545 Tasting Notes
1.5 tsp for 300mL water @90C, steeped four minutes.
A very enticing blend. Creamy heft from the Assam, muscat from the Darjeeling, wineyness from Keemun, fruitiness from the oolong, and a hit of jasmine. Drinking my second cup in less than an hour. Soothing and delicious.
I find this one tastes better when made with slightly cooler water.
1.5 tsp for 300mL water @ 100C, steeped 4 minutes, drunk bare.
An excellent Assam. Bold, not bitter. Notes of freshly baked bread, roses, and sunshine. Medium to heavy body. Drenching Assam taste. Good malty pucker but not so astringent as to tear the mouth off ya. Sweet notes. I prefer it steeped a little longer.
I have been passing through their catalog lusting for all the tea paraphernalia. (I may have purchased a couple of potty teacups but we won't say for sure.)
Stash carries gorgeous stuff. They were the first tea company I fell in love with. Back in university, 1989 onwards … the cafeterias had Stash bags, and I fell hard for the Orange Spice and Jasmine Spice. Some of their herbal blends were just plain weird, but I admired the creativity. Some of their teacups — oh, I swoon over them.
1.5 tsp for 330mL water @100C. Steeped 4 minutes. Drunk bare.
Oh my GAWD.
It's been a long time since I've had any Black Needle Yunnan, and this tea from Stash is very, very good. Liquor is dark brass. Notes of honey, musk, pepper and minerals. Clean finish. My favourite Yunnan. I forgot the leaves can be re-steeped and am kicking myself for tossing my leaves after just one cup.
Worth every penny, even shipping.
1.5 tsp for 300mL water @100C, steeped four minutes, drunk bare.
I am desperate for a hit of Assam.
There is Assam in this delicious blend.
There's also a fair bit of Keemun, I think, which can get bossy, but the Assam notes come out as the tea cools.
Damn Fine has never let me down.
1.5 tsp for 300mL @ 100C, steeped 4 minutes, drunk bare.
I am completely OUT of Assam. How the hell did this happen? The Tiger is not roaring. The Captain is lost at sea. Even the Gingia Estate tin is bare. I have some Kopili Estate Assam on its way to me, but damn it, I need Assam right now.
Scottish Blend will have to do. It's not got the assertiveness, deep malt or raisin-y notes of some Assams, but for a CTC Kenyan (?) blend, it does very well. Plenty of black tea taste and body, provided it's not oversteeped — I find at around 5 minutes its get all acidic and dark. Clean and mild finish. Dependable, and always better than I think it's going to be.
1.5 tsp for 300mL @ 100C, steeped 3 minutes, drunk bare.
A creamy Ceylon, lots of body and heft. I like it better at 3 minutes versus my former 5. Bright and brisk, with some pucker, and a very comforting scent.
There is no bergamot in this tea. It's just straight up blended Ceylon.
This would be lovely cold-brewed for an iced tea. It also cries out for an afternoon tea party, with sandwiches and cookies.
1.5 tsp for 300mL water @100C, steeped 4 minutes, drunk bare.
Some days, only Assam will do. My body craves Assam, craves something in those leaves that's not in Darjeeling, let alone any non-India tea. No idea what that is. I still love Yunnans and Darjeelings and Himalayans and Keemuns and oolongs, but nothing can replace a good Assam. Steepsterite Claire recently commented she likes for her black teas to not only wear Doc Martens but kick her with them; a good Assam does that.
This Assam Gingia is a second flush and quite strong. Notes of malt, of course, but not suck-your-mouth-dry malt, molasses, honey, freshly baked bread,and sunshine. No bitterness. On a winter day, with yet more snow coming down, it's a dire necessity. It's TEA.

Judging by your charming presentation Anna, you seem to be blithely oblivious to the destructive impact your alleged solution to the alleged problem of man made global warming would have. You talk as if, on the one hand there is the high probability that the next generation is doomed and the "whole planet will be destroyed" (yes I would call that alarmism) unless we follow your agenda, and on the other hand that all that agenda will cost us is some pretty windmills, biking to work, and re educating some miners and loggers into Green jobs. That's not the way it is.
When we started burning fossil fuels to power the industrial revolution there was less than a billion people on the plannet, and their life expectancy was below 40 years. Fossil fuels enabled us to raise our agricultural, industrial and technological productivity to sustain 7 billion people, double our life expectancy, and provide most of us with opportunities that pre fossil fuel generations never dreamt of. That is what you are playing with.
You say that not curbing emissions of CO2 is taking an enormous risk with our children's lives, I say that curbing emissions is taking an enormous risk with our children's lives. If all you do is replace a few coal fired plants with windmills you will wast a lot of money for zero effect on CO2 levels. If you want to have any chance of having any effect on CO2 at all you will have to close down coal mining for starters - in the hope that this might reduce CO2 levels and the hope that this might effect the climate and the hope that the effect will be beneficial and the hope that the beneficial effects will be greater than the costs. And I say hope advisedly - the idea that Al Gore, Tim Flannery, Michael Manne et al have now got it right after being so wrong up to now is to preposterous to be taken seriously (I leave James Lovelock out of it since he has been honest enough to say: oopse, us alarmists seem to have got it wrong).
I think you consider yourself a humanitarian Anna, so I would like to make this plea on behalf of the six billion human beings who would not be here if it were not for CO2 emitting fossil fuels: get the hell out of our lives!

Often, before I learned, did I wonder whence came the multitudes of pictures that thronged my dreams; for they were pictures the like of which I had never seen in real wake-a-day life. They tormented my childhood, making of my dreams a procession of nightmares and a little later convincing me that I was different from my kind, a creature unnatural and accursed. In my days only did I attain any measure of happiness. My nights marked the reign of fear - and such fear! I make bold to state that no man of all the men who walk the earth with me ever suffer fear of like kind and degree. For my fear is the fear of long ago, the fear that was rampant in the Younger World, and in the youth of the Younger World. In short, the fear that reigned supreme in that period known as the Mid-Pleistocene.
Author Bio
John Griffith London came from a poor family and, as a boy, dropped out of school to sell newspapers and do odd jobs to survive. His father deserted the family and refused to acknowledge London as his son. The boy went to sea, was a gold miner in the Klondike, and worked as a war correspondent; he was also jailed for vagrancy, a traumatic experience that reinforced his deep distrust of the capitalist system and his embrace of socialism. London's fiction is imbued with the rugged living he experienced. During his prolific career, he wrote over 50 books: short stories, novels, and other works. Although enormously successful, London eventually went into debt, and was plagued by personal demons, including alcoholism. He suffered from kidney disease and died at the age of 40 of a morphine overdose that was probably intentional.

Heard it's at 4:07.
Can anyone confirm?
I'd prefer to assume that it will not happen.
I don't believe they have scheduled the Thursday games. They just announced Wed. games earlier today. I assume they will announce time sometime tomorrow. There are four possible games on Thursday. Would guess that Cinn. mostly likely to play in afternoon because of smaller tv market and eastern time zone.
Gotta love these awesomely terrible times in an attempt by Bud Selig and MLB to maximize TV revenues....:thumbdown:
im hoping a wednesday or thursday game wont be necessary
Really hoping we close this down tomorrow but does that at all mess up the rest schedules (too much rest) for the LCS rotation?
There's been some talk here in DC that the extended rest from season end may have been part of the problem for Gio and JZim. Personally not sure about that--think they just played like crap in STL.
If you have a twitter account, a good way to keep with game times is @mlb or @ken_rosenthal (from Fox Sports). Both post new times almost immediately. There are a couple fake Ken Rosenthal accounts, but real one is verified with the blue check.
They did set Thursday game time for 1:15 pm on TBS.
1:07pm to be exact. via MLB public relations
1:07. So stupid. A game 5 would be a frikin business day special
MLB.com has tomorrow's (Wednesday's) game at 4pm. I sure hope that doesn't change because Nats/Cards is at 1 and I'll be at that game. Can't have two at the same time I don't think? Small market or not, that wouldn't be revenue maximizing.
Looks like for Thursday, they did the same thing just reversing the order so Reds/Giants Game 5 (which, for the love of God, won't be necessary) before Nats/Cards Game 4.

BigDogs tweaked gps file.
And a big thanks to Gary once again----who is going on this ride whether he's got a bike or not
I tweaked Garys' file just a little----added a few waypoints to notify you of an approaching optional track.
Added a waypoint for Bo's Hollow---hard to miss, but give it a look see--what a hoot that place is.
Added a waypoint for a particularly deep creek crossing so you can get your propeller extended.
Be sure and stop at Devils well-----I've always by--passed this because I just didn't know any better---and on another ride I went to it----it is awesome. Walk past the parking lot and go down the steep stairs to the bottom.
Also----at the waypoint "Fence".
I recommend going about a mile past this waypoint-----turn around--get a full head of steam---riding way over your head---way too fast----as you crest a hill you'll realize it's way too late to make the corner and you'll start braking---but it's too late, and you are done for-----so you start sliding and sliding and sliding----and slam right into the wire fence------- be sure and get tangled up in it really good-----go clean over the handlebars taking in the nice view at altitude on the way----lot's have done this----including me
Bonus points given for "style"---"altitude"--"the look on your face" and "cus words".
Until you've done this your really not a swinging bridge expert.

Health care is a hefty expense in the United States, and over the years has contributed greatly to our nation's debt. According to the article written by John Ydstie, the Congressional Budget Office recently stated that the deficit is about to be one-third the size in 2014 than it was in 2009, which prompted the Great Recession. The high cost of health care also threatens funding to government assistance programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. This poses a huge problem because in a country with... Read More

A d-dimer test is a blood test that measures a substance released as
a blood clot breaks up. D-dimer levels are often higher than normal in people
who have a blood clot.
This blood test may be used to help diagnose a blood clot in the leg
(deep vein thrombosis).
This test may be used to check your risk of a blood clot in a lung
(pulmonary embolism) after you stop taking
anticoagulants. The test can help your doctor decide if you should not take
anticoagulants anymore or if you should start taking them again.
A low d-dimer test result may mean that a deep vein thrombosis or
pulmonary embolism is less likely. A high d-dimer test result may not always be
caused by a blood clot in the leg or lung.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
This study will determine:.1)if rice cultivars differ in grain arsenic accumulation,.2)how do changes in soil chemistry as a result of organic or conventional management practices relate to arsenic accumulation in rice grain,.3)to what extent does milling reduce grain arsenic content as compared to brown rice, and.4)how do different rates and organic fertilizer amendments impact soil chemistry and grain arsenic accumulation.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
Grain and soil samples from studies conducted previously under organic and conventional management practices will be analyzed for total arsenic content. Soil samples will also be analyzed for pH, organic matter, and mineral content. Treatments include rice varieties, fertilizer amendment products, fertilizer rates, and years. Grain samples will include whole grain brown rice and whole grain milled rice. Grain arsenic and soil chemistry assays will be performed through a commercial lab. On samples that are high for total grain arsenic, speciation analysis will be performed to determined inorganic and organic forms of arsenic. Results will be used to determine to what extent choice of variety, post-harvest processing, and fertilizer amendments can be used to minimize grain arsenic content under organic production systems.

I am creating a world as some of you might now and the time came to populate it with creatures and I thought I'd start with the ones that live in water, and because I got good crits on other forums I built upt he courage to post it here and get it torn to shreds as it usually happens
this is the first batch I did
and here is the second one where I've started drawing basic stickfigures next to them to show the size
(I know this one ahs some serious shading problems which will need fixing)
I would like to hear crits and comments and whatnot but try not to be too harsh on the "they don't look like they could...", keep in mind they're fantasy creatures for a fantasy world where not all the same rules apply

No background for reference negates any real discussion regarding Light Sources.
These are not developed enough to apply standards regarding Texture.
You don't want crits regarding the improbabitilies of some of the anatomy you are creating, such as "fins would be longer, those wings wouldn't hold up, etc.", so the elements of Size, Space, Shape, and Form are irrelevant.
So, what exactly are you wanting to hear about these?
About the only areas to comment on are Line and Value.
All of these show very similar "striping," because your values are not based on any light source to vary the amount of highlighting, so you end up with values too extreme, with no subtlety.
Your lines are over-emphasized because you cannot render depth properly without better control of your Values.
Asspats are all that's left to give.

September 16th, 2005 #3
I didn't say I don't want any of those, I just asked for your crits to not be based solely on anatomy...
and I was going for "the standard" top left corner light source to aid me with the shading
and what exactly would be developed enough to apply standards of texturing?
I agree though it would look better if they were actual developed pictures with all the environment and all that, but these are just designs, I don't really see a need for a whole piece when you just want to make a fantasy creature... or am I mistaken?

Darwin's Doubt is by far the most up-to-date, accurate, comprehensive and in-depth review of the evidence from all relevant scientific fields that I have encountered in 40 years of studying the Cambrian explosion. An engaging investigation of the origin of animal life and a compelling case for intelligent design.
— Dr. Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig, Senior Scientist (Biology), Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, Emeritus, Cologne, Germany.
Stephen Meyer's new book Darwin's Doubt represents an opportunity for bridge-building, rather than dismissive polarization — bridges across cultural divides in great need of professional, respectful dialog — and bridges to span evolutionary gaps.
— Harvard geneticist George Church.
It is hard for us paleontologists, steeped as we are in a tradition of Darwinian analysis, to admit that neo-Darwinian explanations for the Cambrian Explosion have failed miserably. New data acquired in recent years, instead of solving Darwin's dilemma, have rather made it worse. Meyer describes the dimensions of the problem with clarity and precision. His book is a game changer for the study of evolution and evolutionary biology. Stephen Meyer points us in the right direction as we seek a new theory for the origin of Cambrian animal phyla.
— Mark McMenamin, paleontologist at Mt. Holyoke College and author of The Emergence of Animals (Columbia University Press).
Stephen Meyer elegantly explains why the sudden appearance of animal forms in the Cambrian period gave Darwin pause. He also demonstrates, based on cutting-edge molecular biology, why explaining the origin of animals is now not just a problem of missing fossils, but an even greater engineering problem at the molecular level. With mathematical precision, he shows why the neo-Darwinian mechanism cannot produce the genetic information and novel proteins — or systems for regulating their expression — that are required to build new animals. An excellent book and a must read for anyone who wants to gain understanding of the very real — though often unreported — scientific challenges facing neo-Darwinism.
— Dr. Russell Carlson, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, director of the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, at the University of Georgia.
Darwin's Doubt is an intriguing exploration of one of the most remarkable periods in the evolutionary history of life — the rapid efflorescence of complex body plans written in the fossils of the Burgess Shale. In laying out his case for intelligent design (ID) based on this evidence, Meyer has emerged from the "ID wars" of the past decade as perhaps the most thoughtful and engaging advocate of this controversial perspective. No matter what convictions or beliefs one holds about evolution, Darwinism or intelligent design, Darwin's Doubt is a book that should be read, engaged and discussed.
— Dr. Scott Turner teaches biology at the State University of New York. He's the author of The Tinkerer's Accomplice: How Design Emerges from Life Itself (Harvard University Press).

Amazingly beautiful evolution
Why is it so phlipping hard for Philip Harding to think properly?
From Scoop 22-04-2013:
Charter Schools Give Opportunities to Teach Discrimination
Monday, 22 April 2013, 2:55 pm
Press Release: New Zealand Principals' Federation
Let's review their press release.
Charter Schools Will Provide Opportunities to Teach Discrimination
The ACT party's proposed charter schools will open the door to religious groups to teach Kiwi kids discriminatory practices, including that same sex marriage is wrong.
It is hard to believe just how daft this piece of writing is. Does Mr. Harding, president of the New Zealand Principals' Federation, not realise that the law practices discrimination ALL THE TIME. That is exactly what the law is intended to do.
It may surprise Mr. Harding, but the new [marriage] law will also discriminate — against Christians and Muslims and many others. Yes, it will discriminate in just the same way traffic laws discriminate against people who drive on the wrong side of the road. Yes, the new law will discriminate against those who don't agree with same sex marriage, and it will also discriminate against polygamists and children, neither of whom have a lawful right to marry whomever they choose.
I dare say that New Zealand school principals also practice discrimination. Yes, I'll bet some cold cash that they discriminate against betting at school. I bet they also discriminate against students who cheat in exams, beat up other students, or swear at school principals.
'Just as New Zealanders are celebrating the latest legislation change that brings an end to discrimination against same-sex couples having the right to be legally married, we are opening up a whole new opportunity for discriminatory practices to flourish,' says President of the New Zealand Principals' Federation, Philip Harding.
What exactly does Mr. Harding mean by "Just as New Zealanders are celebrating…"? Does not know that New Zealanders are NOT overwhelmingly in favour of this new law. Did he fail to educate himself with the 17,000 vote TV3 poll in which 78% of people were OPPOSED to the bill. Is Mr. Harding really this ill-informed? Was this Press Release reviewed by others in his organisation, and if so, are the rest of his staff likewise uneducated in this matter?
There would be nothing to stop any group setting up a charter school and teaching Kiwi kids that discriminatory practices are to be valued and that evolutionary theories of science are wrong.
Notice how Mr. Harding mixes his morality with evolutionary theory. This guy really needs to listen to Kim Hill's interview from last Saturday morning with Professor John Lennox from Oxford University. Like Kim Hill, Mr. Harding just does not get it. Perhaps I should quote from Professor Richard Dawkins or Professor Will Provine. Yes, these darwinist atheists agree with each other that if darwinism is true then there is at rock bottom no right, no wrong, just matter in motion. Yes, free will is an illusion and the wrongness of rape is a social construct.
Notice the irony, and the lack of thinking. Mr. Harding wants to prescribe his morality on 78% of New Zealanders, yet at the same time wants to cuddle up to a theory that removes any basis for logically prescribing any objective morality. And if Mr. Harding's moral values are "no right, no wrong…" then why should anyone really care what he thinks anyway? Oh, that's right, it's not about right and wrong — it's really about power. Yes, the power of Mr. Harding to force his spaghetti bowl morality upon the rest of us.
As for evolutionary theory, perhaps Mr. Harding would care to do what Richard Dawkins (cowardly — not my word, see this link) has failed to do, and step up and debate his beloved theory.
'Interest in charter schools from religious groups has been significant,' said Harding, 'and the religious beliefs they follow are inconsistent with the values of wider New Zealand society,' he said.
The significant interest Mr Harding refers to is presumably PRIOR to this latest law being passed, in which case what exactly is his point? And of course we really have no idea what 'significant' means because Mr. Harding failed to educate us sufficiently by defining "significant" and providing a numerical figure.
'There has never been any evidence that the New Zealand tax payer is crying out for another choice of school and no political party, including John Banks' ACT party, promoted such policy during the last election campaign,' said Harding.
This is self refuting and illogical. In the previous paragraph Mr. Harding says that "interest… has been significant" and only one paragraph later he is claiming the opposite: "There has never been any evidence that the New Zealand taxpayer is crying out…".
Seriously, if this what the sort of buffoonery that is coming from the leadership of New Zealand schools, then I hope every child moves to "another choice of school". And shame on Mr. Harding for tarring the New Zealand Principals' Foundation with his poorly reasoned politics and 'morality'.
Sam Harris, the New Atheists, and anti-Muslim animus
Here at the Guardian (3,868 comments and counting)
A long overdue debate breaks out about whether rational atheism is being used as a cover for Islamophobia and US militarism
Two columns have been published in the past week harshly criticizing the so-called "New Atheists" such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens: this one by Nathan Lean in Salon, and this one by Murtaza Hussain in Al Jazeera. The crux of those columns is that these advocates have increasingly embraced a toxic form of anti-Muslim bigotry masquerading as rational atheism. Yesterday, I posted a tweet to Hussain's article without comment except to highlight what I called a "very revealing quote" flagged by Hussain, one in which Harris opined that "the people who speak most sensibly about the threat that Islam poses to Europe are actually fascists."
Shortly after posting the tweet, I received an angry email from Harris, who claimed that Hussain's column was "garbage", and he eventually said the same thing about Lean's column in Salon. That then led to a somewhat lengthy email exchange with Harris in which I did not attempt to defend every claim in those columns from his attacks because I didn't make those claims: the authors of those columns can defend themselves perfectly well. If Harris had problems with what those columns claim, he should go take it up with them.
Wow, this got really heated, and the personal correspondence between Sam Harris and Glenn Greenwald was also posted. Someone should mention to the neo-atheists that their beloved secular Europe is falling to Islam in large part because secular atheistic Europeans are failing to breed fast enough. Survival of the fittest anyone? Someone should also mention to Harris that he spends too much time moralising, and that he should grow up and be a real atheist and speak honestly as Will Provine does (2 minute video).
That said, what I did say in my emails with Harris – and what I unequivocally affirm again now – is not that Harris is a "racist", but rather that he and others like him spout and promote Islamophobia under the guise of rational atheism. I've long believed this to be true and am glad it is finally being dragged out into open debate. These specific atheism advocates have come to acquire significant influence, often for the good. But it is past time that the darker aspects of their worldview receive attention.
Yes, Harris and his mates attack Christians with lines like "science flies rockets to the moon while religion flies planes into buildings" which is of course a veiled attack against Islam, while also being an attack against logic, akin to saying that all atheists are like the darwinist Adolph Hitler.
Financial Post: Climate changing for global warming journalists
Lawrence Solomon: Climate changing for global warming journalists
The overwhelming consensus on global warming among journalists may be cracking. Last week, the world's most prestigious newsmagazine – The Economist – backed away from its past alarmist position, saying that "If climate scientists were credit-rating agencies, climate sensitivity would be on negative watch." The Economist now discounts the high-end estimates of warming coming from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as being unlikely if not far-fetched.
No free Will for evolutionist Dr. Will Provine
I like (and respect — yes seriously) honest atheists.
Current Trends in Darwinian Book-Reviewing
When Stephen Meyer's Signature in the Cell came out, prominent Darwinian scientists at least waited till the book was published before reviewing it without reading it first. You may recall the famous Francisco Ayala review at the BioLogos website that gave no evidence — in fact, gave counterevidence — that Dr. Ayala had even cracked open the book to read the Table of Contents, so grossly did he misstate the argument.
Now they're going after Meyer's forthcoming book, Darwin's Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design, not only without having read it or held a copy in their hands but without even waiting for the publication date.
See www.darwinsdoubt.com for more details.

Product Reviews
Arc lamp is large
We purchased this lamp for an open space with high ceilings. It has taken some time to get used to and we have moved it several times trying to integrate it into our space more effectively. It was tricky to assemble and we probably wouldn't have chosen this lamp if we had known what the switch looks like. As far as quality of materials, it is fine (exception noted--the switch). The price is also very reasonable and fair. Base is filled with sand and can be difficult to move.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color was as posted on site
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality is ok--the floor switch is plastic and hard to conceal.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? We checked the size many times and were still surprised. The base and lamp, itself, are much larger than it appears in the photo

A Tale of Two Detroits, Parte deux
March 25th, 2012
Today was a real Detroit day, what with our bike excursion and the Marche du Nain Rouge* (did not attend, alas, not hipster enough). So our second outing of the day was to give Joe the Matty Maroun Depredation Tour. Most of the outrages can't be captured on camera. Mr. M is one of the most wealthy persons in Michigan or maybe the whole country. He's got a finger in a lot of pies. One of his money-makers is the Ambassador Bridge, which goes between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. A lot of trucks and business go over that span everyday.
Where to start... Immediately next to the bridge is a public park. After 9/11/01, Mr. M decided that the bridge was unsecure with a public park next to it, so he fenced off the park and put up a sign that said because of homeland security the park was closed. It took 10 years to get the fence down.
He was contracted by the State to rebuild the entrance to the Bridge, which is right off I-75, so instead of building according to the plans he submitted to the state and federal government, he built what he wanted and took over several city streets, closing access.
Then he decided that he wanted a second bridge. We want a second bridge too, Windsor wants a second bridge. But where Mr. M wants it and where Windsor, Detroit, the State of Michigan, and the federal government want the second bridge are two different places. He wants the second bridge right next to the first one. Everyone else wants it a ways away. The big difference, besides location, is of course, ownership. The second bridge would not be owned by him. Notwithstanding, he started building his second bridge.
The neighborhood where this all plays out is one of the oldest in Detroit. The oldest (Catholic) parish is located there, St. Anne de Detroit. It's also very close to Mexican Town, and an up-and-coming night club scene.
And it's also the location of the infamous Michigan Central Railroad station, which is featured in any film or music video set in Detroit. So of course, here's my shot of the place, from behind.
We ended our tour with a stop at our favorite downtown local, Foran's Grand Trunk Pub.
*look it up.

A Tale of Two Detroits, parte une
March 25th, 2012
Today Pete and I did something that I've been wanting to do for a while. We tossed the bikes in the back of the car and went downtown to ride the Dequindre Cut. What, you may ask, is that? It is a former railroad right-of-way that has been converted into a bike/walk-way. There used to be a commuter train that went from the northern suburbs (my dad took it on occasion) to downtown Detroit. But commuter trains are antithetical to Motown, so they don't exist here anymore. Instead we have a sunken park surrounded by the city, including lots of abandoned buildings. Voila, the entryway to the park:
We also enjoyed the riverfront where there were lots more people strolling and biking.
My impressions from the trip.
Sight: lots of people of all ages and races. Lots of dogs too. Along the cut, graffiti is encouraged
Smell: slightly fishy fresh water smell, one of my favorites (see all the fishing poles).
Sound: heard a pheasant, red wing black birds, and bagpipes.
Touch: my butt gets sore after bike riding for a while
Taste: we had some ice cream as a Sunday in Lent treat while sitting outside the RenCen.
We also rode around the neighborhood a little. It's a combination of old buildings, many abandoned warehouses, and some more modern buildings. There are even old brick streets.
Here's a picture that captures the dual nature of the area (old/new, abandoned/thriving)

More knitting.
March 24th, 2012
As I said before, inspired by Melanie, I decided to knit for length. So with the 4 skeins of yarn I bought at the Santa Katarina market in Rivoli last fall, I made a wrap, selecting a pattern from A Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara Walker. This particular book is her first book of knitting patterns and it is just knitting--no directions on how to make sweaters or other objects, just knitting patterns and it is up to you, the knitter, to figure out how to use these patterns. So I picked a nice looking pattern and made it into a wrap, which in my mind is a wide, long scarf.
Here is the wrap when it's all knit but not blocked:
Here it is after blocking:
Since I finished it and blocked it, however, the weather has been in the 70s and 80s. Not really suitable for wool. Fortunately, the temperature has gone back down to something more normal for this time of year!
Query for any knitters out there: when you're doing a cable pattern where do you put the cable needle in between cable stitches?

Still knitting
February 7th, 2012
It's hard to squeeze in with everything else going on, but I am still knitting too. I just finished a pair of nordic style men's socks, started and finished within a month. They turned out pretty good. I am more than half done with a pair of socks that I-ahem-started in 2009 on my trip to Israel. The bag with the unfinished sock reproached me everytime I saw it, so I finally got my nerve up to look at how much was left to do--basically one whole sock. It's doable!!
In the spring I started a lace scarf with laceweight wool. The problem with lace is that it requires a lot of concentration, so I can't do it with company present or often even with the tv on. So that got set aside. I looked at it the other day. I really like the pattern, so I hope to get that one going again.
While in Italy, I was inspired by my sister's massive knitting output. I bought some yarn there and decided to make a wrap out of it, basically an extra wide scarf. I was going along pretty well with that, then made a mistake in the pattern and at the time, couldn't figure out how to correct it, so that got set aside.
With my collection of unfinished projects, I take after my mother. She recently gave me a bag with a sweater that she started several years ago that she finally decided she would never finish. On the other hand, I'd like to emulate my sister in Italy who cranks out LOTS of knit stuff. One of her secrets is podcasts. I'm gonna try that--I think I could knit lace and listen to podcasts.

Home Sweet Home
January 13th, 2012
Detroit, the Renaissance City. The City's motto is incredibly apt: Speramus Meliora; Resurget Cineribus. (Roughly, we hope for better things, they will rise from the ashes).
I have been reading various blogs that are written by young hipsters with families who are "urban pioneers."* They write about their adventures in the City, about how it's not that bad, about how things will get better (vid. Motto). They are amusing blogs to read, many are well written, and many have excellent photography.** I applaud the attempts by these bloggers to raise awareness of life in the City, but sometimes their pioneering spirit gets on my nerves. Some of us just go ahead and do it.
I did have that enthusiasm once, though. Detroit was known as the Renaissance City back then too. I raised my sons in this city, they graduated from high school in the city, one graduated from college in the city. I have worked my whole life in the city. Somewhere in that time, though, I lost that loving feeling. Yes, most of downtown is better now than it was 20 or 30 years ago (in some aspects). But stray too far off the main streets of downtown and you're back in a wasteland.
I just don't think a handful of hipsters living near downtown is going to change the city. Sorry. The "business as usual" mentality here is too entrenched. It's always been my belief, too, that this city will only attract large numbers of productive, tax-paying residents (i.e., middle class families) if the schools are fixed. The public schools in this city are a disgrace and have been, despite repeated, drastic attempts to fix them for many, many, many years.***
When my kids were pre-school age, there were several families living on our block with kids the same age. One parent suggested that if we all sent our kids to the neighborhood school, we could make a difference. She was probably right, but when push came to shove, no one wanted to put their child's education in jeopardy sending him or her to a substandard school. (One parent did and her son only lasted through kindergarten.) The parent who initially advocated public school ended up sending her sons to a very expensive private school in the Pointes. By mid-grade school, most of those families had moved to the suburbs. My sons graduated from high school in Detroit, but it was from a private school less than 2 miles from our house.
I visit other major cities like Pittsburgh, Chicago, Indianapolis and I see what city life could be like and I despair. I have given up hope that Detroit will rise from the ashes.
*and white. If you're a black hipster raising a family in Detroit it's not pioneering.
**I don't want to put in links, but if you're interested you can look for a blog about a Belle Isle home, one about Detroit being the next Hamptons, junipers that are sweet, and links from those blogs.
***Schools, obviously, are not the ONLY problem. There are many other problems that sociologists and urban planners have been wringing their hands over for years. Maybe fixing the other problems would fix the schools. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

New Year's Day Plus One
January 2nd, 2012
Yesterday, 1-1-12, was kinda dreary and ugly, raining most of the day. Today we went out and enjoyed the last day of vacation taking a walk at Cranbrook, one of my favorite places to walk in the city. It was cold and snowing lightly, and there were very few people there. We had a good walk (and then a great lunch at Lockhart BBQ).

End of the old year reflections and beginning of the new year reflections.
2011 was a difficult year for many of my friends. Some got unwelcome medical diagnoses; some had work issues; some had deaths in the family. It was a hard year for many people around the world. i think in particular of those living in Japan and dealing with the huge disruptions in everyday life from the earthquakes and tsunami. For me it was just another year with ups and downs. Another year of going to a job I don't particularly like, another year of violin lessons; another year of yoga (on the plus side, 2 times a week!). A year of helping friends deal with losses and unwelcome medical diagnoses. I hope that I have been of some help to my friends in need. I lost a little weight (yay), gained a little back, but less than I lost, so that's good. I played the violin in church a few times, notably all by myself for part of the prelude on Christmas eve. On the other hand, my husband's work situation is bad and not getting any better, unemployed and not looking for work while still dealing with the fall-out from his last job. My job in family court is depressing and unrewarding. It's a paycheck and health benefits. And I get vacation time at the job, so I spent a week in Italy, a good trip!
What about 2012? I will continue to pray for the health and safety of myself, my family, and my friends. My doctor wants me to lose more weight. I'll try but I don't want to be so focussed on weight that I lose sight of living. I will continue to help my friends to the extent possible. I don't foresee any major changes in my life in the next year, and that's good! Generally, it's a quiet and undramatic life and there's nothing wrong with that.

Small-Group Day Trip to Salisbury, Stonehenge and Avebury from London
- Visit magnificent prehistoric monuments in Salisbury and Avebury from London
- Discover Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral and Old Sarum
- Explore unique ancient sites with your knowledgeable and friendly guide
- Small-group tour limited to 16 people ensures a more personalized experience
- Transport by comfortable mini-coach
Why Our Insiders Chose This Tour
This is a day of dramatic sights, from the towering spire of Salisbury Cathedral to the spellbinding stone configurations of Stonehenge and Avebury. The more relaxed nature of a small-group tour and fewer crowds of Avebury make it easier to get your fill!
Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
After a short drive, arrive at the magnificent 13th-century Salisbury Cathedral, featuring one of the tallest spires in the country. Discover one of the oldest working clocks in Europe and the country's best preserved original copy of the major constitution from 1215, the Magna Carta. Take time to explore the city and have lunch in one of the nearby restaurants (own expense).
Pass beautiful villages of thatch and flint while taking the back roads through Woodford Valley. Arrive at the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge. Here, your guide will share mysteries, theories and facts of this enigmatic site, and will enlighten you about the different building periods, the stones' alignments and the people who worshipped here. Take time to absorb the powerful monument before continuing to other Stone Age sites in the area.
Go inside the 5,500-year-old Neolithic burial chamber of West Kennet Long Barrow and see the remains of the ancient people who once lived there. You will be stunned by the area's landscape, including Silbury Hill – one of Europe's tallest prehistoric structures. Finally, visit the stone circles at Avebury. Sixteen times larger than Stonehenge, this historic location features more than 100 standing stones and a circumference so large that the village of Avebury fits inside! Explore the ancient stones and quaint village, with its thatched cottages and pub, before returning to London.
Customer Reviews

This was a fantastic tour- smaller group,comfortable,more time,great access and knowlegable and entertaining guide. also excellent driver complimented the trip. Thematically linked tour was great.
August 2014
We had the best time on this tour. Tony, our Tour Guide, was so knowledgable, insightful, and funny. We so enjoyed listening to him throughout the day. His insights brought incredible depth to our experience. The sights were stunning, from the beauty of the Salisbury Cathedral and the historical significance of the Magna Carta, to the magnificence of Stonehenge with its stark setting in the middle of lush green fields, to the approachable and touchable stone circles of Avebury. We would definitely take this tour again. Our weather was sunny and quite warm, so you might want to bring along some sunscreen.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 12/18/12
The Cleveland Browns might be waiting until the end of the year to make decisions on existing personnel (Mike Holmgren and Dimitri Patterson excluded,) but they are adding to the corporate hierarchy. Adam Schefter reports on Twitter that the Browns have lured away one of Jerry Jones' "right hand" men. One of Jerry Jones' right hand man, Cowboys senior VP and general counsel Alec Scheiner, has agreed to become Cleveland Browns' president. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 18, 2012 So who, exactly is Alec Scheiner? Sports Business Daily has some clues. But Scheiner has made his mark in other ways in sports. As the general counsel for the Dallas Cowboys, Scheiner has his fingerprints on almost every key off-field decision, most notably the planning, financing and construction of the team's new stadium. Now with the stadium done, Scheiner is looking to broaden his role. "I have tried to transition my role a bit with the help of the Joneses and not pigeonhole myself into being just an attorney," he said. Apparently Scheiner has found an opportunity to be more than "just an attorney" as President of the Cleveland Browns. I am not sure exactly where that fits on the organizational chart below owner Jimmy Haslam and with relation to CEO Joe Banner, but I'm sure we'll find out shortly. "I am looking forward to this challenge with the Browns, which I view as a tremendous opportunity to start at the ground level with a new and exciting leadership group," said Scheiner. "Jimmy Haslam and Joe Banner have a great vision of what they want the Cleveland Browns to become and I am grateful to be able to be a part of it. The Browns are an iconic franchise with an outstanding fan base and tradition. Together, we hope to do incredible things for the organization and Northeast Ohio." Now, about that Jimmy-Dome… [Related:Grossi: Josh McDaniels and Mike Lombardi likely to become Joe Banner's puppets]

Mahesh and Pooja Bhatt are known for introducing new faces and their new film 'Dhokha' will see not one but four newcomers - Muzamil Ibrahim and Aushima Sawhney in lead roles and Abhay Sachchar and Raj Saluja in supporting roles.
Aushima is the granddaughter of Romesh Bhandari, ex-governor of Uttar Pradesh. After auditioning 62 girls, the Bhatts zeroed in on her.
'The minute Aushima walked in, Pooja knew she was perfect for the character of Nandini. She was selected. Hopefully, she will get good roles in other films in the future,' said a source.

Tree pruning
Tree pruning (with thorough clean-up)
A regular pruning program is essential for keeping your trees safe,
beautiful and healthy. The periodic removal of portions of the tree
is done to enhance the appearance and value of landscaping.
Additional reasons to maintain a regular pruning program:
1. The health of ornamental and shade trees depends on pruning.
2. Training the growth pattern of young trees.
3. Removal of dead, weak, storm damaged, crossing or diseased branches.
4. Reduces the risk of storm damage (ice, snow, wind).
5. Clear from buildings, homes, wires, streets, and drives.
Thorough cleanup is a focus to ensure the property gets left the same way we entered it, if not cleaner. We take pride in a job followed through from start to finish.

Grand Utah Roulette Day 4 (Part 2)
From Alstrom Point we make it to Big Water to refuel, eat a snack, and drench our clothing in water--nature's AC in the desert--before heading out again, slabbing on 89 west for a few miles to rejoin the original route that jakbrand had prepared to enter into Bryce from the south. Here we are as we turned north from 89:
The dirt road got narrower and sandier after this gate…
What happened next is not documented in pics and is the stuff you cannot plan…the sandy trail turns and climbs up a narrow canyon until, after a 90 degree left turn, it climbs up a veeery steep wall of sugary sand. The KTM 450 made it half way up the climb. The WR 250 about 1/4 of the way up. We both turned around and tried there times, same results…so we resigned ourselves to the inevitable, unloading of the giant loops, carrying them up the climb and walking the bikes. The KTM made it first after much huffing and puffing....
Then as we were starting to work on the 250, we hear the sound of another motorcycle. We know jakbrand and dwip were not ahead of us because the sand had been without any recent tire marks, but could this be them?…So we get the 250 out of the way as best we could and I walked down the climb right at the 90 degree left turn and yelled GO GO GO!!! as jakbrand stared
stunned at all the information overload: a maniac yelling go go go, a bike thrown to the side, a wall of sugary sand and his 530 leisurely putting along in first gear…he tried hard, but it happened, the KTM went down for the first and last time the whole week, something veeery seldom seen…
Then came Dwip, same result.... Jakbrand then turned around, got the 530 up to speed and second gear and sailed to the top effortlessly, like snowboarding on fresh powder.... Dwip tried a couple of more times and eventually we walked his bike up the climb. Finally jakbrand tried with the 250 three or four times, just not enough HP, and then he walked it up with Tbang's help.
So here we are resting in the shade at the top, in disbelief that we had found each other on that trail:
Jakbrand on the right, having the worst and longest coughing and
spell we had ever seen, surely a cracked rib would be possible, and Dwip smiling on the left, hoping, Herzberg Rodeo style, that he would be the last Grand Utah Roulette rider standing if jakbrand kept coughing…
Government is the negation of liberty--

Duane- I am attending the TIFF also (this is my 6th year) and I did enjoy 'Me and Orson Welles.' Christian McKay was tremendous as Welles. Did you enjoy the film? So far my favorite film has been Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire.'
I did enjoy the Orson Welles film. It's pretty entertaining. Its set in the 1930s and is about Welles modern dress staging of "Caesar" with the Mercury Theater. It stars Zac Efron of all people, as an eager up and comer who gets a bit part in the show, and is told from his perspective. It is by "School of Rock" director Richard Linklater, but does not have a distributor. I hope it gets one soon. Since October is the 70th anniversary of Welle's "War of the Worlds" broadcast, it is timely.
I did enjoy Orson Welles too. I see that Slumdog was announced as the People's Choice Award. That is cool and a worthy choice. Unfortunately, I am back in Milwaukee and I was only to see 22 films. My favorites were Slumdog, Zack & Miri, RocknRolla, The Burning Plain, JCVD, Nick & Norah's, The Wrestler, Sauna, Miracle at St. Anna's, The Real Shaolin, The Burrowers, Detroit Metal City and The Brothers Bloom. There were many films that I wanted to see, but I couldn't fit into my schedule or they were playing after I left Toronto. What were some of your favorites?

Wolf Still Pitching Up, Up, Up
Left-hander Randy Wolf insisted after Friday night's game that he is "very close" to being effective on the mound this year. He says that he feels great and that his pitches are close to having the location and movement that he desires.
"I felt great," he said. "That's the frustrating part about it, when you feel good and you feel like your stuff's all right. You just make those mistakes and they capitalize on them, and it's very frustrating. The one thing is I know I'm very close, but that's not good enough right now."
He feels he's close? Really?
The above graphic displays the at-bat results for Randy Wolf on Friday night against the Cubs. I drew a line down the middle of the strike zone, separating the top half of the zone from the bottom half for vizualization purposes -- and I also numbered the data points that represent base hits (singles, doubles, and home runs).
As you can clearly see, when Randy Wolf left the baseball up in the strike zone, the Chicago Cubs took full advantage. Eight of the nine hits that Wolf surrendered, including both home runs, were up in the zone. In fact, Wolf did not generate a single out with a pitch in the top half of the zone. Not one.
Wolf does not have the pure stuff to live high in the zone. His fastball is fringe average at this point, sitting in the 87-89 range with little movement, and his offspeed stuff is average at best. He gets by with changing speeds and keeping the batters uncomfortable -- which is arguably not happening at this moment.
If Brewers pitching coach Rick Kranitz and Randy Wolf have not yet had a discussion about keeping the baseball low in the zone, they best do that soon. Otherwise, the Brewers may be legitimately looking to keep Marco Estrada with the team as another option in the rotation because Wolf will continue to struggle with his current approach.
And for a team publicly stating that anything short of a postseason appearance would be a disappointment, they cannot afford to trot out a guy like Randy Wolf, who is essentially setting the ball on a tee for these professional hitters.
[UPDATE 4/9/11, 12:30pm -- per crichar3 request]
Randy Wolf has clearly struggled with balls left up in the strike zone this season, but what about during his successful second half with the Brewers last season? Was he finding success, yet still working high in the zone?
Below is a graphical representiation of another of Wolf's starts against the Chicago Cubs, but this was on September 11, 2010 -- where Wolf went eight innings and only gave up a single run.
The disparity between the two pitch charts is stark and obvious.
In Wolf's successful start against the Cubs last season, he worked the bottom of the strike zone and only made two real mistakes -- a double in the top right corner and the home run that was essentially center-cut.
This should not be surprising. A pitcher without overpowering stuff should find more success in the bottom of the strike zone than up in the zone. These two charts do not tell the whole story by any means, but it does speak volumes in terms of approach and command.
If Wolf can spot the baseball like he did in his September 2010 start against the Cubs and not his April 2011 start against the Cubs, he should be a useful back-end starter for the Brewers. If not, the organization will need to find a replacement by mid-summer at the very latest.
