Images from The Works of Edmund Spenser, Volume I edited by Professer W. L. Renwick, printed at the Shakespeare Head Press in St Aldates Oxford and published for the press by Basil Blackwell in 1930.
in particular, I have scanned the headings from The Shepherd's Calender (or, as Spenser put it, The Shepheardes Calender).
The decorations were designed and engraved on wood by Hilda Quick, and those in The Shepheardes Calender were based on the woodcuts in the original editions printed in quarto by Hugh Singleton in 1579. The initial letters and the letterings for the title-page and headings were engraved by Hilda Quick from designs by Joscelyne Gaskin.
I am not happy with the way the colours are coming out, and may redo them: the blue is too dark and the yellow too orange.
I do not know the copyright status of these images; when I scanned them I had received some incorrect information. I found a reference to a book illustrated by Hilda Quick and published in 1948, so it looks as if her work is still under copyright, although it may also have been published after her death. In addition, Joscelyne Gaskin died in or after 1992, although I do not know whether she held any part of the copyright. I have marked the images for non-commercial use only.

Day After Facebook IPO, Facebook.com Appears to Be Having Some Problems [Updated]
Facebook is either very slow or it's not even loading for me.Do we have to pay now or be shareholders? @rebeccacoleman
— Peter vT (@PvT) February 2, 2012
A tipster wrote into Betabeat this afternoon to complain about not being able to get into the social network. You know the one? With a valuation in the the neighborhood of a $100 billion and a fancy new IPO filing? "Facebook is so slammed with traffic it's basically nonfunctional #ipoday," the source kvetched, adding, "It's taking forever to load and won't like, work. search etc." In the past twenty minutes, Betabeat has failed to even log on to Facebook three times, before finally getting through. A quick search for "Facebook slow" on Twitter reveals we're not the only ones: Read More

What is surprising is that the old-fashioned book industry has survived for so long. Why resell a text book when you can download a file? Most of the publishing expenses are now unnecessary: paper, printing, warehousing, distribution, stocking, etc. So the intellectual property contained within a book should be far cheaper for everyone than the price of an old-style physical item. Why should anyone pay for the inefficiency of the publishing industry? Everything should be online and priced appropriately. The idea that relatively wealthy Westerners should carry the burden of old-style industries that are too fat & lazy to reform is absurd. Anyone seen a "wealthy" student lately? In any country?
Question. Say you buy a CD. Naturally you can play it at home for your friends visiting. Say you upload one of those songs on FB, where you only connect with friends, and the same friends you would invite home. Would you be allowed to do that in EU ?
Currently this side of the pond we are not apparently, and fb gets in the way.
One can easily feel that this legislation on copyright has far exceeded logic
good. text book sales is one of the biggest, shittiest rackets in the free world.
anyway, who cares, eventually all context will be either given away for free or rented. there will be no sales of any physical media whatsoever.
It was about time: one should bear in mind MNCs sit on piles of cash, and do so because they are able to squeeze customers left and right.
Some rebalancing is only appropriate.
Knowledge and ideas are immaterial, so they can be replicated and shared while physical goods cannot.
Could the Economist enlighten its EU resident readers with a summary of the situation on this issue in what used to be its homeland please!
I personally have been more surprised that enterprising grad students have not put together an open-source textbook yet, at least for well-understood subjects like undergrad mathematics or sciences.
Did the enterprising youth undercut the rather-too-high-price$ being charged by the college bookstore?
for the purposes of learning I see no obstacle.
Yet, if a student requires to cite a textbook or if a lecturer needs to prescribe one, they would probably have to go for well-known texts purely because of reputation. Kinda like how a summary of an article in an academic journal by your classmate would be of no use to you in an assignment compared to the original journal article itself even though they make essentially be the same.
just my opinion.
A shocking decision. Absolutely shocking. What about software sold to students. Can they then resell these to non-students? Etc.

Wow – did you see Adobe coming?
Google Analytics specificLike everyone else it appears, I certainly did not see the announcement of Adobe's acquisition of Omniture for $1.8 billion coming. However, it reminds me of Telefonica's $5.4 billion mind blowing purchase of Lycos in 2000. A good sales person can make it sound like a perfect match and a bargain to boot. Yet for me, it does not appear a good fit…
In recent years (since November 2005 in fact), the web analytics market has been moving away from big, expensive software projects where you pay simply to collect data. The model is now about collecting data for free – computer memory, disk space and processing power are getting cheaper each year. This has been driven mainly by Google, but also adopted by Microsoft (though that failed) and more recently Yahoo.
The model is, collect data for free and instead use your budget on insights – understanding and taking action. Avinash Kaushik has famously been banging this drum since 2004 – he calls it his 10/90 rule i.e. spend 90% of your budget on insights and action and 10% on the technology (for a free product, the 10% is the resource required to implement). And that rule is not just applicable to small business – many Fortune/FTSE 500 companies use Google Analytics.
Is the future orange?
Do you view Adobe's move of paying big bucks for Omniture and its 5000 or so clients, as being in the opposite direction to the market? I am no fortune teller, but I would be happy to place a small wager on where things stand in 5 years – more orange than green…
9 Responses to "Wow – did you see Adobe coming?"
Justyn Says:
January 7th, 2010 at 2:58 pmMy hope is that Adobe will make the insights gleaned from the data collected to be more actionable. In other words, it's not always easy to tell what should be done with the data you get from Google Analytics and other packages. Maybe Adobe will make the discovery of actionable data easier…
Brian Clifton Says:
September 22nd, 2009 at 2:24 pmInterview with Josh James (CEO Omniture) post acquisition:
Unny Says:
September 20th, 2009 at 6:04 amThis was an unexpected buy out. It is not very clear that how is Adobe going to benefit from this. In India for example, it has been difficult to show a cost-benefit analysis on investing on an expensive web analytics tool. so most rely on a free tool like Google Analytics.
Joao Correia Says:
September 18th, 2009 at 11:29 pmOrange or Green a thing is certain: This will bring more awareness to the need of having a proper web analytics strategy in place.
Exciting times ahead for sure.
UX Associates Says:
September 16th, 2009 at 7:04 pmI actually think it is a great synergy (only time will tell on the $1.8B pricetag). Omniture's products expand way beyond web metrics and really focus on end-to-end optimization of all channels (email, search, web, etc.) and bring it in to a unified platform. They have a great recurring revenue stream from the majority of the Internet Retailer Top 500 ranked companies and also do all of the high-end professional services you mention as well. I read that they did $25 million in training for one company alone.
At most compnaies I have worked with, there has always been a big rift between the folks that collect/report data, the folks that develop the insights, and then the people who have to develop/code/design the website. In other words, web designers are not data heads and analytical folks are not creative types. I am anxious to see how Omniture & Adobe can bring these gaps a lot closer together.For example, a designer while designing a landing page for a DVD player campaign will know from within the Adobe tools the best layout, headlines, product images, and all the other elements that are tested & analyized via Omniture. Once that page is launched, it will be self-optimizing based on real-time analytics and adjust design, layout, messaging, etc accordingly.
Lastly, I think that we are just on the forefront of optimizing the web. Many companies live and die by this practice like Google & Amazon, but I am amazed by the number of large e-commerce companies that I know first hand do little or no real optimization – just trial & error by opinion.
Todd Toler Says:
September 16th, 2009 at 2:47 pmDidn't see this coming at all, and still trying to make sense of it. Sure, integration sounds peachy – but at what cost? Certainly getting tied into some proprietary system of content production, value-added hosting (if you accept Test n' Target's ambition to permanently serve content variants to different segments), and reporting is the opposite of our current thinking – which is closer to Avinash's 10/90 rule. After all, we're still in the adolescent stage of understanding the data we have now.
Tim Wilson Says:
September 16th, 2009 at 2:22 pmThe BIG potential I see here is better out-of-the-box integration when it comes to data capture for Flex/Flash/Air applications. It's straightforward today, but tedious. I'm not going to hold my breath that we'll see it, but I'll at least cross my fingers.
Steve Says:
September 16th, 2009 at 1:58 pmI don't think anyone saw this coming. But I think it is great. Adobe has always done a good job of developing and marketing their products into top notch software. The last few years have been no exception.
It will be interesting to see what they turn the omniture analytics product into.
Hopefully, they will offer it for free and compete directly with Google Analytics.
Gerry White Says:
September 16th, 2009 at 11:53 amI never predicted this one, whilst I love Omniture and I love Adobe – would this push much more advanced, adaptive web technology (test and target etc..) into developers hands and so more and more we will see technical web marketing being introduced into sites earlier and more complete.

As my regular readers will already know, I am expecting my second son in January. I have been working on the changes needed to make my apartment ready for my expanding family and my current focuses are Milo's bedroom and the baby's nursery area.
One of the items on my 'To Do List' for the nursery was to either buy or make a baby mobile. I never really put together a proper little nursery space for Milo due to a lack of imagination, energy and time. I refuse to let that happen this time around and so am making a real effort to make a special little space for baby No. 2. My budget to make this happen is pretty tight, what with all the little changes I want to do to the place, so whilst searching through online shops for interesting and colourful baby mobiles, I failed to find anything I liked in my kind of budget. I did however see something I loved out of my budget and I thought hey, I could do that myself. So I did.
I have to point out that whilst I am a jewellery maker, I am not the most experienced of arts and crafts people. I haven't really done much handmade work, outside of my jewellery, since childhood, so this was a bit of a new experience for me. I'm really proud of how the mobile turned out and so I decided to share the method I used to make it in case anyone else out there fancies giving it a go themselves! Because of my lack of experience, there may well be better ways of making this mobile so feel free to adjust the method to something that better suits you, but here are some basics to get you started with...
What you will need...
Felt of your colour choice (make sure the felt is thick enough that it will keep the shape you want with a bit of folding. Very thin felt won't work without extra support.)
Coloured thread to match felt
White thread
Hard surface to cut felt on (I used a hard covered old book because I didn't have a proper board)
Flat nosed pliers
Crimp beads
Step 3: Place stencil on felt and cut around the stencil with the craft knife. Don't worry about making the shape completely perfect, you can rectify any small problems in the next step.
Step 4: Use the scissors to tidy the butterfly shape
Step 5: Fold the butterfly in half
Step 6: Sew loops along the straight edge of the butterfly (around 5mm wide dependent on the size of your butterflies) to secure the two halves together
Step 7: Fold down the wings of the butterfly. If you've found the right thickness of felt then the wings should stay in position once folded
If you use this tutorial to make your own baby mobile please do let me know and feel free to post a photo of it on my Workingberlinmum Facebook page, I'd love to see it.

This will be my second hotel collection mattress that Macy's is switching for me. The first was a pillow top and after a year I was sleeping in a hole. I switched to a tight top and the same thing happened after two years. I only weigh 125. Macys wants me to stay in the Hotel collection. I don't know if I am better off switching to a foam mattress. I don't want to be warm. Can you advise.
Hi Robin,
Macy's Hotel Collection is an exclusive for them. "Exclusive" is another way of saying that it'll cost you more than it's worth because you can't shop for it anywhere else.
Generally, what causes your problem, is that the mattress is too well padded.
And oddly enough, I've had women your size complain about the same thing, while their twice as heavy husbands aren't having that problem on the other half of the mattress.
That particular oddity if because women flair at the hip while men are built more in a straight line. If your dip is at the hip, you may find that is something you'll just have to live with if you sleep on your side.
Firmer mattresses hold their shape better than softer ones do. Also, firmer mattresses tend to sleep cooler. Avoiding mattresses using memory foam will also help you sleep cooler.

Does anyone know if Mormon Tea will work in Arizona on an apartment balcony? Will it bloom with little light in a small garden box? (Also, will it survive?) I'd like to put it in a small 6 x 15 planter and not sure if it will work right? Any, suggestions? |

I have some growing in two 5 gallon pots in my backyard. Not sure if it will bloom with only a few hours of light. My little plants are in full sun. Wish I new where to buy a couple of big plants. |

Underground Tunnels Protect University Students
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28)--Some Eastern Iowa college students aren't letting the cold keep them at home this week.
One school is helping their students avoid the elements between classes.
"If you're running late, you can just throw on a pair of shorts and then you're out. You don't have to walk in the cold," said Mount Mercy University Freshman Dalton Conrad.
"As a runner I use it often. Instead of using the treadmill or running outside, I'll run in the tunnels," said Freshman Evan Bowman.
"It's been here a long time. It was originally designed obviously for the steam tunnels and low and behold it just became walking tunnels as well, said Dean of Admission, Terri Crumley.
Crumley says the underground tunnels have been on campus for decades and they connect to most buildings, making it easy for students to avoid the elements.
They're also a huge part of Mount Mercy culture.
"There are drawings on the walls. Our Freshman class each year actually signs the tunnel walls, said Crumley.
Especially in bitter cold days like this.

'Spring Breakers' Trailer Treats Bikini-Clad Crime Like a Video Game
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 17, 2013 | Comments (2)There's finally a trailer for Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers, proving that it wasn't just an elaborate hoax to turn paparazzi-style beach photos into a development story while watching media outlets figure out the best way to talk about girls in swimwear as if it was the greatest, sluttiest sin they could ever commit. Of course, since the movie isn't out yet, that's still a possibility. Every film festival audience is in on it. As if we haven't been talking about it since what seems like the original spring break, the film stars Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Amber Benson and Rachel Korine in a tale of young women looking for excitement, robbing a restaurant, going to jail and getting bailed out by James Franco with a platinum grill. In other words, it's America shoved into a projector, and it's a good thing the full trailer is finally here because it does more to make the movie look exciting than any of the faux-titillating screen shots could:
The Final Reject Radio: 2012 and the End of Film

The Marvel Model disrupting superhero movies (and how it can survive alongside perpetual reboots). The literal death of film. Megan Ellison saving movies. The sleeper hits of 2012 and a great movie year for every kind of fan. Emerging independent funding. Fans saving shows with their own money. The digital horizon. Here at the end of the year (and the end of this podcast) I've asked FSR associate editor Rob Hunter, Cinema Blend editor-in-chief Katey Rich, Movies.com managing editor Erik Davis and screenwriter Geoff Latulippe (Going the Distance) to talk about the things that will never be the same again in the movie world after 2012.

Ellison Hires Ellison For New 'Terminator' Movie
In Development By Scott Beggs on December 4, 2012 | Comments (4)It's been a long time since we've heard about any forward momentum for the Terminator franchise, and maybe that's for the best. A healthy distance from Terminator: Salvation can be a good thing. Now, Deadline Hollywood is reporting that movement has started again as producer Megan Ellison has tapped her brother David Ellison to work on the next installment in the franchise. Her Annapurna Pictures was always an odd halfway home for the property, although she's earned a lot of goodwill as the backer of art house flicks aplenty. His Skydance Pictures getting involved is a shrewd move because it has a lot of experience in big budget, blockbuster filmmaking, and it has a production deal with Paramount. That major studio could become a great ally in this process; even though there's no deal involving it yet, both Ellisons would be wise to go to Paramount for distribution at the very least. So, let's consider this "earned nepotism." It isn't like Megan is hiring a plumber cousin to produce one of the most beloved franchises of the past half-century; she's partnering with a seasoned producer that could certainly push something through. Let's just hope he doesn't look to his connection with Tom Cruise to do so. Unless he can prove that he can lift a coffin. Then it might work. The bottom line? There's a good chance we could see a new Terminator movie in or by 2015. dlvr.it/2ZfQQr
Blake Lively Out, Rooney Mara In to Lead Steven Soderbergh's 'Side Effects'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 30, 2012 | Comments (2)Here we are, once again, talking about Steven Soderbergh's upcoming thriller about depression and medication, Side Effects. The last time we left our players in this ongoing drama Annapurna Pictures had pulled their funding from the film, reportedly over a kerfuffle about casting. You see, rumor had it that there was some uneasy feelings about Blake Lively playing the lead role in this film, that of a depressed woman who battles addiction and is in the middle of a love triangle involving both her husband and her doctor. Further rumors indicated that there were a whole short-list of actresses that Soderbergh and his people were looking at to replace Lively, and hopefully restore faith in the project. Well, it looks like at least most of those rumors were true. Deadline Bedford is reporting that Lively has been shuffled off the film and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara will now be taking her place as the lead. Seeing as Mara just turned a lot of heads playing a dark, troubled woman and Lively hasn't ever turned too many heads doing anything, this is probably good news for the movie overall.
'Terminator 5' Will Be Rated R, Reaffirming Megan Ellison's Awesomeness
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 27, 2012 | Comments (7)Normally I'm not a very big fan of the way rich people spend their money, but Megan Ellison got in my good graces the minute I heard about her existing by starting up Annapurna Pictures and lending funding to interesting sounding projects like John Hillcoat's Wettest County and Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming Scientology movie. Her star dimmed a bit in my eyes, however, when she picked up the rights to the Terminator franchise with the intentions of making another Terminator feature. Why did this new angel in my life who appeared out of nowhere and started funding artsy films just stab me in the back by continuing a once-beloved franchise that has already been run into the ground? I thought for sure our love affair was over.
Steven Soderbergh's 'Side Effects' Loses Funding Over Casting Conflicts
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentFollowing Steven Soderbergh's career has been a winding road full of ups and downs as of late. First he was going to make The Man From U.N.C.L.E., then there was a long period of juggling actors on that film as he tried to nail down a cast, then that movie got cancelled completely. There has been talk of retirement, talk of pushing off retirement to do more things, and generally just a lot of confusion. Things seemed to have reached a moment of stability a week ago, though, when it was announced that he was going forward with his next film, a thriller called Side Effects, and that it had funding stemming from a partnership between Annapurna Pictures and Open Road Films. That's all up in the air now though, and apparently it comes down to the all too familiar casting woes. Variety is now reporting that Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures has pulled out of the deal, leaving Soderbergh and Open Road to find additional funding on their own. Variety gave no reason as to why the deal fell through, but The Playlist is claiming to have sources close to the situation that say Ellison and her people don't like the casting of Blake Lively in the lead role. She apparently is set to play a drug addict in the middle of a love triangle between her husband (Channing Tatum) and her doctor (Jude Law).

Hi Skye, I saw these on the QVC website. They are called Memory Button Recording Devices. You get 2 for a total of $30.72. Just go to QVC.com and do a search for Scrapbooking. ~Lisa |

I bought a couple of these from a scrapbooking store near me...haven't used them yet, but they looked like they had some possiblities. I was concerned that the weight of the pages might trigger them, but I guess they have a thingee you can put in them so that they only talk when you want them to...$l5.00 is about right for the cost. |
Has anyone tried these? I couldn't find them at QVC. I think it would be great if they work and I can find some. |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Waldo, a Newport Lionhead was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Lionhead for sale in Newport, or seeking a Lionhead from a breeder in Newport.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Newport already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Newport breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Lionhead breeders who help with Lionhead rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Newport paves the way for another one to be saved.

It is our goal to help save these adoptable dogs and adopt them out to loving families. Although our priorities are the retriever breeds, we are not limiting ourselves to retrievers because we know that there are many great dogs that need our help. We are NOT professional trainers or animal behaviorists; simply volunteers who are trying to save these dogs from euthanasia.Our Adoption Process:
We have many wonderful dogs looking for FORever Homes!Our adoption fee covers their complete age-appropriate vetting, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm/flea prevention, and full medical records.

A detailed overview of the Bedrock of the Sheridan District was published by H Robert Burger III in December 1967.
Click Bedrock Geology of the Sheridan District to view the entire document
If you would like an original of this you can order one from the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology
The following is a brief description of the surrounding geology of the Ruby Valley.
Sheridan, Mt (45°27'22.95" N 112°11'5121"W) is located in the heart of the Ruby Valley. The valley consists of rocks and soils that have come from the surrounding mountains. The valleys are ringed by alluvial fans (basically mountain streams that have eroded the mountains and deposited the rocks and sands in a fan shape - in this area these have merged together to give the impression of a continuous apron at the base of the hills. These rocks and soils are primarily made up of materials that come from the Tertiary (65 - 1.8 million years ago), Oligocene (33.7 - 23.8 million years ago) through Pliocene (5.3 - 1.8 million years ago) periods.
Due North and South the underlying rocks include sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from eroded or deposited sediments. This particular formation is limestone (generally made up of calcium from marine animals which have been compacted and cemented together), some dolomite (similar to limestone but with a different mineral composition (more magnesium) as well as sandstone (made up of quartz and feldspar). These rocks are generally from the Mississippian (354 - 323 million years ago) Pennsylvanian (323 - 290 million years ago) and Permian (290 - 248 million years ago) periods. The rock structures are part of the Madison limestone, big snowy dolomite and Quadrant Sandstone.
Northwest of Sheridan are additional sedimentary rocks including shale (formed by compacting and cementing fine grained mud, silts and clays). The shale is part of the Three Forks Formation. Other structures include Jefferson Limestone, Pilgrim and Meagher limestone, Park and Wolsey shale and flathead sandstone. These rocks date from the Devonian (417 - 354 million years ago) and Cambrian (543 - 490 million years ago) periods.
Some of the oldest rocks in North America are found in this area and date from the Archean (2.7 billion years ago) Eon. These lie primarily in the Rubies and Tobacco Root Ranges. These rocks include metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks are highly compressed, almost re-melted sedimentary or igneous (previously melted rocks) rocks. Their specific make up includes quartz (a glass like mineral comprised mostly of silica) and feldspars gneiss (a highly banded rock) as well as amphibolite (a dark colored and heavy rock) and marble (metamorphic limestone).
Finally the core of the Tobacco roots includes younger cretaceous (144 - 65 million years ago) granitic rocks. Granites are igneous rocks and are made up generally of quartz, hornblende and feldspars. The Tobacco Root Batholith was formed by a large magma intrusion or chamber which occurred beneath the earths crust. In addition many other minerals including gold, silver and other semi precious minerals and stones are commonly associated with batholiths. In addition to granite, there is quartz monzonite.

Too bad that neither of the last 2 posters have put their email addy on their "My Page" which is quite simple to do.

- Desolate—Life is so dreary and desolate—
Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle,
Yet with itself every soul standeth single,
Deep out of sympathy moaning its moan—
Holding and having its brief exultation—
Making its lonesome and low lamentation—
Fighting its terrible conflicts alone.- Alice Cary, Life; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 189.
- The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape.
- Leonard Cohen (b. 1934), Canadian musician, poet, novelist. International Herald Tribune, 4th November 1988.
- That terrible mood of depression of whether it's any good or not is what is known as The Artist's Reward.
- Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), American author. Letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald, September 13, 1929. Selected Letters, edited by Carlos Baker (1981).
- In addition to my other numerous acquaintances, I have one more intimate confidant.... My depression is the most faithful mistress I have known—no wonder, then, that I return the love.
- Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855), Danish existentialist philosopher. "Diapsalmata," Vol. 1, Either/Or (1843, trans. 1987).
- Enough has been said about the light-mindedness of the age; it is high time, I think, to say a little about its depression. … The egotistical depression naturally fears on its own account and, like all depression, is self-indulgent in enjoyment. … Sympathetic depression is more distressing and also somewhat more noble; it fears itself for the sake of the other.
- Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or Vol. 2, Hong p. 24-25.
- Sometimes, my heart hurts so much, I beat it with my fists. I try to run. But you cannot run away from this. You cannot run from it. Wherever you run, it waits for you. Even when you think you have escaped it, it is there, where you have run to. It waits for you, to ambush you. It is like those vines called lianas, those tropical creepers that grow around you and strangle you. You cut off one branch, but there is another that grows. You leap over the wall of one ghetto and find yourself in another ghetto.
- Klaus Kinski, as quoted in Playboy (USA) November 1985, Vol. 32, Iss. 11, pg. 84-86+178-190, by: Marcelle Clements, "Klaus Kinski & The Thing".
- A low serotonin level . . . can dry up the wellsprings of life's happiness, withering a person's interest in his existence and increasing the risk of depression and suicide.
- Ronald Kutulak, in his book Inside the Brain. Cited in Awake! magazine, 10/22 2001.
- No one is so accursed by fate,
No one so utterly desolate,
But some heart, though unknown,
Responds unto his own.- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Endymion (1842), Stanza 8.
- Abomination of desolation.

- Depression is the inability to construct a future.
- Rollo May (1909-1994), American existential psychologist. "Love and Will", ch. 9 (1969).
- People here [in Congress] often think of depression as being sad; no matter what I tell other legislators, they don't know. They don't understand how it is emptiness, how it is a vast nothing.
- U.S. Representative Lynn N. Rivers; quoted in The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression by Andrew Solomon.

A better life.- William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra (1600s), Act V, scene 2, line 1.
- Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.
- Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle (1948), Ch. 3.
- Living with depression is like trying to keep your balance while you dance with a goat -- it is perfectly sane to prefer a partner with a better sense of balance.
- Andrew Solomon, in The Noonday Demon (2001), Ch. 3: Treatments.
- Depression is melancholy minus its charms—the animation, the fits.
- Susan Sontag (1933–2004), American philosopher and essayist. Illness as Metaphor, ch. 7 (1978).
- … the best thing for being sad… is to learn something.
- T. H. White, The Sword in the Stone (1963), Merlin, to Arthur.
- In a strange way, I had fallen in love with my depression. I loved it because it was all I had. I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my pain.
- Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation (1994).

Everyone in the world of Mormon letters will be saddened to hear of the death of Richard Cracroft yesterday, September 20, 2012. A giant has left us. For more details, see the Deseret News obituary.
An outdated entry from the Mormon Liberature Database reads as follows:
Richard H. Cracroft, professor of English at Brigham Young University, is one of the most important and active critics of Mormon literature. Having edited (with Neal Lambert) two anthologies of Mormon Literature, A Believing People: Literature of the Latter-day Saints (1974, 1979–see below), and 22 Young Mormon Writers (Provo, Utah: Communications Workshop, 1975), Cracroft continues to write numerous reviews of Mormon literature in a regular column in BYU Magazine and in other venues of Mormon criticism. A past president of the Association for Mormon Letters, he continues to teach Literature of the Latter-day Saints at Brigham Young University where he currently serves as the director for the Center for Christian Values in Literature. In 2000 Cracroft was granted honorarly lifetime membership in the Association for Mormon Letters.
We invite you to share your reminiscences and tributes.

As the subject title states I want the regular tree form of European yew. I want to buy A Dynamite Crepe Myrtle too. I think it may be impossible to find both in one place though. They(yews) are available from UK and Europe, but may be illegal to ship to the US from overseas, I know oaks are anyway. Every search leads to special cultivars etc. that I don't like. Thanks |

Why do you specifically want Taxus baccata? I find Taxus media 'Hicksii' (female) and 'Hillii' (male) have more interesting needle arrays both in size and form, once mine are big enough they will replace my native Taxus bacatta for hedging. Stand alone specimens are a different matter as native baccata will be more bushy until mature while media will be more upright. |
I have several Hick's yew in my yard as hedging. I want the tree form for a gravesite. I know it is slow growing but I like the tree form. I know I'll be long gone before it gets very big. I can't think of a more fitting tree for a gravesite. I have posted on the tree forum too and got lots of sources there so I may not check on this forum anymore. |

Walmart Cyber Monday Deals Last a Full Week
Walmart has Black Friday in store sales every year the day after Thanksgiving. Now there is also Walmart Cyber Monday Deals where you can get some spectacular, deals online. This sale is the Monday after Thanksgiving and only online. Walmart Cyber Monday Deals have just as many if not more people looking for fantastic deals as on black Friday. The good thing about it is that you will not be standing in lines, or reaching for the last item only to have someone with longer arms snatch it from you first. You shop in the comfort of your home during Walmart Cyber Monday Deals. People that do not like crowed places or shopping in person at all, then this is certainly the way to get the best deals and not have to leave the house.
Walmart Cyber Monday Deals went one-step further as they carried their sale through the week to Friday. There is no reason to fight the enormous crowds in the store when you can shop online from your work or home and possibly get even better deals. It was estimated in a survey done by shop.org that approximately 76 million people would shop, using the Walmart Cyber Monday Deals online in order to purchase gifts from their offices and work places. For sales in 2011, there were more than 250 specials offered only to online customers. In 2012, the competition for the best sales for this particular day will be vast. Walmart Cyber Monday Deals offer the largest quantity of sales and all at the lowest possible prices. Many of the major retailers have this kind of sale also, but Walmart blows them out of the water.
In all honesty shopping, in person, can be more hassle than the deals are worth. Being able to do the same shopping a couple days later in the comfort of your home or work place makes the Walmart Cyber Monday Deals a hassle free way to shop. Plus, you will not need to wait in isles or fight people for the last sale item. The holidays are stressful enough as it is this was a brilliant idea by the retailers to help ease that stress by offering this option of shopping online instead of only in store. Besides each person, is trying to find the greatest conceivable deals but really don't have the time to be walking around an enormous store trying to find them. Searching online during Walmart Cyber Monday Deals takes the pressure off.
One of the best parts of the Walmart Cyber Monday Deals is that you can look at each of the items read the full descriptions and be able to decide if it is what you want or not. This saves on returns and the needed trip back to the store to return it for something else. Also, while shopping on their website for these specials you can easily look through the other sections for clearance or seasonal things, as well. They are all clearly marked with their own tabs for easy searching. Walmart Cyber Monday Deals

PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona plans implement a dual-track voting system allowing people who register to vote without submitting proof of citizenship to cast ballots only for federal offices such as Congress but not for state or local offices.
Spokesman Matt Roberts says Secretary of State Ken Bennett will implement the system recommended under an opinion issued Monday by Attorney General Tom Horne.
The vast majority of Arizonans register to vote by using a state form that requires proof of citizenship that is required under a 2004 voter-approved law.
However, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that Arizona and other states are required to accept a federal voter registration form.
The federal form requires registrants to say they're citizens but it doesn't require that they submit proof such as documents.

Digitaria Parties with SuperMEMES and More to Help Launch San Diego Comic-Con 2013
July 17, 2013
Partners with Mashable, Samsung, Islands Restaurants and Taylor Guitars on July 18 to create day of fun, food, fantasy and other things that aren't alliterative SAN DIEGO – Comic-Con is the biggest event of the year here, and digital marketing, technology and data company Digitaria is going all in, scheduling a full day of events atop DiamondView Tower, the luxury high-rise it calls headquarters.
Events include a daytime hospitality suite, Suite 1500, with lunch sponsored by Islands Restaurants; a night-time SuperMEMES party co-hosted with leading tech and social media news site Mashable and sponsored by Samsung; and an exclusive Digitaria After Dark after party sponsored by Taylor Guitars, featuring an acoustic set of music from versatile recording artists The Silent Comedy.
"Comic-Con may be the last truly 'fun' convention or conference for the marketing industry," said Dan Khabie, the WPP-owned, JWT-affiliated agency's CEO. "Yes, there are brands everywhere, and you get the pulse of what's going to be hot next before everyone else, but it's a whole different crowd. The die hard fans, the Cosplayers, the Steampunks, the Trekkies, they still rule. And that's refreshing."
A quick rundown of what to expect from Digitaria and its partners at Comic-Con:
· Suite 1500 is a wireless lounge and hospitality suite in the Ultimate Skybox at DiamondView Tower, on the 15th Floor, open from 9am to 4pm. Breakfast, lunch (sponsored by Islands Restaurants) and light drinks will be served throughout the day. Visitors can hang out, relax, work, listen to acoustic music sponsored by Taylor Guitars, and enjoy the amazing view of the city, Petco Park, the Convention Center and the Gaslamp District.
· SuperMEMES is the definitive Thursday night party, highlighted in The Hollywood Reporter and BleedingCool.com, co-hosted with Mashable and sponsored by Samsung, also held in the Ultimate Skybox on the 15th floor, from 8pm to midnight. There will be booze, food, DJ, dancing, original art, a photo booth, digital and entertainment marketing executives, celebrities and stars, and lots of surprises! Hopefully all good.
· Digitaria After Dark is the exclusive after midnight after party, held in Digitaria's office lounge and balcony on the 12th Floor of DiamondView Tower. Sponsored by Taylor Guitars and Manzanita Brewing, there will be wine and beer and snacks and a live acoustic set from The Silent Comedy. It begins at midnight and runs until everyone leaves, the sun rises, or we run out of booze.
The San Diego Comic-Con has become an entertainment industry behemoth in the past few years, with more than a quarter-million people descending upon the city and more than 130,000 tickets selling out in 90 minutes in 2013. Luminaries from the worlds of cinema, television, gaming, graphic novels and other forms of modern entertainment mingle with fanboys and fangirls for an event that remains unique on the American landscape.

What if one tweet cost your nonprofit $18,000?
Posted in Social Media on 24. May, 2011
Essentially, that just happened to Seattle nonprofit Reel Grrls, which empowers diverse young women to "realize their power, talent and influence" through hands-on media production. Given their media justice work it's not surprising that they sent out this tweet in reaction to a FCC commissioner taking a job at Comcast on the heels of approving their merger with NBC:
"OMG! @FCC Commissioner Baker voted 2 approve Comcast/NBC merger & is now lving FCC for A JOB AT COMCAST?!? http://su.pr/1trT4z #mediajustice"
What is surprising is that Comcast was listening and retaliated by pulling a promised $18,000 in funding for a summer film workshop. That is until the story broke in The Washington Post, the Seattle Times and other media outlets. This caused Comcast to reverse their stand and pledge to continue the funding stating that, "this is not the way Comcast behaves toward its nonprofit partners."
This gripping nonprofit/social media drama continued through the weekend when Reel Grrls announced that in fact they would not be accepting Comcast's money. Instead they've asked the community to step up and help fund this summer's workshop . As of Monday May 23rd they had already raised $14,000 of the needed $18,000. In all they may find themselves on stronger financial footing than they were before the tweet and with a whole new crop of donors. (Update – Reel Grrls has now raised over $22,000 from 600 people, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy.)
However I am concerned that people who were already nervous about what could happen when a nonprofit utilizes social media will use this incident as fuel for their argument and fears. I can almost see nonprofit executives all over the country racing into their communication offices with this story in hand shouting, "This is why I don't like social media and why our nonprofit shouldn't use it." I hope that nonprofits will use this incident not as a reason to retrench but instead as a reminder of some communication best practices.
Although Reel Grrls did nothing wrong with their tweet, it may have you thinking about how to keep your nonprofit out of hot water. The best thing you can do to avoid this is talk about it before it happens. Have frank discussions with the leaders in your nonprofit about what you can or cannot discuss via social media and other communications. Asked point-blank "what would freak you out if you saw it posted on our Facebook page? Are there things that we could never talk about in our blog?"
Sooner or later something will go a little sideways with your social media work, whether it be a comment that casts your organization in a poor light or a rogue tweet that could tarnish your nonprofit's reputation. Get clear about how this will be handled inside your organization; who will be alerted if something goes awry, and at what stage?
Know your response. Think ahead about what's likely to lead to controversy and how you will address it. Create a list of what you could post about that could be inflammatory and what your response will be to each scenario. Then know how you will respond by creating a Social Media Response Plan like this excellent example from the US Air Force.
Taking these steps will get your social media house in order and allow your nonprofit to be more authentic and interactive, without worry.

Trial of Suspect Accused of Groping Young Girls Underway
BROWNSVILLE - The first of three trials is underway for Jacob Valentine Vasquez who is accused of inappropriately touching three young girls last year inside of the Walmart located on Alton Gloor.
On Tuesday, one of the three alleged victims, a 10 year-old from Mexico, gave her account of the assault. The state is trying to prove that the defendant groped the young girl while she was looking at clothes after being approached by Vasquez. Two additional trials, set for a later date, will also be held for the cases of the other two alleged victims.

It takes a certain kind of confidence to refer to your new boss as "extremely sexy and cool." Which is to say, the newest member of the Oakland A's, Hiroyuki Nakajima is a pretty confident guy.
During the press conference in which the Athletics introduced their new shortstop, a 30-year old former member of the Seibu Lions, the shortstop and middle infielder mentioned his desire to play in Oakland due in no small part to A's general manager Billy Beane, who Nakajima referred to as "extremely sexy and cool."
Sort of.
Nakajima says he wanted to sign with #Athletics because "Billy Beane is extremely sexy and cool."
— Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) December 18, 2012
Big League Stew has the full story on the colorful press conference in which Nakajima, through his interpreter, filled the notebooks of the assembled press corps with numerous quotes and quips. "Through his interpreter" should not be overlooked, as a few people I saw on Twitter insisted that while Nakajima is clearly a fun-loving dude, there was a certain "poetic licence" taken by the interpreter.
As far as what kind of on-field impact Nakajima might make, your guess is as good as mine. Infielders making the transition from Japan to the big leagues have a spotty record at best. Jeff Sullivan of Fangraphs gets deep inside the newest A's Pacific League numbers, noting a pronounced drop in his power numbers over the last two years – with good reason.
Sullivan offers one more one reason to believe Nakajima wasn't just flustered and misquoted at his presser. From his twitter feed (and via Notgraphs head wizard Cistulli beyond that) comes this exciting gif of Nakajima flipping his bat after what we can only assume was a home run. That is not an entry-level bat flip, friends. This man has done this before.
That is the bat flip of a man who is confident enough to come to America and tell Billy Beane he's a stone cold fox right to his face – and mean it. The A's had great success with an international man of mystery known for his bat flipping prowess last season. Once again, Billy Beane taps into the new market inefficiency.

Schelkle, Waltraud (2012) Collapsing worlds and varieties of welfare capitalism: in search of a new political economy of welfare. LSE 'Europe in Question' discussion paper series, 54/2012. The London School of Economics and Political Science, London.
Download (789Kb) | Preview |
The study of welfare capitalism is concerned with a founding question of political economy, namely how capitalism and democracy can be combined. Ever since the publication of Esping-Andersen's Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism in 1990, the answer was sought in identifying ideal types of welfare states that support a class compromise. The Varieties of (Welfare) Capitalism literature is increasingly used as a complementary theory of production systems although its rationale for social policies is largely incompatible with the Worlds typology. This article argues, first, that popular regime typologies have degenerated as a research programme, notwithstanding their many achievements. The main reason for this lies in a simplistic notion of the relationship between politics and economics in modern society. Secondly, the article outlines an alternative for analysing welfare provisions and their evolution, drawing on insights of the new politics and the new economics of welfare. This framework can give a systematic account of welfare program restructuring that undermines regime typologies. It suggests a different question for the political economy of welfare, namely how capitalism and democracy can be kept distinct.

Amateur radio club hosts field day
POSTED: Saturday, June 23, 2012 - 8:00pm
UPDATED: Monday, June 25, 2012 - 9:26pm
BATON ROUGE, LA ( NBC33) — These men aren't your typical radio announcers. They are on-air, but they don't play any music.
"Amateur radio broadcasters aren't allowed to broadcast music," said amateur radio operator Jeremy Gerald.
But, they can send messages around the world using things you might find lying around your house.
"We can make contact using car batteries radios and wires in trees, " said Gerald.
Amateur radio enthusiasts or "hams" help keep the lines of communication open especially during a disaster.
"We will actually be the kind of people in an emergency you can go to us," said amateur radio operator Dana Browne. "We can do that. I can't save people with a helicopter, but I can certainly provide communication for people in an emergency. "
It's not all serious, sometimes the guys just want to have a little fun. Ham operator Dana Browne has contacted everyone from astronauts to Australians through his radio broadcast.
"You mean my signal went all the way there," said Browne. "No wires just the magic of radio and somebody can hear me that far away that's neat. "
Hams communicate with a mix of radios, computers, and beeps.
"It's not your grandfather's ham radio."
These amateur's say the hobby isn't just for adults and they want more kids to join in on the fun.
