Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to idontcarejustletmein
In case you guys were wondering. Day three back on Lion. Still smooth sailing to report. No more hiccups, stutters, crashes, or other delightfuls apple has seen fit to include in 10.8
But my sister did find out her HDD is crapping out on her 1 year old iMac and is affected in the Seagate Recall from apple. It's such great service she said. She gets to haul her machine to the store, have the drive replaced, lose all her contents, re install the HDD, and then reload her entire computer's contents back on. For a company that prides itself on being the best, they sure do their best to shoot themselves in the foot.

Oh... wow... it must be really hard to bring it in... A computer is not that difficult to move around. Perhaps you should help your sister out being it is going to be a difficult thing, and you should go with her. Bring your computer also. (you should have done that on page one of this thread). Anyways I do hope you help your sister out. Good luck.

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to Carlo TD
Carlo, I would if I could. And since she would be going by herself, it's not exactly a light computer. Plus, the last time she took something in, they were kind enough to scratch it and damage it. Personally, I'd rather crack my iMac open and do it myself as I have in the past. I have no issues getting into one of the computers despite Apple's constant attempts to thwart such efforts.
BTW, you are a troll Carlo. When you commented before about having me reinstall 10.8, I wanted to look above your comment. But seeing as you are simply here to have fun. How's 10.8 treating you? Enjoy the stu stu stut stutt stuttering..... =) I can see why others on here have said what they have to you.

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to BarrettF77
I do not have a speach problem. And my 10.8.x is working wonderfully. I have not been trolling, I have been giving suggestions for people to help. I admit my last comment was a bit on the side of trolling... but in retrospect... every single one of your posts have not been supportive but ranting and raving, and very negative. So it takes one to know one.

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to Carlo TD
If you aren't having the issues, then you shouldn't even be on this thread unless you actually have some sort of expertise in the matter. However, you don't and your posts reflect that.
And if I'm upset, I have every right to be. I paid how many thousands of dollars like many others who have posted on here? And you have the gall to sit and be a backseat driver trying to make suggestions to a problem you have aboslutely no experience with and couldn't possibly understand what it is like. The word obtuse comes to mind.
I may post on here and "rant". But I have stock in this problem, unlike you, and this affects my ability to generate income. I've never had this bad an issue for this long with any apple product before or with Microsoft. And when an intilligent person who understands IT as I do can deduce what it is and isn't as I have, then I think that has some worth despite the sometimes emotional delivery. Go find another post for a problem you aren't having and spout some silly tips over there. Thanks

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to tttxx
Finally got off Mountain Goat.
Took the full weekend, it was a battle every step of the way.
First off I own Lion because it came w my computer BUT Apple includes no instal disk, only Leopard, and has discontinued Lion downloads. Okay so right there, what?! That's a problem Apple.
Finally got a copy and did a clean install on two computers. BOTH locked me out at sign-on and required the recovery disk to reset the user password. A google search shows this is a known Lion bug. Oh but there is more in the bug dept...
Now finally have both computers up and running again with Lion and no audio troubles. Used time machine at setup to migrate. Clearly it became confused because now mail won't open (this version is not compatible error) yet Apple won't allow me to delete the app and reinstall an older version!!! Says required by OSX can't delete. Apple is so infuriating with their inflexible lock downs. It's one thing if it works, but it ain't working. Also more errors when trying to open system preferences (desktop, energy saver: "pane cannot open").
Also Apple IDs are a total mess, .mac, .cloud, mobile me, what the heck. I only want one and I want to pick the email yet it won't allow me to change it. They also are clueless regarding people who move around the earth. Requires new apple IDs for different country stores, local store is in foreign language I can't read, can't use US store because have foreign address...not allowed. It just goes on and on with the hassle. Inflexibility.
So it's working but issues.

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to MoogNinja
If you have a time machine backup from when you were on Lion, if you just do a Command R, tell it to restore the computer to when you had the last backup on lion, then you should be good. The other issues shouldn't crop up. Glad you made the switch too!

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to tttxx
Hi guys,
I have been having this issue for a really long time. The thing is i am DJ and its all hooked up to an external sound card , i get a static sound , its like the sound is unclear , it is also crackling and poping , the thing is i have the same issue when i connect my headphones directly to my laptop , but i dont get the issue when i listen through the internal speakers. I have tried everything , i rolled back to 10.7.2 , 10.7.3 , 10.7.4 , 10.7.5 , 10.8.0 , 10.8.1 , 10.8.2 . I keep pon getting the same issue . i am starting to wonder is it a hardware problem . I took my machine to the Apple Store here in bahrain . they keep telling me no issues with Audio output even thought they tested through Headphones. is it because i updated the RAM to 16GB i still cant tell cause the issue started prior to that but my attempte to address the issue were all after i installed the RAM . I simply dont know what to do the only reason i spent a fortune on my MAC is that it is known to be stable for Software Mixing. Honestly now i cant even hear the sound .
Please Help,
Hamad Omran.

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to Spooky_Instinct
guys please dont have a go at each other. im watching this thread waiting for that eureka moment when someone says its fixed or there's s a way and theres a bit of bad blood in the thread. Going back to the lion seems to be the only way out so far. works fine from my internet lion restore.it being such an obvious problem it must get fixed soon.these are not old models we are using in general. though it ***** to do it, im waiting in good faith for the fix, lioning away when i work on audio.i cannot deny i was furious about it at first, in a way relieved to find im far from the only one with this issue. I too had a phone call or two with the chaps at mac, got passed to someone more senior and got some kind of denial..bring your machine in there must be something broken with it. i said well i dont have the time ill just work in the previous system and get some work done thankyou. he knew my imac was under a year old. the robotic slow motion mac voice of calm and care also said 'we dont have a list of people reporting this issue". I said "well sir go online and look at your apple forum and would you like me to send you some links to other forums too?" Voice of calm and care sounded a little less calm and caring and verged on irritated.
That irritation is of course 3% of the 100% total that customers feel when they realise they are unable to work with their v exepensive tools.
Just to say. first couple of ML's had badness in the mail client. I went though that as well.bad! however its been fixed. So surely so will this eventually. next update?hope so

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to woodentopian
I had reported this issue a couple of times to Apple Care, with little reaction.
A guy called Lukas in Berlin said he would escalate it but I didnt hear anything. Asking him again a bit later he said he still hadnt heard anything.
I did a bit of investigating on who in Apple it might be worth contacting and sent an e-mail with a sample file to someone high up in Apple (Not Tim Cooke) and 2 days later I had an e-mail from a guy in Sacremento who wanted to talk to me. He called me, sent me the data capture utility which I ran and sent the results to him to as we spoke. He said he was aware of "a few instances" where this was happening and gave the impression that they were not sure of the cause. Next he asked if he could send me a replacment system, and have mine in its current condition for research.
Someone from my local Apple Care should be contacting me to arrange the exchange. I think its encouraging that they want my system to investigate the cause. I just trust that Apple Care follows through.

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to tttxx
Having worked with enough lawyers over the years I imagine they have been instructed to not acknowledge that the bug exists. Like I said, when I called a couple days ago the dude swore there was no such bug and they would have heard about it if there were.
They know, they just don't want to know.

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to woodentopian
I would like to add, that some of us might not even be talking about the same thing.
I just want to watch video on my HDTV ...
PS: I spoke too soon about the VLC reinstall. The whole audio dropping thing seem like it's completely random to me. Still it might be a problem with VLC - a bug that only go triggered with Mountain Lion.

Re: Sound stuttering after Mountain Lion install in response to tttxx
I'm after 5 day battle with that issue and may be able to help – at least some of you.
I have MacBook Pro 13inch early 2011 (i7 2.7GHz and 8GB of RAM, 500GB HD 5400 rpm)
I gradually upgraded to Lion and then recently to Mountain Lion. My issues started with ML upgrade. It was a gradual decline in performance – music became choppy and stuttering to the point that you cannot call it music anymore. The same happened with video.
I'm an IT guy with 20 years behind the belt I will spare you the details what I have been through with this issue over the last week.
After double figure reinstalls of SL, L and ML I have worked out that it has something to do with the hard drive read/write. Obviously the hard drive was (still is) healthy and Activity Monitor did not notice anything unusual.
I luckily had a 128GB SSD spare hard drive which I finally decided to put into my MBP. Clean install of ML and for the first time all started to work again. MacBook got very responsive and no more issues with playing HD video and obviously iTunes.
So, although I know my 5400rpm should be more than fast enough to play music somehow it chokes on Lion and Mountain Lion.
Few things to notice:
after downgrading back to Lion the music was still choppy, however, before my upgrade to ML it was working perfectly fine. The conclusion is that iTunes 10.7 (which now comes as standard) may the culprit (or one of them).
I have not tested on 7200rpm hard drive so can't say if that would sort out the issues.
Now I have ordered 512GB SSD drive for £300 from crucial and will put all back on.
This should be the end of the story for me..
I have many other observations during the troubleshooting ordeal but this would be to long for this forum.

Bath school advances to 1-act play state round
BATH — Morse High School's production in this year's One-Act Play Competition, which centers around a video store that wants nothing to do with DVDs and Blu-Ray, won the regional round March 8 and now advances to the state level.
Camden Hills Regional High School hosts that round on Friday, March 22. Morse, which performed at states in 2005 and 2006, takes the stage at 8 p.m. Morse is the only school showing an original student-written play at either Class A or B sites, according to Kevin O'Leary, an English and drama teacher at Morse with 11 one-act productions under his belt.
Morse's play, "Str8-2-Vid3o" (pronounced "Straight to Video") was written by senior Sophie Mayo. The comedy was one of nine school plays to be performed at Morse during the March 8-9 regional competition.
The state competition is followed by the New England regional contest in April.

Rutherfordton 7/8 All-Stars bow out of tournament
The run for the 7/8 All-Stars from Rutherfordton in the state tournament came to a halt Monday night, but it wasn't from lack of trying as they tallied 16 hits in an 8-7 loss to Coulwood-Oakdale who amassed 19 hits.
Rutherfordton shot out of the gates early and owned a 5-0 lead after just 2.5 innings.
Coulwood-Oakdale stormed back in the bottom half of the third with five runs of their own to knot the sore at 5-5.
The tie was short-lived, however, as Rutherford put two more runs on the board in the fourth inning.
Coulwood-Oakdale responded with a run in the fourth and two more in the fifth to take an 8-7 lead.
Rutherfordton failed to regain the momentum going scoreless in the fifth and sixth innings.
Elijah Stafford led the hit parade for Rutherfordton going 4-for-4 and scoring two runs while Audrey Scruggs and Isaiah Hipp each added three hits in the losing effort.
Nate Ellenburg finished the day 2-for-4 and Trey Shearer, Gage McFadden, Ken Hines and Jermany Harris each had one hit.
Rutherfordton finished the single-elimination tournament, 3-1.

Found this pic i took not too long ago on space mountain when it broke down. It really looks different with the lights on! Anyone have more pics of any rides broke down : )
Found this pic i took not too long ago on space mountain when it broke down. It really looks different with the lights on! Anyone have more pics of any rides broke down : )
I've never been in there with the lights on. I'm sure it would be a real different experience.
I wish that would happen at least once in my life. I've been stuck on Pirates but there wasn't much to see. Got stuck on the Matterhorn recently but it was right at the end before the station...lulz and in broad daylight!
Star Tours malfunctioned before the final flight check...C3PO didn't want to fly so we had to leave our flight and be transferred.
I have to ask, are those exit signs usually glowing when the ride is in progress? Or are they turned on with the rest of the lights?
Running is a mental sport and I am insane!
There is a YouTube video of space mountain with the lights on:
Space Mountain Disneyland Lights On - YouTube
i was on SM and got off and they said over the pa system" turn lights on"
i was MAD
Take a look at some of my models I make at kolbykonnection.com
I got to ride with the lights off, once. The experience is just not the same. It's still fun, but not as interesting. The track is so close together and it's rather plain-looking inside. Let's keep the lights off!
Princess of Agrabah and Queen of Never Land
Here is our breakdown from years ago. And when I say years ago I mean my daughter in the green shirt starts high school next year. Wow!
Stalking is when two people go for a long romantic walk together but only one of them knows about it.
Very neat!! Thank you for sharing!
here are a few from December 2012
ps. its not fun to have the cms push you back in, it goes alot slower
Briberry on YouTube just posted a brief "with lights on" she experienced a few weeks ago. 4 trains on the track simultaneously. Crazy.

I once got stuck on Space Mountain. Sadly, I did not get stuck inside the space part It was the beginning of the last hour of the night, and my friend and I wanted Space Mountain to be the last ride we went on before we headed home. We boarded the rockets and started our ascent. Our rockets literally reaches the end of the lift, right before we enter the space area and then stops! After a few minutes of waiting, the lights turned on. I was so excited since I have never been stuck on a ride before, especially since it was Space Mountain and it was known that if you get stuck, you get to ride the attraction with the lights on! But I guess the CMs decided that since it was the end of the night and Disneyland was going to close soon, there was no point in trying to get the attraction running again for the day. So they decided to evac us all, including the people inside the space part. We had to carefully climb out of our rockets and walk back down the stairs towards the loading area. At the exit, the CMs gave us the special Fastpasses for the inconvenience. Since it was the end of the night, all the rides had short wait times so the pass ended up pretty useless so I decided to keep it as a souvenir.
I still have that pass. It's a constant reminder of how I ALMOST got to experience Space Mountain with the lights on. It still makes me quite sad. But I still remain hopeful. One day I'll get to experience Space Mountain with the lights on. One day. (But please let that not be on Gumball Rally *knock on wood*)
It is so wierd with the lights on. Despite it ruins the fun of the ride. I would like to ride it with the lights on.
The new Star Wars plot summery:
Episode 7: Luke discovers that Darth Vader is not his father, and goes on a search for his real father
Episode 8: Darth Vader is resurrected and goes on Jerry Springer, claiming he is Luke and Leia's father
Episode 9: Princes Leia is not Luke's sister, making him furious (we all know why...).

Every year the community of Benito Juarez Elementary honors the school's namesake with a day long celebration that includes cultural performances, a fiesta lunch, and a carnival! In the last few years the school has also put on a car show!
Students are reminded of the legacy of Benito Juarez, a contemporary and friendly correspondent with US President Abraham Lincoln. A Zapotec indian, President Juarez had humble beginnings. He valued education and with perseverance became an attorney and eventually the most famous president of Mexico. His motto: "Al respecto derecho, ajeno es la paz... Respecting the rights of others is peace..." is reinforced with our students daily. With support from the community, Benito Juarez Day has become a much enjoyed annual event!
Benito Juarez Elementary was dedicated in the fall of 1962. Last year we celebrated our 50 year jubilee!
2012's celebration included an opening with alum Georgie Arroyo, who sang, rapped, and reminded students that learning is important for success! We also enjoyed a cultural music presentation from Saul Cruz and the Grupo Afro Meztizo, which gave students opportunity to dance and perform. Students also listened to a motivational talk from one of the group's members who has vision and speech impairments, and plays the harp most beautifully! Our fiesta lunch was delicious, and the school wide carnival was enjoyed by students and parents alike. Local car clubs including the Road Ramblers, and the Horseless Carriage Club of America treated our community to a car show that grows larger each year! Our Partners In Education from Mission Federal Credit Union manned the ticket booth and provided the grand prizes for the raffle: 2 new bicycles! Thank you to all of the other volunteers, supporters, and participants including AMC Movie Theatres, Boomer's Kearny Mesa, Costco Fenton Parkway, Daphne's Greek Restaurant, Domino's Pizza, McDonald's Murphy Canyon, Mimi's Cafe Mission Valley, YMCA Mission Valley, and YMCA PrimeTime!

A new school year is on the horizon, which usually means shopping for supplies. Whether you have kids or not, August is a good time to purchase clothes, shoes, office supplies, food, and more. And with the annual tax free weekend approaching fast, you'll want to create a smart shopping plan.
On the morning of Wednesday, October 23rd, fifteen students from Yes Prep North Central came to the Aldine Library for a service work opportunity. They broke into groups and thoroughly cleaned the inside of the library building. Outside, students picked up trash. When they were all done, the building looked fantastic! Thank you Yes Prep for making a difference at the Aldine Library!

It's official! Summer is over and the school year has begun. Like most Americans, I went to a public high school, but I always wondered what it would be like to attend a boarding school. I didn't actually want to live away from home, but boarding school always seemed so exotic. Fortunately for me and all the other kids stuck in public schooling, there are plenty of movies set at boarding schools in America and abroad. Most of these movies are realistic depictions of boarding schools now, but some are firmly set in a fantasy world. (I know I'm still waiting for my Hogwarts letter!) Sometimes boarding school really does look like the exciting place I imagined as a kid, but most often it has the same drama as a regular high school.
Whether you went off to boarding school each September or took the bus to a public high school, there are plenty of great movies set at boarding schools. Browse the HCPL catalog and request one today!

The Baldwin Boettcher Branch Library Mystery Book Club will take a look at our Universities through the eyes of murder, intrigue and mayhem. Does your favorite book take place at a University? Did Professor Plum get murdered after his lecture in the library? Find a book that has a setting, theme or character from an University and bring it to our Mystery Book Club. Present it to the group so we may expand our reading experiences. Join the Mystery Book Club on September 15th at 2 pm. We always have a good time talking about our favorite authors, books and of course food. Help us decide which subject will be good for October. See you on the 15th of September at 2 pm.
Summer is almost over and many children will begin returning to school this month. Often, students have the first day jitters starting school, or experience stress when entering a new grade.

Re: Make it hard for their customers, the customers will avoid the stores.
really? huh, i had no idea i didn't know the difference between value and price.
Sorry, I wasn't pointing a finger at any individual.
so even though the music store i frequented on a regular basis, guys who i'm still friends with, went out of business becuase of gc.
Sorry for that. Please explain to me how GC put them out of business. Is it because an abundance of buyers quit shopping at the store you frequented?
the second store i went to also went out of business becuase of them
Doubly sorry there.
, now i'm stuck with them becuase they're the only game in town anymore, it just so happens to be my fault. awesome! i guess i'm reaping the consequences of my buying practices for not shopping there till there was no place left.
I think you are taking my rant way too personal. Not my intention.
i suppose your also going to try to tell me they didn't buy out their competition
Not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying GC paid these 2 stores to go out of business, sort of a business deal?
i spent a lot of money in that store, and had good relations with some of the people there. but damned if i'll get screwed and ripped off and then accept blame for it too. nonexistant emapthy noted and easily done without
Look at why you spent ' a lot of money' in that store and ask yourself why you did not spend it with your friends store (some friend you are;) That may be a reason your 2 stores closed down. These 2 stores can't even get their friends to buy there.
Listen I am not out to denigrate anyone. Maybe my language was too strong and poor choice of words (cry) Sorry for that.

Walnut Cove commissioners disband police force
The board of commissioners in Walnut Cove has voted to disband the town's police department, leaving patrols with the Stokes County Sheriff's Office.
The Winston-Salem Journal reports ( http://bit.ly/19HyTRI) the board voted to approve a three-year contract with the Stokes County Sheriff's Office. Town officials have been working on the arrangement for several months in an effort to save money.
Thursday night's decision calls for Walnut Cove to pay the sheriff's office $128,333 for the first year and $140,000 each of the following years. Police Chief Chad Williams proposed a $289,000 budget for 2013-14, which would have funded four full-time officers and part-time help.
Stokes County Sheriff Mike Marshall said he will consider hiring police officers from the town if they choose to apply.

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter
By Nathan Smith
A mere two months after unexpectedly unleashing the murky instrumental collection Ghosts I-IV, Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor one-upped even himself by releasing a new studio album, The Slip, via nin.com — for free. This quiet appearance was in direct contrast to the promotional hubbub surrounding NIN's last proper studio album on a label, 2007's Year Zero, an album whose back-story encompassed fake Internet conspiracies and websites, alien invasions, leaked tracks and an intricate lyrical arc lambasting the U.S. government. In line with its stealth release, The Slip is far simpler; its lyrics address anger, confusion, frustration and defiance in flashbulb bursts of emotion. Sonically, The Slip is also more straightforward, foregoing the urban decay industrial onslaught of Zero for the nuanced synthpop of With Teeth and The Fragile's funereal instrumentals and heartbeat percussion. Somber, slow piano drowns out Reznor's barely perceptible murmurs on "Lights in the Sky," while the dull roars and eerie space of "Corona Radiata" resemble Brian Eno's ambient works, and white-noise distortion and jackhammering drum 'n' bass beats drive "Letting You." Best is the coy, gothic new-wave seduction "Discipline," a classic NIN single in the sense that its sinewy melody and pulsating hi-hat — along with lyrics such as "I need your discipline/You know once I start I cannot help myself" — suggest the torrid intermingling of sex and violence, restraint and passion.
The band's current tour (dubbed "Lights in the Sky") further blurs the line between NIN's ambient and aggressive side. At its recent Lollapaloza headlining slot, the band began by playing the first four songs from The Slip in order; the intensity built and built before peaking during "Discipline." Blinding versions of "March of the Pigs" and "Closer" (with an interlude of "The Frail") followed, revealing that time hasn't dulled the ferocious edges of those two Downward Spiral classics. But the set slowed with a mid-show break — featuring everything from twitching keyboard breakdowns (an electroshocked "Vessels") to Reznor playing the marimba (!) — which allowed the band to incorporate some of NIN's recent meandering material from Ghosts (as well as the über-creepy "Piggy"). All of this occurred in front of elaborate LED screens which projected various awe-inspiring scenes: an arid desert, orange-and-red sunspot staticky flameouts, a fisheye-camera-lens-filmed version of Reznor's face singing. Of course, it wouldn't be a NIN show without a big ending. And in fact, Reznor and Co. whipped up the intensity again with chaotic renditions of "Wish" and "Terrible Lie" — while the main set closed with the annihilating triumvirate "Only," "The Hand that Feeds" and "Head Like a Hole."

Reelin' In the Years
My experience as a Steely Dan listener began the same way as it did for most people my age: involuntarily. As a small child, my parents exposed me to countless doses of SD tunes, mostly from the first two records, Can't Buy a Thrill and Countdown To Ecstasy, as well as its magnum opus, Aja. As I grew older, my folks stopped spinning their old vinyl somewhere along the line, and I mostly forgot about these songs, filing them away in my musical subconscious along with other less-worthy offerings (Poco, Little River Band) and obscure gems (Nektar, Beautiful Day) alike. The Dan became a vague memory, a trippy, jazzy oddity in Mom and Dad's record collection. Aside from the occasional laugh at the goofball chorus of "Peg," I didn't think much about them until approximately two decades later.
In 2000, Steely Dan singer/keyboardist Donald Fagen reunited with his longtime writing partner, guitarist/bassist Walter Becker to release Two Against Nature, their first studio record since 1980's Gaucho. The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, apparently wracked with guilt for whatever part they may have played in allowing the band to disappear for twenty years, showered the album with a whopping four Grammy Awards, infamously snubbing public favorite Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP for Album of the Year. I had a good chuckle at this at the time, but otherwise paid no mind, even when Fagen and Becker were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the following year.
Then a few more years passed and along came Yacht Rock, the wildly popular Internet comedy series which focused on late '70s and early '80s soft-rock artists (and SD contemporaries) like Michael McDonald and Toto. One episode portrays Fagen and Becker as indecipherable nerds who mercilessly force their studio musicians through endless takes in search of studio perfection. Intentionally or not, this depiction isn't too far from the truth. And while the show's basis is a pointed jab at the silliness of the "smooth rock" phenomenon to which Steely Dan's later catalogue will be forever linked, it also uses their songs as a soundtrack. The best snippets of Steely Dan's songs, singles and B-sides alike, are allowed to speak for themselves (series creator JD Ryznar ultimately points to his rediscovery of Steely Dan as the inspiration for the show). Some credit Yacht Rock with sparking a renewed interest in the soft-rock era and bringing the songs of Steely Dan and their contemporaries to an entirely new generation. I can't speak for anyone else, but I can say without a hint of embarrassment that it was true for me.

The botanical easy-button has been pressed for this one. This is one of the most easily recognized of all American wildflowers. Whether you know it or not, youll surely be seeing red.
It is very widespread over near all of the eastern United States, east of a line drawn somewhere between the upper Midwest and eastern Texas.
It is seen in a variety of habitats, too: usually damp. It likes a mountain streamside, in the shade, but it also does well in freshwater tidal marshes near the coast. Otherwise, you can find it blooming away in bogs or damp meadows.
This species is a member of a rather large genus, with about 300 or so different species widely scattered around the world. Some of these species make great garden plants.
These species are more or less allied to the very attractive and showy bluebells, which are collectively known as members of the genus Campanula, and most botanical treatments have them as members of the bluebell family.
There is a considerable amount of controversy as to their accurate family placement; they may deserve recognition as their own, distinctive family.
Our showy red Mystery Plant is a perennial, coming up from a leafy base. The stems on vigorous individuals may be 4 feet tall, or even taller, and smooth, or slightly hairy.
The bright green leaves are alternate and lance-shaped, either smooth-margined or with a few jaggedy teeth. The flowers are always at the top of the stem, in a raceme. Each flower has a short stalk and a green calyx. The calyx is bowl-shaped at the base, but soon flares out into five sharp-pointed, spreading lobes.
The corolla is easily among the reddest of all wildflowers anywhere and up to nearly 2 inches long. These are extremely vibrant, sometimes almost seeming to glow. Photographers like to complain that the redness of the flowers is sometimes hard to capture with their craft.
The shade is somewhat variable, but this is a kind of red that the artists will tell you is a cool shade rather than a warm one.
Every now and then, these plants feature pink or even white corollas. The corolla is made up of five fused petals which form a tube and at the upper end are two prominent lips.
The lower lip is deeply divided into three sharp-pointed lobes. The upper lip is deeply split down the middle or cleft. Through this cleft arises a distinctive stamen tube with five stamens more or less fused together. The anthers are a pale blue-gray.
Various sorts of bees often visit these flowers, but they probably dont do any pollination. In general, bees tongues are probably too short for these flowers. It is hummingbirds that are likely the most effective pollinators.
If you study plant/pollinator interactions much, you will probably learn that hummingbirds tend to go for red flowers, or at least brightly colored ones, especially those that are tubular. Like this one.

Unstable floor, rotten floor boards and replacement
One thing we discovered when we moved in was that some of the floor joists had rotten away due to a small amount of damp. We discovered this when we removed the carpet and underlay and the corner of the floor was unstable.
I will do a full blog post on what we did but I have been spending this morning fixing new joists to the rotten joists to provide support. I then cleaned all the floor boards and sprayed them with cuprinol to treat wood and kill any dust, small pieces of wood that may cause cross contamination due to wet rot, dry rot and infestation.
The next step is to repair the two damaged floor boards, replace these and then start the job of sanding all the boards in the house followed by staining and protecting the boards.

Aurora, Colorado, Dark Knight Rises Shooting: Celebrities Tweet Their Shock and Sadness
At a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado, on Friday, a gunman opened fire, killing 12 and wounding at least 59 people. The tragedy shocked and saddened the nation, and outpourings of grief, condolences, and confusion have come from all over the US.
Many Hollywood stars took to Twitter to express their sympathy for the victims and their families, as well as the Colorado town. Filmmaker Michael Moore, who wrote and directed Bowling For Columbine — a documentary about the school shooting at Columbine High School — tweeted, "Too sad at the moment to comment." Other celebrities, such as Eva Longoria, Jessica Simpson, and Leonard Nimoy, simply wished to offer their thoughts and prayers to those affected by the shooting.
While some, CNN host Piers Morgan and author Salman Rushdie among them, used the incident to discuss gun control, others, such as Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder, simply reminded their followers to "stop hurting people."
Among the feelings of helplessness and sadness, Denver's 9News offered an important tweet: "In the wake of the #theatershooting, Bonfils Blood Center is asking for blood donations, especially O negative …"

At each #ArtHang, educators from The Museum of Modern Art invite art enthusiasts from around the globe to take a closer look at selected works of modern and contemporary art. We'll debate, discuss, interpret, and question-- all in a lively, real-time forum. At the inaugural #ArtHang, MoMA educators Lisa Mazzola, Jessica Baldenhofer, and Stephanie Pau will lead guests on a participatory, inquiry-based exploration of the theme of identity, with a focus on works by Cindy Sherman and Martin Kippenberger. Check back here on Thursday, April 4th, 6pm EST. Just before we begin broadcasting, we'll embed the YouTube link so you can watch right from this event page in real-time. In the meantime, follow us on Google+, Facebook (MoMA K-12 Teachers) and @MoMAlearning on Twitter (#ArtHang). Can't make it in real-time? Each #ArtHang will be archived on YouTube for playback anywhere, at anytime. Credit: Photo by Tiffany Oelfke

|Calling Photographers and Artists: Join us at the Weekend Art Marketplace. TO ALL PARTICIPATING ARTISTS - THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW UPDATES - PLEASE READ THE PARTS LABELED (NEW) AND (IMP) - THANK YOU! *Just what is Weekend Art Marketplace?* This weekend, November 10 & 11, and every weekend thereafter, is the Weekend Art Marketplace. So what is it? It's a time where G+ artists share their art with a worldwide G+ audience, and G+ art buyers can see what the community has to offer. *Ooh, ooh, I'm an artist. Can I participate?* Yes, you sure can! See the Rules for Marketplace Participation below. *What kind of art is suitable for the marketplace?* Photography, Drawings, Digital Art, Paintings, Wood Carvings, Music, Sketches, Caricatures, Cartoons, Origami, Poetry, Books, and no doubt others. It's all good! *Why participate in this marketplace?* Look at it this way. If you're not in a marketplace, you're a lone seller on an empty side street. When you join up with other artists in a marketplace, you're in a big store on the main highway, where 100 times more people can view your work. Is that enough of a reason? *So, how do I participate?* To list an item in the marketplace, do this: • Get the URL you want to display from your personal website, or from the website you sell from, whether it's Zenfolio, Smugmug, FineArtAmerica, or another. • Go to Google Plus, go to your "Share what's new" box. Click the link icon, paste in the URL from step one. Your artwork should display in the photo area. Or for a better viewing experience, upload a larger version of the photo from the photo link. Don't forget to put the website address in the G+ post! • If possible, just give your audience a bit more information about your art. Information the viewer might find useful or interesting. What are they seeing? What was your inspiration? • Feel free to create a Limited Time Promotion for your Google Plus viewers. • Add the tag #WeekendArtMarketplace. • Add +Matt Shalvatis to your circles. My name is for future updates and other features, like shared circles. *Rules for Market Participation.* • Remember that you are not selling here on Google Plus; you must link to another website where you sell your work. • If you have less than 50,000 followers here on Google Plus, you can post five items per weekend. ** • If you have between 50,000 and 100,000 followers here on Google Plus, you can post two items per weekend. ** • If you have more than 100,000 followers here on Google Plus, you can post one item per weekend. ** • Posting hours are 6 PM your local time Friday to 6 PM your local time Sunday (48 hours). • (IMP) Please use the tag #WeekendArtMarketplace on all posted items. This is how everybody can find you and the market! • Please use this tag only on weekends, on items posted within the 48 hour window. • Don't post multiple items at once. Spread them out over the 48 hours. • (IMP) You must +1 an

So it wasn't hot and sunny like usual. And it rained a little bit, but not much. The parade went on as usual! It was great fun. I haven't really had time to go through all my photos yet. This one is just the first that I liked.

"I started looking for a photo walk and came across reviews and website for Leanne. I contact her about upcoming tours and signed up for her East Harlem walk. The 3 hour tour, filled with great advice from a professional photographer as well as interesting facts about the neighborhood, was a highlight of my weekend. Normally I would not do a photo shoot in Harlem so it was interesting to get her perspective and visit a new area of the city.
She not only gave photography hints and tips, but she also offered personal conversation and anecdotes. If you're visiting NYC or you're a native New Yorker and would like to see and photograph the city in ways you might not think possible, book one of Leanne's tours. I will definitely sign up for another." - Keith, Brooklyn

Last week I had the pleasure of giving 2 tours to a woman from New Zealand and a full day tour to a man from Australia and a street photography tour to a man from New York City. It's so wonderful to meet people from around the world and even people from this city that I might not normally get to meet. I get to share my love and knowledge of this city with them and they share some of their experiences with me. Oh, and I tailor my tours to suit your interests.

When I give a tour of the city I also make suggestions of other things you might want to check out here based on your interests. There's some much to do here and it's easy to miss the hidden charm and a number of the independent businesses. My suggestion is get off the beaten track and see the real New York City!

So it wasn't hot and sunny like usual. And it rained a little bit, but not much. The parade went on as usual! It was great fun. I haven't really had time to go through all my photos yet. This one is just the first that I liked.

There are so many distinctly different neighborhoods in New York City! How do you even choose where to go and what to see? When my clients book a tour with me, we discuss through email or have a conversation via Skype or Google hangouts to determine their interests and which tour(s) will be the best for them. You can see more about my tours on my site.

When people visit New York City they often see various parts of Manhattan and sadly they rarely stray much farther. Manhattan has some fabulous neighborhoods to see and shoot. But there are 4 other boroughs! Oh, Coney Island! It is great for urban landscapes and street photography. Yes, we have (saltwater) beaches in NYC! You can book a tour off the beaten track with me.

Just some pictures from the special Disney exhibit at the Ronald reagan Library in Simi Valley, California (about an hour or so north of Disneyland). It's only there temporarily, so don't wait too long.
The original Herb Ryman drawing that "sold" Disneyland to the investors.
Walt's office as it appeared at Disneyland for all those years. Yes, we still miss it.
Walt's stuffed Mickey that rode the train with him on opening day.
More signs from the past.
The original dragon from Fantasmic!
Oscar from Country Bears. He doesn't look too happy to be gone.
Haunted Mansion memorabilia. I had that little 45 rpm record that told the story when I was a kid. I wish I still had it.
An evicted bride.
I'm not exactly sure, but I think these hitchiking ghosts are used at the end with the mirrors? I'm not positive. My daughter posing with them. Of that, I'm positive.
A pirate from you know what.
They also had some models from Walt Disney World, movie props and costumes, and a lot on Walt's earlier history, but since this is in the Disneyland section, I thought I'd limit my pictures to that.
It was a really good exhibit, although I would have loved to see more, more, more. If they opened a permanant museum like this that focused on the theme parks, extensively, I'd pay a pretty fair price to go see it.
