Sometimes a project screams for you to put your stamp on it.
When you win a client's trust, you can earn the freedom to express creativity in a landscape design. Such was the case at a property where Joe Pavlovicz had been working since he was a teenager. In the last 25 years, he has helped the homeowner completely revamp the property three times.
So when the client called and said he had found a bronze fountain and needed Pavlovicz to "figure out how we are going to put this somewhere," Pavlovicz knew he would have some artist's license to create a proper space for the outdoor artwork.
In this case, Pavlovicz removed some problem-area turf and tied the fountain into the rest of the gardens with walkways and hedges.
Pavlovicz loves a design challenge like this, where a client basically turns over the keys to his or her property and says: Do your thing. Part of earning those jobs requires building strong relationships with clients and proving yourself by performing on projects they request.
That's why the client jokingly refers to his own landscape as "JTS's place."
3032E and 3038E are the newest additions to the compact utility tractor line.
Oxalic acid will target varroa mites, which are a threat to honeybee colonies.
Zero-turn and stand-on mowers get all the attention, but walk-behinds can show your clients you are paying especially close attention to their properties.
Charging for design work has its benefits.

Are you satisfied with an ordinary website with only well-written web content? In order to gain a strong foothold in the present market, a mundane website will not be enough for you. You may be satisfied with the average traffic of your website. But have you ever thought that if you incorporate an awesome video in your website it can become more appealing. Your present loyal customers may visit your website now but have you thought that if you update your website with an appealing video, you may generate more prospective customer.
Role of videos in marketing
People tend to respond more to videos than any other textual message. Studies have revealed that videos have a long-lasting effect on the minds of the people and may help viewers to take decisive actions. Video is the best form to market your products and services in this fast-paced world as people hardly have enough time to read the content of the website. A video on the other hand communicates the information in the medium which is more appealing to people. Market analysis reveals that an appealing video aids in generating more sales. But does that mean if you upload an ordinary video or a slideshow, it can boost the traffic of your website? Well, uploading an ordinary video is almost same as a website without any video.
Create video yourself
A mundane video fails to create any impact on the mind of people. If you plan to upload a slideshow even that is less likely to work for you. Slideshows can influence your business partners but not your leads. You should create a video with out of the box ideas which can influence your customers to buy your products or subscribe to your services. You may wonder that outsourcing a promotional video might be expensive for you. Then, you can purchase cost-efficient Video Maker Software to custom make professional videos according to the needs of your business.
Video creation gets easy with Videomakerfx
You may think that you will require ages to master the professional video making software. Videomakerfx brings a solution to this problem. With Videomakerfx you can make epic videos in only a few minutes just like professionals.

Affordable price for your extraordinary website
You may think that Video Maker Software will be an expensive investment but Videomakerfx comes in incredibly affordable prices.

Analog delay by a company that remembers analog.
A lot of pedals are designed in a lab and tweaked on an oscilloscope. Moog pedals are built by musicians, for musicians. The designers are obsessed with great sound and practical usability. They are among the finest floor-based signal processors on the market. The Minifooger Analog Delay is a stellar example of this utter dedication to musicality.
The MF Delay is a 100% analog delay providing 35mS-700mS of rich, blooming analog repeats. At shorter settings, the MF Delay is fast and articulate. This is perfect for creating classic slap-back sounds with expressive swells, and even plate-verbs. At medium and long settings, the repeats become darker, naturally trailing into a beautiful warmth and character not found in any other delay pedal. Connect an expression pedal and dynamically control feedback swells, or switch to delay time to create chorus/flange and tape delay effects. The MF Delay was designed with over 300 carefully selected components including 4 Bucket Brigade Delay chips, a discrete JFET input stage, and a vintage compander circuit for superior tone and feel.
TIME- Adjustable from 35mS - 700mS. At shorter settings, delay repeats are brighter and more articulate - perfect for slap-back and plate-style reverb/delay. As you increase the Time, the delay trails become warmer causing sounds to move and decay naturally under each new note or chord.
FEEDBACK- Adjustable from a single repeat with no decay, to extended trails that dissipate into a reverb-like state. When pushed past 2 o'clock feedback trails swell into infinity. This is an excellent creative tool for making sonic beds and trails where notes decay into a wash of musical noise. Pushed to maximum, the MF Delay will self oscillate.
MIX-Allows you to determine the blend between dry and effected signals. At minimum, delay trails are nearly inaudible. This is useful for ghost delays and creating natural room-verb sounds. At maximum, your dry signal is removed completely, which allows the MF Delay to work perfectly in an amplifier effects loop.
DRIVE- A pre-delay circuit that provides greater than 22dB of gain to both input and delayed signal. At low ranges it is excellent for creating subtle boost and mild tonal coloration. At middle position the sound becomes more mid-forward and punchy. At itsmaximum position, you have an incredibly natural boost/overdrive in your delay pedal that is great by itself or paired with an MF Drive.
EXPRESSION PEDAL INPUT: When assigned to Time, this input allows you to create everything from chorus/flange effects and tape delay to monstrous pitch shifting. When assigned to Feedback, this input allows you to swell in and out of infinite feedback loops and subtle delay trails.
Order today and revel in the color of analog repeats.

Comments about Moog Minifooger Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal:
The little brother of the moogerfooger series, this pedal is by appearances a pretty standard analog delay with a couple of twists. No modulation; instead of that we get the "drive" control which adds grit and boosts output. We also get the expression pedal input. Expression pedal can be routed either to delay time (for the famous analog delay pitch effects when feedback and mix are set high) or to feedback, which is more routinely useful.
Build quality and overall sound quaslity are excellent, top notch. Sonically, this delay tends toward the bright compared to, say, the MXR Carbon Copy. The repeats on the minofooger are disinct and clear, ALMOST evoking the quality of digital delays, as opposed to the dark decay of the CC and other famous analog delays. I am inclined to think that this distinctness is intentional and product of high grade components.
One qualm: I wish wish wish they had found the way to make the Exp. pedal destination switch external not internal.

Comments about Moog Minifooger Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal:
Been searching through a lot of analog delays for a few years trying to find that one particular delay style and tone I've had in my head. I've tried a couple of inexpensive pedals. And I've built a couple of my own. But nothing really has hit that sweet spot, and I find myself going back to a digital delay time and time again. Even the Carbon Copy didnt do the trick for me. Well, that search is over. This is the Moog Minifooger Analog Delay. Full analog bucket brigade circuitry. The tones are glorious. Sweet and warm. Thick and delicious if you want it. Very transparent if you dial it down. There is a gain knob on this pedal that imparts that old school vintage tube vibe, and pushes your amp a little bit. I adds that little something extra that pushes this pedal over the top in the tone department. I was enamored by the demo videos. I am blown away by the pedal running in my practice rig. Awesomeness.
Best Uses
Comments about Moog Minifooger Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal:
Got this delay recently and really like it. Nice moog sounds, some fun options, and compact enclosure... Does not have a tap option for tempo, so not ideal for rhythmic delays (worship or U2 cover bands).
Best Uses
Comments about Moog Minifooger Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal:
The coolest things about this pedal are the overdrive, which is HOT, and the fact that the roll off from delay repeats tends to morph, rolling the high end off to mimick a real echo. Haven't experienced that before in a pedal.
The thing that I don't care for, is the "Mix" knob. I pretty much have it barely open to sit behind my dry sound. Anything louder than a 9 o'clock setting overwhelms the dry signal, at least to my ears.
I did buy the expression pedal along with this and that has opened up some additional opportunities with the pedal, should a person be coordinated enough and have the time to dedicate to practicing with it. Very cool things can happen though!
Best Uses
Comments about Moog Minifooger Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal:
This replaced a very good digital delay, I needed the leads to be pushed forward during performance/rehearsals. The drive knob allows you to add just enough (or a lot) of extra gain to the signal so the leads cut through the mix.
The mix knob allows you blend the delayed effect with the 'dry' signal.
It does alter the tone slightly but in a complimentary way.
The hardwire/true bypass means no signal or tone degredation when it's not on.
Very sturdy construction.
This is everything I wanted in a delay pedal.
Best Uses
Comments about Moog Minifooger Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal:
Best Analog effects comes from Moog especially the Delays. Best Analog delay that i've tried (except Moog 104m but i can't afford that). Best build quality and analog sound u'll find in the market and affordable too.
I wish i could use expression out as a tap tempo (like dd7) which could be useful on stage.

I've never understood the argument of "Well you're even worse so we need to let this one go...."
frankFromStuttgart,who is lecturing whom? Aren't you lecturing "the Anglosaxons"?And who exactly are "the Anglosaxons" who can't say they simply made a mistake? There have been plenty of "Anglosaxons", actually in the millions, who have criticized the Iraq war, in the media, on the streets...
Ahh, the Anglosaxons lecturing others.American War Of Secession: 300000 killed. Southern states still opressed by the Yanks.Civil War in Ireland: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Civil_WarUnprovoked War in Iraq: hundreds of thousands killed. Anglosaxons still can't say they simply made a mistake.
Well, Joe, "the problems with Tibet are the problems with China" - except that they are more pronounced not only economically but also politically. Tibet is still locked down in a Cultural revolution style political struggle of the CCP to subjugate the Tibetans who happen to have had their own distinct language, culture, history and religion for millenia and who are not prepared to go down without resistance.The Great Wall ended much before the Tibetan plateau, and the Tibetans have never considered themselves Chinese. Their civilization was not informed by Confucianism but by Buddhism.While CCP rule in mainland China is arguably "a choice of the Chinese themselves", to the Tibetans it is an alien regime that came about with an invasion.Apart from that, I share your view that people should not get fixated on Tibet and that the core issue really is China.
"Actually, Buural, I had a different answer, which was simply not caring..."
Thank you very much for your response. At least you were honest. If that is how you feel, there is nothing I or anyone else can say to convince you otherwise. All I can say is freedom is something you truly appreciate only after you lose it. I sincerely hope you or your children would not have to appreciate it in your lifetime. If you do not care, why do you keep reading?
"Why is Tibet so special?"
Aside from being forcefully 'liberated,' nothing unique I suppose. Imagine you were living in your own hut. Things were not perfect, but at least you had control over your own life and destiny. Then, uninvited 'friendly' neighbors barge in and take control of your hut. Oh, they say it is for your own 'good'. They might even buy a new TV for you 'selflessly' as a gift, never mind the fact that you will never have freedom to watch the programming of your choice. They might even turn your hut into a golden palace, never mind the fact that you have to get permission from the 'friendly' neighbors to move in and out of your own hut, you have to learn their completely foreign language so that you can beg to cook your own food, you have to ask permission to pray to your own god.
Yes, nothing special about Tibetans, or Uighurs, or any other people 'liberated' from their freedom.
Geopolitics aside, can you really defend oppression in any form?
In my opinion,without Chinese government,Tibet can not get out of slavery.In that period,Tibetans have no human rights and live a miserable life.Chinese government also builds the railway to Tibet for communication.What the Chinese government does is to establish a peaceful and hamonious world for Tibetans.Whereas,the Dalai Lama ,just want to achieve his own purpose without thinking about the Tibetans'future life.
You wrote:
"Have you heard that Scots, Irish or any of the others desperately swim across the Channel in order to see the pope?"
Actually, yes. Ever heard of the Jacobins? There was an entire movement, with several bloody wars, to return Catholic rule to the British Isles, with the Scottish and Irish as chief supporters.
In fairness to the Jacobins, I don't think they chopped English to death with machetes or burned them alive inside their shops. That may just be because there was less press coverage in those days.
But we could talk about many other nationalities in China, who speak many other languages and have many other cultures. Even the "Han" distinction is a heterogenuous group, with many sub-ethnicities who have as little in common with each other as with Tibetans. Should each of these have the right to break off and create their own tinpot, theocratic dictatorships if they want?
I take your point about the Baltic states, but then Russia treated it's satellites much worse under the USSR than China has treated Tibet. China has gone out of it's way to woo Tibetans. I think there's a point where, if a region is abused and exploited by the greater empire, it has a right to break off, as Ireland did when the Black and Tans committed outrageous abuses and squashed all Irish culture and languages in the 1910's and 1920's, but the support for an independent Tibet in Tibet is clearly NOT overwhelming, and the PRC government seems no more oppressive there than they are anywhere in China.
China is hardly alone in exhibiting bad behavior, although perfectly adept at it. Among others, Britain might be included for being less than candid, the United States for turning a blind eye for the sake of expediency.
I'll be more blunt: Tibet is an occupied country at war. The Chinese are the villains in this. The least any other sovereign country could do is acknowledge the truth of the matter and deplore it, if not actively seek to address such a wrong.
I wouldn't count on that, nor in the position of the Dalai Lama bearing much fruit. While there is something to be said for he non-violent approaches of those such as Gandhi, the Dalai Lama and Martin Luther King, in the end it will probably have to be the Tibetan people, the very ones having suffered this for the last 50 years, to finally say enough is enough. You guys (the Chinese) are going to leave, now, one way or the other.
Anyone else oppressed (whether 'legally' or not) might do as much.
JoeGrim, you're asking:"The UK still occupies Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Mann, Wales. America still occupies land held by Native Americans two hundred ish years ago.Why is Tibet so special?"Have you heard that Scots, Irish or any of the others desperately swim across the Channel in order to see the pope?And that they get shot in the back by border guards, or if they are more lucky, get apprehended, locked up in prison for three months, beaten and tortured?China is a Communist dictatorship and Britain is not.As I've said: we've had Communism, too, and you go and ask the Baltic people, the Poles, the Czechs and so on how much they dreaded it. And yes, they had their Russian overlords who ran the shop in the same way that the Chinese run it in Tibet. In that sense, Tibet is nothing special at all. We've seen it all before...
Once you remove the whole "Oh, the Dalai Lama's government in Tibet was so utopian and nice and idyllic" line as the bullshit it is, Jaiha, it becomes very hard to argue that the plight inside Tibet is any worse than the plight in the rest of China, except that poverty is worse than in most other parts of China. And it's very hard to argue that poverty would be better tackled in Tibet if it were independent.
The problems with Tibet are the problems with China- lack of free speech, lack of transparency, lack of a reliable and independent court system.
These problems need to be solved for all of China with a transition into a Liberal Democracy.
This year marks thirty years of economic opening for China, which have had remarkably beneficial effects for China and the rest of the World. It would be a good year to announce a plan to, over a similar thirty years, transition peacefully into a totally liberal democracy, one phase at a time, starting with independent courts and a free press, and then transforming the government itself.
I would like the international community to have this talk, about transforming all of China, because Tibetans to me do not matter more than other Chinese nationalities, or any other person. I want to see all Chinese be free. I want to see Indians be free, all Arabs and Africans and Latinos and all people.
I find the fixation on Tibet distressing, because the people so fixated don't seem to care about the rest of the World being free.
JoeGrim,OK, so we leave the Dalai Lama aside...Then we still have AFP, Reuters, Time, Newsweek, Washington Post, New York Times, BBC, Economist and so on whose reporters all happen to write on the same lines about the Tibetans' plight inside Tibet.Are you expecting anyone in the West to prefer information from censored Chinese media which are under the CCP propaganda department to *all* of the above? As if we had not had our share of Communism either...In Communist East Germany there was an area which was not able to receive West Germany's news programmes on TV.The East Germans themselves used to call it "The valley of the clueless"...
Someone who supports Tibetan independence, explain to me why other regions of China shouldn't have the same right to break up into their own nations; and then explain why this doesn't apply to other nations in the World. Explain why this doesn't make Abraham Lincoln a horrible dictator.
@ P Summers
Turdeniz had just researched to confirm that the Dalai Lamai has a force of 2100 supporters fighting the Chinese, from 1959-1980
a mere 2100 supporters out of several million Tibetans
you call that overwheming support????
even his own clan of the 900,000 strong "Gelug" Sect did not support him. He's what the British calls "the mouse that roared" ....."the general without supporters"
He now realised the truth, the Tibetan people are loyal citizens of the PRC and thats why he goes along with the Reality and proclaimed"Tibet is a part of China"
Actually, Buural, I had a different answer, which was simply not caring.
Here's the truth: I'm not the Master of my own wooden hut, no matter what country I'll go to. Some government is going to want taxes, and expect me to follow certain laws. This is true of my house, my extended family, my town, my region- every nation, every major nation, is built up of many ethnic enclaves hanging together to form one political unit. We fought a Civil War in America a hundred and fifty years ago over this very issue. The UK still occupies Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, Mann, Wales. America still occupies land held by Native Americans two hundred ish years ago.
Why is Tibet so special? Because Steven Seagal's bestest friend and personal guru came from there?
In my previous post, I asked defenders of China's rule over Tibet to honestly answer just one question: would you rather be a master of your own wooden hut or be a slave in someone else's golden palace? I have patiently waited for answers, and here is a short summary of responses:
1. Dalai Lama is 'evil', hence ordinary Tibetans should continue to be ruled by the ever-increasing number of the 'good' Han, whose only intention is to 'help' selflessly the backwardly Tibetan people.
I hope I am not the only one to see major logical inconsistencies with this response. This answer makes as much sense as arguing that since China had leaders incapable of defending their homeland from the Japanese invasion during WWII and were all nefariously spreading pro-independence 'splittist' propaganda, Chinese people should not have the right to self-rule and should be 'liberated' by the 'benevolent' Japanese. (My intention is not to offend either the Japanese or the Chinese. All I am doing here is showing how hollow and cynical such arguments are)
2. This is a hopeless cause. Geopolitics or realpolitics rule the world.
Even if this were a true statement, it does not answer my question. I perfectly understand that geopolitical realities of the world leave a very low probability of the Chinese state voluntarily relinquishing control over Tibet, which constitutes a vast portion of the lands it controls. I did not ask what would be in the best interests to the Chinese government as there are plenty of commenters defending those. All I did was to appeal directly to the defenders of oppression and ask what would their conscience, undiluted by propaganda, pride or self-interest, answer to my question.
3. U.S., Britain, etc. have all oppressed people in the past (or are still oppressing in the present), why should not the Chinese?
Again, this misses the point of my question. I am neither American, nor British, nor Tibetan. The answer to my question should not depend on who did what to whom in the past or in the future. My question is what would you have chosen for yourself and your children? I am very interested to know whether in your hearts you would really have chosen the 'golden' option.
4. Many people have chosen lives as 'second-rate' citizens in the West, which proves that the 'golden' option is actually preferable.
I have a hard time buying this argument for two main reasons. One, these people decided to emigrate on their own FREE WILL. They made the choice the Tibetan people have not been given (and are not likely to be given in the foreseeable future). Two, even if the statement were true, that begs the question why were these people willing to give up their homeland and citizenship to be a 'sub-class' in the West? My guess is that perhaps the West provides best opportunity to build one's own hut and the best protection from outside intrusion once it is built.
5. Because in the past, Tibetan leaders supposedly perpetrated such and such [fill in the blank] monstrous acts, Tibetan people deserve to be ruled.
Again, hard to comment. I am not aware of any nation in the world who did not have some bad leaders in the past. How this justifies oppression is beyond me.
Some commenters think that repeating the same fallacies over and over again would somehow appease their conscience. Isn't there anyone willing to give me an honest answer not based on the above fallacies?
You wrote:
I think that you should put events in their context. The 60s were probably the most dire years the Tibetans ever experienced in their whole history. It was reasonable for the Dalai Lama to seek help from the CIA, even if it was in contradiction with some of his most basic principles. Other leaders who have done the same. Desperate times sometimes requires desperate measures ...
Your "Desperate times sometimes requires desperate measures ...", a form of exceptionism, can give DL excuses from his collaboration with CIA while still a senior chinese official in 50's, war in 50-70's, to 80's when he lied in the nobel prize acceptance speech.
Will you also give the same cover to some tradictions of the Tibetan theocracy:
In the Dalai Lama's Tibet, torture and mutilation -- including eye gouging, the pulling out of tongues, hamstringing, and amputation of arms and legs -- were favored punishments inflicted upon thieves, runaway serfs, and other "criminals." Journeying through Tibet in the 1960s, Stuart and Roma Gelder interviewed a former serf, Tsereh Wang Tuei, who had stolen two sheep belonging to a monastery. For this he had both his eyes gouged out and his hand mutilated beyond use. He explains that he no longer is a Buddhist: "When a holy lama told them to blind me I thought there was no good in religion." Some Western visitors to Old Tibet remarked on the number of amputees to be seen. Since it was against Buddhist teachings to take human life, some offenders were severely lashed and then "left to God" in the freezing night to die. "The parallels between Tibet and medieval Europe are striking," concludes Tom Grunfeld in his book on Tibet.
-- http://www.swans.com/library/art9/mparen01.html
Do you also rationalize the recent anti-Han/Hui hated riots? After all the future can't be more grave for the exiles: China's hold in Tibet is growing strong, the world is getting to know DL better, and he is aging and is being abandoned.
I think the complaint is, in this case, less to do with the West being suspicious of China's government, which is fair and right, and more to do with the fact that so many of them swallow everything the Dalai Lama says hook, line, and sinker.
It's fine to criticize China. The wonder and puzzle of it is why questioning the PRC government leads people to listen to the words of a bitter and insane old monk who spouts Hallmark cliches and clamors for a return to the days of his theocratic dictatorship.
Showcat had this explanation:"As why there are so many Chinese troops in Tibet, the short answer is that Chinese troops can be stationed anywhere within the Chinese territory. As for the banning of western journalists, well, this is not 1900 anymore. The Chinese can ban any foreigner from entering any area in China any time. No explanation is needed."Wow! What can you say?"The China that can say no..."At least they shouldn't whinge then, if Western media find that something smells fishy...
Smiling Tiger Face wrote:"The Japanese in WW2, used "TERROR" and "BRUTALITY" as a pschological weapon to kill off the will of the Chinese to keep on fightingWhen their started the war, the boasted that they will conquer China "within 6 months"After sometime, they were shocked by the fierce resistance from the Chinese people---they never expected thisShocked by the great patriotism and the great love that the Chinese have for their Motherland, as shown by great acts of heroism and sacrifige of the common peopleThey then try to see if the Rape of Nanjing will kill off the will of the fighting spirit of Chinathe method didnt work---this aroused the Chinese even more determined to fight to the very last drop of blood........."If he has so much psychological insight, he might realize that the above applies to the Tibetans as well!
Young Economist,you wrote:"you talk about Tibetan language, did you also know, there is no Tibetan word for "independence" before the early 20th century, Even though Tibet has been a part of China since 1300s?"Actually, I have heard that before. I wouldn't say "I know", as I am not speaking Tibetan. Do you actually "know"?I guess the only thing this would proof would be that the Tibetans didn't feel occupied then. They do now - and they have a word for their struggle for independence: RANGZEN!

Should Capt. Robau have gone over to the Narada?
He just gave in to easily and was killed for his integrity. What would you have done differently to get the ship out of danger? Or was that the only thing he could have done? Nothing was gained with his death. Narada still continued fire on Kelvin and they still abandoned ship and Kelvin was still destroyed.
I would have set the ship to self distruct, set helm for collison course, ordered General order 13 and abandoned ship! (Basically what they did, WITHOUT the Captain dying)

Re: Should Capt. Robau have gone over to the Narada?
Robau knew he wasn't coming back - he may not be the demigod the internet makes him out to be, but the way he marched over there and asked Nero "What gives you the right to attack a Federation vessel?" while surrounded by crazed Romulans was first class.
The only way to save the Kelvin would be through some Voyager/Enterprise-style deus ex machina. Not every starship gets an infinite supply of luck.

Re: Should Capt. Robau have gone over to the Narada?
Perhaps the ship would have been saved, had she been commanded by a less calm and composed skipper, somebody who would have turned and fled even when the baddie told him not to?

EOF - The Power of Definitions
As a concept, freedom is usually defined two ways, one negative and one positive. Freedom from is the negative. Freedom to is the positive. Countless social and political causes grow around the need for freedom from—slavery, oppression, poverty, taxation—anything that limits our freedom to act, move, associate, choose.
The freedoms described by the Free Software Definition (www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) are all positive:
The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
These freedoms are also personal: "Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software"; and "a program is free software if users have all of these freedoms."
Freedom is a profoundly human value. We are, more than any other species, devoted to originality, and we savor values that express it: intelligence, talent, choice, craft. Other animals make things too. Birds build nests, ants build hills, beavers build dams, bees build hives. But it is the nature of each to build these things the same ways as others within the species. Every human is different. What we value most in people is what makes them different from other people and what they do that's different. Freedom maximizes the scope of those differences and of our originality.
Software is one among countless other original human creations, but with an essential difference: it has no physical substance. Even the ephemeral creations we call music and speech are waves compressed within air. Software is something else. It is code. At a deeper level, it is binary math: ones and zeros.
Humans make sense of things through their bodies. Good is "up" and "light", while bad is "down" and "dark", because we are upright-walking diurnal animals. If we had the bodies of raccoons, we might say the opposite. Our worlds are full of metaphorical understandings grounded in our physical structures. When we say, "He picked my face out of a crowd", we use the metaphor seeing is touching. When we say we "grasp a concept", we use the metaphor understanding is grasping. What we do with our bodies shapes what we know in our minds and how we talk about it.
Yet software isn't physical. We need help understanding it, or we'll mess up by understanding it with misleading metaphors (for example, that it's a packaged good, like cereal). This is why we need to start with deep insights into software's nature, and into connections between that nature and our own. The Free Software Definition provides those. So does the companion concept of copyleft (www.gnu.org/copyleft/copyleft.html), which protects the liberties inherent in free software. This is why Richard M. Stallman calls free software a "social movement", while positioning open source as a "development methodology" (www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html).
Today we live in a networked world not only filled with free software and open-source code, but also increasingly organized and defined by it. This has caused problems of perception that are similar to those that required the Free Software Definition 25 years ago.
The Internet, for example, has become a form of infrastructure, yet it lacks the physical qualities that have defined familiar forms of infrastructure in the past. Although it embodies qualities that are similar to real estate ("sites" and "domains" with "addresses") and transport systems ("pipes" and "highways"), its supportive capacities are categorically limitless. This is why restricting our understanding of the Net to real estate and transport metaphors is a mistake.
Ask ten people to tell you what the Net is, and you'll get ten different answers. The same won't happen if you ask them what a road or a water system is. Or a phone or cable TV system. An irony in that last case is that telephony and television are now forms of data. In February 2009, here in the US, analog broadcast television will go the way of the steam locomotive. All TV broadcasting will be digital. Yet it will still be represented in familiar analog-like ways, with "channels" from "networks" and so on. Lost is the fact that these things are coming to homes by digital signaling using Internet protocols.
Where I live in California, burying service underground is a huge chore. The ground is rocky, and underground service culverts need to be eight feet deep, so there's room to keep electrical, cable TV and telephone services separate, just like they are on the poles above the ground. Yet the old analog phone wiring and coaxial TV cabling are no longer required. Being just data, telephony and television can be carried on fiber-optic cabling. And that cabling can run right next to high-voltage electrical wiring, as fiber-optic signaling is unaffected by proximity to electric current. The smart thing to do, then, is to trench the dimensions required for electric service, and run the rest over fiber-optic cabling alongside it.
But we're not ready for that, mostly because we still see the Net as a grace of telephone or cable company carriage—not as something that's essentially free and open. Yes, capital outlays are required, but the upsides of making those outlays are incalculably large, for everybody.
So our problem with the Net is very similar to the problem we had with software up to a quarter century ago: it's seen as essentially proprietary. We think of it as something owned and/or controlled by a big company and delivered as a "service" that we "access". Although that's how most of us "get" the Net today, that understanding is at odds with the Net's free and open nature, and with our own as sources of value for the Net.
What we need now is a definition of the Net that is as deep and useful as the Free Software Definition's is for software. Without that definition, the Net will continue to be defined mostly by government, and by phone and cable companies.

On Music: The Wishing Tree echoes European folk, Americana
By Jim Hagerty
Staff Writer
Brainchild of prog rock guitarist Steve Rothery (Marillion) and vocalist Hanaah Stobart,The Wishing Tree has been delivering a electric brand of folk-pop since the mid-1990s. After finally releasing Carnival of Souls in 1999, the group was somewhat shelved, transforming into a Rothery/Stobart songwriting partnership.
More than 10 years later, The Wising Tree is back with Ostara, a journeyed project conceived in California and England. Lyrically charged with melodic rock and folk overtones, Ostara flirts with European electric folk and Americana, and classic vocality that slightly echoes Tori Amos and Alanis Morissette. Stobart, however, finds a comfortable middle ground to carve a unique individuality.
Intrumentally, Rothery's guitar, keyboards and bass chops shine, speaking loudly of a Carlos Santa, Sting—even a Ray Manzarek influence—creating an edgy greatness not captured since Mathbox Twenty's Yourself or Someone Like You delivered its deafening blow to the Seattle grunge movement. Backbeats are solid, while melodies are as strong as anything out there.

Indie band Mana Kintorso has a fever. The only cure is more upbeat St. Patty's Day songs. In fact, "Pot o' Gold" may be, aside from Dropkick Murphys' "Kiss Me, I'm S—faced," one of the best Irish ditties recorded in years.

Chloe's Reviews > Stardust
by Neil Gaiman (Goodreads Author)
by Neil Gaiman (Goodreads Author)
I feel like this is blasphemy, but I liked the movie better. And I think I would have liked the book better had I read it first. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the book. I think it's fun, and the world of Faerie is as mysterious as it is carefully crafted. I thought that Tristran's adventures were entertaining, and I couldn't put the book down, but don't go into this expecting the movie, because you'll be disappointed.

Evans returns in style with TD catch
Training camp had gone well enough. Everyone was hopeful. But it took the crucible of a tight game for everyone to know that Lee Evans, sidelined by a devastating knee injury in Wisconsin's 2002 spring game, was back.
The moment came with Wisconsin trailing 17-10 at West Virginia early in the fourth quarter. Facing a third-and-12 at the Mountaineers 20-yard line, Badgers quarterback Jim Sorgi, as he had so many times before, looked to Evans. With cornerback Lance Frazier covering him tightly at the 6-yard line, Evans went up and got the ball. An instant later, Evans was in the end zone. And the Badgers were on their way to a come-from-behind 24-17 victory.
"It was typical Lee Evans," Badgers coach Barry Alvarez said. "All hands. Taking the ball away where he was contested, but catching it with strong hands, then being powerful enough to get in the end zone."
Even the ordinarily poised Evans, who had been preparing for this moment since he had torn up his knee in the Badgers' 2002 spring game, felt the drama pulsing through him.
"It was incredible," said the 5-foot-10, 202-pound senior, who had passed on the 2002 NFL draft after a record-breaking 2001 season, only to see his football life put in doubt by the injury. "I actually had a lot more emotion than I thought I was going to have. I always try to stay calm, stay poised. But it was such a big play for our team. I just exploded with emotion."
With one catch, the receiver who had made 75 catches in 2001 for a Big Ten-record 1,545 yards and nine touchdowns knew the game he cherished was embracing him back.
Back on the sidelines, Sorgi approached Evans with a big grin. "Just like old times," the quarterback said after connecting with Evans on a touchdown pass for the 20th time.
When they went back out, with the score tied 17-17, there was a confidence about the Badgers. They were in a tight situation, on the road against a capable opponent, but they weren't going to be stopped.
After Sorgi connected with Evans for a 15-yard gain, the Badgers went to their traditional bread-and-butter ground game, running on the last six plays of their seven-play, 67-yard game-winning drive.
"It got to the point where we just had to go back to traditional Wisconsin football," said tailback Anthony Davis, who rushed for 167 yards. "We had to really start pounding them."
But rest assured, those holes were easier to open because of the threat of Evans and the promising Wisconsin passing game.
Evans finished the day with seven catches for 70 yards. Sophomore Brandon Williams, who learned on the job when Evans was sidelined last year, had seven catches for 89 yards.
"It took a while to get into the flow and rhythm of the game," Evans said. "Certainly, early, I could have made a couple more plays. But I made them when it counted. I'm grateful for that."
Wisconsin's Big Ten rivals noticed, no doubt. In 2001, Sorgi and Evans connected on 10 passes of at least 30 yards. That combination, along with the running of Davis, who has averaged 1,500 yards the last two seasons, gives the Badgers an offense that has a lot of ways to beat opponents.
Now everybody knows Lee Evans is back.

"A magisterial work...You can't help thinking about the economic crisis we're living through now." --The New York Times Book Review
It is commonly believed that the Great Depression that began in 1929 resulted from a confluence of events beyond any one person's or government's control. In fact, as Liaquat Ahamed reveals, it was the decisions made by a small number of central bankers that were the primary cause of that economic meltdown, the effects of which set the stage for World War II and reverberated for decades. As yet another period of economic turmoil makes headlines today, Lords of Finance is a potent reminder of the enormous impact that the decisions of central bankers can have, their fallibility, and the terrible human consequences that can result when they are wrong.
Liaquat Ahamed has been a professional investment manager for 25 years. He has worked at the World Bank in Washington D.C. and the New York based partnership of Fischer Francis Trees and Watts, where he served as Chief Executive. He is currently an adviser to several hedge fund groups, including the Rock Creek Group and the Rohatyn Group, is a director of Aspen Insurance Co. and is on the board of Trustees of the Brookings Institution. He has degrees in economics from Harvard and Cambridge Universities.

If you want to see Macklemore & Ryan Lewis but failed to secure tickets last week then this is a golden opportunity. These guys put on such an amazing show I might actually go both nights.

Cold weather brings out the color!
Usually this planter doesn't look that great until around Easter when the light gets stronger and longer, but I was noticing yesterday just how bright the colors are.
The cold is causing the orchids to bud, also. I should have nice flowers just in time for Christmas!
Hi Cena,
That is a wonderful succulent garden. I really like the colors.
Well, thank you!
Do you mean the one with thick red margins, or the one with thin red margins? Since they both seem to be near the center.
At 12 o'clock we have Aeonium hawarthia 'Pin Wheels'. Thin red margins.
One o'clock a plant we ID'd tentatively, but I would have to look for the id. The bell like blooms have a blue edge, a most spectacular plant!
2 & 3 are Sempervivens of some kind.
4, 4:30 is a Graptoveria of some type, perhaps a Graptopetalum.
The center plant is Echeveria 'Red Edge', a fine specimen. This one is about 4 years, maybe 5 in this pot. Thick red margins.
The next at 6 straight down is Sempervivens arachnoidea (?sp)
And the 10 o'clock position is Crassula 'Morgans Pink' as far as I know. It blooms about 3 times a year, and no, I have no conclusive ID to say it is MP.
There are a couple of crassulas tucked up under, but they hardly can be seen.
Let me know if there is a question about the specific plant you were asking about.
oooh! i have a weakness for semps! i left all of mine with my mom when i moved to AZ--figured they'd be happier there.
is that orchid a cymbidium, cena? i fished one out of the trash at Trader Joe's--it was fine, just the bloom stalk was broken off and they figured they couldn't sell it, i guess. i read they like to have a cold spell so i left it outside this "winter."
Yep, cymbs do really well here. Its been getting down to 50* at night, and all of the larger ones are sending out bloom stalks. Since there are so many flowers on the stalk, this is another one that wants regular fert through out the year to preform when scheduled. Since I've got two out of five popping guess I managed that somewhat.
Well, my C. 'Pinkie' must be on strike this year. Shoot, I was really looking forward to seeing some flowers from it again this year. I'm jealous, also, of your success with succulents, they dislike my terrerium conditions about as much as the begonias like it.
