Brick Opening shot: A young man squats next to a stream, his head in his hands. What is he looking at? The body of a young woman, lying half in the stream. Next we jump to 2 days before, to follow Brendan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), an intelligent, cynical high school student, self-exiled from the cliquish world of jocks, stoners, and socialites. He is stoically heart-broken 2 months after being dumped by his girlfriend Emily (Emilie DeRavin), who left him to pursue that world. A frightened phone call from the missing Emily asking for help and filled with incoherent references to a "brick" and "the pin" prompts Brendan to launch back into high school society. He does this in the movie detective style of Sam Spade ("The Maltese Falcon"), shaking things up with a relentless directness punctuated by well-timed acts of cunning. Once found, Emily recants and asks Brendan to forget everything she said. Of course, we know from the opening scene that things aren't going to go well for Emily, and by this point we also know that Brendan isn't likely to back off from anything.
After Emily's death, Brendan starts looking for answers in earnest, slicing through high school society and the underbelly of suburban California like a weedwacker. Much like the detectives played by Humphrey Bogart in "The Maltese Falcon" and "The Big Sleep" this battered tough-guy keeps shaking the tree until the answers he wants fall out. His search leads him to the rich femme fatale Laura Dannon (Nora Zehetner), an underworld kingpin (Lukas Haas), and a handful of assorted thugs in a completely amoral teenage world. Battered physically and emotionally, he maintains his cool while playing all sides against each other in an effort to achieve some justice for the girl he loved.
In "Brick," writer/director Rian Johnson pays homage in wonderful style to the classics of noir fiction. Setting the story in the world of high-schoolers allows him to make use of classic detective story characters without seeming redundant. We have a beautiful seductress with ambiguous motives, a dangerous vamp (played brilliantly by Meagan Good, which sounds like a porno name for some reason), a crime boss and his hired muscle, and even a Vice Principal who fills the role of the police captain. Of course, Brendan is the classic loner private eye, moving through a world of scum but never allowing the dirt to get under his skin.
Language is both the strength and weakness of "Brick." Johnson drew heavily from the fiction of Dashiell Hammet (creator of Sam Spade) when writing the film, and that spare, 1940's style permeates the dialog. Suffice to say that these kids do not talk like high-schoolers. That's fine, because a stylized manner of speech suits these extremely cool, stylized characters and sets the proper mood. On the other hand, while the story of "Brick" is not wildly original, it is an excellent, riveting piece of noir fiction which deserves to be appreciated on its own merits and not just in reference to old Bogart movies. The Bogartesque lingo is entertaining, but it occasionally distracts from the story. Also, the linguistic style may simply be confusing and off-putting to audiences not familiar with the older films on which it is based.
Interestingly, none of the principal cast members were familiar with the literary and film sources from which their characters were drawn. This is remarkable, because their characterizations are so dead on, and given without a trace of the self-conscious irony that so often passes for wit. Joe Gordon-Levitt in particular deserves to be a star after this performance. He appears in every scene of the film, channeling the best of Humphrey Bogart.
"Brick" won a special Jury Prize at Sundance, and my understanding is that it has, in fact, been picked up for distribution. I suspect that despite its quality, it may have difficulty finding an audience. I hope I am wrong, because it was by far the best film I have seen this year. 5 out of 5 stars.

Brick Opening shot: A young man squats next to a stream, his head in his hands. What is he looking at? The body of a young woman, lying half in the stream.

"Where do you eat lunch?"
This is a film I have been highly anticipating for over a year. After first hitting the festival circuit in January of 2005 it went through the cycles, finally getting a stateside limited release at the end of March 2006. Buffalo, I ask you now to open your eyes to a masterpiece of cinema as Brick finally debuts at the Amherst Dipson.
Brick is a not a film as much as a symphony where each instrument is tuned to the beat of the conductor. Each frame is carefully orchestrated and composed to perfection. The dialogue is metered and spoken with a contemporary Shakespearean beat. Writer/Director Rian Johnson has created poetry with his first feature length film. It may be tough to understand the lingo and overall speech used, but as the film advances you begin to know the characters and the words just make complete sense.
We open with the stare of our protagonisthard and piercing, yet on the verge of tearseyes slowly welling up as he peers down on a motionless body, facedown in a tunnel's steady, flowing stream. This is film noir at its best: wrong men and notorious women. Our leader into this underbelly of society has recently rolled on his boss to skate clean of a drug deal he was involved with. The cops allow this plea and decide to keep him in their pocket, with what happened as leverage. He stays low, nose clean, until an old love brings him into her world as it's spiraling out of control. Using all his resources around the city, he begins his search to find her and make sure she is OK. He does this for his own means, with a stoicism that hearkens back to Bogart's Sam Spade.
Wait Did I tell you that the city this is set in is a suburban high school? Johnson has flipped the genre on its head to brilliant effect. Brendan, our medium into the story, is played to perfection by Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a senior at the school who has alienated himself by ratting on his drug supplier. The vice-principal is using him to gain intel on the dealings around school, but Brendan will have none of it. He needs to find out what happened to his old flame Emily and see what she got involved in. Enlisting the help of a colleague, Brendan plays his enemies off each other to gain access to the mob boss and dope runner The Pin ("I hear he's supposed to be old, like 26"), whom Emily has wronged. The truth must be found at all costs, either to assuage some personal guilt, to rescue love, to do what's right, to get the bad guys, or maybe all the above. The search for answers leads to betrayal and secrets uncovered and I was there for the entire ride.
Brick is not the 21st century's answer to Alan Parker's Bugsy Malone. This isn't a satire on mob life with children playing men. This is a reawakening of the genre, a subversion of what you expect of it, but played straight as a razor. None of these actors break character and lines like this, echoing a hardened criminal telling off an over-zealous officer, "No more of these informal chats! If you have a disciplinary issue with me, write me up or suspend me and I'll see you at the Parent-Teacher conference," are delivered with straight faces and a piercing confidence. The wit is there and you will laugh to the seeming absurdity, but the weight of the story holds strong. Well-placed humor helps you realize the gravity of everything even more.
Levitt shines in the role and proves to be the best up-and-coming actor of his generation. Following pitch-perfect turns as a violent teen in the wonderful Manic and as a teenage hustler, vagrant in Gregg Araki's disturbing yet unforgettable Mysterious Skin, Levitt is making bold choices and continues a great run with Brick. He is flanked with solid support from "Lost's" Emilie de Ravin as his lost love; Lukas Hass as The Pin, with loyalty straying muscle Noah Fleiss; Matt O'Leary's The Brain, Brendan's life-line to what's happening as he sinks deeper; and Nora Zehetner flawlessly playing the femme fatale which one can never be sure whether to trust. Also, the accompanying score of piano and brass jazz fits perfectly to the atmosphere, especially on a late scene close-up shot of Levitt and Zehetnerfaces close- up, lips with an atom of air between them, and a single tear slowly following down the contours of her faceuncannily mimicking the infamous shot of Bogart and Bergman in Casablanca.
Any cinephile with $8 to spend will regret missing an opportunity to see this film. If you love film noir of the 50's, 60's, and 70's check Brick out while you can. Doubtful that it will stay up more than 2 or 3 weeks, it will be coming to DVD on August 8th, however go out and see this gem. It will not be everyone's cup of tea, but whether you love it or not, it holds a place on the timeline of cinema as an experiment in stripping down the essence of noir and showing it in a new and no longer angelic world of children on the cusp of adulthood. "Here's looking at you kid."
Film Noir meets 90s High School flick
I saw this film at a sneak preview the other night not knowing what to expect. To say the least I was pleasantly surprised. Film Noir being one of my favorite film genre's, "Brick" follows the same story structure, odd-ball characters, right down to the very smart and quick paced dialogue of a 30s/40s hard boiled detective thriller. The twist that lifts it above parody and even a mere homage is the presentation of these elements with high school kids in Southern California. The direction by Rian Johnson is very expert and confident in telling the story, giving the audience smooth and quick editing along with skewed and distorted camera angles. He manages to maintain suspense throughout the film, only in a couple of parts letting it drag (the scenes with the Drama Queen are some of the weakest). The actors are great, the most memorable being the "villains" Pen and Tugger. Rather than just being atypical baddies, their portrayals give them depth, sympathy, and at the same time a degree of likability. Kudos also goes to the actor who played Brain, the partner of Frye, who is nearly flawless in his somewhat small role. John Shaft himself, Richard Roundtree, shows up as the Vice Principal, but it is obvious they only had the budget to hire him for one day. I have to say this isn't a classic film by any means; I merely decided to give it such a high rating because it attempts something different and succeeds fairly successfully. I've been tired of the mundane films that get released every year, and for once this is something that is completely different; the use of archetypal characters in the setting and delivery not expected. It's a low budget film, but it is obvious to me that that this filmmaker will be heard from again. Keep an eye out.

As if Barack Obama didn't have enough problems to deal with already, his administration now is being asked to weigh in on the grave matter of Justin Bieber, according to AFP.
Justin Bieber is now one of Obama's problems
By mid-day Wednesday (1700 GMT), a petition on the White House website calling for the deportation of the Canadian-born teen idol had garnered 103,000 names -- easily surpassing the threshold of 100,000 signatures required for presidential consideration.
"We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture," says the petition, created by one "J.A." in Detroit last Thursday, the day Bieber was busted in Miami Beach for impaired driving and illegal drag racing in a flashy Italian sports car.

Get down and dirty in the garden
Before you get started, brush up on good seed starting habits. You'll want to mix your potting soil with sand for the best drainage. Seeds need to stay moist as they germinate and grow. You can even make your own potting soil to save money and control ingredients. Adding aquarium gravel on top of the soil, before you sow the seeds, will also help with drainage and protect against seed-killing fungi. For seeds started indoors, transfer sprouted seedlings to their own pot to reach maturity before moving them to your garden.
Try growing these seven easy flower and vegetable varieties from seed.

For a burst of color in your garden, try Silene, a flower also known as "sweet William catchfly."
Silene is one of the easiest perennials to grow from seed, making it a great choice for beginning gardeners. It should be started indoors about 2 months before the last frost.
Plant silene seeds in flats using high-quality potting soil and provide regular water. Sometime between 2 weeks and 1 month you can expect to see your seedlings burst forth from the soil.
Marigolds have a long blooming period that lasts from spring well into fall.
These annuals can be started indoors or outdoors. If you start them outside, wait until the soil is warm. If you want to begin inside, plant your marigold seeds 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost. Water marigolds at the bottom of the plant and avoid fertilizing them.
Marigolds are quick to grow. The first blooms should reveal themselves just a few weeks after planting.
Since cosmos don't do well as transplants, you're unlikely to see them offered at your local nursery. That's why they make a great plant to start from seed.
Wait until temperatures are warm enough to plant the cosmos seeds directly into your garden. In only 5-10 days you'll see the first buds above the soil. Soon you'll have pretty flowers that will bloom until the first fall frost.

This popular summer food is one of the most bountiful vegetables. You don't even need to plant that many seeds since you can expect one vine to produce 16 or more flowers. Zucchini seeds can be started either inside or out. If you start them inside, plant the seeds about 2 weeks before the last frost.
It will take about 4-8 days for these annuals to sprout. Harvesting begins after 2 months.

Beets are a hardy annual and easy to plant from seed since they can survive cold temperatures and even light frost. You can plant the seeds directly in your garden in the spring or fall. Soak the seeds for a day before planting. Then keep them moist in the ground and your seedlings will sprout within 3-5 days. Full harvest occurs about 2 months later.

This annual vegetable has a fast harvest, approximately 20-30 days after planting. It can also be grown and harvested throughout the year. Just be sure to time your planting for 2-3 weeks before the last spring frost or the first fall frost.
Radish seeds should be started outside. Within a week you'll be able to see the first seedlings.

Often overlooked as a less flavorful and not-so-glamorous vegetable, lettuce can actually be quite tasty and nutritious. This is the best reason to grow it from seed—once you've had lettuce fresh from the garden, you won't want to buy it from the grocery store again.
Lettuce seeds can be sown indoors or out, depending on when you want to harvest them. For the earliest harvest, plant seeds inside about a month before the last spring frost. Once it's warm enough to work in the garden, lettuce seeds can be transplanted in the garden. They should sprout above the soil in 1-2 weeks.
Lettuce is an annual, but there are so many varieties to choose from that you'll have fun trying a different kind every year. For all my veggies, I like to get non-GMO, organic seeds.

Is springtime finally here? It seems to be—the first, tiny lime-green leaves are appearing on the trees and the tulips and daffodils have started to spring forth in all their glory. Gardeners everywhere are just itching to get their hands in some dirt.
The first step is to take stock of what's at hand—paw through the seed stash, uncover the compost pile and assess how many containers are available for the menagerie of plants that will very shortly need homes.
If, like me, your garden plans are always more ambitious than the existing infrastructure, you're probably scrambling for some more pots and planters right about now. But no reason to despair—you can certainly fill in your kit without a lot of effort, or breaking the bank.

Metal food cans are probably one of my favorite DIY garden containers. I like the slightly larger, 29 ounce size. The ones I usually have on hand are from pureed pumpkin—we eat a lot of pumpkin at our house! If you have them sitting on a saucer of some kind, use a screw driver or an awl to punch a few holes in the bottom for drainage. If they won't sit on a saucer, you'll want to put in a layer of pea gravel or other drainage material so your plants don't get wet feet. You can leave the metal plain if you like the look, or you can easily dress it up by spray painting it a bright color. You can also very easily turn metal cans into hanging planters by punching a hole near the top rim on either side and threading a piece of twine or wire through it—very versatile!
No, you don't need to be a seamstress to pull these off. You can make a simple flat grow bag by making a trough of out some landscape fabric or burlap. Even a heavy canvas would work for these. Simply take a length of fabric and lay it flat in the space where you'd like your planter to stay (as they're a bit awkward to move after being filled with soil). Fill the length of the fabric with potting soil right down the center—leaving a few inches at the short ends, and only so much that the fabric can be pulled up to meet on the top in the center, essentially making a tube of dirt. Using twine, loosely lace the fabric together in a zig-zag pattern, from side to side. Use an awl or screwdriver to poke holes in the fabric if needed. Don't pull the lacing tightly—you want to see gaps of dirt, as these are where the plants will go. Once the lacing is complete, tuck the short ends under the bag, and plant your seedlings in the gaps.
A lot of people have more reusable shopping bags than they know what to do with, and they are a great stand-in for off-the-shelf grow bags. Just fill a bag with potting soil and that's it! These are particularly good for growing potatoes as you can just reach into the soil to harvest without having to dig up the entire plant.
At our house, we buy flour and sugar in bulk—25 pounds bags—because we bake all the time, and it's more affordable. The paper bags that flour and sugar come in are a very heavy-weight paper, and are perfect for a single-season grow bag. Even the smaller 5 pound bags can be used in the same way. At the end of the growing season, the entire set up can be tossed into the compost bin without too much trouble. It's a great solution for something that would otherwise be thrown away.
And it's just not just bags, take a walk around the house too. Most of us have a lot of glassware and kitchen stuff just sitting around—why not plant something in it? I collect milk glass, so that's my glassware of choice—African violets in compote dishes are lovely. But it can be anything you love and have on hand—tea cups, vintage baking pans (long-length loaf pans make great windowsill planters), jadeite, your collection of Pyrex measuring cups, wooden tea boxes—the sky is the limit. If it will hold some soil, it's fair game in my house. And why not give new life to our collectibles and family heirlooms by giving them a utilitarian, yet beautiful job to do?
So, take a quick walk around the house and gather supplies. In an afternoon you'll have an entirely new set of DIY garden containers for anything you'd like to grow. They'll reflect your personal style and tastes, and you won't break the bank doing it!

Making the jump from a small garden to a small farm, perhaps to help cut down on grocery bills or to fulfill a dream, is not really that big of a jump. All it requires is a little bit of planning and investment which might seem overwhelming in the beginning, but in the long run will pay off. Who knows, you just might end up loving your small farm so much that you consider making it even bigger.
If you've been considering that jump or are already in the process of expanding your garden, here are five items that you should consider investing in.

You probably have one of their single-wheeled cousins lying around your house, but if you're planning on upscaling your garden, those won't do. Handcarts with two or more wheels are a lot more durable and can be easily maneuvered over uneven surfaces; you'll be having plenty of those as you make your garden bigger. Whether it's moving topsoil, plants, tools, fertilizer or basically moving anything from here to there, the handcart is lightweight and good enough to shift moderately sized loads that you can't carry in your hands.

Transforming your garden will probably produce a lot of organic waste that you'll throw into the garbage. Furthermore, if you're planning on adding animals to your small farm, then you'll have more than a few handfuls of poop to manage as well. Here's where composting comes in quite handy.
It's the best way to utilize natural waste instead of letting it go to waste at a landfill or incinerator. You'll be recycling all those fallen leaves, cut vegetables and animal waste to make fresh nutrient healthy humus for your soil. Of course you can make a homemade composter, but if that's not enough—which it most likely won't be—then just get an affordable one made out of perforated polyethylene sheets, or the tumbling types that allow for larger volumes.

Whether it's small garden or a small farm, or even if it's for regular family use, pick-up trucks are amongst America's hottest cars. They're the best choice of vehicle for pulling and moving wood, animals, sacks of feed and fertilizers, plants and a number of other basic gardening and farming essentials. Pick-up trucks are arguably the most versatile and useful long-term investment—provided that you don't already have one. Considering that you're farm won't be too big, neither will your workloads, so you don't even need something that's too heavy duty.
The Ford F series has a number of variations that are affordable and have good load capacities. If you plan on having more animals than vegetables on your small farm, you may want to consider a livestock trailer.

You probably already have a number of these around for common repairs and other household and gardening chores. Well, you could consider getting a new set, but simply investing in a few useful tools, such a circular saw and a drill, would make even more sense. Whether it's cutting wood for the barn or new fences to building your own composter and attaching doors and railings, there are so many projects that make both of these tools must-have items for any farm.

Large farming areas are designed keeping irrigation in mind. For the small garden space, a kettle or a jug works fine. But for something in between those areas a small home garden and large-scale industrial farm, you will definitely want to consider implementing a more effective way of watering—something mechanical instead of walking all over the place with a hose. Sprinklers do just that. You can instantly water a large area by connecting a sprinkler system to your water supply. The best part is that they can be modified to spread natural, liquid pesticides as well to keep your plants healthy and pest-free.
If there's an activity that seems as far removed from the tech world as possible, it's gardening. There are few more relaxing things to do in the modern world than to unplug from the tech grid and spend a few hours tending to the garden. But in the 21st century, it's a smart idea to modernize our approach to horticulture.

There is something immensely satisfying about growing your own vegetables. In fact, two good reasons immediately spring to mind.
1. What you grow yourself always seems to taste better.
2. It's cheaper than buying it from a store.
Saving money is what so many of us are all about these days. Whether it's taking advantage of discounts and offers on sites like SumoCoupon or growing your own organic vegetables, it all helps to keep cash in your pocket for a little longer.
Here are five dirt cheap ideas for reaping great savings by growing your own vegetables.

The price of seeds is creeping up due to the increasing popularity of growing your own produce, but the savings you make by growing vegetables from seed still beats buying them—by a big margin.
You don't have to break the budget on fancy pots either. Egg cartons, yogurt cups and other small containers make good pots and you will be doing your bit for recycling at the same time by using what you already have around your home.
Clean the pots by soaking them in 1 part non-chlorine bleach to 10 parts water. Use a potting mix rather than soil to fill the containers. Seeds tend to do better in a soil-less mix and if you are a bit of a gardening novice, you will probably find it a bit easier to get started than if you use garden soil.
Plants and vegetables love compost, so use what is already available rather than spend money on products from the garden center that will do the same thing, but make your vegetables more expensive to grow.
Collect your yard and kitchen waste and before you know it, those dried leaves and half rotted items that become leaf mulch will attract worms and other insects that will do their job and give you decent compost within a growing season. Making your own compost is an absolute no-brainer.
If you are just starting out, pick some produce varieties that are easier to grow than others.
A small packet of salad leaf seeds will be enough to produce the equivalent of about 24 bags of supermarket salad, and most varieties are easy to grow. Have a go at some growing zucchini or squash. A single plant will generally produce 30 fruits, which will amount to more big savings.
Tomatoes and potatoes are other easy-to-grow options and make regular appearances on the dinner plate, so you're sure to get plenty of value out of each crop.
If you don't have a lot of room in your garden for rows of potatoes, carrots and other veggies, you can easily grow herbs in pots.
A pinch of fresh basil is easy to come by when you have a pot on the deck or growing in a sunny window. When you add up the cost of buying all the herbs you commonly use, you'll soon discover that growing your own mini herb garden is a real money-saver.
Growing herbs in a container is also a good idea for engaging your children in your gardening exploits, and they love to see and taste the results of their efforts.
There are a few simple things you can do to increase your crop yield and save even more money.
• Try using a trellis wherever you can as it greatly increases your yield per square foot. The sort of plants you can grow easily using a trellis include cantaloupe, cucumber, tomato and sweet peas.
• Aim to grow small leafy plants like arugula, leaf lettuce and spinach without walking aisles in-between as wide rows will give you more food per square foot.
• Consider using raised beds in your garden, as it will help to keep your garden organized and allows you to concentrate on the most productive items. The advantages of a raised bed are that it gives you the opportunity to almost-perfect soil, so your plants will be at their most productive.
• Another way of getting the best chance of a high yield is to start with transplants. Plants that are several weeks old when you put them into the ground will give you a head start. Although it is more expensive than starting with seeds, it's still cheaper than buying your vegetables from the supermarket.
Growing your own vegetables can save you hundreds of dollars and will give you plenty of satisfaction when get to enjoy something you've grown yourself on the dinner plate.

Having moved into a new house this past year, I'm facing unique decision: Where should I plant my garden?
I can't keep my potted plants growing in my guest room all summer long and, yet, I have almost no idea where I want to plant them when I move them outdoors in a few weeks.
Before you can pick that first lovely vase of flowers or add your own fresh cucumbers to your salad, you need to make an important decision. Read on for advice on how to find the right spot to plant your garden if you're starting from scratch.

What does your dream garden consist of and how much of it do you hope to grow? A good beginner's plot is 10 by 16 feet, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. A garden this size will feed a family of four over one season, with a little extra to can or give away. If you're only looking to supplement your food supply, or have fewer people to feed, you can go smaller. A garden as small as 4 by 8 feet will have enough room for the basics and will give you plenty of fresh veggies throughout the summer.
What you hope to grow will also factor into your space considerations. Every plant has its own space requirements, so be sure to read the labels before you buy. Growing tomatoes will be different than growing herbs, for example.
Some vegetables can even be planted separately in containers, so if you live in an urban environment or you're low on space, you can still make a garden with planters.
The kind of ground you build your garden in will determine what comes out of it. You want soil that's rich in organic material and free of contaminants. If you live in an area where soil contamination is a possibility, you may want to get environmental testing done on the area you plan to plant.
Keeping the soil moist—not too dry and not too wet—is just one part of soil maintenance. You should also use fertilizer and compost to feed the dirt that nourishes your plants.
Did you know plants can actually drown? It's true! They need water but they shouldn't just sit in it. That's why drainage is an important factor in where you set up your garden. Planting your garden on a slope is an easy way to ensure proper drainage, but you can also add filler soil to any areas where water tends to accumulate.
Of course, make sure you choose a spot within reach of a hose or sprinkler. Plants need water every day and you can't count on the rain to do the whole job for you.
The right kind of light, that is. You want your garden to receive a full helping of morning sun. That early light is like a cup of coffee for your plants—it gets them growing. Most plants need to receive at least six hours of direct light daily.
On the other hand, you need to shield your garden from the light that falls hot and heavy later in the day. Like exposure to solar radiation can damage equipment and gadgets, plants also need protection from the scorching afternoon sun.
The best way to accommodate both these concerns is to plant your garden facing east in a spot that receives direct sunlight. You may want to first spend a day or two watching the sun move across your yard. Then put up a barrier on the west side to protect your garden from the too-hot sun. This barrier can be an existing building, such as a house or barn, or a homemade solution like a trellis.
However, if you don't have any direct sunlight available, look for plants that do well in partial sun or shade. There are many flowers, such as pansies, that can thrive in indirect light. There are vegetable options too, including leafy vegetables like kale.
Ultimately, the location you choose for your garden should keep it out of harm's way. Avoid setting your garden too close to a driveway or sidewalk, so it doesn't get trampled by wayward vehicles or curious children. Fences and row covers are additional steps you can take to protect your garden from animals and insects.
Now that you know how to find the right spot to plant your garden and keep it healthy, you're ready to begin. Gardening may be hard work, but the rewards are many. Anyone who's ever bitten into a ripe tomato, fresh from the vine understands why all the planning and sweaty effort is worth it.

With identity fraud statistics still on the rise, people are turning to shredders to minimize their troubles. Unfortunately, this leaves the owner with a bag full of paper particles and another problem to solve—how best to recycle the leftovers. Sure, there are recycling plants which will accept shredded waste, but they aren't always as accessible as you might hope. Often there are rules and regulations that must be followed before the paper can be reused.
The solution could be closer to home than you imagine. Shredded paper is an ideal substitute for a variety of items used in horticultural chores. Put those fingers to an even greener use and give your old receipts a new lease on life.
People often forget that paper comes from a natural resource. Mixing equal parts of shredded paper and grass results in an easily composted blend. This will be broken down in the same manner as any other garden waste, providing nutrition throughout your ecosystem. Remember to keep the mixture free of moisture, as this can cause the paper to mat together, restricting oxygen diffusion (find more tips in Compost at Home). Try stirring the paper deeper into the heap to avoid this problem.
Paper's water retaining qualities can actually aid the growth of small crops. Peas and beans are conventionally grown in trenches, which promote the formation of longer roots. Shredded paper can be added to the pit of these trenches, as a means of water distribution. The plant's roots absorb water from this layer and allow the produce to thrive. This technique, whilst making the most of your shredded waste, can also reduce the chances of over-watering. As long as the paper is wet, the plant will have a sufficient supply.
Shredded paper is as effective in seed protection as many organic mulches. Spreading it around a new flower bed can suppress the growth of weeds, regulate soil temperature and generally improve fertility. Many newspapers have switched to organic inks in light of this use, but it is always best to check the dyes used in your documents. Start by wetting the strips to encourage the decomposition process and lay them carefully around newly planted crop. The paper will allow fertilizer and water to reach the soil, whilst starving weeds of sunlight and nutrition.
If you want to give your seeds a little more TLC, offer them a helping hand with the construction of homemade seed starters. Blend together water and paper to create a pulp which can then be set in a device such as a cake tray. The molds should only take around 24 hours to dry if left in a warm, dry place. These can be transferred directly to soil, the paper fibers providing the perfect first meal for your seedlings.
Whilst most paper is beneficial to your garden, materials such as cellophane and gloss can be extremely dangerous. Be sure to remove these before you begin mulching or composting so your plants can mature undisturbed.

Okay, I've used so many lotions and find I'm always going back to this stuff because it's cheap and it works! I have very dry and itchy skin. The smell stinks, but heck, I'll put up with any odor if it works! I had a very dry and itchy patch on my upper inner thigh that persisted on staying for EVER! I had enough! I finally caved in and got the stinky jar and now the patch has been gone for a long time and hopefully never to return! Works well on cracked skin. I wish there was a pump though, but LOVE this! Update:I've used perfume on top of this stinky slop, and BOY-OH-BOY, did I stink awful!

Udderly Smooth is probably the best hand cream I've ever tried! It moisturizes very well and leaves my hands feeling soft, smooth, and moist. I love how it is so inexpensive too (4.50 on drugstore.com, for a big 12 oz. tub). For some reason, I really like the concept of using "udder cream", and the jar is pretty cute too. One thing I don't like about it, though, is that it is slightly watery. Other than that, it's a really nice hand cream! =)

I love this lotion! My mom's a quilter, and she always had a tub of this around because it's stainless and she could put it on her hands before quilting. I cross stitch, so this is a great product for me to use when my hands are dry but I still want to work on a project. It smells a bit medicinal, but it's a great moisturizer and goes on smooth. I'll probably be buying this for the rest of my life.

This is the best cream/lotion that I have ever used! My skin is perfectly fine in the summer but in the winter it dries out badly, especially my hands. They get painful and can even crack and bleed. I've tried so many hand creams over the years and they got the job done but they've all been sticky and leave me feeling like my hands are coated with grease. I think it must be the glycerin in them because I can't tolerate it in facial skincare either. This contains no glycerin, and it is soft and creamy like everyone has said - the perfect texture. It does sink right in and keeps my hands moisturized for most of the day. I bought this in the large size because I couldn't find the small tube and it's so good that I've been lugging it around in my purse ever since.
UPDATE: This lotion definitely does its job, but the scent really got to me after a while. Minus one lippie for that. If they come out with an unscented version I'll give it another try for sure.

This is hands down the best moisturizing lotion that I have ever used in my life! My skins just DRINKS it in. The lotion can be slightly runny, but I still prefer it to the cream in the tub. The only downside is that I am not all that found of the scent...it's not horrible or overpowering in any way, just not my favorite. That said, the scent is fairly mild and does not seem to last very long at all. Besides, I usually use this when my hands are very dry, and then layer my favorite scented lotion over it. I would recommend this lotion to anyone needing real moisturizing without the feel of heavy creams.

Moisturizes well, but way too liquidy/runny and the scent was migraine-inducing. I used it on my legs, not sure if that makes a difference in my opinion of this product - ladies who are using it on their hands seem to love it.

I love this! I'm not sure how I stumbled upon it, but for once it wasn't through an MUA review or rec! I just bought it in the tub (I wanted to squeezy tube but couldn't find it). I'm SO impressed there are hardly any words! Thank god for this though! For the first time my hands are getting rough and flaky this winter season (never happened before) and I bought a different hand cream that worked, but left my hands feeling greasy and nasty. This stuff is SO light, leaves a nice light scent, and makes your hands feel smooth. It made me wonder if 1) all cows have soft, nice smelling teats and 2) if farmers have smooth nice smelling hands from rubbing it in...hahaha--well either way i'll definitely be buying again, and I'll only ever be buying THIS! $3.99 for a huge tub of something that actually works to perfection?! I think YES!!!

I bought this based on the reviews..and its awesome. Probably the best hand moisturizer I've ever used! I bought it in the tub..and I was so happy that its not greasy and sinks right in. I hate slippery greasy hands. My cuticles were the first place I noticed an amazing change..instead of dry cracked and peeling..they are now soft supple and beautiful. This stuff is dirt cheap for a big ol' tub. I'm not crazy about the scent...kind of smells like old rose petals to me, I'll give it 4 lippies because of that. EDIT--I've had an allergic reaction to this and I am so bummed! My hands and forearms started to itch after I smeared this on for about the 3rd time...and now I have little itchy blisters! However, that seems to really only happen on my arms--wierd. I did get a tattoo on my ankle and this was PERFECT for keeping it moisturized during healing.

C-USA Considers Merger with Mountain West in Search of BCS Bid
Could the blue turf of Boise State and other MWC schools align themselves with Rice, UH and C-USA?
In what seems both inspired and crazy, Conference USA, which includes University of Houston and Rice, is considering a football-only merger with the Mountain West Conference that would create a massive 22-plus-team mega conference in the hopes that it might receive a BCS bowl bid.
Officials from both conferences discussed the possible alignment during the annual Division I athletic directors meetings in Dallas.
The move would not officially merge the two conferences, but would instead align them, creating a final championship game between the winners of the respective conferences that would then, hopefully, receive a coveted BCS bid.
The Mountain West already has some shuffling to do as it lost Utah last year to the Pacific 12 and is losing TCU to the Big East after this year, but the MWC does have more significant football schools than C-USA including Boise State, currently ranked among the top five teams in the country.
What makes the plan intriguing is that it would immediately create a wide range of markets attractive to television networks and position the conferences for potentially more lucrative deals than they could achieve on their own. No one would confuse them with the SEC, but with teams scrambling to secure their future conference homes, such a move would certainly make these two conferences much more attractive.
The most bizarre element of this construction would be the massive physical distance it would cover. The aligned conferences would have teams representing every time zone and Hawaii. Granted, they likely wouldn't play a lot of inter-conference games each year, but it does make for a lot of ground to cover.
The big question is whether or not the BCS would grant a champion from an aligned "mega conference" a bowl spot. No telling right now, but the talks certainly make the gradual demise of the Big 12 a little less depressing for fans of UH and Rice.

Mountains are classified by how they are formed. Mountains form by volcanic eruption, heat and pressure, and the movement of the earth's plates. A mountain's shape and location give clues to how it was formed and to its classification.Know More
Volcanic mountains form from the hardened lava produced during volcanic eruptions. The lava piles up, along with ash and rock, over time to form the mountain. Dome mountains form from heat and pressure building up under the crust and pushing straight up. Plateau mountains form when two tectonic plates in the crust push together, moving the land straight up to where they collide. Fault-block mountains form when plates push together, causing the crust to break. Portions of the crust push up, often with sheer sides, and other portions slip underneath.Learn more about Geology
Minerals are most commonly classified by the Dana system. Minerals are identified according to hardness, specific gravity, color, luster, streak, cleavage and crystal form.Full Answer >
Rocks are classified by according to their mineral and chemical composition. There are three classifications for rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.Full Answer >
Metamorphic rocks are primarily classified according to mineral composition and texture, similar to how igneous or sedimentary rocks are classified. However, the forces that form metamorphic rocks, namely pressure, heat and chemically active fluids, can produce a wide range of different substances, which makes classifying these rocks much more difficult.Full Answer >
Mountains are important because they influence regional and global weather conditions and climate. They provide human beings with medicinal products, food, biodiversity, energy and freshwater.

Candidate Interview ReviewSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- Declined OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bayantrade in February 2008.
The hiring process was really difficult because you need to pass all the process from HR Assistant, HR Manager, Unit Manager, VP Operations and the President and CEO. It was undeniably very tedious and very stressful on the part of the applicant because you need to pass all of these before getting the job. The trick here is that, once you get the job, you are assured of the company benefits and in a way broaden your knowledge when it comes to applications/systems (ERP & CRM). The atmosphere or even the culture was great because you need can be interfaced with all levels of people in the organization.

The resilience that scientists learn from conducting research should also be applied to the job search.
The search can be tough, but despite the competition, you can rise to the top of the pile.
Video screening interviews are now a major ingredient of the hiring process.
It's important for today's job seekers to be aware of the "un-networking" trend.
Here are some of the tools that you need to show you can deliver what industry requires.
Seek the credit you deserve—all of it—but not more.
A young scientist learns about the advantages of real-world networking.
At interviews and networking events, your questions are at least as important as your answers.
It's good to want something, but wanting it too much, or appearing to, can be a problem.
B.S. and M.S.-level job opportunities can be tempting because they're so plentiful, but Ph.D. scientists should resist the temptation.
To make it past first contact with a potential employer, you need to employ top-tier telephone skills.
Professional-level telephone technique can get you hired.
To win the job interview, answer the questions, make your interviewer feel good about you, and avoid making major mistakes.
Feedback can help you improve your day job and your interviewing skills.
Employee benefits are essential to your future prosperity, but not all of them are negotiable.
In the job search, getting the job done trumps fairness every time.
When it comes to how job applications are processed by companies, some things have changed—but others haven't.
Instead of the usual New Year's resolutions, this year try something that's really new.
Avoid these rookie mistakes and place yourself among the top 20% of applicants for jobs in industry.
From a networking standpoint, the purpose of a scientific meeting is to accumulate connections and thereby improve your odds of professional success.

I have a weird problem with SUDS in python.
I am writing an application, that uses a SOAP service. And for approximately 2 months everything was going fine. All of a sudden, it stopped working. Here is the weird part though.
If I run the unittest for the suds manager I wrote, everything goes well and the test passes like usual. If I run the code in the GUI application it fails, with the following traceback:
ERROR:suds.client:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:ns0="http://service.skip.fiskistofa.is/" xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,1]'
The code that fails, is running in a thread within the GUI application(PySide), the relevant code is here:
class Worker(Thread):
signal = AflafrettirSignal()
def __init__(self, queue, manager, date_from, date_to):
super(Worker, self).__init__()
self.queue = queue
self.manager = manager
self.date_from = date_from
self.date_to = date_to
self.daemon = True
def run(self):
landings = self.manager.get_landings(self.date_from, self.date_to)
for l in landings:
tmp = Landings()
and it's called in the gui like so:
manager = LandingsManager()
manager.set_credentials(self.username, self.password)
worker = Worker(self.queue, manager, date_from, date_to)
Finally, here is the code from the unittest module, which is working fine:
manager = LandingsManager()
manager.set_credentials(usern, passw)
data = manager.get_landings('2013-10-01', '2013-10-11')
I have verified that the username and password is the same when I set the credentials as well as the date from and date to when I call the get_landings method.
Like I said, it is a weird problem, and I am not sure what causes this to fail in one place, and work in another. I hope that someone can enlighten me regarding the cause.
I figured out what was wrong. The password contained a carriage return, and the SOAP service did not like that.

El Hierro / Canary Islands - Most Recent Information By The Most Diligent - And Recap Of Past Year
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Hi AT, I think you may want to take a look at this...A new post has just been posted on Volcano Cafe...Interesting to say the least..
El Hierro : a tectonic compression/relaxation mechanism?
Hypothesis: the earthquake swarms report relaxation of accumulated, compressive tectonic stresses
Read the full posting here:
link to volcanocafe.wordpress.com
Would of posted snippets but it is way to much information to post on here. Hopefully someone can dig the Juicy bits out though and post them....
Gizzie 8598858
Thanks...here's what catches me:
"The crust under the Canaries, part of the African tectonic plate, is moving north eastwards at 24mm annually in response to drag from the upper mantle."
That would explain some of the quakes however, we've seen 24mm of movement in ONE DAY during these swarms!!!!
"This compressive stress accumulation must be almost silent to seismometers: very few earthquakes have been recorded at Hierro over 25 years prior to 2011."
So...Hierro has begun a phase...something that has not occured in the thousands of years it has been there and it is not stopping. I think this one sentence right here verifies that Hierro is on the road to something substancial and frankly...unpredictable.
"It is the sudden relaxation of accumulated compressive stress that causes the earthquakes. The earthquake swarms are proposed to result from relaxation of compressive stress."
I don't agree with this concept. Show me how the progressive stress is reduced in some measurable capacity and then maybe I'll buy it. The plate doesn't just stop compressing...unless it's overall movement is finally over. Which...the rest of the article does not specify.
What I could buy is that the bulk plate and the surface plate might be finding a way to relax from their movement from each other. What's really interesting is to consider that this archipelago's bulk plate seems to be filtering ativity ONLY towards Hierro and the stress relaxation is offset by sudden deep, sometimes very deep, quakes around the Tenerife/Grand Canary island. We also saw one at 79km deep north east of La Palma a few days ago. That to say the least was interesting...
that quake would've been BELOW the mantle...in the core!
Their imagery on #8, and without their actual explanation, may explain why the Frontera Bay region has seen most of the landslides. All the pressure is pushing forwards on the island. However, that also means that at some point the underside of the south can buckle and do a barber chair. It can become so unstable at the water line that it breaks and rolls outwards, causing a reverse slide.
THanks for the link and the info. THat was a great read! :)

Palomino: Competition for Flightgear
The GPL flight simulator Palomino from Jim Brooks has, with the integration of OSSIM and the 3D graphic tool OpenSceneGraph, become serious competition for Flightgear.
Written in C++ and LUA and using Cmake, Palomino is a multi-platform application with the option of OSSIM (Open Source Software Image Map) compilation, enabling on-screen rendering of satellite images like Google Earth or NASA Worldwind.
Developed by US American Jim Brooks, the software is available in version number 20090615. Despite some impressive screenshots, handling and the range of functions suggests Palomino is still taking its first unsteady steps. An excerpt of the gameplay showing a landing on an aircraft carrier can be seen on YouTube. Brooks however, holds documentation close to his chest.
Translating the software from the sources: Version 2.8 of OpenSceneGraph library, Cmake and the optional FLTK, PLIB for the sound and OSSIM for the satellite surface, takes time. The source code, along with four packages of data regarding modules, interface and sounds, can be found at Sourceforge.

What people say about Donnatella
During my time on various xxx teen cams on a million of different sites, I came across all kinds of babes, and after a certain moment they started to look like each other. And then, some day, I came across Donnatella. Man, she is a really nice piece of ass, who really knows how to seduce men on livecam.
Donnatella impressed me with her performance on camsfreaks.com, when we had our first sex chat encounter and now I prefer to spend time with her, which is better than watching free porn, because sooner or later it gets old. But don't worry, that will not happen, if Donnatella is around!
I love girls with tattoos, so Donnatella is my absolute favorite live webcam babe. She is loaded with ink and it's all really fucking sexy. She looks like the horniest porn models I saw on some sex tube sites! I ask her for close ups of the tats and she delivers every time. The girl will do anything to make me happy.
I love to check up live sex shows of this stunning brunette webcam model Donnatella and I am sure that she is one of the most beautiful women in the whole world web!

When you think about it, it just makes sense that dogs should make their appearance in photobooth pictures, a place to record the things that are important to you. - From the introduction to Photobooth Dogs.
Remember the photobooth?
Before the cell phone camera, the Instamatic and the Polaroid, there was the photo booth. Omnipresent at fairs, boardwalks, the five-and-dime and the train station, the photo booth beckoned. You dropped in a quarter (or two), your best friend or sweetheart in tow, giggling smushed together on a squat bench. Pull the curtain. Pose. Flash. Pose. Flash. Pose. Flash. You left with a strip of sometimes goofy, always memorable images.
Seems animal lovers too have taken their best friends to photo booths to pose for posterity for as long as there have been photobooths. In fact, the inventor of the Photomaton machine himself was one such dog devotee.
