chantinii x DM ?????
Hi everyone,
Some of you might remember back in April that I had read about microwaving pollen to kill it and putting it on the stigma of a related plant, to break down the resistance of the stigma to pollen that it would normally reject? And in my mad enthusiasm I had put microwaved pollen from Aech. flavorosea onto a dark banded Aech. chantinii, with the somewhat confused notion that this might help it to accept pollen from Bill. Domingos Martins? I've included the link below if you want full details of the original lunacy.
Well, there have been some results, but, er .... what are they???
The pic below shows the chantinii flower spike in late September, approx. 5 months after I did the pollinations.
I had chopped it off the plant because the wind had broken the stem and although it was heavy with a nice fat berry from every flower, not a single one had shown any sign of changing colour to indicate that it was fertile. I was just about to throw it in the bin when I thought I'd have a look inside a couple of the berries - not because I expected to find anything, but more out of a vague interest to see what the inside of a berry was like. Anyway, I pulled off one of the berries that I had pollinated with only microwaved flavorosea pollen ( I had done a few of these as a control, to see if this had any effect by itself) and dissected the berry apart carefully so I could get a clear picture of what it was like inside. And, tucked away in one compartment of the ovary was .... a single seed. I thought "you beauty, a seed!". Then I thought " *&%^@, it was from a flower pollinated only with the nuked flavorosea pollen! %#^$, *&%#@, $#%^! Ah well, I might as well check them all out." So, I dissected every single berry apart carefully to find out what was going on.
Back in April I had pollinated some flowers with nuked flavorosea pollen only (as a control as noted above), some with nuked flavorosea pollen plus live Bill. DM pollen, and some with live Bill. DM pollen only. Taking all of these together, I had ended up pollinating 13 flowers in total out of the 61 on the flower spike. So, five months later there were 13 berries from flowers that I had pollinated, and 48 berries from flowers that I had not touched. Of the 13 berries that I had pollinated, five contained at least one seed, while of the 48 berries that I had not pollinated, not a single one contained any seeds at all.
You could argue that my pollination attempts showed this level of success purely by chance, but to have success with 5 out of 13 flowers when none of the other 48 produced results? Getting that sort of difference purely by chance is pretty unlikely - a bit less than one chance in ten thousand using some standard calculations. So, it is probably a pretty safe bet that the presence of seeds really was a result of me doing something to the flower, but what? I did a few different things, but what was it that I did that produced the results?
Looking just at the berries from flowers that I had pollinated, 4 had been pollinated with nuked flavorosea pollen only and 2 of these had seeds, while 9 had been pollinated with live DM pollen and 3 of these had seeds. So, 2 out of 4 compared to 3 out of 9? Any difference between those results could easily be due to chance. So, just based on whether or not the berries contained seeds, there really is no good reason to suspect that the DM pollen was any more effective than the nuked flavorosea pollen.
Bummer! Maybe a few of the nuked flavorosea pollen grains were still live, and they produced the seeds! Or, maybe my interfering with the flowers was enough to allow a few pollen grains from the chantinii to succesfully self-pollinate! (I was very careful to avoid selfing the chantinii and there were never any visible signs of any pollination activity apart from mine in the fully enclosed shadehouse, but ....). Or, maybe maybe maybe, a few of the DM pollen grains were actually successful as well? Or, maybe all three!
Hmmmm. Looking then at the numbers of seeds, the two "fertile" berries from nuked flavorosea pollen only had 1 and 2 seeds respectively, while the three "fertile" berries from the DM pollen had 4, 3 and 3 seeds respectively. So, 1 & 2 for the nuked flavorosea pollen compared to 4, 3 & 3 for the DM pollen. You could argue that getting that much difference could well happen just by chance, but it is starting to get a bit unlikely - a bit less than one chance in twenty using some standard calculations. So, although the numbers are small, there is some reason for suspecting that, maybe maybe maybe, the DM pollen resulted in more seeds being produced! And, maybe maybe maybe, some of them are actually chantinii x DM!
So, I planted the seeds in late September and here they are approx. 6 weeks later.
From the grand total of 13 seeds, there are five vigorous little seedlings on the way plus another two slow-pokes. I just wish I knew which berries they were from! When I found seeds in the nuked flavorosea-pollen berries I was so disappointed that I didn't keep the seeds from the different berries separate. Still a silly boy! Ah well, I guess I'll just have to wait until they grow through anyway before I get some clear idea of what they really are. I'll let you know in a couple of years.
Cheers, Paul
Here is a link that might be useful: Don't microwave the alfoil!
Science marches on! Well, sort of...... ;-)
You're juggling three different species here, Paul, and that makes for a lot of variables. To do a more conclusive experiment, you'd need to have more controls: 1) left alone, 2) emasculated but otherwise untampered with, 3) intentionally self-pollinated minus any outside pollen, 4) nuked flavorosea pollen plus self pollen, 5) nuked flavorosea pollen only, 6) nuked flavorosea pollen plus fresh DM pollen, 7) fresh DM pollen only.
I think you're right to assume that it's probably not mere coincidence that only the tinkered-with flowers set any seed at all, but 1 or 2 seeds vs. 3 or 4 is really not statistically significant. If it was 1 or 2 vs. 20 or 30, that would be more conclusive. Since the purpose of the nuked pollen is supposed to be to trick a self-incompatible plant into accepting its own pollen, the DM element is kind of a red herring anyway. If you had a control with just the Bill pollen vs. one with both Bill and nuked pollen, and saw significantly more seed set with the addition of the nuked pollen, then I'd say you were onto something. Right now you don't really know if the simple act of emasculating the flower might have been enough to put just a few grains of self pollen in the right place at the right time either. I often see that with plants I have used as pollen parents. Sometimes they're fertile, sometimes not.
And yes, you silly boy, after going to all of that trouble it might have helped to mark which seeds came from which berries! Oh well, you can always try again next year. In the meantime we'll look forward to a possible xBillmea domingotinii!
I could not agree with you more Lisa ,and it always pays to write everything down Paul ,failure teaches you everything hmmm? and even for me ; as fertile as most foliage Vrieseas are, sometimes the odd plant is and sometimes its not ,goes for a lot of plants ,the variables that affect them are infinite ,but write it down Paul.We also want to know . Jack
I've found the single seed in a berry to be pretty common in Aechmeas that I've played around with. I still haven't figured out what it indicates but I am growing out a few of them to see. However, I've made several chantinii bigeneric crosses and of the dozen or so berries that had seeds only 1 had just 1 seed.
Hi Paul,
Interesting experimental work for sure, and well-recorded - although too complex for my non-mathematical brain! It seems to me that you HAVE written it all down. Pity about not knowing which of the solitary seeds came from which recorded experiment - but time will prove your suspicions.
Good luck with the results down the track. I hope you get a potent xBillmea 'Martinii' - cheers!
Hi everyone,
Lisa, you are absolutely spot-on as usual :))). As a scientific experiment it is a pretty good example of the confusion you get when you don't plan it out properly before you start. The whole thing has been a bit of a giggle, even wheeling out some old statistical analysis tools that I haven't used for the last thirty years or so. I never thought that I'd find a recreational use for those, let alone have some fun doing it!
But, fun or not, I must admit that I was really annoyed with myself within seconds of mixing those seeds up. What a nong! Jack, I am normally an absolute stickler for keeping track of things like that as you suggest and keep telling myself over and over. What a case of brain-fade!
And Rick, I agree, the very small number of seeds certainly does have me wondering - along a few different lines as Lisa indicated. Nick, it is interesting that you've found that to happen as well, and Nev, you're right, the fun continues with the anticipation. Nothing like having a few un-answered questions to make life interesting!
Thanks for your comments, and Lisa, I just love the name. I think you have just claimed naming rights if anything worthwhile eventuates. I'll let you know!
Cheers, Paul

Judge set to preside over oil spill settlement; Halliburton objects

NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge in New Orleans is set to preside over a hearing on a proposed class-action settlement that would resolve billions of dollars in claims against BP over the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
BP PLC and a team of plaintiffs' attorneys are seeking U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier's preliminary approval of the settlement agreement, which is designed to resolve more than 100,000 claims by people and businesses who blame the spill for economic losses. Barbier is scheduled to hear their request today.
BP estimates it will pay about $7.8 billion to resolve these claims, but the settlement doesn't have a cap.
The deal was announced March 2, but its details are spelled out in hundreds of pages of documents filed last week.
Cement contractor Halliburton is objecting to the proposed settlement between BP and the plaintiffs group.
Halliburton said in a filing in federal court in New Orleans late yesterday the settlement improperly seeks to assign certain claims that BP has made against Halliburton to the Plaintiffs Steering Committee.
The Houston-based company says allowing the settlement to be approved under those conditions would affect its ability to independently settle with the PSC or individual plaintiffs. Halliburton also asserts it can't be made to contribute to payments BP makes to the plaintiffs without a legal obligation to do so.

At the war between Mexico's drug cartels remain evergreen, seven severed heads have been found stuffed in plastic bags on the edge of a highway 25 miles from the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco state.

Keywords: Jalisco state, Mexico, drug deaths, murder
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The latest gruesome incident arrives just as the Mexican government has declared that the murder rate is falling.
More than 60,000 people died in violence linked to warring drug cartels during the 2006-2012 presidency of Felipe Calderon. The deadly march carries on: An average of 1,000 people per month has been killed under his successor, Enrique Pena Nieto, who took office last year.
Jalisco, the home of tequila and mariachi music, has been among the hardest hit by the ongoing violence. Murders were up more than five percent during the first five months of this year compared with the same period a year ago, according to Mexican police.
Two teenage boys were also found dead, allegedly killed after making fun of a boy in their class that was the son of a drug dealer. They were found buried in a wood just outside of Guadalajara.
Jalisco's tourism minister was shot dead in Guadalajara in March, just a week after taking office. Jose de Jesus Gallegos Alvarez was shot by a 9mm pistol while driving in a suburb.
Mayor Maria Santos Gorrostieta was abducted and murdered by a drug cartel last year. It was the third assassination attempt on the outspoken politician.
The 36-year-old was hauled from her vehicle and physically assaulted as horrified witnesses watched.
She is described as having begged for her child to be left alone and then appeared to get into her abductors' car willingly. She left behind her daughter and two sons as well as her second husband Nereo Delgado Patinoran.

yucca care in MN
I have question I am hoping someone will be able to help me answer. I just purchased a Yucca Filamentosa, it is late August here in MN. This is my first Yucca and the plant is only about a ft (2 ft with plant pot) tall. Being this late in the season, I am thinking of keeping in the house thru the winter months. Any care suggestions would be appreciated. Then I need suggestions for planting it in the spring. Where, full sun, part sun, out of the wind etc. etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Remember this is MN and it gets very cold, but I have heard they will survive in MN. But I need help. thank you.
Good questions.... I too am hoping to pull a similar yucca rabbit out of our zone 3/4 hat here in NW BC...lol.... there might be some clues in my thread...Yucca filamentosa below..... it is the same for Japanese Maples for me.... of which there is a very good post below....JMs in Manitoba.
Good luck...I eagerly await good and successful reports!
I think the best thing would be to plant it outside as soon as possible, so it can start establishing itself before winter.
They like full sun but do okay in part sun, well drained soil ideally on the drier side, though mine seems to tolerate soggy periods where the soil doesn't dry out. But I find mine does better with good winter snowcover. After the first few snowfalls I ensure I surround it with a mound of snow to protect it from the winter sun. They are evergreen, like conifers. Some years the bladed leaves suffer winter dessication (damage) from the hot sun in late Feb/March while temperatures are still below freezing. Some years almost all the leaves on mine die, but by mid summer the plant has regrown from the roots and recovered. It is pretty tough.
You mention your plant is only 2 feet tall with pot. They really don't get that much taller, maybe 2 feet tall in total but of course if they bloom the flower spike rises up above the plant. They aren't like the houseplant tree type yucca, however, which gets tall with a woody trunk.
Here is the link to the recent discussion on them.
Here is a link that might be useful: Yucca Filamentosa
Despite a "tropical" look, yuccas can take cold and dry. Think "desert" - those are the places they come from and deserts can be very cold places, you know. I suspect that cold and MOIST would probably do them in. So agree with glen3a, get them in the ground the sooner, the better. Look for a very sunny spot where there is no standing water.
Good luck!

This is a really decent remix
I've been hooked on the mirror's edge theme for a long time and after hearing various remix gotta say this is one of the best :) one point of criticism is maybe add a light bass around 2:00, apart from that its very good
Keep up the good work
by the way, who done the vocals? (was it a synthesizer or real person)
You and me both! First time I heard that after the first trailer i was really amazed :O
i tried playing with bass, but it somehow never stuck or took the song in another direction :/ i would've added it if it stuck, but maybe i messed up somewhere, i dont know XD
anyway, I'm glad you liked it!
about the vocals, I did those! :D

I don't know much of the game you speak of (I'm doing a bit of research as we speak) but regardless, this is an AMAZING musical piece. The sound, the flow, the general feel and emotion... It's all very strong and very solid, and my only wish is that there were a higher rating that I could give you XP
Congratulations on the weekly top five, and very well earned I might add! Keep it up, this piece was GORGEOUS!
i suppose by now you know a little more about the game? :) it certainly looks unique, right? all the blue and red, soooo pretty hahaha
Anyway, I'm glad you liked the song, and thanks about the top 5! lol about the higher rating btw XD

Foxconn Renaissance X58 Digital Life motherboard photo
Photos of a retail Foxconn Renaissance X58 Digital Life motherboard have surfaced on the web. The cooling is a bit weird as you'll see on the photo, the Northbridge cooling looks somewhat like a speaker while the Southbridge heatsink looks like a knob. Heh, I kinda like it though. More photo's here.
Here's a look at some of the specifications:
* X58 tylersburg chipset
* ICH10-R southbridge
* 6 phase power circuit for CPU
* 2x 16X PCI-E and 2x 8X PCI-E slots

Windows 7 released in 2009 ?
I'll do the blunt copy and paste here, but in a nutshell .. there's a rumor on the web that's saying that Microsoft Windows 7 might be relased as soon as 2009 already. There have been more rumors on this topic, yet AMD has just added fuel to the fire:
As PC Watch reports, AMD showed an interesting slide during its presentation at the Cutting Edge IT & Electronics Comprehensive Exhibition (CEATEC) event near Tokyo.
Under the title, "What to Expect in 2009," the AMD slide lists a number of items: the move to 40nm process technology, the arrival of the OpenCL general-purpose GPU API, widespread use of GDDR5 memory, consumer GPGPU applications, "HD+" televisions, and... Windows 7. To be more specific, the slide says "Windows 7 and DirectX 11" on one line.
PC Watch doesn't say much on the subject, so it's not fully clear what AMD was referring to there. Perhaps the firm let slip Microsoft's release schedule, or perhaps it's just talking about getting drivers working with pre-release versions of the OS. Judging by the context, though, it certainly looks like AMD expects Windows 7 to come out next year.
A 2009 launch sounds plausible, too. Microsoft has apparently been cutting fat from the OS by removing apps like Windows Mail, Windows Photo Gallery, and Windows Movie Maker. Also, recent reports have claimed Microsoft's internal calendar sets the Windows 7 "gold" date in early June. According to ZDNet's Ed Bott, Microsoft would have to trim the OS's beta cycle to get it out before next summer, but that schedule "would be downright leisurely compared to the one Microsoft followed for Windows XP, which was launched in October 2001, only 20 months after its predecessor, Windows 2000." [via tech report]
Microsoft XP downgrades extended to July 2009
The delay if accurate would draw out the availability of XP for non-budget PCs until just months before the release of the next-generation Windows operating system expected in early 2010. The remaining window would be the smallest in recent memory where the current version of Windows was available exclusively.
Although Vista adoption has accelerated since computer makers have had to discontinue XP sales for consumer systems earlier in June, Microsoft has routinely struggled to counter negative perceptions formed early in Vista's history and has seen stiffer resistance from businesses whose software and hardware is more likely to be incompatible with the more recent Windows platform.
The original extension is commonly known to have stemmed from pressure by PC assemblers concerned that business sales would draw to a halt without guarantees of XP availability for some systems.
Performance RAM can damage Nehalem i7 processor
The Inquirer heard that Intel is adivising mobo-makers and memory vendors alike about their new X58+Core i7 combo and to abide to a strict 1.65V limit on memory voltages, beyond which there is the risk of burning out the CPU.
The info first tipped up on the XFastest forums where the admin posted several photos of an Asus P6T Deluxe (retail-packed) mobo including one of a big sticker over the DIMM slots motherboard warning that anything over 1.65V will fry the CPU.
The DDR3 JEDEC specification is well within limits of this, however, starting off at 1.5V, but as Intel
Download - Crysis Warhead Benchmark
The HOC Crysis Warhead Benchmark is a very hard opponent against the synthetic benchmark. Many usefull options, many tweaks, many lost FPS...
Crysis Warhead updates and refines the gameplay of the original game through a sidestory plot involving Psycho, one of previous protagonist Nomad's allies. The game is a parallel story that follows Sergeant Michael "Psycho" Sykes, a character from the original Crysis, as he faces his own trials and challenges on the other side of the island during the time period of the first game. It features new fully customizable weapons, vehicles and enemies, along with new multiplayer content. It also showcases a new, enhanced and optimized version of CryEngine 2 and is the first game developed by Crytek's Budapest studio.

Download - Fraps updated to version 2.9.6
Fraps is a universal Windows application that can be used with games using DirectX or OpenGL graphic technology. In its current form Fraps performs many tasks and can best be described as:
- Benchmarking Software - Show how many Frames Per Second (FPS) you are getting in a corner of your screen. Perform custom benchmarks and measure the frame rate between any two points. Save the statistics out to disk and use them for your own reviews and applications.
- Screen Capture Software - Take a screenshot with the press of a key! There's no need to paste into a paint program every time you want a new shot. Your screen captures are automatically named and timestamped
- Realtime Video Capture Software - Have you ever wanted to record video while playing your favourite game? Come join the Machinima revolution! Throw away the VCR, forget about using a DV cam, game recording has never been this easy! Fraps can capture audio and video up to 2560x1600 on dual-core CPUs (1152x864 single-core) at up to 100 frames per second!
The latest Fraps 2.9 release adds support for Vista and DirectX 10 games. With games starting to appear using DirectX 10 graphics we are happy to report that benchmarking, video capture, and screenshots are now all fully supported for these titles.
Vista also includes a rewritten audio subsystem. Fraps can take advantage of this and directly record a sound stream from the machine without requiring any support from the soundcard driver. This allows you to capture ingame audio even if you are using a USB headset or other audio device which does not normally support a "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" recording input.
Since the Vista Desktop Window Manager (DWM) runs through DirectX we have also added a new option to monitor the desktop under Vista. You can now take screenshots and record video from the desktop just like any other game or 3D application.
- Fixed games such as Stalker not being detected in 2.9.5
- Fixed video capture corruption in FSX on multi monitor setups
- Fixed codec crashes in large projects
- Fixed Fraps not starting with Windows when running on battery power
- Fixed Fraps closing when switching to battery power
- Fixed OpenGL video capture not recording correct viewport in some applications
- Fixed sound sync when recording started while rendering paused

Fusion-io preps 700MB/sec home flash drive
Typically known for its business storage, Fusion-io provided a glance at an upcoming solid-state drive built for very high-performance home systems. The ioExtreme card will hold just 80GB but switches from SATA to PCI Express and is tuned for sheer transfer rate above all else: data reading speeds hover between 500MB and 700MB per second, or about five times as quick as current SSDs. The extra speed is pitched as ideal for particularly disk-heavy tasks such as compiling code, content editing or large games.
The card is still in the development stage and hasn't received its official operating system support or complete technical details. Fusion-io plans to release the ioExtreme in early 2009 and is targeting a price below $1,000, putting it in the same price range as high-end traditional but slower SSDs.
Kid Rock snubs iTunes, turns to Rhapsody
Rap-rocker Kid Rock has chosen Rhapsody as the exclusive online sales venue for his music, the owner of latter party has announced. Real notes that Kid Rock's albums have not been available online in any legal manner in the past, whether for download or streaming; as of today, the artist's entire collection should be available for purchase or streaming through the subscription version of Rhapsody.
The decision is notable mainly because of Rock's outspoken dislike for the iTunes Store, in spite of its prominence as the most financially successful music download site. His most recent album, Rock N Roll Jesus, has nevertheless sold over 1.7 million copies, which the Wall Street Journal observes is an impressive figure in a world of deteriorating CD sales. Many parties are said to be irritated with the restrictions of iTunes, which can include DRM, an insistence of selling tracks separately, and pressure to offer exclusivity in exchange for advertising on the iTunes homepage [via Macnn].

ThermalTake BigTyp 14Pro CPU cooler
ThermalTake announced its BigTyp 14Pro processor cooler will be available later this month. This cooler features a mirror-coated copper base, six copper heatpipes and a 140mm blue LED fan. The BigTyp 14Pro is compatible with Intel LGA775 and AMD Socket AM2/AM2+ processors and features a VR Fan Knob to adjust the fan speed.
According to the specifications, the 140mm fan has a max airflow level of 85.76CFM and a noise level between 16dBA and 24dBA. The ThermalTake BigTyp 14Pro measures 156mm x 155mm x 128mm and weighs 800g.
BigTyp14Pro is without a doubt an impressive upgrade; the innovative stream shaped fan cover is not only there for styling purpose, but it also serves to speed up the air circulation. The mirror coating copper base seamlessly contact with the CPU and works with the 6 copper heatpipes to efficiently transfer the heat to the fins and 14cm large fan for heat dissipation process. VR

Sysadmin nicked nearly 20,000 pieces of kit
Court documents said the swag looted by Victor Papagno was valued at over $120,000 and included a wide variety of items, from printer toner and software to hard drives, personal computers and other pieces of office equipment.
A local TV station reported that Papagno boosted so much stuff over the years that at times he had to store some of it at neighbors' houses.
Reportedly no national security information was compromised by the thefts, but personal data belonging to 14 laboratory workers was stolen and those people have been notified.
Papagno is looking at up to two years in federal prison when he is sentenced in December [via Inquirer].

I am beginning to drink the BCM kool-aid. I added a BCM Gunfighter charging handle, which is simply a great design idea, that works. I also looked at the BCM BCG (auto). My rifle has run flawlessly, so what will I gain from the "upgrade"? My current BCG does not have the heavier profile of the auto version. I know I won't gain auto fire from just the BCG, but are there other advantages to the design? Does the additional weight increase recoil or internal wear?

Full auto carriers have a shroud that protects the firing pin while the bcg is cycling. A heavier bcg slows down the timing, though it really doesn't make that much of a difference as the weight difference between a FA & SA is tiny.
more weight means more positive feeding from the increased inertia. it also eliminates any carrier tilt which can happen and is a frequent cause of feed issues.
the bcm bcg are all milspec and individually tested. the bolts are hardened by shotpeening which means they are typically going to last into the 25-30k range before needing replacement. most non peened bolts last 5-10K. they come fitted with the black inserts and with the o-rings in the bag as an option needed to ensure ultra reliable extraction in carbines. the orings go around the extractor spring under the extractor.
i think they are a no brainer and bcm has em in stock get one or two while you can.

So quick question then, and I'm not trying to start any wars, just curious to know the answer. For me, would it be viable to change to the BCM BCG? Coming from a DDM4V3 BCG?
The biggest issue with assembling an AR isn't so much getting the parts together right - it's getting the right parts together.

PRLog - March 28, 2014 - MERIDEN, Conn. -- mDJr performed at the "Artist Showcase" held at The Reserve in Meriden, CT on Sunday March 23, 2014 presented by 50/50 Music Management in association with Good Money Music and Dollaz Unlimited. Local and out-of-state artists of all genres performed for the chance to be awarded with the following winnings: $500.00 cash-in-hand;
Mike Dontfraid
Mike Dontfraid aka mDJr is an Artist/Producer from New Haven, CT who has made his presence known in multiple genres, such as Dancehall, Hip Hop, EDM and Pop/Hip-Hop. Currently his multi-genre production has reached popularity in Southern California.
Not all artists know what to expect when arriving at events catered to all genres, unbeknownst to artists, they may not be a good fit for the crowd at large. When the energy is not there, talented artists appear to lose their stage presence, which was the case for mDJr and his hype man, Boogie Crawford.
"The event was definitely beneficial to any artist, regardless of the turnout. It was a chance to experience what it's like to be in a room where you need to socialize to talk to who you want," stated mDJr.
The audience support was lacking, but the inter artist support was more than accommodating. mDJr swapped contact information with burned discs to give to other artists for future collaborations and met a new prospective manager by the name of Supreme. He may not have walked away in the top three winnings, but he left with a network of industry executives and artists connections for future music career advancement.
To learn more about mDJr, contact Tishawn Seaton, Publicist 209.227.4643 or email@example.com.

Bourbon Butterscotch Ramekins
October 23, 2013 § Leave a comment
Outside my window at the office is a row of orange-hued trees separating the parking lot from the train tracks. On the other side of the tracks is a smaller, vibrant red tree. If you just prevent yourself from looking below, you can almost cut out any signs of civilization from your line of vision, and before you stretches a field of color. I often get to the office before anyone else has arrived and have a few moments to myself, a way of steadying myself for the day ahead, in the silent, dark office, before anyone turns on the lights, the room lit only by the morning light outside the windows. By 4 p.m. my head is pounding from staring at my computer screen for hours, and on my way home, my thoughts are preoccupied in the internal debate "run or nap." Today, we're finally starting to feel the real depth of fall, not the light, crispness of early fall, but that time when the leaves crunch underfoot instead of lighting up the horizon, and you can feel—just short of seeing—your breath in the air. Winter is coming.
I'm on my third pan of apple crisp this season. I picked up the last week of our CSA this week, loaded down with butternut squash, stalks of brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes—there was even a bit of popcorn thrown in. I'm finding it hard to resist the urge to go into hibernation mode, and it's not even the end of October. It's getting harder and harder to get out of the house for a run, though I did have a great 9-miler last weekend with the club team that seemed to fly by because I was out, not only meeting new people, but actually feeling like I was connecting with people.
With hibernation comes wintery flavors, sweeter, heavier, flavors that allow me to burrow down in comfort. My mind is coming back to a recipe I tried from Bon Appétit. Bourbon. Butterscotch. Cream. What couldn't there be to love in that? In the end I had mixed feelings about the recipe. The quick turn in the blender, which was supposed to give the pudding its smooth texture, resulted in a bubbly top. I found myself wanting a lighter texture, which I associate, for reasons that may not be based in fact, with custards over puddings. So I burned a brulée on top and that made everything slightly better. Still, I expect I'll come back to these flavors soon…perhaps in the form of a cake? Perhaps as a tart filling? That seems to recall Momofuko's crack pie, and an article I read awhile ago, "No, Your Favorite Food is Not Like Crack," which rang much truer with me than I initially thought it would.
New Hampshire getaway
October 8, 2013 § Leave a comment
Last weekend, we drove north to New Hampshire. Or rather, Dan drove us north, since I still can't drive. The idea for the weekend originated with my registering for the Applefest Half Marathon in Hollis, a course of rolling hills through the fall foliage with the promise of apple crisp at the finish line, and baskets of apples and pies as prizes if I did well enough. Luckily we were not disappointed — I say we because I got cornered into promising to make several apple pies if I didn't manage to win one at the race. The course was tough, much hillier than I had pictured (word is, my website reading abilities aren't the greatest as the rolling hills were clearly indicated when I signed up to run), and I never felt like I settled into a real rhythm. But I came in just two minutes behind my half marathon PR and was pretty pleased that I had finally gotten back into training and racing, even if the actual race had moments that could have gone better. And the prize, a towering basket of apples, for winning my age group, was a pretty nice cherry on top.
From there, the weekend was mostly eating. A first post-race stop at a nearby apple orchard where a wood-fired pizza cart had set up on the lawn for lunch included a pizza topped with spiced pumpkin sauce and bacon, another with peppers, onions, and spinach, blistered black crust and the squeals of children in the rows of pumpkins by the general store. Then, we drove north to Concord, where we stopped at the Gould Hill Farm in Contoocook. A delightful orchard nestled in the rolling hills, now flaming orange and red, specked like evergreen, we ate hot fluffy cider donuts, drank apple cider, and picked a peck full of Empires, Macouns, and Hampshires. We also played catch with an apple and ate a few, but we don't tell everyone that.
We drove two more hours north, through the lakes region, to North Conway, where we stayed the night at the Isaac Merrill House (Thanks, Mom!), a sweet, white house, dating back to 1773, with creaky floors and fluffy blueberry pancakes and French toast for breakfast. We spent a lot of the trip in the car, expressly to see the fall foliage, which draws so many people north every year. Sunday morning, we drove through the national forest, stopping every so often, emerging into the chill to take in the river winding down next to the road, the mountains streaked with color, vibrant orange hitting the blue backdrop of the sky. As we approached Boston, the rain started to come down, at first a light mist but increasingly heavy, and we stopped again in Concord, this time to discover that most bakeries and restaurants are closed on Sunday, and settled for a veggie pizza, that was actually quite good, as pizza tends to be.
I'll spend the next week coming up with ways to use all of the apples we brought home; it started with an apple crisp, topped with vanilla ice cream last night, which we'll continue to eat for breakfast these work-day mornings.

Stepping out of the house this morning and seeing the street sheathed in white fog was like, for a moment, stepping back home, stepping into a different city, a different time. Walking down the street towards one of the few cafes in the area I thought both took credit cards and provided free internet (as it turns out, it had only one of the two) to do some writing was like stepping back half a year, to writing my thesis in Small World, my thesis that now sits on my desk, bound, and untouched. It's the first weekend I've had to myself in a long time, and I'm using it to find my voice writing again, which is much harder than I thought it would be. Call me crazy, but I miss my thesis, I miss having work that was mine only, I miss the life that was my research, I miss the farms, the mountains, but mostly meeting new people every day. I don't miss them individually, but as a whole, as people who pushed back on the comfortable lifestyle many enjoy (myself included), as people who nonetheless welcomed the intruder (me) with open arms. But I also miss the vast openness of the farms, and the routes we often drove to the farms, the kind of openness that makes you and your problems feel so, so small.
I had a moment like that the other day, sitting at a picnic table on our farm in Lincoln, preparing for an interview with our head farmer. One of our other farmers had given me a ride down to the farm, and then excitedly shown me a ripe green-stripped tomato in the children's garden and wandered off into the fields for a walk around — she emerged toward the end of my interview with a bouquet of flowers. So I sat for a few minutes before the interview, looking out over the fields, which ran into forest, trees whose tops are already turning red, under a cloudy, gray sky. And for a moment, as cliché as it is, I felt at peace, like the world wasn't about to close in around me, but as open as the fields before me.
And now I'm sitting in a café in Davis Square, listening to a young woman rant about her brother at the table next to me, having to do the dishes, and listen to his phone messages, while watching the toddler across from me struggle to eat a cranberry roll by shoving it in his mouth. It's funny how that vast openness can break down into such minuscule moments, pithy complaints, and dissatisfactions. I have small plans for today, just a bit of writing for work, harnessing the rutabaga and daikon radish from my CSA share into red curry, and maybe a batch of cookies. I've been doing a lot of cooking and baking lately, but have lost of rhythm of photographing and writing about it. It's starting to become routine — a batch of coffeecake muffins on Sunday for the week's breakfast, an acorn squash galette with caramelized onions and pecorino, served with greens and raspberries, a couple of pizzas topped with whatever vegetables are hanging around — and that's an interesting discovery for someone who is used to writing about being in the kitchen as an event, as something that is blog-worthy. I made a batch of pumpkin-cranberry granola yesterday after my 14-miler with the team, and was pleased that it came out in crisp, sweet clumps rather than as loose, toasted oats, as my granolas sometimes do. I'll post some of the dishes I've been more proud of soon, but for now I'm just working on rediscovering that I know how to put a sentence together.
Brief weekend eats
September 2, 2013 § Leave a comment
Just a quick little note that I'm unable to upload pictures from my camera – I don't often post my Instagram photos, but a couple from this weekend turned out better than expected, so here we are. We did a little bit of lazy food adventuring this weekend, starting with breaking in my new waffle iron on Saturday morning with some multi-grain waffles, then a pick-me-up at Tatte Bakery in Kendall Sunday afternoon (which included this spiraly brioche with halva paste) before heading to a backyard party, then homemade pizza (with homemade tomato sauce, using up all of the tomatoes from the CSA!) topped with you-name-it which we grilled at our own backyard party today.
Anyway, fingers crossed that my photos aren't lost forever in the black hole of my camera! Happy (end of) Labor Day weekend!
Peach hand pies
August 24, 2013 § Leave a comment
If there's something that has taken a bit of getting used to in my move to Boston, it's the existence of seasons. And humidity. And thunderstorms. And like, a season where no produce is in-season. Weird. Summer in Boston is a bizarre mix of scorching hot days, days that begin with thunderstorms and turn sunny, and days when it pours and pours. My summer in Boston has also been an exhaustive, exhausting blur of activity, which might help to explain why I'm getting so many complaints about not posting here often enough.
The problem is, writing is my quiet space; it's what I do when I'm feeling peaceful, reflective, all those adjectives that I haven't felt in awhile. And while I love being busy, I also love sitting in an abandoned café, gazing out the window and wondering what comes next – though, if I'm being honest, my thoughts often surround what happened in the past. But in that space where time pushes forward, leaving little space to reflect, I've had some fun settling into a new life rhythm, that grown-up life that everyone my age likes to talk about. I've gone to Newport and Gloucester; visited family of friends; made zucchini muffins and tiny glazed lime cookies, rolled in poppy seeds (more on these soon, I promise!); threw together a bowl of pasta with mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes, and herbs, just like my mom used to make; met the Mayor; watched Casablanca on a outdoor screen overlooking the Charles as the wind made for curious distortions of the images; joined a running club, and possibly committed to parts of a cross-country season; and finally, sat down to a dinner last night of sun-dried tomato bread we picked up from When Pigs Fly, topped with my homemade pesto, fresh burrata from the neighborhood Italian shop, and some tomatoes from our farm, brushed in olive oil and garlic and roasted (thanks Dan!) until they gushed generous juices when broken with a knife. Messy, messy summer on a plate.
That said, two cravings are rearing their heads, now that fall is just around the corner and I realize what I haven't gotten to eating this summer. Peaches and corn. Peaches and corn. Peaches and corn. I made these peach pocket pies a long time ago – the photo is taken on our front porch in San Francisco – and I remember the edges being slightly crunchy and chewy with the crusted juices from the peaches, which were barely sweetened so that they retained that slight pucker of cooked fruit. There's a lovely recipe for bourbon peach hand pies over at Smitten Kitchen, which I might have used but honestly I can't really remember and have a vague feeling it might have come from some page of a magazine I ripped out once upon a time.
Cleveland, Ohio
August 22, 2013 § Leave a comment
If there ever was a title I thought would never appear on my blog, it might be this one. Being a California girl at heart and currently relocated to the East Coast, I don't spend much time, really at all, traveling the Midwest. After a brutal experience in Cincinnati where I traveled for youth nationals my senior year of high school, which was a week of trying to make weight (I was a lightweight rower) amid the plethora of fast food chains littering the high-way, miles of restaurants of either side of me offering little in the way of appetizing food even when I was starving, I was ready to write off the entirety of Ohio. Enter my boyfriend who grew up in Cleveland, and a wedding that meant flying back, and I'm thinking a little differently about Ohio, though we didn't have enough time for me to really experience the city's culinary scene.
The first night was a charming backyard dinner, complete with charred pizza straight from the handmade, backyard brick oven, topped with homemade tomato sauce using tomatoes from the farm, and summer vegetables – eggplants, summer squash, artichokes. The meal was completed with Popeyes chicken and biscuits, by request of the Southern bride, and an armadillo cake for dessert, which we learned was something of a crazy tradition – a red velvet cake shaped like an armadillo, placed in a forest of icing and menorahs, a reference to the Jewish wedding which would take place the next day.
The next morning, we went out to the Washington Place Bistro and Inn for brunch, just the two of us. The monkey bread, slightly chewy with a crispy exterior that kept its crunch when drenched in caramel sauce, came on the house, and Dan enjoyed making monkey faces while I photographed it. Then, we ordered pierogi with stewed oxtail (which I ate not even realizing that oxtail is actually beef!) and two entrees, a salmon BLT on ciabatta served with fries embellished with cut herbs and malt vinegar aioli, and a pot roast hash with poached egg and toasted challah. We left stuffed, but I regret failing to finish the last five fries! Possibly the richest brunch I've ever had; I don't remember a time we've have eaten out together and failed on the last couple of bites!
Morocco: One day stops
July 20, 2013 § 3 Comments
We had a couple of one-night stays when traveling from place to place in Morocco, despite our desire to pick a few places and explore them well instead of trying to maximize the number of cities and towns we hit. The day of our initial arrival in Morocco, we spent a night in Casablanca, which significant prior reading advised skipping altogether as the city itself is "nothing special" to the Western traveler.
I was actually quite glad we stayed. While the city was certainly larger and busier than the ones to follow, we learned quickly that the best way to cross a large boulevard is to dart out in front of moving vehicles. In the morning we walked from our hotel to the Hassan II Mosque, attempting to hug the waterfront along the way, a path that was thwarted by the police officer who stopped us, concerned that we might not want to be walking into the industrial fishing port. Once on our way again, the mosque was easy to discern amongst the other buildings in the area. The intricate, detailed tiling and high arches were enough to keep us entertained for quite awhile, even without the hour-and-a-half tour of the inside. What struck me most about Casablanca was the old medina, which again we had read was barely worth a visit. The medina in Casablanca is very much still in use, a huddle of alleyways packed with people selling produce – bundles of herbs and fresh watermelons – fried breads and other bites to eat. We wandered through virtually unnoticed as everyone went about their everyday lives. Keeping a eye on the paths we took, we eventually spilled out through a gate at the other side of the medina, almost exactly where we were aiming. Again, busier, dirtier, (I think my walk down one alley must have looked much like I was playing hopscotch) but I walked away from Morocco a week later feeling that if there was one place I would have liked to linger and chat about "daily life," it would have been here.
One day stop number two! We arrived in Fes after a 5-hour bus ride from Chef chaouen, expecting a 7 hour train to Marrakech the next afternoon. It was the first place we encountered the young boys aggressively offering directions, and I owe part of our negative experience here to my getting easily upset over being followed and harassed by 13-year-olds. Still some good things did come out of our 16 hours in Fes, mostly on the food front. We had our best (and most expensive) tagine in a restaurant recommended by our riad – a selection of small-bowled Moroccan salads with bread, a chicken tagine with lemon and a kefta (lamb) with spicy tomato stew and egg, followed by thin sheets of deep fried pastry layered with condensed milk cream and a huge plate of sugar cookies and coconut balls that I just had to pack up for later. Below you can see the extensive breakfast spread put out for us at the riad the next morning with mint tea and coffee. In addition to the standard bread circles and the cut loaf of sweet anise bread, we were offered a plate of warm mille trous, a soft, spongy pancake that literally translates to "a thousand holes."

Tall Plant with Long Thin Leaves
I have an approximately 8x8' patch of the pictured plant on my new property. I'm curious what it is. I haven't seen it outside of the patch, which makes me think it's location is deliberate. However, it's right in the midst of a blackberry patch, and if it's just a weed, I'd rather it not be taking away the blackberries' growth. Any thoughts on what it is and why I should keep it around?
Here at the beginning of summer, the stalks are around 6' tall.
I don't believe I will be the one to identify this plant for you but I can certainly help get your hopes up that they are actually something cool before you find out they are just weeds...well now that I see the serrated leaf edges now I'm leaning just more toward some weed, but they do look similair to goji berries which I have just started growing recently, but you would know if they were them because the stem would be woody at some point or at least the whole plant would be a lot more stiff and supported than any weed and goji berry has thicker leaves ok nevermind I think this is definitely some weed... but what you wrote about it being an 8x8 patch and the fact that that patch is then surrounded by a blackberry patch (remember blackberries are spiky) sounds to me like there is a slight chance somebody had a patch of something they wanted to keep hidden or at least inaccessible by others. Now I'm not saying this looks like cannabis to me, in my opinion it does not, not at all, but, we must always remember, there is a form of cannabis (I believe it may be cannabis rudimentialis) that does not grow the same type of buds that are sought after in the medicinal cannabis markets for thc extraction, no they don't produce thc or cbd or anything really in much vast quantities so they are used first and foremost for the production of hemp, which, is starting to become legal again in some states! hemp is better for producing paper and other textiles, and is starting to be regarded as vastly superior, and thereby acceptable, America should be tired from getting all their hemp shipped in from other countries by now anywhow, sorry I'm sure I've confused you enough... my rule I follow is I wait tilll I see flower then i ask everyone if they can identify it by the flower before I decide it's a weed... but sometimes u just know... but u just don't want to believe...

An old one. I can't remember much about it; a child asked me "what is art?" and I came up with a non-answer in the form of a title and poem.

A Poem for Ophelia
Last month, I was lucky enough to meet and type for several members of the San Fernando Valley's Junior Roller Derby team. I loved typing for each of the girls. Kristine, Ophelia's mom, sent me these pictures.
Mushrooms, Death Suits, and Twitter
A few days ago, I came across an insightful article by Alli Magidsohn (Graves That Save). It investigates sustainable funeral arrangements, as well as the philosophy behind the Sustainable/Green Death Movement.
Alli got a chance to interview Jae Rhim Lee, the creator of the Infinity Burial Project. I stumbled upon Jae's project several years ago while researching mushrooms. Though I'm not a member of the Decompiculture Society (yet!), I've been telling everyone I know about the possibility of my corpse being consumed and detoxified by fungi. In my mind, it's a fantastic goodbye gift.
"Untitled" (February 13th 2014)
Last week, I gave away free Valentine's Day love and admiration poetry at the Mid-City farmer's market.
A huge thanks to Moisés for giving me an amazing box of onionskin typewriter paper last year for my birthday…this was the first time I've used it. Love at first feel. The translucent, texturized, fragile essence made for a perfect poem this Valentine's Day.
Here's one of many poems I wrote during downtime.
Getting Ready for Artisanal LA: Mass Producing Lines of Poetry
Optimism has been a philosophy that keeps me going when logic just won't cut it. For all of its pros, looking on the bright side certainly comes with a few cons. For instance, I have decided that I will actively strive not to delude myself with extreme idealism, as I am growing weary of crashing head-first into that solid shape we sometimes refer to as reality.
Artisanal LA is this weekend. Don't ask me why, but I thought it'd be a swell idea to contribute 1,500 poems for the event gift bags. That's right. 1,500 original poems. Via typewriter.

Typewriter Poetry's Internet Poem (Or, #TyPoInPo)
There's one experiment I've been wanting to try for a while. It comes from being a fan of collaboration, as well as having a deep love of the internet.
Typewriter Poetry has always been a "we" project. In getting back to that, I'm asking anyone who reads this to help create a typewritten Internet Poem–or, as I'm
singing saying in my head, #TyPoInPo (Typewriter Poetry Internet Poem!).
How to participate, you ask? All you have to do is create a single line of poetry and upload it to the internet.

Kindness Bracelets & Jewelry as Poetry
Spontaneous gift giving is something I do a lot while traveling. Besides poetry, I'll also gift books, clothes, and jewelry to new friends I've made.
I also receive a variety of gifts. I've referenced intangible gifts in the past, the ineffable something people have offered me after we've created a poem. I don't really talk about the physical gifts I've been given–with the exception of other poems created for me.
A Poem For Tiffany the Photographer at the Canoga Park Art Walk
Being amongst other Valley folk is inspirational, especially if you're at the Canoga Park Art Walk.
No longer held in alleys, we've taken over the streets. Artists, vendors, food trucks, and musicians alike are neatly gathered along Owensmouth and Sherman Way as day parts into night. It gives the art walk a festive, open feel rather than a claustrophobic clutter of foot traffic.

Of Angels & Bitches
It's good to be home.
I've been gone for a month, giving away poems while traveling up California and Oregon with Tyler. With our backpacks, we took to hitchhiking, busing, walking, walking, and of course, more walking.
…Did I mention I brought along my typewriter?

She said she didn't know about set-times. She was super friendly, though. Forgot to ask about Glastonbury. Sorry! :/
She said she didn't know about set-times. She was super friendly, though. Forgot to ask about Glastonbury. Sorry! :/
Second best set of the day, easily.
2/28 Warpaint @ Fais Do-Do, 4/10 St. Vincent @ The Cosmopolitan, 5/2 Desert Daze, 5/8-10 Levitation
The songs that they did play were extended some, but not to 9-10 minutes. I took video of "Feather" and it's around 6 and a half minutes. Yukimi wore a glow in the dark Snow White dress and clearly she is not human but instead dancer.
2/28 Warpaint @ Fais Do-Do, 4/10 St. Vincent @ The Cosmopolitan, 5/2 Desert Daze, 5/8-10 Levitation
Third time I've seen them. Great stuff.
Coachellas '08, '09, '10, '11, '12 (W1&2), '13 (W1&2)
^^^ THIS! i had so much fun at this set. so glad i decided to go!
wow wow wow! The Gobi tent owned Day 1 with Little Dragon, Ceu, and Whitest Boy Alive
I caught the last 2 songs and it was magical. CD purchased and playing right now. These guys are going to blow up hard.
I worked my way through the La Roux crowd in order to get a good spot for this. Glad I did as I was only a few people back from the stage. Also glad I decided to see them instead of LCD Soundsystem being that they were underwhelming the 2 times I've seen them.
Little Dragon was by far my favorite set on Friday.
Alright they were really good live. I wasn't able to see the entire set because I wanted to see Erol Alkan, but I will definitely be seeing them again as soon as possible. I don't see any U.S dates anytime soon though.
This show was great. She was amazing with gorillaz as well. Damon's a lucky bastard to get to kiss Yukimi on the cheek.
Little Dragon was one of my top 5 sets of the weekend. Great stuff. It was nice that the tent wasn't overcrowded for their set, too.
i caught them on friday and they weren't too bad. i think she has a cool voice and they band is good too.
My friends went to check out Vampire Weekend while I ditched them for this. I do not regret it one bit. This girl is awesome. I actually had a dream about her that night.
Little Dragon -> Fever Ray was the best back to back of the weekend for me.
the new version of Swimming was amazing.
Feather was mesmerizing, as always.

Superfan will be in front of the Fonda masturbating furiously to a photo of him taking a photo of a band. Set is from 8:05 to approximately 8:05:15. Guest list only.
Upcoming Shows: Stanton Warriors (3/20), George Clinton + P Funk (3/21) Coachella 2015 (WK1), Underworld (Hollywood Bowl), Basement Jaxx (Hollywood Bowl), David Gilmour (Wherever I need to go)
Yukimi posted a fun little picture blog about her Coachella weekend:
I watched the tail end of La Roux for a good spot and fell in love! What a great band live. So much energy! Definitely my favorite set of Friday.
I left LCD to catch Little Dragon's full set... It was soooooo worth it
