I spent a considerable amount of time yesterday tweeting about this article in which John Cusack interviewed Jonathan Turley about the Obama foreign policy and civil liberties record, but I figured I should share it here, too.
You know where I stand on this kind of all-or-nothing, absolutist accountability — what Cusack calls a "Rubicon line" — so I won't get too deeply into the same points I've made over and over. Obviously, I had issues with a couple of the facts presented in the piece, including Cusack's assertion that President Obama ran as an "anti-war" candidate who was opposed to the Afghanistan war. This simply isn't true.
I've read this claim before so I wasn't particularly ruffled until Turley, who, by the way, supported the Citizens United decision, said, "I think that people have to accept that they own this decision, that they can walk away. I realize that this is a tough decision for people but maybe, if enough people walked away, we could finally galvanize people into action to make serious changes." He's suggesting that people not vote — or vote for a third party as a means of enacting a shift from the red/blue paradigm.
In a fantastical world in which we all drive delicious jetpacks made of fudge, this might work. In our world, we have to cope with both immediate and long-term consequences, personal and national, that go along with abandoning one of the two major political parties when, in fact, neither of them particularly need the anti-Obama far-left anyway. They really don't. If far-left progressives depart, the Democrats will tack farther to the right to get the votes. Meanwhile, what happens policy-wise? The Republicans will certainly win more elections, and we can only imagine the awfulness that will follow as the potentially decades-long process of breaking from the current two party red/blue system evolves.
On Twitter, I politely urged Cusack and others to take a "smart accountability" approach with the president: a targeted strategy for convincing more Democratic politicians to adopt progressive causes. Progressives agree with the president and the Democrats on many more things than we disagree (for every apparent trespass on foreign policy, the president has succeed in a dozen other areas with policies that have not only worked, but have drawn us away from the Reaganomics "government is the problem" mantra). Progressive activists just need to coax them a little more by making a strong yet reasonable case, and by convincing voters on the ground that progressive policies work so it's politically safer for Democrats to move leftward. Cusack is certainly erudite on the foreign policy topic and can make a strong case — and the president has shown an aptitude to listen to reasonable opposition, but there's nothing in the president's history that indicates he responds to people who have no interest in participating in a rational policy debate.
Anyway, read the interview yourself and come on back with your thoughts.

The number of tuberculosis cases in the United States has hit an all-time low.
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds a 4% decline in cases between 2012 and 2013.
Although the lung infection is rare, the CDC says some populations are more at risk than others.
TB is higher in racial minority groups and those born in foreign countries.
Although the number of drug-resistant cases remains relatively small, it's a concern because drug-resistant TB is difficult and costly to treat and more often fatal.

Description of Stiga Boost TS
BOOST TS (Tension Sound) is the outstanding choice for offensive players of almost all playing levels who like soft sponge. Boost TS has soft sponge that gives a crisp clear sound when striking the ball. Even though the sponge is soft the rubber generates very good speed. The sponge on Boost TS rubber is softer than the sponge of Boost TC. The sound and feeling of Boost TS is unsurpassed! Boost TS enables offensive players of all abilities to play to their full potential.
Reviews of the Stiga Boost TS
TTKing said this on August 17, 2010:
Such a good rubber. I player super attack and the amount of spin I can put on it is incredible. The speed is good too with shots flying past people. I can't belive the control either, soo easy to use. Just perfect for my game. The sound is amazing as well! Sounds just like speed glue which I loved. The sound helps my timing of the ball and when I hear that crisp sweet noise I know that ball ain't coming back! Not a 10 because someone beat me while I was using it once
Woo said this on August 18, 2010:
Glad to see people liking this rubber and think it plays well. Shows people can make different use of different materials.
For me it didnt play well. The sponge is rediculously soft, lacking all power, giving momentum away. The topsheet seemed to be of very good quality though. I was beating myself up for not getting tp or tx instead.
Anonymous said this on August 25, 2010:
Hi there people.... I play an allround game - I mainly attack but i have a strong chop which I use when neccesary to win points at vital stages in the game. Is the boost ts a good allround rubber ?
Anonymous said this on August 28, 2010:
The boost st is a very good rubber. Its quality speed , incredibly good spin, brilliant control........ overall a fantastic rubber.
wind_comm said this on December 13, 2010:
fantastic speed, spin, control and simply the amazing sound I've come to expect from Stiga (but I'm still amazed at every time. can't wait to try a Calibra Sound). works great in the mid-long distance game and doesn't really give up too much in the short game (especially when matched up with a nice blade)
needs to be broken in a little, but it kind of blows my mind that it can get better. the sponge might be too soft for some people though, seems to match up perfectly to my style.
Khayyal said this on December 29, 2010:
Very wonderful sound. Spin more than good. Fantastic control. A perfect feeling.
Quality rubber . You can use it in both ( forehand and backhand ) It is actually a Fourth butterfly tenergy 05 rubber. What's mean that ??? it's a brilliant rubber and nice. What are you waiting for ???!!!
Jane-Ove Waldner said this on February 17, 2011:
Awesome rubber! One of the the best f/h rubbers I've used!
KingPong23 said this on May 28, 2011:
Very fast when topspin applied! Great catapult effect with a nice kick off the table! Soft loop is easy but pushing and blocking is touchy because of the bounciness of this rubber...fun to play with!
Ian said this on August 10, 2011:
This is DA BOSS. Use it for forhand if you have an offensive blade and still want control on your forehand
ThomasMotter said this on May 10, 2012:
beautiful rubber , very fast but great control . top spins go where you want them to go . feeling is a little more direct compared to tenergy 64 , top spins a little faster , less spinny , but more control then en64 . , throw angle lower. one of the best rubbers i´ve played
zargo2081 said this on September 11, 2012:
Great rubber, i used it in the fh for a year; good control, cool sound, the speed is great but i prefer a rubber fastest. If you hit the ball flatly permanently i dont recomend it, because the sponge is very soft and that kind of power hit cause serious damages in the rubber and reduce his lifetime.
krok707 said this on April 20, 2013:
I would not compare Boost TS with Tenergy because they not so similar. Boost (whichever) has very low angle (T: high), less spin. I had some problems on returning services (not with T), also did not feel so good on short to sort.
I have been admiring J.O.Waldner, but not all the players have his knowledge and "soft" hand - and the Boost rubbers do not forgive the errors. Nevertheless I agree this is a very good rubber - but not for anyone.
Frogger said this on January 2, 2014:
Those that say this rubber is slow need help. This rubber is fast to very fast especially on a composite OFF blade like BTY TBS, Photino etc. Explosive drives and loops. Short game suffers a bit due to catapult which is high. Overall good control. Medium throw with excellent spin on serves and looping at all distances. Speed is same as T64FX. Light weight when cut. A very good glue effect rubber from Stiga. Durability is average or above so use film cover.
prinbark said this on August 12, 2014:
Great control for a tensor rubber. Speed is fast. Mild and hard chops are deadly. Looping is very easy. Less effort applied on looping chops. Creates a loud ''tok'' soung when hitting hard topspins and drives. Using this on my bh, max.
Amigo said this on October 4, 2014:
Much is said about this rubber so no point going in details.
Beautiflul conction between top sheet and sponge. Superb BH control rubber which is not easy to bottom out at all. Great product from Stiga. Back in the day Stiga was not all that great in producing rubbers but nowdays they are great. |

7 Artists Who've 'Sexified' Their Music And Image
The Artist: Miley Cyrus
Her Original Image: At the beginning of her singing career, Miley was best known for her role on the Disney Channel's hit show, Hannah Montana. So a lot of her music reflected that image and was decidedly poppy. Even her third album, 2010's Can't Be Tamed, was pretty, well, tame.
How She Changed It: In early 2012, Miley cut off all her hair and made it a point to let everyone know that she was changing her image along with her look. Then, in early 2013, she started working closely with hip-hop producer Mike WiLL Made It and changed up her previous sound. Of course, her performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards pretty much cemented the fact that she was "sexifying" everything about her act.

Ottawa's Craft Beer Scene
Whether you're brand new to the craft beer scene or you're an experienced connoisseur, Ottawa's bursting craft brewery scene is sure to surprise and delight. From emerging breweries, to beer festivals and special events, Ottawa's craft beer scene continues to thrive and grow, offering a vast array of brews and interesting places to enjoy them!
Brew Donkey
If you're looking for an initiation to the local craft beer scene or if you're looking to simply broaden your beer horizons, a Brew Donkey tasting tour is a must! These tours typically take place on the weekend and have a duration of 5 hours with a complimentary snack at the end at either a brewpub or a craft beer bar.
Hop on the Brew Donkey bus from a central, west or east Ottawa area pick-up location. While you're on the bus, learn about the different ingredients used to make beer. Once you get off the bus, visit with local craft brewers and the best part, enjoy free samples of their trademark or new beers! Brew Donkey tour prices range from $70 to $75 per person. (Brew Donkey also offers a craft beer delivery service for Ottawa residents.)
New for summer 2014! Brew Donkey will offer a shorter, visitor-friendly tour option during the week with pick-up available from a central downtown location, close to many hotels.
Mill Street Brew Pub Ottawa
Mill Street Brew Pub opened in January 2012 and is located on the banks of the Ottawa River inside a 170-year-old historic grist mill, just steps away from the Canadian War Museum. Complimentary evening brewery tours are offered daily, while 14 craft beers are available on tap. Mill Street Brew Pub's beers are only available in Ottawa and reflect the traditions, culture and history of the area. For example, Mill Street's Portage Ale is made in the style of LeBreton Flats breweries from the 19th and 20th centuries.
This building has a lot of historic charm and is a great place to be on Thursday nights when live bands perform and Mill Street offers its Cask & Cheese evening. Sample local artisan cheese paired with great craft beer! Also during the summer months, enjoy your beer on Mill Street's patio. Take in the summer air and enjoy your beer while the constant, relaxing bubbling of the Ottawa River plays on in the background.
Clocktower Brew Pub
There are 4 Clocktower Brew Pub locations in Ottawa, which makes good craft beer only a few steps away! Clocktower's flagship beer is Kölsch, which offers an aroma of cereal grains with a light floral note at the end. Kölsch is perfect for those who are experimenting with craft beer for the first time! Clocktower is also known for its Pumpkin Ale –a local pumpkin-flavoured favourite that is only available in the fall. The original Clocktower location is at 575 Bank Street in the Glebe, the second location is at 422 Mackay Street in New Edinburgh, the third location is at 89 Clarence Street in the ByWard Market neighbourhood and the newest location is at 418 Richmond Road in Westboro.
The 3 Brewers
This restaurant and microbrewery is located at 240 Sparks Street, close to most of Ottawa's downtown hotels and offers 5 "classic" brews, as well as a special monthly brew. The 3 Brewers menu offers an array of gourmet dishes that can be paired with its blonde, amber, white, brown and IPA brews. With its large windows, this bright and airy establishment allows patrons to enjoy great craft beer while watching the hustle and bustle of Sparks Street, one of Ottawa's most significant heritage streets.
Big Rig Brewing Company
Located in Ottawa's west end, Big Rig Brewery and brewpub is co-owned by Ottawa Senators player Chris Phillips. The name is actually based on Phillips' nickname: Big Rig. At Big Rig, craft beer lovers can choose from a selection of 16 different craft beers all in one place! The brewery's flagship beer is Big Rig Gold, which uses Canadian and German malts.
Kichesippi Beer Co.
Named after the original Aboriginal moniker for the Ottawa River, Kichesippi is located just south of Ottawa's Westboro Village neighbourhood. This brewery is dedicated to brewing craft beer in Ottawa for Ottawa. Its signature Natural Blonde beer can only be found in the region. Free brewery tours are offered every Saturday at 2 p.m.
Beyond The Pale
This brewery, which is not quite 2-years-old, is located in Ottawa's trendy Hintonburg neighbourhood, just minutes west of downtown Ottawa. Beyond The Pale offers different types of craft beer, including the creatively named Party Animal and Imperial Super Guy. Becoming popular in a short time, this nanobrewery tries hard to keep up with the demands for its craft brew! We hear a move to larger Beyond The Pale premises in the neighbourhood may be coming soon.
Beau's All Natural Brewing Company
Visiting from Montreal? Stop at Beau's in Vankleek Hill, located at about an hour's drive east of Ottawa, which might be on your way into the city. Beau's is a family-run business and is one of the largest craft breweries in the Ottawa area. Beau's offers more than 13 different craft beers on a regular basis, as well as a series of special seasonal brews. Their signature brew, Lug Tread Lagered Ale, is deliciously refreshing and has won several awards, including Best Beer in Ontario at the Golden Taps Awards!
More recently, Beau's has teamed up with Ottawa-born comic Tom Green to produce a milk stout called The Tom Green Beer! Jimmy Fallon raved about the beer when Tom appeared on his show.
Beau's offers brewery tours daily, as well as merchandise including their popular hockey jerseys. Beau's brewery also hosts the annual Oktoberfest, one of the region's biggest beer festivals. This festival offers Bavarian-inspired food provided by some of the best restaurants in Ottawa, Beau's Oktoberfest beer, live music and family activities. It takes place from October 3-4, 2014. Beau's beer can be found and enjoyed at many of Ottawa's restaurants and throughout Ontario. By the summer, New York residents will also be able to enjoy Beau's beer as the company begins its expansion into the U.S.!

Is anyone else caught up in this one?
Last summer ours failed, leaving us stranded in the desert in 110° heat, miles from the closest town. Thankfully we were able to use the cell phone and call our son. It was determined the plastic manifold was at fault and it was replaced. Later, we had a notice in the mail from Ford. When we contacted the dealership where we bought the car and had replaced the manifold, they told us our 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis was out of warranty and they would not refund the cost of the replacement manifold. A 1997 model wouldn't still be under the original warrenty, would it? And the only extended warranty they talk about is the one Ford is giving under certain circumstances. Am I just SOL on this one? I wouldn't be upset except had our cell phone not worked that day, we senior citizens would have surely died by the side of the road. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ford Manifold Settlement
Follow-Up Postings:
There is no doubt that you will have to apply the pressure, record work orders, names, dates, all info, and really learn on Ford. They may succumb...or they may not, IMO, rightfully.. They should know better about using plastics in this environment, its is far too risky..And maybe it was something else, not the plastic directly(but this matters not to the car-owner).... I read that the warranty was extended to 7 years; after that the consumer pays for his mistake ?? IF this manifold was such a serious problem, Ford should have notified all of the owners of the plastic manifold cars for at least inspection and advice, but then this would have ended up as being the free replacement of manifolds.. |

Keeping a group of children engaged in story time can be challenging..
The next time you are preparing to read a story, try these ideas for getting children and keeping them involved in the reading process…
Repeated illustrations…
At times you will find that the illustration located on the front cover of a children's picture book will be repeated again and look exactly the same or almost exactly the same on a page inside the book.
For example, on the cover of this book the little boy is dropping a seed…
- Show the children the front cover and talk about the picture on the cover.
- Make sure all the children get to take a good look so they can remember what the picture looks like.
- Ask the children to tell you about what they see on the cover of the book.
- Tell the children that as you read the book, they will see this exact same picture again on a new page and when they see that picture, to hold up their hands high to let you know.
Looking for illustrated action
For this read-aloud attention getter, you will help the children identify the action that is taking place on the cover of the book. As you read the book aloud, invite the children to see if they can identify the same action somewhere inside the book.
For example, on the cover of this book the frog is chasing a butterfly.
A few pages later, the frog is chasing another butterfly…
And once again, the children will notice that the frog is chasing another butterfly.
On the cover of this book, Curious George is putting on a pair of boots…
Invite the children to tell you what they think Curious George is up to on the cover of this book. Then invite the children to keep an eye out to see if Curious George does this action in the book…
Counting objects or identifying objects
For this read-aloud attention getter, you will help the children identify specific objects that are on the cover of the book. The children can name the objects and count the number of objects…
For example, on the cover of this book are five people chasing five objects…
Ask the children to count the number of people and objects or to identify the name of each object on the book cover. Then invite the children to keep an eye out for the same number of objects (or the exact same objects) to appear on a page of the book as you read the story.
Positional illustrations
For this read-aloud attention getter, you will encourage the children to identify where an object is located on the cover of the book. Then you will encourage the children to identify the object in that same location somewhere within the pages of the book.
For example…
On the cover of this book, the child is holding a book on top of his head…
On a page in this book, the child is holding the book on top of his head again but what is different this time?
The objective
The objective is to use the illustrations on the cover to capture the attention of your preschoolers and keep them engaged in the story as you read aloud. For children who struggle sitting and listening, these kinds of ideas may help them stay more engaged throughout the story.
Please Note: The most important part of successfully reading aloud to children is to begin with selecting quality and age appropriate books as well as practicing good read-aloud skills which you can learn more about by clicking here!

129 Dedman to Chifley Cablegram IT0261 GENEVA, 7 August 1947, 8.05 p.m. Received 8 August 1947
Last night Clayton made an offer of a reduction of 25% in the existing wool duty. [1]
I expressed my profound surprise and disappointment and informed him that personally I could not see in such an offer the basis for a satisfactory agreement between Australia and United States of America. I emphasised that Australia was being asked to make reductions over a wide range of its protective tariff and to accept loss of some preferential margins enjoyed in other Commonwealth markets and that it was politically impossible to justify such sacrifices in absence of a satisfactory offer on wool. I stated also that with passage of recent wool price support bill, maintenance of duty was no longer necessary to protect United States domestic producer.
Clayton replied along following lines- 1. That this offer represented an act of great political courage by United States administration and represented absolute limit to which they were prepared go.
2. That it had to be considered against background of recent wool bill controversy, i.e. that as a result of administration's efforts we were being offered a 25% reduction instead of a substantial increase or an import quota.
3. That it should not be considered in isolation from general United States offers and that Australia would benefit from general expansion of imports into United States and from resultant increase in available dollars.
4. That if this offer were rejected United States administration would have no incentive to oppose pressure from wool interests for increased duties and that when present price support measure ran out next year such an increase would certainly be sought by wool interest.
5. That if Australia rejected this offer it would have to take responsibility for breakdown which if it spread would do harm not merely to Australia but to other Commonwealth countries particularly United Kingdom and to world generally.
To this I replied that we appreciated the effort that they had made but the fact was that the offer was inadequate on economic grounds and no answer to our own political problems. So far as responsibility was concerned this must lie with the party which had failed to make a reasonable offer but we would accept responsibility for any decision we made.
Clayton then asked whether he could take it that we were not prepared to negotiate on basis of their offers including the wool reduction now proposed. I replied that such a decision was clearly one for the Government and I would communicate with you immediately but that personally I could hold out little hope that we would be able to find a satisfactory basis for an agreement on these offers.
Our impression was that the offer represented the limit of Clayton's authority and that he genuinely thought it a good offer.
The immediate question is what reply shall I make to Clayton's offer on behalf of the Government. Alternatives seem to be as follows-
Alternative 1 To reject the offer and face the fact that it might mean a breaking off of negotiations. This could be very readily considered under normal conditions but I fear we have to face the fact that conditions are not normal. The following factors have to be considered- (A) It would detrimentally affect work on the Charter.
(B) It must, because of preferences, affect trade agreement negotiations between United States of America on one hand and United Kingdom and Canada on the other.
Difficult position of United Kingdom with her commitments re preferences under loan agreement and importance she attaches to an agreement with United States of America would have to be taken into account.
(C) If nothing is done, the present 34 cents remains and remains unbound. When the matter of price support is up for review at end 1948, duty might be increased.
Alternative 2 To accept offer and seek to work out an agreement in which offers made by us, and reductions in margins of preference, would be sufficiently light to be commensurate with low wool offer, i.e. to make a much less significant agreement than that contemplated. On face of it, bilateral agreement between Australia and United States of America in which concessions on both sides (including reductions of preferences enjoyed by us in United Kingdom and Canada) are light seems feasible. Here the main difficulty is that we are required to adopt principle of limiting the preferential system. This might be attacked more than the actual reductions which would, under the circumstances, be minor individual commodities. In answering criticism on principle it would be difficult to sustain the case that compensating advantages were being obtained in International field when American wool duties remained as high as 25 1/2 cents although actual loss from accepting this limitation may not be great.
Alternative 3 To make a counter offer to theirs asking for something greater than 8 1/2 cents, but something less than 17 cents (say 12 to 14 cents) and also asking for improved offers on beef and butter.
This alternative would have advantage that it would put next move back with United States of America and if a break came it could be claimed that it was because United States America would not accept a reasonable proposal from us. If this alternative is adopted I would require to be advised as to minimum reduction acceptable to Australia.
Alternative 4 To sound them out on other alternatives such as 8 1/2 cents now and further reductions during next two or three years and i[n] association with such an arrangement to make an agreement between Commodity Credit Corporation and Joint Organ[isation] [2] for reserve prices (to operate on present J.O. principles or something specially provided) for two years after present price supply ceases in December, 1948. Meantime to consider a long term international wool scheme. Other possibilities could be explored including replacement of a specific rate by an ad valorem rate though such a replacement would have to be given careful examination before we put it forward. It is difficult to say how they would react to such a proposal as our impression is that their whole concern is at present based on politics and anything devised would have to present a clear cut proposition to their growers. The growers want duties because they think they will hold-they fear subsidies will not. Any plan therefore would have to provide security they see in duties.
My feeling is that reply to Clayton should be along lines of alternative 3, but that I should leave way open to explore possibilities envisaged in alternative 4. I should be glad have your advice on this.
If you wish to give serious consideration to alternative 1 I think it would be valuable for me to discuss implications of it with Sir Stafford Cripps in London before the final decision is taken.

The axe has been dropped.
Networks fret each season over which show will hit the chopping block. According to Entertainment Weekly, this season's first cancelled show is CBS's "Made in Jersey."
But why do networks make these quick decisions? "Jersey"'s low viewership is the biggest factor for the show's cancellation, and only two episodes aired.
Nielsen, an entertainment-viewing pollster, uses two different methods to determine the amount of people watching any given show, according to Nielsen Media's website. Families receive either a Nielsen box to hook up to their TV or a journal to document their viewing for a given week.
Once the information is gathered, two different percentages are computed: the rating and the share.
Ratings are determined by dividing the number of households tuned into a certain program by the number of households with a television. For example, if 1,000,000 people in the country have a television and 50,000 tune into this evening's fascinating "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," then the rating equals 50,000/1,000,000, or .05 percent.
Shares are determined the same way. The number of people watching a particular program is divided by the amount of televisions watching anything during the observed timeslot. For example, if 700,000 of those hypothetical 1,000,000 televisions are on and 50,000 televisions are tuned to "Honey Boo Boo," then the share is 50,000/700,000, or .07 percent.
Network heads often discuss ratings and shares by demographic, and the most coveted and ad friendly demographic of all is the 18-49 age group.
So how is your favorite show faring? Each ratings point in the weekly polls is equal to 1,142,000 homes watching any given program. Here is the outlook for the big four networks based on the second week of fall programming (Oct. 1-Oct. 7):
According to BusinessWeek, ABC's highest rated show was "Dancing with the Stars," with an 8.2 rating and a 12 share. Three ABC dramas ranked within the list's top 25: "Grey's Anatomy," "Castle" and "Once Upon a Time."
The drama "Last Resort" is performing OK, according to Entertainment Weekly, but the channel might look to jump ship with new dramas set to premiere in January.
NFL games are driving NBC right now, according to BusinessWeek. None of NBC's scripted shows managed to reach the top 25.
The only non-NFL event to place was the singing competition "The Voice" with a 7.4 rating and an 11 share.
Despite the lower ratings, NBC continues to do well the 18-49 demographic, according to a New York Times blog. The channel recently renewed well off, but not stellar, series "Revolution," "The New Normal" and "Go On" for full first seasons.
Beyond "Jersey"'s cancellation, CBS did well on BusinessWeek's list. Comedies "The Big Bang Theory" and "2 Broke Girls" placed fourth and 23rd on the list, respectively. The new drama "Elementary" and returning "Blue Bloods" drama also placed in the top 25 among others.
CBS took the week's top spot with a new "NCIS" episode, which earned an 11.6 rating and an 18 share.
FOX is in a situation similar to NBC. However, the channel doesn't have the luxury of broadcasting NBC's highly rated NFL games. The only FOX show to place was the singing competition, "The X Factor," with a 5.8 rating and a 9 share.
"The Mob Doctor," a new drama series on the network, went from a 1.3 rating in its first week to a 1.0 in its second. According to Entertainment Weekly, "The Mob Doctor" could be the next one to go.

The Who
With The Beatles and the Stones battling it out for the gold and silver, a no-holds-barred contest for third place on the podium of '60s British rock saw The Who emerge triumphant after overcoming tough competition from The Kinks and The Small Faces. In Pete Townshend they had a songwriter of genius who was brilliantly able to distil the teenage experience.
Enhanced by Roger Daltrey's explosively stuttering vocal, never has inarticulate, adolescent angst been more eloquently expressed than on 1965's "My Generation". It was followed by further extraordinary slices of three-minute pop magic as singles such as "Substitute", "I'm A Boy" and "Happy Jack" also showed Townshend's willingness to tackle unusual subject matter.
But his songwriting ambitions extended even further. A Quick One (1966) found him beginning to exploit the potential of the album format to create entire, self-contained song cycles. But the big one was 1969's Tommy, a full-blown rock opera of staggering scope and brilliant execution.
Meanwhile, The Who had also developed into one of the world's most dynamic live acts with a jagged undertow of violence, the thermo-nuclear rhythm section of Keith Moon and John Entwistle potently underpinning the theatrics of Daltrey's mike-swinging and Townshend's windmill guitar.
But the real question was: could they follow Tommy? They took their time, but after the dazzling Who's Next (1971), they matched their magnum opus with a second, equally successful rock opera in 1973's Quadrophenia. After that, solo albums and film projects dissipated the group's energies and the death of Moon in 1978 was effectively the end, although they soldiered on for a while with ex-Faces drummer Kenny Jones.
In later years they reformed, losing Entwistle to a heart-attack on the eve of a US tour in 2002. But Townshend, who has remained one of the most thoughtful men in rock, is said to be contemplating a new Who album with
Daltrey in 2005.
Key Works
Townshend's ambitious fable about the 'deaf, dumb and blind kid' wasn't the first rock opera, but it defined the form. An imaginative plot peopled with fascinating characters helped. But it couldn't have worked if the songs weren't also memorable enough to stand on their own.
Live at Leeds
Conceived as a holding operation while Townshend figured out how to follow Tommy, Live At Leeds turned out to be one of the seminal live albums. The original release was good enough. The expanded edition featuring the entire two-hour set is even better.
Who's Next
After Tommy, Townshend toyed with another rock opera called Lifehouse. He gave up halfway through and opted simply for a straightforward album of the best songs in his locker at the time. They included "Baba O'Reilly",
"Behind Blue Eyes" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" and the result was a masterpiece.
To record one successful rock opera was achievement enough. To pull it off twice was little short of amazing. Some will tell you Quadrophenia is even better than Tommy and, with songs such as "Real Me", "5:15" and "Love Reign O'er Me", they may be right.
30 Years Of Maximum R&B
Virtually the collected works compressed into four CDs. 95 tracks cover the early singles, the rock opera years and the glory that was The Who live, with the best-known tracks augmented with plenty of B-sides, out-takes, radio broadcasts and other rarities.

Giving Prescription Medicines to Your Child
Your child is sick, and in front of you is medicine prescribed by his pediatrician. Many parents have been in this situation, but before you start treatment, make sure you are familiar with the information on the label, dosage instructions, and potential side effects.
There is a lot of information printed on that small medicine label. When the pharmacist hands you the medicine, pay particular attention to the:
- Name on the label and name of the medicine. Make sure you were given the right prescription for your child.
- Strength of the medicine.
- Dosage showing how much to take and how often to take it.
- Special instructions and warnings
- Number of refills
Before leaving the pharmacy, check the medicine itself. Does the type of medicine (liquid or tablet) match what the doctor talked about? If it is a tablet, does the size and color look correct? If you are unsure, check with the pharmacist. While the pharmacy staff takes steps to avoid medication mistakes, they do occur on rare occasions. It is better to ask if you have any doubts.

Watch the full interview with Kevin on West Ham TV by clicking here.
Kevin, how would you sum up the season in a few words?
KN - "Fantastic, especially when two years ago we were relegated. I'm delighted, it's been successful and well deserved."
What was your highlight?
KN - "There's been a few, I must admit. The first game of the season, being back in the Premier League scoring goals, that was a good day. But I just think the whole season throughout, the way we've handled it, has been fantastic."
What are your plans for the summer?
KN - "I've got a couple of weddings to go to in the summer. Ones in Aruba, so I'm looking forward to that. Then I'll go away with the kids, and one with all my boys from back in Liverpool. I'm going to enjoy it because it's been a good season and I'll be ready and raring to go for next year when we come back in on 1 July."

Q&A with Travis Egedy of Pictureplane
Categories: Profiles
Warren Bedell |
A native of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Travis Egedy, who performs under the name Pictureplane, has been rapidly gaining the attention of popular underground bands from around the country for the last few years, most notably HEALTH who took Pictureplane on a national tour in March 2009. HEALTH was also instrumental in Egedy's signing to the Lovepump United imprint. Because of this, Egedy has also received a decent amount of national press including recent interviews in Pitchfork and Fader, as well as write-ups in Stereogum. Pictureplane's combination of house, dance music and noise is noteworthy for its warm, uplifting tones and an ability to bring the listener along for a ride to a new era where everyone realizes his or her dreams. The recently released Dark Rift is perhaps less experimental than its predecessor, Turquoise Trail, but it represents a major step in the development of one of the Denver scene's most significant musical projects. We had a chance to sit down with Egedy in advance of his tour kickoff show tomorrow evening to talk about his background and the ideas behind his music. Read the full interview after the jump.
Westword (Tom Murphy): Why did you call your new album Dark Rift?
Travis Egedy: It's a term that describes a finite area within our Milky Way galaxy that our planet cycles during our long cycle of 26,000 years.
WW: One cycle of precession, right?
TE: Right. Ancient cultures would talk about this being an enormous event with implications for our planet in terms of gravitation, consciousness and transformation of DNA and crazy things. The album was about that but in a positive way. Going through this dark rift is a cleansing period of time when we remember who we truly are. There's a simple lyric in the song "Dark Rift": "Black world, they've got your girl tonight/enter into the dark rift so I can feel alright." It's about coming back the real.
WW: How did you first become familiar with these types of ideas?
TE: I feel like I've always had a natural inclination toward the mystical side. Even before I knew what that meant, I was drawn toward it. Over the past few years, I've been introduced to 2012 and spirituality and reading books on the occult. I've been really fascinated with everything like that. I've always been attracted to the alternative of everything, especially history. Even in high school, I wasn't buying what they were giving me. The specific book that changed my life [in that regard] was 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck. It's his personal story of becoming aware of these things.

Although *some* trailing berries, like thorny Boysens & a few of the newer hybrids can thrive in colder parts of zone 7 and up, many are not winter hardy even in mild winters - as several posters here have noted in Maryland and similar climates. However, it seems that, since they are "trailing" by definition, they'd be easy to mulch over winter. If you let the primocanes trail the first season, then, mulch them somehow, can you overwinter them, then trellis them up in spring? Has anyone tried this with any degree of success? My thoguht process is as follows: Fall - new canes trail along ground. Toss some burlap or thick row cover over them, and pile on some shredded leaves about a foot deep. This should protect them from deep freezes, but still allow gradual cooling (as the ground itself cools) to a point where any required winter chilling could occur. Spring - around the time of the last hard freeze (low 20s or colder), about late March here, uncover and trellis the canes. Lather, rinse, repeat. |
Follow-Up Postings:

I have, and it works to cover them with leaves after staking them to ground underneath- hold leaves in place with chicken wire or netting- not tarp. Bait or trap out rodents. |
- Posted by hairmetal4ever Z7 MD (My Page) on Tue, Nov 12, 13 at 16:48
It does puzzle me that blackberries (even the Eastern erect ones) have so many issues w/cold hardiness, when even growing up in Northeastern Ohio (z5b) we had wild ones that fruited every year, even after the winters of '85 and '94. A - are wild eastern blackberries hardier than even the erect types? |
- Posted by harvestman 6 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 12, 13 at 18:23
When we had a test winter here and temps went below -20 there were stands of natives that were frozen to the ground- not sure how far below -20. But you are right, they do tend to be hardier than named varieties- and thornier too. They also have a slightly bitter back taste to my palate but are still tasty. |
I'm trying to overwinter my trailing blackberries this year using the Argibon AG-50 (1.5oz) row covers as protection. I'll report back on how mine do this winter - I have most of the following varieties planted in the ground since last spring: Marionberry, Boysenberry, Siskiyou, Obsidian, Loganberry, Black Diamond, Newberry (potted), Silvan(potted) and Kotata. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get the Marionberries to survive. I'm going to have our first low 20F's temperature this season tonight and it snowed last night too. |

jtburton, I used heavy agribon double layer one year on my figs and it didn't provide much protection. At some point I put a temperature gauge under it and it was no different from ambient air. Hair metal, I protected western blackberries both by leaves and by aluminum bubble wrap insulation. Leaves work for protection but on a 12' cane if there was even a couple inches popping out in one spot the cane would die there and then you lose all the rest of it. Hopefully your row cover will help keep all the canes down; its doesn't provide much winter protection but it physically keeps the canes down. The covering that worked best by far was the aluminum bubble wrap. Since it was a full cover I could get all the canes to stay on it, and it provided more protection since it was a better insulator. I used ground staples to hold it down. I successfully protected my Marions with it. At some point however I got tired of putting on and taking off covers so I switched to more hardy kinds. Kotata, Black Diamond, and Siskiyou are hardy in Maryland based on my experience. Scott |
Yeah I'm only going to protect one this year, and if the other can't make it, I'll too will switch to more hardier cultivars. I think part of the problem is the thawing and freezing. I wonder if you painted the canes white, if that would help? Mine are kind of in shade now with the low sun, so may not go through the thaws and freezes that I think is the real problem. The tissues expand in the heat, then become frozen. |
- Posted by milehighgirl CO USDA 5B/Sunset 2B (My Page) on Tue, Nov 12, 13 at 23:59
Scott, Thanks for the input on aluminum bubble wrap. I will get mine covered with it. I was going to use leaves but if they aren't a good enough protection I'm glad to know. I have a roll of bubble wrap already so no sweat. This is my first year with blackberries. |
- Posted by hairmetal4ever Z7 MD (My Page) on Wed, Nov 13, 13 at 10:15
Scott - do Kotata, Black Diamond, and Siskiyou have a flavor more like a Boysen or is it different/better? I assume they're different than Eastern berries, which I do like a lot, but I've never tried a fresh "western" blackberry, except a Boysenberry. |
I looked for the bubble wrap before buying the agribon row covers but the widest roll I could find was 4ft, which wasn't wide enough to cover most of my plants with a contiguous piece. I may firm up their coverage after finding one of the Marions half uncovered after a low 20's freeze last night. Not a good way to start the overwintering process. My plants are on a north-facing slope and next to woods which seem to protect them from the freeze and thaw cycles somewhat. It also blocks some of the wind from hitting them. |

One can get very ambitious about winter-protecting tender items when catalog shopping, but after a few years it becomes tedious, or one has an illness or absence from home for travel, family emergency, etc., and the poor plants get neglected. Better to plant something that can fend for itself. Northwoodswis |
- Posted by scottfsmith 6B-7A-MD (My Page) on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 8:54
Hairmetal, Kotata and Siskiyou are more in the Loganberry camp: they have a large clove/raspberry component and in a blind taste you would probably not call them a blackberry. Black Diamond is strongly in the Marionberry camp. Oh, another one that I like is Newberry, its the tastiest but is even more like raspberry. I only had one winter test for it so am not sure how it will end up doing. None of these varieties like heat or have much tolerance for drying out, and even with the more cold-tolerant plants they are a challenge (the borers are not helping either). jburton, it sounds like you are not laying the canes on the ground? I used a 2' wide piece because I laid all the canes on the ground. If you are not putting them on the ground I doubt you will have any canes alive next spring. Scott |
"Better to plant something that can fend for itself." I agree, I'm going to protect my wyeberry just because it is rare. Not a super great tasting hybrid, but still I hate for a rare plant to be lost. It's small too this first year having only 3 canes a few feet long. it was only 2 inches high when i got it. If the other hybrids die I will replace with something else. Some info on Lock Ness Of course they always make them sound great, but it should be hardy, and is thornless, so is worth a trial run i would think? |
This post was edited by Drew51 on Thu, Nov 14, 13 at 9:16
Scott, Generally, I'm laying the trailing canes on the ground but a couple of them just won't lay flat. The black diamond won't and the marionberry plants are so large that I can't get them compacted enough to lay flat. I'm thinking about buying a couple of bales of straw and covering them with a layer straw and then use the row cover to cover them and hold the straw in place. Yeah, this overwintering effort is kind of a pain but I like the challenge. |
jburton, There may be a reason not to, but could you use leaves instead of straw? In my area, fall leaves are abundant and free. I bury my pots in leaves for the winter. But that may be different than burying your canes. I think I may have read about other people complaining about rodents? |
- Posted by milehighgirl CO USDA 5B/Sunset 2B (My Page) on Sat, Nov 16, 13 at 0:15
lsoh, I am definitely one of those that complained about rodents. I lost more than $500.00 worth of plants, and in all honesty it was probably closer to $1000.00. I put the pots in a ditch and filled it in with leaves. The next spring I had arrows for trees; sharpened to a nice point. The only one that they didn't seem to like was the medlar, and I understand that. |
milehighgirl, I wonder what the difference is? I've only been doing this since 2010 so maybe I've just been lucky, We have pests including mice, chipmunks, squirrels, and moles. I pile leaves a couple inches deeper than the pots, but I don't bury the plants themselves. So far, I've seen no sign of rodent damage. Hope it stays that way. I'm trying to figure out if there's a difference in our approaches. Did you bury the acutal plants as well? Any other ideas? Thanks. |
- Posted by milehighgirl CO USDA 5B/Sunset 2B (My Page) on Sat, Nov 16, 13 at 2:06
lsoh, I was digging holes for my new orchard and the last row was supposed to be for my grapes but the ground froze and I couldn't finish. I put all the pots in this ditch that was deep enough for a 5 or 10 gallon pot. Between the pots I filled it up with leaves. The only plants that survived were the ones that I didn't bury as deeply and the leaves did not cover the tops of the pots. The mice had themselves a nice and cozy winter home with food available 24/7. They left the exposed trunks alone because the didn't want to go out in the cold. Of course those are the plants that I thought wouldn't make it. This qualifies for Newbie Gardener of the Year Award! On a side note, I made a cage out of remesh and filled it up with leaves to protect a couple of my new peach trees and these were undisturbed. My reasoning is that the peach trees were secluded and the mice would have had to leave the warmth and traverse across snow. I think it was the ditch that exacerbated the problem. The ditch was about 40 feet long and filled to the brim with all my prized acquisitions. What zone are you in? |
Milehigh, Thanks for sharing that, I feel much better about losing $30.00 here $20.00 there... If you want to keep the rodents away a few things you can try. Add moth balls around the area. They are cheap too. Use the repellents they sell. Spray area with caster oil. It will get on their fur, they will lick it off, and well it's a laxative, they will excuse themselves from the area quickly. |

milehighgirl and drew51, Thanks for sharing your ideas. I'm in northern Ohio, zone 5. Now I'm concerned because it sounds like your approach matches mine. But it's likely that my plants wouldn't survive the winter if I didn't insulated the pots. So I don't think I have much choice. |

lsoh, No I don't think they will survive at all. Are you able to garage them or plant them? |
I collected several garbage bags full of pine needles today and used them to insulate the least hardy trailing berry plants. Some plants I'm leaving covered only by the row cover to gauge how effective it is as winter protection. Part of the process is learning what works in my specific location and climate, so I'm fine with some plants losses as long as I gain a better understanding in the process. |
milehighgirl, I can't plant them. Not enough indoor space for them. I've been growing fruits in pots since 2010. That's only 3 winters, and none of those winters have been severe. But so far I've been able to overwinter potted mulberry, gooseberry, blueberry, cherry, and plum plants using this method. I also have 2 blackberries and 1 boysenberry, but I drag them into an unheated workshop for the winter. |
"I've been growing fruits in pots since 2010" I have to move in maybe 5 years, so growing in pots is appealing to me. So I can easily take them with me. Thanks for the ideas on how to do it. "Part of the process is learning what works in my specific location and climate: Same here. I'm covering 2 of 3 canes to my wyeberry and leaving one exposed, just to see if it can tough it out. |
Drew51, My plants are still young and I'm keeping them small. I didn't like the fruit so I ditched the Mulberry and the gooseberries. Of fruiting age I have 1 Cherry, 2 blueberries, and 2 blackberries. This year I harvested nearly a gallon of sweet cherries, 1.25 gallons of blueberries, and a gallon of blackberries. I'm guessing they would be larger and produce more if planted in the ground. Not that I'm an expert, but I've learned much on this forum. Fruitnut grows a ton of stuff in pots. gardenweb's search function seems to limit results to the previous year's posts. However, you can direct google to search a specific site. Check out fruitnut's old posts. Try google searches like this My quick tips would be, Good luck. |
Thanks Isoh, luckily I'm not really a newbie to pot culture. I have almost 4 decades of experience. But it is with tropical plants. Not fruit. So the advice I needed was how to overwinter fruit. Which we discussed a lot in this thread. I figured out soil requirements before GardenWeb existed or anybody ever heard of 5-1-1. Fruitnut and I have talked a lot online. Both of us are members of Dave Wilson Nursery forums, and he is elsewhere too, but these two forums are enough for me. It's kinda like a 2nd baseman now wants to play at third. Most of the skills to do it are there, just some subtle nuances need to be figured out. |

What is the clear liquid leaking from my rear projection tv? It is coming from one of the 3 crt lens assy's... |
Follow-Up Postings:
The "clear liquid" is coolant for the picture tube. If it leaks onto the circuit board, it will corrode the connections and damage the circuit board. If there is no "coolant" the phosphor inside of the picture tube will be burned by the bright electronic beam that makes the picture. This will leave a permanent dark area on the picture tube face. You need to have the set serviced. The lens will need to be cleaned, the "seal" will need to be replaced or repaired & new coolant installed. Meanwhile, place something plastic between the circuit board and the picture tubes to prevent the coolant from getting on the circuit boards. good luck, pw |

Texas Rethinking Its Testing, Curriculum Standards
Submitted by DeMolay on Fri, 04/12/2013 - 15:29The federal No Child Left Behind law was born in Texas, and billionaire Ross Perot first rallied big business to support tougher standardized testing and high school graduation standards here nearly three decades ago.
But the state now appears ready to step back from the strenuous accountability policies it has long been a national leader in championing, amid fears that youngsters are being forced to take too many high-stakes tests and that too many might drop out because of higher expectations. A number of other states are also considering pulling back.
The Texas House has approved 145-2 an education overhaul that cuts the number of high school standardized tests in core subjects from 15 to five. It also creates a base high school diploma that doesn't require Algebra II or high-level math and science courses. A similar bill is pending in the Senate.
"Parents, students, business groups, professional education administrators, school boards, everybody's onboard with this," said the House measure's sponsor, Republican Jimmie Don Aycock, chairman of the chamber's Public Education Committee.
In particular, algebra II should no longer be treated as the "holy grail" of education, said Republican Sen. Dan Patrick, chairman of the Senate Education Committee.

Academically rigorous classes distract from indoctrination
How can they do their community service if they're doing homework? How can they enthusiastically sing "yes we can with Obama" if they're fretting about an upcoming exam? The purpose of public school is to produce obedient subjects and competent workers, while decent education is for the rich who can afford to keep their kids out of the public schools.
Many/most Republicans are on board with dumbing down school so it can concentrate on indoctrination. Neo-con and liberal activists and politicians are finding common ground where they can agree to zero tolerance, statism, gun control, bashing and trashing the Constitution and hating individual liberty.
It's not the testing that's gone too far, it's the dumbing down which has gone too far. U.S. schools shouldn't be adopting "Common Core" and testing against other schools using Common Core, they should be testing and comparing themselves to students around the world. Common Core is an excuse to dramatically lower standards, such as in my state, Massachusetts.
Take back the GOP and Restore America Now.
- Login to post comments
Not only that
but common core ignores the talents, drive, and uniqueness of a student. One kid who is terrible at math may find interest in biology and nature and become a farmer or vet, the other may love to read and become a writer. If public education is to exist it should seek to nurture the child's natural abilities and not assign priority via testing on the subjects deemed most important.

Daft question, but when you do guys actually take your holidays?
We're changing next year to fixed days, but I've been told we can only take a week off during term time so we will have to take some of the summer off.
1 week off whenever I feel like it on a half term. 2 weeks off in summer and 2 weeks off in Christmas term the rest I work.
31 days to take whenever I want to take them (minus however many working days are involved in enforced Christmas shutdown). *shrug*
I was like that when I first moved to full time, then realised I need the time off and took it anyway. Got to do a bit of clever planning and stuff doesn't get in the way during hols. You are owed so many days holiday, you need to take them. Work is never complete as they say.
I'm term-time only +2 weeks, which I can do as and when. I tend to go in at least one day during each holiday and sometimes more. I'll be in and out over the summer, and also updating our school website at home. I've experienced many of the summer disruptions the OP mentions, but I still make sure I take time to enjoy my holiday.
I had too much to do last year and ended up with 13 days holiday not taken, I then subsequently found out that if I didn't take them I'd lose them and I did - so this year I've taken 12 days off regardless of how much work there is to do! (and I've got lot's to do...)
We broke up 2 weeks ago, and there's plenty of milk in the fridges!
Things are going well apart from..
- Contractors turning off the power to buildings without informing us knocking out internet and telephones across the site!
- Summer school in using computers etc so we can't down bits of the network or upgrade IT suites.
@X-13,lawyer up, hit the gym, delete facebookmaybe it's worth speaking to the HT and being a bit assertive about taking your holidays? If you're entitled to them, just claim (truthfully or not) that you're suffering burnout and it's affecting your performance. Failing that, maybe a quiet talk with your Union?
If you're entitled to your holidays, take 'em one way or another. Unless you can get paid extra for not taking them? That might be worth it. "Fine, I'm not taking any holidays, but you'll pay me extra for the 24 days I should've been allowed to take off!"?
I'm Term Time+, right now. So I'm working until Friday evening, and then I'm off for the rest of the summer. I think it's 20 days I work (so basically 4 weeks, not including weekends?).. Or is it 15 days? I forget, actually.. To be honest, school could pull me in more than I'm contracted for and I wouldn't actually notice (or care) because I still get time off most of the time, which refreshes me for the next term. Even working straight through the 1-week half terms is refreshing enough with less staff and no kids in the building.
I should probably find out what I'm on though..

DeCSS Injunction Reversed In CA Case
Re:One possible problem... (480 comments)
but I'm baffled to hear you suggest that there is no source code. There is, it's in C, it's widely available and it's under the GPL no less.
Back when I was downloading DeCSS, and I must admit, I haven't looked at it in nearly a year, all I was able to find, after examining many sites was the executable. Any references to "DeCSS source code" actually pointed to the css_auth package that I refer to in my post which is not a complete DeCSS package. I also remember reading several discussions in which people asked about DeCSS source code and the conclusion was that Jon Johansen had not released it. He may have done so since, but as of about a year ago (after this California suit was brought), it was certainly not as widely available as the DeCSS executable.

Breakfast Topic: What's the least loved class in WoW? {WoW}
Mar 13th 2012 10:39AM My main was a warlock and I played through Wrath absolutlely loving it, being always one that puts more damage on the 25 man raid (remember those?)... but Cataclysm... iuck, made me stop playing it completely.
The damage ramp-up takes too long and on trash mobs, everything is dead before you get a decent amount of damage. On bosses yes, you can put some numbers but it takes so long, and on top of that, you don't get to choose the spec you love, you HAVE to play demo, because is the one that makes more damage (and because everyone will tell you that you *should* play demo), and I'm sorry but demo is one freaking complicated spec.
On top of that, the three specs are SO gear dependant that you will have crappy dps and major frustration issues until you get your T13 4 pieces bonus, and have tons of mastery or tons of haste... oh but don't get too much haste or that will screw you over TOO.
Breakfast Topic: 'Every female WoW player has healed at least once' {WoW}
Mar 12th 2012 9:45AM I started this game years ago as a dps, then tried healing since my raid group needed to, but I ended up loving tanking the most. Dk, pally and druid tanking.
Not all of women (myself included) give a damn about "nurturing" and not all of us are "maternal". I also don't see why healing has to be treated like something "easy" when it is not, specially when MALE dps (I mean, since we are using generalizations) like to stand on things to top the meters.
"Easy", lol.
