What's the fastest way (fewest actions) to earn the most valuable commodities?
The fastest way I've found so far is in Mahogany Hall; it requires a very high Persuasive skill. If you train the Louche Devil and teach him Philosophy, you'll get 111 Nevercold Brass Slivers per action and increase your Pygmalion quality. When Pygmalion reaches 17 or 18, you should be safe to take him out to a Society dinner, which gives you 1000 bonus slivers. ... You can then re-train him as often as you like to rack up lots of Echoes.
If you want to do it with your Dangerous, head to the third coil of the Labyrinth of Tigers. "Avoid becoming an exhibit yourself" and "Fight back" for ~1 Echo per action. (Most of the actions in the third coil earn ~1 Echo per action, but they require a very high Persuasive as well.)
This is a difficult one to answer; given the link between Stories and Qualities, it will be different dependant on what is available to you.
As a general rule, completing a series of linked Stories will carry greater reward, but this can become inefficient if the Story is difficult for the determining Quality (failed attempts receive no monetary reward).
As for a specific tip; I would recommend searching the ruins in the forgotten quarter in the early game. The reward for the lowest level option is based solely on luck, and the cost of entry can be reasonably quickly reclaimed. 10 x relics @ 5p with a 50% success rate = 25p/adv.
I think most storylets are pretty well balanced. Labyrinth of Tigers and Mahogany Hall can give you about an Echo per success, but you also need stats of 90-100 to play.
So if all you're after is money, concentrate on one stat, because the rewards seem to be tied to that.
Also, many of the longer-term sequences (e.g. ones with Running Battle) can have big payoffs at the end.
Gambling in the House of Chimes, in the Heart's Hazard room (need to be an Exceptional Friend and a Person of Some Importance), gives you about 1.5 echoes per action and an occasional epic success giving you 13 echoes and some suspicion.
It appears that you gain more valuable goods for completing more challenging stories. I would suggest focusing on a single statistic to unlock more rewarding stories. Risky and Chancy challenges seem to increases stats very quickly. When you want more loot per action, seek out easier stories.
Keeping on hand Second Chance items earned through social activities (Chess, etc) improves your chances of success in stories and is worth spending a few actions on.
Once your stats are at a reasonable height, most grinding yields about an echo per action, but that's at straight bazaar prices where it doesn't matter if you're talking rostygold or glim or rats or whatever - but if you go with a grind that yields an improvable currency (foxfire candle stubs, glim, jade fragments, souls, stolen correspondence, lamplighter beeswax, whispered secrets, prisoner's honey, silk scraps, proscribed material, primordial shrieks, greyfields 1882) then grinding it high enough to bulk trade up through the chains to completion, and then selling finished products - Way more lucrative.
Once you become a Person of Some Interest then you can do "Unfinished business" storylets at the main quality based locations like: Spite, Ladybones, Veilgarden, Watchmaker. The options that require 5 or 6 actions give random results but on average they give 1.5 Echoes. It's also less time consuming if you just need 2 clicks for 5 or 6 actions rather than 12 clicks for 6x 1 action.
I've found that bulk converting upwards is actually action inefficient and unprofitable if you work out the rewards. It's not "lucrative" at all.
Currently at Polythreme you can "Lurk in the eaves." The challenge level is quite high (broad 120 Shadowy), but:
It seems also to be a good challenge for improving shadowy.
The Writer's Desk storylet is accessible from persuasion 10 in Veilgarden pays off very well, although the action cost per "cycle" is relatively great.
Anyway, according to some math I did, always publish as competent, write rapidly from 54 perception onwards, and frienzedly from 189 on, and the payoff per action is:
Of course, as you go higher, much better sources of income will become available.

Is anyone else a tad queasy about the just-announced Bruce Springsteen benefit tribute concert being mounted by MusiCares? I'm picturing Elton John hunched over on his piano stool skewering "Thunder Road," and it's not a pleasant image. For some reason I'm reminded of that time Elton sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" with Axy Rose, which still shows up in my nightmares from time to time.
But Neil Young and Mumford & Sons will probably do justice to Springsteen's catalog (excuse me, "Mr. Springsteen's catalog," to quote the New York Times), and personally I'd love to hear Mavis Staples tear into "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out." Not that I'll necessarily get the chance; there's no word of a broadcast, so we'll have to count on the mucky-mucks who could afford tickets to shoot clips with their iPhones. Do mucky-mucks do that kind of thing? [UPDATE: Rolling Stone is now saying the concert will be broadcast on CBS, so set your DVR!]
Here's the rundown, via the MusiCares release:
Alabama Shakes, Jackson Browne, Kenny Chesney, Ben Harper, Emmylou Harris,� Faith Hill, Jim James, Elton John, Juanes, John Legend, Natalie Maines, Tim McGraw, Tom Morello, Mumford & Sons, Patti Smith, Mavis Staples, Sting, Eddie Vedder, and Neil Young will perform at the tribute concert in honor of 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year Bruce Springsteen. The sold-out gala will take place Feb. 8, 2013, two days prior to the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Additional performers will be announced shortly.

Signs your foundation may need repairs
Does your foundation need repairs? Some of these signs could signal that it's time to call a professional.
Cracks in your walls in the inside of your home is one sign that your foundation may need repairs. Also, cracks in the bricks in your fireplace could be another sign, as could cracks in the concrete at the base of your home.
Your windows can also offer you signs. If your windows don't fit properly, or if there are horizontal cracks on your windows, it could signal foundation problems.
Water can also signal foundation issues. Standing water around your home after a rainfall can mean you have drainage issues, which can affect your foundation.
Trees too close to your house can also be a red flag. The roots can potentially damage your foundation.

The BUAV calls on UK tourists to help the monkeys of Mauritius when booking on Sunshine Saturday
Saturday 11th January is tipped to see a peak in UK holidaymakers booking trips abroad, so leading animal protection organisation, the BUAV, has launched an appeal for tourists to take action to help the suffering monkeys on the paradise island of Mauritius.
Mauritius is a tropical haven, rich in lush foliage and surrounded by coral reefs. It is a top holiday destination for families, sun-seekers and honeymooners alike. Yet most are unaware that there is a dark secret to this paradise - Mauritius is one of the world's largest supplies of long-tailed macaques for the research industry. Many thousands of monkeys are exported from the island each year to laboratories in the EU and, in particular, the UK.
Tourism is one of the largest contributors to the Mauritian economy, therefore, holiday-makers choosing to visit the island are in a good position to voice their concerns regarding the plight of the monkeys trapped and held for exportation.
CEO of the BUAV, Michelle Thew, said: "Life in Mauritius is not a holiday for the monkeys. Thousands are kept imprisoned in industrial-scale factories for the sole purpose of producing babies to be later shipped abroad into a life of suffering inside a laboratory. The beautiful island hides a sad secret and we appeal to anyone booking a sunshine break to think about the monkeys and contact the Mauritian government to help bring an end to this dreadful trade."
The BUAV launched its 'Save our Monkeys' campaign in 2012 to raise awareness regarding the thousands of animals suffering as a result of the research-supply trade. Its investigation at one of the main primate supply companies in 2012 caused an outcry of horror globally as images of hundreds of dead monkeys discarded in bins were released. Many of the animals were mothers and babies because, amongst other things, they were simply 'surplus' to requirement.
For further information about the campaign visit www.buav.org/Mauritius

Reporting on American Democracy and Chinese Autocracy in the 21st Century
Richard McGregor is Washington Bureau Chief for the Financial Times, leading the newspaper's coverage of American politics and managing its DC-based team of reporters.
Previously, McGregor served as the FT's deputy news editor in London, as well as Beijing bureau chief and Shanghai correspondent. Prior to joining the FT, he was the chief political correspondent and China correspondent for The Australian. He has also reported for the International Herald Tribune, the BBC and the Far Eastern Economic Review.
McGregor has won numerous awards throughout his nearly two decades of reporting from north Asia, including a 2010 Society of Publishers in Asia Editorial Excellence Award (Excellence in Reporting Breaking News category) for his coverage on the Xinjiang Riots and 2008 SOPA Awards for Editorial Intelligence (Excellence in Opinion Writing and Excellence in Feature Writing categories). He is author of The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers (2010), described by The Economist as a "masterful depiction" of the Chinese political system. The Party was awarded the third annual Bernard Schwartz Prize by the Asia Society in New York in 2011 for nonfiction books making an outstanding contribution to understanding Asia.
Richard McGregor's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
The Fallacies of States' Rights
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
The idea that "states' rights" restrain national power is riding high in American judicial and popular opinion. Here, Sotirios Barber will show how arguments for states' rights, from the days of John C. Calhoun to the present, have offended common sense, logic, and bedrock constitutional principles.
To begin with, states' rights federalism cannot possibly win the debate with national federalism owing to the very forum in which the requisite argument must occur — a national one, thanks to the Civil War — and the ordinary rules of practical argumentation. Further, the political consequences of this self-defeating logic can only hasten the loss of American sovereignty to international economic forces. Both philosophical and practical reasons compel us to consider two historical alternatives to states' rights federalism. In the federalism of John Marshall, the nation's most renowned jurist, the national government's duty to ensure security, prosperity, and other legitimate national ends must take precedence over all conflicting exercises of state power. In "process" federalism, the Constitution protects the states by securing their roles in national policy making and other national decisions. Barber opts for Marshall's federalism, but the contest is close, and his analysis takes the debate into new, fertile territory.
Affirming the fundamental importance of the Preamble, Barber advocates a conception of the Constitution as a charter of positive benefits for the nation. It is not, in his view, a contract among weak separate sovereigns whose primary function is to protect people from the central government, when there are greater dangers to confront.
Professor Barber combines interests in political philosophy and the American Constitution. He is the author of: The Constitution and the Delegation of Congressional Power (1975) (Chicago); On What the Constitution Means (1986)(John Hopkins); The Constitution of Judicial Power (1997)(Johns Hopkins); Welfare and the Constitution (2005)(Princeton); and, with James Fleming, Constitutional Interpretation: The Basic Questions (2007)(Oxford; named an Outstanding Academic Title for 2008 by Choice magazine). With Robert George, he is the co-editor of Constitutional Politics: Essays in Constitution Making, Maintenance, and Change (2001)(Princeton). With Walter Murphy, James Fleming, and Stephen Macedo, he is co-author/editor of American Constitutional Interpretation (2008), 4th edition (Foundation Press). He has also published numerous articles in constitutional theory. He has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies, and he has held visiting professorships at Princeton University and the University of Michigan. His present projects include a book on constitutional failure for the University Press of Kansas and the 5th edition of American Constitutional Interpretation.
Sotirios A. Barber is Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame. His Athenaeum talk is sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom.
Turn the Poet Out of Doors: A Natural History of Robert Frost
Robert Frost wrote, "It takes all kinds of in and outdoor schooling/To get adapted to my kind of fooling." Never more serious than when he was fooling, Frost's in and outdoor schooling included a life-long passion for natural history in general and gathering flowers, the most fundamental anthologizing, in particular. Cautioning one friend, "Don't put me down for a botanist," Frost would write to others about his relentless "botanizing," wondering, in one instance, whether one group of mountains contains ferns and another contains Braun's Holly or a particular species of wild orchids. He loved to talk with students about the qualities of Spencer, Braeburn, or Northern Spy apples but remained keenly aware of what the tension between what we know and what we believe about the natural world, between literary and natural history, essence and family resemblance: "The rose is a rose,/And was always a rose./ But the theory now goes/That the apple's a rose,/ And the pear is, and so's/ The plum, I suppose. . ." ("The Rose Family").
Frost's knowledge of natural history has often taken literary critics by surprise but has also captivated scientists as well. After visiting Amherst in 1931, Niels Bohr was impressed by Frost's understanding of the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics; Stephen Jay Gould remarked often on the stunning insights he found in Frost's poems. Peter S. White, a renowned botanist and ecologist, has found in Robert Frost a remarkable compendium of dramatic insights. The director of the University of North Carlolina's 700-acre botanical gardens and a professor of biology and botany at UNC Chapel Hill, Peter White is in a unique position to reveal what flowers and poetry tell us about the world and about the interrelated worlds of poetry and science.
White is a plant ecologist with interests in communities, floristics, biogeography, species richness, beta diversity, conservation biology and disturbance and patch dynamics. In vegetation science he is interested in the composition and dynamics of plant communities, the relationship between vegetation and landscape, and role of disturbance, and the ecology of individual species in a dynamic setting. In conservation biology he is interested in the distribution and biology of rare species, the design and management of nature reserves and alien species invasions.
Under White's direction, The UNC Botanical Garden became one of the first gardens to enact policies aimed at diminishing the risk of release of exotic pest organisms in 1998 and was presented with a Program Excellence Award in 2004 by the American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta. In 2009, the Garden opened the Education Center, a 29,000 sq ft facility designed to achieve a Platinum LEED rating.
Between teaching classes and running the North Carolina Botanical Garden, Peter White finds little time to actually stop and smell the roses. "We live in a world teeming with other species," White has observed. "We're evolved from the same cell that started it all, and we don't understand it worth beans."That quest for deeper knowledge takes him from his University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Office to the Smokies in Sevier County, Tennessee, to hunt a missing Arctic wildflower last seen in 1892. His research put him before lawmakers in Congress to testify on the importance of cataloging and preserving as many species as possible: plants, bugs, bacteria, anything.
Peter White serves on the Boards of the North Carolina Plant Conservation Program, the Center for Plant Conservation and Discover Life in America.
His talk is sponsored by The Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
The Arab Uprisings
The upheavals in the Arab world have captured everyone's attention since they began in Tunisia in December 2010 and rapidly spread all over the Middle East. To date, three governments have fallen—Tunisia Egypt and Libya—Syria has collapsed in blood bath, and the demand for honest, decent rulers and democracy has shaken regimes throughout the region.
To help us understand these extraordinary and unprecedented developments, we are fortunate this evening to hear from James Gelvin, professor of Middle Eastern history at UCLA, and a specialist in the social and cultural history of the modern Middle East). His latest book, The Arab Uprisings: What Everyone Needs to Know (2012), is published by Oxford University Press this year.
Professor Gelvin graduated from Columbia University and received his Ph.D. from Harvard. Before joining the faculty at UCLA, he taught at MIT, Boston College, and Harvard. Previously, he was a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholar, and has taught as a visiting professor at the American University in Beirut.
As dramatic and world shattering as they have been, the events in the Middle East have not drawn him away from examining the historical roots of modern conflict. He is currently co-editing a forthcoming book called Global Islam in the Age of Steam and Print, 1850-1930, and has recently published articles on modernity and tradition in Damascus, and the roots of political Islam.
In his talk at the Athenaeum Professor Gelvin will discuss the current situation in the Middle East.
Why We Don't Take Prosperity for Granted Anymore; The Real--And Lasting--Consequences of the Financial Crisis and Great Recession
Robert Samuelson is a journalist for the Washington Post, where he writes a weekly economics column. He was a columnist for National Journal magazine from 1976 to 1984 and for Newsweek from 1984 to 2011. In 1982, he received an Alicia Patterson Journalism Fellowship to research and write about the changes in the U.S. economy since World War II.
Samuelson's work has been consistently recognized for its excellence during the course of his career. He received the 1993 John Hancock Award for Best Business and Financial Columnist, was awarded Gerald Loeb Awards for Commentary in 1993, 1986 and 1983, received the 1981 National Magazine Award and won National Headliner Awards for Feature Column on a Single Subject in both 1992 and 1993 and for Best Special Interest Column 1987.
His most recent book, The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath: The Past and Future of American Affluence, was published in 2008. In it, he asserts that the Great Inflation was the worst domestic policy blunder of the postwar era, and that the modern economy cannot be understood without considering the Great Inflation and its aftermath.
In his Athenaeum address Robert Samuelson will challenge the notion that the 2008 financial crisis resulted mostly from Wall Street greed and governmental deregulation. He argues instead that the crisis resulted from a 25-year economic boom that started in the early 1980s with the dramatic decline of inflation. Samuelson criticizes the modern assumptions of economic management--that economic knowledge had advanced to the point where major collapses or even depressions were impossible and explains that our understanding and tools of control are far weaker than had been presumed. The consequences of this include a newfound caution on the part of both companies and consumers, as well as a semi-permanent slowdown in economic growth.
The Place of Science Writing in Literary Journalism
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Burkhard Bilger was a senior editor at Discover from 1999 to 2005. Before that, he worked as a writer and deputy editor for The Sciences, where his work helped earn two National Magazine Awards and six nominations.
Bilger's work has also appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, The New York Times, the New York Times Book Review, and numerous other publications, and has been anthologized in The Best American Sports Writing, Best Food Writing, and three times in The Best American Science and Nature Writing.
Burkhard Bilger has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 2001. His articles have focused on food, science, and American subcultures, and have included essays on the mysteries of time perception and the enigma of American stature (why are we smaller than Europeans?), as well as portraits of gem dealers in Madagascar, short-order cooks in Las Vegas, and a cheese-making nun in Connecticut. He continues to explore many of these topics in his first book, Noodling for Flatheads: Moonshine, Monster Catfish, and Other Southern Comforts (2000), which was a finalist for the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction. His book narrates his own journey through the South, exploring time-honored traditions as moonshining and cockfighting, coonhunting and, of course – "noodling." Noodling, by the way, is the act of sticking your hand into the water and letting a catfish grab it, then yanking the fish out of the water.
Bilger is also co-author of The Best American Science & Nature Writing (2001). His talk will discuss the place of science writing in literary journalism and is sponsored by CMC's Center for Writing and Public Discourse.
Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India
Joseph Lelyveld worked at The New York Times for nearly 40 years, ascending its ranks to serve as its executive editor from 1994-2001.
After graduating from Harvard in 1958, he received a Master's degree from the Columbia School of Journalism in 1960, and subsequently a Fulbright Scholarship. He then joined the Times. He went from copy editor to foreign correspondent in just three years, and received an award in 1971 for his education reporting, and a 1983 award for his foreign reporting. He has served as foreign editor of the NYT, and as its managing editor.
His newest book, the topic of his discussion at the Athenaeum, is Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India, published last year. The book has earned praise as being "judicious and thoughtful", yet also deep and complex for those who have only a rudimentary knowledge of Gandhi's life.
Great Soul also stirred up controversy as some thought the book insinuated that Gandhi was bisexual or homosexual. Lelyveld has denied this, and has said that this is a misinterpretation of the admittedly close relationship between Gandhi and one of his disciples, bodybuilder Hermann Kallenbach.
Lelyveld's is the author of other works, and his book entitled Move Your Shadow: South Africa, Black and White (1985) won the Pultizer Prize for General non-fiction in 1986. The book was based on Lelyveld's reporting from South Africa in the 1960s and 1980s, and explores the country's racial policies and reform processes.
This lecture by Joseph Lelyveld is made possible by the generosity of CMC alumnus L. J. Kutten '74.
The Business of Baseball
Baseball has become a big business. To begin to understand what this great sport has meant to the nation and what it may become in the future, it is necessary to take a look at the business of baseball. Business decisions have brought us free agency, the M.L.B. Players Association, long term contracts, and exorbitant signing bonuses. The business of the sport has also begun to look beyond America and has become increasingly international in its appeal. To help flesh out major trends in baseball which follow from these business decisions, the Athenaeum has assembled a panel of prominent baseball professionals to represent the perspectives of players, coaches, and general managers. Topics will range from how players have changed to personal experiences getting into the profession.
Scott Akasaki enters his ninth season with the Dodgers and third as director of team travel. The previous six seasons he was manager of team travel following five seasons in the club's Asian Operations Department, most recently as the manager of Japanese Affairs. Akasaki, 36, was the first Asian-American to be named to the post in Major League history and is just the fifth team travel representative for the Dodgers since they moved to Los Angeles in 1958.
Wes Parker, a 1962 CMC alumnus, was the first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1964 to 1972 and earned Gold Gloves for fielding his last six years in the Majors. He retired as the finest fielding first baseman ever by both reputation and percentage. He was also the team's rookie of the year and MVP in 1970.
James Colborn pitched 10 years in the majors with the Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee, Kansas City and Seattle. He was selected to the American League All-Star team in 1973; in 1975 he pitched a no-hitter for the Royals. He retired as an active player in 1979, but remained a star in coaching circles, starting his career with the Chicago Cubs. Colburn served as a pitching coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers and for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Colborn now has the Jim Colborn Baseball League.
Special tribute is given to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps founding athletics director and longtime baseball coach, Bill Arce. Beginning in 1962, he used sabbaticals and summer vacations to develop baseball in various European countries including Holland and Italy, two countries for whom he coached teams to European championships. He is now widely recognized as one of the great ambassadors of the game.

Looking forward to going after some SD antelope and mulies this year and wanting to start appliying for points in a good elk state for the future. i am looking foward to learning a lot from all the members on the do's and dont's for hunting western big game. I prefer archery hunting and is what i am mostly interested in when hunting big game, but i do like to break out the old boom-stick on occasions!

In the previous tutorial we learned how to write, define, weave in and run an aspect. So if you have not read it yet, please do that first.
We also learned how to write and use before and after advice, which allowed us to define code blocks that does something before and after a specific action is triggered.
In this tutorial we will learn how to make use of one of the most powerful constructs in AOP; the around advice. We will implement a little around advice that hijacks the
HelloWorld.greet() to make the traditional greeting a bit more interesting.
The Test Application
Here is the same old Hello World application.
It is a standard Java application and can be compiled with
javac -d target HelloWorld.java.
However this application is indeed a bit boring and we are all pretty tired of it. So let's try to make it a bit more interesting, let's hijack the
HelloWorld.greet() method.
Writing and defining the Aspect
To be able to hijack the
greet() method we need to make use of the around advice construct.
The around advice can be seen as being invoked "around" or "instead of" the the actual method invocation (can be any well-defined action, aka join point), "intercepting" the invocation. Basically it allows us to replace the regular code and define our own code that runs instead of the regular code.
But the key point is that we also have the "magic" method
proceed() which allows us to proceed with the invocation and trigger the action that we have just replaced.
Let's take a look at some code to make less abstract:
In this code we have an advice method called
yellifyier, which we define (using annotations) as being an around advice. What this method does is first invoke the original
greet() method (which we have intercepted using the
yellifyier around advice) using the "magic" method
JoinPoint.proceed(). This method returns the result from the original method invocation. In this case the
"Hello World!" string. So what we then do is making the Hello World application yell the greeting. (Well don't know if it was that much more fun.)
In the
Around annotation we also bind the advice to a specific join point, in this case an anonymous one that picks out the
HelloWorld.greet() method.
For more information about the annotation and XML definition, pointcut patterns etc. see the online documentation.
We also have to provide a tiny XML deployment descriptor (in this example called
aop.xml) to tell the AspectWerkz system which Java classes it should treat and load as aspects:
Weaving and running the Aspect
After adding annotations you need to run a special AspectWerkz tool. This is done after compiling your aspect class files, (i.e. after running
javac). The tool, known as the
AnnotationC compiler, can be invoked as follows, passing in the source directory (
.), and the class directory (
For AspectWerkz 1.0 final:
More information on the
AnnotationC compiler can be found here.
Now we are ready to run the weave in our aspect and run the Hello World application. This is done using the
aspectwerkz command line tool:
See the previous Hello World tutorial on the online documentation for details.
This produces the expected output:
and as you can see, the greeting is now yelled out.
The key points I am trying to illustrate here is that:
- the
HelloWorldapplication is completely oblivious of the fact that it is actually yelling out the greeting
- the
yellifieradvice implementation is generic and can be used to yell out output captured from any method (that does not return void).
However, you might have noticed that the definition (in the aspect annotation) is not generic but coupled to the
HelloWorld application. We can easily loosen up this strong coupling and make the aspect completely reusable. For more information about that, read the next tutorial.

Over the last few years I've accumulated quite a few old illustrated album covers. This week I thought it might be fun to have a look at a few of them.
This first one is from Happytime Records (a great name for a record label, in my opinion).
The style of the artwork looks vaguely familiar... but I can't quite place it.
Its wonderful, in any case.
Illustrating album covers back in the day wasn't just a Happytime - it was also Playtime!
No idea who did this one either. The back of the jacket shows a few other Playtime album covers...
... and I found one of those which I believe was by the same artist on Flickr.
Here's yet another fun album cover, this time for a classical composer.
No signature on this piece but I have a sneaking suspicion its by Don Silverstein. (Maybe Harry Borgman, who knew Don personally, will confirm or deny that for us).
Next, a fabulous cover from 1958 signed "Gersten."
Many thanks to Neil Shapiro, who informed me that this is the work of an illustrator named Gerry Gersten, whose work and career is presented in a post on this blog.
Finally for today, here's a hilarious album cover. I would have bought this record just for the front cover, even though it isn't illustrated!
Happily, it does have a great illustrated back cover - for those who dig, you know, actual "chicks."
Cartoon chicks, that is.

[quote author="eucaryote"][quote author="made_maka"]
The "dirtiest" little girl I knew, growing up, was my Mormon friend. She had an insatiable appetite for innuendo and perverse speculation and an uncanny ability to scout out pictures of naked people in the most unlikely places. For instance, in the Victorian novel Trilby. (This novel by George du Maurier introduces Svengali to English literature.)
Are you suggesting that Cyndi's apparent fascination with sex, ("dirty"), was a function of her mormon upbringing? Maybe she got a chance to act out with her non-mormon friends. It's like the more we repress something natural the more it wants to express itself. Conflict….
I'm not sure. EVERYONE was repressed then, and ALL of us were naughty little girls fascinated with sex. Cyndi's folks were very protective in general, but we all knew there was something "dirty", "wrong", "impure", "sinful" and/or just "unhealthy" about sex. Which just made us more interested. Maki's parents were probably the most liberal and sophisticated but even they thought exposure to sex was not wholesome for children. I remember more "acting-out" among my nonCatholic friends, but that may just have been because I knew them better (few of my schoolfriends spent time at our summer cabin but all my neighborhood friends did). We really were outrageous in terms of the things we got up to. All the time knowing that they had to be secret.
I recall when I was "that age", we had Playboy! It would get passed around. What did you think that boy scouts did on their campouts. I guess I have Hef to thank for what I take to be a little bit of sexual sanity I enjoyed as a child…...ahhh! miss november, 1962. 8)
Yeah… looking up certain words in the dictionary and staring at gray offprints of Trilby weren't all that.
My brother went to college when I was 2 and never came home again, so I never had the chance to run across a Playboy until that summer trip to France in high school. Deprived.

(Cardiff, Caernarfon)
Enjoy a whirlwind private guided tour of Mid and Northern Wales as you base yourself in the beautiful village of Betws-y-Coed, in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. Discover the majestic Brecon Beacons National Park which spans 519 square miles of beautiful mid-Wales countryside and contains some of the most spectacular and diverse landscapes in Europe. The landscape in Wales is scattered with prehistoric monuments, Roman remains and medieval castles, spectacular waterfalls, caves and wooded gorges, along with distinctive upland formations which all make for a wonderful canvas for an enjoyable vacation. Annwyl to Wales! (Welcome to Wales!)
Meet your driver for a private airport transfer.
A welcome package with a city map, train tickets (if relevant), and any other touristic information that we deem you may find useful will be waiting for you upon your arrival at your first hotel on your trip.
Leave Cardiff this morning in the comfort of your private vehicle and in the company of a knowledgeable driver-guide as you go exploring for the day. Today's destination is the pretty town of Betws-y-Coed, but there are lots of great things to see before you get there... First on the agenda is Snowdonia National Park - the first designated National Park in Wales. The park covers 823 square miles of the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside in North Wales. Take in the expansive views before continuing on to Llechwedd Slate Caverns. Set in 2,000 acres of land above the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, it has been an active, working slate mine since 1836. A unique underground experience will take you deep into the mountain to explore the mysterious world of the Victorian slate miner.
At days end, you'll be brought to your accommodation in Caernarfon.
You will be picked up from your accommodation in Caernarfon, and taken by private car for your full day tour today.
Begin your day on the scenic Snowdon Mountain railway (open March - October) which will take you to the summit of Snowdon (3,560ft or 1085m), the highest mountain in England and Wales. This majestic mountain dominates the dramatic ancient landscape and scenery of North Wales. This is a truly spectacular railway journey.
Next on the agenda for the day is a visit to Caernarfon Castle. King Edward I intended this castle to be a royal residence and seat of government for North Wales. In 1969, the castle gained worldwide fame as the setting for the investiture of HRH Prince Charles as Prince of Wales.
Continue onwards to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, translated as "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of St. Tysilio near the red cave' - the town with the longest place name in Wales.
Next, head to Bryn-celli, probably the best known and most famous Neolithic site in Anglesey. Regarded as a monument of the Bronze Age as well as the New Stone Age.
The final stop of the day is at Llandudno, Wales' most enduring archetype of a genteel Victorian seaside resort, before you are returned to Betws-y-Coed.
Today you will be privy to a scenic drive through the heart of Mid-Wales on your return journey back to Cardiff with your private driver-guide. Enjoy time in Hay-on-Wye, the 'Town Of Books', with its maze of narrow ancient streets, housing over 35 bookshops with over a million books for sale - a mecca for second-hand book and antiquarian book lovers! The town is located on the northernmost point of the Brecon Beacons National Park and lies on the Welsh border in the county of Powys. Continue onwards passing through the narrow Gospel Pass which weaves a tortuous route onto the glorious roof of the Black Mountains. The Black Mountains affords vast views across the Brecon Beacon National Park and distant view of tiny villiages. (subject to weather conditions). At days end you will be dropped off in Cardiff.
There are lots of restaurant options to choose from both in Cardiff city centre as well as Cardiff bay. If you like Italian cuisine, you may like to try Positano's (9-10 Church Street tel: 029 2023 5810) or Giovanni's (38 The Hayes, tel: 029 2022 0077) which has a great family atmosphere and an impressive array of Barolo's and Chianti's. Alternatively, consider Bullys - (5 Romilly Crescent, tel: 029 2022 1905). Bully's uses seasonal produce from Welsh providers, complemented by a unique French wine list sourced from small, passionate growers. If you feel like venturing outside of the city and to Cardiff Bay, consider Woods Brasserie - a contemporary restaurant situated within the iconic pilotage building of Cardiff Bay. The restaurant has a modern conservatory style dining room, a comfortable bar area and a balcony offering views of Cardiff Bay. (Pilotage Building, Stuart Street tel: 02920 492 400). Another option in Cardigan Bay is the Pearl of the Orient, situated in the opulent surroundings of Cardiff Bay's mermaid quay development. The restaurant offers the first Cantonese, Peking, Malaysian and Szechwan cuisine in Cardiff in a contemporary, relaxed surrounding. (Mermaid Quay, tel: 029 2049 8080). Of course, you may simply like to take a stroll through the city centre and decide what catches your fancy this evening.
Cathedral 73 is a dignified Victorian townhouse with funky, fashionable 21st-century accommodation. The rooms and suites are bold and beautiful lovely accommodation and amenities designed to make your stay truly unforgettable.. Expect the highest levels of service but they're relaxed and laid-back when it comes to atmosphere and ambience. They serve afternoon tea the proper, traditional way – then transform themselves into a trendy piano bar in the evening.
The Black Boy Inn Caernarfon, North Wales, has been offering hotel style accommodation and dining of distinction for more than five centuries. Situated in the heart of the Royal Borough of Caernarfon, within the medieval town walls, the inn has charm aplenty with its roaring open fires, oak beams and all the Welsh character that its age and location suggests. Black Boy Inn is minute's walk away from Caernarfon's famous 13th century castle; a looming, fantastical World Heritage Site. Nine hundred yards further is the starting point of the Welsh Highland Railway, offering a journey through the fabulous scenery of the Snowdonia National Park.

The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

Balance neons by using them in small doses

Intensely colored accessories such as these photo frames add punch to spring decor. Offset the intensity with crisp white or darker hues that will simultaneously tone them down while showing them off.

Bright neon yellow accessories like these Mariposa candleholders add a punch of color to spring decor.
Highlighter hues and glow-in-the-dark tints provide a shot of adrenaline after a few seasons of mellow, mushroom-y color palettes.
Of course, these colors aren't for everyone. But if you're ready to play, here are some fun options and expert advice on how to go sassy but stylish.
Tanika Nayak, an interior designer and shelter-show host on HGTV and the Food Network, loves bright hues. She says the key is to make them look up-to-the-minute and not circa 1983.
"Use neon in small doses," she said. "You don't want to blind anyone. My favorite use of neon is against a crisp white backdrop. In a dining room, start with a glass table, white walls and pop it with bold colorful neon dinnerware, placemats, and vases -- affordable and fun."
Nayak said balance is everything when working with these powerhouse hues.
"If you have a big, colorful personality and really want that bedroom or bathroom to glow, then go ahead and paint the entire room with your bold color. But balance it with white, black, gray or even a pastel. For example, a bedroom painted in bold green neon can work if the bedding, rug and window treatments offset it with a calming white and/or a pale soft blue," she said.
Take the same tack with a bathroom; add light-colored towels and mat to cool things down.
HomeGoods has some well-priced accessories, like bright orange and green ottomans, a ceramic lamp in citrus, a large selection of colorful kitchen tools and mirrored decorative boxes.
Brooke Jones offers an array of tangerine-hued home accessories at her online shop. A little elephant and a set of dinosaur-topped jars are part of the collection.
"I want to make color accessible to everyone," Jones said. "Painting a wall a bright color might not be realistic, but people can still bring in that fun, bright pop of the unexpected through home accessories. I hope my work inspires people to take chances and not take decorating too seriously."
Los Angeles-based designer Byron Samayoa's laser-cut coasters embossed with elemental information were not initially intended to be neon acrylic.
"The coasters found their way to neon via the creative process. My original Idea was to start with a wood set and a clear acrylic set, but every time I went back to my samples, the neon ones always stood out from the rest."
Canadian textile artist Christine Skaley Reid works out of her studio in Mission, B.C., creating eclectic throw pillows in color-banded and right-on-trend '70s-style floral prints. Fuchsia and pink set the trendy tone.
At Z Gallerie, find several great pieces in a zingy chrome yellow, including Mariposa candleholders, the Palmer ceramic stool and Pasadena picture frames.

|Velma Darby, RN is the December 2012 DAISY Award Recipient
Congratulations to Velma Darby, RN, BSN, CPN who is the December 2012 Daisy Award recipient. Velma is an RN in the Surgical Neuroscience Unit (7-North). The DAISY Award is presented monthly to an All Children's Hospital Nurse who has provided extraordinary service to our patients.
My two and a half year old grandchild would get sick for two hours after each feeding. I thought she was congested. When Velma came on duty I was frustrated and told her that the baby was stuffed up and asked if there was anything that could be done. Velma said she could use a machine along with saline to help break up the congestion. She had the right idea. After she suctioned the mucus out of the baby's nose, she was no longer gagging and was able to hold down two ounces of formula to meet her feeding goal in order to go home.
"Velma comes to All Children's Hospital with 15 years of nursing experience," said Melissa Macogay BSN, RN, CCRN, Director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Surgical Neuroscience Unit. "When Velma interviewed with us, she indicated a need to find a "home" after years of travel nursing. We knew she was a perfect fit for our team. She brings exceptional pediatric nursing experience, diligence, integrity, and patient advocacy to this job. She demonstrates service excellence and lives our service standards on a consistent basis. Her peers, patients, and families speak highly of her extraordinary nursing practice. We are so proud of her."

Comments about Sram X.5 Front Derailleur:
Had this on my new Marin. Used it for a while but I did not like the action. The shifter ergonomics have nothing to do with this deraileur, but I did not like the shifters as well. Switched back to my Shimano SLX. Sorry SRAM, I tried it and didn't like it but I'm still a die hard RockShox & Avid rider!

Well this is great news. So now you're just as happy with a panexperientialist defence of C as a panpsychist one! Well its a step in the right direction at least. Just have to get you to panprotoexperientialism & we're home!
Panpsychism or panexperientalism, same thing to me. I do not agree with the proto part, because it implies emergence, and then the problem remains identical. Same goes for neutral monism. It seems like positions for people who are unwilling to take a stance or afraid to consider that C can be fundamental.
Srrr - I would not rely on linguistic similarities to make a point. I think the semantics of emergence can be gleened from the statement "Such a system has no a priori objects or laws, and is evolved using a bootstrap system". This really is a claim for strong emergence within his model that is also "panexperientialist in character". So if you want to take on Cahill's version of panexperientialism then you will also have to support his idea of strong emergence. The only way that would be possible is if his version of panexperientialism is a weak version, i.e. it is really panprotoexperientialism - which is something that seems compatible with "my" materialistic monism…
Well read the paper again, he uses the term "emergence" in so many different ways that its lost all its meaning. A system with no objects or laws does not imply emergence. He mentions that the whole thing is basically a selforganising (semantic) information processing system. I dont think he says anywhere that noninformation emerges from that. Also if you remember my objections to emergence, i always said the only examples of emergence are conscious examples, and others have pointed out that emergence it is a psychological phenomenon, not a physical one. The mind is much more flexible than physical ingredients as described by physics.

BLACKFOOT — Bingham County commissioners recommended a public hearing be scheduled in Aberdeen to determine if there is interest to extend the runway at the Aberdeen Municipal Airport.
Airports are required to pass an inspection certification each 10 years, said Nathan Cuvala from T-O Engineers in Boise. His firm was hired to inspect the Aberdeen Municipal Airport. Cuvala presented the idea of extending the runway to the county commissioners in mid-December.
BLACKFOOT — The doctors and other medical personnel at Parkway Surgery Center are proud of their state-of-the-art equipment.
Included among the items intended to provide the best medical care are a new carpal tunnel device, a new high definition colonoscopy machine and two new anesthesia machines.
"The goal of this new equipment is to have the best care we can for our patients," said Wendy Nugent, the clinical administrator at the facility.
IDAHO FALLS — Idaho Falls Police are investigating a three-vehicle crash which killed a 56-year-old Shelley man on Friday.
According to the IFPD, Matthew R. Marriott died on the 400 block of West Sunnyside Avenue about 8:39 a.m. when he crossed over the center line and crashed into two westbound vehicles. He died at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.
Police released Marriott's identity on Saturday morning.
The investigation into the crash is continuing.
BLACKFOOT — Tonight, Bowers Collision in Blackfoot is offering free rides home for potentially impaired drivers and his/her vehicle this New Year's Eve.
Call 785-9676 for this service.
The pick-up service begins anytime today and will end at 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
"We have limited seating," said Doug Bowers, owner of Bowers Collision. "Our plan is to take you and your car home.
"We want to be helpful," he said.
Call the business at 785-9676. It will ring through to cell phones.
The service is limited to the Blackfoot area, "so we can take more calls," said Bowers.
BLACKFOOT — Whether you are looking for a reason to get fit in the new year or if you are an avid runner looking to set a new personal record, today is the final day to register with early bird pricing for the Tommy Vaughn's Marathon and More set for May 19. Regular pricing will be in effect until April 15.
The event will feature several race lengths including a full and half marathon, 10K, 5K and a one-mile run for kids. Proceeds from the event benefit the Community Dinner Table.
BLACKFOOT — Students took advantage of 4-H day camps Wednesday at the University of Idaho Extension office in Blackfoot.
In the morning, one group sewed pajama pants while another group practiced microwave cooking for breakfast/lunch/dinner and holiday treat items.
In the afternoon, students prepared eats that were cool to make. Another group designed table settings with menus to match.
IDAHO FALLS — With the NBA season officially underway, two men from Eastern Idaho are offering a new way to attend Utah Jazz games in Salt Lake City.
Idaho Jazz Bus, a new business created by Bonneville High School senior Landon Belnap and his mentor Owen Hamilton, provides same-day round-trip transportation to the Jazz home games including tickets in the upper bowl.
Hamilton said he has held onto the idea of creating the business for a few years, but it wasn't until Belnap said that he needed a senior project that his idea finally came to fruition.
BLACKFOOT — While warm temperatures today may feel like a spring day to some, another storm is on its way bringing additional rain and possibly snow Friday and Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures are forecast to reach the upper 40s today and tomorrow, but will quickly drop back below freezing Saturday and Sunday.
Rain is expected to arrive this evening and continue through Friday night. Snow levels are forecast to drop to valley floors Friday night. A slight chance of snow remains Saturday.
BLACKFOOT — Thanks to generous donations and willing volunteers, the Blackfoot Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign raised more than $5,000 and exceeded expectations this year.
The campaign, which runs from Thanksgiving to Christmas, raised $800 more than last year and is nearly double the amount raised in 2009.
The Southeastern Idaho Community Action Agency's Bingham County office is the local Salvation Army service extension. SEICAA coordinates volunteers for the kettles and collects and distributes the funds to the local community.

Celebrating the Child Life Profession...
Child Life Specialists recognize that hospitalization can be a traumatic disruption in a child's development and the functioning of a family, and they strive to reduce the negative impact of this stressful life event. They value play as an essential, natural part of childhood – important in its own right. Play facilitates healing, coping, mastery, self-expression, creativity, achievement and learning, and is vital to a child's optimal growth and development. Play is an integral aspect in the practice of Child Life.
At All Children's Hospital, specially trained Child Life Specialists make up part of the multidisciplinary team that makes a children's hospital unique. The All Children's Hospital Child Life Specialists, Music Therapist, and Academic Coordinator work together to provide services at our 216-bed inpatient facility, the emergency room and our Tampa Specialty clinic. Each of these trained specialists is knowledgeable in the application of theories of child development, play, stress and coping, and the family systems that make up the basis of our work with children. Each of the specialists is bachelors or masters prepared and has completed a semester long internship to prepare them for the work they do with sick children. In addition, the Child Life Specialists, Music Therapist, and Academic Coordinator working at All Children's Hospital have passed rigorous certification exams.
The Child Life program at All Children's Hospital is committed to excellence in its efforts to provide effective psychosocial support to its patients. The Child Life Program provides developmentally appropriate play, informative and reassuring psychological preparation before and during procedures, and helps children plan and rehearse coping skills. It is part of the interdisciplinary and family-centered model of care, collaborating with the health care team to develop a plan of care with families. The Child Life team develops a plan of care that is based on a child's perception and understanding of the anticipated experience with the goal of enhancing their ability to cope. They teach children coping strategies for adjusting to life-changing injury, offer non-pharmacologic pain-management techniques, and communicate the child's developmental and individual needs to the care team.
On an average day, a Child Life Specialist at All Children's Hospital might work with a child, helping them to swallow pills so they can be discharged, or they may engage in medical play and teaching, to help a child who has been newly diagnosed with a serious illness to cope and understand. They might work with the siblings of a child who died, helping them to understand and to say good-bye. Some days they will see patients to support and prepare them for the procedures and experience in the Emergency Room. Every day, they offer opportunities for children to play, to work through their emotions, to master challenging and traumatic life events, to express emotions and to reduce anxiety produced by the stress of hospitalization.
Child Life Specialists also work to support families, to help them to cope with the challenges of parenting their sick child, and the siblings who are often scared or lonely as they too try to understand and cope. They work as part of the multidisciplinary team to bring understanding and perspective. Child Life specialists are an essential part of what makes a children's hospital unique.
The Child Life profession got its roots in the early 1900's, when play and recreation therapists and schoolteachers were hired to organize activities, provide schooling and psychosocial support for listless, bored children who often were hospitalized for long periods of time for chronic illnesses. In 1965, the Association for the Care of Children in Hospitals (later named Association for the Care of Children's Health ) was formed. The goal of the organization was to create child and family friendly hospital environments. From this organization, the Child Life Council was formed. In the 1970's, the theoretical basis for child life work, the essential elements of the professional practice and the goals of educational programs to prepare students were defined.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the provision of Child Life Services is a quality benchmark of an integrated child health delivery system, and an indicator of excellence in pediatric care. Child Life programs and the kind of services they provide are an essential component of family-centered care.

Greg Biffle has 10 starts at Indy, earning three top-five and six top-10 finishes.
Grant Enfinger finished fourth in Sunday's ARCA Racing Series race at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville New Jersey.
Chris Buescher finished 11th in Saturday's NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC.
Kurt Busch finished 10th in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway to keep his perfect streak of top-15s alive this season.
The bad news is that Kevin Harvick scored his second-worst finish of the season when he crossed under the checkers in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The good news, that was still enough for his 11th top-10 in the first 12 races of this season.
Denny Hamlin suffered migraine-like symptoms late in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte and held on to finish eighth in NASCAR's longest race of the year.
Brad Keselowski finished seventh in each of the past two races, both of which were run on similarly-configured, 1.5-mile tracks. His Coca-Cola 600 top-10 at Charlotte Motor Speedway came after starting sixth.
Ryan Newman scored his third straight top-10 with a sixth at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the Coca-Cola 600. It was also his 10th top-12 finish in the last 11 races.
For the second week, Martin Truex Jr. had the strongest car on a similarly-configured, 1.5-mile track but he lost the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway due to a strategy call. He was the highest-finishing driver who did not stretch his fuel mileage.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was one of four drivers who finished in the top five in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway after gambling on fuel mileage. He finished third after passing Matt Kenseth in the closing laps.
Greg Biffle scored his best result of the season when he crossed under the checkers second in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In pre-race coverage, we predicted this would be his first top-10 on an unrestricted, intermediate speedway and he beat that projection by a significant margin. Several spots were earned because of his fuel mileage gamble, however.
Kyle Weatherman won the ARCA 150 presented by Unique Pretzels at New Jersey Motorsports Park Sunday, leading the final five laps for his career-first ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards win.

Perfect Thank You & Christmas Card
My husband and I got married in October and decided to do a combination thank you and Christmas card since we'd be sending them at about the same time anyway. I did a lot of research online to find a card that would work well for this and that had a flexible design that allowed for customization. When I came across this card, I knew it would work perfectly. I deleted the text on the inside left panel, and that's where we'll write a personalized thank you note. I'm very pleased with the overall look and quality of the cards. I can't wait to get them in the mail!
Beautiful Card - Excellent Service!
I have used MagnetStreet for my save the dates, wedding invitations, wedding programs, and now my newlywed Christmas card! Everything has been beautiful and the service has been excellent. This Christmas card is wonderful and I loved how much I could personalize it!

Quality Deer Management (QDM)
Quality Deer Management (QDM) is a management philosophy/practice that unites landowners, hunters, and managers in a common goal of producing biologically and socially balanced deer herds within existing environmental, social, and legal constraints.
Why Supplement Feed?
Deer are well suited to survive almost any environmental extreme. Interestingly enough, the one factor-affecting deer more than any other is nutrition! Dr. James C. Kroll, one of America's top deer biologist who has produced more than 40 record book bucks, notes that there are three keys to deer management: nutrition, nutrition, nutrition. Give deer adequate nutrition, and they'll reward you with trophy class antlers.
Benefits of Wildgame Innovations
Attract deer and provide high quality nutrition simultaneously! Great tasting, Highly-digestible Hi-Protein source! Calcium (for antler, teeth, and bones) and Phosphorus (vital component of protein in soft tissue) correctly balanced at 2:1 necessary for antler growth and skeletal development.
