Instrument innovations that hit the right note in 2013
It's been another bumper year for new musical instruments. Join us as we look back on some of 2013's high points, including inventions that dare you to play out of tune, new takes on familiar designs, and simply stunning 3D-printed creations. Read More
Beatbuddy gives you hands-free control of the beat
Though noodling is a whole lot of fun, and fingertip calluses certainly need regular workouts, there are times when it would be good to have your very own John Bonham or Mitch Mitchell to provide a rock-steady beat. Playing along to backing tracks or engaging the help of loopers, drum machines or rhythm boxes can work to some degree, but there's little or no room for improvisation or creativity unless you take your hands away from the guitar to mix things up a bit. Billed as the first guitar pedal drum machine, the Beatbuddy from David Packouz puts control of the beat at your feet, leaving your hands free to get on with some serious shredding. Read More
ODD band to play 3D-printed instruments at Frankfurt gig
Kiwi Professor of Mechtronics Olaf Diegel has now added a set of drums and a keyboard to his catalog of beautiful 3D-printed instruments. His new creations will join guitar and bass models for a road trip to Frankfurt's EuroMold event next month, where a band will take to the stage to play some live sets using the instruments.

Roland releases HandSonic HPD-20 digital hand percussion instrument
Through many of us may kitchen-top-finger-tap or office-desk-thumb-drum out of impatience or boredom, folks like Jeremy Ellis and Wilhelm Grahsl have turned it into an impressive art form, with a little help from some digital friends. The latest version of the latter's hand percussion weapon of choice has now been released, the Roland HandSonic HPD-20. Read More
Yamaha's updated DTX502 Series e-drums made their US debut at the Summer NAMM Show in Nashville at the weekend, and are now ready to ship. The three new kits were originally launched at Hamburg's Musikmesse in April, and feature revamped drum pads, a realistic vertical-motion hi-hat, a lighter steel rack, and a brand new trigger module that the company claims is more powerful than anything in its class. Read More
Over the years, we've seen a number of worthy attempts at turning our clothes into electronic instruments, from drum kits built into shirts and pants to a motion-activated MIDI controller concealed in a jacket. The latest addition to the wearable instrument ensemble is "Drop The Beat" from industrial design student Wesley Chau, a vest outfitted with pads for a drum kit that musicians can rearrange and reprogram to their liking.

If you get regularly get caught in standstill traffic during your daily commute, Smack Attack could be for you. Pounding your fists on the steering wheel cover's eight touch sensors produces drum sounds over the top of whatever music you're listening to from your iPhone's music library. While it may look like something of a dangerous distraction, its inventor claims that it could actually help prevent accidents by keeping drivers stimulated and alert. Read More
Weird and wonderful: the best instruments of 2012
Should you find yourself thinking about supergroups, you'll likely center on the famous names that make up the bands and not the instruments they use. Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, for example, rather than the double-necked Gibson EDS-1275, or Cream's Jack Bruce instead of his Gibson EB-3, or Brad Wilk of Audioslave/RATM and not the custom Gretsch drumkits he uses. Being as much fans of the tech behind the hits as the talented folks who create them, we've grouped together a super collection of favorite music-making gadgets from the past year. Read More
If you're a fan of 1980s music, then there's a very good chance that you'll already be familiar with the electronic beats provided by what's widely regarded as the drum machine that started it all, Roland's TR-808. It set the mood for Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing, fired shots at David Byrne in the concert movie Stop Making Sense and was the inspiration for the naming of the band 808 State. In his own homage to the iconic device, electronic music tinkerer Moritz Simon Geist has mechanically reproduced 11 of its key sounds using real instruments played by robots within the supersized, wall-filling frame of the stunning MR-808. Read More
Electronic drum kit folds up for under arm portability
Surely no working drummer would seriously entertain the use of drum pants or t-shirts to make the burden of transporting and setting up a kit a little easier, but even conventional acoustic skin bashers might give electronic drums a whirl. The e-drumkit takes up much less room in the back of the band's van, is always in tune and can sound just like the real thing, or just about anything else you might want the various pads to sound like. In the case of Roland's new TD-4KP V-Drums Portable, the whole setup can be collapsed down and carried under the arm. Read More

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|6 - 7 nights
Feel at home in Bonaire when you stay at our adorable townhouse. Comfortable, very pretty and priced right, we are directly on a peaceful inlet leading into the Caribbean Sea.
This apartment is a fantastic value as you have your own high speed internet connection, use of a cell phone, cable TV, washing machine for clothes, dishwasher, full kitchen, on-site parking, on-site dive shop, swimming pool and kid's pool, safe, water views, air conditioning, two minute walk to a great beach and much more.
For divers our on-site shop, Div' Ocean Bonaire is a an excellent choice and value. If you stay here you get 15% off air/nitrox shore dive packages. Two other great dive shops, Tropical Divers Toucan Diving at the Plaza Hotel are both within a 5 minute walk or 1 minute drive.
For windsurfers we are about a 10 minute drive from Sorobon Beach where you will find the only two windsurf schools and rental shops on the island, Jibe City Bonaire and Bonaire Windsurf Place.
The apartment is located less than one mile from downtown Kralendijk. We are only 5 to 10 minutes walking to some of the best restaurants on the island. A rental car is HIGHLY recommended, however, because Bonaire offers so much to see and do outside of the downtown area.
Most of our guests rent an apartment rather than a hotel in part because they want to be able to prepare their own meals. With that in mind we've done our best to provide everything you need to eat in comfortably: Refrigerator; freezer; microwave/ convection oven combination; dishwasher; coffee maker; There is even a Braun electronic orange juice maker. And of course every utensil imaginable and plenty of dishes.
There is a washing machine in the apartment for light washing of your things while here. (towels and clothes dry in the sun outside on the terrace!)
Comfortable queen bed with mattress topper and air-conditioning in bedroom. Twin bed also with comfortable mattress topper in living room for a third guest. Smaller fold out daybed also available for a fourth guest. Beautiful patterned linens throughout come from designer John Robshaw, New York.
There are reading lights attached to the wall above the bed in the bedroom and behind the sofa in the living room so that you can cuddle up and catch up on your reading while relaxing at home.
The condominium complex Caribbean Court Bonaire has about 50 apartments. All apartments are owned privately. The resort is bordered on the south side by the oceanfront Plaza Hotel, where you may enjoy the beach, pool (small fee), dive shop, restaurant, grounds and other facilities. Plaza also offers movie night every Thursday under the stars, salsa dancing on Mondays, happy hour at the oceanfront bar every night, a kids program (while parents are out diving) and other activities for all ages.
The apartment will be cleaned before and after your stay. Additional cleanings can be arranged upon request. We currently live on-site and will be happy to help arrange any extras you are interested in and assist you in any way possible during your stay. (Ask about car or bike rental, windsurfing, diving, etc.)
For two families traveling together, we do have another similar, slightly larger condo in the same complex. The calender reflects the combined availability of the two apartments.

Marji is a landlord and windsurfing wondermom. She loves living year round on Bonaire.
Marji Keith (owner) purchased this townhome in 2005
Stayed 10 nights In the Blue View. From the moment we got there we knew we struck gold! Just the place for us....top floor (3), everything we needed and a dive shop on premises. We could live there quite comfortably and not have to purchase a thing. The breeze that blows through that apartment is amazing. In fact, we had to throttle it down with the sliders! Marji even provided a prepaid phone which we didn't use but was very reassuring to have along with us. The apartment is fairly close to the airport but planes don't fly in late at night so it was a non-issue. This place is QUIET....just what we needed and convenient to everything, diving, groceries, restaurants/shops, etc. We did not get to meet Marji as she was off-island but her communication with us was spot-on for everything. Hangers and drying rack for gear/clothing on the screened-in porch was a nice touch. A washing machine is in the apartment as well. The pool was lovely and completely vacant each time we used it. The grounds are kept up nicely.
The dive shop down stairs Div'Ocean is "top tier" as are the owners, Peter and Bianca. They also provide gear storage for free and a place to rinse gear when you are done for the day and access to tanks 24/7. For those wanting to go to Klein for the day, their dive boat is right there too. Just roll out of bed onto the boat!
It's just a combination of many things that make staying at the Blue View such a gem. Would we stay there again? You bet ya! We have found a home with Marji's Blue View.
This is the second time we have stayed with Marji. This time in a different apartment. The first place was great. No complaints. The second one had a Hammock! Best nites sleep ever. The Apartment was clean and extremely comfortable. It was great having a full kitchen with utensils. We will definitely stay with Marji every time we come to Bonaire.
Thanks Marji!
We had a wonderful stay. Great snorkeling within ten minutes walking. There were turtles rising in the canal that we watched from the balcony. The pool was clean and the landscaping lovely. Or third floor apartment was really roomy, breezy, and the WiFi worked great.
Marji was so friendly and helpful--Thank You!
The location of the condo is ideal: away from the busy intersections of downtown & the cruise ship, but easy enough to get to them when you want. I HIGHLY recommend a car/scooter. There is no way to get to the beaches/diving without one.
My only disappointment was the lack of light in the stairwell as you approach the condo. I went out for dinners several nights and came back after sunset. It was difficult to see. Otherwise, very safe and quiet neighbors. I traveled alone and felt just fine. I would suggest the unit for singles or a couple. I would definitely return to Bonaire and rent from Marji again!
We just got back from a week stay in Bonaire. If you love the water you will love Bonaire! The apartment we rented from Marji was as advertised. It was very clean, bright, great location and close to everything. Marji was very helpful in getting us situated as this was our first visit to Bonaire.
We found it very easy to get around in Bonaire and felt very safe wherever we went. If you are thinking about a nice getaway and want to avoid the big resorts I would recommend Bonaire and one of the nice clean apartments that Marji has to offer.
This apartment is everything it promises. Lots of space, fully equipped and totally screened [so no mosquitos!]. The owner Marji was always willing to help out in case I had any questions.
Only a short walk into Kralendijk city center and a variety of restaurants.
During your stay you should most certainly check out the windsurfing at Lac Bay /Jibe City.
This is one of the most central locations you will find on Bonaire. We are walking distance to town and only 3 minutes to the nearest beach. With our onsite dive shop our scuba diving guests do not need to leave our parking lot to get their tanks - and the nearest dive site is practically next door. Windsurfers and Kite surfers will also find that we are located an easy drive from their respective beaches. Lac Bay and Kite Beach are both about 10 minutes away by car and and since we are south of the main town, Kralendijk you there are no worries about getting there quickly when the wind picks up!

Admiration for Abdul-Jabbar's career tempered by perceptions of off-court demeanor
By Arash Markazi
In Los Angeles' vast array of sports crown jewels, he is perhaps the brightest, compiling a record of performance unparalleled among the city's greatest athletes. But the diamond is imperfect, troubled by an image problem that sometimes threatens to undercut his résumé.There is no question Kareem Abdul-Jabbar should be a first-ballot inductee into the ESPN Los Angeles Hall of Fame. He won three NCAA men's basketball championships at UCLA and was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player each year. He went 88-2 in his three years in Westwood (freshman weren't allowed to play varsity in those days). He was so dominant as a Bruin that the dunk shot was banned for a decade in college because of him.

What is'poor' soil?
I'm a rose grower who has battled with growing them for some 16 years. Soil analyses has shown my soil as being adequate in the major elements however lately I've begun to probe the depth of the soil and found it ranges from zero to over 3' the depth of my probe. In my rose beds it averages about 2'. I should have long ago figured that out as shale outcrops on the edge of one of my rose beds. Underlying shale.
Anyway I guess that qualifies as poor. I find that it is amazing how roses vary in their ability to deal with that. Some just shrug it off while others wither and die. No figuring that out just that way it is. So I carefully note commments in rose books that mention, "does well in poor soil". And now plant mostly those and ones from experience have proven themselves. Makes sense doesn't it. I'm a slow learner!
Yet the mention of the term assumes that everyone knows what poor soil is! Beyond soil depth it must also mean in particular structure, nutrients and drainage. Should I also conclude the best way to manage it is to increase the fertilizer and organic matter compared to a deeper soil as there is less to work with for the plant?
it must also mean in particular structure, nutrients and drainage.
You're absolutely right about that
High salts can mean "poor soil".
An imbalance of cations can mean "poor soil"
Severely compacted soil can mean "poor soil"
Low nutrients and/or low nutrient holding capacity can mean "poor soil"
Inadequate surface and/or sub soil drainage can mean "poor soil"
If something grows well in low fertility soils but is very sensitive to salinity, does it tolerate poor soils? Yes and no.
If something tolerates high salts but is a heavy feeder and requires relatively high soil fertility, does it tolerate poor soils? Yes and no.
If the author of the literature just parrots the phrase "poor soil" because that's what they read somewhere and they don't know what they mean in their own writing (very common), or they know what they mean but for whatever reason choose not to let you in on it (far less common), you need to find different literature.
Here's something to think about when you read that stuff: Lots of the people who write those books are writers who take an interest in horticulture rather than horticulturalists who take an interest in writing. Consider the source and choose your reading material carefully if you want good information.
Should I also conclude the best way to manage it is to increase the fertilizer and organic matter compared to a deeper soil as there is less to work with for the plant?
You may need to increase organic matter and fertility and you may not. It depends on how they are now, but not when compared to a deeper soil profile.
Keep in mind, the vast majority of the active root zone of plants is from the surface down to 12 or 18 inches. Yes, bigger plants will root further down but those structures are largely for storage and support. You have plenty of active root zone and you don't want to over-load it.
The source of my information on poor soil roses is one of the best books on roses, The ARS Encylodedia of Roses written of course by two rose experts with wide experience with roses but not horticulturists. I don't even know any such. However I use such comments mainly to reinforce my experience.
Now as to the soil. I know nothing about many of the points you made such as salinity. I don't think the soil is compacted and it drains well based on simple tests of filling a hole with water and checking how long it takes to drain. It surely could be improved with more organic matter and I will pay more attention to fertilizing it more often.
One thing that has always puzzled me is how is it that even though an analysis shows high P & K yet the rose responds to more? So why is that? The P&K not necessarily available? Or is washed away? Or lacking in organics that it needs to make it available?
Thanks for your help!
Poor soil contains low nutrients. It is low fertility soil. If we grow plants in poor soil, then the yield will be very low as it lacks nutrients. It contains high salts. It is not rich organic matter.

"Poor" soil is that with low levels of organic matter that has unbalanced nutrient levels and a pH out of the 6.2 to 6.8 optimal range for most plants. Of course if you are growing Rhododendrons and Azaleas that prefer a more acicid soil then a poor soil for them would have a pH in that range.
How much organic matter is in your soil?
What does your soil feel like?
How well does your soil hold together, and also fall apart?
What does your soil smell like?
What is the life in your soil like? How many earthwotrms do you find?
The roses which are doing well in the poor soil may not do well if you significantly change their soil. I have a shrub rose which absolutely thrives in sandy alkaline soil. Other roses need significant soil amendment.
The type of fertilizer you use needs to be considered. If you are intent on soil buidling, you want to use organic fertilizers. Miracle Gro, for instance, does nothing for fertilizing soil, it only fertilizes plants. This is true of all chemical fertilizers. Here is a soil building example. If you add bone meal to your soil, you are fertilizing the soil (soil building)--adding phosphorus and other minerals, which in turn will feed the roses. A little bonemeal goes a long way.
Roses generally don't like alkaline soil. Most roses prefer a neutral Ph value--not too acid, not too alkaline. I had to learn the hard way since I moved to New Mexico, which has alkaline soil. I lost quite a few new rose bushes because I didn't fully understand about changing the Ph.
My most recent soil analysis showed 4.6% organic matter. High P and K, pH of 6.2. The soil smells good, is reasonably friable, toward clay and surely could use more organic matter. No earth worms.
One thing I've noticed lately is when I'm planting or cultivating it doesn't feel wet after a heavy rain. Apparently there are lots of cracks in the shale that let water through. And maybe I should watch watering more as the thin soil might dry out faster than one would think.
I have clay amended with construction rubble and trash. How's that for poor soil! I've been improving it with organic matter for 7 years now (as well as removing rocks, chunks of concrete and broken bricks, broken glass, rusty nails, etc.) and it's just now reaching the point where I would call it good soil. And yes, I got a tetanus booster!

Arcade Fire's Will Butler Shares Song Inspired by ISIS
It's the fifth song based on the news the multi-instrumentalist and new solo artist wrote this week for 'The Guardian.'
With six permanent members and sometimes more for live performances, Canadian outfit Arcade Fire quickly garnered attention for using as many types of instruments as there were people onstage. Combined with poetic lyrics and uber-creative stage antics, music videos and marketing campaigns, the band's catalog has been classified as art-rock since its 2004 debut 'Funeral.' Indie-rock fans were quick to catch on, readily latching on to the album, which managed to make ruminating on mortality feel new again as a musical concept. The album earned the band some serious indie cred, a Grammy nomination and a later-in-life hit in 'Wake Up.' Fronted by husband-and-wife duo Win Butler and Regine Chassagne, the Montreal-based act maintained its indie-darling status with its 2007 sophomore effort, 'Neon Bible.' However, it wasn't until they caught the world by surprise by winning the Grammy for Album of the Year for 2010's 'The Suburbs' that Arcade Fire became household names. Their fame paved the way for their fourth full-length, 'Reflektor,' allowing for a massive marketing campaign leading up to the album's release and larger-than-life performance art-esque live shows that they've now become known for.
It's the fifth song based on the news the multi-instrumentalist and new solo artist wrote this week for 'The Guardian.'
Will Butler said he was going to write about the Brit Awards but changed his mind when scientists discovered a massive black hole.
In addition to an excellent lineup of live music, SXSW also plays host to a ton of fascinating keynotes, panels, exhibits and conversations.
With his debut LP, Policy, hitting stores on March 16, Will Butler is embarking on another ambitious undertaking: writing a song a day based on the news.
Arcade Fire's Win Butler and his team won the 2015 NBA All-Star Celebrity game!
This Sunday (Feb. 15), Saturday Night Live will celebrate its 40th anniversary with an epic, three-hour special.
In celebration of Valentine's Day and his own brand of coffee, Win Butler will be acting as a barista on lovely holiday.
Arcade Fire's lead man Win Butler has been playing basketball for some time now.
Arcade Fire multi-instrumentalist Will Butler is going to have a lot on his plate come next year, but he still found time to share an original holiday song.
This past summer, during one of their three sold-out shows in New York City, Arcade Fire called upon Marky Ramone to join them for a pair of Ramones classics.

Daniel Radcliffe - Daniel Radcliffe used alcohol to deal with fame
Daniel Radcliffe turned to alcohol when he was filming the 'Harry Potter' franchise because he was struggling to deal with his new celebrity status.
Daniel Radcliffe drunk alcohol to help him deal with fame.
The 24-year-old actor turned to booze when he was filming the 'Harry Potter' franchise because he was struggling to cope with his new celebrity status and adoring fans.
In a new interview that will air on Sky Arts later this year, Daniel, who would turn up to filming still drunk from the night before, said: ''I would have benefited from not drinking as it was not making me as happy as I wanted it to.''
He added: ''It is not a real pressure but it is a pressure of living with the thought, 'Oh, what if all these people are saying I am not going to have a career? What if they are all going to be right and will be laughing and I will be consigned to a bunch of 'Where are they now?' lists?''
The hunky star, who has been teetotal since 2010, went on to receive critical acclaim for his theatre work and believes the fantasy film series, in which he played the title character, has opened up lots of career ventures for him.
He explained: ''People don't shout Harry Potter at me now, they tend to know my name, which is lovely ...
''... [but] I always will credit the opportunities I get to 'Harry Potter'. I would not be a happy person if I was bitter about those ten years of my life.''

How do you fulfill your volunteer hours?
I don't like doing plant sales (the major venue for MGs here in orange county) so i volunteered to help a local elementary school start a school garden.
I'm focusing on butterfly and hummingbird plants. Also quick growing vegies to satisfy the kids' need for immediate gratification!
As a bonus, the first grade teacher has asked me to give an occasional botany lesson to her class.
The are various ways the MGs here fulfill their hours, including:
1) Work at a Plant Problem Clinic. Each week, a table is setup in a central location in a shopping center mall, and MGs are available (10 AM to 2 PM, 1 day wach week, during the growing season)to answer questions, take soil samples for laboratory analysis, etc. Most of the questions relate to ornamentals and turfgrasses, and few to fruits and vegetables. Sometimes, the "commercial guys" (you know who they are) stop by with their questions and problems, as well.
2) Conduct seminars, lectures and workshops. A recent event I participated in was a lecture on "Growing, Harvesting and Cooking with Herbs."
3) Our Grand Strand MG Assn. has several "continuing" projects. We work with 2 local middle schools (and 1 library) to teach kids that age how to create, plant, and maintain gardens. Look at the "Children's Garden" and "Community Gardens" forums on this site for more information on this subject. The kids do the design and labor, we counsel and supervise. Another of our continuing projects is a cooperative project with NOAA, dealing with "phytoplankton research". Contact NOAA in a major metro area to see if this is something you can do there.
4) Work as a volunteer at an Extension Service office, or at a local public garden. Many of the MGs (and non-MGs, as well)here are involved in this activity.
Good Luck and Good Gardening!
I worked as a volunteer for our county fair. One day I worked with judges in the 4-H horticulture section and another day in the open class vegetables. I also helped with a flower and vegetable clinic for 4-H youth a couple weeks prior to the fair to help them know how to choose plants for exhibiting.
Our Penn State Master Gardeners of Greene County have been busy for several years providing education and advice to our community. We rarely do any physical work such as weeding or planting but do present seminars on various subjects, set up and man booths at local festivals and fairs, present a Tiny Tim tomato project at local libraries, answer questions referred to us by the local extension office and are available individually to present programs to local groups such as Mothers of Pre-Schoolers (MOPS). We have presented a lot of classes on composting and have given away a couple hundred composting bins provided for us by the DEP and Penn State. We have worked as a group with an eye to planning enough activities for the new MGs to complete their required hours while the rest of us find that our 20 hours happen without much effort. Our secret has been that we function as a loosely organized group rather than as individuals.
Since I work full time, I fulfill most of my hours working at plant health clinics. Right now, I have to miss all the interesting parts of the plant sale (propagating the plants, etc.), but I do take off work the day before the sale and help set up. I also work at the sale on Saturday. I would love to be able to do more, but until I retire (12 more LONG years, sigh), this will have to do. The continuing education hours aren't as hard to get - some of them are in the evenings. Occasionally, I will take off work for a few hours if there's a particularly interesting class on a week day.
Hmm, let's see. I've written articles for the county's master gardener newsletter, staffed information booths at local events, tended and hosted workdays for a native plant demonstration garden, and created and maintained a garden especially for cats at a local shelter. I've also given presentations, although that was before I was in the MG program. Oh, and I maintain a website for a community gardening organization, as well as my own small site with local gardening events. And this is only my first year, whew! ;-)
One of my classmates had a mild heart attack and has been unable to do her part time job for Rural Community Action Ministry, which is a group of churches that buys seeds and helps low-income people grow their own food. So she has been having some of us visit her people for her. Its' not fair really; they all know more about veggies that I do. We also worked on a TV show for local access cable, and some resident gardens at nursing homes, as well as preparing teaching materials for anyone whop wants to fulfill hours by teaching night school.
The thing that takes the most time is being the MG chair for the newspaper. I work with one of the Ag agents and everything go's thru her for accuracy of facts. We turn in 3 to 5 articles a week, the articles are reviewed, edited and appropriate pictures found when none come with the story. There are 5 of us who write regularly, including myself. In all, probably 50 hours a month there. I also like to help with seminars. It's great because I often get edu credits for attending as well as volunteer credits.
Of course, the phone work is ever present and all are required to help with that. I don't mind because as I often have to research the subject for the caller, I learn more. It also gives me ideas for MG articles.
All MG's are required to work the Spring Festival and Fall Gathering, although not all do. Poppy 8-)
The reason most of us(some will not admit it)take the master garden program is to further our own knowledge of gardening. Our payment is the hours we devote to the public though all the outreach to various sectors of the public. My original county master gardener program has a policy of awarding a life membership to members acumulating 1000 hours. This relieves that member of having to make their minimum hours each year to stay in the program. As members get older and perhaps can no longer drive at night, they can still do those things they do best, and contribute their experience to the overall program. Al
I fulfill my hours by helping with the Q & A booth at the local Grange Fair and the Philadelphia Flower Show Q & A booth, helping with seminars,weeding the "Gardeners Select Garden", working at our annual plant sale, teaching hypertufa and leaf casting classes to area garden clubs and nature centers, tour guide for garden and pond tours. There are many other volunteer opportunities available no matter what your experience or interests. Billie
I give my time at the Veteran's Hospital at the Greenhouse and grounds. We also have an Arboretum with different gardens to maintain including a new childrens garden. The Arboretum also has a Greenhouse that you can volunteer at. The MG volunteers take care of many gardens around the city. Many more choices to fulfill your hours.
Just a little correction - I just completed my 1000 hrs and thought I would not need to keep track anymore but to stay active you still need 12 hrs continuing education and 24 volunteer. I always go over the education hours without a problem even tho I find some of the topics dull.
Going to the MG meetings. Work days at our local compost facility, Vietnam Memorial, a church, a few municipal parks. Sell plants at the MG booth at the county fair.
My husband and I work at a local Home and Garden show every year, and we get credit for that. We also drive 40 minutes each way to go to our meetings and work days, and we get credit for the travel time.
MesquiteEnt, Now there's something that no ones mentioned, credit for travel time, meetings, prep work. We can do that here in my corner of Pennsylvania. I can't figure out how some people think that 20 hours (minimum) is a lot of time when you can count that travel and prep time. Billie
I enjoy more of the "hands on" work rather than public speaking so I am the curator of the perennial border and herb garden in our learning gardens are our county arboretum. I have done a few programs...Landscaping for Birds, Composting and How to Make a Rainbarrel, but it's not my favorite thing to do.
This is my first year. We didn't have the MG Program in my county, so I went to the class in Muskegon county. I needed 40 hours total to get certified. Just finished up. Worked mostly on the Hotline and the Monet Garden.
Midwest Michigan
Here is a link that might be useful: Muskegon MG Monet Garden
Our area is in the Chesapeake Bay watershed so a lot of our work is dealing with preventing pollution of the bay & it's tributaries. We have a program called "Grass Roots" that the public seems to really like. For a nominal fee ($15.00 this year) a MG will come to your home and take a soil sample of your lawn areas and measure the area in grass to be sure of the square feet involved. We evaluate the lawn for them for overall conditions and weeds and they get back specific recommendations for fertilizer and lime and other actions to improve their lawn without adding to the pollution problem.
We also have a very busy Help Line and conduct clinics at local garden centers many times a year. Our state and local fairs usually have displays set up by the MGs and there are several other projects underway at different times of the year. We stay pretty busy and nobody has any trouble getting the hours they need plus as many more as they want to give.
As with many other requirement the 1000 hour priveliges vary with the county. My qualifations were from the Monterey Bay Master Gardeners not the Napa county MGs. Although I live in Napa county the Sonoma county MGs are only half the distance and at my age that is important. I make the trip back to the coast once or twice a year to teach a day for the new class of MGs. In Sonoma county I do four or five workshops a year but I am not interested in hours accumulation. Al

I greatly respect the mood this song plays into. My first assumption was that you were meant for this. I was corrected. This was meant for you.
Whenever I ponder the future, if I envision large cities covering the earth and lights filling glamorous night skies, it makes me feel humanity will have defeated itself, by covering the planet in metal and circuits. Creativity may no longer be needed, no lessons would be learned, and the humans turned into bats. Nocturnal, and unable to see the light of day, by their own accord. Please keep this in mind, should you help to create us. Do not defeat us, as you yourself would be defeated in the process.
Thank you for listening. Bon voyage.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I love the creepy feel it has at the start, and even after it hits the relaxing tune it keeps the techy feel, good work :D

Home must get its house in order
Top Stories
This lapse was not that serious after all, they were just investigation and bomb detection teams. But it again flagged off the temptation within the Home Ministry to lose sight of the basic security protocol of not revealing movement details until they have happened. An hour later, Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde was on camera talking about some "information" that had been shared earlier. It was a teaser that led nowhere because there was only a countrywide general alert sounded after Afzal Guru's hanging a fact that forced Shinde to backtrack in Hyderabad Friday. Even when Shinde had made the Hindu terror remark, Singh had brought out a list of cases to shore up his minister, least realising he was accentuating the political damage.
While serious questions of competence can be raised here, the more immediate security problem is that of communication. A mere appearance before cameras with no proper preparation is as damaging as not speaking at all. Communication is serious business, particularly after a terror attack, and must be handled professionally. The basic requirement is to at least have a communication set-up, which organises information and sends out the right message.
There also has to be an identified face, a spokesperson with access and a full-fledged office. The MEA has an External Publicity division and to head it is a prize job which usually goes to an upwardly mobile IFS officer. The Home Ministry has no senior officer applying his/her mind to communication, forget about understanding its value and harnessing the opportunity.
What else can explain the repeated urge to get on camera without assessing information or its impact as evident after the Afzal hanging? Sadly, it also shows that one of the most important lessons from 26/11 has not been assimilated.

The Seattle Times reports that a man died after "cracking" his own neck in 1996, establishing that it is possible for an individuals to break their own necks. The paper lists the man's official cause of death as "cerebellar infarction."Know More
According to Huffington Post, the most common injury from neck cracking is stroke caused by damage to the arteries in the neck. It points out, however, that such injuries are very rare. It also advises that there is little scientific evidence that shows that the action has any health benefit.
C. Claiborne Ray, a New York Times columnist, recommends a stretching routine in lieu of "cracking" the neck to avoid the risk of injury.Learn more in Bones
Humans and giraffes actually possess the exact same number of all parts of their bodies, including the seven bones of the neck. This is because both species are members of the Mammalia class of organisms, which share an overall bone structure.Full Answer >

Bernie is MADOFF FAIL.
(Apparently that really is how it's pronounced.)
gab3334 and stoked4surf added this photo to their favorites.
There was a bit of a clue in the guy's name ;-)
Rule one of theft: Always know from whome the money really belongs when you make off with it.
(Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer)
Palm Beach got run over by Bernie Madoff's Ponzi reindeer
Just two weeks before Christmas Eve
You can say there's no such thing as a Wall Street scamster
But as for we in America, we believe
He'd been chalking up bogus Alpha
So the SEC said he had to go
And as he waltzed out of his lair on Third Avenue
Defiant as he was, he said, "Positive returns, hell no!"
When they woke up yesterday morning
It was clear the Palm Beach clique had been attacked
May as well stick a note to their own foreheads
Saying, "Oh Lord, please give us our money back!!"
(repeat chorus)
Now we're all so proud of our regulators
They've been taking this so well
See them crammed in Madoff's office
Knowing that SEC Chairman Cox will soon be sent to pink slip h-e-l-l
It won't be a Merry Christmas thanks to Madoff
Nor a Happy Hannukah as well
And we just can't help but wonder
Dosn't all of Wall Street have that pungent Ponzi smell?
(repeat chorus)
Now that Madoff's books are on the table
See all the other asset managers dance a jig (Ah!)
And the bogus billion dollar earnings
That not surprisingly had been rigged!
Be forewarned all you rich country club investors
Better watch out for yourselves!
You should not be dreaming of serial Alpha
With hedge fund goofs who play golf better than yourselves!
(repeat chorus)
piece of shit scumbag!!!!
tru dat
he failed BIG TIME
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called PLEASE PARDON BERNIE MADOFF ASAP, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Around the World in 80 Days
Posted October 1, 2010
Star-studded Trip Worthy of a 2-Disc Special Edition
'Around The World in 80 Days' is producer, Mike Todd's lasting tribute to divine decadence circa 1950's super kitsch. Keeping in mind that the decade produced one lavish, eye popping spectacle after the next in an attempt to win audience away from television, 'Around the World in 80 Days' is a star-studded, over produced and overblown retelling of the classic story by visionary author, Jules Verne. Having stated the obvious, this film is also quite a lot of fun. The story - in brief - concerns a bet made by Phileus Fogg (David Niven) to members of his men's club, that he can circle the world in 80 days and be back in England in time to collect their handsome wager. On this occasion, Fogg is ably aided by his man servant, Passepartout (Cantinflas) to whom Fogg entrusts most of the seemingly benign duties on their journey. Everyone from famed Flamanco dancer, Jose Greco, to sultry Marlene Dietrich make cameo appearances, which is part of the fun of this gigantic travel log with an attitude. Shirley McClaine plays a key role as an Arabian princess, whom Fogg befriends and brings back with him to England. Over all, good humor, great fun - if a bit stuffy at times - and carried off with overwhelmingly 'splendiferous' showmanship. The transfer is quite marvelous. 'Around the World In 80 Days' was filmed in Mike Todd's patented Todd-AO widescreen format. Superior to Cinemascope in just about every way, novices to the process may find the fish eye warping of vertical and horizontal lines a bit problematic to watch but this is as Todd envisioned the film to be seen. Warner Brothers gives us a near pristine print. After some unstable color during the film's overly lengthy introduction (delivered by no less of an M.C. narrator than Edward R. Murrow), and a rather faded montage of a rocket ship blasting into space, the rest of the film exhibits a stunningly pristine, vibrant and solid color scheme that is in keeping with the high resolution of the Todd-AO film process. Colors are rich, well defined and nicely balanced. Shadow, black and contrast levels are magnificently rendered. Several outdoor scenes exhibit a slightly soft characteristic, but this too is in keeping with the original photography. Edge enhancement is rarely present. Pixelization and shimmering of fine details is never an issue. The audio is remixed to 5.1 and offers a marvelous spread - particularly in the music. Dialogue is directionalized in several scenes to good advantage. Truly, this is one heck of a good visual presentation from Warner and it is to be commended on every level. The film is divided into two parts across two discs, but, as the original road show engagement had an intermission, this break is forgivable. Both discs contain a very thorough and engaging audio commentary. As well, on disc one we get to see George Melies' A Trip To the Moon (also based on a Jules Verne novel) in its full and uncropped version. The film elements have dated badly but over all, the image quality on this short film is to be expected. On disc two we get several extra features including an hour long documentary on Mike Todd that was produced in 1968 and narrated by Orson Welles. The color balancing on this documentary is POOR, with orange flesh tones and a considerable amount of grain, dirt and scratches throughout. We also get some edited clips from Playhouse 90 and the Academy Award ceremonies that are in poor condition but interesting to view from a historical perspective nevertheless. 'Around The World in 80 Days' is the sort of grandiose production that became a main staple of the 1950s. It's loaded with kitsch, glamour, exotic locations and appearances by nearly every major star of the day. Although one could argue there were far more deserving candidates for the BEST PICTURE OSCAR, this film continues to live up to all the hype one has come to hear over the years, regarding its lengthy and lavish production. Warner's 2 disc special edition should be on everybody'

Groundbreaking, great movie
As a teenager I saw "Around the World in 80 Days" soon after its premier. What a treat; a large, gorgeous theater, Todd-AO was brand new and exciting, etc, etc. Also, so many familiar performers, even in "cameo" roles. Over fifty years later, the film is still a treat. The two disc set includes a wonderful analysis by Robert Osborne, and many other features.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Younger audiences may not appreciate the significance of the participation of many of the cast. Edward R. Morrow, famous for his WWII broadcasts, and later a pioneer TV newscaster, introduces the film. Cantinflas in his first American film, Frank Sinatra in a non-speaking role, Robert Newton in his last role, early Shirley McLaine, great British character actors, Fernandel, Charles Boyer,Jose Greco-- the list is endless, and impressive. David Niven IS Philias Fogg, and has rarely been better. This was Victor Young's last film score, and a great one. The theme should be familiar to most viewers. In all--a rare, glorious entertainment!!

Widescreen 'Around the World' at last!
Mike Todd's 'Around the World in 80 Days' was inexticably bound to the marvellous Todd AO widescreen process in which it was filmed. It was never meant for Pan and Scan viewing or the miniaturization of the TV screen. Home theater buffs should jump for joy that this sumptuous visual feast can at last be seen in its original format. Many shots were cut to a length that gave the eye time to wander over the scenic glories and cast-of-thousands sequences that adorn the light-hearted romp that is its story. In a pan-and-scan version, most of this dazzling splendor is utterly lost. Through all the years of Beta, VHS and Laserdisc movie releases, it was an unfathomable omission on the part of the industry that this 'Best Picture' Oscar winner never came out in a widescreen edition. Those with good home theater gear will rejoice that the film is finally available again in the only format suitable for its proper appreciation.Was this review helpful?

This past weekend, the British press revealed that six months ago Blair privately advised Obama on how he could win his re-election, but this is just as dangerous as it is typical. Blair, the orchestrator of the "sexed up" intelligence that got us into the Iraq War, has his stamp on every evil Obama policy, and as long as Obama remains in office he will remain a destructive British tool.

Comfortable bed, simple room, great view, very friendly staff, very quiet night, and no bells and whistles. Perfect!
Excellent and friendly staff. Very accommodating. I have zero conplaints. Will be staying there our next trip as well!
Overall good. Nothing great, nothing bad.
We were somewhat concerned that the security on the doors did not work. There were card readers at the entrances, but they did not work.
Close to a little shopping plaza. Great staff. Breakfast was great and the coffee/cookie station out all the time was very nice!
Doors to rooms were very heavy, which made it hard to carry stuff in and out of the room.
Clean room
It was very convenient and accessible. The room was clean and the staff very helpful and friendly.
Bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure.
While we were there (over Christmas) they had contaminated water! They had to provide us with bottled water, jugs of juice at breakfast. The sheets were changed daily but the sinks were not cleaned. And the last night, the hall ceiling started leaking!
Kind and careing staff
Caf should open at 5 not 6 alot people leave before 5
Perfect location for the activity we were doing in Port Jervis
Stained blankets on bed
The room was a good average but my favorite was the shower.
The front desk attendent at breakfast on Friday was kind of rude but that didn't ruin my stay.
Not up to typical Days Inns standards, from my experience
Roadside motel, noisy

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Student 'voters' share opinions about parties, provincial issues
Sure, ignore these kids because they're kids and they don't have a vote on Oct. 4.
But do so at your peril -- they'll be voters soon, they have long memories and they're not hearing much about anything that matters to them.
Nor do they find anyone seeking office is listening to them.
Students at hundreds of schools throughout Manitoba are taking part in Student Vote, the non-profit organization that provides classroom materials about the electoral process and then conducts realistic student voting.
At Windsor Park Collegiate, social studies and law teacher Sandi Wagner is working with bright students, some of whom participated in the Student Vote federal election last May.
They're complaining the election is pretty much all about health care -- to grab the attention of older voters -- and crime. They're hoping voters realize it's the city that decides how to deploy police, not the province, and that it's the federal government that legislates the Criminal Code, not the province.
"People are so concerned about apathy -- would you not want to engage young voters?" said Wagner. "It really bothers me that adults don't listen to teens. If we stopped to listen to them, we could learn something."
Grade 12 student Taylor DeCaigny said when candidates come to the door, "They ask if you're 18," and leave if you're not eligible to vote. "Hopefully, they'll take us seriously by the time we're 18."
She's not impressed by attack ads: "Why should we vote for someone who just puts people down?"
Fellow Grade 12 student Sarah Cable agreed: "Don't talk about why I shouldn't vote for them, tell me why I should vote for you.
"They don't really target us," she said. "If they had a Facebook page, that'd be ideal."
Windsor Park Grade 9 student Krissy Gilmore says attack ads are nothing but bullying. She's not hearing about capping class size in high school: "I've been in a class of 32 since Grade 1."
She's hearing a lot from the parties about health care, but, "They're only saying health care so older people will pay attention."
Local candidates do matter, said Gilmore. The school is in Radisson riding. "Does everyone know who (NDP incumbent) Bidhu Jha is, because he has such a cool name?" she enthused.
Windsor Park Grade 12 student Shirine Adel wants to hear a lot more than she's hearing about post-secondary education. "They don't listen to what we say. We're going to university next year, we actually care about prices and such."
But ask the Student Vote enthusiasts about Bipole III, and you get a roomful of shrugs and puzzled looks. As the pundit jargon goes, that issue doesn't resonate with youth.
Teacher Devin King is concentrating on analyzing campaigns with his grades 4 and 5 at Harrow School in Fort Garry-Riverview, looking for positive and negative ads and for media bias.
Kenan Faustino is all over a newspaper story, spotting the players immediately. "Greg Selinger and Hugh McFadyen -- I knew it," he chortled in triumph.
Ally Delisle hasn't heard a lot about what the Conservatives would do in office: "They're always attacking the NDP," she pointed out.
Gwyneth Gilana isn't impressed by Liberal candidate Kevin Freedman's ad, a take on the most interesting man in the world commercials. Way too blurry, hold the camera steady, she advised.
King takes a classroom vote twice a day. A few hours earlier, Tory candidate Ian Rabb had visited the class, and won the morning vote handily, 17-8 over the NDP. But in the afternoon, the final commercial is the NDP showing nifty panoramic footage of hydro projects, arenas, and other samples of growth, with a musical background.
The vote was 16 NDP, eight Conservatives, one Liberal in the class.
So, polls really are a snapshot of one moment in time.
"The NDP influenced people" in the afternoon vote, Antonia Colavito concluded.
"Sometimes we don't know we're being influenced," King said.
At H.S. Paul School in St. Vital, in the Seine River riding, teacher Ronald Miechkota's grades 3 and 4 class know more about the differences between provincial and municipal governments than some adults who have the vote.
They're learning names of parties and leaders, with issues still to come.
Peter Ulici knows blue is the Tory colour.
Classmate Emerson Korzeniowski sparks a debate about a lack of female candidates by expressing her enthusiasm for New Democrat incumbent Theresa Oswald: "I don't like the other guys, and she's a girl, she's pretty," said Emerson.
Said Noah Reeder: "I'm learning that voting is important."
Final word to Windsor Park Collegiate's Gilmore: "I'm super-excited, I love politics. Who cares about drinking, I get to vote" at 18, she laughed.
It's a first for us
STUDENT Vote will hold a Manitoba provincial election for the first time, after conducting votes among students in 11 federal and provincial elections since 2003.
The non-profit organization provides materials for teachers to do election lessons in the classroom, examine the democratic process, local candidates and the issues.
Come election day, the students vote and the results are toted from the schools within each riding. The Student Vote results from schools within Manitoba's 57 ridings will appear in the Free Press on Oct. 5.

Nice fully equipped apartment, comfortable, clean, ideal for a couple. It's in a good location in a quiet street, however next to U-Bahn station Maillingerstraße (2 stops from main train station) and also to supermarkets, bars and restaurants. Sandro is a friendly and helpfull host, I did not know him personally cause he was travelling, but he made sure everything worked perfectly. Good value for the money, I spent there 9 days with my girlfriend, hope to get back and truly recommend this place.
Triple A, 5 Sterne oder was es sonst noch für hochkarätige Bewertungstermini gibt.
Sandro ist ein erstklassiger Gastgeber. Zügige und einfache Abwicklung, blitzschnelle Antworten auf Fragen und problemlose Schlüsselübergabe etc. Die Wohnung entspricht zu 100% der Beschreibung, ist liebevoll eingerichtet und es gibt alles was das Herz begehrt. Die Lage ist ideal, zur U-Bahn sind es 3 Minuten und man ist nach 2 Stationen am Hauptbahnhof. Die Gegend um die Elvirastrasse bietet alles was man braucht - Einkaufsmöglichkeit, Bäckerei vor der Tür, sowie einige Restaurants und Cafés. Ein tolles Viertel in München. Zu Fuß ist man in 15 Minuten am Königsplatz oder ein paar Minuten Gehet mehr am Nymphenburger Schloss. Was will man mehr. :) Ich komme jederzeit gerne wieder / Danke
We had a very nice stay at Sandro's place. He was out of town the entire time we were there so we could not meet him in person but he was a very fast communicator and flexible with the key exchange. His place was ideally located for our needs in a nice area. Thanks for having us!
Sandro was very helpful and friendly.
The room was large, with a big window so had lots of room. I was out most of the time, but Sandro was very helpful and flexible about when i came back.
Sandro hat zwei Nächte bei uns in Chalet übernachtet und wir können nur positives sagen. Alles in Ordnung, sauber hinterlassen...wir freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen! ;-)
Dear Mr. Stark,
It was a pleasure to attend you in our hotel.....
Thank you for your preference...
Best Regards,
It was a pleasure to have Sandro and his friends as guest in my vacation home in Cartagena, they were very considerate, and took good care of the apartment. I would hope he returns as a guest in a future visit to Cartagena. I can highly recommend him to anyone who he request to rent from in the future.
