Gray and White Worms
I just found some odd-looking gray and white worms on some shoots off of a lemon tree stump. They are feeding on the leaves. I found a similar one some time ago on a small lemon tree that I purchased earlier. That one kept coming back after I'd knock it off until I finally killed it. The are about the size of caterpillars, mostly gray with white patches on them. Any ideas from anyone on what they are?
I went back and found that one had gotten back on the leaves of the lemon tree. Actually, I'm not so sure it's not a slug rather than a caterpillar. It's about 2 inches or so long and the coloring is actually sort of mottled, with dark gray, light gray and some light brown. The only places I've seen them are on lemon leaves.
Giant swallowtail caterpillars look different at various times. At one stage they are brown/gray and with their shape they do look sort of slug like. They also look like a bird dropping to fool predaters.
Here's a picture I took of one on my Satsuma citrus. If it looks anything like this Cheryl is right.
If so -- lucky you! They make beautiful large butterflies.

Ten Commands Every Linux Developer Should Know
This is a more advanced tool and is not for the faint of heart. It's sort of a data-mining tool for object files. A treasure trove of information is encoded inside your object code, and this tool lets you see it. One useful thing this tool can do is dump assembly code mixed with source lines, something gcc -S doesn't do for some reason. Your object code must be compiled with debug (-g) for this to work:
objdump --demangle --source myobject.o
objdump also can help extract binary data from a core file for postmortem debug when you don't have access to a debugger. A complete example is too long for this article, but you need the virtual address from nm or obdump -t. Then, you can dump the file offsets for each virtual address with objdump -x. Finally, objdump is able to read from non-ELF file formats that gdb and other tools can't touch.
This article is not intended as a definitive reference but as a starting point to help you become more productive. Each one of these commands is well documented in the Linux man and info pages. Consult them for more information and more ideas.

absolutely fantastico quick summary for interviews ... especially when people ask you to name your favorite unix/linux commands ... believe me, "they" do ...
Great article
This is the stuff I look for in LJ Magazine.
Kudos to Mr Fusco!
a few more
many of your commands are more beneficial to system administrators than programmers, imho (as i wear both hats), so i add the following:
lsof is the opposite of fuser: instead of what processes have open a file, it tells what files a process has open.
netstat tells what ports are bound to, and will even list the specific processes if you own them.
for debugging network applications, nothing beats ethereal. it's the strace of networking.
i really enjoyed the article and learned some new things (fuser, od, xxd). it's general articles like these (applicable to any serious linux user) that keeps me subscribed to the dead-tree lj.

Latest "Star Wars" rumour to hit, this time coming from The Hollywood Reporter, is that actors Michael Fassbender, Hugo Weaving and "Girls" star Adam Driver are being considered for roles in the upcoming "Star Wars: Episode VII" movie.
This follows on from news earlier this week that "Breaking Bad" star Jesse Plemons is also in talks for a key role in the film, potentially as one of the offsprings of "Star Wars" favorites, Princess Leia, Han Solo or Luke Skywalker. However, he is said to be on a list with many other actors for the unidentified role.
THR also report some interesting information regarding the storyline of Episode VII. It had been widely thought that the offspring of the original trilogies main characters would take center stage in the forthcoming film, but now it appears that may not be the case. Multiple insiders report that since screenwriter Michael Arndt left "Star Wars," the focus has moved from the Solo and Skywalker offsprings, back to Leia, Han and Luke. This was said to be one of the major reasons Michael Arndt was released from writing duties, as director J. J. Abrams wanted to give the classic trio of characters more screen times so audiences could have one more chance to enjoy them before a "fitting send-off." Sources claim that the new characters however will begin to take over as central figures in the new trilogy in the following movies, Episode VIII and Episode IX.
"Star Wars Episode VII" is released across the US and UK from December 18th, 2015.

Documents on deals worth crores seized
Papers for a Rs.400-crore land deal seized
Guns seized from several houses
KOZHIKODE: Continuing its crackdown on hawala dealers in north Kerala, a special police team led by Malappuram district Superintendent of Police P. Vijayan conducted massive raids in various parts of Kozhikode district on Saturday.
Several bank documents and passbooks pointing to transactions of crores of rupees were also seized during the raids conducted at 13 houses in Vadakara, Koduvally and Thamarassery. These documents would be further examined to verify if the transactions had been legal, Mr. Vijayan told journalists in Koyilandy.
Two rifles and an air pistol were also seized from the house of one Pokker at Villiyapally, near Vadakara.
The weapons would be sent for ballistic examination. Three Deputy Superintendents of Police, 13 Circle Inspectors, over 100 police personnel, and 26 Revenue officials were part of the raiding team.
The raids commenced in the morning and lasted till afternoon. No one has been arrested so far, police said.
A similar raid, led by Ernakulam range Inspector General of Police Vinson M. Paul, was carried out at the residences of suspected hawala dealers in Malappuram district in the first week of this month.
A large number of documents and passbooks indicating illegal money transactions worth crores of rupees had been seized in the raids.
A land deal agreement for Rs.400 crore was seized from the residence of Manalaya Shamsudeen at Perinthalmanna.
The deal was for selling 150 acres of land in the possession of Shamsudeen in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, to a company based in that city.
The police had also recovered an imported air pistol from him, police said.
Action to continue
The crackdown on hawala dealers would continue in the coming days.
Last month, the Home Department had constituted a special team headed by Mr. Paul to investigate hawala operations in the State, particularly in north Kerala, Mr. Vijayan said.

Petition alleges contempt of court
An advocate on Thursday issued notice to the State Tourism Secretary and the managing trustee of Tamil Maiyam here stating that they had "wilfully disobeyed" the order of the High Court and "consequently committed contempt of court," in the matter relating to Chennai Sangamam, a cultural festival.
In his notice to S.S. Jawahar, Tourism Secretary and Chairman of Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation (TTDC), and Jegath Gaspar Raj, managing trustee of the Maiyam, M. Radhakrishnan, advocate for P. Pugalenthi, who filed a writ petition seeking to forbear the Tamil Nadu Government and the TTDC from associating themselves with Tamil Maiyam for conducting the festival, cited the TTDC's counter affidavit and the High Court order on the petition on January 7.
The court had ordered that as undertaken by the official authorities, no advertisement issued by the government for popularising the festival should carry the name of Maiyam.
He said in view of the counter affidavit, it was clear the entire advertisement campaign would be undertaken by the Tourism Department.
Despite the court order, all advertisements released in the media carried Tamil Maiyam's name.
Also, the buses deployed by the MTC for the festival displayed the organisation's name.
The invitation of the Tamil Nadu government issued for the function inauguration carried not only the name of Tamil Maiyam as the one inviting the dignitaries along with the Department of Tourism and Culture, but the invitation envelope asserted that the festival was organised only by the organisation.
The notice said the Tourism Secretary and Tamil Maiyam had wilfully disobeyed the court order and consequently committed contempt of court.

2014 Round-up
Security Council
Round-up Release
Seized with a succession of new crises in Europe, the Middle East and across Africa, the Security Council in 2014 tackled an expanding workload in a record number of meetings while seeking to defeat terrorism, prevent conflicts, protect civilians, and improve the effectiveness of sanctions and other tools to quell tensions and neutralize threats.
December saw a significant deterioration of the security situation – compared to the previous month – in nine countries or conflict situations in the world, including in South Asia (Pakistan and India), and East Africa (South Sudan and Kenya). There is a risk of increased violence in the coming month in Sudan, where major offensives are anticipated on the heels of a failure in the peace talks; in Sri Lanka, in the context of the 8 January elections; and in Haiti, where the current president could rule by decree unless parliament's mandate, due to expire on 12 January, is extended.
Terrorism and cross-border crime in Africa would be a major focus at the Security Council in December as the body continued to closely watch a range of crises worldwide, the Permanent Representative of Chad, whose delegation holds the Council presidency for the month, said this afternoon.
En cette fin d'année 2014, les travaux du Conseil de sécurité, qui sera présidé pour la première fois par le Tchad, seront largement consacrés aux questions africaines. Au cours de la conférence de presse qu'il a donnée cet après-midi au Siège de l'ONU, le Représentant permanent du Tchad auprès des Nations Unies, M.
The U.S. expanded its aerial campaign against Islamic State (IS) militants in late September with strikes in Syria's north and east. The operation, which targets both IS and fighters linked to al-Qaeda's central leadership and the affiliated group Jabhat al-Nusra, risks alienating other rebel groups in Syria and strengthening support for IS.
The Goal
This report has a simple and urgent goal: to connect decision-makers and relevant actors with strategies that prevent and respond to violence in the lives of children.
The fight for control of Libya between the Misrata-led Islamist-leaning coalition and the Zintan-led forces is escalating by the day. Hundreds have been killed and thousands displaced in over six weeks of clashes and heavy artillery fire. The Misrata side emerged victorious in the battle over Tripoli's international airport, taking control of the capital, and made advances around Benghazi, but the larger political divide remains unresolved.
From the director
I had the pleasure of joining the IDMC team in 2013, taking the helm from Kate Halff, who after four years of the excellent work and dedicated service, left the organisation in May.
2013 was another year of turmoil for many. Conflicts and disasters worldwide forced millions of people to flee their homes, leaving many stuck in limbo within the borders of their own country.

Troop Reimbursement Rates for First Time in Years
The General Assembly today acted on the recommendations of its Fifth Committee (Administrative and Budgetary), adopting 24 resolutions and two decisions focused largely on a key aspect of the Capital Master Plan, a new staff mobility framework, enhanced reimbursements for police- and troop-contributing countries, and the Organization's peacekeeping budgets.

Joint IDMC-UNHCR press release - A record 33.3 million now displaced by war worldwide, as one family flees inside Syria every 60 seconds - Report
33.3 million people were internally displaced at the end of 2013 due to conflict and violence says a new report by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). This equates to a staggering increase of 4.5 million from 2012, signalling a record high for the second year running.
En esta octava edición del Anuario de Procesos de Paz se analizan los conflictos en los que se llevan a cabo negociaciones para llegar a un acuerdo de paz, con independencia de que estas negociaciones estén formalizadas, se encuentren en fase exploratoria, transcurran satisfactoriamente o, por el contrario, se encuentren estancadas o en plena crisis. También se analizan algunos casos donde las negociaciones o exploraciones son parciales, es decir, que no abarcan la totalidad de los grupos armados presentes en un país (caso de la India, por ejemplo).
As the ICRC Water and Habitat Unit celebrates its 30th anniversary, we look back at some of the ICRCs most significant water, sanitation and shelter operations over the last three decades.
In 1859, four years before the ICRC was formed, our founder Henry Dunant made water one of his priorities as he struggled to help wounded soldiers after the Battle of Solferino. Thirty years ago, our awareness of the essential role of water, sanitation and habitat for the victims of conflict led us to create the Water and Habitat Unit, known as "WatHab."

Concluding its second resumed substantive session, the Fifth Committee (Administrative and Budgetary) today recommended financial arrangements for 14 United Nations peacekeeping operations for the year beginning 1 July 2013 and ending 30 June 2014, which, once approved by the General Assembly, would exceed the previous year's figure due to the addition of a new mission for Mali.
New research commissioned by AusAID highlights the urgent need for increased action to prevent sexual violence during conflict and after crises. Hundreds of thousands of women are affected by sexual violence during conflict, and many more are at risk.
This eighth edition of the Yearbook on Peace Processes analyses conflicts in which negotiations are being held to reach a peace agreement, regardless of whether these negotiations are formalised, are in the exploratory phase, are faring well or, to the contrary, are stalled or in the midst of crisis. It also analyses some cases in which negotiations or explorations are partial; that is, they do not include all the armed groups present in the country (such as the case of India, for example).
On the occasion of the 38th Annual Meeting of the IDB Board of Governors held in Dushanbe, Republic of Tajikistan, a number of financing agreements have been signed under which the Bank shall participate in financing new development projects in (10) member countries (in addition to the Republic of Kosovo) for a total amount of USD230.9 million , The details are as follows:

Help: how to remove years of smoke/cigarette smell from wood?
I really would appreciate your help with my problem: how to remove the smoke smell from my cherry wood veneer diningroom set.
We received a cherry wood/veneer diningroom set and boy, it is SOAKED with cigarette smell.
Yes, I am a non-smoker and am VERY sensitive to smoke smell. I got a headache from smelling the smoke just from cleaning/dusting off the hutch!
I've dusted it.
IÂve sprayed the area w/ Oust.
IÂve wiped down the glass (of the hutch) with Windex.
I've cleaned it w/ Murphy's soap (diluted w/ water).
I've used Pledge on it.
I've aired it out for ~2weeks.
I've put charcoal in the drawers.
IÂve put little bowls of vinegar in the hutch.
IÂve called furniture restoration places and they told me they have trouble w/ removing odors from wood. They suggested calling cleaners that handle clean-ups after fires, etc.
Anyone have any success with removing cigarette smell?
Thank you very much,
Its a problem. What I would do is wipe everything down on exterior wood with mineral spirits after moving everything outside (smelly in itself, but tends to go neutral after it flashes off). Apply a coat of paste wax to exterior surfaces afterwards.
I would then coat all the interior wood and bottoms/backs of all pieces with with a spray coat of either Shellac or Lacquer, which effective seals the wood. Most of the smoke odor is 'soaked' into the wood where it is no sealed (the unfinished areas) and by sealing it up, you can cut it down considerably. This will be a lot of work, but the most effective way to deal with it.
Start with a good cleaning. More than what you have done.
I got some smoke remover from a disaster recovery supplier a number of years ago, then put it on the shelf and forgot about it. I looked up the ingredients in the MSDS and it appears to be very similar to mechanics' hand cream, Go-Jo (the original cream not the type with pumice). It's an emulsified mineral spirits. Subsequently, I read a restoration book and the author loves to use DL Blue Label to clean up antiques. It would be worth experimenting.
As far as sealing the unfinished wood, 'thecollector' is right. Shellac is an excellent odor sealer.
If all else fails, find a place that has an ozone booth (moving companies and disaster recovery companies often have these) and pay to have it put in there.
Here is a link that might be useful: Aerosol shellac
Thank you very much for your advice.
So right now I'm cleaning the hutch base (buffet) (again) with TSP.
It's sitting in the sun to dry.
1 more question: the 5 drawers are lined w/ ?felt or something. It STINKS of smoke! I'm planning on using the spray shellac on the interior/unfinished wood.
--> Can I use this shellac on the felt also?
It's attached to the drawer, so it can't be removed.
Thank you!
Regarding the paste wax:
--> do I need to get one specifically for dark wood or can I use a CLEAR or AMBER paste wax?
I've only found CLEAR, AMBER, or for LIGHT WOOD paste wax. I can order a paste wax for DARK WOOD (see link below).
Thank you for your advice on removing the felt.
I think I have a good chance at saving this diningroom set.
I've removed the felt from 1 drawer and sprayed it w/ shellac. The drawer doesn't smell at all.
I have plans to clean off the front (not sprayed) of the drawer (rest of hutch) w/ TSP again and put it in the sun to "cook off" the rest of the smoke smell.
Then I'll apply the the paste wax.
Again, thank you.
Here is a link that might be useful: Minwax paste wood for dark wood
>Will mineral spirits take any of the finish off the wood?
Generally no. It will dissolve waxes. It can also dissolve Gilsonite, a tar-like substance that is sometimes used as a stain, but usually that's sealed in with a finish.
In the tens of thousands of pieces I've worked on, only one had any reaction to mineral spirits. It was a rustic black piece, probably from Mexico, and mineral spirits pulled off some color. Not enough to effect it, but I stopped there. It was restoration from a fire, so it may have been smoke or some of the colorant.
Varnishes, though thinned with mineral spirits, cure by polymerization and mineral spirits is not a solvent for them, it's a thinner. Big difference. (In the odd world of finish terminology, though, Lacquer Thinner is the solvent for lacquer. Because part of it is alcohol, it will also dissolve shellac.)
But the real test is to try it out on an obscure place.
I'm going to toss my thoughts into the ring here .
I agree with all of the suggestions , but they are most likely maybe's to your problem . As someone already said the odor has seeped into the wood/finish .
The only 100% foolproof way to rid the furniture of the smell/odor is to refinish it . This removes the old finish as well as a very ,very thin layer of the wood ( during sanding ) . This will effectively remove the odor 100% .
All the other options are more or less going to trap the odor and mask it . Some will be removed from the mineral spirits cleaning , but not likely enough . Especially since you noted you're very sensitive to the smoke odor .
If you've used Pledge on the pieces, you may have already ruined your chances of refinishing. I believe Pledge contains silicone, which is nearly impossible to remove and will cause "fisheyes" in any future finishes. It's best to try to save the current finish and stop using the Pledge.

Ship upgrade (should be a must)
View Single Post

Lt. Commander
Join Date: Dec 2007

What about instead of being able to make it the same as the different tiers we try something a little different. Say at Lt 5 and every 10 levels you can upgrade one ship of the same tier or lower. I.E. Tier 1 upgrade could only be used on the Miranda and the Tier 2 could be used only on the Miranda or Excalibur. The upgrade would give a 10% boost in stats since I seem to remember that the difference between each tier is about 20%.
It would then give you a choice to do one of the following.
Add one weapons slot fore or aft (max 4 fore and aft)
Add a bridge station (max 2 of each)
Promote a bridge station one rank, up to one rank below you (max Commander)
Add a console upgrade slot (max 4 of each)
This gives you a total of 5 upgrades and would allow you to keep a favorite ship upgraded to be mildly competitive but inferior to the ships of the tier. For example you could take Constitution with 4 upgrades and add 2 weapons for a 3/3 layout, promote you Lt Eng to a LtC and add an Ens Tac station. I don't think this would be overpowered personally since it still wouldn't be as good as a Tier 5 but updates it to be a bit more competitive and allows you to personalize your ship a bit more.

On November 17th 2010, PADI and the world's major Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) manufacturers came together at the DEMA Show in Las Vegas, USA to hear PADI's vision of where rebreather technology may head in the future, and to receive an outline of PADI's new CCR programs due for release in 2011. The Meeting was chaired by Mark Caney - Vice President of Rebreather Technologies (PADI Technical Diving Division), and PADI was also represented by other PADI Technical Diving Division Executives including; Terry Cummins (Director Market Development), Karl Shreeves (Director of Decompression Diving) and James Morgan (Director of Advanced Wreck Diving). Pascal Dietrich, Technical Consultant at PADI Europe, and Jeff Nadler of PADI Americas were also in attendance.
Crucially, over 30 executives representing the cream of the world's CCR manufacturers were present, including AP Diving, Diverite, Dräger, Hollis/Oceanic, KISS, Innerspace Systems, Micropore Inc, Poseidon, Shearwater, Silent Diving, Titan, Revo and VR Technology. One of the most exciting outcomes of the meeting was the decision by the manufacturers to form the Rebreather Education and Safety Association (RESA) to set a higher degree of cooperation amongst CCR manufacturers. It is intended that this group will also address manufacturing standards and some of the issues that will make their products more appealing to a greater audience.

Blue Seed DVD Complete Collection (Hyb) (Thinpak)
Ron Frechette - Mar 1 2011 email@example.com
Rating: Pretty good!
Oldie but a goodie
ADV's first long format series. Wow. This takes me back. I remember renting this on VHS and shelling out for the boxed set back when $100 was the norm rather than the exception because Hollywood Video didn't have the end. I had to see how it ended, and I wasn't disappointed.
Good stuff. Great artwork, animation still holds up, well constructed story, and one of the earliest examples of a great English dub in a long format.
This is still one of my "go to" shows for people new to anime in the horror/sci-fi genre.
Sadly, ADV is gone, but Long live Section 23! Especially if they keep bringing back some of these classics.

6 or 7 years ago I purchased pergo presto red oak blocked from Home Depot. I'm now remodeling the original remodel and am in need of 3 more boxes of this product. I went back to Home Depot and had to special order but have just now discovered that the red oak blocked pergo presto I received does not have the same interlocking mechanism as the original. Did Pergo change the way they interlock since I installed the original floor or did I just order the wrong version? The number on the new stuff is 4709 and I honestly don't remember the original number I purchased.
Hopefully someone "listening" in on this site has some of the old product they are willing to part with. I plan to call the Pergo hotline Monday and find out if the original product is manufactured anymore but I'm not very hopeful.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure which Pergo Red Oak Block you are referring to in your post. The orginal Pergo (where you had to glue the planks together) Red Oak Block is 2230. Years later Pergo came out with the lock-in flooring, that Red Oak Block is 4577. I have extra of both of the above flooring. It has been in a spare bedroom for years.

Continuity remains the Spurs' hallmark
The Spurs entered the offseason in a position almost unheard of for a team that had just come within seconds of winning their fifth championship.

Why the Spurs lost
It will be no solace to the Spurs or their fans that they pushed the Heat to the absolute limit in a clean, professional Finals that will go down as one of the greatest championship series in NBA history.

MIAMI — It isn't often that Gregg Popovich, winner of four NBA championships and arguably the most respected coach in the league, finds himself being second-guessed.

How and why do religions change, and what happens when different systems of religious belief and practice come into contact? This introduction to the anthropology of religion explores these questions and others through in-depth case studies from the ethnographic literature, comparisons made across cultures, and the theoretical works of anthropologists and other scholars. Though some attention is given to the world's major religions, the course emphasizes the religious traditions of indigenous peoples around the globe. Offered alternate years. (Students may use this course to fulfill either the second Religion requirement or the Human Behavior requirement, but not both.) (Rel, HB, Intcl)
ANTH 208 Medical Anthropology
4 hours
Medical Anthropology explores health, illness, disease, and medicine across the globe. Using anthropological principles, we explore interactions between various ethnomedical systems, including biomedicine; healers, healing professions and the production of medical knowledge; ideologies of the body; beginnings and ends of life; the role of new biomedical technologies and the pharmaceutical industry; the social construction of disease and disability; political and moral economies of health in the global context, among other topics. We will discover how medical knowledge and practices are constructed culturally. We will also learn to recognize how transnational exchanges of people, goods, ideas, and capital influence our health and healing practices. Our course will focus on some key texts in medical anthropology theory as well as new ethnographies that address intercultural encounters in medical settings. (HB, Intcl)
ANTH 210 Qualitative Research Methods in Anthropology
4 hours
This course will introduce students to qualitative research methods in anthropology. The goal is to provide training and hands-on experience in designing a research project, carrying out ethnographic fieldwork, and analyzing the data. Students will get an opportunity to work on projects of their choice and select appropriate methodologies, including participant observation, different types of interviewing, and other systematic observation techniques. Students will learn how to construct interview schedules, administer sorting and ranking surveys, use time recall questionnaires, ethnographic taxonomies, life histories, genealogies, and focus groups. The writing component will include field notes, reports, and personal journals. Students will engage in multiple re-writes of their final reports, aided by peer review. In this process, we will pay special attention to ethics involving research with human subjects. Offered alternate years. Prerequisite: ANTH 101. (HBSSM)
ANTH 211 Quantitative Research Methods in Anthropology
4 hours
Effectively understanding cultural behavior requires asking the right questions and correctly interpreting the resulting answers. Often, the best way to address these questions requires the collection of quantitative data. This course will use case studies from cultural anthropology, archaeology, and physical anthropology, as well as student-generated research as means for learning how to design anthropologically relevant research questions, identifying the appropriate ways of acquiring the data required to successfully address these questions, and evaluating the results. Finally, we will address the ethics of anthropological research. Prerequisite: ANTH 101 or 104. (HBSSM)
ANTH 221 Anthropology in East Africa: Culture Change Among the Maasai
4 hours
The Maasai pastoralists of Tanzania and Kenya are experiencing rapid culture change in response to global, national, and local forces. In this course we will study "traditional" Maasai culture and examine the ways in which the Maasai of northern Tanzania are adapting to changing social, political, economic, and environmental conditions. Topics to be explored include the shift from herding to agropastoralism; the tension between traditional and formal modes of education; the adoption of Christianity in place of or alongside traditional religion; changes in coming-of-age rituals; cultural dimensions of health, illness and healing; challenges to traditional gender ideology; the Maasai relationship to their environment; and the impacts of ecotourism, cultural tourism, and wildlife conservation programs on the pastoral way of life. From bases near the city of Arusha and the small town of Monduli students will interact with Maasai people in urban and rural marketplaces; in schools, medical facilities, and places of worship; and at Maasai bomas (family compounds) in the bush. We will also visit the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation area and the Oldoinyo Lengai volcano and pilgrimage routes in order to explore the tension between pastoralism, wildlife conservation programs, and tourism. Offered January Term. (Same as AFRS 221) (HBSSM, Intcl)
ANTH 264 Pre-Columbian and Native American Art
4 hours
This course will examine the diverse artistic traditions of the Americas from the precontact period to the present day. Emphasis will be placed on situating artistic production within its cultural context and examining how precontact practices continue to inform contemporary artistic production. No prerequisite. (Same as ART 264) (HEPT, Intcl)
ANTH 285/295 Directed Study
2,4 hours
An opportunity to pursue individualized or experiential learning with a faculty member, at the sophomore level or above, either within or outside the major. ANTH 285 can be taken only during January Term, ANTH 295 can be taken during the fall, spring, or summer terms.

Sick rubble claims
Town campers say rubble left over from the demolished Melanka's site is making them sick.

Town campers say rubble left over from the demolished Melanka's site is making them sick.
The demolition of the buildings on the Melanka Backpackers site in Alice Springs last year left large quantities of rubble to get rid of.
Much of the cement from the site was taken by local Norm Gardiner who needed clean landfill to raise the level of his plot of land on Smith Street.
Now some of his neighbours, town camp residents, say the waste is making them sick.
Mr Gardiner's block is behind the industrial area and it borders Namitjira town camp and sits across the road from Trucking Yards town camp.
Audrey McClintock, a resident of Trucking Yards camp, told the ABC that she and several kids in the camp have been suffering the same symptoms.
"Because there was a bit of breeze and trucks going up and down kicking up a lot of dust, well I ended up getting sore eyes out of it.
"I think a couple of them kids had sore eyes, runny nose.
"I just feel angry about it.
"I mean, whoever bought that little block of land he should have found other means to put his rubbish somewhere else.
"There are two town camps on either side; they don't give a stuff who lives there."
Rumours have begun circling that asbestos - which was found on the Melanka site before it was demolished -could be making them sick.
But Mr Gardiner dismisses this idea.
"The project was cleared of asbestos before demolition started and there was certification to say that any materials carted off the site were definitely asbestos-free."
The Department of Environment told the ABC they tested the rubble and found no traces of asbestos.
Mr Gardiner says the real problem is that other people see his rows of clean fill and think it is a rubbish dump.
"It's basically concrete and concrete blocks and unfortunately there is a fairly large contingent of people utilising the area for a dump. There are all sorts of things there."
But this won't be the case for much longer.
"We intend that there will be people on site at the end of this week to start cleaning up the site and then we will start crushing and mixing and placing the material," says Mr Gardiner.
"Then we'll do a final clean up and that will be the end of it."
He also says he'll be more communicative with residents from the surrounding town camps.
"We'll make sure we do that but also we'll have plenty of water available on the site, we'll be looking to minimise any impact on the surrounding areas."

The Duke would be impressed....pilgrim.
Jetline lighters are affordable, reliable, and highly functional. In fact, when it comes to price, few can compete with Jetline's impressive lineup. Packing all the necessities, and a few frills too, these trustworthy lighters provide everything you need, at a wallet-friendly price.
The Jetline El Dorado lighter is a unit you definitely want to keep close by. Lighting cigars is second nature for this hefty, highly functional piece. Featuring a super-hot triple-flame torch and push-down punch, it's no wonder this is so popular. Plus, the rubber grips on the back ensure not only comfort, but help prevent slips and drops.
"Forget the "expensive high end" lighters .......this by far is the best lighter I have ever purchased !"
"Nice lighter but be aware the shipping takes 3 weeks because it's flammable. Also, it had enough fuel for about 4-5 cigars before it ran out. If they were going to ship it with that little fuel, they should just ship it without the fuel and then I would have received it in a few days. I do like it, and would recommend it. I especially like the built-in punch/cutter."
"Works as well as expected. That is it works very well."
"I bought this as gift for my father. He loves it. Three torch is just right. I have found anything over a 3 torch just goes though the juice too fast. The built in punch works great. I liked it so much that I went back to by one for myself but they are on backorder."
"Love it and works awesome!!!"

Legend tomato
Is Legend open pollinated or hybrid?
One seller lists it as F1. One seller lists it as 90 days, while others list as 68 days... Least they all seem to agree that it is determinate.
Any comments on it will be appreciated.
Legend is OP. It was bred by Dr. Jim Baggett, now retired, at Oregon State University.
It was bred for Late Blight tolerance, P. infestans, which can appear early or late in the season and is a significant problem in the PNW.
But I have yet to see anyone who has grown it say it has significant tolerance to P. infestans and I have yet to see anyone say much positive about the taste other than to say it might be good for juice or sauces.
Carolyn, who notes that ALL of the tomato varieties bred by Dr. Baggett are OP.
Thanks. I think Dave's garden is the only one that has it right. Why in the world would a seed compamy advertise it as F1? ..and others keep on repeating the nonsence. I see a lot of this when I "research" on varities. Nice to be able to talk to the one who "wrote the book".
I grew Legend this year from seed from Thompson and Morgan. They list it as 98 days and F1. I'm thinking the 98 days may be from sowing seed, instead of from transplant. Maybe that is how this English company lists things....most all of their tomatoes showed longer DTM than I would expect. Or maybe in England tomatoes grow slower due to cooler summers...I don't know. As to the F1 listing....haven't a clue why they show that.
And now that I know for sure the F1 is wrong, I'm off to squeeze some seeds out of several ripe Legends that are sitting on my counter. They grew well for me, but the garden they were in had several varieties of tomatoes and not any of them had foliage disease problems. Too bad I didn't have a Legend or two at the other site I gardened at. That would have been a better test since many of the plants there looked bad by September.
I'm not a good one to ask about taste. I'll try to pay more attention as I eat the last ones.
After having the seed sitting around several years I finally grew Legend and was pleasantly surprised. I did think it showed more tolerance to blight than most of the other varieties and while it was rather late it had a heavy set of nice round 3" slicers that kept coming late in the season, and an acceptable taste. The plants got quite tall and were very healthy and robust.

Francoeur was listed at sixth in the lineup, playing right field. He was hitting .278 this spring prior to the injury.
He did not disappoint, smacking two home runs in his first two at-bats.
"He's shown a good bat," manager Ryne Sandberg said to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "The ball really comes off his bat well when he hits it well. He's shown a good arm in the outfield. He's an interesting guy."
Sandberg also said Francoeur was held out for precautionary reasons.
"We're going to work one on one, and that's what I've been looking forward to all offseason," Francoeur said of Manuel. "When they told me he'd be here the whole time and I'd have the opportunity to work with him, it was a no-brainer for me. I've always respected him. I'm looking forward to working with him big-time."
Francoeur nearly had a chance to work with Manuel four years ago, when he was a free agent and the Phillies, with Manuel as manager, were interested. The outfielder instead chose to sign with the Royals.
"I've talked to Jim Thome, Jayson Werth, and they swear by Charlie. He knows so much about hitting. To be honest with you, I felt like if I could get here and get a chance to work with him and do what I can, I've still got a lot of good years ahead of me. I feel that way. I'm getting smarter about my body and different things."
Francoeur faces an uphill battle to make the Phillies roster, with Darin Ruf, Ben Revere and Domonic Brown listed as the projected starters and Grady Sizemore sitting in the primary reserve role, but he has a fan in the former Phillies manager.
"He's got talent," Manuel said of Francoeur. "I was kind of surprised when I talked to him. He knows hitting. He knows who he is now. When he was young, his adrenaline would get going and he'd overswing a lot. He's definitely got a chance to be a good hitter. I've always liked the way he hit. Hopefully, we can get him back to where he was a few years ago. I used to always talk to him. He's that kind of player. He has a tremendous personality. He smiles. He's upbeat. He brings energy. If we can get him to where he was a couple years ago, then he's still got a chance to be a good player. That's all I can tell you."
Francoeur went just 2 for 24 at the major-league level last year, spending most of his time with Triple-A El Paso and hitting .289/.320/.450 with 15 home runs, 69 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 456 at-bats.
Francoeur went 2 for 24 and drew three walks in 10 appearances with the major-league team. He has hit .294/.325/.465 with 15 home runs, 60 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 391 at-bats with El Paso.
Francoeur managed just two hits in 24 at-bats during a three-week stint with San Diego to continue what has been a steady fall in his career. His average has fallen from .285 to .235 to .204 to .083 over the last four seasons.
Outfield prospect Rymer Liriano is being promoted from Double-A San Antonio to El Paso, and outfielder Alex Dickerson will be promoted from Class A Eugene to San Antonio.
Francoeur did a solid job with the Indians this spring, hitting .286/.359/.429 with one home run and 10 RBI in 35 at-bats. He accumulated 245 at-bats between two major-league teams last season, hitting .204/.238/.298 with three home runs and 17 RBI.
The move comes as a mild surprise in that Francoeur was having a strong spring. But he has struggled in his career since a fine season with Kansas City in 2011.
Coming off a season in which he batted .204 with only 15 extra-base hits in 245 at-bats, Francoeur had LASIK surgery this offseason and will no longer use a 35-ounce bat.
"I think he's been throwing out some good at-bats," Bochy told CSN Bay Area. "Give him a chance to get settled in. He's a proven major league hitter, and this offense needs help. It's a good time to throw him out there and try to lengthen our lineup."
The right-hand-hitting Francouer, who was in Wednesday's starting lineup facing right-hander Mike Leake, is 4 of 18 with one RBI and one stolen base since joining the Giants.
Francoeur singled in the second inning and was 1 for 4 in a 10-1 loss. He's hitting .209 with three home runs and 13 RBI in 187 at-bats.
Francoeur is expected to platoon in left field for the Giants after he appeared in four games at Triple-A. Francoeur hit .208 with a .571 OPS in 183 at-bats for the Royals before he was waived.
Francoeur was released by the Royals Friday, and was drawing interest from a few teams before settling on the Giants. He's hitting .209/.250/.324 in 182 at-bats.
Francoeur hit just .209 for the Royals, with a .574 OPS in 182 at-bats. He hit just three home runs and had 13 RBI in 58 games.
Francoeur appeared to turn a corner in his first season with the Royals, hitting .285 with 20 home runs and a career-best .805 OPS in 2011. He earned a two-year contract for that year, but has a .643 OPS in 743 at-bats since.
The Royals will be an outfielder heavy and Francoeur and rookie David Lough seem to be the best options to send out.
Francoeur is batting .212 this season and has gone just 2 for 14 (.143) in June with five strikeouts.
Francouer hit two singles and a double during the game. He scored one run and added one RBI. Francoeur has struggled to begin the year, hitting .226/.264/.316 in 133 at-bats.
Royals manager Ned Yost said he would start Jarrod Dyson in center and Lorenzo Cain in left while Francoeur attempts to get through his struggles. Francoeur is hitting just .226/.266/.322 in 118 at-bats this season. Both Dyson and Cain have gotten off to strong starts, and Francoeur may have trouble finding his way back into a starting role.
"It's not a platoon. Frenchy is going to play (Sunday) against (Hiroki) Kuroda," Yost told the Kansas City Star. "Whoever starts is the starter. It changes day to day for no reason other than that this guy is hot or because of the matchup."
I feel Francoeur is just off to a slow start. Some numbers that intrigue me, per FanGraphs.com, is Francoeur is making just 70.9 percent contact with pitches inside the strike zone and 66.3 percent contact rate, which has led to a career-high 19.6 percent swinging strike rate. Francoeur's career strike zone contact rate is 85 percent, contact rate is 78.9 percent and swinging strike rate is 12.4 percent.
You can definitely see he is way off his norms and to me that signals Francoeur is due for a positive market correction, which makes for a good buy-low candidate. Now, he's still going to hurt Fantasy owners because of his strikeout rate, but if you are scouring the waiver wire for outfield help, then Francoeur could be a promising candidate.
Francoeur has also grounded into a pair of double plays, has one stolen base and has accounted for four runs.
The 29-year-old Francoeur hit .266 this spring over 79 at-bats with three homers, 14 RBI and a stolen base. One of the best fielding right fielders in the American League, Francoeur hit just .235 last year over 148 games for Kansas City. He hit 16 homers and drove in 49 runs.
