on January 04, 2010 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
2010 will see a gradual increase in investment levels and exit transactions according to Venture View 2010, the annual year-end survey by the National Venture Capital Association. Sixty-three percent of all respondents expect venture investment dollar levels to remain the same or increase from 2009. Half of the respondents predict more companies will receive venture financing, while one-third believes the number of portfolio companies will remain the same. Clean tech continues to be a trendy selection, topping the list as 54 percent of VCs surveyed forecast higher investment levels in that arena for 2010. Other positive industries identified include: internet (46 percent); media & entertainment (33 percent; and, software (32 percent).
However, despite the modest optimism, most felt that the venture capital industry as a whole would begin to contract. In fact, an overwhelming 90 percent predict that the number of VC firms will decline over the next five years with three-quarters predicting a contraction of anywhere between 1 - 30 percent.

Huddlestone out for season
Thursday 16 February 2012
The Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone expects to miss the rest of the season after undergoing further surgery on his ankle problem later this week.
"Tom will undergo a second stage of surgery on Friday to further his recovery following ankle surgery at the end of last year," a Spurs statement said yesterday. The 25-year-old has been limited to only four appearances this season.
David Bentley's agent, Rob Segal, claims that the midfielder is keen to move to the MLS in the United States.

Marine Energy Corporation designs marine power generator support systems. Some of the systems currently have generation capacity of over 15 megawatts with costs per output capacity similar to onshore wind power in optimum situations. These systems can be installed globally, in most water depths, individually or in a large scale power farm delivering gigawatts of power.
The oceans are huge power sources which can be developed economically on a large scale.
This website will show how marine power can be the alternative energy of choice and how marine power generators can be installed globally on a large scale as economically as onshore wind power.
This website will also show how multiple wave and current generators can be mounted on the same support frame and how these support frames can:
The offshore industry has the tools, the experience and the technology needed to make these structures a reality and make them last for hundreds of years, and the Marine Energy Corporation has the systems and know-how to make it economical.

For some years now, I have been concerned about the lack of caring for headstones and markers of various types in countless cemeteries, especially in the southern half of our nation. So many of those headstones and markers are the only visible and personal things that remain to show each individual person�s last place in history. Countless headstones and markers were placed before public records came into being in many Southern states, and many, many, Bible records were either lost or destroyed or never owned by numbers of citizens. Over the years an unknown count of cemeteries has been taken over by new owners who are only interested in profit. Too, there are also countless old free cemeteries where inmates are used to mow the cemeteries. Thus, the inmates are careless and there is no punishment for ramming those mowers into headstones. If the headstones give way then they are usually carted to a place at the back of a cemetery and dumped on top of other broken headstones. Thus, there is no maintenance for those free cemeteries except to allow in mowers where there isn�t enough room for their usage, but the person who allows such usage doesn�t care any more than the inmates if there is destruction. As for the other cemeteries whose owners are in it for the profit, a complaint is useless because no one stands up and demands they be accountable. Please join me in holding people accountable for the destruction of part of our past. Your input is important to help resolve this issue. Notify Administrator about this message?

Given the growing popularity of coffee and tea, vendors of coffeemakers and teamakers are often motivated to raise the bar on innovations in their products.
That both beverages are still gaining in strength with consumers is clear from recent studies. Coffee drinking "tracks strong and steady" among consumers of all ages, according to the 2011 National Coffee Drinking Trends from the National Coffee Association. Of particular note, the study found that coffee drinking trended upward among younger consumers last year. Consumption among 18-24 year-olds rose from 31 percent in 2010 to 40 percent last year, and for 25-29 year-olds increased from 44 percent to 54 percent.
Tea is just as healthy a market. According to a statement from the Tea Association of the USA, total wholesale tea sales reached $7.8 billion in 2010, compared with $1.8 billion in 1990. The association also projected continued sales increases for traditional tea, specialty tea and ready-to-drink tea in the coming years.
Regarding the products debuted so far in 2012, single-serve beverage machines have been among the biggest newsmakers in the coffee and tea category for several years, and they show no signs of slowing down.
If anything, in fact, this category has experienced a marked acceleration since the beginning of 2012. In that time, Keurig introduced its second platform for single-serve brewing, called the Vue Brewer. This is designed to brew larger (up to 18 ounces, a typical travel mug's size), stronger and hotter beverages with Custom Brew Technology, which adjusts water pressure, timing and air flow.
Single-serve has also established footholds in the espresso segment this year. First, Starbucks formed an alliance with German manufacturer Krueger to produce and market the Verismo system by Starbucks. This is a single-serve coffeemaker that produces all types of espresso beverages, including lattes and americanos, along with brewed coffee, using Starbucks-sourced arabica coffee and milk pods. Starbucks has also extended its relationship with Keurig parent Green Mountain Coffee Roasters for Starbucks-branded packs for the new Vue Brewer.
Shortly after the Verismo debut, Cuisinart and illycaffe of Italy announced their partnership for a line of espresso machines. Co-branded Cuisinart for illy, these machines will use illy's proprietary iperEspresso capsules, which involve a two-stage rapid infusion and extraction of coffee throughout the brewing cycle.
Single-serve products were also on display at last month's International Home + Housewares Show. Nespresso debuted two new single-serve espresso makers, the Maestria and the Gran Maestria, which the company described as "two evocative machines embodying the coffeemaking ritual in a unique and espresso way." Both machines present a hands-on retro design with a full aluminum body with features such as a professionally developed steam pipe with optimized air-intake technology and a pivoting cup support for long and short cups.
The Housewares Show also had single-serve introductions for tea. Kuhn Rikon unveiled the Single Cup Easy Brew for coffee or tea, a pour-over brewer. You place it on top of a cup, click the mesh filter into place, add ground coffee or loose-leaf tea, pour in boiling water, place the lid on top and steep the coffee or tea as long as you want.
Introductions at the show weren't confined to single-serve products. Bodum USA offered two major entries into the coffee category: the Bistro Pour Over Coffee Machine, which electrifies and automates the manual "pour-over" coffee-brewing method used by many baristas; and the Bistro Electric French Press Coffee Maker, which is designed with the French Press Plunger System and brews coffee quickly and without filters.
The Krups brand of Groupe SEB rolled out an array of coffee and tea products. Among these are the Barista EA9000 One-Touch, which has the ability to save up to eight favorite coffee recipes; the Solo Steam Espresso Machine, a compact steam espresso maker that also comes in a combination model with a 10-Cup Glass Carafe Coffee Maker included; and the 10-Cup Grind and Brew Coffee Machine, featuring a patented coffee dispenser, conical burr grinder with nine settings, an aroma setting and other features.
Krups also made noise in the tea arena. The Personal Tea Kettle features an internal circulation system and mesh brew basket for holding either loose-leaf tea or tea bags.

To call W.A.R.? Colorado's most successful imprint is to damn it with faint praise; after all, there's not much competition out there, especially right now. But unlike countless other area music firms that have been launched with great fanfare only to collapse in a mountain of debt and acrimony, W.A.R.? keeps growing. The enterprise is defined by the Samples, the hard-touring cult band that sparked it to life earlier this decade and continues to generate most of its income; Here and Somewhere Else, issued by the group this summer, is currently W.A.R.?'s hottest product. But the W.A.R.?-related catalogue also includes two highly successful CDs tied to the Reggae on the Rocks concert series; recordings by the Ugly Americans (currently signed to Capricorn Records) and the Radiators; Glass Cockpit, a first-rate offering by House of Large Sizes, an underrated alterna-combo from Iowa; and Munly de Dar He, a wonderfully twisted 1997 platter featuring ex-Boulderite Jayson Munly Thompson that was put out by Top Notch, a W.A.R.? subsidiary. Joining the library late last month was Funk Overload, by Maceo Parker, a onetime saxophonist for James Brown who's recently turned into one of the country's most consistent live attractions. And due on September 29 is Everything I Need, by Melissa Ferrick, a singer-songwriter previously with Atlantic Records.
"This is a unique period for us--the busiest period we've ever gone through," says Rob Gordon, president and founder of W.A.R.? "But it's also one of the best."
Gordon is older than his eleven full-time employees at W.A.R.?, but he's hardly ancient: He's in his mid-thirties. As the Samples' Andy Sheldon admits with a laugh, "It's kind of strange working for a company where the boss is two years younger than I am." Indeed, youth predominates at the W.A.R.? launchpad, as does a decidedly Bouldery attitude toward attire: Mat Hall, a publicist who answers to the title Secretary of Propaganda ("in keeping with the W.A.R.? theme"), confesses that he does most of his work in bare feet. But that's not to imply that business at W.A.R.? is conducted in a laissez-faire manner. Gordon watches his coins like a Nineties Jack Benny, and when he's on a roll, he can spew economic jargon with the best of them. "There are two ways to make money," he says. "You either collect more income or you incur less expenses. And we try very hard to do both."
In the beginning, Gordon was more interested in playing music than marketing it; he was once a member of a high-school band that included Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio. He later moved behind the scenes, rising to the post of A&R director for EMI by the dawn of the Nineties. But a funny thing happened on the way to corporate greatness: He was fired. He subsequently retreated to his New York City apartment and tried to figure out what he should try next, little knowing that the Samples were doing virtually the same thing.
Emerging from Boulder during the last half of the Eighties, the Samples--originally Sheldon, Sean Kelly, Jeep MacNichol and Al Laughlin--eventually hooked up with Arista Records, which put out a self-titled album by the band in 1990. But it didn't take long for the players to become disillusioned. "Arista's roster at the time was made up of Barry Manilow and Whitney Houston and Alan Jackson--they were their bread and butter--and they didn't know what to do with us," Sheldon says. "We signed with them because they said they were starting an alternative-music department, but unfortunately, that never came to fruition. And they certainly didn't have any other artists in our category. The only one that even came close was Urban Dance Squad--and they did manage to get them a hit that was constantly played on MTV for a month or so ["Deeper Shade of Soul," which reached the Top 40 in 1991]. But I haven't heard of Urban Dance Squad since--and if the same thing would have happened to us, I don't think we'd still be around, either." Just as irksome for Sheldon were the layers of bureaucracy that separated the Samples from Arista chieftain Clive Davis. "As far as I was concerned, that guy was the Wizard of Oz. He was like the guy behind the curtain. I never saw him--not once. The people who were working with us would say, 'Clive said this' or 'Clive said that.' And I'd say, 'Show him to me. I just want to know he's real.'"
These factors, combined with album sales that plateaued around 50,000, convinced the Samples to leave Arista. They were ready to put out an EP, Underwater People, on their own when the quartet's manager at the time, Ted Guggenheim, contacted Gordon with a proposition: Start his own company and make the Samples his first signee. Because of the Samples' sizable following, symbolized by a mailing list with tens of thousands of names on it, Gordon jumped at the opportunity.

Environmental Protection
Some 6 years ago, I left my job as a UNIX application admin at a Major Insurance Provider. I had spent some years there policing development, test and production environments for large groups of programmers, build managers, quality assurance engineers, and users. The platforms were AIX and Solaris, but that's irrelevant.
A good portion of that time was Hell.
It turns out that living in a busy intersection of computers and power users is like being a traffic cop without a uniform. Half of these people will run you over by accident and the other half will run you over on purpose. They all know enough to be dangerous and many of them know far more than the cops. And they all have the purest of intentions, not to mention deadlines to meet.
Recently I was assigned WordPress admin duties here and set up test and production environments for our designers and editors. Somewhere along the way I forgot how challenging it can be to support power users in their quest to make increasingly cool stuff while not breaking things. I'm even quoted in an email somewhere boasting how 'darn easy' WordPress is to administrate. Silly boy! That may be true when you run a single environment blog site, but not so much when you have a creative team trying out various themes and plugins, FTPing everything but the kitchen sink to the servers, and generally exercising their Freedom to Compute across multiple environments. Who can blame them? That's the job of a creative team.
Without a formal quality assurance department here (hope that's not a shop secret), admins also become testers and de facto change managers on top of being command line jocks (or on the Windows side, find-the-well-hidden-checkbox jocks). This is a lot to shoulder. Managers here juggle such a number of initiatives and services that they need to operate at a higher level much of the time, and trust their teams… teams which are far leaner than in larger IT shops.
Change management is all about environmental protection. Keep production as sacred as possible without killing productivity. Provide enough freedom in development and test environments not to shackle designers and developers. Keep everyone in the ecosystem informed and happy. Everything old is new again for me, and although I am having occasional flashbacks to Hell, at least I have a small notion of how to stay above the flames.
But 'darn easy' it isn't, and never was.

Quoted from SheriBerry my mom is older and eating lunch out is one of her only pleasures. the other is a Mediterranean restaurant
Quoted Text If we eat garlic in an avoid food we get garlic breath but if we eat it with an HB no garlic breath. As an O if I eat baba ganoush watch out. Same for my Bs and Italian food with tomatoes. We eat garlic daily with our regular HB, neutral foods and have no problem. Another thing I have noticed is that I get BO if I eat mozzarella cheese, butter and some grains. Oh and also bee pollen. Have you actually gone off the vitamins and notice the odor go away? Maybe it is something else you are eating. If it is the vitamins, I wouldn't worry if you are eating fresh vitamin-filled organic food.
Quoted from Ribbit Speaking of odors......I used to not be able to use "health" deodorants. When I started the BTD I was able to, because my body didn't stink anymore. Now I can use natural deo and it works!I order fish when we eat out. Salmon if possible. Even if the salmon is farm-raised, it won't make me feel bad like another meat might.
Quoted from SheriBerry ... usually the nicer the restaurant, the easier it is for me to get them to make things plain...

Praying In The Spirit DR A Torrey
About This Blog...
1. Over and over again in what has already been said, we have seen our dependence upon the Holy Spirit in prayer. This comes out very definitely in Eph. 6:18, "Praying always with all prayer and supplication IN THE SPIRIT," and in Jude 20, "Praying IN THE HOLY GHOST." Indeed the whole secret of prayer is found in these three words, "in the Spirit." It is the prayer that God the Holy Spirit inspires that God the Father answers.
The disciples did not know how to pray as they ought, so they came to Jesus and said,"Lord teach us to pray." We know not how to pray as we ought, but we have another Teacher and Guide right at hand to help us (John 14:16,17), "The Spirit helpeth our infirmity" (Rom. 8:26, R.V.). He teaches us how to pray. True prayer is prayer in the Spirit; that is, the prayer the Spirit inspires and directs. When we come into God's presence we should recognize "our infirmity," our ignorance of what we should pray for or how we should pray for it, and in the consciousness of our utter inability to pray aright we should look up to the Holy Spirit, casting ourselves utterly upon Him to direct our prayers, to lead out our desires and to guide our utterance of them.
Nothing can be more foolish in prayer than to rush heedlessly into God's presence, and ask the first thing that comes into our mind, or that some thoughtless friend has asked us to pray for. When we first come into God's presence we should be silent before Him. We should look up to Him to send His Holy Spirit to teach us how to pray. We must wait for the Holy Spirit, and surrender ourselves to the Spirit, then we shall pray aright.
Oftentimes when we come to God in prayer, we do not feel like praying. What shall one do in such a case? cease praying until he does feel like it? Not at all. When we feel least like praying is the time when we most need to pray. We should wait quietly before God and tell Him how cold and prayerless our hearts are, and look up to Him and trust Him and expect Him to send the Holy Spirit to warm our hearts and draw them out in prayer. It will not be long before the glow of the Spirit's presence will fill our hearts, and we will begin to pray with freedom, directness, earnestness and power. Many of the most blessed seasons of prayer I have ever known have begun with a feeling of utter deadness and prayerlessness, but in my helplessness and coldness I have cast myself upon God, and looked to Him to send His Holy Spirit to teach me to pray, and He has done it.
When we pray in the Spirit, we will pray for the right things and in the right way. There will be joy and power in our prayer.
2. If we are to pray with power we must pray WITH FAITH. In Mark 11:24 Jesus says, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." No matter how positive any promise of God's Word may be, we will not enjoy it in actual experience unless we confidently expect its fulfillment in answer to our prayer. "If any of you lack wisdom," says James, "let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." Now that promise is as positive as a promise can be, but the next verse adds, "But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." (R.V.) There must then be confident unwavering expectation. But there is a faith that goes beyond expectation, that believes that the prayer is heard and the promise granted. This comes out in the Revised Version of Mark 11:24, "Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye HAVE received them, and ye shall have them."
But how can one get this faith?
Let us say with all emphasis, it cannot be pumped up. Many a one reads this promise about the prayer of faith, and then asks for things that he desires and tries to make himself believe that God has heard the prayer. This ends only in disappointment, for it is not real faith and the thing is not granted. It is at this point that many people make a collapse of faith altogether by trying to work up faith by an effort of their will, and as the thing they made themselves believe they expected to get is not given, the very foundation of faith is oftentimes undermined.
But how does real faith come?
Rom 10:17 answers the question: "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing BY THE WORD OF GOD." If we are to have real faith, we must study the Word of God and find out what is promised, then simply believe the promises of God. Faith must have a warrant. Trying to believe something that you want to believe is not faith. Believing what God says in His Word is faith. If I am to have faith when I pray, I must find some promise in the Word of God on which to rest my faith. Faith furthermore comes through the Spirit. The Spirit knows the will of God, and if I pray in the Spirit, and look to the Spirit to teach me God's will, He will lead me out in prayer along the line of that will, and give me faith that the prayer is to be answered; but in no case does real faith come by simply determining that you are going to get the thing that you want to get.
If there is no promise in the Word of God, and no clear leading of the Spirit, there can be no real faith, and there should be no upbraiding of self for lack of faith in such a case. But if the thing desired is promised in the Word of God, we may well upbraid ourselves for lack of faith if we doubt; for we are making God a liar by doubting His Word.

How to Reach Tripura by Air
The state capital, Agartala is well connected by air with Kolkata, Guwahati, Delhi and Chennai. The airport is 12 kms away from the city. A flight from Guwahati or Kolkata takes about 50 minutes to reach Agartala.
The state has three more small airports at Khowai, Kamalpur and Kailashahar where small-chartered planes can land but they are not functional at present. But helicopter service is functional in these places presently.

I just now decided to learn HTML code and managed to make a web page with sound on it, it works fine on my web page but I have to turn the volume up every time I go into the page. Here's the real confusing part; The player on my web page seems to be controlling the sound on other pages. When surfing the web if I run across a page with background sound I have to bring my master volume control up and turn the volume up on the midi every time. What is making it do that? Do I need to add or subtract something from my code which is: (I changed all the <"s to ( so it would show up here)
(div align="center")(br)(br)

Midi's are notorious for having wacky default volume settings. I avoid them if at all possible. |

A long time ago in a land far, far away, battery operated irrigation timers that had misting cycles were cheap and readily available. When I built my misting box many years ago, I found the Melnor 3060 at Home Depot for under $30. It wasn't perfect, but it did have a 2 minute on/10 minute off cycle that does the job. There were a few others, like the Nelson 5940 that had misting functionality as well. Unfortunately, it seems those days are gone, and the sub-$50 timers no longer have the ability to do misting cycles. The new ones are dumbed down versions of their previous models and much functionality has been removed! For example, the Melnor 3060 has gone through 4 revisions. With the latest (2012) model, much of what made the 3060 great has been removed. I contacted them and their response was that the functions, or lack thereof, were due to focus groups and what they said they wanted. Absent from the new 3060 is the misting cycles, odd/even day watering and independent day watering (ie: select what days you want to water on). Added is the ability to retain the program when changing batteries, a "Large" LCD display and ease of programming (aka: one button programming). I need a battery operated hose end timer.. I don't have electricity out in the garden where my propagation box is, just a hose bib. All I really need is something that will start and stop at times I set, and in between those times, cycle on and off for durations I specify. The Melnor had preset misting cycles, which were not ideal, but worked. I believe the Nelson was a bit more flexible, but I've never had one so I am just basing that on what others have indicated. I will keep using my original 3060 until it dies.. but what then? What alternatives are there that won't break the bank? After seeing my propagation box, my neighbor wants to build a similar one.. what can I tell him? There has to be a fairly inexpensive (< $50) timer out there that I just haven't been able to find. Any suggestions? Cheers, |
Follow-Up Postings:
Brad, A couple years ago I was looking for a fairly inexpensive propagation timer and saw this one. I settled on a used Mist-o-matic on Craigslist. If this one does what they say,it should work,not real cheap,but less than most. Brady |

<--- Back to Sugar, Mr. Poon?
Frequently Asked Questions v2.0
Before you read this FAQ,
you might want to read the Original FAQ first.
1. Who are you?
Dude -- I said read the Original FAQ, ok?
2. So anyway, I noticed in the last FAQ that you evaded questions about your site being full of pastels. Are you Metrosexual?
No, I'm not. At least I don't think so. I do absolutely love Queer Eye. Carson cracks me up but Kyan's the coolest.
3. While we're on the subject of pronouncing things, would you call this a "Fack" or an "Eff-ay-cue"?
It's definitely a "fack." F-A-Q is for people that have time to say "F-A-Q" instead of just "fack."
4. How exactly can you be a Yankees fan and liberal at the same time?
I get this a lot, so I suppose it's time to answer it. The short answer is, "It's pretty easy."
Sports are fun and entertaining, and I'm happy to root for the team I grew up rooting for instead of switching just because they spend a boatload of money on their players. Although they would hurt the Yankees, I support more liberal-minded devices such as revenue-sharing and a salary cap.
And anyway, who wants to watch the Mets? Jeez...
5. I read your original FAQ and it was much more entertaining than this one.
Uh, that doesn't sound like a question to me... but yeah, it's question five and I'm running on fumes here. This may end up being a ten-question FAQ.
6. Do you really post from class?
Yes, occasionally. In fact, I'm often engaging in a witty repartee with my professors while I type out fun SMP? posts. No, really.
7. I hate myself for being addicted to your site. How does that make you feel?
Cool -- I love myself for making you feel that way.
8. Your weblog entries since late April indicate that you worked for a firm this summer and are back at school as a 3L. Does that mean this didn't work out?
Um, err, no, it didn't. By the way, can I borrow ten bucks?
9. What web sites to you frequent?
I like ESPN.com for sports, CNN.com for news, Fark for fun and Friendster for wasting time.
Obviously, my most favoritest website is mine!
10. Your site is technically a law blog, or "blawg." I don't see much law on your site... why is that?
Well, there are a lot of other sites out there that discuss law and politics. And while I discuss those topics now and then, I've decided to focus on some of the other topics in my masthead -- pop culture, golf, sports, and, of course, inanity.
11. I'm an assuming guy from a small town who's never had luck with the ladies. One day, though, I was in my favorite restaurant when the most amazing thing happened. You see, this restaurant is my favorite because every waitress there is beautiful and has a perfect figure. I always assumed all the stories in your magazine were made up, until one happened to me...
Whoa, there, buckaroo. TMI, man.
12. Do you have any special talents?
Yes. I can crack my ears. No, really -- it's kinda gross, but also kinda cool. Much like ESPN's "Playmakers".
13. What percent of your life never makes it onto your blog?
Probably about 99%.
14. What's on your cutting room floor?
As of this FAQ (10/26/03), I've had 1271 entries on the blog and twelve of those are "closed" entries. A closed entry is one that I wrote but isn't on the site. Now and then I'll outright delete something, but most of the time I just close it if I'm not putting it on a site. Now and then I edit things, of course, but the site is pretty much unadulterated Poonage (if you will). Anyway, here are the closed entries:
6 of them are from before 1/9/03, the launch date of SMP?. These are mostly just tests or cute notes to Ms. Poon (awwww!).
3 of them were double-posts where I closed the duplicate post.
2 of them were removed by me at the suggestion of others (suggestions I agreed with).
1 of them was this post... don't know why it was closed; must have been an accident.
15. Oooh... removed at the suggestion of others? Sounds exciting!
Not really.
16. Have you ever met any other bloggers?
Actually, no. At least none that I didn't already know before either of us started blogging. [UPDATE: I did meet Howard Bashman of How Appealing, which I discussed in this post.]
17. How do you publicize your site? Do all your friends read it? Do you have friends?
I don't do much in the way of self-publicizing. I have told a few friends about the site -- those that I'm sure would enjoy it. Otherwise, I don't mention it.
This leads to an occasional encounter with someone who will say, "I liked that post on [topic] today." Finding out that someone ended up at the site (and actually liked it) is pretty fun.
Oh, and I have no friends. Because I'm actually an Olive Garden, where everyone is FAMILY! Yay!!!!
18. Are you like this in real life?
Yes. Those that know me and read SMP? tend to agree that it's very, very "me."
19. If you could do anything in the world, what would you do?
Skip ahead to question 20.
20. Seriously, though, what's the meaning of life?
I'm still not telling!

As a new homeowner, I'm turning my attention to the lawn. Unfortunately it was severely neglected and is more weeds than grass. Tonight, I was edging for new perennial beds and found what appears to be a nightmare scenario. I hit landscape fabric! It appears to be 2-3 inches underneath the lawn. I have spot checked several areas (well into the lawn) and this nasty stuff is everywhere. I have no idea why the previous owner would do such a bizarre thing. As you may guess the poor struggling lawn is unable to penetrate the landscape fabric and has surface root overgrowth (and weeds are thriving). I am not pleased with this situation and am afraid of the possible options.
1. complete removal of the fabric is analogous to the nuclear option. total removal of soil and sod and fabric... replace with new $od. or 2. could heavy repeated plug aeration allow the lawn to penetrate the fabric sufficiently to regain some vigor? THe plugs would have to be significant to penetrate the fabric. This is a great community and I appreciate any insight. |
Follow-Up Postings:
My God!! That is horrible. I feel bad for you. I suppose a guzillion punched holes is about the only option other than the nuclear option. Why in the world would someone put landscape fabric UNDER a lawn??!! |

SCA Alumni Council Leah Duran (pictured below) writes about the REI-led stand-up paddle boarding class recently held at Richmond Marina in the Bay Area exclusively for SCA alums. A second course will be held this Friday, 7/25 in Redwood City.
Alumni Stories
Yellowstone National Park contains more than 1,100 miles of trail and among the most impressive is the one blazed by Dr. Mary Meagher. A first-year SCA alumna (Olympic NP, '57), Mary is widely credited with paving the way for women scientists in the park service. "Agencies did not hire women at that time, at least with my training and interests," she says. "That's just how things were."
The diary of the first-ever SCA crew tells of "15 young woodsmen" who built a new trail along the Elwha River in Olympic National Park, "swapped yarns" and vied in "glissading marathons" in their off-time. Then 16-year old Eliot Putnam started his journal exactly 57 years ago today. Eliot would go on to travel the world with the Peace Corps, CARE, Pathfinder International and the National Council for International Health (where he served as president) promoting family and reproductive health programs in developing countries.
Since a 2009 SCA internship at Shenandoah National Park, Don Macänlalay has gone on to do social media for The Nature Conservancy, the largest environmental nonprofit in America, and one of the most trusted. He began at their national headquarters in Arlington, VA , focused on Tumblr and Instagram, but soon moved on to managing all social media for their Washington state office in Seattle.
I had two job offers for the summer before my junior year of high school, and I went for the one that came with new boots. The job was with Student Conservation Association (SCA), a program that offers youth the opportunity for real jobs in the conservation field.
This year the Northwest Community program is celebrating 30 years of community programming and conservation service to the Puget Sound area. We're reaching out to our SCA members throughout our history to reconnect and find out where they're at today. This conversation is with Jesse Alton, '93-'96 Seattle Community Program alum and crew leader '04.
Jesse is pictured above; 2nd from right with the crew he co-led at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in 2004.
This year the Northwest Community program is celebrating 30 years of community programming and conservation service to the Puget Sound area. We're reaching out to our SCA members throughout our history to reconnect and find out where they're at today. Our first conversation is with Qiana Patterson, '93 Seattle Community Program alumna and now Chief Operations Officer at Edlio, a Los Angeles based educational software platform provider.
In 1976, as a high school junior, Ellen Tohn flew from New York to California to join an SCA trail crew in Yosemite National Park. The airline lost her luggage – but Ellen found her calling.
Following another hitch with SCA, degrees at Cornell and MIT, and years of work in environmental policy, today Ellen is a nationally recognized expert in housing-based environmental health threats, indoor air quality and lead poisoning prevention.
Callahan Mayer-Marks is 17 and hails from Tacoma Parks, MD. She served on a community crew last year but ever since her older sister came back from a national crew with some amazing pictures from Oregon, Callahan has wanted to venture further from home. Based on her letter below, this will not be her last SCA experience:
On the third weekend of October of this year, the Outdoor Nation San Francisco Summit brought together young outdoorsmen from all over the US to encourage them to lead their peers off of the couch and into the foliage. SCA's Alumni Council gathered at the event to play a special role: Highlighting the fact that an active outdoor lifestyle is the perfect precursor to a career in conservation.

For those of you traditionally considering natural stone outdoors, here's a little something to wrap your peepers around. Handmade Italian Cotto is one of our more specialty products. We source it from an old school Italian cotto factory where each piece is carefully crafted by hand and left to dry out naturally in the sun. In contrast to mass produced flooring alternatives, Eco Outdoor's Antico Luce [ and Notte] Italian handmade cotto tiles are truly special something. The cotto tiles are hand crafted by a small Italian family owned manufacturer who produces them seasonally not unlike the traditional artisan production of wine or olive oil. Each season the kiln is blessed by a priest before work begins; then each tile is handcrafted, kiln fired and left to bake in the sun. At the end of the season the priest returns to bless the kiln as it is closed for the remainder of the year. This cotto range offers a real sense of history and artisan craftsmanship that is truly unique. It's earthen tones and hand worked edges (sometimes showing a finger print) offer a stunning aged "lived in" appearance that is incredibly soft underfoot.
These stunning cotto tiles represent a fresh change from natural stone outdoors.
Check out some images of our stunning Antico handmade cotto here

Muslim Spelling Bee
December 8, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Adil James, TMO
Spelling Bees were made famous by the 2006 movie Aqeelah and the Bee, about a young girl from a bad neighborhood with a talent for spelling, who works hard, finds a teacher to prep her for spelling competitions, and becomes a champion speller.
Tausif Malik, a Chicago entrepreneur from India, perceived a need for a platform of competition in which children could engage from around the world, and chose spelling. He has planned a 10-city national competition in spelling which he eventually hopes will become an international spelling competition open to Muslim students.
"Muslims are not aware of spelling bees because they are focused on" getting their children into engineering or medicine, he said in a recent interview with TMO.
The purpose, he says, of the program is "to get Muslim children into the mainstream." His competition will be held in each city at a Muslim private school, however it will be open to students from private schools, public schools, or home schools, children up to 14 years old.
Mr. Malik expects 500 children per city to compete in the competition, and as yet he has not announced the prizes.
The competition is scheduled to begin in March – May of 2012, it will be a weekend affair in each city.
The competition regions are to include Washington DC, New York City, New Jersey, Orange County California, Chicago, Tampa Florida, Atlanta Georgia, Phoenix Arizona, and Houston Texas.
The entry fee per student will be $50–each student will have to fill out an application and pay the $50 fee online or via check. Once they are registered they will receive a word list, and then on a set day they will arrive at the testing location and take a written test (to screen the applicants and winnow the best of them) and then an oral competition.
Mr. Malik explains that there will be a cash prize, scholarships, college sponsorships, companies giving holiday gifts.
His scheme is to begin with a spelling bee but to expand into other areas, with science competitions, geography bees, math bees–"an Olympiad."
"Muslims have lost education," Mr. Malik argues. "They are getting into stuff that is not worth it–Muslims were creators, innovators." Malik believes his program of competitions will move the Muslim community towards that.

Young People
April 15, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Imam Abdullah El-Amin, MMNS
I am appalled as I learn more and more about some of the antics and activities some of our young adults are engaging in. In what seems to be a quest to be "cool" or "regular", (or what some have the audacity to call "normal") some of our young people are going too far in emulating the ugly low-life they see in in the streets and the media.
I know that every generation looks at their offspring as crazy young kids. My parents used to shake their heads at me too. But I can honestly say that our values and morals were much higher than the young generation today. Even the way the young people dress (and I'm particularly talking about the young men. When I was coming up we prided ourselves on being nicely dressed. We made sure we had creases in our pants and our shoes were shinned. We prided ourselves on wearing nice fabrics and taking care of them.
Nowadays the young men seem to see how bad they can dress. They go all day looking like they just got up out of bed and threw on the first thing they could grab. And the irony of it all is they think they are looking good. It bewilders me how someone can wear jeans with holes and tears in them and some hanging down exposing underwear and say it looks good. Something is definitely wrong mentally if something so ugly can be perceived as being hip and cool.
But that's not all. The level some of them have sank to would boggle the mind of most civil-minded human beings. There are youngsters (males and females) who use profanity that sounds like it comes out of a sewer. There are some choosing places of ill-repute to party and have fun. There are even cases of homosexuality, (males and females, and it seems to be more females than males), and on top of that it is so widespread that sometimes it doesn't get a glance.
Some of these Muslim children have grown up in Muslim homes all their life. Some of them have more Qur'an in their little finger than I have in my whole body. They can recite scripture from memory in beautiful rhythmic tones that make you want to cry listening to it. So why this double life?
In the African- American community there were many reverts to Islam that witnessed some of the same negative lifestyles described above – myself included. So this degenerate lifestyle of this society has no attraction for me and others my age. But the youngsters, growing up in an environment where this type of behavior is forbidden or strongly discouraged, feel the pull to experiment (as all youngsters do). But these days are so dangerous because youngsters have access to so much technology that puts virtually anything decrepit within a finger click away.
10 and 11 year olds are watching hard-core pornography, sinister sadistic murders, and glorifying morally loose lifestyles. It has gotten so bad that some people have given up on them and believe straightening them out is a lost cause. But I don't. I believe we must work even harder pointing out to them the need for them not to stray too far. And we must work even harder to try and be better examples ourselves. Even though that negative media has a strong influence, the strongest influence is you.
I tell you we have a big challenge ahead of us. Some of us have been asleep (including me) but it's time to wake up and get busy. Let us do more Dawah at the dinner table rather than at the masjid. Let's start back being parents instead of friends – which really would be the best friend they could have.
As Salaam alaikum
