end server machines and large scale business enterprises. Nowadays this feature is enabled across many user desktop platforms, allowing for mirroring, spanning and spanning with mirroring (speed, redundancy or both).
For this feature we will be using the striping method, that being RAID-0. This provides the highest possible performance with additional storage space, but with no fault tolerance.
Getting your hands on this device should solve your problems when it comes to flexible mobile storage with fail-safe protection. This is Enhance Technology's T4H CR. The unit comprises a very nicely built enclosure with handles for easy mobility, four HDD eSATA bays, a built-in LCD display for setup and configuration, and last but most certainly not least, a RAID controller with levels 0, 0+1 and 5. An independent PSU and rear mounted case fan is also resident.
Before we get into the benchmarking side of things, let's perform a close physical inspection of the unit itself to get the full gist of what's on offer.

"Climax" singer Usher is set to take over the reins on NBC's "The Voice" and we have a first look at him in the judge's chair inside……
When NBC's "The Voice" returns to television on March 25, veteran judges Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will be joined be Shakira and R&B superstar Usher. Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo will be taking a leave for a while to work on their albums.
For fans who are wondering how the crooner's suave style will translate on camera, he says,
"My style is more military than anything because I'm all about the preparation. My style is to make them understand the seriousness of the craft and that they have the very best opportunity to be the greatest — or the worst — depending on how you take it."
And Usher's new co-workers are thrilled to have him on board because he's already proved that he has what it takes to pic out talent (e.g. Justin Bieber) Adam Levine said,
"As much as I hate to say this about another coach in the beginning, Usher has done what this show has yet to do – launch a superstar and that's our goal. That's something we want to do as an institution."
Good luck Usher!
Usher spent part of his holiday vacation with his girlfriend Grace Miguel in Cancun.
And the couple brought Usher's kids along for the fun too. Cute!

This is the chandelier I'm thinking about getting.
This is another one I was looking at and I noticed it comes with black and white candles. White Black That got me to wondering if you can change the candles on most of these types of chandeliers. I'm not sure if I want white or ivory shades, so I'm hesitant to order the one I like until I decide. Also, are all lamps shades made the same? Could I buy a shade from PB and use on this lamp? I originally wanted this PB chandelier and it has the black candles, so I could use any color shade I want. It would be the safe choice and I do like it. |
Follow-Up Postings:
can you tell me where you saw these chandys I really like them. To answer your question, I didn't think I would like the black candles, but I do! I think all shades pretty much are the clip on type so you could source them later. |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Sat, Sep 15, 12 at 9:42
Usually the candles are just cylinders, plastic or metal, that slip on and off. We have a lamp repair place near us and he has all of that stuff. In that size, id imagine the shades just clip on, and yes, are very easy to change out. |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Sat, Sep 15, 12 at 9:46
my parents had to buy replacements for their cracked candles. They sell these candle covers at many lighting stores in lots of colors, like white or ivory or metals. you can also get wax candle covers too for more realistic looking candles. |
That's great! Thank you! juliokcmo - #1 is World Import Hastings 6-light from Lighting Direct. #2 is Black Iron 5-light from Overstock and #3 is Graham from PB. Just curious, which one do you like the best? |

The shades -- i"m a sucker for texture. If it's just the chandelier, I think it depends on your ceiling height. The last one looks a little squished. |

I was light shopping earlier today and saw some of the chandeliers like #2 with the thinner iron and they were really attractive! So, I vote #2. And I like it with the black candles. |
beeps - Where did you go shopping? I can't find anything like these locally. |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Sun, Sep 16, 12 at 10:34
Nice options! I wouldn't like the wicker shades for two reasons...first, because a chandelier is designed after real candle fixtures, and it would bother me in the back of my mind to have something clearly flammable on them. (I know - this is just my own peculiarity, like not liking blue or white floors because they aren't colors you usually walk on in nature....) But the second reason is that I like clean white or barely warmed light to come through shades, and unless they are opaque (like lacquered ones), I rarely want colored shades that darken or tint the ambient light. |
The "candles" are meant to look like real candles....I think black or polka dotted or striped "candles" on a chandelier look just plain stupid and contrived. I have seen chandelier shades sold very very cheaply...like at the dollar store. I know people who regularly change them out....and drape the whole fixture in white "spider web" for Halloween and in glitter gauze for Christmas.....another puts big tulle bows on the chandelier for Christmas....and straw shades in the summer. |
I went to Lamps Plus and a place called "the Lighting Gallery." I can't remember which store I saw them at, but I think the Lighting Gallery. The store is sort of a fly-by-night place that offers "internet pricing" and doesn't have anything in stock. But, they had a lot of lights to look at - some that I haven't seen before. |

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011G'day! I was out and about yesterday, and finally picked up a copy of Flea Market Style magazine, I love this publication! A big thank you to the editors for the mention under favorite blogs! "Best for Gals Who Love Power Tools" Yep, that's me!
I also stumbled across this sweet little book in the bookstore and had to have it!

This feels like a silly question to be asking here, but I just can't come to a decision for whatever reason. I recently upgraded to an induction cooktop (36" Bosch 500 series) and am loving it. I knew going in that many of my pots and pans likely wouldn't work (cheaper and older stainless that wasn't magnetic "enough"). I decided to take the opportunity to downsize the set of pots and pans I had while upgrading to some nicer and induction compatible models. I think I have just about everything I need for now with the exception of a "medium" sized stock pot. What I'm stuck on is deciding between an 8-qt (probably with a pasta insert) or a 12-qt. Right now I have 2 pots that fit the "stock pot like" category a 6.5 qt Le Creuset dutch oven and a 16 qt Le Creuset stock pot (enameled steel). I rarely use the 16-qt pot because it is just a monster, but it comes in handy when I make very large batches of soups or boil shrimp indoors.
In the transition I lost a 6-qt stock pot and an 8-qt "pasta pot". I think the 6.5 qt dutch oven is going to be my new "go to" pot for many of the things I cook (lot's of gumbo's, stews, chili, etc) which I previously made in the 6-qt stock pot. I need a pot for making pasta and the 8-qt would surely be big enough most of the time (family of 4). I have mixed feelings about the pasta inserts. The one I had didn't reach down far enough so you needed more water than you would otherwise which led to boiling over and spitting, but they are very convenient for easy straining. On the other hand, the 12-qt would be large enough for me to make a large batch of gumbo without having to resort to the 16-qt. The 16-qt always feels too big to me, but it has it's uses when I need to feed a large crowd, or am making extra for freezing. What do I do to make this seemingly simple decision? FYI, I'm looking at these after reading some reviews here and at the walmart site: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tramontina-8-qt.-18-10-TriPly-Clad-Stainless-Steel-Stockpot/5716480 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tramontina-12-Qt.-18-10-TriPly-Clad-Stainless-Steel-Stock-Pot-80116-517/5716479 Thanks, Tim |

You say you want a "stock pot"....but what you are taking about is a Dutch oven. If you really want a stock pot, to boil up bones and stuff to make stock....go with the 16 quart...which you have. Get the 8 qt spaghetti pot with the insert....and make sure it has a clad bottom so you can use it for soups as well. Linda c |

How big do you let the sprout get before you cut off the subtending leaf? Itty bitty sprouts are just starting to show up on my plants. |

Why prune leaves at all? |
- Posted by gardennana_2009 5 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 18, 09 at 23:20
Sprouts will first form at the bottom of the plant and continue forming upwards toward the top for several weeks. Brussels sprouts are ready to harvest when the tiny heads are firm, green, and 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Remove sprouts by twisting them gently until they break away from the plant. As you remove the lower sprouts, it would be best to also remove any yellowing leaves; so the plant does not spend any energy in that area of the plant. As the Brussels Sprouts continue to grow upward, it will be producing more leaves and sprouts. The plant will withstand frosts and can be harvested until a hard freeze strikes. We have found that the best-quality sprouts are the ones produced during sunny days with light frosts in the night hours. As winter is approaching, you can trick the sprouts into maturing all at once by cutting off the top of the plant about 3 weeks before you want to harvest. In the production area of commercial growing of Brussels Sprouts, this trick is what they use to get their products to the market. One full-sized, healthy plant can bear between 2 to 3 pounds of sprouts. They will come quickly at first but as the weather gets colder the production will slow down. Full-grown sprouts will keep well on the plant as the weather gets colder, making them a great winter harvest item for gardeners in the South when they are planted in the fall. In cold climates, gardeners will often bury Brussels sprouts plants up to their tops in hay or leaves in late fall, then go pull off the little sprouts as needed during the winter. You can store fresh unwashed sprouts in plastic bags in the refrigerator. Fresh sprouts taste best, so limit refrigeration to a day or two. |

I harvest the sprouts from the bottom up when needed. I may only pick 6 -10 sprouts from each plant at a time. (I like them smaller, about the size of small superball) As I pick each sprout, I remove the leaf where it was attached. Some say to lop off the top at some point to force the sprouts to mature faster or at the same time (not sure about this exactly). I've never done this, as I just let it keep on growing up as I pick the lower sprouts. As of right now, my spouts plants look like giant lollipops growing out of my garden! lol. Best of luck with your plants. |
- Posted by spiced_ham z5 OH (My Page) on Wed, Aug 19, 09 at 11:22
This is what I'm talking about http://urbanext.illinois.edu/veggies/brusselssprouts1.html "Some gardeners believe that the sprouts develop better if the lowermost six to eight leaves are removed from the sides of the stalk as the sprouts develop. Two or three additional leaves can be removed each week, but several of the largest, healthiest, fully expanded upper leaves should always be left intact on top to continue feeding the plant" |
The way I look at it is the plant knows what it needs. It produces leaves to make food from photosynthesis. If the plant has no use for the leaf it will cast it off. If the leaf is green, it's working and benefiting the plant. Removing leaves can only reduce the plant's energy so I don't see the point. I don't think removing a few leaves really harms the plant in any noticeable way, I just don't see the purpose or what benefit it would provide. |
I have never removed any leaves from mine and I have never had any good sprouts. This year I remove some leaves. |

In some emergency situations it might not be practical or possible to make a voice call to 911, but starting today, you might have another option. It took a bit of wrangling with wireless carriers, but the FCC's deadline for having the necessary wireless infrastructure in place is today. That doesn't mean everyone will be able to text 911 yet, but the pieces are in place.
With all the cool, fun things our mobile devices can do—from looking up movie info, to games, to social networking, to being amazing cameras—we can sometimes forget that these devices can be valuable and necessary tools. This new app, First Aid - American Red Cross, reminds us to use our phones for important, potentially life-saving purposes, as well as for fun.
There's really no reason everyone shouldn't have this app installed.
Back in December of 2011, the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant was canned by the CyanogenMod team due to a 911 emergency dialing bug that was considered crucial and unfixable:
If you have a Samsung Vibrant running CyanongenMod, then you probably want to flash a a stock-based ROM double-quick. Why? Because you can't call 911 while running CM on this particular device. Sure, you may not remember the last time you had to call 911 (if ever), but can you imagine what would happen if you were in a situation where you needed to call 911 and couldn't?
For this exact reason, the CM team has decided to drop support for the Vibrant.

Harry Markopolis presented to a high level (lawyer trained) official at the SEC a calculus type proof that Bernie Madoff's operation was fraudulent. The fellow at the SEC could not follow the argument. Inspectors were sent to Madoff's operation and they saw no problems. This complete inability to reason is not unique to the SEC, but it makes one wonder about the SEC's ability to charge nebulous crimes like price manipulation (See the recent CATO video mention below.) or insider trading. I like President Obama very much, but I am troubled by his government's use of mafia type shakedowns.
