DM Stith Heavy Ghost
(Asthmatic Kitty Records) Buy it from InsoundIt's easy to hear what made Sufjan Stevens want to bring DM Stith to Asthmatic Kitty Records, where he currently resides as the "Minister of Aesthetics". The fact that Stith is a kindred spirit should be obvious to anyone familiar with Stevens' work, and his use of hauntingly repetitive piano figures to set moods. Another fellow traveler is Thom Yorke, who explores similar harmonic territory and whose ethereal vocal style is clearly an influence. In fact, portions of this record pick up where We Suck Young Blood left off. Note the menacing piano chords and drum sounds of Isaac's Song, or the mournful falsetto and handclaps at the end of Pity Dance, and you'll hear what I mean. But this isn't some Stevens or Yorke ripoff at work; Stith is going further into the dark corners that those artists barely illuminated. This makes for unsettling listening, like the soundtrack to some unmade horror movie; a ghost story that plays as an allegory of a disintegrating mind. Sound like fun? I ain't gonna lie to you, it's not. I didn't detect a single cadence, plagal or otherwise, in any of its twelve songs. However, it is strangely evocative, as Stith anchors his dissonances in some quite lovely chording. I haven't sat down to analyze it but a lot of Heavy Ghost, particularly the backing vocals, plays like a Bartok quartet, with lines that flirt with the spaces between the whole tone scale. And like those quartets it will send the faint of hard rushing for the off button, in an attempt to remove the spotlight from our own sadness.
This is not radio-friendly music, and I wonder how many intrepid college radio djs will even go near this album. It's that disturbing. So word of mouth is going to have to get it into the right hands, and still its appeal will be necessarily limited. People just don't want to hear stuff that scares the shit out of them and who can blame them? I really like it and how often am I going to seek this out and willingly give it a spin? Not very. But there's a place for this music, music meant to chill the blood and make you shift nervously in your seat. And there's a place for artists willing to go this deep for the span of a whole album. It's interesting to speculate whether Stith is a basically happy guy who has just chosen to objectively linger in the long dark night of the soul for a bit, or a tortured individual, exorcising demons that may eventually swallow him whole. This record succeeds because that question remains open to us as the music fades away.
Heavy Ghost ends, or perhaps tries to end, on a hopeful note. Braid of Voices alternates between a major and minor key, with happy and sad vying for dominance, and it's like a Rorschach test trying to decide which side wins. The closer, Wig, only makes the choice more ambiguous – is the spirit of the artist finally at rest or is it stranded in a sea of despair? It's hard to tell, which is just as it should be. The listener brings just as much to this music as Stith does, which is the peculiar genius of his creation.
7 May, 2009 - 15:53 — Alan ShulmanComments for Heavy Ghost review
Heavy Ghost
Good review for what is my favourite album of the year so far along with Patrick Watson. I'd give it an 8.5-9 myself... It also contains my favourite song of the year so far by some distance ("Pity Dance"). Actually you're the first reviewer to mention "WSYB" and it is pretty reminiscent - and Mr Stith is very clearly a fan, too (http://some-beans.blogspot.com/2009/03/some-questions-2-dm-stith.html and you might also notice the first two lines of "Creekmouth" - the clearest node to "Let Down" ever?). It is a great album, and if the guy can find more pretty ways to fill the spaces in his songs (he uses the same tricks a tad too much) then he'll create a masterpiece.
Thanks for the link.
Thanks for the link. Looking at his influences and listening to the album I'm starting to grow concerned for his mental well being. You make some good points, particularly that a little prettiness would go a long way. This is probably what held me down to 8 rather than 9. As we all know, the numerical rating system is way too concrete too apply to something as mercurial as music, and hopefully my words were a better gauge of my enthusiasm.

Things are looking much brighter for collectibles company Master Replicas since we last saw them back at Toy Fair. A peek at their website - www.masterreplicas.com - reveals not only an amusing redesign, but the following announcement:
"Master Replicas, the iconic collectibles brand long associated with top quality prop replicas, is now under new control and management. Factory Entertainment has completed a deal to take over control of the Master Replicas Brand and IP from previous owner Hong Kong based Corgi International Ltd. (CIL). In addition to the brand and IP, Factory Entertainment will also control certain designs and tools used for products previously produced by Corgi under the Master Replicas brand name. Factory Entertainment, a new collectibles entity formed by industry veteran Darren Epstein, founder of Cards Inc. and a previous employee of Corgi, will focus its efforts on growing the Master Replicas brand with authentic, relevant prop collectibles with strong secondary market appeal.
Darren Epstein commented 'The brand continues to resonate as the market leader in its field and we believe that a new team of people can reboot the brand with a fresh approach and new licenses as a part of the Factory Entertainment family. We intend to announce new licenses for the Master Replicas brand as well as certain others that the company will release under the Factory Entertainment brand name. Our goal will be to synergize the two brands to bring collectible product to market with a broad appeal across a broad price range.' Factory Entertainment is a toy and collectibles company with headquarters in London and offices in California. The company designs, develops and markets licensed products under the Factory Entertainment and Master Replicas brand names."

Sustainable Fashion Designer, Consultant and Educator
The issues are great- from energy consumption, toxicity, waste and water pollution to population growth — that we must accelerate the creation of sustainable brands. Specifically, by engaging conscious consumers and offering them a more effective way to gain perspective. Exploring new ideas and identifying opportunities in any number of areas, from supply chain optimization and certification to sustainable design, category growth and positioning strategies.
By providing design direction to solve challenges related to developing sustainable products and adhering to transparency and traceability in the supply chain while showing companies how to responsibly improve environmental impact throughout the manufacturing lifecycle and expand productivity by enhancing working conditions.
Working in India with certified organic cotton and natural dyes in 1999 introduced me to the challenges of developing sustainable products. I met those challenges and successfully presented my product line at Biofach, in Germany. Working in product development with international non-profits that utilize local craft skills led me to understand the need to protect crafts on the verge of extinction. These non-profits include the United Nations SEWA project, which creates job security for women. My experiences in countries such as Mexico, China, India, US and Europe exposed me to diverse working conditions.
I successfully developed curriculums for courses on Ethical Fashion at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Parsons and PRATT. I continue to advocate for craftsmanship and endangered crafts, and to redefine terms such as "made-in" and "made-by".
I specialize in designing resilient solutions at the intersection of profitable innovation and meaningful cultural intervention.
I'm interested in being contacted about:
• Solving challenges related to developing sustainable products adhering to transparency and traceability in the supply chain
• Market research, design strategy, brand re-engineering and fieldwork
• Product development through non-profits that safeguard traditional techniques and craft skills
• Lecturing and speaking engagements

Harbour Island
Seaview Take-Away
At the foot of Government dock, a bright pink-painted shack in Dunmore Town is the first seafood stand visitors encounter as they arrive on the Harbour Island ferry from Eleuthera. The Seaview Takeaway is a renowned melting pot of locals and visitors (and some of the hungry resident feral chickens) who come for fried grouper burgers covered in tartar sauce alongside crispy, fresh conch fritters. The no-frills eatery serves them up in paper-lined baskets. It's hard to beat inexpensive authentic fare like this.
Insider Tip:
Rumor has it that Seaview also serves the meanest sloppy conch burger in the Bahamas.

Does any one know where I can get a good deal on some heirloom veggie seeds? |
Follow-Up Postings:

I just ordered some cheap heirloom and Open pollinated seeds. The name of the co. where I ordered them is heirloomveggieseeds.com I got 100 vegetables seed packets for $49 but if you are looking for pretty packaging this would not be the place to get them because their packaging is plain but for the price you can't beat it. They also don't let you pick which vegetables go into the mix but I was pleasantly surprised that it contained almost every vegetable seed you could think of. Before I found this place I used to order my seed from seedsofchange.com but their seed is not cheap. I have also gotten some decent deals on ebay.com Goodluck! |

Thanks chrisperry. I just ordered the 100 pk. online. Thanks for the tip. |

The below link has pretty good prices and megacheap shipping. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Seed Kingdom
I know this is a bit old, but I'll put my tip here regardless. Last fall, our community had an heirloom tomato festival. It cost $10 to get in, but there were free tastings of the most amazing tomatoes. Also, vendors sold varieties I had never seen before, usually offering a sample first. My wife and I tasted, then bought several tomatoes that we loved. I did seed saving on them, and my entire crop of 100 vines this year will be from that festival. I even have plenty of seeds left over if I want to use them next year. |
Fedco Seeds! www.fedcoseeds.com Fedco sells only non-GM seeds, and has loads of heirloom and open-pollinated varieties, and as they are a co-op and not a for-profit business, the prices are low. They also sell seeds you may have a hard time finding elsewhere, as endangered varieties. I'm lucky to live in Maine where Fedco is located, but they will ship anywhere, and you can browse the catalog online as well as do interactive searches online, and you can order online. Johnny's is good too, but Fedco is my first choice for non-GM, open-pollinated, heirloom, seed-saving seed, and for the promotion of the "self-sufficiency" and "local, not Biotech-giant" based lifestyle. Fedco does not do business with any biotech conglomerates, even when it means it cannot offer a popular variety. |

Great sites. I get my Heirloom seeds from Backyard Heirloom Seeds & Herbs. They sell in sets also and sell Culinary and Medicinal seed sets. They also include unusual/ rare heirloom varieties in their veggie sets like Romanesco Broccoli-it's really fun. Hope this helps. http://www.backyardheirloomseeds.net |

Collin Peterson on DrugsDemocrat/Farmer/Labor Representative (MN-7) | |
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): The drug crisis facing the US remains a top national security threat. This bill represents a new partnership with Mexico and Central American countries to face the immediate security threat of drug gangs, and help these neighbors build the capacity of their law enforcement agencies.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. MICHAEL McCAUL (R, TX-10): We need a strategy on this side of the border: a two-pronged Approach; a comprehensive strategy that deals not only with the Mexican side but with the US side. And for too long, our border sheriffs and our Border Patrol agents have been outmanned and outgunned. And if we are going to provide assistance to Mexico, it seems to me we ought to be providing assistance to our men and women on our side fighting this war every day.
Rep. TED POE (R, TX-2): I am concerned about drugs and violence on the border, but I am also concerned about corruption. In order to gain control of access corridors in the US, drug cartels are hiring hit men from an elite force in Mexico's military. This group is known as the "Zetas." Some of the Zetas are military deserters that may have been trained in the US. $1 billion in this bill would go to Mexico. And Mexico in its arrogance objects to any conditions we want to put on this money. The administration can offer us no assurance that our equipment and training won't be used against us and neither can Mexico.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2006 NORML scores as follows:
National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Law's mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal of marijuana prohibition so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults is no longer subject to penalty.
NORML is a nonprofit, public-interest lobby that for more than 30 years has provided a voice for those Americans who oppose marijuana prohibition. We represent the interests of the tens of millions of Americans who smoke marijuana responsibly and believe the recreational and medicinal use of marijuana should no longer be a crime.
NORML supports the removal of all criminal penalties for the private possession & responsible use of marijuana by adults, including the cultivation for personal use, and the casual nonprofit transfers of small amounts. This model is called "decriminalization."
NORML additionally supports the development of a legally controlled market for marijuana, where consumers could purchase it from a safe, legal and regulated source. This model is referred to as "legalization."
NORML believes that marijuana smoking is not for kids and should only be used responsibly by adults. As with alcohol consumption, it must never be an excuse for misconduct or other bad behavior. Driving or operating heavy equipment while impaired from marijuana should be prohibited.
NORML strongly supports the right of patients to use marijuana as a medicine when their physician recommends it to relieve pain and suffering.
Lastly, NORML supports the right of farmers to commercially cultivate hemp for industrial purposes, such as food and fiber production.
Sponsor's Remarks:
Rep. PAUL: Nine States allow industrial hemp production or research in accord with State laws. However, Federal law is standing in the way of farmers in these States growing what may be a very profitable crop. Because of current Federal law, all hemp included in products sold in the US must be imported instead of being grown by American farmers. Since 1970, the federal Controlled Substances Act's inclusion of industrial hemp in the "schedule one"
definition of marijuana has prohibited American farmers from growing industrial hemp despite the fact that industrial hemp has such a low content of THC (the psychoactive chemical in the related marijuana plant) that nobody can be psychologically affected by consuming hemp.
The US is the only industrialized nation that prohibits industrial hemp cultivation. Industrial hemp is a crop that was grown legally throughout the US for most of our Nation's history. In fact, during World War II, the Federal Government actively encouraged American farmers to grow industrial hemp to help the war effort. It is unfortunate that the Federal Government has stood in the way of American farmers competing in the global industrial hemp market. Indeed, the founders of our Nation, some of whom grew hemp, would surely find that federal restrictions on farmers growing a safe and profitable crop on their own land are inconsistent with the constitutional guarantee of a limited Government.

Home > Candy Cane Crafts
Children of all ages absolutely adore the candy cane. This confection is one of the truest signs that Christmas is just around the corner. The difference with candy canes today is they are appealing to almost everyone, since peppermint is no longer the only flavor they can be found in. With deep red cinnamon, bright pink cherry, white and green spearmint, dark blue berry, and many more varieties, the candy cane is a treat anyone can eat.
Candy canes don't have to just be for eating, though. Oftentimes we have more of these sweets than we can use during the whole year! So, why not use them in craft projects? There are very simple craft projects that you can make with these curved sticks that even the youngest of children can do!
This craft is a favorite with children. It doesn't matter how old your child is – this craft will be age-appropriate. Even a two year old, with a bit of help, will have a grand time making their very own reindeer out of a candy cane.
What you will need:
• Candy Canes (All red and white or offer a wide variety of colors) • Hot Glue Gun or White School Glue • Various Colored Pom-poms • Brown Pipe Cleaners • Googly Eyes • Christmas Colored Ribbon (optional) • Mini Bell (optional)
Step One: Have the children each pick a candy cane. (If you are offering a wide variety of colors, it is best if you have enough of each color for everyone. When the first child picks their color, depending on the age of your group, the rest may decide that is the color they want, too. It is best to have enough that it is okay when this occurs.)
Step Two: Give each child one long, brown pipe cleaner. Have them wrap it around the crook of the candy cane so that both sides are equal. Twist the pipe cleaner tightly above the top of the cane.
Step Three: Have the children put just a touch of glue under the twisted pipe cleaner.
Step Four: Let the kids bend the pipe cleaner into "antlers".
Many kids will bend their pipe cleaner once, while others will make elaborate shapes for their antlers. Anything the child does is okay! Step Five: Have the kids put a dot of glue on a googly eye. Stick to the side of the candy cane, just under the antlers. Do a second eye on the other side of the candy cane. These should be toward the shorter side of the candy cane, not the long stick side.
Step Six: Allow the children to pick out a pom-pom. Have them put a dot of glue on it. (The children can choose any color they like, with black and red being the most common choices. As with the candy canes, make sure you have enough of each color for all the children doing the craft.) Stick the pom-pom at the end of the shorter side of the candy cane for the nose.
Set aside and allow the craft to dry completely. Once dry, you will have your very own candy cane reindeer!
Optional steps:
Step Seven: Take a piece of ribbon and tie it behind the antlers. Create a loop of ribbon for hanging the reindeer on your Christmas tree.
Step Eight: Take a piece of ribbon and tie a bow around the reindeer's neck.
Step Nine: On a piece of ribbon, tie a mini bell around the reindeer's neck.

If you live in a older home you've probably have never heard the term "replacement windows" before, let alone "vinyl windows".
Wikipedia describes a Replacement Window as "A replacement window is a window that is installed in an existing window opening as replacement of the existing window. Old weather beaten windows deteriorate and become loose and drafty. They need replacement not only to improve the appearance of the house but also to take advantage of modern energy efficient windows that bring about an overall improvement of the ambiance of the house at low recurring cost of heating and cooling."

Johnny Golf? Manziel Shows Off Golf Game on Instagram
Perhaps a few Pro-Am tournaments are in the cards for Johnny Manziel once he gets drafted into the NFL a few weeks from now.
The former Heisman Trophy winner and Texas A&M quarterback showed off an impressive golf swing on Instagram this weekend. Outfitted in a Tiger Woods hat and Nike Lunar Control 2s (Of course), Manziel hit a straight shot right down the fairway that even Tiger would be impressed by. Watch out Tony Romo, there's a new challenger for the best golfing quarterback in the NFL.

I just bought a Brassidium Shooting Star Black Gold orchid. I am seeing conflicting information on the internet about how much light it needs to grow and bloom. Could I put it in a south window for the winter or would that be too much light for it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Where has everyone gone? At latitude 34 South Brassidium Shooting Star 'Black Gold' would be grown high up near the shade-cloth getting all day sun filtered by 50% shade-cloth winter and two layers 50% shade-cloth summer. Sorry, thats the best i can do but note that some of the Brassia species need a lot of light to flower. |

Here in Michigan my brassia crosses can take full south winter sun (when we get sun at all)- but I think it may be a bit much at your latitude. Maybe set them a bit back from the window, or provide a bit of cover with shade cloth as suggested by Arthur. |
I have it about 2 feet from my south-facing sliding glass door, but it is behind one row of tall plants. I'll see how it goes for a couple of weeks, then creep it closer to the window, watching the leaves for burn. Does that sound good? |

Bijou, 9 weeks old at the time this photo was taken in September, belongs to Denny Schillings, of Frankfort. Called a Shichon, a cross between a bichon frise and a Shih Tzu, Bijou's name means "jewel" in French. She was obtained from Animal Rescue Fund in Amelia, Ohio. "We think she looks like one of the Ewok characters from 'Star Wars,' " Schillings said.

text: Sofia Coppola has never directed a historical period drama before, but her biopic ''Marie-Antoinette'' should be a piece of cake. After all, the casting will be something of a family affair. Kirsten Dunst, whom Coppola killed off in her directing debut, ''The Virgin Suicides,'' will lose her head as the guillotined queen. Playing France's King Louis XVI, Marie's husband, will be Coppola's cousin, ''Rushmore'''s Jason Schwartzman. ''I've always loved the story of Marie-Antoinette and the decadence of Versailles on the brink of revolution,'' Coppola said in a statement, "and the fact she was just a teenager when circumstances forced her to play a significant role in history.'' The Oscar-winning ''Lost in Translation'' screenwriter will write and direct the film, which will shoot in France next February.

Lucia Raimondi of Villa Monteleone alerted us to today's article in the Washington Post (click here) devoted to Valpolicella -- the wines and the wine-tourist destination. The reporter's time with Lucia is most favorably presented at the beginning of the piece, so we are all delighted with the line inches her winery received.
A view of the grounds at Villa Monteleone
The entire story is really a love letter to a beautiful area that has suffered for decades under the onus of -- how shall I say this diplomatically -- Bollaism. Bolla is, as we all know, the huge producer that popularized, and watered down disastrously, all the hallowed Veronese names back in the '70s and '80s. Valpolicella. Soave. Bardolino. All those production areas became synonymous in America with the inferior product Bolla pumped out by the millions of cases.
It has taken years of hard work by individual producers like Lucia at Villa Monteleone, and our Soave producer, I Stefanini, to begin to reverse these impressions. The consorzi (trade associations) have labored hard as well, and I think their brand-reclamation efforts have been moderately effective.
But the proof, always, is the wine in the glass.
Cin cin, Lucia!

We did a GWN message on it, and got a lot of shit on that back.

Though I understand your opinion on this, my role in this case was clearly pretty much done after "it".

But, to try and get some of the positive stuff out of your email, I consider posting something to -dev or -core. However, I'm all but motivated to do this, as well as clueless how to put it down.

Top 10 semi-nude film scenes
Nudity is great (okay, it's totally awesome), but sometimes the old adage is true: you really can get too much of a good thing. Oftentimes a film scene is enhanced by suggesting rather than showing, hinting rather than hammering. These ten notable sequences cut back on the graphic imagery for different reasons — to play a particularly lewd joke, to suggest the frustration of the characters, or to sneak around a pesky MPAA rating — but they all have one thing in common. They prove that sometimes less really is more.

Easy on the Planet and Your Wallet
NEW YORK (MainStreet) There's a common misperception that living sustainably is a luxury reserved for the rich. It's not difficult to see why. In many parts of the country, organic products cost significantly more than their conventional counterparts – sometimes by two or three times.
But believe it or not, some sustainable living actions can actually save you money, as well as improve your quality of life. Those savings can then be applied to more expensive eco-luxuries, like fair trade coffee and organic cotton t-shirts. Here are ten tips to get you started.

West Coast Sea Grant Fellowship
Implementing the West Coast Regional Research and Information Report and Plan: A Collaborative Approach with the West Coast Governors' Agreement on Ocean Health
Funding Opportunity Description
The four West Coast Sea Grant programs in Washington, Oregon, and California will sponsor four West Coast Sea Grant Fellows to collaboratively support implementation of common elements of the West Coast Governors' Agreement on Ocean Health (WCGA) and the Sea Grant West Coast Regional Research and Information Needs Report. Each Fellow will be placed for two years in a state or federal agency that is directly involved in implementation of the WCGA Action Plan. The fellowship program is intended to enhance regional coordination and the implementation of the WCGA Action Plan. Fellows will each form a plan for at least one of the regional research priorities established by the WCGA Executive Committee. They will also provide assistance to and share their academic expertise with regional Action Coordination Teams regarding high priority research areas.
In September 2006, the three West Coast governors signed the WCGA, a groundbreaking agreement to coordinate ocean and coastal resource management efforts along the entire coast. An action plan to implement the agreement was released in July 2008, and Action Coordination Teams (ACTs) were established to provide region-wide planning and facilitation to implement the Action Plan agenda. The WCGA Action Plan and descriptions of ACTs are available at www.westcoastoceans.gov.
Sea Grant programs in Washington, Oregon, and California began working together in 2006 to identify and begin focusing resources on priority West Coast regional research and information needs to support marine science and ocean management on an ecosystem level. The resulting document, released in 2009, is based on over 5,000 comments from nearly 1,000 stakeholders and is accompanied by a publicly available database where each public comment is linked to research topics and locations. The Report and database are available at http://seagrant.oregonstate.edu/research/RegionalPlanning/.
Any individual, regardless of citizenship, who is a student in good standing on May 1, 2010, in a marine-related graduate or professional program at a U.S.-accredited institution of higher education in California, Oregon or Washington. Preference will be given to students who will complete their graduate programs before the start date of the Fellowship and who have demonstrated skills and experience in marine or aquatic-related science or policy.
Length of Assignment
The assignment is two years in length, is not renewable, and will begin February 1, 2011 and end January 31, 2013.
The award amount is $37,500 annually for two years. The award will cover: 1) the costs of a monthly stipend for living expenses ($2,833/mo); 2) fellowship-related travel; 3) mandatory health insurance; and 4) other fellowship related activities. Host offices may also contribute funds for travel and fellowship activities as available.
Required Application Components
- Personal and academic curriculum vitae or résumé (not to exceed two pages using 12 pt. font, 1 inch margins).
- A personal education and career goal statement that emphasizes the applicant's abilities and discusses the applicant's goals with respect to the Fellowship and further career development (1000 words or less, 12 pt. font). Placement preference in a particular state may be stated, but is not required.

- Finalists will be selected and all candidates will be notified the week of November 1, 2010.
- Interviews with finalists will take place during the weeks of November 8 and November 15, 2010
- Four Fellows will be selected and all finalists will be notified by December 1.
- Fellows will participate in a placement workshop during the first half of December. The workshop will take place at a central location on the West Coast, and will include interviews with potential hosts.
- Fellows will begin work on February 1, 2011.
Selection Process
A Selection Panel will identify six to eight finalists based on evaluation scores, but may consider other selection factors including academic discipline and expertise and geographic balance.
The eight-person Selection Panel will be comprised of a representative from each of the West Coast Sea Grant Programs and representatives named by the WCGA Executive Committee. Each finalist will be interviewed by the Selection Panel. Finalists will be required to travel to the nearest Sea Grant office for the interview or participate by video conference. Of those interviewed, four Fellows will be selected to attend a placement workshop, based on their applications and interviews.
The Panel will evaluate each application based on the following weighted criteria:
- Personal and career goal statement (35%)
- Letters of recommendation (20%)
- Academic performance (15%)
- Additional qualifications and relevant experience, including diversity of education, marine science or policy related experience, interpersonal and communication skills, honors and awards and extracurricular activities (30%)
Placement (subject to change)
The Fellows will be invited to participate in a workshop to match hosts with Fellows. Each of the selected hosts will send the Fellow's prospective supervisor or mentor to the placement workshop. The workshop will include an orientation program, proposal presentations by project hosts, Fellow presentations, Fellow and host interviews, and Fellow matching. No contact between prospective hosts and Fellows should be made before the placement workshop. Of the four Fellows, at least one will be placed in each state in an office associated with the WCGA. Travel support for the Fellows to attend placement workshop will be provided by the West Coast Sea Grant programs.
Potential Hosts (subject to change)
The following are potential hosts and host locations for the four fellows. Fellows may express interest in one of these locations, but decisions will occur at a placement workshop that will occur in early December. Host offices will provide all the tools needed for the Fellow to complete his or her work including a computer workstation and access to phone, internet, and printers. Each Fellow will be assigned to a sponsoring Sea Grant program, which will administer the award and provide additional mentorship as needed.

Overarching Fellowship Description
The four WCGA Sea Grant fellows will support the development of plans for regional research priorities and support the implementation of the work plans developed by the 10 Action Coordination Teams (ACTs) by integrating relevant research and information to contribute the best science available to ACT progress.
Essential job functions include the following:
- Develop plans for addressing the top regional research questions and priorities established by the four West Coast Sea Grant Programs and the WCGA Executive Committee (in progress). This work will require compiling information on existing research in the region, examining major research gaps, and identifying focused scientific questions to address research gaps. The four Sea Grant fellows will work together to create a common template and timeline for this work.
- Assist with connecting ACTs to each other, with attention to specific ACTs based on the fellow's assigned project area (see project descriptions below).
- Assist ACTs and the WCGA Executive Committee with accessing, considering, and utilizing existing data, research, and information for accomplishing work plan tasks.
- Communicate ACT progress with the WCGA Coordinator to effectively capture and track ACT accomplishments.
- Coordinate with the Ocean Awareness and Literacy ACT to generate relevant outreach and enhance WCGA visibility.
- Assist ACT Chairs and Points of Contact (POCs) with liaising between ACT members and the WCGA Executive Committee.
Sea Grant's cross-cutting themes of climate change, ocean education and environmental literacy, and access to information and data align with WCGA priorities and Action Team objectives. Fellows will incorporate these factors into their work and coordinate with each other, regardless of placement and specific project assignment (described below).
Specific Project Descriptions
The following six areas are topic-specific, ACT-related efforts that will be conducted at the host locations. Fellows may express interest in one of these specific projects but placement will not occur until the placement workshop in early December. Note that the Ocean Awareness and Literacy ACT is anticipated to connect to each of the other nine ACTs.
- Habitat and Ecosystem Health
Connections: Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA), Climate Change, Seafloor Mapping, and Spartina Eradication ACTs; as well as Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning and data coordination efforts - Climate Change
Connections: Climate Change, Sediment, Seafloor Mapping, and Spartina Eradication ACTs - Water Quality
Connections: Polluted Runoff, Marine Debris, IEA, and Spartina Eradication ACTs - Fisheries
Connections: IEA and Sustainable Coastal Communities ACTs - Vitality of Coastal Communities
Connections: Sustainable Coastal Communities, Marine Debris, and Sediment ACTs - Emerging Issues
Connections: Renewable Ocean Energy, Seafloor Mapping, and Sustainable Coastal Communities ACTs; as well as issues such as Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning and Aquaculture
Reporting Requirements
Fellows will work under the administrative and technical direction of the host supervisor/mentor, and will also be responsible for quarterly and annual reporting to the sponsoring Sea Grant program. Further guidance will be provided when the fellowships commence.

Hi all, new to this forum. can't find anything when I google about this - can I bring some worms to my family in Chicago (my bins are bursting with worms) via flight (from CA)? Can they go through the scanners and be okay, or in my luggage? |

That would be interesting to find out... somehow I think that the TSA would frown on worms in your luggage, but maybe there is a suitable container that would allow you to safely transport the worms. |
Apparently yes. BTW for google searches (from someone who's spend WAY too much time) you can search in the form of a question. Let the google engine, which is amazing, do the work. "redworms on a plane" got the below hit. Then again, remember it's up to the security people once you hit the checkpoint. All it takes is one assh.... http://texasredworms.com/2010/11/03/tsa-and-flying-w-redworms/ |
People mail them all the time, so I suppose many of those worms fly. I actually don't see a problem. If you have them in a plastic bag in your carry on, TSA probably won't even notice them unless you mention it. They aren't the sort of thing they are looking for: weapons, metal, liquids, aerosols, inflammables. |

Nina Persson – Her favourite game
By Karl Batterbee | Photos: Jörgen Ringstrand
Scan Magazine caught up with Sweden's Nina Persson as she prepares for the release of her very first solo album this month, and asked why it has taken so long, what she has come up with after all this time, whether or not she will ever make music with The Cardigans again, and what impact that band had on Scandinavia's success as a music export.
As the unmistakable face and inimitable voice of The Cardigans, Nina Persson took a stronghold on pop music and its fans all over the world throughout the '90s and into this century. American teenage years were soundtracked by Lovefool, and an even wider demographic fell for the undeniable charms of songs like My Favourite Game and Erase & Rewind. Their artistry gained more credibility, as if it were needed, in later years with For What It's Worth and I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer, and then, when the band split, we all inevitably went into waiting for the frontwoman's solo album. Fast-forward to February 2014, and that solo album has finally arrived: Animal Heart.
Not scared of it anymore
What is unusual about this record is just how long it has taken for it to be made. The last time The Cardigans released any music was almost a decade ago, in 2005, and when they went on a break, many expected the first Nina Persson album to come out immediately. Instead, she got involved in another project: A Camp. So why did we have to wait so long for a Nina Persson solo album?
"It was not until this point that I thought: wait, why not? But I was still so resistant to it before for some reason," says the singer. Timing has also played a part – the stage at which Nina finds herself in her life. "For me it's a good way to work right now, because I live in New York, away from my usual collaborators. I have a kid, and I need to be so meticulous about the planning and everything, so it just works well to be operating on my own for a while. I'm very flexible this way, and I'm also the only one who has to suffer the consequences if I turn things down or if something doesn't work properly. So there were a lot of things that just made it seem like the right time. And also, I just wasn't scared of it anymore."
The hardest thing about going solo after being in a band for so long has, in Persson's experience, also been the best: "The best thing is that I get to make all the decisions, and the hardest thing is that I have to make all the decisions. With a band and with all the decisions that need to be made, there are more people taking on the load. But then it's often a big slog that's hard to navigate – long and complicated email chains and all that. And now it's really just me, so it's a lighter feeling. But I do sometimes miss the companionship too."
Honouring the singer
For Animal Heart, Persson has written everything with husband Nathan Larson (A Camp, Shudder To Think) and Eric D. Johnson (formerly of The Shins and Fruit Bats), but with a new approach: no lingering in studios and no super producers. Instead, they "hung around at the house in Harlem and played the songs with just a drum machine, a guitar and piano." She speaks confidently about her role in writing songs for herself. "Both with the Cardigans and A Camp, I have done everything with very driven, career-oriented musicians, but now I wanted to put my own instrument first. Honour the singer. In my work, I have also understood that pop music is lodged deeper in me than I previously wanted to admit," she says. "I have forced myself to follow my instincts with this album. I have simply no time to dwell on things anymore, something I did a lot of before."
The jazzy, playful pop melodies she made into an art form with The Cardigans are still there, but at the same time, she takes a couple of clear steps forward in her development with tracks that land somewhere between the melancholy of A Camp and a sort of blue-eyed soul genre. Several tracks also contain soundscapes reminiscent of one of Persson's first musical roots: '80s pop. "There are some elements that are quite new and quite different to anything I've done before. One is that I brought in a sound and a style that is a little bit more modern. It's much more keyboard-based than before, and I've used a lot more synthesisers. It's not as woody and guitar-driven. And perhaps it doesn't sound as much like a traditional band, as The Cardigans was."
Scandinavian music is a massive export, now more so than ever. But does the singer feel that she helped shape the region's reputation for making good pop music, as a member of The Cardigans? Her response is un-Swedish in all its pride: "I actually think so, because before we blew up, the big acts that came from Sweden – and this is with all respect, because I'm very much a fan – were ABBA and Ace of Base, and music that was often perceived as being superficial and commercial. I think what we did is that we tried to get that sort of recognition with a slightly different kind of music. ABBA gave a lot of confidence to Swedish musicians though, that not all music out there needs to be from an Anglo-speaking country. And I think that we probably helped give courage to Swedish musicians too, that more Swedish music and not necessarily radio hits could make it."
More likely now than it has been
The big question that springs to mind when speaking of The Cardigans' legacy is of course: will they ever make another album together? "To say if I foresee it or not is difficult. But we are at the point now where we are playing a lot together, and we're having such a good time and loving it. And we're more excited about the thought than we've been in a long time, so it's definitely more likely than it has been. We do talk about it; it's just really down to the logistics of it. I live here, the other guys live in Sweden. So we would just have to figure out how and where and when. But we do have a lot of fantasies about it. I just spoke to Bengt (Lagerberg – the drummer) the other day on the phone and we were like, 'I wonder what it would sound like!' So yes, we're curious about it."
So we had to wait for a Nina Persson album. But by the sounds of it, The Cardigans fans might not have to wait quite as long…
Nina Persson's solo album, Animal Heart, is out on 11 February. Nina is touring Scandinavia and northern Europe throughout February and coming to Scala in London on 5 March.

Latest Catania Transfer Rumours
Share your thoughts
Page 1 of 3
Catania have picked up 23 points in their last 11 Serie A match-days - as many as Juventus.
Oh and as you probably know Koke has scored his first goal in his first game as starter for Catania and in his first shot in the Serie A.
Oh and as you probably know Koke has scored his first goal in his first game as starter for Catania and in his first shot in the Serie A.
So overall, not what we expected but still a solid result this year. Rumor is that we will be selling all over the place this year. I hope that means we're buying as well. Forza Catania!

25 things you never knew about Brandon Forrester, bartender at the Skylark Lounge
As Westword's Ask the Bartender columnist, I've talked with many bartenders for Cafe Society's "Behind the Bar" series, posing numerous questions to Denver's top bartenders...and often receiving the same answers: "I love chartreuse," or "I'm really into smoked cocktails/barrel aging/bottled cocktails."
See also: A bartender by any other name...is still a bartender.
Some time ago, a Facebook friend posted 25 things about himself that most people weren't aware of -- and then he tagged me in the post, at which point I was supposed to do the same: rattle off 25 little-known facts about myself and ask someone else to follow suit. Instead, I'm asking Denver's bartenders to get up and close with Westword readers and share 25 lesser known tidbits about themselves -- and then name the next bartender that I should interview.
The Skylark Lounge is a Denver landmark, originally opening in 1943 and surviving a location change, which is a difficult task indeed. But it's survived because it's a bar that excels in the basics: take care of your people, and show them a good time. Bartender Brandon Forrester, who simply goes by "Forrester," is the standard-bearer of this simple philosophy. He confidently mans his bar without ego or pretense, keeping his customers happy, entertained and safe. He's served me more than a few drinks over the past few years, both at Skylark and at My Brother's Bar, and in my opinion, he's one of the best bartenders in the business.
In this week's installment of "25 that you never knew," Forrester embraces his true hillbilly roots, admits that carnivals are creepy, and even issues an apology to his ex-girlfriends.

When: 01/23/2014, 5:45 pm - 7:30 pm
Location: Phyllis Davis Room
An info session will be held 5:45-7:30 p.m. in the Phyllis Davis Room at 909 Decker Dr.
The Center for Workforce and Community Development at Lee College will host an information session Thursday, Jan. 23, to help potential students learn how to quickly prepare for a successful career in the booming commercial and industrial construction industry — from electrical positions, to jobs in pipefitting, rigging and beyond.
In addition to presentations about career awareness and enrollment and registration requirements for upcoming non-credit courses, attendees will also be introduced to The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) certification process.
Having the NCCER certification allows craftsmen and craftswomen to demonstrate they are fully qualified to meet the expectations of employers in the industrial market, said Tonya Britton, director of Corporate Services for the workforce center. That means ensuring high productivity, quality and safety during construction projects.
"A poorly trained workforce will impede a project's progress, lead to poor quality and, most importantly, put workers and others on and off of the job site in danger — that's a risk that employers don't want to take," Britton said. "They are demanding proof of competency, and the NCCER credential is a commonly accepted way for workers in our region to show that they have the knowledge and skills to do the job."
The workforce center will offer the commercial and industrial construction programs in a fast-track format, giving students the opportunity to take classes at night and on the weekends when it is often more convenient.
"We are aware of the need that workers have to become employable as soon as possible," Britton said. "Our ultimate goals are to help companies find people, and to help people get good-paying jobs that can lead to satisfying careers."
For more information about the information session, contact the workforce center at 281.425.6311 or email@example.com.
