How economies work – and don't
one of many words I coined over 20 years ago: geoism, geonomics, geonomy, geocracy, etc – neologisms that later others came up with, too. CNBC once had a Geonomics Show, and Middlebury College has a Geonomics Institute. If "economy" is literally "management of the household", then geonomy is "management of the planet". The kind of management I had in mind is not what CNBC was thinking – top-down. My geonomics is not hands-on, interfering, but hands-off, organic. It'd strive to align policy with natural processes, similar to what holistic healing does in medicine, what organic farming does in agriculture. Geonomics attends to two key components: One, the crucial stuff to track is fat — or profit, especially profits without production, such as rent, or all the money we spend on the nature we use. Society's surplus is the sine qua non for growth, needed to counter death – not merely more, but sustainable development, more from less. Two, the basic process to respect is the feedback loop. These let nature maintain balance automatically and could do the same for markets, if we let them. Letting them would turn our economies, now our masters, into a geonomy, our servant, providing us with prosperity, eco-librium (to coin a term) and leisure, time off — a hostile environment for economan but a cradle for a loving and creative humanity.
the study of the money we spend on the nature we use. When we pay that money to private owners, we reward both speculation and over-extraction. Robert Kiyosaki's bestseller, Rich Dad's Prophecy, says, "One of the reasons McDonald's is such a rich company is not because it sells a lot of burgers but because it owns the land at some of the best intersections in the world. The main reason Kim and I invest in such properties is to own the land at the corner of the intersection. (p 200) My real estate advisor states that the rich either made their money in real estate or hold their money in real estate." (p 141, via Greg Young) When government recovers the rents for natural advantages for everyone, it can save citizens millions. Ben Sevack, Montreal steel manufacturer, tells us (August 12) that Alberta, by leasing oil & gas fields, recovers enough revenue to be the only province in Canada to get by without a sales tax and to levy a flat provincial income tax. While running for re-election, provincial Premier Ralph Klein proposes to abolish their income tax and promises to eliminate medical insurance premiums and use resource revenue to pay for all medical expense for seniors. After all this planned tax-cutting and greater expense, they still expect a large budget surplus. Even places without oil and gas have high site values in their downtowns, and high values in their utility franchises. Recover the values of locations and privileges, displace the harmful taxes on sales, salaries, and structures, then use the revenue to fund basic government and pay residents a dividend, and you have geonomics in action.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
a discipline that, compared to economics, is as obscure as Warren Buffett's investment strategy, compared to conventional investment theory, about which Buffett said, "You couldn't advance in a finance department in this country unless you taught that the world was flat." (The New York Times, Oct 29). The writer wondered, "But why? If it works, why don't more investors use it?" Good question. Geonomics works, too. Every place that has used it has prospered while conserving resources. Yet it remains off the radar of many wanna-be reformers. Gradually, tho', that's changing. More are becoming aware of what geonomics studies – all the money we spend on the nature we use. Geonomics (1) as an alternative worldview to the anthropocentric, sees human economies as part of the embracing ecosystem with natural feedback loops seeking balance in both systems. (2) As an alternative to worker vs. investor, it sees our need for sites and resources making those who own land into landlords. (3)As an alternative to economics, it tracks the trillions of "rent" as it drives the "housing" bubble and all other indicators. And (4) as an alternative to left or right, it suggests we not tax ourselves then subsidize our favorites but recover and share society's surplus, paying in land dues and getting back "rent" dividends, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Letting rent go to the wrong pockets wreaks havoc, while redirecting it to everyone would solve our economic ills and the ills downstream from them. People must learn to stop whining so much and feel enough self-esteem to demand a fair share of rent, society's surplus, the commonwealth.
a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
what you do when you see economies as part of the ecosystem, following feedback loops and storing up energy. Surplus energy – fat or profit – enables us to produce and reproduce. To recycle society's surplus, the commonwealth, geonomics would replace taxes with land dues (charged to users of sites and resources, in-cluding the EM spectrum, and extra to polluters), and replace subsidies with rent dividends to citizens (a la Alaska's oil dividend). Without taxes and subsidies to distort them, prices become precise, reflect accurately our costs and values; then, motivated by no more than the bottom line, both producers and consumers make sustainable choices. While no place uses geonomics in its entirety, some places use parts of it, most notably a shift of the property tax off buildings, onto locations. Shifting the property tax drives efficient use of land, in-fills cities, improves the housing stock, makes homes affordable, engenders jobs and investment opportunities, lowers crime, raises civic participation, etc – overall it makes cities more livable. Geonomics – a way to share the bounty of nature and society – is something we can work for locally, globally, and in between.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old log-gers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.
a study of a phenomenon David Ricardo noted going on two centuries ago. When wine grapes rise to $10,000 a ton from the very best land (last year, cabernet sauvignon commanded an average of $4,021 a ton in the Napa Valley), then vineyard prices soar from $18,000 an acre in the 1980′s to $100,000 an acre five years ago and now for a top pedigree up to $300,000 an acre (The New York Times, April 9, via Wyn Achenbaum). Pricey land does not make wine pricey; spendy wine makes land spendy. While vintners make their wine tasty, nature and society in general – not any lone owner – make land desireable. Steve Kerch of CBS's MarketWatch (April 5) notes that much of what a home sells for on the open market is a reflection of intangible factors such as what school district the house sits in. The price the builder has to pay for the land also tends to be driven by the same intangibles. Because the value of land comes from society, and because one's use excludes the rest of society, each user owes all others compensation, and is owed compensation by everyone else. Sharing land's value, instead of taxing one's efforts, is the policy of geonomics.
a neologism for sharing "rent" or "social surplus" – the money we spend on the nature we use. When we buy land, such as the land beneath a home, we typically pay the wrong person – the homeowner. Instead, since land cost us nothing to make and is the common heritage of us all, rather than pay the owner, we should pay ourselves, our neighbors, our community. That is, we should all pay land dues to the public treasury, then our government would pay us land dividends from this collected revenue. It's similar to the Alaska oil dividend, almost $2,000 last year. Indeed, the annual rental value of land, oil, all other natural resources, including the broadcast spectrum and other government-granted permits such as corporate charters, totals several trillion dollars each year. It's so much that some could be spent on basic social services, the rest parceled out as a dividend, as Tom Paine suggested, and taxes (except any on natural rents) could be abolished, as Thomas Jefferson suggested. Were we sharing Earth by sharing her worth, territorial disputes would be fewer, less intense, and more resolvable.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 09, 2012
Sensarium has refined its direction and will now operate like a television network. By utilizing its video wall technology in public venues, creative content can now be seen by the public and enjoyed in high definition. This is only the beginning for the fledgling network, which will make good use of the growing availability of high speed internet access in public venues across the United States and beyond.
"When Barry Cohen of Oliveras Coffee and Juice Bar (one of Sensarium's public venues) related how his customers were reacting to the display, it completely reoriented my thinking," says John Graffio, Executive Producer of Sensarium.TV. "Barry told me people would sit and watch the display for almost an hour, which seemed to me like they were in fact watching a television show. If that was the case, then maybe we were telecasting shows more than we were functioning as an art gallery," said Graffio.
In order for Sensarium to embrace the television broadcast model, the Sensarium.TV domain was activated and the website was redesigned to embrace the broadcast concept. Sensarium's management observed that people watch television far more often than they visit an art gallery. If the public is going to enjoy and embrace creative talent, it should come through a medium that is comfortable and familiar.

Wildwood Beach House Rentals(10)
10 Results
Recent Wildwood Reviews
Very neat and well kept beach house.
Very comfortable and well kept property inside. Could use privacy blinds in the common areas of the house. Could use upgrade in cooking utensils, pots and pans. A full refridgerator would be a plus for stays 7 days and more and for a full family (4), a must. Exterior back yard very inviting and spacious. Upgrade in grill probably due. The available freezer and wine cooler was a real plus. Good location and appeared as advertised. Owner always responsive to questions.
Very Nice!
Better than expected! We spent 2 weeks in this house during the heat wave and were very comfortable. We were 5 adults and 2 small boys. We used the sun porch with the futon as a 4th bedroom. The best feature is the backyard, very tastefully decorated, private, fenced in and with a pool that we all enjoyed. We toasted marshmallows around the fire pit and enjoyed drinks by the Tiki bar. The outdoor shower was a big plus with hot and cold water. Overall the house was very clean and well maintained and decorated with a seashore theme inside and outside. The only negative was the house did not have one closet. There were a few hooks but no place to hang slacks, dresses, etc. or for luggage. I would definitely recommend this house for a multi-generation family with young children or two families wanting to vacation together.

Pics From My First Garden + What I Learned
How do I get all of these tasty vegetables???
I've come to this site a lot this year, but I only made a couple of posts. So here's a big one to make up for it.
The grass in my backyard was full of weeds, so I tore it out with a Bobcat and replaced it with top soil from Spruce Grove.
Then I turned it into a garden.
For the record, I live in Edmonton, where it is freezing cold & snowing most of the year. It snows from October until April. And then the snow melts, and it usually snows again in May. We have cold days in June. Then it gets sunny for a few months. And by the end of August, it gets cold again.
I had gardens before, but they were small and didn't work out well. But this one did, thank God.
I learned a lot. Most plants are tough. But weeds are tougher. And pepper plants are always angry. There are bugs everywhere. Some of them bite. The bees are giant. Each plant has its own annoying pest. Plants will grow to fill up every space they can, especially tomatoes. Some plants sit there for a while until they decide to grow, and then they take off. Above all, be patient.
I fertilize with Miracle Grow and Daniel's (at the recommendation of the local greenhouse).
On May 15, I bought a bunch of plants from the local greenhouse, planted them, and used the pots to start a whole bunch more plants from seeds.
When the cucurbits (I learned that word here!) wouldn't grow and started to die, I planted some more around June 15.
Then a few weeks later, everything took off.
I found a few cut worms, which didn't cause any damage. They were easy to find because the ants were carrying them back to the nest for torture. There are ants everywhere, but they don't seem to be causing any damages.
I found some green caterpillars, which have made a few holes in the broccoli & sunflowers. I also found a spiky, furry, orange & green caterpillar, which was eating the potatoes, so I took it to the front yard.
I grew snow peas & snap peas from seeds. Then I transplanted them into the ground. But I forgot that I planted two types of peas. When I went to harvest them, I wondered why some of the pods weren't filling up. Peas did very well until August 1 when they started to die off.
The evil rabbit ate some of my pea plants early in the year. So I had to put blocks under the gate to keep him out.
The squash sat there for a long time and wouldn't grow. Then it took off, and made four yellow bananas which I cooked with some tomatoes (also from the garden), basil, garlic, and cheese.
The cucumbers sat there for a long time and wouldn't grow. The seedlings were leggy when I bought them, and many died.
When I got some more, I buried them up to their leaves. I also planted one set in a pot with Miracle Grow mix. I also started a whole bunch from seeds. They grew, but the ones in the pot grew faster.
During August, I was able to pick dozens of them. There are lots of cucumbers. Many of them hide. And they are tasty.
I also picked a couple of English cucumbers.
The English cucumbers I started from seeds haven't made anything yet.
The pumpkins sat there for a long time and wouldn't grow. Then one of them took off until it was 20 feet long. They made lots of flowers, but only one pumpkin.
The cucurbits got tangled up with the pumpkin.
The runner bean sat there for a long time and wouldn't grow. I thought that it was a watermelon at first. It wrapped itself around a bamboo pole and then it took off until it was everywhere. It wrapped itself around every pole it could find. And then it started making beans, but none of them have filled up yet.
The watermelon sat there for a long time and wouldn't grow. Then it died.
I started some watermelon from seeds (which were old & exposed to water). They took forever to sprout and are growing very slowly in pots.
They grew without any issues.
I planted them in pots and then I transplanted them into the ground. They are growing slowly, and none have made bulbs yet. But it was too much work to separate all of them, so I planted a bunch of them in clumps.
Despite the seed tape, they still seem to be crowded, and are growing slowly. The largest ones are about 4 inches long.
The broccoli grew and grew and grew, and then the evil fly laid her eggs underneath and killed them.
At first, they would wilt when it got hot, and then rise up when the sun went down. Then one day, one of the broccoli plants would not get back up. And then one day, none of the broccoli plants could get back up. So no broccoli for me.
I planted the radishes in pots and then transplanted them. They grew and grew and grew, and then the evil fly laid her eggs underneath nearly all of them, and they all died.
The corn grew slowly and turned purple. So I added starter root fertilizer (they needed Phosphorus). Then they grew until they were four feet tall, and I had lots of corn.
The strawberries grew slowly, and made small fruit, but they sent out lots of runners. In mid-August, they made larger fruit. But I think that the sunflowers and corn blocked too much from the strawberries, which is why they didn't grow as fast.
I planted four white potatoes, and many red ones. One of the white ones went rotten, but the rest of them grew. The potatoes grew 4 feet tall, and I didn't bother to bury them. I robbed them of their white potatoes, but they are making more! Eating a white potato was like eating a cloud.
Some of the plants made flowers and some are dying off now; it will be time to harvest them.
The tomatoes grew and grew and grew. Two of the cherry tomatoes were planted in tiny pots, but they grew the tallest. But the plants got so tangled up with each other that it became impossible to find all of the red tomatoes.
The tomatoes that I bought from the supermarket didn't grow very well. Some of the tomatoes touched the ground and bits of the rotted off.
The lettuce grew quickly. Everytime I cut off a leaf, it grew back. But some of them were bitter, and after I ignored them for a while, they made flowers.
I started them in a pot and then spread them out. When I ran out of pots, I put the rest in the ground. I harvested lots of fava beans. The beans in the ground grew faster, and the ones in the pot turned yellow.
I started them in pots, and then I planted them all over the place. They are over 6 feet tall, but none of the flowers have opened yet.
I planted it and it got longer, but it never made any grapes.
I didn't bother to read the instructions on the package. I planted the crowns with the roots sticking out of the ground, thinking that they were dried asparagus. When they didn't grow, I came here. Then I planted them correctly (I hope), but they didn't grow.
I planted peppers in the ground and they all went crunchy. So I took them to the greenhouse and they gave me new ones. The lady at the greenhouse gave me Daniel's fertilizer. She said to give them fertilizer every week.
I think that they went crunch because I sprayed them with insecticidal soap, and it was a hot day. I never used chemicals again (except for fertilizer).
This time, I put them in pots. But it was wet for a while, and many of the blossoms fell off. They made a few peppers each, and then it got dry. A few weeks ago, each of them made dozens of blossoms, and now they each have about a dozen peppers.

Congrats on your first garden. As they years pass, the better you'll get...the more failures you'll discover...and the more successes you'll master. You're paying attention to not only what's growing well and what isn't...you're paying attention to how plants compete with each other in your environment.
"I planted peppers in the ground and they all went crunchy. So I took them to the greenhouse and they gave me new ones."
...and it sounds like you've found one hell of a friendly supplier there. Good on them.
Good luck with the rest of this season and next season, too.
Good going!
Just one thing: "And then it started making beans, but none of them have filled up yet." I know that in the US some people eat runners as shellies and dried beans but in the UK they are exclusively used as green beans. If they 'fill up' they're inedible in most Brits' view. (Not saying that's necessarily true) Of course, you should eat them how you want but have you tried them as green beans? The more you pick the more you'll get. But if you let the beans inside develop they'll stop cropping.

ltilton: That is correct. In July, the sun rises at 5AM, and sets at 10PM.
florauk: I don't remember planting beans. When they came up I thought that it was a watermelon. When they made pretty flowers, I came here and that is when I learned what it was.
I pulled one off today:

this is delicious, I made it with raspberries and I love it, very smooth and fine texture - thank you for this great recipe!
Was this review helpful to you?
This was soooo delicious! I actually left out all the spices, and uses sweetened vanilla almond milk so I left out the agave, but it turns into this incredible mousse like texture after a few hours of cooling. So amazing! You would never know it was made with tofu.

Energizing Self and Others

Knowing when to walk away, is Wisdom.Being able to, is Courage. Walking away with your head held high, is Dignity.
"I choose to live by choice, not by chance to be motivated, not manipulated to be useful, not used to make changes, not excuses to excel, not compete I choose self-esteem, not self pity I choose to listen to my inner voice, not to the random opinion of others."
" You must strive to find your own voice because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all." - Robin Williams as John Keating in Dead Poets Society
"May you find serenity and tranquility in a worldhttp://positive-thoughts.typepad.com
You may not always understand.
May the pain you have known and conflict you have experienced
Give you the strength to walk through life
Facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
Always know that there are those whose love and understanding
Will always be there, even when you feel most alone.
May you discover enough goodness in others
To believe in a world of peace.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours
Every day of your life,
And may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who know hate,
And let that love embrace you as you go into the world.
May the teaching of those you admire become part of you,
So that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched
And who have touched yours are always a part of you,
Even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
It is the content of the encounter that is more important than it's
May you not become too concerned with material matters,
But instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around
Realize that each person has limitless abilities,
But each of us is different in our own way.
What you may feel you lack in one regard
May be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present
May become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by
And not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved."

Butterfly Bush Seeds Help
I'm new at this, but very enthusiastic.
I've collected and cleaned lots of very tiny seeds from the spent blossoms of my butterfly bush...at least they LOOK like seeds. But now I've read that buddlea (sp?) seeds come from pods? I've never seen any pods on my plant. Should I have waited longer?
The pods are about 1/4 of an inch and look like an elongated footballs. The pods grow after the blooms are gone completely (seeds are no where on the blossoms). There will be lots of pods on the stems. It takes a really long time for the pods to turn from green to brown. I don't get ripe pods until late fall and usually (in zone 5) after the first frost. Inside the pod are tiny hairs, those are the seeds. I wait until the pods are cracking, then put them in a baggie and shake the heck out of them to clean. You can just crush up the pods and sow chaff and all too.
Here is a pic of the seeds (zoomed)....

The Anarchist: Theater Review
The Bottom Line
Patti LuPone's conviction onstage is always compelling, but otherwise this dry new David Mamet play is just a wearying lecture.
Golden Theatre, New York (runs through Feb. 17)
Patti LuPone, Debra Winger
David Mamet
Patti LuPone and Debra Winger face off in the world premiere of David Mamet's two-hander about an ex-radical angling to shorten her life sentence.
NEW YORK -- Some actors are more commanding than others when grappling with the exacting rhythms of David Mamet's clipped dialogue. Patti LuPone, who collaborated with the playwright on The Old Neighborhood in 1997 and in a number of other plays and films, is a natural. Debra Winger, making her Broadway debut, is still finding her way. But the far greater problem with The Anarchist is that this aridly intellectual two-hander -- which clocks in at a mere 65 minutes and has been loftily described by Mamet as "a Talmudic argument" -- is desiccated, dull and virtually without drama.
Delving with academic focus into polemical questions of crime and punishment, faith and atonement, reason and belief, mercy and rehabilitation, this is more of an audio-pamphlet than a play with its own life force. Marquee names aside, it's a poor fit for Broadway and a $130 top ticket.
PHOTOS: Tony Awards 2012: Stars of Stage and Screen Celebrate Broadway's Big Night
Staged on designer Patrizia von Brandenstein's grim representation of an institutional office and directed by Mamet with methodical blocking but not much vigor, The Anarchist might have built some intensity in a more intimate Off Broadway space. But in this world-premiere production, it's just a stream of static talk with a small crescendo of confrontational sparks at the end.
LuPone plays Cathy, an aging woman who has served 35 years of a life sentence in prison for the killing of two police officers during a botched robbery. Her crime was carried out under the banner of an unnamed anti-government radical extremist group that resembles the Weather Underground. The daughter of a wealthy and prominent Jewish family, she has converted to Christianity and is pushing for early release on compassionate grounds given that her father is dying. Cathy claims that she wants to see her estranged parent to allow him to forgive her, and thus, to "experience grace."
Winger's character, Ann, is a case officer tasked with assessing Cathy's eligibility for parole. The text indicates that these meetings have taken place periodically over many years, with the victims' families waiting in an anteroom and lobbying forcefully to keep Cathy behind bars. Ann is moving on from the state-appointed position, which means there's a lot riding on this particular interview. But neither the characterizations nor the meticulously honed dialogue carry much sense of a palpable history between these two women.
That's partly because of the imbalance separating the two performers. "I am an old woman," says Cathy. "I no longer offer a threat." Threat or not, LuPone handles her part of the exchanges like a cocked pistol, whether it's a terse retort or a wordy, impassioned argumentation. But Winger adopts the affectless style common to many Mamet interpreters, resulting in a disappointingly monotone performance. Even when she's needling Cathy or having her professional ethics and impartiality called into question, Ann is a flat presence.
PHOTOS: Top Ten Looks at the 2012 Tony Awards
The case officer doubts the sincerity of Cathy's religious conversion, threatening to destroy the manuscript of a nonfiction book she has written about her path to faith. But the prisoner vehemently defends her position, getting into lengthy -- and uninvolving -- theological, philosophical and semantic debates about belief and certainty.
On the opposite side of the clash, Ann accuses Cathy of withholding information on the whereabouts of a woman who was her lover and an accomplice in the robbery incident, though the prisoner denies such knowledge. Cathy insists that personal animosity factors into Ann's agenda. She maintains that the frustrated state agent is envious of her relationships with women, and that Ann is leaving the job with the bitter awareness of having achieved nothing during her time there.
Mamet and von Brandenstein stack the deck regarding the notion of Ann's repressed sexuality and her attraction to Cathy by putting her in business attire and a tight hairdo that make her a hackneyed stereotype of lesbian severity.
A note of tension belatedly creeps into the interview around the one-hour mark as Ann's dogged refusal to back down forces Cathy to make compromising statements. And there are some potentially interesting points raised concerning our attitudes toward convicted terrorists and whether those views even allow for clemency. The fact that the once-infamous Cathy is now all but forgotten by the public makes that question resonate more.
But this is a logorrheic, resolutely untheatrical play that's almost stubbornly perverse in its refusal to provide any emotional payoff. It's also a sad waste of the talents of two gifted actors who should have generated fireworks together.

Steelers Draft DT Ra\'Shon Harris With 205th Pick In Sixth Round
The Steelers drafted defensive tackle Ra\'Shon Harris, from Oregon with their 6th round pick of the 2009 NFL draft. The pick was the 205th overall and the 32nd pick of the sixth round.
Harris is a 6\'4″, 298lb defensive tackle.
Combine Results:
40 Yard Dash : 5.05 seconds
Bench Press : 28.0 reps
Vertical Jump : 25.5 inches
Broad Jump : 106.0 inches
3 Cone Drill : 8.18 seconds
20 Yard Shuttle : 4.87 seconds
Harris is a raw project at nose tackle who needs to improve as a pass rusher. Will need to learn the 2 gap if he is to play in the Steelers 3-4. Will be tried over the nose, but will need tons of coaching and a great camp to make the team.

Challenge Day Program at M-A High
Original post made by Margie Lawrence, Menlo Park: Downtown, on Oct 16, 2006
This is the third year that MAHS is offering the program to all incoming freshmen. The Challenge Day program is professionally run for high schools and is designed to unite the members of the incoming
freshmen class. Participation will empower the students to develop the themes of compassion, acceptance, respect, communication and connection amongst themselves as a class and then carry those themes back into their academic classes and the entire school population at large. Since the program was first introduced to MAHS by Andy Stuart, Student Activities Director, the campus climate has already taken a change for the positive, with school spirit at an all time high.
This year faculty members and counselors from around the Bay Area will be attending with the intent of taking this program back to their own schools.
Another exciting happening is that the Challenge Day Organization will be highlighted on an upcoming Oprah Show segment in November.MAHS will be highlighted as one of the schools successfully utilizing this program.

"These invites are darling! The personalization is great, and I really loved that you could personalize the back of this invite as well- gives you lots more room to share the info you need to share about the shower! The print quality for the photo on the back is a little hazy, but not enough to sway the fact that I love these invites (and this may be partially because of the quality of the photo that I used). They arrived within days of ordering (even when the estimated arrival was about two weeks out), which I really appreciated!"
"Found the perfect Baby Shower invitation! Baby shower decorations are light linen, burlap and pale blue accents. Opened up your web site to the perfect invite. Thanks!"
"I strongly recommend tiny prints products. The invitations I order are nice, good quality paper & paint & fast shipping. I've order 2x from them & I'm very happy with my orders.."
"The hostesses had a difficult time finding the right fall season card. This fairly neutral, adorably vintage rustic card fit our needs perfectly. We want our "little pumpkin" theme to entail blue and ivory pumpkins, and lots of burlap and rustic touches - and very little orange, and no cheesiness. This card is stylish, simple, and elegant. The color of the edges, are called "spearmint." They are definitely not baby blue, but can pass for blue if you're leaning in that direction. If not, and you need a gender neutral card, this is also a safe bet. At the direction of another reviewer, I used the square envelopes, rather than the larger envelopes that reduce the postage cost, and I'm happy that I did. It's not a huge deal, and why I still keep it to 5 stars, but I do wish I could darken/make clearer the information at the bottom, but that was my choice to keep the default font. Maybe other customers should play around to pick something more bold that stands off the page."
"I love the invitation but would absolutely recommend getting the square envelope. I ordered the free rectangle envelopes as Tiny Prints suggested to save on postage, but I wish I had not. It would definitely be nicer in a matching square envelope. Other than that, great product!"

A renowned international law scholar who recently completed a six-year term as UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Occupied Palestine. This Book powerfully illuminates the transformation of the Palestinians' struggle over recent years into a struggle for legitimacy, similar to that pursued by the anti-colonial movements of the twentieth century. Falk has built this compelling narrative around a series of essays he wrote between 2010 and early 2014 for his personal blog.
The book provides both a nuanced portrait of the development of the Palestinian resistance movement(s) and a strong focus on the key role that international law and institutions and global solidarity movements have played in this struggle. Please join us for this special evening.

Event: Israeli author appeals for separation of religion and state, Nov 3
Monday, Nov. 3, 7:00 PM 2150 Giffen Ave., on the corner of Stony Point Road and Giffen, just south of Sebastopol Road.
Israeli author appeals for separation of religion and state
Israeli journalist Ofra Yeshua-Lyth, author of the recently re-released The Case for a Secular New Jerusalem: A Memoir, will speak Monday, Nov. 3 in Santa Rosa about why she believes the religious nature of her country is at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This discussion will be meaningful for Jews who have begun questioning Israeli policies, Palestinians and their allies, and everyone who is interested in finding a just and peaceful resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
In the Israeli newspaper Haaretz book reviewer Ilana Hammerman wrote, " The analysis is a controversial consideration of the question framed by the Hebrew subtitle: Why don't Israeli's have a secular democratic state. The subtitle appears without a question mark, perhaps because the answer is obvious from the start: because there is no separation of church and state in Israel."
Born and raised in Israel, Yeshua-Lyth served as a soldier in the Israeli army and as a correspondent for the Israeli newspaper Maariv in Germany and the US. She is an ardent feminist and the mother of a daughter who refused to serve in the Israeli army.
As part of an international book tour, she will speak beginning at 7 p.m. at the Stony Point campus of the First Methodist Church of Santa Rosa, 2150 Giffen Ave., on the corner of Stony Point Road and Giffen, just south of Sebastopol Road. Admission is a requested donation of $7 to $10. Nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. There will be refreshments following the talk.
This event is co-sponsored by the North Coast Coalition for Palestine, Sonomans for Justice and Peace in Palestine, the Petaluma Progressives and the Peace and Justice Center of Sonoma County.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
Analysts at McKinsey and Co. have recently created a very cool look at the world of innovation. Their innovation "heat map," developed in conjunction with the World Economic Forum, maps the world's leading industrial clusters according to key factors such as size, diversity, and growth. The map operates as a quadrant based on four categories:
The article also lays out three paths to building successful clusters. The authors contend that all clusters emerge via one of three paths: "heroic bets" rely on massive government intervention in support of key sectors; "irresistible deals" rely on regions attracting companies who want to capitalize on a critical local advantage (such as low cost labor); and "knowledge oases" emerge in those rare regions with a critical mass of highly skilled talent (e.g. a major research lab or university).Article: "Building an Innovation Nation," by Andre Andonian, Christoph Loos, and Luiz Pires

Spectacular views over golf course from room. Every part of the guest room was immaculately clean. Terrace restaurant excellent. Swimming pool towels delivered to room when requested. - Anonymous
The managers, Lawrence and a blonde lady (can't remember her name) were very accommodating for us right from arrival. We were allowed to arrive 3 hours before we originally planned which was great and were upgraded to a bigger room free of charge because it wasn't being used the days we had booked. The room was fantastic, very spacious, clean and well equipped (tea, coffee, kettle, hair dryer etc.) The hotel felt very safe, and the grounds were well kept - pool area and restaurant looked nice a - Anonymous

According to the IMDB, "Bridget Jones's Diary 2" is back on track and looks set to go into production at the end of the Summer. According to the site, original stars Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant haven't signed yet – and won't – until they see the finished script.
Also, original director Sharon Maguire will not resume her duties, she has been replaced by "To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar" director Beeban Kidron. However, things are now improving for the project, screenwriter Adam Brooks has agreed to polish the script , Andrew Davis' adaptation of Helen Fielding's book The Edge Of Reason. A source says, "Renee had the title role and her name about the title with Bridget Jones' Diary and she won her first Academy Award nomination for it. So the bar had been set high. You only want to do a second film if the bar is raised just as high, if not higher." An insider adds, "It'll happen. Adam Brooks did a script called Wimbledon and everyone likes it, and he'll do a great job on The Edge of Reason. This is a movie everyone wants to see and Renee knows it."

Arizona Coyotes
Phoenix Coyotes roll past last-place Edmonton Oilers
EDMONTON, Alberta -- Mike Ribeiro and Mikkel Boedker each had a goal and two assists as the Phoenix Coyotes started off a four-game road trip with a 6-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
Radim Vrbata, Shane Doan, Keith Yandle and David Moss also scored for the Coyotes, who had lost four of their previous five games.
David Perron scored twice for the Oilers, who dropped to 3-9-0 on home ice this season.
Boedker scored on a power play 3� minutes into the game, putting a rebound past goaltender Devan Dubnyk. It was just Phoenix's second first-period goal in the last six games.
Edmonton tied it midway through the first period after Phoenix defenseman David Schlemko gave up the puck to Mark Arcobello. A drop pass by Arcobello set up Perron, who beat Coyotes goalie Mike Smith.
Seven minutes into the second period, Ribeiro passed through the crease to a wide-open Vrbata, who scored his ninth of the season.
Just 58 seconds later, the Coyotes had a two-goal advantage as Ribeiro floated a shot from the point that was deflected on the way to the net by Doan.
Edmonton got one of those goals back on the power play with just 52 seconds left in the middle period as Ales Hemsky made a nice pass from behind the net to Perron, who scored his second of the game with a quick shot off Smith's shoulder. It was Perron's 11th goal of the season.
After having what initially appeared to be a goal by Moss called back on a high stick, the Coyotes went up 4-2 on another Edmonton defensive breakdown as Ribeiro was left alone in front to take a pass from Doan and score his eighth of the season.
Phoenix put the game out of reach midway through the third period with another pair of quick-strike goals 42 seconds apart.
Yandle got the fifth goal and Moss deflected a shot on net and then swatted in his own rebound.
NOTES: This was the second of five meetings this season between the Pacific Division rivals. Phoenix came from behind with a pair of late third-period goals to win 5-4 at home on Oct. 26. ... Dubnyk got the start for Edmonton after coming in to relieve an injured Ilya Bryzgalov in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win in Dallas. Bryzgalov's status is uncertain as he continues to be evaluated for concussion/whiplash symptoms after taking a hit in the crease from the Stars' Ryan Garbutta.

Our Goal is your Goal…
The staff at Shawn Penoyer Interiors is genuinely interested in creating an award winning space for each and every client we serve.

"Who is your Interior Designer?"
Who indeed! Our philosophy is simple and straightforward – We want to give our clients a final product, a solution in fact, that is elegant and simple, bold and defining, sophisticated and unique. We want to create interiors that are not traditional designs that every other designer has created and recreated again and again, but transitional, or Hollywood chic.

Our team works together and we collaborate behind the scenes long before we have arrived at your home, and long after we have left for the day. We take this approach on many levels and we will not rest until the project is complete; this unsettled nature is how Shawn Penoyer has become such an incredible designer and a perfectionist is his designs. Venetian plaster walls are personally and masterfully applied by his own hand and he absolutely refuses to let anyone else, no matter their experience, apply the final finish coat. Shawn hand-crafts his own mirrors, designs and produces his own stencils, and we even finish and upholster our own furniture lines. We have our own workrooms, our own installers and electricians and every project is personally managed, reviewed and signed off by the top designer himself before completion. You can see that the attention to detail is second to none and this is also our commitment to you, as our client. We look forward to serving you!

Latest Animal hoarding Stories

When dealing with animal hoarding it is often a difficult topic to discuss.

More evidence that Terrence Malick is the best
Terrence Malick's latest film,To the Wonder, still hasn't been released in the United States. I'm a huge Malick fan--see my earlier post on Days of Heaven--so I was already excited to see the new movie, which features Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Olga Kurylenko, and Javier Bardem.After hearing how Malick asked his actors to prepare, though, I'm even more excited:
Our Hazlitt?
James Wood, a staff writer for the New Yorker and the author of the new essay collection The Fun Stuff, is as close to a rock star as a literary critic can get. He is a full professor of English at Harvard based solely on the strength of his literary journalism (he doesn't have a PhD).
Words in Action
For the modernist poet and painter David Jones, the artist's life always seemed a natural fit. Born in Kent in 1895, he was raised to value beautiful words and images: his father was a printer's overseer, and his family, Jones wrote, "took the printed page and its illustration for granted." Jones himself started drawing at the age of five and enrolled in art school at fourteen. In 1922, after serving with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in the First World War, he joined an artist guild formed by the sculptor Eric Gill and began experimenting with wood and copper engraving.
In Search of Ohio
Dawn Powell once remarked, All Americans come from Ohio originally, if only briefly. This quotation has been in my mind lately. Thanks to the presidential election, weve been hearing a lot about Ohio over the past few weeks. It has been declared the swing state of all swing states, the bellwether of all bellwethers. If President Obama maintains his slim but consistent lead in the state, then hell likely win a second term and secure the continued existence of things like Obamacare and the Dodd-Frank Act.
Arguing with Wood
In a recent post, Dominic Preziosi described how delightful reading James Woods reviews in the New Yorker can be. Im a huge Wood fan, too, and I love many of the things that Dominic seems to love: the mini-tutorials on fiction, the clever turns-of-phrase, the joy of seeing Wood size up and then take down an overpraised writer (in this case, Tom Wolfe).What Dominic doesnt mention, however, is how infuriating it can be to read Wood, even for a fan.
Back to Campus
John Williams's Stoner, published in 1965 and reissued by New York Review Books in 2003, is a strange work. Its a campus novel that, unlike many of its predecessors in the genre, refuses to devolve into farce or caricature. In the world of Stoner, academics are quirky and petty, but they are never merely quirky, never merely petty; in their mixture of flaws and strengths, they resemble actual human beings.
Counting Down to Silence
Reviewing poetry in translation is a tricky business. Should the reviewer focus on the translation's loyalty to the original text, or on its success as a work of art in its own right? Are we concerned primarily with fidelity, or with aesthetic power? If, as the Israeli poet Chaim Nachman Bialik once said, "reading poetry in translation is like kissing through a veil," then reviewing poetry in translation is something even stranger: determining whether a different veil would have made for a better kiss.
In honor of Labor Day, here is Josef Pieper on the foundational value of leisure:
Literary Link Roundup
Allegra Goodman, one of my favorite novelists, announced on her blog that she has completed a complete manuscript of her new novel, Arcadia. (A surprising choice for a title considering Lauren Groff, the talented young author of The Monsters of Templeton, just published a novel with the same title this past year.)
The New New Atheists
In the July issue of Harper's, Christopher Beha has an essay (subscription required)examining several books by a group of writers--the philosopher Alex Rosenberg, the neuroscientist Sam Harris, and the general man-of-letters Alain de Botton--that Beha termsthe New New Atheists.

While advertising for political campaigns often takes the form of expensive television commercials or large-scale fundraising events, politicians will also utilize more grassroots tactics to get their message out. In the same way, out-of-home advertising can also be carried out on a scale much smaller than massive wallscapes or enormous billboards and still have a powerful impact.
Adults aren't the only ones that can be influenced by out-of-home advertising. This hard-to-miss, eye-catching advertising medium can often be extremely successful in grabbing the attention of the youngest consumers.

Apr 14 - Homily: Doubtless Faith
Version 8 and above required to view videos
Uploaded by AirMaria on Apr 14, 2010
Fr. Ignatius starting from the example of St. Justin the Martyr who testified to his faith by the sacrifice of his life shows that faith has more surety than pure reason. Father points out that St Justin was also famous for his reasons to believe and he compares this with President Obama's assertion at Notre Dame that faith necessarily involves doubt and the most basic, natural morals can be called into question.
