It's that time again!
For one spectacular weekend this spring, Henry W. Coe State Park will again open the gate at Bell's Station on Highway 152 east of Gilroy.
The Coe Backcountry Weekend, held in the little-traveled east side of the 87,000 acre park is scheduled for April 27th - 29th, 2012.
This event, sponsored by the Pine Ridge Association and the California Department of Parks and Recreation, allows visitors vehicle access to a remote and beautiful area.
Hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians have a unique opportunity to see and enjoy an area isolated from the park's Morgan Hill entrance by long distances and rugged terrain.
The east side of the park has beautiful spring wildflowers, great fishing, and scenic trails, some with breathtaking panoramic views of the Diablo Range. The ridges and valleys are broader and easier to travel than the steep terrain in the western part of the park, and you can plan day trips to areas that normally require several days of strenuous backpacking, places like Mississippi Lake and the Orestimba Wilderness.
During the weekend, you can explore on your own or you can participate in group activities, such as guided hikes and horseback rides, wildflowers walks, and bird watching strolls. To help you make the most of your visit, we'll provide brochures, park maps, and all sorts of information at visitor booths near the Pacheco Creek crossing, County Line Road, and the Orestimba Corral.
The 2012 Application form is available here. The application deadline is Feb. 29, 2012.
Two night camping option: Campers, backpackers, equestrians and backpackers - all visitors are eligible! If you are selected for this option, you will be allowed to enter between 1:00 and 6:00 p.m. (gates will close promptly) on Friday afternoon. Registration will be at the Bell's Station entrance gate. Backpackers and car campers may park anywhere along the Kaiser-Aetna Road between Center Flats Road and County Line Road. Equestrians must drive in to the Oretimba Corral Horse Camp.
Due to ecological concerns and past creek bed damage, only vehicles with high clearance (8" or higher) will be allowed in to the Orestimba Corral area. Standard passenger vehicles will be parked along County Line Road.
The gate will open for all others at 7:30 am on Saturday and Sunday. As always, everyone must be on their way out by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday or 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Everyone camping overnight Saturday at the Orestimba Corral will be required to park on Kaiser Aetna Road unless their vehicle meets the 8" clearance requirement.
Visitors can take advantage of the free shuttle service along Kaiser-Aetna Road to the Orestimba Corral. In addition to passengers, shuttles will be able to help transport camping gear.
Each year a Coe backcountry themed commemorative T-shirt is offered. This year's T-Shirt picture is shown at the right. Click on the thumbnail to see a full size view of the image.
Day Users | People coming in for the day only on Saturday or Sunday |
Car Campers | People staying overnight on Friday and/or Saturday nights and camping near their vehicle |
Backpackers | People hiking into the backcountry to camp |
Horse Campers | People staying overnight Saturday night near their horse trailer. Extra long horse trailers are restricted |
Reservation applications must be postmarked by February 24th. Download the application PDF here. Fee information is provided in the form.
Because of parking limitations, we can accommodate a limited number of vehicles each day. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please remember that we usually receive more applications than we can accept and must decline some reservation requests.
There is no limitation on the number of people in a vehicle. Carpooling is encouraged.
We'll randomly draw applications until we reach our vehicle limit. If your application is drawn, we'll send you a backcountry entrance ticket and more information about the event, including a map to Bell Station. If your application is not drawn, we'll return your check with our apologies. You will be notified by mid-March if your application was selected.
Bell's Station on Highway 152 is located 6.5 miles east of the Highway 152/Highway 156 junction. If you're driving east from this junction, look for the unmarked left turn lane and indicate your intention to turn left well in advance. You'll first see a high rock outcrop on the south side of Highway 152, then the old white Bell's Station building on the north side of the highway. Move into the left turn lane and turn very carefully across oncoming westbound traffic. If you're traveling west from Interstate 5, the Bell's Station turnoff is approximately 22 miles from Interstate 5. Again, look for the old white Bell's Station building on the north side of Highway 152 and turn north at Bell's Station. If you miss the turn into Coe Park at Bell's Station traveling from either direction, proceed to the next safe place to turn around, which might be three or four miles.
The distance from Bell's Station to the Dowdy Ranch visitor center is seven miles. The road is unpaved, quite rough in some areas, a somewhat steep climb in the lower reaches, and has many turns and bends. Drive slowly and enjoy the gorgeous views opening up on all sides. Beware of dust and slow down if a vehicle approaches from the opposite direction. The road is safe to drive in 2WD vehicles, but carry a spare tire and extra water just in case. Plan on 30 minutes each way for the trip. There is no parking along the road until you reach the Dowdy Ranch area. The speed limit is 25 mph.

Answered by
the Fatwa Department Research Committee - chaired by Sheikh `Abd al-Wahhâb al-Turayrî
It is related from Abû Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
There are seven whom Allah will shade with His shade on the day when there is no shade but His shade: a just Imam, a youth who grows up worshipping Allah, a man whose heart is attached to the mosque, two men who love each other for the sake of Allah alone, meeting for that reason and parting for that reason, a man who refuses the advances of a noble and beautiful woman, saying, 'I fear Allah', a man who gives charity and conceals it so that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives, and a man who remembers Allah when he is alone and his eyes overflow with tears. [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim]
Imam al-Nawawî, in his commentary on Sahih Muslim, writes:
A woman of beauty and dignity calls that man to commit adultery with her but he either says: 'I fear of Allah' or he feels the fear of Allah in his heart. The great reward for such abstinence in this case is that a woman like this will be highly desired and generally difficult to obtain. So when she calls someone to her, he will be most likely eager to accept her advance. But in this case this man refuses her advances.

Something Wicked This Way Comes
By: Chuck KlostermanEach summer, 500 goths descend on Disneyland to smoke cigarettesand mock Snow White. Why? Because it's the only place where theycan truly feel at home
If you can't find a reason to hate Disneyland, you're just not trying. Like the insincere smile of an aging bankteller, Disneyland represents a contradiction with no discernible upside: It's hokey and archaic yet gaudy and corporate. It's allkitsch sunshine and crass consumerism, and any self-respecting cynic would despise its very existence.
Unless, of course, said cynic listens to Bauhaus.
Don't let anyone tell you the Age of Irony is over. It's alive and well in California, and here's proof: Goth kids loveDisneyland. On the final Sunday of every August, droves of goth-tacular witches and warlocks drive to Anaheim and enter theforeboding inner sanctum of Mickey's Toontown. Welcome to Bats Day in the Fun Park, the annual SoCal collision of goth cultureand family fun.
"L.A. goth is very different from goth everywhere else in America," explains Bats Day coordinator and Disney superfan NoahKorda, the diminutive 31-year-old who spearheads the pilgrimage. "I mean, it's cold everywhere else. In places like Chicago, it'sgloomy. But goths in California are mostly happy people. I was just the kind of person who was always interested in creepy crap.For me, this has never been about being sad or alienated."
Bats Day began in 1998. At the time, it was just an excuse to be weird: A few regulars from Hollywood goth clubs like HelterSkelter and Perversion decided to drop acid and walk around Disneyland on a summer afternoon. The following year it was officiallydubbed "Bats Day," and it has grown ever since. When the sun was at its zenith on August 25 of this year, more than 500 black-cloakediconoclasts were tromping around Mickey's playland.
It is not, however, a Disney-sanctioned event.
"We don't contact the park," says Korda. "And they probably wouldn't care, but just in case, I don't want to give them a chanceto come up with a reason to shut it down. But it's got to be pretty obvious that this is going on."
At times during Bats Day, it was impossible to swing a dead cat in Disneyland without hitting a goth (of course, if you hadswung a dead cat around Disneyland, a few of these kids probably would have found that pretty awesome). Here's a Dionysiandiary from the Day of the Disney Dead:
10:10 a.m.: The sun is already pouring off the powder-blue California sky as I meander through the gates of Disneyland,assaulted on all sides by small children shrieking for merchandise and ice cream. At the point of entry, I see a sign thatreads here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy. I take ten steps into this world andimmediately see a man selling overpriced Kodak disposable cameras. Yesterday and tomorrow aren't quite as charming or futuristicas one might anticipate.
My suspicion was that 10 a.m. would be too early for goth-hunting, but there are already dozens of specimens congregating nearsome poor sap in a Goofy suit, and a few of them are pushing baby carriages and donning mouse ears. I begin chatting with a40-year-old goth legal secretary named Crickett Hoffman. I ask her to explain the paradox of supposedly gloomy humans frolicking inthe happiest place on earth.
"Goths tend to be kids at heart," says Hoffman. "When you're young, you think the goth movement is about depression andalienation. But if goths were really that depressed, there would be no goth movement. They'd all kill themselves."
10:54 a.m.: Several goths are gawking at a woman portraying Ariel, the chesty little redheaded mermaid from that movieabout the little mermaid, which I think was called The Little Mermaid. Although there are no goths at a nearby headgear outletcalled Hatmosphere, I spot several of them wearing newly purchased Captain Hook pirate hats. This prompts me to consider beginningwork on a nonfiction book titled Sir Francis Drake: The First Goth?
11:07 a.m.: My first error: I see a goateed guy wearing a skull T-shirt, accompanied by a black-haired girlfriend with moretattoos than Tupac and a complexion the color of cocaine. I ask him how many years he has participated in Bats Day in the Fun Park,but it turns out he has no idea what I'm talking about. "We just came here for the hell of it," says 27-year-old BrandonStratton. "I had no idea any of this was going on."Stratton and I then have a brief conversation about Tim Burton movies whilehis girlfriend stares at me silently, probably fantasizing about how I would look swinging from a gallows.
NOON: The entire goth army convenes at Sleeping Beauty Castle for the first of three group photos, all taken by NoahKorda. While we wait for Korda to organize the sinister posse, I strike up a conversation with Scott McElhaney, a 6'2"40-year-old who vaguely resembles Marilyn Manson and has an interesting back story: After spending 21 years in the Navy, he hastaken a job with a defense contractor, building and testing military infrared sensors. This is an admittedly ungothlike move, butMcElhaney says goth-dom was never his bag to begin with.
"I don't think I'm really goth," he says. "I'm more of a hearse person. But hearse people are certainly sympathetic to thegoth sensibilities." It seems that McElhaney is a member of "Phantom Coaches," a subsection of humanity united in their love ofcars that tote corpses (McElhaney drives a 1970 hearse with a Cadillac chassis but concedes that the ultimate ride is the '59Superior driven by Bud Cort in Harold and Maude). However, there is more to Phantom Coaches than just cars--the group alsoenjoys celebrating Halloween, hanging out in cemeteries, and listening to "gothabilly" music, which is sort of a synthesis ofthe Stray Cats and Siouxsie & the Banshees.
The highlight of our mass photograph in front of the castle is the appearance of Snow White's nemesis, the Evil Queen,an über-wicked woman roundly cheered by hundreds of goth minions who evidently see her as some kind of role model. Theseguys certainly dig the black-hearted bitches. Moments later, an actress portraying the virginal Snow White tries to getinto the picture, and everyone boos her into submission.
12:36 p.m.: "Disney came up with a wonderful idea, and a bunch of other people came in and perverted it," KrystleBecknauld tells me, finally expressing the kind of goth sentiment I had expected to hear. She is particularly venomous toward"Disney's California Adventure," the modernized, upscale park that lies just south of the originalDisneyland. "That other park destroyed this area. Now they haveFerris wheels and cotton candy. Walt Disney never wanted that shit."
Becknauld is a snarky, blonde 18-year-old poised to enter her freshman year at Cal State Long Beach. She walks the park withthree males wearing floor-length black leather trench coats. I tell them they are insane, as it is at least 80 degrees and I amsweating through my T-shirt. "Well, of course you are," one responds. "The sun is beating down on your raw, exposed flesh."
1:01 p.m.: One of the misconceptions about this culture is that goths are lonely. At Disneyland at least, theopposite seems to be true: Many of these demi-spooks appear to be in successful, mutually necromantic relationships. I ask agroup of three happy goth couples to describe the perfect mate, and they all say it's the person that they're currently with. I then
ask them to pick the celebrity they'd most like to have sex with. The guys choose Rose McGowan, the girls Peter Murphy.
1:43 p.m.: What do you feed a hungry goth? Apparently, Monte Cristo sandwiches from a restaurant called the BlueBayou in New Orleans Square. A party of five goths waits for a table in the Blue Bayou's lobby, and I mention that Disney'smainstream parkgoers appear oddly unalarmed by the number of people bumping around in capes and hooded death robes. However,these goths feel differently about the level of tolerance.
"I was just in one of the stores," says 28-year-old chemist Jennifer Nogle, "and all the normals were asking the staffquestions like 'What's with these people? Are they part of some weird religion?' Get real."
Nogle's reference to "normals"--goth slang for nongoths--raises an interesting point: People are constantly asking gothkids what makes someone goth. However, an equally valid question is: What makes someone a normal?
"They are not us," Nogle says with focused conviction. "They wear polo shirts."
2:50 p.m.: As a single rider on the Indiana Jones Adventure, I am seated next to...a cute goth teenager! I strike upsome winning banter while we wait for the train car to commence rolling.
"So," I begin, "are you enjoying your day at Disneyland?"
I try again, this time from a different angle. "So, do you think Marilyn Manson will survive the departure of Twiggy Ramirez? BecauseI thought that 'Disposable Teens' song was tremendous."
More silence. I am running out of material.
"So," I ask, "do you think Harrison Ford is goth?"
"Why do you keep talking to me?" she finally says, and suddenly, the ride begins. Now it's too loud to talk, animated rats arefalling from the ceiling of a cave, and I remember that The Last Crusade was totally ridiculous.
3:46 p.m.: Things to do in Disneyland if you're goth:
1) carry a Cure lunch box as a purse
2) make devil horns whenever photographed
3) insist you're "not really goth"
4:00 p.m.: The second mass photograph of the day. This one is taken at Tomorrowland, which is how people at Disneyduring the 1950s saw the future, which means the future now resembles the early 1970s, which means their future is our past,which means Tomorrowland is kind of like Star Wars.
While Noah Korda snaps a photo of the growing mass of black storm troopers, I ask a pentagram-tattooed woman named LindaKnowles whether she felt ostracized by the 1999 Columbine school shootings, an event wrongly blamed on the goth subculture.To my surprise, she felt even more ostracized after September 11. "I was in a grocery store in Laguna [California] right afterSeptember 11, and I was wearing a T-shirt from Salem, Massachusetts, because my husband and I had just been there forvacation," Knowles says. "And this woman points to me and says, 'You're one of those witches! Osama bin Laden was a fall guy.It was the witches who blew up the Twin Towers!' So, obviously, there is still some prejudice against the goth lifestyle."
5:32 p.m.: Five goths convince me to go on Splash Mountain with them. This is one of those rides where you sit ina log and get completely soaked, which I normally disdain. But I've never seen wet goths before, so I go along for the trip.
I find myself inside a log on an underground river. Everything smells like chlorine and Hot Topic. The girls in front of meare giggling at the animatronic rabbits surrounding us, and I find myself thinking, "How did America become terrified ofthese people?" Two trench coat-cloaked kids in Colorado may have become twisted killing machines and ruined it for everybodyelse, but most of these goths are the kind of folk who laugh at fur-covered robots.
The ride concludes when the log plummets 50 feet into a mini tsunami. I bid my soaked newfound acquaintances good-bye as theyreapply their makeup.
7:20 p.m.: I hate to beat a dead jackal, but the logic behind goth summer fashion is profoundly fucked-up. Whywould anybody wear a black sweatshirt in August? Why would people who live in Southern California drape themselves inblack velvet, unless they were appearing in an Alannah Myles video? The goth movement would be better off had it flourishedin Iceland. If Björk had made a record about vampires instead of polar bears, the world would certainly be less sweaty.
7:45 p.m.: Q: How do you make 50 goth kids sprint across Disneyland?
A: Put up a sign that says "Smoking Section."
There are only three smoking sections here at Disney, and they all look like backstage at a Sisters of Mercy concert. Apparently, theMarlboro Man is way goth.
8:00 p.m.: As night falls on the Disneyland Park, the entire Bats Day flock of 500 descends like locusts on theHaunted Mansion for a final snapshot. It's impossible to ignore how happy they all seem--smiling, talking on cell phones, andjoking about watching The Crow and drinking hemlock. And something becomes completely clear: For the first time in a long time, alot of these goths feel comfortable and accepted. Today, they are the insiders. They are the people who can sarcasticallypoint at others with impunity; they are the freaks who took over; they are, quite suddenly, the normals. When the tapestry ofalienation becomes the status quo, disaffection merely becomes fashion. And for at least one August night, it's a goth world after all.

Not merely aesthetically pleasing, extra large or oversized area rugs are also quite functional allowing most furniture to rest on the rug. These extra large rugs can provide the main foundation of design for a great room, large living room, a large dining room or a large master bedroom. An oversized area rug placed in a room that has hardwood or tile flooring will help define the area and will help make the room appear more cozy and inviting. Alternatively large rugs can be used in a small space to create a more "wall-to-wall" look and feel. The rug can be rich in color and pattern or soft and subdued. Large, oversized, contemporary style area rugs have become quite popular for modern styled homes. Historically, the most popular style for extra-large rugs is the traditional Persian or Oriental style as featured in our Heriz category. These rugs were originally made for royalty and would be found in the palaces of emperors and the rulers of the land. Extra large Persian rugs became a status symbol for wealthy families in Europe and eventually in America as well. Rugs over 12 feet long are a major investment, and quality is at a premium. Our oversized area rugs are constructed by hand of the finest natural materials available. We have oversize rugs available in many styles including Semi Antiques, Traditional Art & Crafts, Modern/Contemporary, Designer, Border Solids and more. Oversized and extra large area rugs usually come in rectangular or oval shapes and are available in a variety of different sizes including our Tibetan or Armenian rug sizes of 10' x 14', 11 'x 17' 12' x 16' and larger. Browse our inventory of oversized rugs, including oversized Oriental and Persian rugs, at the Tufenkian Outlet.

I purchased this guitar in green for my daughter. I searched all over for an affordable good quality guitar to use at school and beyond, and this price is excellent!!! It looks very pretty and it is well made. The included accessories(extra strings, picks,etc...) are a very nice addition. It may have to be tuned before you use it the first time. I took it to her music teacher for tuning and evaluation, and she said that it was a very nice guitar. I highly recommend purchasing a sturdier case if you have to take it back and forth, because the case that it comes with is a thin nylon dust/rain cover. I plan to purchase another in black for my son...I highly recommend this guitar...
I purchased this for my 19 yr old son not knowing if he'd really like it, boy was I wrong he loves it all the way. It's great for a beginner and the perfect size for anyone who wants to play a guitar. Not bad for under ** bucks, it seems to be a good guitar at a great price.
My husband and I both bought one. We love them , they are perfect for learning how to play. And they aound great.
Great student beginning guitar. It has beauty plus excellent sound. Perfect to start your journey learning how to play this instrument! :-)
Great guitar for the price. My grandson loves it.
Bought it for my 39 year old daughter. Showed her dad, my husband and he decided it give her his old guitar and keep the new one!!!
Got this for my daughter's Christmas present. The guitar strings broke immediately, a hook was missing and she could not place the straps on the guitar. The final straw was when the zipper to the guitar bag broke. The next day I had to go and purchase a guitar. Needless to say this going back to sender!
Not what I expected, not good quality, but it was cheap.
so disapointed in this item, looked used and in rough condition. ordered the blue for young adult. this is something you would order for a kid just starting out. Not a very good quality. Kinda embarassed to have my daughter use this in their band.

I've never really been a big fan of remixes, they often kill songs and make them sound just bloody awful. But after searching Noah and the Whale on soundcloud out of curiosity, I came across two remixes which were from Noah and the Whale's own account which is cool!
The first is this, it's a great Bibio remix of Waiting For My Chance To Come. It's unlike anything I've ever heard and it makes the song sound totally different but It doesn't ruin it, I love the song and I…

Apologies for not posting lately but I was going to wait and then have a fab post about how great Friendly Fires were at Rock City in Notts but unfortunately, Ed has got a throat infection so they had to cancel :( Luckily though they have been arranging more dates so that shouldn't be too far away and you'll have lots of awesome pictures of Ed dancing through the gig!
Charlie (natw) and Ed should totally have a dance off.
Anyway, keep viewing and you'll soon find…

The first song I heard from Laura Marling was ''My Manic and I'' I really did enjoy the song but the music at the time I was listening to was so different I just never really took any interest after that one encounter.
Recently I have re-discovered her and I am very, very impressed! She's a beautiful singer with a such a delicate voice and what I like most is how diverse her songs are. You have ''Blackberry Stone'' from I Speak Because I Can which has a very, I suppose,…

Cora Hamiltion is a 15 year old girl from the UK who has lately been posting covers of songs onto her Sound Cloud and they are breath-takingly fantastic. Like many would, I had a slight impression before listening to them that they would be the average kareoke-type cover just like every other teen who wishes to be an artist, but I could not be more wrong as Cora is extremely talented. Although It Isn't exactly my choice of program, Cora is auditioning for Britain's Got Talent UK very…

Recently i have been listening to a lot of Noah and the Whale's extra tracks on Youtube and they're really, really good. The album, Noah and the Whale present: the A sides is more punky and contains some covers and a hardcore version of ''Hold My Hand as I'm Lowered'' which is epic!

Skinny and Fat Mirror Images
Name: Danielle Status: other Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Why do some mirrors make you look skinny and others make you look fat? Is this due to slight concave or convex curvatures of what should be flat surfaces? i.e., dressing room mirrors that make you look thin or the "fat" mirror in the house that makes everyone have an extra bulge around the middle?
Danielle, A completely flat mirror will show an image behind it of exactly the same shape and size as the actual object. Slight curvature along only one axis can make a person look fat or skinny. To make you look thin, your image needs to be compressed horizontally or extended vertically. Most mirrors bend over time top to bottom. If seen from the side, there is a slight curvature in the edge. The top and bottom edges are usually straight. Your home mirror can do this due to its own weight. If the center bulges out a little bit, your height will appear slightly smaller but your width will not be changed. This can make a person look a little fat. If the center bends back a little, then you can look a little taller without looking any wider. Mirrors can bend along other axes, but the one described is most likely.

Ceramic Coasters
By: Amanda Marks of Who Are You Calling Crafty?
Make some ceramic coasters with Amanda Marks using stamps and your creativity. DIY crafts are great to do when you have leftovers. Don't throw out old tiles, craft with them.
- PLAID Enamel Paints (any color your heart desires)
- 4 Ceramic Tiles
- Felt (any color)
- Hot Glue Gun or Tacky Glue
- Brushes
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Stamps
- Dry Erase Marker
- First you need an image or and idea – I will be showing two different coaster sets at the same time to demonstrate the different techniques.
- This tile I took a ruler and found center by drawing an X across the tile.
- These tiles I laid next to each other and started stamping.
- I drew the design in this case a mustache with a dry eraser marker.
- Stamping the tiles
- Finished Mustache Tiles
- Finished Stamped tiles. I did go over the stamps with a brush to make it darker. Once the paint set for an hour I them baked it in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. I let them cool and add felt with hot glue gun or Tacky Glue. Tie with a pretty bow and now you have a pretty set of ceramic coasters it makes the perfect Christmas Gift (trust me I am making several sets!)

Hito Steyerl: The Wretched of the Screen
September 2012, English
10.8 x 17.8 cm, 200 pages, 25 b/w illustrations, softcover
Design by Jeff Ramsey, cover design by Liam Gillick
In Hito Steyerl's writing we begin to see how, even if the hopes and desires for coherent collective political projects have been displaced onto images and screens, it is precisely here that we must look frankly at the technology that seals them in. The Wretched of the Screen collects a number of Steyerl's landmark essays from recent years in which she has steadily developed her very own politics of the image.
Twisting the politics of representation around the representation of politics, these essays uncover a rich trove of information in the formal shifts and aberrant distortions of accelerated capitalism, of the art system as a vast mine of labor extraction and passionate commitment, of occupation and internship, of structural and literal violence, enchantment and fun, of hysterical, uncontrollable flight through the wreckage of postcolonial and modernist discourses and their unanticipated openings.

The Spam of the Earth: Withdrawal from Representation
Cut! Reproduction and Recombination
- Reserve Armies of The Imagination
One of the most striking features of the recent wave of global protests, from Athens to Occupy, Tahrir Square to Taksim, has been the profusion of images and slogans they have generated, a creative ferment that has fired radical imaginations in one country after another. [1] Yet the successes that many of these movements have achieved in the realm of discourse—the concept of 'the 99 per cent', for example, is now common currency—for the moment far outstrip any actual political gains. There are several possible explanations for this disparity: the sheer weight of elite power and privilege, the absence of fully worked-out programmes for radical change, combinations of co-optation and repression. But is it possible that the gap between the two forms of representation—political on the one hand, cultural on the other—is a constitutive feature of contemporary reality? And that the explosion of communication enabled by new technologies and social media, as well as bringing ever more people onto the political stage, is simultaneously a mechanism for the exclusion of millions of others? According to the art critic and film-maker Hito Steyerl, the link between political and cultural representation, never straightforward, has become profoundly unstable in the image-saturated neoliberal era; we live in 'an age of unrepresentable people and an overpopulation of images', in which 'a growing number of unmoored and floating images corresponds to a growing number of disenfranchised, invisible or even disappeared or missing people'.

I have a pack of Roeselare blend burning a hole in my pocket... I am planning on following the recipe for a Flanders Red from Brewing Classic Styles. I would like to make a true sour, so I am not planning on primary fermentation with regular yeast. I am also going to do a 6 gallon primary, so I can split the batch and add raspberries to half (maybe next year). My questions have to do with the roeselare blend. Does it need a lot of headspace like normal yeast, or does it form a pellicle? Should I do the primary in a bucket (7 gallons) or the 6.5G carboy. In BCS, he recommends a 1 week primary, and 1+ year secondary. Do I really need to rack after 1 week? What do you sour pros recommend? What about temps? Basement varies, 65 in the winter, 75 in the summer. Is that 10 degree swing kosher for a whole year in secondary? Thanks in advance for any advice you guys have.
nobody use the roeselare blend that can help me out?
I have my first sour in secondary, so I'm no expert, but I'll take a swing. I fermented with Notty, then pitched the bugs in mine. If you're going to pitch the Roeselare in primary, I would say that you probably don't want to rack after a week. If you are going to rack it, you'll want to wait until the yeast drops out I would imagine. If headspace is worrying you, I would just set up a blowoff tube. As far as the temperature swings, I would really only worry about it at the beginning of fermentation, it's probably not that critical for aging.
I will take a stab. I am not sure about the need for headspace, I used a ale strain first. If I had to guess, I would say you should expect some krausen for the initial fermentation then once you rack you need little to not headspace as the brett will form a pelicle. I think it is good to rack at 7 days so that you leave most of the primary saccharomyces behind. You want some for the long haul but not all of it, there will be plenty of yeast and bugs left in suspension. You can priamry in plastic, but I would only use that plastic again for beers with bugs. No telling if the bugs are hiding in the micro scratches. Hope this helps.
It will krausen like a normal beer and then form the pellicle later on. 75 is a bit warm but should still work. You don't have to rack after a week. Hell, from what I can tell, you don't have to rack at all, just like with a lambic. There are a handful of people at least that have had success with Flanders Red staying on the primary yeast. The consensus also seems to be that it is a very good idea to supplement the Roselare bugs with commercial dregs for additional biological diversity.
Thanks guys. Do you get much funk or sour when doing primary with normal ale yeast? Good call on the plastic... Hadn't thought about that. Basement is 69 or 70 right now... Hoping to get a few batches brewed before it gets too warm. I have a bottle of Orval and a bottle of Floris in the fridge. I will add something if its not funky in 6 months. I know my Avery Fifteen isnt going to last that long. Thanks for the advice! Certainly appreciated.
I am at somewhere near 10-11 months. I did the primary with US-05. It is sour. The funk is not quite there but I think it will catch up. If I had it to do again (or next time) I will not use US-05 it is too attenuative. I will just pitch the pack and rack after a week or so.
mine is still in the primary at 4 months or so. Think I should rack off it? I just pitched the roselare yeast pack.
I babysat 60 gallons of Flanders for my club and we followed BCS (Jamil's) process exactly. It produced something in the range of a regular Rodenbach. If you want something like a grand cru, make sure you mash hot enough to leave the residual gravity at about 1.020. Most of the brewers the club project seemed to be lax so their batches dropped to 1.010 just on the WLP001. We followed up with a Kriek in the same barrel, and thus same lambic blend, but we added a LOT of completely unfermented wort to it. In only a few months, it showed quite a bit of sourness.

frequently. Some time after the opening of the Orange Line, the FRA disallowed the freight
operations while light rail vehicles were on-line, resulting in effective temporal separation.
The commingled operations on the fringes of the service day were outlawed.
2001: Restricted parallel single track operation. FRA later relented somewhat and allowed
movements on separate tracks under highly restricted conditions. In 2001, the FRA granted
a waiver to SDTI to permit its continued operations under a petition for "grandfathering" the
previous practices. However, several aspects were restricted. This operating scenario was
termed "limited night-time joint operation." It was not permitted for westbound movements
on the Blue Line due to a potential single-track conflict.
2004: Scripted Temporal Separation. In 2004, a further waiver was granted to allow limited
night-time joint operations for westbound movements on the Blue Line. Under the federally
approved Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), one freight train is allowed to operate on one
track while one trolley is allowed to operate on the other during the fringe period. The west-
bound freight train must come to a complete stop at a predefined meeting place on the double-
track mainline before the SDTI dispatcher can release an eastbound trolley from the yard with
signal indication. The trolley must pass the standing freight train at no more than 20 mph.
SOP reflects considerable caution regarding the possibility of overlapping authorities being
granted by the train dispatcher, the possibility of trains exceeding movement authorities, and
the possibility that freight train lading will intrude into the path of the passenger train. Under
SOP, the two tracks are treated like two, almost independent, single track railways. During
this carefully scripted mode of operation, the light and conventional rail vehicles remain spa-
tially and temporally separated.
NJ Transit Newark City Subway
2001: Temporal separation. One Diamond Crossing with a freight carrier; 19 hour passenger
window; 5 hour freight window five nights per week; impacts late night passenger movements.
2004: Short interval temporal separation (one mode at a time separation). Added vital signal
protection with automatic train stop and interlocking at diamond, and central control of
NJ Transit River LINE
1999: Temporal separation. Two Diamond Crossings with 24 hour access, then approximately
30 miles of mainline track; 16 hours passenger window; 8 hour freight window; transit vehicle
equipped with automatic train stops (ATS), freight movement controlled by derail.
2007: Extended temporal separation. Added another 2.5 miles of shared track by using entrance/
exit control over three interlockings. Applied ATS and derails to permit use by one mode at
a time.
Achievable Incremental Steps
The incremental approach now has a credible foundation. Furthermore as regulators and pol-
icy makers gain more experience with sharing track, these examples can be replicated in other
settings. The increments can be separate or combined:
Scripted temporal separation: carefully defined procedures and scheduled movements;
Short interval temporal separation: the period of temporal separation is not precisely defined by law,
but it is implied. This technique positively restricts the train movements (i.e., separates them) for limited
but shorter periods. These shorter operating windows are shifted from freight to passenger to freight more
frequently within 24 hours, rather than only once;
Extended temporal separation: applies vital train control technology to increasing portions of the route,
thus enforcing fail-safe train separation over more track.

Netflix for iPhone and iPad has been updated with an updated interface and varied improvements on playback, AV sync, and subtitle handling. The new interface isn't a complete overhaul, but very minor. In fact, what I notice most about the interface is that it's actually rather sluggish with horrible scrolling, a bit clunky, and you still can't edit or view your mailing queue or view or leave reviews.
Google has agreed to acquire Nik Software, the developer of the popular iPhone and iPad photo editing app Snapseed. Nik Software develops software for photographers for Mac, Windows, and iOS, but it was Snapseed that caught Google's eye and sparked the acquisition. There is no word on whether there will be continued support for Snapseed or if Google plans to kill the project like they did with Sparrow.

Bio: Your survival mechanism is a curious thing. Mine chose to make a solo record after nearly a decade of musical nothingness in the hopes of channeling a difficult and emotional decade into something productive and positive.
After the demise of Dahlia Seed in 1996 (I was the singer/sometimes song writer), I dabbled in a few home recording projects (Souvenir and Scissorettes), and briefly sang in a band (Down with the Ship) featuring drummer extraordinaire Dave Witte (Municipal Waste, Burnt By the Sun, Melt Banana, Discordance Axis). I however did not formally record or release any new music during that entire time period. I moved to Richmond in 2001 and after the death of several family members, divorce #1, and not very many friends in the city I had just moved to, I turned to making music alone as a way to channel my grief and boredom in a positive manner. I put out my first solo release called "Decimal" in late 2007 and it was because of that release that I began this small record label, Little Black Cloud.
My life since the release of Decimal has been focused on music, however, not really my own. I have been the head of sales and for the Independent Label Collective since 2009 (2007 -2008 I was working for yet another music distro) where I help market and distribute over 30 independent record labels. I also work part time at local record store called Deep Groove and do a weekly radio show on WRIR called Cause & Effect.
Recording and releasing more of my own music is on my to-do list for 2011, no REALLY! I just need to find the spare time to do it. I miss making music and while I love being on the other side of the music industry. I am an artist at heart. My good friend Runhild (see artist tab for her details) and I have been talking about a collaboration forever so hopefully our project which already carries the name of Drekkingarhylur will be ready to share by next Summer.

Adding Clker.com to opera search engines
Friday, July 25th, 2008It seems weird to me that Opera did not support adding search providers using the opensearch XML files. However, I found an alternative way to add search engines to Opera. Unfortunately, it requires the user to do it manually.
To add a search provider 1. Right click on the search field 2. Select 'Create Search' 3. Give the new search engine a title and a keyword.
It is very easy and smart, where the browser takes the post url and uses it as the search engine URL!

May 17, 2007
Karen Metler (FMS) opened the meeting and introductions were made. She mentioned that the USSGL TFM for fiscal 2007 and 2008 are scheduled to be released at the end of June. Tie-points for Special Funds and Deposit Funds are on the USSGL Web site now. One of the handouts provided for this meeting was a draft chart of accounts by fund type. Agencies should review this and provide any comments to Michele Crisman (FMS). Karen mentioned that the USSGL Board will no longer meet at the Department of Transportation as of June. The department is moving to their new building near the Navy Yard. She asked for suggestions on a new location to hold our meetings. There are three criteria to consider (simple building access/security requirements, close metro access, and teleconferencing). Karen reminded the IRC that the USSGL TFM is now divided into two complete sections. In the upcoming release, Part 1 will provide fiscal 2007 reporting guidance while Part 2 will provide fiscal 2008 reporting guidance.
These handouts can be obtained from the following USSGL Web site: http://www.fms.treas.gov/ussgl/handouts/index.html.
Teresa Tancre (OMB) provided an update on OMB Circular No.A-11, "Preparation, Submission, and Execution of the Budget" for fiscal 2007 reporting. She said the current draft has no new Program and Financing (P&F) lines. There will be some minor changes in the memorandum lines (9XXX series).
It was mentioned that OMB Circular No. A-136, "Financial Reporting Requirements," is changing for the fiscal 2007 Statement of Financing (SOF). The information currently requested on the SOF will be included in Note 42. Additionally, a white paper is being drafted to move the SOF to required supplementary information for fiscal 2008 reporting. The revised OMB Circular No. A-136 is expected to be released by June 29, 2007.
Gwen Marshman (FMS) began by referring the IRC to the Summary of Changes handout. USSGL account title changes are not included in the summary. She then reviewed changes for Federal Agencies' Centralized Trial-Balance System (FACTS) I and the revised definition for the attribute Custodial/Noncustodial. There were two changes to the handout for FACTS I fiscal 2008 reporting. For USSGL accounts 1351, "Capitalized Loan Interest Receivable - Non-Credit Reform" and 2511, "Capitalized Loan Interest Payable - Non-Credit Reform," FACTS I domain values Federal "F" and transaction partner "Y" were added.
Michele Crisman reviewed the changes and handouts for FACTS II. The "Transfer To/From" attribute is no longer required on the FACTS II Attribute Table because OMB can derive it from the debit/credit activity. There is no change in the FACTS II system. In addition, the FACTS II attribute "Deficiency Flag" is being deleted because an agency deficiency is apparent without the attribute flag.
Michele reviewed the USSGL Crosswalk for the Statement of Change in Net Position (SCNP) for fiscal 2007 and 2008 reporting. Although USSGL account 5997, "Financing Sources Transferred In From Custodial Statement Collections," is being added to Line 8, "Transfers-In/Out Without Reimbursement (+/-)," it is currently only being used by the Internal Revenue Service. Regarding USSGL accounts 5993 "Offset to Nonentity Collections - Statement of Changes in Net Position," and 5994 "Offset to Nonentity Accrued Collections - Statement of Changes in Net Position," Michele asked the IRC members if they preferred the accounts on Line 11, "Transfers-In/Out Without Reimbursement (+/-)," or Line 13, "Other (+/-)." She said it will remain on Line 13 (on the handout) if she does not receive comments.
Michele then reviewed the USSGL Crosswalk for the Reclassified Statement of Changes in Net Position for the Closing Package (RSCNP) for fiscal 2007 reporting. The most significant change is that Line 7, "Budgetary Financing Sources," was reordered and additional lines were added. The intent was to better align the line numbers with the Financial Report of the United States Government (FR) reciprocal categories. Leon Fleisher (SBA) questioned the inclusion of USSGL account 5990, "Collections for Others - Statement of Custodial Activity," as it does not appear on the SCNP. Michele explained that the FR does not require a Reclassified Statement of Custodial Activity; therefore, data that is reported on the Statement of Custodial Activity should be reported on the RSCNP or RSNC, based on whether collections are exchange or nonexchange. The changes to Line 7 combined with Line 8, "Other Financing Sources" will allow for better alignment of line numbers to reciprocals and also for more accurate accounting of Treasury's central accounting data.
Kathy Winchester (FMS) reviewed the USSGL Crosswalk for the SF 133 for fiscal 2007 and 2008 reporting. These changes are pending the release of OMB Circular No. A-11. Kathy requested comments on the USSGL Crosswalk that combines the Statement of Budgetary Resources and the SF 133. She wanted to know if the combined crosswalk caused confusion and if the USSGL should provide separate crosswalks.
Karen Metler reviewed the USSGL Crosswalk for the Statement of Financing. The title of the crosswalk was changed to "USSGL Crosswalk - Reconciliation of Net Cost of Operations to the Statement of Budgetary Resources for Fiscal 2007 Reporting." She then reviewed the USSGL Crosswalk for the FMS 2108: Yearend Closing Statement - Unexpended Balances, Investments, and Imprest Funds for Fiscal 2007. The phrase "that are considered a form of financing" was added to the handout page V-8, "Additional Information" Footnote #2, subaccount code #973. For fiscal 2008, USSGL accounts 5993 "Offset to Nonentity Collections - Statement of Changes in Net Position," and 5994 "Offset to Nonentity Accrued Collections - Statement of Changes in Net Position," currently are presented on Line 9, "Other." Depending on the decision described above for the SCNP, these accounts may move to Line 7, "Transfers In/Out Without Reimbursement (+/-) (Must = CNP line 11)."
Karen then reviewed the USSGL Crosswalk for the Reclassified Statement of Net Cost for the Closing Package for Fiscal 2007 Reporting. There were no changes on the USSGL Crosswalk for the Statement of Net Cost for Fiscal 2007 and 2008 Reporting.
Gwen Marshman reviewed the USSGL Crosswalk - Balance Sheet for Fiscal 2007 and 2008 Reporting. She then reviewed the changes to the USSGL Crosswalk - Reclassified Balance Sheet for the Closing Package for Fiscal 2007 Reporting. The crosswalk changes reflect the draft FMS TFM, Volume I, Part 2, Chapter 4700, "Agency Reporting Requirements for the Financial Report of the United States Government." FMS expects to finalize and release I TFM 2-4700 by the end of May.
Christine Chang (FMS) reviewed the USSGL Crosswalk - Statement of Custodial Activity for Fiscal 2007 and 2008 Reporting.
The IRC members did not have time to review tie-points. Michele asked everyone to review the handouts and bring them to the next meeting.
Teresa mentioned that OMB is planning a Budget Data Call in June or July for immaterial adjustments in current year (2006) reporting. OMB is unable to see this activity and would like to analyze it.
Teresa also mentioned that OMB is working on issue papers concerning changes to OMB Circular No. A-11.
There will be a FACTS II password protocol change effective the next time each user's password expires. FACTS II will send automatic e-mails.
A question was raised as to whether a "parent" agency can access its "child" reporting. Rita Cronley (FMS) stated that a parent agency does have the capability, but must have or request to have a "headquarter reviewer" role in FACTS II. Having both roles in FACTS II is permitted.
Third-quarter Department-wide data is available (includes child and budget agency). There is a match between the agency SF 133 and OMB data on the Web site.
Karen closed the meeting by thanking everyone for attending.
