César Franck (1822–1890), Belgian-born and French-domiciled, was one of the most remarkable composers of the 19th century. A number of his works are commonly recorded — such as his Symphony in D Minor, Symphonic Variations, Violin Sonata, and the ever popular Panis Angelicus — yet 38 years have elapsed since a biography of him, as distinct from a book-length study of specific pieces by him, appeared in English.
Now with César Franck: His Life and Times, R. J. Stove fills this gap in the history of late 19th-century classical music with a full-length study of the man and his output. Drawing on sources never before cited in English, Stove paints a far more detailed picture of this great musician and deeply loved man, whose influence in both his native and his adopted lands was exceptional. Stove carefully delves into intimate matters of Franck's life, including his resilience in the face of his exploitation as a child prodigy, his development from a shy and harassed piano teacher into one of the most sought-after luminaries of Paris's Conservatoire, and the truth behind Franck's alleged affair with one of his students.
Throughout his study, Stove interweaves panoramic surveys of the political and social scene in Belgium and France, contextualizing Franck's achievements in his historical milieu, from his rise as a recognized master of the organ to his dealings with significant composers such as Liszt, Gounod, Saint-Saëns, Massenet, Chabrier, Mendelssohn, and others. César Franck: His Life and Times is an engagingly written biography sure to interest classical music listeners of all stripes.
R. J. (Robert) Stove, editor of Organ Australia since 2011, is a Melbourne-based organist who has publicly performed several of Franck's pieces. A member of the Musicological Society of Australia, he is also the author of articles on a variety of musical topics, which have seen publication in Modern Age, The University Bookman, The New Criterion, Musicology Australia, Britain's Musical Times, and other periodicals.
The Unsleeping Eye: Secret Police and Their Victims
Please order from The Unsleeping Eye page at Amazon.com.
From EncounterBooks.com:
The terms "Gestapo" and "KGB" have taken on an ominous meaning in every modern language, and the apparatus behind them inspires universal terror. But while many there are many books about espionage, until now very little has been written about the history of secret policing which played such a grim role in the history of totalitarian movements of the 20th century.
Robert J. Stove begins his story of the evolution of secret police into a central institution of modern life with Sir Francis Walsingham, spymaster to Elizabeth I of England who created a network of secret agents and assassins to subvert the Queen's Catholic opponents. He ends it with a fascinating portrait of J. Edgar Hoover whose surveillance of "enemies within" tested American democracy.
At the heart of The Unsleeping Eye is a provocative narrative about the role of the secret police in the modern totalitarian state. Joseph Fouché, Napoleon's minister of police, made surveillance and informing into an art form ("Where there are three," Fouché once said, "I always have one listening") and coupled this surveillance with propaganda techniques that made it doubly effective. Stove describes the development of domestic surveillance in Russia, from the time of Ivan the Terrible, to its final refinement under Stalin, who brought Lenin's ideal of "organized terror" to perfection in collaboration with his brutal head of secret police, Lavrenti Beria. ("You bring me the man," Beria once said chillingly, "and I'll find you the crime.") He also shows how the Gestapo and other police organizations led by demented individuals like Heinrich Himmler defined the essence of Nazism, particularly in his deluded notion that "the members of the Gestapo are men with human kindness, human hearts, and absolute rightness."
The inside story of the secret policemen who defined the state of their art, The Unsleeping Eye takes us inside at the darkest corners of government. It is a story filled character and anecdote that leaves us wondering about the brave new worlds of manipulation and terror that may await us.

From ISI Books:
R. J. Stove's A Student's Guide to Music History is a concise account, written for the intelligent lay reader, of classical music's development from the early Middle Ages onwards. Beginning with a discussion of Hildegard von Bingen, a twelfth-century German nun and composer, and the origins of plainchant, Stove's narrative recounts the rise (and ever-increasing complexity) of harmony during the medieval world, the differences between secular and sacred music, the glories of the contrapuntal style, and the origins of opera. Stove then relates the achievements of the high baroque period, the very different idioms that prevailed during the late eighteenth century, and the emergence of Romanticism, with its emphasis upon the artist-hero. With the late nineteenth century came a growing emphasis on musical patriotism, writes Stove, especially in Spain, Hungary, Russia, Bohemia, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and the United States. A final section discusses the trends that have characterized music since 1945.
Stove's guide also singles out eminent composers for special coverage, including Palestrina, Monteverdi, Handel, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Wagner, Verdi, Brahms, Debussy, Richard Strauss, Sibelius, and Messiaen. As a brief orientation to the history and contours of classical music, A Student's Guide to Music History is an unparalleled resource.

"Had many edits: changed dinner to luncheon, additional wording on front with specifics about event on back. Customer service was a pleasure to work with; knowledgeable, helpful & patient. Wish all customer service experiences were as pleasant as what I encounterd at Wedding Paper Divas."
"Simple design and great quality. WPD was excellent to work with--called them twice to have questions answered and they have superb customer service. Had "Dress for a casual event" printed on the back, and since the dinner is in a city, had parking instructions printed on back also. Sending them out today!! I ordered an extra packet of envelopes--just in case--and I'm glad I did. Looking forward to how the on-line reply will work for us."
"Everything about this purchase was excellent! The idea, design, quality and delivery time. I would highly recommend this product. Tons of compliments!"
"This card was so beautiful! We loved how we could change the shape of the card. I wanted to add an image of a sunflower (our theme) to the back. The only image I had had a dark black box around it. The personal graphic designer cropped out the flower and blended it into the chalk board background perfectly. The time it took to order to the time I saw my first proof to the time I saw the revised proof was less than 48 hours and final delivery of the finished product was delivered to me in a week (standard) from the time I initially placed the order. Love these invites!"
"I needed the invitations on short notice, and these were delivered as promised. Quality was very good and ordering process was simple. Will use this site again!"

My sister was moving from Michigan to Wisconsin, and at the last minute we decided to dig out her Japanese Maple and bring it back to Wisconsin with us. We really did not take any precautions, and neither of us know very much about JM. Ive since read that you have to be EXTREMELY careful not to disrupt the root ball, dont bang it around, dont drop it in the new hole, etc... To be honest, this little guy did not get the royal treatment. It was dug up, as best we could (it was amongst blanket juniper so it was difficult to dig up), put very uncerimoniously into a bucket, transported across the states in the back of an enclosed snowmobile trailer, and is now in that same bucket (2 days later) waiting for me to take care of it. I wont be able to plant it where I want to, until next spring. I planned on planting it in a pot and overwintering it indoors and then transplanting into my yard next spring. But from what I read, it sounds like it's already doomed because of it's "traumatic" travels. Does it still stand a chance? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 2, 12 at 15:25
Not the best treatment for a JM to be sure but I highly doubt it is doomed. These plants can be a lot more resilient than you'd expect. As far as care now is concerned, I'd recommend planting in the ground over anything else. This is going to afford it the best chance of recovery. If this is NOT possible, you can pot it up using a very good quality potting soil (i.e. NOT Miracle Gro) but you don't want to keep it indoors for the winter. It needs a period of dormancy. If you can, sink the container into the ground. If not, an unheated, attached garage or a very cool basement could work. Keep temperatures below 45F - right around 35-40F is ideal. Check periodically for water - it won't need much. Just keep the soil barely moist to the touch. |
Not inside, no. I pot mine in big pots with lots of room for them to potentially spread out. Then I bury the pot in the ground. I've done this with over 100 maples for about 6 years now. Slowly, after I can determine their sun tolerance, I put them actually in the ground. If you must pot it for the winter, put it someplace where the pot won't freeze. No air underneath, nor too much water to freeze the roots. Up there, it only takes a few inches to protect it. I never understand why people decide something is so fragile. I've dug up and moved peonies, all kinds of trees & shrubs, heuchera and hosta, and even have hellabores in unGodly full sun. Go figure. |

Beyond the Music
A new book finds some former Hub stars in curious places. Sure, everyone knows how things turned out for Aerosmith, but what about the local musicians for whom fame was fleeting? For his new book, The Sound of Our Town, music writer Brett Milano tracked down decades' worth of ex-rockers—and discovered that their lives went in one of three directions.
1. The Lifer
Ilanga Scott
Vocals; The G-Clefs
Then: With their 1956 song "Ka-Ding-Dong," the G-Clefs were the first Boston group to climb the national pop charts. They also shared a stage with Chuck Berry.
Now: Living in Roxbury and still jamming with the G-Clefs (at age 67, he's the youngest). He also teaches dance in Jamaica Plain, and performs in the annual production of Urban Nutcracker.
2. The Straight Man
Gene Maltais
Vocals, Guitar
Then: Maltais was rowdy in the 1950s, singing songs like "Gangwar" (first line: "Splash of blood and thunder, man are we gonna fight"). He eventually hitchhiked the country, seeking fame.
Now: Living in Florida, after working as a New Hampshire policeman. His music career derailed in 1958, when his label, Decca, ditched him in favor of Buddy Holly.
3. The Washout
Myles Connor
Vocals; Myles and the Wild Ones
Then: He had a brief hit with the single "Hey Little School Girl," and in the 1960s opened for Sha Na Na. With his pet alligator, he was one of rock's early eccentrics.
Now: Connor's made trips to prison for drugs and theft, and was even suspected of masterminding from behind bars the notorious 1990 heist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (he denies it).

EEK-A-MOUSE By Jill Ettinger Eek-a-Speeka Greensleeves
The reggae pantheon would be a lot poorer without the flamboyant perspective of the legendary dancehall don Eek-a-Mouse. Part comedian, part commentator, Eek-a-Mouse returns from a long hiatus with Eek-a-Speeka. Mouse tries to recapture his '80s glory with a banging set of potential hits produced by Blacka Dread, mixed at Tuff Gong studios and boasting some of reggae's finest supporting musicians. The opening "Physically Critically" gets political, while the clean beats of the blatant pro-marijuana anthem "I Love Weed" is a prime example of straight reggae that needs no help from drum 'n' bass, garage or hip-hop fusion to get your body moving. Mouse hasn?Jt been this on-point since his classic 1982 set Wa-Do-Dem. There simply isn't a bad track on this record: "Every Posse" haunts long into "Keep Accusing Me" and the 2004 version of "Wa-Do-Dem (revisited)" makes one wonder why Mouse ever fell off in the first place. Eek-a- Mouse may play it silly, but he keeps it all real with his flicky-tricky lips speaking the truth.

Former Cal Poly pitcher Evan Reed made his Major League debut on Thursday night for the Detroit Tigers against the Texas Rangers. He became the fifteenth former Mustang to play in the Major Leagues.
The 27 year old right-hander threw 2 2/3 innings in a 10-4 loss to the Rangers. He allowed a solo home run to Nelson Cruz in the seventh inning. He struck out Elvis Andrus for his first big league strikeout. Reed scattered two hits in the game.
The Tigers claimed Reed off waivers from the Miami Marlins last month. He was 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 21 innings of work with Triple A Toledo.
Reed was drafted out of Cal Poly in the third round by the Texas Rangers in the 2007 MLB Draft. He is the fifth former Mustang currently in the Majors. He joins the Twins' Kevin Correia and Casey Fien, Bud Norris with Houston and Logan Schafer with the Brewers.

I alluded to this the other day, but regardless of how you view our country's largest city (as someone who lived there for seven years, I've seen both sides of the coin), there's no denying Toronto's place as the cultural epicentre for a great many things. One of these things is hip hop, and there's(…)
Dan-e-o – Worldwide Vapors f. Big Kish & Maestro Fresh Wes
Toronto! Uhhhh, how's it going? Perhaps you've heard, but Canada's largest city has been having a few "issues" with it's mayor of late. I sense this is weighing heavily on the shoulders of Hogtown's denizens, so how about a little something today to remind us all of Toronto the good? How about helping birth Canadian(…)
KASHKA – Never Had It
I was originally planning to do another Pop Explosion 2013 preview post today, but I liked this new KASHKA song too much to bury it in amongst 45 other soundcloud songs. KASHKA is the solo moniker of former Forest City Lovers-er Kat Burns, and Never Had It will be featured on her sophomore solo record(…)
The Precious Lo's – More Than Friends f. Maylee Todd
Not sure if you've ever heard this before, but music is very adept at making you feel the feelings. Feelings of each and every kind too, but sometimes I just want to keep it simple. Sometimes it's a warm Wednesday afternoon in October and I just want to listen to something that will keep my(…)
Shad – Fam Jam (Fe Sum Immigrins)

D-Sisive – Friend Of Mine
It's back to school time.

Basia Bulat – It Can't Be You
Pardon me for a moment while I get into my television-singing-show-judge guise, but this is a fact: lots of people have voices, but some people just have voices. Basia Bulat is most certainly in that latter category. Pure, and effortlessly emotive, Bulat's voice seems designed to cut you to the quick every time you hear(…)
Derek Christoff x The Arkeologists – the d.ark tape
I'm getting older. I know this partly because the main association of I have with "40" is no longer as the O.G. drink of choice, but the age I will be in a year and change. But moreso than that, I can tell I'm aging because it seems that with each passing day I find(…)
Grand Analog – Rap Sheet (This Day On) f. Saukrates
Back, caught you lookin' for the same thing. It's a new thing. Check out this I bring. An epic family vacation and then the work repercussions of said vacation has resulted in a few Naedoo-free weeks here at the hill. Since no one likely realized I was even gone, I figured I'd lead off with(…)

Luis Eduardo Soto-rodriguez Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Billings, on May 20, 2009, before Senior U.S. District Judge Jack D. Shanstrom, LUIS EDUARDO SOTO-RODRIGUEZ, a 29-year-old citizen of Mexico, appeared for sentencing. SOTO-RODRIGUEZ was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 4 months (time served)
- Special Assessment: $200
- Supervised Release: 1 year
SOTO-RODRIGUEZ was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to illegal re-entry of a previously deported alien and possession of false documents.
In an Offer of Proof filed by the United States, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On January 21, 2009, the Mussellshell County Sheriff's Department contacted the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding a welfare check involving a residence in Roundup. Many of the occupants of the residence had supplied the deputies with what appeared to be false immigration documents.
When the ICE agent responded to the residence, she asked the occupants in Spanish their place of birth. SOTO-RODRIGUEZ responded that he was born in Mexico. She requested his immigration papers and he handed her a Permanent Resident card and a Social Security card, both of which identified him as Luis E. Soto. She recognized immediately that the Permanent Resident card was forged and she suspected the Social Security card was as well.
The agent contacted the Havre Border Patrol dispatch to check the validity of the cards. The document was immediately found to be a forgery. The agent also learned that SOTO-RODRIGUEZ had been previously removed from the United States and that he had provided false immigration documents on that occasion as well.
When questioned further, SOTO-RODRIGUEZ admitted that he had been previously deported 5 months earlier and that he received a 5 year ban from entry back into the United States. He also admitted that his complete name was Luis Eduardo Soto-Rodriguez.
A review of immigration records and a fingerprint comparison confirmed that SOTO-RODRIGUEZ had been previously removed from the United States on August 11, 2008, through Laredo, Texas. A further review of immigration records found no evidence that SOTO-RODRIGUEZ had requested or received permission from the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security to reenter the United States after being removed.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that SOTO-RODRIGUEZ will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, SOTO-RODRIGUEZ does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
Assistant U.S. Marcia K. Hurd prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Tuesday was a deadly day for American troops in Iraq.
Two separate attacks Monday claimed the lives of eight soldiers.
This was the highest toll in a single day since September.
Witnesses said a suicide bomber approached the troops, who were on patrol outside a local shop, and without warning, the attacker detonated his explosives.
Still, casualties have been down the last few months.
The military said attacks have dropped 75 percent and the 29 troop fatalities in February were the second-lowest total in four years.

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 Prince!
Facts about Prince
- Breed: Other/Unknown Mix
- Color: Blue
- Age: Adult
- Size: Standard
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Prince's Info...
I am already neutered and housetrained.
Prince (1.59kg) came to New Moon on 5 June 2012 when his time ran out at a high volume shelter. He is having a great time experiencing life again at his foster home! Prince loves to walk on his leash outside and is not afraid of anything! Prince is a friendly, outgoing sort who loves to be held and petted. He is also quite well litter-trained!
Other Pets at New Moon Rabbit Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Prince, a North Gower Other/Unknown was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Other/Unknown for sale in North Gower, or seeking a Other/Unknown from a breeder in North Gower.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Gower 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 North Gower 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 Other/Unknown breeders who help with Other/Unknown rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in North Gower paves the way for another one to be saved.

I posted this topic a few months ago and I'm trying again to see if anyone knows why and how to fix them. I have a few coffee plants and bought one tea plant, both lost their leaves probably due to cold, but now it's warmer, but no leaves on either. All they have are the stem. Are they dying? What can I do, what did I do wrong, and is it too late?
If anyone knows how to fix them, please let me know. |

No experience with either. But are they located indoors? FataMorgana |
- Posted by scarletdaisies 7 (My Page) on Thu, May 13, 10 at 11:36
Yes, even under bushes, they did not do well outside. They are now on the porch where they normally do well. |
I don't know about the coffee, but the Camellia sinensis(Tea) should do well in zone 7. When we moved from the PNW(zone 7), I left a potted Tea plant with a friend and it's done well for her outside, blooming every year. Is the porch an enclosed one? Is it shady? What happened to them outside? Maybe you should pop them out of their pots and check the root ball...it could be too dry/wet, etc. A little more detail will help us help you. |
- Posted by scarletdaisies 7 (My Page) on Thu, May 13, 10 at 15:56
They don't do well at all in the sun, the porch is not enclosed, but does cover most sunlight, they were hanging in a window inside and started losing their leaves, so the cold might have gotten to them even though they were in a heated room. When I put the others, they were in another window sill and did well, outside the leaves turned brown, then fell off. They are unusually dry all the time even though I water them regularly. They did well in the same pots until spring came and I tried to put them outside too soon. If they could live in the window where they were, they would do just as well outside. The window was very cold. I'll check the rootball, but since I know they did well last year in the same pot, do they need repotting? They were just repotted last year in their own pot. |
I would check the root ball if you can because when you water, it might be draining down the sides of the pot and not getting to the middle of the root ball, leaving it too dry. Also, when you move plants from inside to outside, you must take the time to harden them off...get them used to the climate change gradually. I would leave them on the porch where they get light but not direct sun, make sure the soil is thoroughly moist, not wet, and wait to see if they will put out new growth when they are ready. Both coffee and tea grow to large shrubs when planted in the ground, so they may not be happy kept in pots that are too small, but you didn't mention the size of pots you have them in. |
- Posted by scarletdaisies 7 (My Page) on Thu, May 13, 10 at 23:20
Most were repotted last year. The tea plant is in a 9x9x9 pot, it stands 7 or 8 inches high, but it has only one stem, no other shoots. The coffee plants are in a 7 1/2 inch x 7 1/2 inch pot, but there are small stems next to the main stem. I found no ball at the end of any of them, but I have to say by the way the roots look brown and easy to pull away, I think they are dead. The stick sticking out of the dirt didn't turn black and break off, but it's just sitting there in the dirt. I found a bug about 1/3 of an inch that looked like a pale version of a rolly polly bug. Don't know the name of it, but could it have killed the plants? I didn't find anything else living in any of them, just one bug. All seemed dry even though I soaked them earlier today, what makes a plant drink water like that? |
Neither pot is big enough for either plant. Sounds like being unfamiliar with a plants growing conditions may have killed them if they are truely dead. Put both outside in the ground and hope they recover. Although both plants do not well in this area the pots that they are most happy in are measured in gallons not inch sizes even when small. To keep either in a pot as small as you mentioned you need to learn about root pruning and how to keep each happy. Most posters, including myself, have learned through killing plants. Often times we learn more from our errors than our successes. |

"Most posters, including myself, have learned through killing plants. Often times we learn more from our errors than our successes." LOL, that's why I suggested looking at the root ball(which is the whole "ball" of soil surrounding the root mass). I've watered and watered plants before, only to find out later(after they were dead)that the water was not penetrating the center of the pot! |

Major Twitter accounts hacked; Hacked timelines consist of info regarding competitors
Burger King, Jeep accounts hacked
Chrysler spokesman says someone hacked into the Jeep brand's twitter account Tuesday afternoon, making false Tweets for about an hour until the company that handles its social media regained control.
The move was similar to an incident involving the Burger King restaurant chain on Monday, although it's unclear if the two incidents are linked.
Hackers posted that the Jeep brand had been sold to Cadillac because employees had been caught using pills. They also posted that there would be no more Jeep production.
Chrysler spokesman Ed Garsten says the company's social media agency got help from Twitter to regain control of the account. He doesn't think the brand name was damaged by the Tweets because most people know it was a prank.
Along with Jeep, MTV and BET, the two music and reality based TV networks were also hacked today.

I think there's something wrong with my chenille plant! I've been noticing that the leaves were having some issues, but just thought it was the plant adjusting to its new environment. However, I've had it about a month now, and the leaves are continuing to develop brown spots. If anyone has any ideas about what could be wrong, I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Chenille plants 'Acalypha' are very difficult grown indoors. They do great as a garden plant, but when potted and brought inside, problems such as dry air to Spider Mites occur. During winter months place in a very bright window. 'sun differs in summer, they'll burn.' I have Chinelle's cousin, Copper Leaf. It's looked better before coming indoors; several leaves dropped. Once days lenghten, new growth will form and leaf color will resume. Chinelle is more difficult than Copper Leaf, but with some work, your plant should be okay. Brighter light, humidity, 'spray/shower leaves,' fresh air, and soil drying between wateriings. Remmove leaves such as the one posted. Sometimes, pruning or pinching is recommended. Chenille's are sold at garden centers, fairly inexpensive. When one is purchased as a house plant, price increases three times higher. Good luck. With care, you should see flowers in a month or two.

Toni, thank you for the info! I moved him to the brightest window in the house, but because it's in a bathroom, the window panes are frosted, so the light is diffuse. I already had him on a pebble tray and mist him 2x a day, but I thought the extra humidity from the bathroom might be beneficial, as well. I don't really have a cold room in which I can put him, unfortunately. )-: I took off the badly affected leaves, which didn't leave him many!! I did notice that there is quite a bit of new growth, though, which I hope is a good sign. Lori (-: |

Misting the leaves could be causing that spotting. Josh |

Just wanted to let both of you know that with your advice, my chenille plant looks much happier and is having a lot of new, healthy growth! I put it in the brightest window in the house and have been leaving the tub full of water (it's on the windowsill right above), to increase humidity. I also quit misting the leaves...and have had no new brown spots appear on the leaves since. So, thank you!! |

Photo 1: Anthracnose on grape berries
Anthracnose thrives in warm, wet weather. In Minnesota, some vineyards see Anthracnose every year, and others rarely have a problem says University of Minnesota Grape Breeder Dr. Jim Luby. The Canadian researchers found Frontenac and Frontenac Gris to be resistant to anthracnose, Frontenac Blanc and La Crescent to be susceptible, and Marquette to be highly susceptible. Growers interested in trying new wine grape cultivars should learn about disease resistance to several grape diseases in addition to anthracnose. Downy mildew, black rot, powdery mildew and Botrytiscan all be problematic in Minnesota vineyards. More information about disease resistance and culture of cold hardy grapes can be found at the University of Minnesota Cold Hardy Grape webpage.

Do you actually see things that you do not recognize? I was hunting for agates near Custer, South Dakota and went through a great agate field and picked a number of nice specimens. I then visited a rock shop and was introduced to the prairie agate which I had not seen in any of the rock books. I went back to the agate field and found quite a few prairie agates. I had been in that field earnestly searching for agates before and did not even see these types until pointed out at the rock shop. This begs the question, can you be looking right at something and not see it or rather not recognize it for what it is? It is not that your eyes did not see it but rather your brain was not ready to discern.
This brings me to the subject of beneficial insects in the garden. Have I not seen them because I did not know what I was looking for? As I look forward to next year's gardening, I want to put the idea of discovering more beneficials at the forefront of my mind. To aid the process I would like to be able to see what it is that I am looking for. As advanced responsible gardeners I think we have an obligation to recognize the dynamics at work in our gardens. To this end I offer the following challenge: how many beneficials will you be able to see and identify from your garden in 2012?
What follows is a gallery of 8 beneficial insects with pictures of their mature and immature stages. Also included is a table showing the types of insects on which they prey.
Please click here for the pdf of the gallery: Beneficials.pdf
Last chance! The Arboretum Apple House will remain open until at least November 6. They have the best supply of Honeycrisp in years and have been picking some high quality late season apples this week. Whether you prefer a tart and juicy Haralson, a sweet Fireside or Snowsweet with a balanced flavor, you will find the apples you enjoy the most right now. For updates on the Applehouse inventory, call 952-443-1409. For more information about the Apple program at the U of M, please visit the U of M Apples website.
Potted chrysanthemums in rich, autumn hues are traditional for Thanksgiving. Choose plants with some buds just opening, rather than in full bloom. They'll last three or four weeks when kept in a bright locations. Discard the plants once their flowers fade. It's not worth trying to plant them outdoors. Even though they might survive our winters, most florists mums won't bloom before hard frost, so they aren't useful in Minnesota gardens.
Apply winter mulch over bulbs and the flowering perennials buy mid-month if the soil hasn't frozen yet. (Ideally you'd wait until it freezes.) You can even spread straw, leaves, or partially finished compost on top of snow. Winter mulch's most important function is to insulate plant roots from fluctuating soil temperatures and keep them safely dormant during early spring warm-ups.
Move houseplants to brighter locations within your home, to compensate for reduced-light levels as days grow shorter and cloudier weather increases. South-or west facing windows are not too bright-- even for "low light" plants, this time of year. Pull the shades or draw the drapes at night, thought to protect houseplants from cold air near window panes. Continue to rotate the plants 1/4 turn every couple weeks so they don't bend toward the light.

WIU Wins at KCACTF
From Bill Kincaid.
I'm writing to share great news from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. I just returned from our regional festival, where our students did outstanding work and were recognized for it.
- MFA directing student Tommy Iafrate won the SDC directing award, which is the Festival's biggest directing prize. The region will send him to the Kennedy Center in April where he will work with other regional winners at the National KCACTF Festival.
- MFA directing student Kristin Katsu was runner-up for Best Director in the Ten-Minute Play competition.
- Eight actors were awarded prizes for their work, out of the 500 students who auditioned for Festival judges. Three of the eight recognized students were from WIU.
- BFA students Anna Cline and Lorenzo Rush received the Judges' Award for Comedy Scene.
- MFA student Andrew Behling was the recipient of the Classical Acting Award presented by NAPAT (National Partners of American Theatre). This award is presented both to the actor and to the actor's mentor, Bill Kincaid.
- MFA design student Will James Stacey was part of the winning Design Storm team.
Region 3 of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival includes the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and western Ohio. Approximately 1500 students from across the region attend the regional Festival each year.
Western Illinois University made a great showing, and I knew you would all want to know about it.
Way to go WIU theatre students! We know we have great, talented students. Now a few more people know that too.

Mustafa Abdul Jalil, leader of Libya's interim National Transitional Council, declared the end of the war and the liberation of Libya on Sunday following the controversial death of Moammar Qaddafi. Judging by the tenor of discussion in the United States, you would think that this was an unmitigated disaster — a humiliating end to an illegal war which prevented the UN from acting in Syria, massacred civilians, and opened the door to state failure, warlord violence, reprisals, and radical Islamist tyranny. (Though at least we can be relieved that the rebels can now get their mack on.) That's quite a catalog of failure dominating the public discourse at a time when the official war has come to an end, and most Libyans are celebrating Qaddafi's demise and planning a democratic transition towards a post-Qaddafi future. In fact, the intervention in Libya has been broadly successful and has helped to give Libyans the opportunity to build the country which they so deeply deserve.
There's every reason to be cautious about Libya's future, of course. There will be massive challenges facing the emerging new country, from independent militias to tribal and regional conflicts to the legacy of decades of the systematic destruction of independent civil society. But nobody denies that. Despite what Google tells me is 64,300,000 articles warning that "now comes the hard part in Libya," this is a straw man. I have heard almost nobody arguing the opposite — certainly not the White House, which consistently has warned that "We're under no illusions — Libya will travel a long and winding road to full democracy. There will be difficult days ahead."

Ransom Room
The Ransom Room (El Cuarto del Rescate) is a small building located in Cajamarca, Peru. It is considered to be the place where the Inca Empire came to an end with the capture and eventual execution of the Inca Emperor Atahualpa.[1]
Capture of Emperor Atahualpa (1532)[edit]
When Francisco Pizarro arrived in Cajamarca in November 1532, he sent a messenger to Atahualpa, proposing they meet outside the main plaza. Pizarro decided to send a friar, Vicente de Valverde, along with an interpreter (Felipillo) to speak with Atahualpa. Friar Valverde presented himself to Atahualpa and explained through the interpreter the mysteries of Catholic religion, and that, on account of their heathenism, the pope had granted Atahualpa's kingdom to the Spaniards. Atahualpa professed not to understand the tenor of this discourse, and would not resign his kingdom, saying he would "be no man's tributary."[citation needed]
Upon hearing this, the friar gave a Bible to Atahualpa, who, after merely observing it and turning a few pages, threw the book on the floor. Atahualpa then demanded a full account of the presence of the Spaniards in his land.[citation needed]
Friar Valverde picked up the Bible and left to inform Pizarro of the incident, calling Atahualpa a "dog" and full of pride. He also told Pizarro he suspected the fields around the plaza where the Spaniards were hiding were soon to be invaded by Atahualpa's army. At this point Pizarro and his forces decided to come out on horseback with firearms, causing many of Atahualpa's army to flee upon hearing the sounds of artillery and muskets.[citation needed]
Many natives died as they tried to fight against the better-armed Spaniards. Thereafter, Pizarro went on to look for Atahualpa himself, who was shielded by his faithful nobles who, in the end, were also captured by the Spaniards.[citation needed]
It was during this time that Atahualpa gave orders for the execution of his half-brother, Huascar, who he believed was an obstacle to his ruling of the empire. Atahualpa gave these orders thinking the Spaniards would soon leave after further concessions, leaving him to rule alone once again.[citation needed]
Trial and execution of Atahualpa (1533)[edit]
Pizarro decided to charge Atahualpa with 12 crimes, the most important being attempting to revolt against the Spanish, practicing idolatry and murdering Huascar. Atahualpa was found guilty of all 12 charges and was sentenced to execution by burning. Atahualpa offered Pizarro to buy his liberty by filling the room where he was kept prisoner with gold and the two following rooms with silver, up to the level of the reach of his arm.[citation needed]
After being led to the place of his execution, Atahualpa begged for his life. Friar Valverde, who had earlier offered the Bible to Atahualpa, intervened again, telling Atahualpa that if he agreed to convert to Christianity he would persuade the rest to commute his sentence.[citation needed]
Atahualpa agreed to be baptized into the Christian faith and, in the end, was strangled instead of being burned, or rather was strangled just before being burned: this was the mercy the Inquisition granted to heretics that repented of their heresy. Atahualpa died in August of 1533.[citation needed]
Various sources claim the so-called "ransom room" alleged to have been filled with gold was only where Atahualpa was held prisoner, and the real room filled with gold was located at an unconfirmed location.[citation needed]
After Atahualpa was executed, the "Tahuantinsuyo" (Inca Empire) is considered to have reached its end, giving way to the further Spanish conquest of Peru. During 2004, approximately 60,000 tourists visited the site of the ransom room in Cajamarca, Peru.[citation needed]
