Overall Experience
True Santo Domingo Gem
April 01, 2015
My family and I were very fortunate to have recently stayed at the Santo Domingo Crowne Plaza. From the moment we stepped inside the hotel we were treated well by professional, friendly staff. The lobby and restaurants are attractive and serve healthy, fresh, beautifully prepared cuisine. The pool area is posh, peaceful and very relaxing. I truly can't say enough about this wonderful hotel! In fact, we cut our trip to the southwest coast short so that we could return for another night at this amazing hotel!!!

Hey All,
This will be my third go at a Jalapeno Ale. The first is bottled, the second in primary and I want this third one to be brewed this week. This is my first attempt at my own recipe the others were tweaks made to a kit.
Since I'm a beginner with a beginner's setup I'll be sticking to extract. Here is my ingredient list.
6 lbs Light DME
1 lbs Specialty Grains - Crystal 20L
1 lbs Specialty Grains - Crystal 40L
1 Whirfloc Tablet
1.5 oz. Chinook pellot hops (Bittering)
1.0 oz. Cascade whole leaf hops (Aroma)
1.0 oz. Centennial whole leaf hops (Aroma)
0.5 oz. Centennial whole leaf hops (Aroma)
0.5 oz. Cascade whole leaf hops (Aroma)
0.5 lbs Jalapeno peppers (with seeds, vein)
And the directions:
Heat 2.5 gallons of water to 160 degrees
Add muslin bag of specialty malts to the water, hold temperature for 30 minutes.
Remove muslin bag
Take off heat
Dissolve 6 lbs of LDME in the water
Bring to a boil (60 Minute Boil)
Add 1.5 oz Centennial bittering pellot hops (60 minutes)
Add 1.0 oz. Cascade whole leaf hops (45 minutes)
Add 1.0 oz. Centennial whole leaf hops (30 minutes)
Add 0.5 oz. Centennial whole leaf hops (15 minutes)
Add 1 whirfloc tablet
Add 0.5 oz. Cascade whole leaf hops (5 minutes)
Add 0.5 pounds of Jalapeno peppers with seeds and veins (5 minutes)
Remove hop bags
Cool to 75 degrees
Top off to five gallons
Pitch Yeast
I want something slightly bitter with a good floral/citrus aroma. Not too hoppy but enough to please hop-heads. Thoughts? Comments? Anything glaring I should rethink?
This sounds very interesting to me. What will the jalapeño do? Will you get a slight spice off it? I want to know how this turns out!
I would wait and put the jalapenos in at secondary. The acids in the jalapenos can mess with the yeast. Best to wait until the yeast have done their job first. So add them to secondary, and then transfer the beer on top of them, and wait for at least a week, then bottle. Also just cut in half and put in. Any more then that is unnecessary.
I agree with Shane, put them in the 2ndary. I make what I think is a pretty solid jalapeno ipa and I have brewed with the peppers in the boil and then again with them aging in the secondary and by far the better batch was when the beer was aged on them for 2 weeks. If you add them to the boil I lost a lot of the heat and the taste. When they were in the secondary I got a very mild heat and a nice pepper skin taste to compliment that hops.

Jalapeno IPA? Sounds good... Do you by chance have the recipe? or send it to me? I would appreciate it.
I am really interested in the jalapeño addition. It sounds really unique and tasty :-D
I just tasted the Jalapeno ale I brewed with the girlfriend a while back, not bad at all. I think this will be a nice experiment. With that one I boiled, with this one I think I'll add to secondary.
@Wedge421, do you think I should move to secondary soon as fermentation is done and let sit for a week or two or should I move after a week and then wait until fermentation is done? Thanks!
I would wait for 2 weeks, then transfer to secondary for a week to 10 days and then bottle.
I would certainly cut the crystal in half. You will end up with a lot of unfermentables with 2 pounds, I might even go less than one pound depending on the make up of the extract. Also, another option for the jalapenos is to make a simple syrup solution and infuse it with chopped up jalapenos, then strain with a sanitized strainer and add at the end of fermentation. I find that the heat and flavor infuses very well into a near boiling sugar solution, perhaps better than into a 68F wort. I haven't used this for beer but have tried it for mixed drinks several times. You also take out the possibility of infection with this method. Fruit/vegetable skins often carry wild yeast and bacteria.

Presenting the basics of Buddhism with personal anecdotes, exercises, and guided meditations, bestselling author Noah Levine guides the reader along a spiritual path that has led to freedom from suffering and has saved lives for 2,500 years. Levine should know. Buddhist meditation saved him from a life of addiction and crime. He went on to counsel and teach countless others the Buddhist way to freedom, and here he shares those life-changing lessons with you. Read and awaken to a new and better life.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Above: The JXD S7800 gaming tablet.Image Credit: JXD Google's Android mobile operating system doesn't have a shortage of compatible devices. The OS runs scores of smartphones, some televisions, and a few set-top boxes. A few manufacturers, like China-based JinXing Digital (JXD) and Nvidia, even use it as the backbone for gaming-focused handhelds. Today, JXD is introducing the latest entry in its lineup of gaming tablets with the new S7800 line. This device, which looks very similar to a PlayStation Vita, runs Android 4.2.2 Jellybean and features a quad-core processor. It comes in two flavors, a $160 model with 1GB RAM and a slightly underpowered CPU and GPU, and $170 model with 2GB of RAM and beefed up innards. The $170 model, called the S7800B, still probably can't quite match Nvidia's Tegra 4-based Shield Android portable, but it is likely more than enough to handle even the most demanding Android games. It also costs $130 less than Nvidia's Shield. Both S7800A and S7800B gaming devices feature a 7-inch 1280-by-800 IPS display. Both devices also feature 8GB of storage and a MicroSD slot to expand that space. Online retailer Willgoo has both the $170 S7800B and the $160 S7800A available for preorder.

An alternative to formal litigation in court is the use of a mediator to resolve landlord/tenant disputes.
The Unlawful Detainer and Small Claims mediation services is located on the third floor in the Carol Miller Justice Center.
Office Hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., excluding court holidays. Closed one hour for lunch between 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Unlawful Detainer and Small Claims mediation and advisory services are available Monday - Friday, excluding court holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to Noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., except as outlined above.
The Pacific McGeorge Housing Mediation Center (HMC) - external link provides free housing mediation services for landlord/tenant disputes involving eviction notices where at least one party qualifies for pro bono representation.
The purpose of mediation is to assist parties in finding a mutually agreeable solution, and then assist them in writing the terms of the agreement as an enforceable contract. The landlord and tenant must mutually agree to mediation, and the formal rules of court do not apply to the mediation process. Parties may contact the Mediator's Office or the Pacific McGeorge Housing Mediation Center to make arrangements for mediation before the court hears their case. Alternatively, the court will give parties an opportunity to meet with a mediator at the time of trial.
The advantages of mediation include:
- instead of a judge, you decide the outcome of your case.
- you can discuss many issues that may not be admitted in court.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
last night i was sitting with my pal, talking about all kinda things and sketching together, and i said to him - 'isnt it wierd that typographers i know are apathic about graffiti? because me personaly, i think graffiti is a peak in typography and caligraphy's history. people all around the world are exploring letters in amazingly innovative ways, and its an artform of the masses.. so men and women of all ages, and all sorts of social backgrounds, are writing. i know that when i think of a typography utopia.. its something very much like whats going on in graffiti today. and even though sometimes graffiti is very diffrent from type, it remains an incredibly exciting thing - its a movement of more-or-less neo-typographers and calligraphy masters. if i was a type designer, i think it would make very happy to know that in my area kids are working hard to improve their letters. more so, to know that great calligraphers live and work in my lifetime'.
what do you guys think about graffiti? do you see it as something thats a part of the history of typography or calligraphy? do you write graffiti?
I like graffiti, and I think it can have a positive influence on type - but it's not type, it's lettering. On the other hand, now with OpenType especially the lines are more blurred.
I've never tried graffiti.
It's gestural: for the arm, as calligraphy is for the wrist.
Even in simple tagging, graffiti is nowhere near as formalized as calligraphy, so it's very resistant to being type-formed.
It's also cryptic. I know of one situation a few years ago where the name of a rave was rendered in graffiti in a flyer, and few showed up, presumably because not many could figure out what the event was called.
It's also illegal, so advertisers are by and large not going to want to be associated with it. However, that's a good reason why it could catch on, in this time of bad behavior.
Graffiti artists are wanna-be-protologist run amuck.
Even if they tag classical Italian poetry? Gerald, do you like poetry Gerald?
Hrant, you know as much about poetry as you do about art. Squat diddly. There is nothing poetic about graffiti. Areosol cans are bad for the environment. What kind of chump are you anyway? A right wing Rumsfeld/Bush supporting Armenian American against the Kyoto Agreement
I mess around with graf forms in sketch books,
but have never tagged anything
that didn't belong to me.
Once in a while, I pick up a graf magazine
at Tower Records. I also have a copy of
The Art of Getting Over by Stephen Powers.
As Nick mentions, a lot of it is purposely
unreadable, which I find very intriguing.
But graffiti is not always illegal.
We used to commission work from
an Art Center student who was known
for his graffiti art
The Graffiti in Manhattan is extrodinary only because of where the artists choose to post it. Some of the highway overpasses and sheer cliffs make you wonder how they didn't get killed posting it. Most of the Graffiti here is gang related and is about territories, not positive at all.
nick, i found the diffrence between calligraphy and graffiti quite non-existing on several occasions. most of the time i find the two mixing into each other. if you write in someone's sketchbook, for example, thats both calligraphy and graffiti, its a point were the two meet and blend into each other. most of the time i just see my typographic experiments leaking and mixing with my graffiti sketchs, or vice-versa, until i cant tell which is which. its true that graffiti uses diffrent tool then calligraphy.. thus forcing you to use your whole arm. but even though the technique's an importent thing to learn its not the real issue. the really importent thing is how you write, how beautiful and original are your letters.
bj, i havnt read that book. does it have pictures of ESPO's (aka Stephen Powers) work inside?
he's considered by many a lousy writer because he only did blockbusters, no bombing or complex pieces. his work is plainly typographic in comparison to the general nyc graffiti trends and traditions.
This is a face that one of my students at York University (Toronto) did last year.
The project: design a unicase.
Flow, by Tanya Chong
just some pieces which are not too 'cryptic'
Itay, he includes some of his pieces in the book.
I can post some scans on Monday or Tuesday.
"There is nothing poetic about graffiti."
Depends on whose poetry you read... or listen to.
I'll also add that, like all forms of craft and art, there is good graffiti and bad graffiti. Also, there are appropriate venues (highway walls, parking structures, and concrete overpasses) and inappropriate venues (preexisting art, non-public architecture, homes, churches, sculpture, etc.).
I agree with you Itay. I see so many wonderful
examples of something that is clearly dealing
with letterforms, but in a way that I can't properly
"read". I find it utterly fascinating. Some of the
more impressive bombs in New Zealand are
organic, harmonious contemporary examples
of type as image. It is a new (ish) aesthetic that
seems to evolve in a most peculiar manner.
Quite a few adverts round these parts are picking
up on it as a short cut to TARGET YOUTH. So I
reckon that it will soon be diluted and wrecked.
And then there's the stencil graf.
Some of that blurs the boundaries between legible type and street art. It's more this kind of stuff that event coordinaters are looking to for cheap, wide-reaching publicity, that catches the eye, but often mostly due to its repetition.
Some is really interesting though.
My brother and I found a huge box of giant white chalk sticks in a parking garage years ago. We spent the rest of the afternoon drawing cartoons and type everywhere. And since it would all wash away, we did our deeds in broad daylight.
Since then, I've never tagged illegally.
I do love getting 'stuck' at railroad crossings; it's a free graffiti show, from boxcar to boxcar to...
I suppose professional typographers/lettering artists rarely get in to graffiti since they already have a channel for their creativity and self expression. I work with graffiti artists that are channeling their skills toward design and typography, they do less graffiti now.
i'd give my right hand to see some of the typographers on this board try and do graff. not neccaserly on walls, because i see how many of you dislike the illegal factor of the craft, but on paper too.. to do a battle for typophiles only on the 12ozProphet.com board :] wouldnt that be great?
BJ - are the pics in the book of his blocky works?
> That three-dee piece is mind-boggling!
> If lettering/calligraphy is music, this
> is free jazz.
or maybe its rap? :]
I've been doing research for some grafitti/ stencil graf-based design work. I'm really drawn to the stencil stuff.
Wow, I can't believe i missed this post ALL week long!
I have been working on a type foundry/ book project for the past year. Working with artists documenting, converting and digitizing their handstyles into fonts. Currently we are working with:
-ESPO (Philly, and NYC, mentioned and flicked above)
-JOKER (Portland)
-MESK (DC,Philly, NYC)
Similiarly to Itay K's notion that there are similiarities between graf and calligraphy, our premis is that their is a huge connection, particularly in the practice of and development of style. Outsiders rarely notice, but anyone who will take the time to look will notice that their is a cohesive style connected with regions and cities not unlike calligraphic style development.
Southern California has always had an angular Cholo/Mexican style to their letterforms. Philly has tall prints where the letters overlap at a very aggessive script style, NYC has very bold and loud styles, particularly the throwup, which could be argued is an invention brought about as a result of trying to write in New York, where the streets are always busy, and it pays to cover the most real estate in the shortest ammount of time to paint it.
You can check out the thesis at our website:
Our sites a little outdated but we are hoping to have it updated with new info and online font sales sometime this fall.
Unfortunately I can't yet post samples of the fonts in progress but after they are approved and finished working through with their respective artists, I'll try to post some. And yes we are implementing OT (as soon as I figure it out. FL is a massive program to teach yourself, 2 years and I only utilize about 1% of what it can do).
Itay K and any others interested in finding out more can email me.
PS, Yes, I write graffiti (actually I retired, from it) And I also have a formal Design education as well.
Itay K - Quote:"bj, i havnt read that book. does it have pictures of ESPO's (aka Stephen Powers) work inside? he's considered by many a lousy writer because he only did blockbusters, no bombing or complex pieces. his work is plainly typographic in comparison to the general nyc graffiti trends and traditions."
Au Contraire Monfraire, Don't you even go there. Me without a mic is like a beat without a snare....
Check out ESPO's work here.
He's put in LOTS O' Work through the years, and his blockbuster styles only represent the last few. Tags, Throwups and crazy pieces. His stuff is very typograpjically influenced though, which I've always like personally.
The book is worth checking out. short biographical chapters about specific writers and their stories. Lots of good pictures.
do you know of Logan Hicks and workhorse?
Not grafitti but great sidewalk drawings.....keep in mind the surfaces are FLAT!
Here are an example of my work.

Or do you already only have a right hand? That would explain the all-lc. ;->
Itay - I brought the book to the office today
so I'll throw something up when i have
some time this afternoon.
Marcus, welcome to Typophile.
Christian, I have a license to Sailor Gothic. Nice work. I'm very interested
to see what's in store with Handselecta.
I really like the sick moves logo. Great chisel tip work. Focusing on the forms alone, I think this is a great example of digitized handlettering, that isn't so far from a stage that could become a font witha little work at finding a rhythm and regularity throughout it, sometimes it's as easy as setting a definite x and cap heights. Marcus, I encourage you to blow this out into a full character set. I really like it's feel.
BJ, thanks for the kind words. I'd love to know what you've done with it.
A couple of your fonts in the reverb project on your site are pretty successfull as graffiti fonts. From what I could tell on screen at least, they fly by pretty fast in the flash animation.
It took me a while to decode.
Sick Motels? Stick Models?
So, (and with no disrespect, I'd just like to know) two questions:
1. Are authenticity and legibility mutually exclusive?
2. Why is "Magazine" so default and easy to read?
whatever is on there is really old.
we haven't updated
in about 20 months, but we haven't
abandoned that
Marcus -- it might create a nicer effect if you fill in the interior (white) counters ... dunno.
Have you guys checked out 'Writing' from Die Gestalten Verlag? http://www.die-gestalten.de/flash.php
it's brilliant, it's about what they call urban calligraphy and has a beautiful flow from tag to throw-up (not as in 'vomit') to piece and beyond.
I think that graffiti is too broad to be treated as one thing, there are tags, throw-ups, pieces, posters, stencils and wayyyy more stuff that's sort of hard to categorise simply as 'graffiti', ZAST and AKIM and loads of other people are doing some pretty cool 3D things, sort of like graffiti-sculpture.
If you're into stencils, I have a few that you can download, print out, glue on to cardboard and cut out at my site, in the Type section, sorry about the self plug...
The illegal factor of graf is a bit dodgy to me, I live in a house that is constantly bombed by crap 'artists'. (on top of that, I'm the guy responsible for cleaning the building.) On the other hand, I'd find my town more dull without graffiti. I also appreciate the fact that risk and urgency is part of the craft.
I think it may just be a case of practice, outsider vs insider. Blackletter is damn near impossible for most people outside of our community to read, even I wouldn't want to read any substantial text in it, yet it's legibility is something that changes with a viewer who is accustomed to it. there are blackletters that are more legible and blackletters that are more ornate.
The word magazine in the extended sans simply adds a contrast.
Legibility is obviously important, but sometimes not as important as other things though. Judging everything based upon legibility is a slippery slope. It can deny innovation.
I agree with BJ, the outline version above may be better seved as an alternate version, focusing on the forms in black without the outline would be better serving.
"Writing" is a very cool book, great concept.
Graffiti (especially the complex pieces) are definitely 'coded', I agree with Christian on the blackletter comparison, back in the day, Northern Europeans found latin script hard to read.
> Are authenticity and legibility mutually exclusive?
Maybe for Graffiti they are, to some extent (as Kenn says). But in general not necessarily: like in contemporary Armenian type design the best way to regain functionality* is to revive authenticity.
* In this case readability though, not legibility.
>outsider vs insider
I don't accept that this concept has anything to do with legibility.
Certain groups of people (to whom graffiti speaks), are able to decode it because (a) they have some familiarity and expectation of what the words will say. "Sick Moves" is not a general figure of speech.
And (b), they are willing to take the effort to decode the text, because they realize it's targeted at their demographic.
Consequently, I suspect that if a blind scientific test were to be given, showing fresh graffiti to two groups of people (1) graffiti-philes and (2) graffiti-indifferent, with text that was well-known to both groups, that there would be no difference in "legibility scores".
The cryptic quality of graffiti is perverse and elitist. Graffiti artists don't want to share the meaning.
Which is fine, but it has nothing to do with learning how to read a style of typography.
Perhaps a better comparison than Blackletter script would be Psychedelic rock posters.
BTW, Victor Moscoso will be at TypeCon -- is that cool or what?!
There is a problem if graffiti is to be considered a legitimate typographic art form, rather than as graphic decoration: it's a little too easy to hide a lack of design skill behind cryptic forms.
>Judging everything based upon legibility is a slippery slope. It can deny innovation.
Conversely, it's easy to be innovative when you don't have to be legible -- and that devalues the quality of innovation.
Legibility is the "sine qua non" of typography -- which is why I can respect graffiti as graphics, but not as typography.
Perhaps I am expecting too much, and it's impossible to create graffiti art that communicates broadly without selling out.
However, it has been done -- Keith Haring was able to transcend the genre.
Nick, they are very legibitable to the audience they want to reach. Other gangs. It says don't try to sell your drugs here or die. Simple. There is really nothing nice about graffitti, at least not in NYC.
Wow, Daniel, I don't think I've ever heard someone speak so loudly on a topic they were so evidently ignorant of. First of all, NYC graffiti has nothing to do with gangs, and wether you appreciate or hate the legality of it. at least you could acknowledge that this discussion is based around letterforms and thir relationship form typography to graffiti.
Well Christian, you live in a fairyland if you don't understand the symbolism of grafiti. Why do you think its a crime to create graffiti. They just convicted a 32 yr old graffiti artist here today. Its not about art or letterforms
again, graffiti is so many things and the purpose of graffiti differs across the whole range.
In my opinion a tag is what a dog does when it's out walking, it's marking the territory, it's showing off, hell all graffiti is about showing off to some extend, but then again all art is... I'm going nowhere with this.
Would it make more sense to compare graffiti to musical notes or hobo signs? They're secretly coded languages too, one could argue that 'normal' written language is that too.
Daniel, are you saying that there are no aesthetic value in graffiti whatever?
Nick, I appreciate your skepticism, it helps to decvelop this conversation further.
I think you raise some good points, first of all, your correct graffiti is not typography, not yet, at least in any quality form. It is absolutely a form of contemporary calligraphy however. A very established and probably much more practiced form than most traditional calligraphy styles today. And within this world of contemporary graffiti (which is less than 50 years old) different cities (in the states) established different styles. Most writers within a city will have a similiar style ie) my reference to blackletter earlier. This is what intrigues me, the developments of scripts that have geographical characteristics.
As for point A) peoples familiarity and expectations:
Most graffiti writers are primarily writing their nicknames (a nom de plume) which is usually a 4-6 letter word or acronym or just a rediculous group of letters that the artist thinks look good together. It's not always a pop cultural reference, which means that there is not always an in to deciphering it based on hip hop lingo.
"Conversely, it's easy to be innovative when you don't have to be legible -- and that devalues the quality of innovation."
That is a very good point, however I think that there is room for an evolution in craft, and applying the rules developed for modernist typography is hardly fair to apply to art forms developing independent of that. There are certainly great things to take from the modernist or classicists but in this case I find that these traditions can be limiting, and the new forms worth pursuing .
I have been looking to the development of type based upon calligraphy, to draw corelations. I have been reading Tracy, Chappel, and Bringhurst, and found a good book called Calligraphic Type Design in the Digital Age, which focus' on Zapf. If anyone has any suggestions of authors who look at the development of typography from a calligraphic standpoint, please share. I'd greatly appraciate it.
Daniel, I live in a borough of Fairyland called Brooklyn.
I think we can disagree civily don't you? If you have honest criticism of where graffiti and type do not mix, by all means we would love to hear your insites, but the belief and statement that graffiti is no more than gang vandalism is either a gross exageration on your part or a missunderstanding and lack of experiencing any of the best this artform has to offer. At it's heart it is an art about letterforms, the same way that calligraphy, and typography are.
I hope we can continue to disagree in a way that is beneficial to the conversation as a whole.
Would you mind sharing where you saw that story or who the artist was who was arrested in NYC today?
> they have some familiarity and expectation of
> what the words will say. "Sick Moves" is not
> a general figure of speech.
And "sick motels" is?
Graffiti-aware people also have some familiarity with the "coded" letters themselves, and/or the ways in which they might be encoded - you of all people should note that.
> they are willing to take the effort to decode the text, because they realize it's targeted at their demographic.
Some people -like me- are willing to make the effort even if they know the message isn't for them. They might find that stimulating/fun. Like watching a movie in a language you don't know - I personally can't get enough of that.
> The cryptic quality of graffiti is perverse and elitist.
I'd rather see it as playful, challenging.
> it's a little too easy to hide a lack of design skill behind cryptic forms.
But good "encryption" is a design challenge of itself! And I don't think you can really innovate if you totally ignore legibility - it's in twisting it properly that there is creativity.
That said, graffiti is not typography. Not because it's less developed, but because the letters are 100% contextual. And it's not calligraphy either, because ductus is not its essence. It's lettering.
> Why do you think its a crime to create graffiti.
Because it costs the rich money?
BTW, Daniel, you race bikes? Street luge is so much more interesting. And it's illegal too.
> They just convicted a 32 yr old graffiti artist
Yeah, they convicted Nelson Mandela too once.
Christian, it's nice to see you studying the past, but looking to the future. However, concentrate on lettering, not calligraphy.
yeah, I've spoken to a couple of designers who've mentioned similiarities in my hypothesis about geographic styles to sign painters/letters, but I have found this a hard subject to research outside of one or two picture books on English pubs or Inn's.
There are a number of lettering gurus, especially in the US (like John Downer), and they're generally accessible - like at TypeCon - see you there? Plus there's more lettering litterature coming out lately, not to mention fonts. Ask around here and you'll be flooded, I'm sure.
Does anyone have A History of Calligraphy by Albert Gaur? Pretty good for the most part. A lot of info on non Latin, Arabic and Asian forms of calligraphy.
When looking at tags (albeit the least favorite form for non practioners) what most people who are not accustomed to reading graffiti miss is that each artist usually has very consitent forms from one tag to the next. Its the free play in scale and dimension that makes it hard to look at it in a similiar light as historic calligraphy, but when they are measured and rythmic on purpose, it creates a new thing, a hybrid of graffiti and calligraphy. My interest lies in the in between stage, regularizing calligraphy (or in this case, graffiti).
Thats it for now. I'll be back later, with some examples of geographic styles.
Weird, how we got from graffiti to English pub lettering... (Which is brilliant BTW, funny how that skill is far better developed in Britatin than enywhere else I've been.)
I used to hate the tag too, because it was just a scrawl, but something has happened, both with me and on the tag scene, more differing styles now. I still don't like throw-ups much.
I think that tags can be compared to calligraphy, but I agree with Hrant that pieces are lettering.
"I think that tags can be compared to calligraphy, but I agree with Hrant that pieces are lettering. "
I think thats a good distinction, Kenn
perheps the most important distinction to make is that writers are artists and not designers. their biggest objective it self expression. like realism is for the visual artist, legibility is a tool for the writer. to get your name known, it is sometimes most rational to simply paint your name over some highway or factory building in big fat letters (thats called a blockbuster). usauly though, there are more importent things then having everyone know you're around, and sometimes having a distinct style is more 'profitable' (in terms of getting your name known) to the writer.
alot of times writers do pieces which are abstract and complex. they dont do that because they are elitist or because they dont care about the structure of letters, but because they have a more important objectives then to be legible.
the funny thing, nick, is that ive met some writers who think alot like you. they belive that graffiti should be legible all the time. some of them think graffiti has rules, like typography styles have.
i think that once you make graffiti into a branch in typography it loses all its charm.
> Then I hope you're left-handed. ;-)
> Or do you already only have a right hand? That would explain the all-lc. ;->
lol.. that would be a grand excuse! unfortunetly im just plain lazy :D
uhm, i'd give my remaining hand if everyone here would speak in my mother tongue..
what, nobody wants to battle?
what are you.. men or typographers..?
> Would you mind sharing where you saw that story or who the artist was who was arrested in NYC today?
maybe he's reffering to COPE2...?
christian, have you seem Os Gemeos' handstyle?
daniel, christian has done graffiti.. so when he says that graff aint about gangs nowadays, i think its safe to belive him. i have seen writers get violent, but it was just average urban bad-tempered people.
> Have you guys checked out 'Writing' from Die Gestalten Verlag?
yeah, i own a copy. its an awesome book. highly recommended. the pictures are beautiful and the articles interesting.
the only downside is that they concentrated too much on german writers.
Os Gemeos is great. awsome control of a roller. almost cholo/SoCal in his letterforms. Where is he from?
> their biggest objective it self expression.
If it was communication instead, that would be more useful.
> some of them think graffiti has rules
It must. And [controlled] illegibility could be one of them.

Your staff was very friendly and professional! Great customer service!
Thanks so much!
Hire new staff Logan is one rude person ! Rude from the minute I walked into the store to the time I drove off! And I was barely even talking to him!
I felt that the fees to drop off the truck at a different location was too expensive, especially for a move in town.
Every things just fine.
The Best UHaul facility I ever engaged with!!
Such great service from the staff...I got there and it was super busy yet the staff was able to multitask and serve their customers as quickly, efficiently, and friendly as is possible on such a busy morning. The check in service was quick and the gentleman helping me was super friendly just as the staff was 6 hours earlier. I've rented from several different locations however, will pay the extra mileage and fuel to have such great customer service.
Racheting tie downs needed WD40
Find employees who want to be there. The guy who checked me out clearly didn't. He also just left me hanging out in the parking lot with a clip board and told me to mark off any damage...and then he left! I had no idea what the process was or what I was supposed to look for.
The truck was not cleaned up.
The young man who checked me back in was very thorough and polite. You need more guys like him.
Excellent service
Staff are always courteous and helpful!
Very professional in every way, a pleasure in the midst of a move.
Keep up the great work!
It would be nice to have a pull through in the lot, rather than having to make a uturn after hooking up the trailer.
They are always super helpful.
Liam was the employee that assisted us, from the time we checked our truck out, to the time we returned the vehicle. He was friendly and very thorough. He made the experience great.
No comments. All staff were great.
None excellent customer service
Check engine light came on at end of journey but all was well!.. love Arizona Ave. Location. ..Great Customer Service
Good value for the money,and good service as well.!
We have rented from this location before and find it has been a good location and everyone has been helpful and easy to work with.
There guys are always top notch whenever I rent from them :) Great job guys!
Great staff and very helpful. If you could change your trailers to allow disabling the surge brakes, it would be great. Hauling an empty trailer over a bumpy road with the surge brakes on shakes the heck out of the ride.
maybe let the agent walk around the truck with you because you're not sure which scratches to mark and there's no one to ask.
So far I am pleased with the service and the professional employees at this location. The location is equipped with everything you need to effectuate any move or storage. Thanks for your service!

Iffy Senate outlook for state aid package
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama's allies in the Senate are taking one last run Monday at advancing what's left of his tattered jobs agenda.
The $26 billion spending measure would help states and local school boards with their budget problems, but its fate is unclear in advance of a key test vote on breaking a GOP filibuster.
The idea is that money - $16 billion to help states with their Medicaid budgets and $10 billion to help school districts avoid teacher layoffs - will help preserve the jobs of public employees, giving a boost to the fragile economic recovery.
The two elements are leftovers from a larger tax and spending measure that, in significant measure, stalled earlier this summer. The spending is accompanied by tax increases and spending cuts to make the measure deficit neutral over the coming decade. That's a step aimed at mollifying moderate Republicans concerned about record budget deficits.
Democrats, who control the chamber with 59 votes, will need to pick up at least one Republican to muster the 60 required to defeat the GOP filibuster. The top targets are Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, who provided the key votes last month to pass a six-month extension of jobless assistance for the long-term unemployed.
Collins has been a a stout supporter in the past of giving states help with their budgets and was the driving force behind a $20 billion aid package enacted in 2003. But she's undecided so far on Monday's vote, a spokesman said, citing cuts of unused Pentagon shipbuilding funds.
Failure to pass the measure would be yet another rebuff to President Barack Obama, who requested an extension of additional aid for the Medicaid program in his budget and has belatedly rallied behind the money for teachers as well. Without the help, states will be left with a huge hole in their own budgets, while school systems would have to make greater layoffs than already anticipated.
Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky blasted the measure, saying it is a payoff to public employee unions, a key Democratic constituency.
"Our friends on the other side are now in the business of paying for states to hire more workers even if they can't afford it on their own," McConnell said. "It creates a permanent need for future state bailouts, at a time when we can least afford it."
The measure is paid for with about $9 billion in tax hikes that limit the ability of some U.S.-based multinational companies to use foreign tax credits to reduce their U.S. taxes. It would also rescind more than $8 billion in previously appropriated money and save 7 billion by curbing future food stamp benefits.
Medicaid is a federal-state partnership that serves more than 50 million low-income people and many seniors in nursing homes. Washington has been picking up 66 percent of the cost, on average, under last year's economic stimulus bill - as opposed to 57 percent federal share during normal economic times. Obama had requested a six-month extension of the more generous rate, through June of next year.

when i was at home in virginia the other weekend i was walking around the house noticing all the little craft projects my mom has done to make things look nice. one exceptionally easy project she uses caught my eye because it solves a problem i've been having for years- wet, pulpy labels on dish soap containers.
i use, and love, my seventh generation dish soap, but i don't love the packaging- and love the label even less. not because it's particularly unattractive, but because it's always getting wet and then tearing and turning into a mushy, pulpy mess on the counter (yes, i'm a somewhat messy dish-washer). so i've been wanting to find a way to swap out the container and keep the eco-friendly soap. inspired by my mom's dish soap dispenser, i decided to find a new use for some vintage bottles i had lying around the house. one was an old olive oil bottle, the others were small bits and bobs i've picked up during travels. the process is incredible easy but i've written out the steps below the jump just to be super clear. if you're looking for a super simple way to customize the way you use soap around the house, this is a fun and affordable project. thanks mom, for the inspiration!
CLICK HERE for the full project after the the jump!
Quick and Easy Soap Dispenser
-Bottles (you can use plastic, but glass is particularly pretty)*
-Plastic bottle pourers (I used these but you can find more styles here)
*Before you buy your bottle, make sure the bottle opening will fit the bottle pourer you bought.
1. Clean out your bottle and dry thoroughly
2. Fill with desired soap
3. Insert bottle pourer and make sure it is securely attached.
That's it! Enjoy your new dispenser and say goodbye to wet, peeling labels.
Love this! So simple, yet so elegant. I definitely will be putting a few of these together for my kitchen and bathroom.
Not only is does the 7th Generation soap have an unattractive package, but why not skip the plastic bottle all together? Most natural foods co-ops and even stores like Whole Foods/Wild Oats sell dish soap, shampoo, etc. in bulk. Just have a cashier weigh your pretty glass bottle before you fill it up, and you've eliminated the extra packaging!
I have one and it pours out just the right amount of soap and will make a bottle of soap last well over a year. i LOVE it. such a simple simple solution for aesthetic and conservation.
one additional tip! I do this same thing, but I add some water to the bottle (since you can't squeeze glass, and shaking it too hard makes the bottle pourer fall out)
Your mom is a genius! This is lovely!
I love the fabric in the background, beautiful. What is it about dark backgrounds for a floral print that look so good!?
great! would be sweet in a bathroom too, with bath oil or bubbles in it.
What a great idea! I could also use a large bottle with my laundry detergent
I love this!
I actually saw someone use the same idea for storing/displaying mouthwash in the bathroom. The bright green added a nice pop to an all-white room.
absolutely fabulous!!! i'm i love with this idea. it's now on my project list for this weekend :D thanks for the additional tip, lilah!
Now I have a use for my Perrier bottles! This is awesome.
That's actually great for olive oil.
My mom actually uses this idea for her mouthwash! It is so simple, yet so adorable! Thanks!
We also keep our mouth wash in an olive oil bottle on the bathroom counter. It looks great and it's easy to pour some straight in your mouth. You don't even have to unscrew the lid!
That's a great idea! I've been struggling with my hand soap dispenser turned dish soap dispenser. For some reason, dish soap just doesn't like being in there and oozes out or clogs! I'll have to go find a nice bottle now. :)
I love this! Very classy and clean looking. And you can get any colour to match your washroom!
I've done this in the past. One tip – better to find the plastic spout devices rather than metal. Eventually the soap sort of eats the metal (of course you can just put in a new one, but a plastic one would wash).
I love the mouthwash idea. I hate our costco size bottle and the only place to store it is in the open.
I've done this with an Orangina bottle. I love their cute bulb shape and textured glass.
Ikea has a similar bottle setup that I use for my soap. The trick I've found is that as long as I keep the bottle at least half full, the soap flows well. Get too low on soap and you have to wait awhile for it to come out!
Lovely idea, so much prettier than the plastic squeeze bottle. Great tip about the bulk soap S@sha – no need to mess around with the plastic bottles at all!
this is exactly what i had done for our soap and i love it. another little burst of color on the counter and something so typical made pretty.
I actually saw this same idea in martha stewart living, but when I tried it, the pour spout kept popping out. I think it's because the soap is so slippery that the stopper can't catch on the bottle… I'm not sure, but the bottle and stopper did come together, so I know they're meant to be used as a pair. Any ideas on what I can do?
i saw this somewhere and copied it and people always compliment it. dishsoap is actually pretty in a glass container and you can get a color that compliments your kitchen :)
did you get soap on the actual stopper when you attached them? i left plenty of room between the soap level and the actual body of the plug and it's been working without a hitch for a few weeks now.
perhaps the plug isn't tight enough? i'll ask my mom, who's been using hers for years….
Yay! Great idea, greener than buying more a plastic soap dispenser and I even have a vintage bottle that I love, but didn't know how to use. Thank you!
I've been doing this ever since college, when I saw my friend's mom doing it (over 10 years ago!). Thanks, Mrs. Paul! :)
I used to use a pretty olive oil container but the top would never go all the way in because of the soap. Now I use an old blue wine bottle and found specific pourers for wine bottles – now it works great.
I am going to put this idea in practice very good styling as well.
I used to do this (before I was given some dish soap with really pretty containers) and it works so well. Dispenses just the right amount of soap.
I live down the street from Seventh Generation's headquarters and am really tempted to march this idea right into them. I've never liked how gooey their bottles get…
i have been doing this since college. my friend always gave these as gifts. i made my own. u end up using way less soap, so it is just better all around. pretty and green!
How funny — I do the exact same thing because my mom has always done it that way, too!
And a great idea for mouthwash is to use a carafe and glass set that would normally go on a nightstand.
coincidence! i was just this morning hating that the seventh generation label on the dish soap was looking nasty and made a mental note to stop by the local cooking supply shop for some of those pourer thingies. your look great!
i'm pretty sure this is a vintage Martha Stewart idea. from the early 90's.
I did this with my dish soap, but I got some lab glassware from the local university (for 10 cents a piece) and now have my soap sitting in boiling flasks (see link for example). It looks like a little experiment on my counter!
these are adorable!
Bits & bobs??? Wow – do I hear a Brit…? I think you're the only Brooklynite who uses that phrase besides me…
Love the soap dispenser and I do it myself, although I inevitably always have the wrong size hole to pourer ratio and end up with a mess – need to find more sizes.
Any chance of a D*S craft night in Bklyn???
i'm working on one as we speak- a craft/d*s/event thing ;)
I have been looking for SO LONG for a bottle for my dish soap — never thought of making one!
Kristin, if you're having trouble with the spout popping off take it out, rinse it and give it a rub down with some alcohol (rubbing works, even vodka LOL). Give the inside mouth of the bottle a good wipe too and let them dry before before putting them back together. This really gets them clean of soap-goo and gets a good "grip" working. Hope that helps, this is such a pretty project!
A GREAT idea. On the look-out for all of this tomorrow!
Thanks for the fun inspiration!
What a great idea. I find my pump bottle always break even the proper store bought ones. This is the best solution.
Lab glassware with a rubber stopper and glass pipette also works well.
Here are the links for the lab glass.
I did this for a while, I loved it! Unfortunately my bf put a stop to it. Why do men always put function over form? I guess if he's the resident dishwasher I need to play by his rules….. Hopefully this post will make him think otherwise!
This is definitely on old Martha idea. One word of warning: wet and soapy glass bottles become very slippery. Choose a small bottle and one that fits comfortably in your hand— I've dropped/broken a couple of large (olive oil) bottles. Adding water to the mix is a must, especially with all the 'concentrate' dish soaps out there these days.
Your mom is a super genius! I'm totally going to make these this weekend…
I've done this for years but I use wine stoppers as the topper. I love the metal ones with a decorative shape on top.
I have used a smal bottle (they get too heavy if too big) and done a mosaic on the outside of it. I use one for my olive oil and one for my hand soap in the bathroom. I decided it was too heavy for the frequent use my dish soap bottle gets. that one I left plain and clear. The mosaic bottle are so so pretty!! Broken up good will or st. vinnie's or garage sale tea cups and saucers work great for this!
my mother in law always complained how i would leave the dishwashing soap on the counter after doing dishes. This was a great solution. now i can leave the dish soap out and it looks great on the counter because of my pretty bottle.
Ah, I love these! My mom uses old, short and stumpy Ball jars. She puts a hole in the top, puts a soap-dispensing pump through it, and fills it up! Not quite the same, but looks so so pretty in the old jars.
My bathroom will be seen by guests visiting my shop (although it's also my home) – I use these for shampoo, conditioner, etc. where you can see them in my shower on the ledge (or if people get "interested" and peek!)
I've been using an ikea oil dispenser bottle for dish soap for ages. Not only does it look better, but it dispenses a small drop at a time!
Yeah, what is up with 7th Generation's label? It gets so grody. I have always meant to do this with my soap, love the look.
I've been doing this for a while. Two cautions/suggestions: make sure you've sterilized or boiled the bottles you'll use for mouthwash (I also use them for my Torani coffee syrups, homemade raspberry vinaigrette, etc.) and two, Williams-Sonoma makes a wider version of the bar pourer for those bottles that may be too big for the regular-size pourers you've shown in the OP.
Ooohhh…I love this idea!
thank you, what a lovely and incredibly useful idea!
I have done this for a long time with olive oil and vegetable oil(i always buy in bulk) to keep them out on the counter near the stove! And recently my parents brought my hubby a bottle of fabulous Tequila from mexico and I loved the tequila more than he did (mmm margaritas!!) and the glass bottle is fantastic and now houses my dish soap! Such an easy upgrade to add a little sunshine to an ever day chore!
what local stores do you buy the pourers? I have been doing this for sometime but am having trouble finding pourers that are large enough to dispense my dish soap.

Candidate's Wife Douses Reporter With Water
By editor
Originally published on Fri September 28, 2012 7:29 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Every political candidate's family may wish they could do this. The wife of a failed congressional candidate threw a bucket of water on a reporter. Justin Lamar Sternad ran in the Democratic primary. He is suspected of taking money from a Republican to scramble that primary. He put up a warning sign at his home reading: Trespassers will be wet. An inquisitive TV reporter ignored that and video of him splashed in the face became an Internet sensation. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

This was easy to install and looks good. It's nearly invisible and allows the toilet seat and lid to function normally, unlike many others. For someone who just needs more height and not the bars on the sides it's great.

Great idea - poor follow up
By: linda
As needed the 4" hinged seat came with a long bolt. The instructions showed a flat head bold but a half circle/high head bolt came with the seat. Unable to locate a flat head-long bolt at hardware store. Don't look forward to having toilet lid that won't stay in the up position when needed or having to look at toilet bolts. Ruins the decor. Have asked PG for assistance in this matter.

Challenging youth to succeed
Columbia's community leaders and advocates of the black community met Saturday to discuss ways to help change the way black males are viewed and how they view the world.
A forum titled "The Black Male — Our Investment in the Future" featured local author Eliot Battle and panelists who discussed problems facing black males and ways to address the problems.
Cheerleading squads bring it to MU to vie for state title
Loud, energetic music, hopeful coaches and girls with tightly curled ponytails filled the Hearnes Center on Saturday.
After qualifying at regional competitions, squads from 155 high schools across the state attended the Missouri State Cheerleading Championships this weekend. The Missouri Cheerleading Coaches Association sponsored the event.
The perfect home dressed to sell
The back of the house at 1009 Dunbar Drive is a wall of windows, overlooking a large lake where geese sometimes gather. The deck outside the vaulted hearth room is shaded by trees.
The interior of the 3,812-square-foot house has hardwood floors, cherry cabinets and a brick fireplace with custom-built shelves. Downstairs is a "party-size" family/recreation room with its own wet bar.
Appealing opportunity to view court in action
Columbia residents who want to know how the state appellate court system works will get the chance Wednesday, when a three-judge panel from the Western District of the Missouri Court of Appeals convenes at 9 a.m. at the Boone County Courthouse.
The judges — Lisa Hardwick, Robert Ulrich and Thomas Newton — will hear oral arguments in four cases. In between arguments, the judges will explain the proceedings and how the appeals court operates.
City Council thanks volunteer boards
Michael Yoakum is a junior at Rock Bridge High School, and one of more than 200 local residents who serves on the 32 boards and commissions that advise the Columbia City Council. Yoakum recently started a yearlong term on the Substance Abuse Advisory Commission.
Deer hunters start shooting
Saturday's start of the 11-day firearms deer season brings big business for Missouri and a continued effort to curb the growing overpopulation problem among whitetail deer.
Deer posed no threat 80 years ago when there were only about 400 of them in the state. Conservation efforts in the mid-20th century, however, not only restored the herd but also set in motion a population explosion — taking the number of deer in Missouri to nearly 1 million. About 20,000 of the animals are estimated to live in Boone County alone.
County ready to number crunch
With expensive purchases looming, holiday shoppers aren't the only ones trying to get their checkbooks in order.
Boone County Auditor June Pitchford on Monday will present her first draft of a budget for fiscal year 2005 to the Boone County Commission.
Taking careful aim
As the sun creaks over the horizon Saturday morning, scattered gun reports will echo through the hills and valleys of rural Missouri, trumpeting the opening of firearms deer season.
The morning light will find thousands of orange-clad hunters stationed in tree stands and lonely forest hollows, patient and shivering with rifles cold as ice. Many will be in the pursuit of giant bucks.
Frolicky fans flock to farewell
The crowd heading into Paige Sports Arena on Thursday for Cher's farewell tour concert donned black leather chaps without pants, lime green shirts, boas every color of the rainbow and tight, unlaced leather blouses.
Jubilant to be at their first Cher concert, Cindy Mustard, Jennie Griffith and Cherie Campbell — members of the Boone Belles — were convinced that it was the new arena that brought Cher to Columbia. Hardly able to control their laughter, words floated from their lips like bubbles as they lived up to their Red Hat Society motto: Act silly!
Report outlines road tax
A current lack of funding for the city's Major Thoroughfare Plan could mean an increase in the capital improvement sales tax as well as the application of an excise tax on future homes built along the city's edge. That was the preliminary recommendation of a team of consultants hired by the city during the summer to develop the city's transportation financing strategy.
In a Tuesday evening presentation to a 16-member citizens' advisory committee and three members of the public, the consulting team of Stinson Morrison Hecker, TranSystems Corporations and Development Strategies suggested that the city increase the capital improvement sales tax from a ¼ cent to a ½ cent. Such an increase, they said, would provide an extra $6.3 million for city-wide road improvements.
Forum to discuss black image
A group of scholars and residents say a lack of positive black male role models is cause for concern.
"The young men in our community need to see African-American men making positive choices," said the Rev. James Kimbro, pastor for Fifth Street Christian Church and residential clinical manager of the Phoenix Program.
Veterans Day essays recognized
Sally Fritsche, a West Junior High eighth-grader, got a surprise in the mail earlier this month. It was a letter telling Fritsche that she was a winner in the Truman Veterans Hospital Veterans Day essay contest.
"(Veterans) sacrificed a lot, and I don't think we recognize them very much," said Fritsche, the first-place winner in her division. "On Veterans Day, you should thank them and ask them to tell their stories. No one really pays attention. They just see it as another national holiday."
Former state judge speaks out against death penalty
Saying it is possible that innocent people have been executed, a former state Supreme Court judge said Wednesday night that a moratorium should be placed on the death penalty in Missouri.
Charles Blackmar, a judge on the Missouri Supreme Court from 1982 to 1992 and the Court's chief justice from 1989 to 1991, spoke to a group of 60 people at Calvary Episcopal Church in Columbia.
RAMALLAH, West Bank— Yasser Arafat, who triumphantly forced his people's plight into the world spotlight but failed to achieve his lifelong quest for Palestinian statehood, died Thursday at age 75.
The French military hospital where he had been treated since Oct. 29 said he died at 3:30 a.m. The Palestinian leader spent his final days there in a coma. Doctors would not disclose what ailment killed Arafat.
Amendment paves way for $400 million highways upgrade
A portion of tax money set aside for road work in the newly approved Amendment 3 might pay for improvements to some of Columbia's busiest highways.
Those improvements are part of a plan announced Wednesday by the Missouri Department of Transportation to upgrade 2,200 miles of state roads by December 2007.
MSA election results in runoff
MU students voted this week to choose the leaders of their governing body. The result: a runoff election.
The outcome of the Missouri Students Association Executive Election, which was held Nov. 8-10, was announced Wednesday evening in front of Jesse Hall. The runoff election will take place because none of the four presidential tickets received more than the required 35 percent of the vote.
Marijuana prosecutions scaled back in Columbia
The Columbia city prosecutor's office announced new policies on handling marijuana cases Wednesday.
Following voter-approval of Proposition 1 on Nov. 2, marijuana cases will not be prosecuted if defendants have written statements from their doctors allowing marijuana use for serious illnesses. Voters also passed Proposition 2, which effectively decriminalized misdemeanor marijuana possession cases.
A veteran's reflection
Bob May knows his three years in the Navy during World War II could have ended differently.
"I was on the list to go to Midway Island and get ready to invade Japan," May said. "The dropping of the atomic bombs saved my life and probably thousands others like me."
Veterans decry cost of war, cutbacks
The recent "carnage" in Iraq brought back Thomas Hovey's nightmares about war. Only veterans can understand how terrible war is, he said.
Hovey devoted 34 years, seven months and 17 days of his life to the military. He's a disabled veteran. He fought in Korea. He fought in Vietnam. And this Veterans Day, those memories are in his thoughts.
Nixon files for delay in lawsuit
JEFFERSON CITY — Missouri's Democratic attorney general wants to delay a lawsuit challenging the state's formula for funding public schools so the Republican legislature and governor-elect can have time to fix the problems.
The motion filed by Jay Nixon asks the Cole County Circuit Court to postpone action on the lawsuit, which says the foundation formula is unconstitutional because it distributes money to school districts inequitably.

What a great gift!
I bought mine at Walmart and the stones "were" glued until I got it home. I took a small philips screw driver abd poked a hole through them and began lifting chunks of the toppings off. Being careful to stay away from stem until I got it out of pot. Then I gently kinda peeled them away from it. Been 3 months now..replanted in good C&S /perlite soil and it has 2 new crest like growths appearing..1 on top and 1 under.
