Wild Beasts Perform "Wanderlust" On 60-year-old, 7,866-Pipe Organ
By Zoe Camp on December 18, 2014 at 9:03 a.m. EST
Noisey and the technology corporation Philips approached Wild Beasts recently to film a performance of their Present Tense standout "Wanderlust" in London. The catch? Instead of a standard keyboard or synth, Tom Fleming would be playing on a 7,866-pipe organ. Out of use for nearly a decade, the Royal Festival Hall's massive, 60-year-old-instrument provides the main focus for the quartet's performance. Check it out below, via Noisey.

The cowboy motif in country music
January 5, 2014
It's time for a little respite from Simone Weil. So, let's talk about cowboys! Why not.
In a previous post from last year, we looked at the creativity of early country music, as discussed in Richard Peterson's fascinating study, Creating Country Music (University of Chicago Press, 1997). In short, the leading producers, talent scouts, promoters, and record executives — at the dawn of country music in the 1920's and 30's — hated country music! As Peterson put it, "In most instances they didn't like the music, didn't understand it, and had no respect for its audience." So they did not interfere, and pioneers like Jimmie Rodgers and Roy Acuff could develop their sound as they saw fit.
At the risk of over-romanticizing, it can indeed be said that this was the music of the rural Southern worker, who had migrated to cotton mills and other factories that sprouted across the South. Away from home, they longed for the music of their upbringing. A few upstart businessmen in Atlanta and elsewhere discovered that the ragtime, jazz, and blues from Tin Pan Alley (NYC) was not really what these workers wanted to hear. So they began recording some of the fiddlers and pickers that were popular within these communities, and — to their surprise — the records sold briskly! Country music, as a commercial enterprise, was born.
The other significant contribution came from AM radio stations, namely those with a clear-channel signal that would reach beyond the cities and far into the rural country. The most important and most famous is WSM in Nashville, which is still going strong. WSM had a little show called, The Grand Ole Opry, which was based upon a "hillbilly" comedy-and-song format that had become popular at a few other AM stations. In 1942, Roy Acuff created his own label in Nashville, which attracted other country artists who were being exploited elsewhere, many having traveled to NYC to get recorded. Acuff signed Hank Williams in 1946, who would take country music to new heights of success. At this time, Nashville was not the "hub" of country music. There was none. It could have just as easily been Atlanta or New Orleans, if not Chicago or New York! It was the combined success of the Opry and Acuff's record label that attracted other labels. Nashville quickly became synonymous with country music.
So, how do cowboys come into the picture?
In the early days, if you wanted to perform in a public venue, you would dress-up in your Sunday best. And, that is naturally what the earliest country performers did. Suit and tie — usually the only nice set of clothes they owned. However, the "hillbilly" image became popular, and most artists began to play the role — regardless of whether they were actually from the mountains or not! This dominated the country music image well into the 30's, and "hillbilly music" (not "country music") was the most common name for the genre.
But, the hillbilly image had limited appeal to a broader range of listeners. Even in the South, "hillbilly" was not necessarily a beloved epithet and could denote lazy or ignorant. Meanwhile in cinemas across the country, a string of "western" flicks were depicting the adventures and excitement of the cowboy's life. And long before this, in the 19th century, the folk stories of frontiersmen like Davy Crockett had captured the imagination of the people. The cowboy was a ready image for country artists looking for a new way to express themselves. In the 30's and 40's, Gene Autry became famous as "the singing cowboy" in a series of popular western films. The cowboy image quickly took off, with Hank Williams being a notable example.
The "cowboy" signifies courage and strength, combined with passion and self-sacrifice. It was very much a chivalrous image. It also signifies a free spirit, on the open range. Interestingly, this aspect of the cowboy image would be taken-up by the "trucker" image in the 1970's. Truckers became the "cowboys" on the open highways and "outlaws" if the situation demanded it! (See the movie, Convoy, for example, and most famously, the Bandit!)
So, there you have it. That is how the cowboy became the dominant image in country music and frequently a motif in the music's storytelling. Real cowboys, let it be known, were not known for writing songs or carrying a guitar on their saddle! But it has become ingrained in the imagination of Southern folkways, even if you live east of the Mississippi River (as I do) among cotton fields and tobacco farms, not open ranges for steering cattle. As someone who values imagination and folkways, I am fine with that.
And here is my favorite cowboy-themed song, "I Can Still Make Cheyenne," from George Strait:
This is just a perfectly crafted song. No frills. Just perfect.

Impersonal Beauty
December 31, 2013
Simone Weil is most known for her writings on suffering, namely the capacity of affliction to dehumanize and make a person a thing ("If anyone wants to make himself invisible, there is no surer way than to become poor.") Thus, our attention toward the unseen, as the Good Samaritan saw a human in the beaten thing on the side of the road, is the surest path toward rejecting the illusory imagination through which we secure ourselves in the world.
Yet, there is another path — the apprehension of beauty — and this is just as important for Weil's philosophy. Like affliction, genuine beauty draws us outside of ourselves (the false, illusory self) toward something which we cannot consume, cannot eat, to use Weil's favorite illustration. We must remain hungry in the face of beauty, or else the beauty is corrupted in our compulsive desire to possess. We must allow the beautiful to remain as it is, apart from us. This is also Weil's way of expressing pure friendship. We want to absorb the other into ourselves, destroying the other as such; friendship allows the other to exist fully, regardless of whether "I" exist — indeed, as if "I" do not exist.
None of this is actually possible — humanly possible. We are not actually able to love the poor, the despised, the ugly, the stupid. It is a miracle from beyond human possibility. It is grace. On this, both Weil and Barth are in agreement: love is not a possibility, love is a miracle.
The bad artist asserts herself in her art. Art is a means of self-expression. It exhibits the pathos of the individual. Good art — beautiful art — is a forgetting of oneself. In this forgetting, we find ourselves anew, but this cannot be our object — it is unknown, because it is given by grace. We cannot manufacture beauty. We do not create it; it creates us. The artist expresses beauty, not directly but indirectly. It is not possible for the artist to pursue beauty; she must be attentive in the void and let beauty find her. In this way, beauty is not personal expression but impersonal expression.
Rebecca Rozelle-Stone and Lucian Stone, in their wonderfully clear survey of Weil's philosophical theology, illuminate this point further:
To understand how a beautiful thing is impersonal, we must consider Weil's identification of five sub-traits of impersonality in aesthetics. First, there is duration. "One does not grow tired of beauty," whereas "one does grow tired of what is pleasing, of what only flatters the senses," Weil claims. The beautiful is something one can attend to for hours; anything that falls short of this (such as the statues in the Luxembourg, for her) is unendurable and demands either that we look away, or that we eliminate the offense. Second, there is purity: beauty does give a "pure pleasure," a pleasure absolutely distinct from the one that arises from and encourages consumption. This is why real beauty 'captivates the flesh" and stills the child in us "in order to obtain permission to pass right to the soul." So while the beautiful is a "carnal attraction," it "keeps us at a distance" and demands that we renounce our falsifying imaginations. Third, there is the element of infinity. That is, there can be no comparisons in the realm of absolute beauty; to think in terms of "better" or "worse" or any matter of degree suggests that the work is not truly beautiful, for the beautiful is the incarnation of God in matter. Fourth, there must be no element of flattery, for there can be no elevation of the ego in attending to the beautiful. Finally, as we have seen already, impersonality implies universality. …for Weil, the Gregorian chant epitomizes the beautiful, perhaps surprisingly because of its "share of monotony." This beautiful monotony, as opposed to a mechanical monotony of factory work or of the clock, finds its model in the "perfect regularity of the sky's revolutions that permits the rhythm of agricultural work, the only work that puts us directly in contact with the universe."
[Simone Weil and Theology (T&T Clark, 2013), pp. 146-147. The quotations are taken from Weil's Lectures on Philosophy, p. 184, and Gravity and Grace, pp. 148-149 and pp. 131-132]
In addition to Gregorian chant, Weil points to J. S. Bach, Romanesque architecture, Byzantine iconography, Sophocles' Antigone, Homer's Iliad, among other examples.
When she speaks of "impersonal" beauty, Weil can give the impression of something mundane or boring. It is almost as if the peculiar is lost amidst the universal. But in fact, according to Weil, the peculiar is lost when it is isolated from the universal. Evil isolates the particular from the universals of goodness, beauty, and truth. As such, it becomes mundane and boring, exhaustible as are all finite things. Here are the Stones once again, in one of my favorite passages:
Real goodness…is "an unfathomable marvel" that is too often desecrated at the hands of novelists and artists who render it cliché and portray evil as sensational and mysterious. We "envelop [the truth of the Good] in a fog in which, as in all fiction, values are reversed, so that evil is attractive and good is tedious," when in fact, "nothing is so beautiful and wonderful, nothing is so continually fresh and surprising, so full of sweet and perpetual ecstasy, as the good." This is because the forms and manifestations of baseness are finite, for they issue from the finite (i.e., from us). We cannot, as Weil has said, pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. So, the artist, if she is to create something that can be called "beautiful" or "good," must take on "the transparency of a window pane" to allow the light of the divine to shine through.
[Ibid., pp. 84-85. The quotations are from Weil's Science, Necessity, and the Love of God, p. 162, 160, and Waiting for God, p. 77]
Hopefully that should entice you to read more of Simone Weil. To be sure, I wrestle with Weil. She is not for everyone. She is probably a Gnostic. Her intensity is extreme. She is also the purest philosophical mind that I have ever read.
The anti-art of 20th century art
December 23, 2013
An alternative title to this post could be, "Why existentialism and postmodernism ruined everything," but that's a bit grandiose. This is from Frederick Beiser, an authority on German Idealism, talking about his book, Diotima's Children: German Aesthetic Rationalism from Leibniz to Lessing (Oxford, 2009):
The aporias of the present is that there really is no aesthetic criticism anymore, and that there are really no standards about art. Anything goes, and anything is good or excellent "in its own kind". We got here because some aestheticians and philosophers took the avant-garde too seriously, and held that even snow shovels, urinals and soup cans can be works of art. I think that the avant-garde was making all kinds of interesting and valid points; but one it was not making is that these kinds of things are works of art. They were not intended to be works of art but, for all kinds of complicated philosophical social and political reasons, works of anti-art. There really are standards of criticism, and there really are rules of art, even though people shudder at the very thought of them. You only have to listen to film critics and book critics to see that they apply all kinds of standards, like the need for verisimilitude, the need for unity in variety, for coherence, for capturing the interest of the reader. You only have to talk to artists to see that they work according to rules, and that they know all too well that they can employ only certain means to achieve the ends they want. The question is to spell out these standards, and to make clear these rules, and that means first knowing what an aesthetic standard and an aesthetic rule means. The whole issue has to be re-thought, and to re-think we have to go back more to the past, when there was a lot more thinking about these issues.
One of the reasons standards and rules have been so undermined is because of the doctrine, common since Kant, that taste is only a matter of subjective pleasure, and that it has nothing to do with the object itself. This Kantian doctrine, which appears perfectly explicitly in the first paragraph of the Kritik der Urteilskraft, has been decisive in turning people away from criticism because there is no need to look at the object itself, to look at its qualities, to determine what is good or bad. Kant wanted universal aesthetic judgments, of course, but he could hardly guarantee them because there was no reason one could give for them. There was nothing about the object itself that made it pleasant or unpleasant to look at. We might as well look at snow shovels and urinals.
The reason why I like Diotima's children — the aesthetic rationalists of the eighteenth century — is because they stress the importance about something in the object itself that makes it good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant to look at. They all defined aesthetic pleasure in terms of the perception of perfection, intuitio perfectionis, where perfection meant something like unity-in-multiplicity, a formal structural feature of an object, what we also call harmony or beauty. They did not deny that there is a subjective component to aesthetic experience in the feeling of pleasure; but they believed that there is also an objective component, that they judgment rests on a perception of this perfection in the object.
I think that there is something to this doctrine, and that we do well to revive it. Oddly, one of its tacit proponents, though explicit opponents, is Hume himself. When Hume insists that taste is a matter of delicacy, that it is a matter of having a sensitivity to features of an object itself, he is very close to the rationalist doctrine. Hume was really a covert objectivist (or partial one) about aesthetic pleasure because that pleasure had to be based on the sensitivity to features in the object. It was only having that sensitivity that allowed some people to be good critics. As soon as we explain what is involved in that sensitivity we get something along the lines of the rationalist's intuitio perfectionis.
This is part of a fascinating and wide-ranging interview with Beiser. I highly recommend reading the whole thing. If you are interested in this subject, Beiser expresses thoughts similar to Roger Scruton in his documentary on art for the BBC.
Note: The book, Diotima's Children, is not available from Amazon for some strange reason. In addition to Barnes & Noble, you can get it through the publisher, OUP.
Erotic Ascent in Plato's Symposium
December 21, 2013
I have thoroughly enjoyed Robin Waterfield's translation of Plato's Symposium (Oxford, 2009 [1994]). He has also translated Republic, Timaeus, Gorgias, Phaedrus, and others, plus works from Euripides, Aristotle, Herodotus, Plutarch, Plotinus, et alia. He conveys a charm and wit that I have not found in other translators — though I'll leave it to the experts in Attic Greek to judge — and his annotations are often humorous. His introductory essay to Symposium, which should be read only after reading the dialog itself, is a fine probing of the text: appropriately cautious yet confident in his vast knowledge of Plato's corpus.
Socrates' speech about ἔρως is a retelling of insights given to him by Diotima, a female philosopher and seer. The argument is full of twists and turns, not easy to reconstruct. Plato is figuring how ἔρως — érōs, trans. "love" — remains continuous throughout the person's ascent to the highest form of love, which is love of absolute beauty, not merely particular instances here below. We begin with the ἔρως felt toward a particular object of our desires, as in our desire for sexual consummation with a beautiful person. There is a lack within ourselves, which is why Love cannot be identified with the absolute (or God) according to Plato — since God does not lack anything. The precise nature of this lack is a bit obscure. Love (ἔρως) is not pursuing beauty for the sake of beauty per se but for the sake of happiness, which Plato elsewhere (Republic most famously) connects with absolute Goodness. Yet, what makes us happy? In Symposium, Plato connects our ἔρως with our desire for immortality, which compels us to procreate and thereby extend ourselves. Likewise, we want to "possess" the objects of our desire because we want the true object — happiness — to endure forever. So, this is why philosophy is better than sex (!) because we can "procreate" that which never perishes: virtue or goodness. Thus, Socrates rejects the sexual advances of his attractive male students, because he wants to procreate wisdom with them, thereby bringing them to a higher stage of eternal beatitude.
The "erotic" is never denigrated. Sexual desire and its consummation participate in the beauty that leads us to absolute beauty or goodness. The erotic impulse is not to be rejected or repressed but transferred to a greater and more expansive apprehension of beauty. At least, that is how Waterfield interprets it:
The temptation to talk about the ascent in terms of sublimation of erotic impulses has proved too strong for some post-Freudian commentators, but it is entirely inappropriate. Diotima is not talking about the unconscious repression of instinctive energy, but the conscious transcendence of it. Whatever precisely Freud meant by the term 'sublimation' (he changed his mind a number of times about it), it seems to involve a blockage of the erotic impulse; in Diotima's speech, on the other hand, érōs is never blocked, even though it may be transferred on to different objects. Even here there is a difference between Plato and Freud: the new objects of érōs in Freudian sublimation are less satisfactory than the objects the person really desires; for Diotima, however, the further up the ladder of love one ascends, the more fulfilling the objects are. Finally, although it is clear that the passion of érōs is preserved throughout the ascent, it is not clear that the sexual element is, except as a metaphor (as in Eryximachus' speech); for Freud, however, sublimated desires remained essentially sexual. [p. xxxi]
So, the "sexual element" is important at the early stages of our apprehension of beauty and desire for happiness, though it is not clear whether this persists — once our "eros" is directed toward the purer and enduring beauty of absolute goodness. Given that Plato elsewhere conceives of material reality as a lower "impression" of the eternal "forms," it seems that Plato's ideal is a transcendence beyond all sexual desire, even if he does not denigrate its importance in one's ascent. The problem with an "erotic impulse" that never matures, remaining at the lower level of particular goods, is that it wants to unite with transience, instead of using this impulse to lead beyond transience.

Bach's Ricercare à 6
October 27, 2013
I am blessed to attend an evangelical church which still has an organ and professional organist — an increasing rarity in these barbaric days. For those who are not so fortunate, you should at least compensate by joyfully attuning your ears to this wonderful piece by Bach:
This is from Bach's Musikalisches Opfer (BWV 1079), which together with his Die Kunst der Fuge (BWV 1080) is among his most celebrated and complex works. You can acquire both in this two-disc set.
Roger Scruton on postmodernism
October 1, 2013
This is a delightful and wide-ranging discussion with Roger Scruton on the concept of human rights, tolerance, art/aesthetics, gender theory, and more:
Scruton is the foremost public intellectual within the Burkean school of conservatism. I have previously linked his documentary on art for the BBC, as well as Edward Feser's summary of Scruton's definition of sentimentality.
Also, you can watch Terry Eagleton in conversation with Roger Scruton. Needless to say, I am a bit incredulous about Eagleton's rosy picture of leftist cultural values, but he's an articulate defender of his cause, which has long won.
The torment of beauty (Simone Weil)
September 8, 2013
Simone Weil:
Beauty is the supreme mystery in this world. It is a brilliance that attracts attention but gives it no motive to stay. Beauty is always promising and never gives anything; it creates a hunger but has in it no food for the part of the soul that tries here below to be satisfied; it has food only for the part of the soul that contemplates. It creates desire, and it makes it clearly felt that there is nothing in it [beauty] to be desired, because one insists above all that nothing about it change. If one does not seek out measures by which to escape from the delicious torment inflicted by it, desire is little by little transformed into love, and a seed of the faculty of disinterested and pure attention is created.
(Écrits de Londres et dernières lettres, Paris: Gallimard, 1957, p. 37; translation by Rush Rhees, in Discussions of Simone Weil, p. 32)
That is a perfect encapsulation of Weil's philosophy, which is always theology as well.
The creative freedom of early country music
July 29, 2013
I am currently reading Richard Peterson's Creating Country Music (University of Chicago Press, 1997). Peterson is a long-time professor of sociology at Vanderbilt, and this is the fruit of decades of archival research and interviews. His focus is on the critical formative period from 1923, when the first country record was pressed in Atlanta, to 1953 when Hank Williams died at the age of 29.
One of the most striking features of this thirty year period, albeit not too surprising, is how country music's birth depended upon the ambitions of businessmen who thoroughly disliked country music (termed "hillbilly music" at the time), including Southern businessmen in cities like Atlanta who were intent on distancing themselves from their rustic past and embracing the urbane sophistication of Northern cities. But, country music sold, to the dismay of record executives, and the prejudice would continue for a long time. The most important figure at the birth of country music, as a commercial enterprise, was Polk Brockman of Atlanta. He hated country music, but he could profit from it.
However, this disdain for country music actually served to benefit its development as a creative expression of rustic scenes, its joys and sorrows, and with its hard edges. From Jimmie Rodgers to Hank Williams, you have yodels and nasally voices that grated the sophisticated, classically-attuned ear. Here is Peterson discussing the A&R men (the scouts and promoters for the record companies):
…this first generation of A&R men did not try to impose their own aesthetic standards, either during the recording process or in the process of selecting which of the cuts to release. It is not that they were enlightened or that they were lazy. Their reason for not interfering was much more basic. In most instances they didn't like the music, didn't understand it, and had no respect for its audience. Ralph Peer, for example, was circumspect in public while he was active, but in later life he voiced great contempt for the blues and country artists he recorded and for the music they produced. …In effect then, because of the snobbish attitudes of A&R men like Peer and others, Jimmie Rodgers and the generation of artists who began to record in the 1920's had great artistic freedom, greater freedom, in fact, than has been enjoyed by any later generation of beginners in country music.
[Creating Country Music, pp. 46-47]
Speaking of Jimmie Rodgers, here is a great recording of him from 1930 by Columbia Pictures:
Schweitzer on Bach as "objective art"
April 6, 2013
This is from Albert Schweitzer's famous two-volume study of J. S. Bach, which lead the Bach renaissance of the early 20th century:
Some artists are subjective, some objective. The art of the former has its source in their personality; their work is almost independent of the epoch in which they live. A law unto themselves, they place themselves in opposition to their epoch and originate new forms for the expression of their ideas. Of this type was Richard Wagner.
Bach belongs to the order of objective artists. These are wholly of their own time, and work only with the forms and the ideas that their time proffers them. They exercise no criticism upon the media of artistic expression that they find lying ready to their hand, and feel no inner compulsion to open out new paths. Their art not coming solely from the stimulus of their outer experience, we need not seek the roots of their work in the fortunes of its creator. In them the artistic personality exists independently of the human, the latter remaining in the background as if it were something almost accidental. ….
The art of the objective artist is not impersonal, but superpersonal. It is as if he felt only one impulse, — to express again what he already finds in existence, but to express it definitively, in unique perfection. It is not he who lives, — it is the spirit of the time that lives in him. All the artistic endeavours, desires, creations, aspirations and errors of his own and of previous generations are concentrated and worked out to their conclusion in him. …
Whatever path we may traverse through the poetry and the music of the Middle Ages, we are always led to him.
The grandest creations of the chorale from the twelfth to the eighteenth century adorn his cantatas and Passions. Handel and the others make no use of the superb treasures of chorale-melody. They want to be free of the past. Bach feels otherwise; he makes the chorale the foundation of his work. …
This genius was not an individual, but a collective soul. Centuries and generations have laboured at this work, before the grandeur of which we halt in veneration.
Albert Schweitzer, J. S. Bach, vol. 1, trans. Ernest Newman (London: Breitkopf and Hartel, 1911), 1-4.
Schleiermacher series

3. More Than a Feeling: The Hypostatic Union
4. More Than a Feeling: Restatement
5. More Than a Feeling: Response
6. More Than a Feeling: The Death of God?
I have yet to read every post, but it looks like a great introduction to Schleiermacher, with whom every responsible theologian is required to be familiar.

Let's get this out of the way upfront: the It Works Ultimate Body Applicators (aka the It Works Body Wraps) are not the typical body wraps that you are used to seeing. They do not get rid of water weight, only to have you looking the same way you originally did the second you drink a glass of water. They are not sweat wraps. You don't have to get wrapped head to toe like a mummy, and you certainly don't have to cover yourself in mud like a farm animal. LOL. Those are the wraps of old.
Welcome to 2015.
We've personally used the It Works Body Wraps and our results have lasted, as have thousands of clients… from stylists and students to nurses and homemakers. Everyone wants to feel and look beautiful, which is why the wraps fit so perfectly into the business model of a salon. You have someone already walking through the front door wanting to look better, and along with your already existing services, offering them a wrap at the same time kills two birds with one stone. And let's face it, fast and convenient is how we want everything.
Well… almost everything
Point is, I've met lots of customers who tell me that they have spent hundreds of dollars on spa visits and did not get the results that they've seen with that crazy wrap thing. You know what that tells us? That tells us that salon owners could be making a lot of money selling the It Works Body Wraps. We all like money, and your customers all want to look good. Why in the world wouldn't you sell it?
We have no trained background in the beauty industry and we are very successful thanks to It Works Global. By very successful, we mean we run this business , part-time. This was all because we wanted to look good in a beech outfits, tried the product and loved it. We immediately saw how easy it was to sell and contacted our distributor to sign up. Since then, We've been making money and helping people look their best.
Let's get creative with this. Would you be curious to find out more if a local salon offered something called "The Skinny Cut"?
Of course you would. Why? Because well, what the hell is it? LOL. Glad you asked!
Have your client sit down in your chair to get their hair cut and give them a wrap to wear at the same time. In as little as 45 minutes – which in some instances is faster than some haircuts – your client just tightened, toned and firmed whatever part of their body they just stuck a wrap on. Did they also have cellulite? Well they just reduced the appearance of that too. All while you're doing your thing, snipping away.
What is THIS, you say? It's amazing is what it is. It's guaranteed money, is what it is.
We'll be completely honest with you here when we say that we WISH we owned some sort of a salon before finding these wraps. Don't get us wrong, we have done extremely well WITHOUT one, but knowing the potential in having a salon or stylist sign up as a distributor for these wraps… you are literally sitting on a goldmine. Some of the most successful distributors in this company are in the salon industry; one of which makes 6 figures now. A MONTH. All from just $200 investment.
There are salons all over the country earning money from their COMPETITORS. Ah… now that just got your attention didn't it Hehe, we won't bore you with those details… at least not on here. But feel free to email us so we can tell you how it's actually done.

Frontline weight question- please help!
I am having a major flea emergency!
I ordered Frontline, but it still isn't here yet. My neighbor offered her dog's dose since her dog is allergic to it, but it is for 44-88 lb dogs. My dog weighs 30.
She said it would be ok if I used it, but didn't use the full dose.
I called Frontline to check, they were not much use, since they only said if I used it it wasn't guaranteed anymore since it was given to me and not purchased by me (???)
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do?
Thank you!
I think if your flea issue is as bad as you say, you should consult with your vet. Your situation could get worse without a proper battle plan.
I may be wrong, but I believe that the whole pill needs to be given to work effectively. Cutting it decreases what needs to be done (reason for weight/pills/size dogs).
Wait for your Frontline to come, it is never a good idea to give a treatment not the correct dose, especially since you will prbably dose your pup as soon as you get your treatment in the mail. You may want to treat the yard with Diatomaceous Earth (not the kind you get at the pool supply store - go to your local garden supply store. Home Depot or Orchard wil not help. Go get a big bag, and a face mask. Keep the dogs inside or away from the area you are treating, just so they dont inhale the stuff. Apply as directed on the bag. This should help until your treatment gets delivered
Luckily, Frontline is one of the only meds that you can actually break down yourself. Let me explain. To save money on it, I buy the largest application of Frontline, which is for dogs over 100 pounds. My dogs weigh about 5 pounds. On every box of Frontline it clearly states the correct dosage for that weight range. In my case, for my small dogs, the correct dosage is .63 ml. So, I buy the large dog size, put the Frontline in another container, and I draw up .63 ml in a syringe and apply only that much to my dogs. (I hope I am being clear.)
So, in your case, you need to go to Frontline's website or drop by a Vet's office and get the correct amount for your 30 lb dog, and then you can apply the correct amount. You can save what is left over for later use; but be sure to use a dark, glass container, as Frontline is affected by direct light. (Small brown bottles work good, and most Vet's sell these for about $1.00.)
I've never seen an allergic reaction to REAL Frontline in 12 years of vet practice (not to say it CAN'T happen, just never seen it), which makes me wonder where the neighbor got hers. The company will not guarantee any product that is not purchased from your veterinarian, so if your dog has an allergic reaction also, they will not help cover your costs of treatment, which can be significant if your dog is having a severe reaction.
I also split my Frontline Plus for my smaller dogs.
In the meantime, I agree with SG. Your vet is best qualified to make a complete plan of attack for a major flea infestation, assuming you have a good vet (some are better than others with skin issues).
You have to take a multi-faceted approach to flea infestations. Step one is to prevent fleas from biting your dog using a safe and effective product such as Frontline or Advantage. Step 2 is making sure you control the population of fleas, which is extremely important because you only see adult fleas, which comprise only 5% of your total flea problem. The other 95% are immature stages. Frontline Plus (not just regular TopSpot, but the Plus) has an insect growth regulator that prevent flea eggs from hatching and larvae of certain stages from continuing to develop. Step 3 is to control the environment, which can be accomplished by use of indoor foggers or sprays, outdoor sprays, vacuuming daily and throwing away the bag, diatomaceous earth, etc. Step 4 is treating any secondary skin issues such as infection or itchiness, which may require antibiotics and/or steroids.
Thank you SO MUCH everyone.
Whiskeyriver and Meghane, you were especially helpful. My neighbor said her vet said splitting Frontline was possible, I just wasn't sure how. I've controlled the fleas big time!!! I gave him a flea bath and completely cleaned the house TOP to bottom and Hepa vacuumed...then I sprayed Zodiac upholstery spray on his bed and my only area rug (that he lays on constantly!!!) I washed and bleached my Ikea slipcovers (which I love btw!!) I've only picked 2 fleas off him in 2 days, and I've been checking him like a crazy lady. He is SO much happier.I haven't split the Frontline, but I will...He needs a box lower than the one I have. The one I have (dogs 45lbs-88lbs) it is 2.69 ml per vile, does anyone know what the 22-44lb vile is in fluid ounces or ml? I guess that is what I need to find out next to try and do the math equasion...Thank god my neighbor is a math professor at Harvard, I'll have the exact formula I am sure!
Thanks again all!

Help ! Tomato and pepper starts
This is my first time trying to start tomatoes and peppers from seed. They germinate well in one of those little plastic green houses with the dome but when the lid is removed they shrivel up and die within a few days. As these are sets are not available here really want to get them to transplant stage. Can anyone help?
We need more details in order to help you. Are you starting them indoors? Are you using bottom heat? Starting mix? Peat pots or pellets? Do you have a light set-up? Have you read the FAQs for growing from seed? Can you post photos(not necessary but helpful)?
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing from seed FAQs
Agree that much more info is needed. However based on the info so far the most likely explanation is damping-off. The primary cause is too wet and too warm growing conditions.
Here is a link that might be useful: Damp-off FAQ
Take the dome off after you get sprouts. Remember, moist, not wet ... use a small fan on low to help harden your plants ...

Two gay males to get married on 2014 Rose Parade float
The 2014 Rose Parade will feature two gay males Aubrey Loots and Danny Leclair getting married on one of the floats. AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) is the sponsor of this gay marriage Rose Parade float. Last year, there was a marriage between a man and a woman on one of the Rose Parade floats. But traditional marriage is so 2013. You can't even get away from progressive liberal indoctrination at a family event like the Rose Parade anymore.
|Two gay males to get married on 2014 Rose Parade float
Aubrey Loots and Danny Leclair, a gay male couple from Los Angeles together over a decade, will get married during the 125th Rose Parade® on AHF's third annual float entry.
AHF float invokes the 2014 theme: 'Dreams Come True,' with Loots and Leclair 'Living the Dream' as they legally marry and proclaim with AHF that 'Love is the Best Protection,' recognizing the role marriage can play in reducing HIV infections among gay men.
http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2013/12/17/two-gay-males-to-get-married-on-2014-rose-parade-float/Latest Ramblings
Playing off the Tournament's 2014 theme of 'Dreams Come True,' Aubrey Loots, 42, and Danny Leclair, 45, a gay male couple from Los Angeles together over a decade, will be 'Living the Dream' as they legally marry on New Year's Day during the historic parade. AHF's 'Living the Dream' float will highlight the fact that 'Love is the Best Protection.'
Loots, originally from South Africa, and Leclair, from Canada, together own Studio DNA Salons, a chain of three successful L.A. area hair salons. Loots also shares the distinction of being recognized as a Wella Top Artist, who serves celebrity and civilian clients alike while his soon to be husband manages the day to day operations.

musa sikkemensis seeds
nyssaman(Z6 ON)October 5, 2007
I'm looking for a few seeds of these if any of the first generation owners have had a flowering banana
Not gonna find seeds from anyone growing it unless they took the time to pollinate it, and just happen to have two blooming stems at the same time to fertilize female flower. Try one of the big companies in a few weeks and you should get some fresh seed(that time of year). The hyrid sikkimensis' seem a little easier to sprout also, and grow faster so you might want to give one of them a try. Good Luck.

- Endocrine disruption
Plasma vitellogenin (VTG) concentrations and the presence of the ovo-testis (intersex) condition have been recorded in male flounder (Platichthys flesus) captured from several United Kingdom (UK) estuaries since 1996 as part of the endocrine disruption in the Marine Environment (EDMAR) project and earlier programs. It has been confirmed that plasma VTG concentrations in male flounder have remained elevated in several UK estuaries (e.g., Tees, Mersey, and Tyne) throughout the period covered by this study. However, the time-series data indicate that plasma VTG, a measure of environmental estrogen contamination, has decreased in fish captured from several estuaries, especially those of the Tyne and Mersey. Shorter time-series data sets from the Forth and Clyde estuaries also suggest a decrease in estrogen contamination at these sites. Trends associated with specific point sources of estrogenic contamination show site-specific patterns. For instance, plasma VTG levels in male flounder captured near the Howdon sewage treatment outfall (Tyne) have shown a steady decline to near baseline levels in 2001, while the plasma of male fish captured at a site adjacent to the Dabholm Gut discharge in the Tees estuary have shown little evidence of a sustained decline. The occurrence of the intersex condition was detected at a low but consistent prevalence through the study period, with the majority of cases recorded in fish captured from the Tyne and Mersey estuaries. The data set does not allow conclusions to be drawn about any temporal trends associated with this condition. The significance of the findings and possible mitigating influences are discussed in terms of the impacts on wild fish and the role of effluent treatment in reducing these.

In a Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Western Divison battle for what turned out to be third place in the standings, Cloud County guard Richard Carter was the difference.
Algie Key doesn't quite know what caused the deep muscle bruise in his right shoulder.
After Wednesday night's 65-58 loss to Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Western Division foe Pratt, the Barton women's basketball team is focusing on improving as a team.
Fresh off a weekend five-game sweep, the Barton Community College baseball team is ranked No. 16 in the first regular season NJCAA Division I national poll recently released.
PRATT - It is only the fifth time that the Barton Community College women's basketball team has lost to Pratt Lady Beavers in 69 meetings.
PRATT - It took two overtime periods, but the Barton Community College men's basketball team finished off Pratt on Wednesday night, 91-84.
This is no time to stumble.
With two games remaining in the regular season, the Barton Community College women's basketball team is determined to finish strong.
With a five-game sweep this past weekend, the Barton Community College baseball team is off to a 12-1 start, their best start since the 2005-06 season when they started 7-1.
Barton Community College's one-two combination of Algie Key and Dwayne Brunson teamed up to serve the knockout punch to Colby Saturday night.

Ahmad Walker established himself as one of the top players in the Jayhawk West during a terrific sophomore season. The coaches in the conference felt he was the best, selecting the Barton Community College guard as the Most Valuable Player in the conference this season.
A pair of standout seasons ended with a second team All Jayhawk West selection for Phikala Anthony. The Memphis sophomore just missed a first team selection as the highest vote total on the second team. She was the lone Barton Community College Cougars to earn recognition.
The last out of an inning is often times the toughest out. The Barton Community College softball team experienced that Saturday in a doubleheader loss to Dodge City.

'American Idol' Winner Phillip Phillips Performs for The Dalai Lama (Video)
The season 11 champ joined Dave Matthews, Cyndi Lauper, David Crosby and others at the One World concert honoring the Tibetan leader.
Hello Dalai!
American Idol season 11 winner Phillip Phillips joined a diverse cross section of musicians honoring Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama at the One World concert held in New York on Tuesday night.
PHOTOS: 'American Idol' Live: The 2012 Tour In Pictures
The all-star lineup, which included Phillips' personal idol Dave Matthews, was held at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y. The event also featured Cyndi Lauper, David Crosby, and Roberta Flack and was broadcast live on AXS TV.
Phillips performed his hit "Home" and was met by screaming fans.
"I just want to say it's an honor to be here for such a great cause bringing us all here together," he said of the event honoring Tibet's spiritual leader.
Portions of the proceeds from Tuesday night's show will go toward a scholarship in Bassel Shahade's name. Shahade was a Syracuse University graduate student who was killed in Syria earlier this year while filming a documentary about violence.

This day charter went well as the boat is in fine shape and Chris and his crew were very good! I would highly recommend the 40' Sunseeker named "Clear Sky". My wife and I charter powerboats all over the world and this measured up!
Myself and 20 colleagues joined the Sunset Cruise and what a great time we had! The BoatCharterSamui team really helped to ensure everyone had a good time, they helped us load up the boat and even brought back what was left over, to our workplace the following day, really good service. The boat was big enough to cater for our...
Fantastic day spent on board this boat.....a brilliant time had by all the ladies!! Excellent food & drinks served by friendly crew........ the doughnut rides were great fun too! Would recommend the day cruise, and would love the opportunity to do it again :) Thanks guys.
A memorable day for the entire family. From beginning to end we were well taken care of. The boat was beautiful and the crew were fun and attentive. Our kids both tried Snookah diving, which is scuba diving with the oxygen tank floating in a boat above you and the regulators hanging from the boat. It allowed them to dive...
What a great souvenir. Great atmosphere with the best staff ever. We can not wait to go back again for an other day of beauty.
Can't think of a better way to spend 4 hours, beautiful boat, great attentive crew and amazing scenery, just lie back, have your drinks bought to you, listen to some cool tunes and watch the beautiful sunset or try jumping of the roof of the boat or get towed around on a rubber ring by the dingy. Great day!
Yesterday was honestly THE single most amazing, most incredible, most exceptional day of my entire life! As I sit here I literally don't have words, like im dumbstruck at how phenomenal our experience was!
The best adventures are the ones where you start off not having any idea what so ever of what is going to happen. Yesterday was one...
Great staff very attentive the evening was enjoyed by all the family young and old will be going again once my parents come to visit again next year cheers
The crew takes great care of everyone, they cook you fresh fish, chicken all various dishes, we took the day cruise and loved it so much we went back 3 days later and booked the sunset cruise. Would recommend Boat charter Samui to anyone. 5*****
An amazing experience and very good value for money . The guides, Scott and Ohm were amazingly friendly, understanding and caring. A memorable trip indeed! Would love to do it again !

Trying to build a simple 1-1 with XMPP protocol like on facebook ( offline, online and 1-1 with buddy list )
There are several xmpp ruby library's available on github but its not a easy choose between them, every xmpp rails solution I looked at is outdated.
A few questions:
- Is xmpp for ruby on rails the way to go for building a facebook like 1-1 IM? ( have looked in websockets privatepub, juggernaut(rip)) all lack somewhere, nothing seems to beat the XMPP protocol
- Whats the best XMPP gem for connecting rails with XMPP server @ 2012? many of them seem outdated, is there any project that is in use -now- and is not updated for a while but is solid enough to use on a project?

Brief Synopsis
The author explores the centrality of Human Intelligence in meeting the needs of the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense, and the whole of government. Such intelligence is essential to create a national security strategy, to define whole of government policies, to acquire the right capabilities at the right price in time to be useful, and to conduct local and global operations. He outlines 15 distinct types of HUMINT, four of which are classified (defensive and offensive counterintelligence, clandestine operations, and covert action), with the other 11 being predominantly unclassified. The author offers the U.S. Army an orientation to a world in which thinkers displace shooters as the center of gravity for planning, programming, and budgeting, as well as the proper structuring of mission mandates, force structures, and tactics and techniques to be used in any given mission area.

by me.
I have rolled a Klingon. They are incomplete compared to the federation, but that is why Cryptic is adding more stuff to them. Sure, right now the STF, Fleet actions, and exploration is all they can add, since it is in game already. The episodic stuff takes time to do right, unless you want a copy/paste of all the fed missions.
Your entire complaint is that they aren't working exclusively on Klingon content right now, and that the entire faction isn't fixed to how you want it right now. Being upset is one thing, but being angry that Cryptic does not meet your unreasonable expectations within an unreasonable time frame is just foolish and unrealistic. It is also unrealistic to think that Cryptic would or even should cater to one faction just because they don't have all the same stuff the other faction does.
In short, Either you want stuff now, or you want it done well and done right. You can't have it both ways, Period.
