I'll bet you can grow good carrots, beetroots and other such like root things in there - sounds as if you've got the best of both worlds, great stuff.
.... oh dear, this really is the asylum then.
Even if you don't want to use pots, there are lots of plastic and netting type bags especially made to grow various veggies in, potato bags, carrot and beetroot bags - pound shops are a good source of these, so are Wilko's - you'll find you don't need to dig the veggie patch at all, just keep the bags and pots on it!!
Ahh, yes that can indeed present an occupation hazard! My OH shows no interest in sitting in the GH so I have it to myself. Try filling it up with pllants so only one seat is possible and ensuring that you get there first - or maybe suggest that a den elsewhere for the other person might be a good thing? My trouble is I never get to stay there long as I then spot something that just has to be done NOW, if not sooner - which may give your OH the chance to snap up your seat!! Maybe hide the seat under a bench where only you know where it is ......
Don't use tomorite yet, not till the first truss of fruit has set. It is probably cold that has empurpled the leaves, a weak drop of seaweed solution will help if there is indeed a deficiency of anything.
Weeds are plants that have evolved to be here in this place and climate, so it is hardly surprisng that they outgrow all the things we decide we want in our gardens, many of which don't originate from here at all. Flame guns are fine as far as they go, which isn't far as you will discover, they don't deal with roots as you say, and do need gas which is envoronmentally unenchanting. However, it does feel good for a while and that can be fun. In the end you will need to get the roots of deeper weeds out, such as dock and crouch, but meantime the path is clear.
Land - and plants - are very fogiving, you did a good job as far as you knew. All you neded to do is (sorry) dig again, and bury the grassy sods grass down, under the soil. All will be well, and to be honest, evern if you didn't do this, in a year or two it would all be the same - but you can't work on it while you wait. So, if you have the strength and want to do it, get digging, and you will still have time to plant vegetables. This year is running late due to the horrd winter and early spring, so go for it - and trust the earth, it knows best and will forgive you nearly anything except a cncrete mixer!! Enjoy.
Exactly, if you or I were to go and commit such a crime, we would be in deep trouble - and rightly so - but just because it is Chelsea, they seem to be abe to do what they like. Disgusting. I wasn't going anyway, but this would be one of the many reasons why I wouldn't.
Topbird, if the men in white coats were to come when people talked to their plants they'd have th asylums overflowing with gardeners!! How else do you get to tell them when they are doing good, or when they need encouragement or even a touch of downright bullying? Besides, I hear that they don't wear white coats any more - oh - maybe thay have already been and this is the asylum!!!

Oh dear, surely no-one cleans windiws when there is gardening to do? It must be said that I hate all forms of housework, and windows come at the lowerst point of that - keep growing the plants and no-one, including you, will see the window!!

There is an increased risk of cholesterol gallstones among men and women taking estrogens.
Estrogens also may inhibit the flow of bile from the liver (cholestasis) and uncommonly cause jaundice.
Estrogens can cause salt (sodium) and water retention (edema). Therefore, patients with heart failure or reduced function of their kidneys who are taking estrogens should be carefully observed for retention of water and its complications.
Blood clots in the legs or lungs occasionally occur in women taking conjugated estrogens. This potentially serious complication of estrogen therapy is dose-related, that is, it occurs more commonly with higher doses. Therefore, the lowest effective doses that relieve symptoms should be used. Cigarette smokers are at a higher risk for blood clots. Therefore, patients requiring estrogen therapy should quit smoking.
Estrogens can promote a build up of the lining of the uterus (endometrial hyperplasia) and increase the risk of endometrial cancer. (Women who have undergone surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) are not susceptible to endometrial hyperplasia.) The addition of a progestin to estrogen therapy prevents the development of endometrial cancer.
The Women's Health Initiative found that postmenopausal women (50-79 years old) taking conjugated estrogens, 0.625 mg daily, in combination with medroxyprogesterone, 2.5 mg daily, for five years, had an increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, breast cancer, and blood clots, while postmenopausal women taking conjugated estrogens without progesterone experienced only increased strokes but not increased blood clots, heart disease, or breast cancer.

She dreampt the scene the night before
She cast you in her mind
She made your face of clay and straw
Precious stones for your eyes
We cut the cord that brought you here
We left you on your own
We filled your head with wild ideas
Our beliefs led you on
We leave a trail that's always changed
To keep your hopes alive
This surface may seem calm enough, but underneath
But underneath
We made you feel the way you are is wrong
We made you what you are
You are afraid
If you don't play the game we'll make you change
Ohhh I'll change (X7)

Sen. Bob Casey has more at stake this year than his own re-election.
As the reticent leader of Pennsylvania Democrats, the first-term Senator also serves as President Barack Obamas top lieutenant in the vital Keystone State.
I think the responsibility or the effort is heightened when its a presidential year, Casey said in an interview last week. Its a little bit difficult when youre also running. So thats a challenge.
Observers say that Casey, the son of a popular former governor who took over as the states highest-ranking Democrat after former Gov. Ed Rendell left office earlier this year, is up to the task. In the early 90s, Caseys namesake ruled Harrisburg with red-faced tenacity the opposite of Caseys low-key, monotone style. The late governor didnt often get his hands dirty in state party politics, instead focusing on his opposition to abortion rights as his singular issue.
Casey doesnt have that luxury at least not this cycle. Although he is the heavy favorite to win re-election, hes running against a Republican with significant financial resources while also balancing the demands of helping to ensure Democrats deliver the state for Obama.
Hes the most senior Democratic official, and hes taking it seriously, Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.) said in a June 1 interview. These are not mutually exclusive in fact, quite the opposite. They are very compatible to make sure there is good state turnout, and that there is turnout for the president and for him, up and down the ticket.
In the past two years, the Pennsylvania Democratic Partys staff has quadrupled. To attract top political talent, party officials moved the bulk of the staff to Philadelphia, a much more desirable city for top operatives than its former base in the capital of Harrisburg.
Casey has played a role in all of this and personally helped to recruit the partys challengers in the 8th and 18th districts, two targets for national Democrats this fall. Hes picked sides in primaries occasionally, such as backing Obama in 2008 and endorsing Rep. Tim Holdens failed Democratic primary bid earlier this year.
But the soft-spoken Casey is hesitant to discuss his partisan activities in any detail. He only acknowledges the challenge of running a state party in transition all the way from Washington, D.C. something his father never had to do.
When you have a governor of your party, that governor has the capacity to be able to build a party, lead a party, more so than any Senator or anyone in the Congressional delegation, Casey said. When you have a transition to the governor of the other party, that creates certain challenges.

Joe Arpaio Indictment Called for by Mary Rose Wilcox in New Video, and Puente's Protest of Eric Holder
Video of Mary Rose Wilcox in D.C. by videographer Dennis Gilman
Telling the crowd at the big immigration rally on Sunday in Washington, D.C. that Sheriff Joe runs Maricopa County like a "police state," county Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox urged listeners to call the U.S. Department of Justice and tell Attorney General Eric Holder to "indict Arpaio."
The rally for comprehensive immigration reform drew tens of thousands of people according to the New York Times, including a delegation from Phoenix including Wilcox, attorney Danny Ortega, civil rights activist Salvador Reza, and several members of Reza's Puente Movement.
"[Joe Arpaio] terrorizes our communities," Wilcox informed her audience. "He goes out in sweeps, and he tries to silence all his critics. I know because I was one of them. We spoke out against immigration policies that were repressive, and the sheriff charged me and tried to put me in jail."
Arpaio's name got a round of boos from the crowd, whom Wilcox later led in the chant of, "Indict Arpaio."
On Monday, as I advised they were going to do in a previous blog post, members of the Puente crew protested the U.S. Department of Justice in the rain, chanting, "Holder take over the MCSO," and carrying signs that read, "ICE Complicit with MCSO Crimes" and "Exercise Receivership over MCSO."
The Arizona Republic's Dan Nowicki attended the demonstration and blogged about it for his paper. You can read his account, here. Also, CBS 5 KPHO has some raw footage of the protest, which you can watch, here.
Despite the charges being dropped against Wilcox, you have to give her credit for her stones. Not many politicians are willing to demand Arpaio's indictment, even though he's currently being investigated by a federal grand jury in Phoenix, as well as by the U.S. DOJ's civil rights division.

A village shows their support and appreciation for the country's veterans.
Frazeysburg revealed a mural honoring all veterans. Members of the Frazeysburg VFW, Senator Troy Balderson and local veterans attended the reveal. Frazeysburg Mayor Gary Middlemus presented the mural to the town.
"The mural is not just for veterans, because it affects everybody's life one way or the other. That way if somebody's just traveling through they can see it too," said Middlemus.
Local artist Sean Elliott painted and co-designed the mural with Bob Steen, a member of the American Legion. Frazeysburg's Natasha Wortman who is currently serving in Afghanistan on her fifth deployment was featured in the painting. Wortman's mother Darleen Turner and World War II veteran Carl Wilcox revealed the mural.
"I'm a little shook up but I'm happy. It's going to touch a lot of people's hearts I think. Once we unveil it and everybody sees it and sees what a real good picture it really is. We're excited about it," said Middlemus.
The mural was completed thanks to donations from the community.

Giggs leads United to his first win after taking charge of the club
Created on Apr. 26, 2014 2:20 PM EST
this page
David Moyes is out and Ryan Giggs is in. After 10 troubled months Moyes was shown the door and the United legend Giggs has taken over, well for at least the next 3 games. Giggs got the perfect start as he led his team from the sidelines to a strong 4-0 win against Norwich City. A shaky first half but a very impressive second saw United reagin some pride back to their club.
Ryan Giggs the new leader of Man United after Moyes' exit earlier this week
United started strong as the crowd greeted their new manager with a huge cheer. The fans and the players already knew that Champions League football was off the table and now they were playing for their pride and for their new manager Ryan Giggs. Welbeck had the first real chance of the game, as he blasted a shot from the right side of the box. Though Ruddy held firm at his near post and fisted the ball clear of his goal. United kept the pressure up on Norwich but failed to really trouble the keeper or his goal. Man United also managed to have a good chunk of the possession too but once again as the halftime whistle approached they had nothing to show for it. Kagawa was probably the best on ground for United but still he didn't manage to break the deadlock. Norwich on the other hand defended well and limited the open space for the United forwards. Snodgrass was their best player on the pitch and was proving to be dangerous going forward. Though he lacked the support from his team mates to make an impact on the game. Then a silly challenge by Whittaker on Welbeck saw United earn a penalty as the Norwich defender was judged to have pulled him down. Rooney stepped up and made no mistakes as he buried the ball into the bottom right corner. 1-0 as the halftime break approached.
Wayne Rooney gives United the lead from the penalty spot just before the halftime break
The second half saw United come out strong from the change rooms and were rewarded early in the half with their second goal. Kagawa fed the ball out to Rooney wide left. The England striker would cut towards the centre of the box as the Norwich defenders backed off him. He took a touch and from about 25 yards out he fired in a curling shot and beat Ruddy as the ball hit the post and made its way into the back of the goal. 2-0 and Giggs was definitely happy with the way his debut as manager was going so far. United started to heat up then as they pushed forward and looked to increase their lead. Welbeck had a good chance from the top of the box but his shot towards the top left corner was well blocked by the keeper. Vidic then also had a good chance from the corner kick as he timed his jump at the far post. His header though would just go over the bar and bounce off the top of the net. United looking very dangerous every time they made their way into Norwich's half. Norwich then were given a slight break as they won themselves a free kick on the edge of the box. Snodgrass whipped in a curling shot over the wall but the ball was well covered by De Gea. Giggs decided his team were in good control and decided to change it up a bit and bring on Mata for Welbeck. The change was perfect as only moments later Mata would score United's third of the match. Rooney would fire in a strong shot from outside the box, but once again Ruddy leapt well to deny him his hat=trick. The ball though remained in play and was fed back to the top of the box to Jones. He played in a low cross towards the front post and it was the Spanish substitute that got a foot to it and steered it into the back of the net. 3-0 and United looking like the team of old under Giggs' guidance.
Juan Mata making it four goals in four games scoring United's third in the 63rd minute
The game was over after that and Norwich needed to try and hold on and not let the game become a blowout. Giggs would make one more change as Hernandez was brought on for Cleverley. Rooney would tuck into the centre of the ground and let Hernandez go up front on his own. Norwich though were struggling to hold off the former champions and some lack luster defending cost them again as they went down 4-0 in the 73rd minute. Evra played in a looping cross from the touchline. It cleared the entire goal but Valencia was quick to react and cut it back across the 6 yard box where Mata got a vital head to steer it into the goal. 4-0 and Old Trafford regained their voice that seemed to be lost in the past 10 months under Moyes. The game would end with that scoreline as United took their foot off the pedal slightly and Norwich managed to not let it get out of more contol. United winners and now the board will need to look at Giggs as being a true contender to actually take over and lead United back to the summit.

1999 Toyota 4Runner Problems
At higher mileages, (125,000-150,000) the automatic transmission may not shift correctly. This can be caused by the throttle position sensor being out of adjustment or a shift solenoid needing to be replaced. Typically the transmission does not need to be completely overhauled.
If the car will not start, the most likely problem is worn or corroded solenoid contacts in the starter. Usually, these parts can be replaced without purchasing a new starter.
The evaporative emission (EVAP) system may illuminate the vehicle's Check Engine Light due to intermittent failure of the charcoal canister purge control solenoid valve or canister failure. Upon failure of the charcoal canister, debris may circulate around the EVAP system causing other emission control problems.

text: We traveled to Chappaquiddick during the week of the 4th of July. The house is a short walk/bike ride from the ferry and your view of the 4th of July fire works is unbeatable. It is a summer cottage so no ac, no tv's few rustic furnishing and an overall acceptable condition. I would bring my own fans next time as during the day it got warm in the house and it would have been nice at night. The owner called to tell us the stove did not work but that did not effect us too much. At night, I would settle in with my glass of wine and my wonderful husband would ride his bike to the ferry, take the ferry and get me lobster rolls. We did go to the beach right in front of the house (small path and across the road) but usually chose to drive to some of the other remote beaches with our dog and daughter. You could ride your bikes also but with a 5 year old and dog, that was tougher. On the fourth of July we went to Edgartown by bike, watched the parade and then came home to the comfort of the ... mehr

Please use this thread to post reviews of Sam Bradford's workout. As always, no links, and please identify your source (or, if you watched the workout on line, let us know that you are providing your own opinions).
Here's the first one I found, from MSNBC:
Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford completed a perfect 50-of-50 passes at the Sooners' Monday Pro Day.
He was also jacked up in terms of his build. Pro Days are obviously geared toward making players look as good as possible, but Bradford was as sharp as can be, exhibiting a quick release, plenty of velocity on throws outside the numbers, and outstanding accuracy. We noticed just one throw behind his intended target (Jermaine Gresham still gathered it in), and he delivered one wobbler on a 40-yard slant-go. Rams GM Billy Devaney was undoubtedly impressed.

text: Hello APUG, I wanted to introduce myself, I am a photographer located just outside of Detroit, Michigan. My focus is on documentary and commercial photography but I have a soft spot for world portraits (Steve McCurry) and confrontation photography (James Nachtwey). Being young (currently 22) I have shot digital for almost as long as I have shot film, but am feeling the urge to return to film. This is because after going with all the usual zooms (24-70, 70-200 f/2.8 IS, etc.) I found myself liking the images from even cheap primes! So my digital lineup has changed to 5D MKII, 50L, 85L II, etc. But enough about that... Since I found love in images made with primes, I have also noticed that people react differently to film cameras in general, rangefinders especially. They appear as novelties and 'harmless' unlike a monster DSLR which can be quite daunting on the other end of the lens. I understand that the energy given out from the photographer effects people just as much (if not more), however a small camera is just another way to put people at ease, or to go unnoticed. With that said I don't have the money for a proper Leica setup, and I'm not quite ready for the Mamiya 7 II, so I decided that the Contax G2 would be a nice reintroduction... Today was my lucky day! eBay sent me a 10% off coupon, and Microsoft Cashback is at 8%, exactly at the same time that somebody listed a G2 kit with 28/45/90/flash/misc combo for Buy It Now of $895!!! Oh, I also paid with a credit card that gives 1% Cashback, so in total I got the kit for around $725! But let me backup a bit.... It all started with the idea that small camera = better people photography, so I thought that I might find a rangefinder (Leica) at an antique store for a bargain... I quickly found out that I was not the only person with that idea But I also found a Voigtlander Vito II with a Pronter-S shutter for $19.95, and I just couldn't pass it up. It is in excellent shape other then the shutter doesn't work below 1/10th but since I wouldn't be shooting below that I can accept that flaw, I have no idea how far the speeds might be off in the rest of it's range. But that doesn't matter, it has allowed me to step back and rethink about photography and what it means to me, I have regained creative freedom. So there you have it, a little insight about myself. I know that I will learn a lot from this forum, and I hope that I can even share some insight of my own. Cheers, Nick

The latest opinion polls show that the GOP has suffered a huge drop in its approval ratings, even among self-identified Republicans. In the wake of the government shutdown, only 28 percent of Americans hold a favorable view of the party, and Republicans are twice as likely as Democrats to view their own party negatively, according to a recent Gallup poll.
Given these dire numbers, you'd think the Republican leadership would jump at the chance to help repair the damage. But is there anything Republicans can do?
For starters, they could pass an immigration bill, which would demonstrate that Republicans are willing to help govern and not just obstruct.
The Senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill in June, with some (though not nearly enough) Republican support. But the House has dragged its feet -- and Speaker John Boehner has been unwilling to exercise leadership by pushing his caucus to act. If a bill doesn't make it this year, its chances will be even worse during the 2014 election season, which is exactly what anti-immigration forces are counting on.
It's no accident that many of those who led the GOP astray during the shutdown are the same people most opposed to immigration reform. The overwhelming majority of Americans, including a majority of Republicans and conservatives, favor immigration reform that grants legal status and a path to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants here now.
But a new poll by the Public Religion Research Institute shows that a majority of tea party activists oppose such changes. And one of the leading groups, the Tea Party Patriots, has threatened primary challenges to any Republican who votes for comprehensive reform.
It's not clear why immigration is such a hot button for the tea party. These loose-knit groups came together after President Obama was elected largely to stem the growth of government. But if anything, immigration restrictionists are the personification of big government, favoring huge expenditures of money and resources on immigration enforcement, opposing the right of employers to hire whom they want, and letting Washington bureaucrats determine our future need for labor.

100 Days of FuzzballNaomi Odes
I meant to post something yesterday about it being Fuzzball's 100 day birthday, but I was too busy sucking the snot out of his nose. While I was in the thick of it with my first baby, a friend told me that once I made it through 100 days it would be easier. There is a Korean tradition to celebrate the 100th day of baby's life, signifying that baby made it through this 'difficult period.' Personally, I think the difficulty is for the parents, and less for the baby. But, I suppose it is that 'fourth trimester' concept again, where the baby is getting used to being on the outside and is now ready to join society as a happy well-adjusted infant. The demarcation for Fuzzball has not been so clear, nor was it for my first. As for me, this time the first 100 days have been markedly easier and much less of a deep dark hole. For that, I am thankful. Happy 100 (101) days, Fuzz!

Pika pours another glass. "You know I can't put it off. I'd have to wait another year, and everyone is already in town. What would I say? No . . . I give up. Just let me drown." The man grabs her arm, "We could look for it again! It has to be somewhere, right? You could at least try!" She looks at him sadly, "I'd give anything to get it back, Lem. But we've turned the estate upside down. It's gone. Maybe someone stole it. Maybe the gods made it vanish . . . I can't do it again." Lemuil lets her go, sliding onto the bar seat beside her. "Fine, Pika. But if you're done, so am I." He grabs the bottle and takes a drink straight from it, then begins to cough violently, eyes watering as he chokes it down.
The group sits nearby, able to overhear the whole conversation. Sal the bartender waggles his eyebrows at them, mouthing the word "Anything." He shakes his head and wanders off to fetch another patron his drink.

A look at the world of the 21st-century bathroom attendant
Lawton, who looks like he could be a bouncer, doesn't necessarily tell people he's a bathroom attendant as much as "a member of security, who's stationed in the bathroom." But no embarrassment shows when he discusses the details. He loves his work, where he gets to act as liaison, recommending girls to patrons and occasionally getting a peek himself. He gets to meet people from all over, and show them a piece of the world that he never glimpsed before being at the Century. "It's something I can't explain," he says. "You know you're stuck in the bathroom, and then you see them doing something like 'School Girl Night.' It's wild. Like nothing I've ever seen before. It's just amazing every time I get out there. They have several girls who actually lift their legs up and climb all the way to the ceiling. It's like being at the circus, but they're stripping."
It's an experience that, to put it simply, Lawton is generally priced out of, a world where "private dances" can cost upwards of $100. In terms of straightforward class, Lawton has no shortage — he's a polite man who chooses his words with the precision of someone who makes a living speaking to people — but if we're talking economics, he's low on the ladder. Once or twice before meeting me at the Barbary Coast coffee shop off Market Street, Lawton had to drop appointments at the last minute, his housing situation in tumult. Truth is he's on General Assistance, in the shelter system, and shared tips from a few nights work a week aren't enough to get over.
The income for a bathroom attendant, the flow of tips, breaks down across class lines as well as cultural ones. In Lawton's experience, middle- to upper-class white men tip well. With African American or Indian men, he doesn't count on tips. In some ways, bathroom attendants perform an obsolete service that only older generations know how to handle. (Think of the bathroom attendants at Bimbo's, and that club's retro style.)
Fausz has his own observations: "European people don't tip. They don't have tipping over in Europe. Women don't tip as often — they like to let the guys pay for everything when they go out." To my knowledge, Refreshus doesn't have female attendants.
While Lawton can't enforce any specific prices, he sometimes has to step in, politely explaining that the service isn't complimentary. "Everyone under 32, they're oblivious," he says. "They come in and see the candy and go, 'Oh, it's free.' And you have to remind them that, no, this is a service. But you don't force any prices. Like I'll have a jar with a $5 bill and I'll just let them use their own discretion, just remind them that the colognes are usually this amount because it's expensive and I have to pay for all that. You just make them feel comfortable and let them know that even though it's complimentary, this is how I make a living. I'm responsible for all this. Because they think the club provides the service."
A lot of this has to do with exposure. While a number of clubs — Vessel, Harlot, Trigger — reportedly have similar services, bathroom attendants aren't common. Lawton had never encountered one before landing his job, just seen them on TV, and he describes the position as obsolete. "Each generation wants their own type of representation," he says. "So naturally anything they think of as obsolete just doesn't apply to them." At the same time, Lawton acknowledges that a genuine amount of surprise plays in his favor, and patrons admire that the service is still on offer.
Whether bathroom attendant work at the nightclubs provides enough income is unclear. In a place where people pack singles, like the strip clubs, the tips are expected to flow more freely. That's fine with Lawton, who doesn't like the more amphetamine-infused nightclub culture as much, having had close family members ruin their life over addiction.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says U.S. thinking on possible military involvement in Syria would change if chemical or biological weapons came into play in the Syrian civil war.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Obama said the use of such weapons of mass destruction, which Syria has, would widen the conflict considerably.
Obama said, quote: "It doesn't just include Syria. It would concern allies in the region, including Israel, and it would concern us."
Obama warned the regime of President Bashar Assad — and "other players on the ground" — that the use or movement of such weapons would be a "red line" for the United States.

Mothballing Marktd, Evolving PSFK
We've made a decision to stop publishing on Marktd. Despite making changes to focus on the creative/marketing ideas sister site of PSFK.com, we are still unhappy with the quantity and quality of the site.
Marktd started life as a subscription site called IF! which offered ideas to marketers about how to promote their products in a fresh, modern way. It was fairly successful and we got a good number of people pay the $25 subscription - but we felt that the subscription stopped it being read by a large group of people. A few months back we decided to stop the subscription and relaunch the site as Marktd. Since then interest in the site hasn't really picked up. I would suggest that this is because of a number of reasons:
* We just aren't that interesting in marketing and advertising. Personally it's been 7 years since I had a full time job in advertising and the longer time goes on, the less interest I have in the field. Combine that apathy with the fact that only one or two of the regular writing team have ever worked in advertising.
* Many of our readers who work in marketing and advertising don't seem to be that interested in only reading about marketing and advertising.
* When we do find exceptional marketing ideas that we are interested in, they tend to end up on PSFK.com anyway.
* We launched Marktd because IF! just wasn't good enough. We're closing Marktd because the site just didn't meet our standards.
Maybe one day we'll think about relaunching it - maybe with a sponsoring partner. From today, the Marktd email newsletter and RSS will change to PSFK content. We're hoping that the existing Marktd readers will get even better creative ideas content as a result.

44 Brands in 6 Minute: Good Brands in the Music Space
We've heard a lot of brands wishing to 'own' music recently, and we always get a bit, well, annoyed about it, because music belongs to people and persons, not brands. And the only thing brands should be trying to do in terms of music are those bandied-brand words, 'facilitating' and 'enabling'. Ruby Pseudo's team in the UK did a focus group recently where - in six minutes - the kids named 44 brands they saw as being part of the whole music "thing", either in a good or an appropriate way.
Our results? The same brands kept coming up. As an overview:
- Network brand 02 was mentioned by over 65% of the respondents. That'll probably go up too since they've brought all the Carling venues (isn't it a bit like when Reebok brought Thierry Henry and everyone was like, um, he's a Nike guy?)
- Virgin also occupied front of mind, and was cited by over 45% of the kids.
- Carling (for the time being) took bronze with 35% of respondents calling it out as being appropriately involved with music (Reading Festival and the like)… Diesel was also a runner-up with 25% calling out the denim brand as having a finger in the fat music pie (Diesel New Music Awards).
Overall, the notable brands mentioned in their respective categories:
- Broadcasters: C4, BBC, M&V
- Food & Drinks: Carling, Innocent, Coca Cola, Becks, Red Bull
- Fashion: Nike, Oxfam, Diesel, Adidas
- Network Providers: 02, Virgin, Orange, T Mobile
- Mobile Phone Brands: Sony (25%), Nokia (10%) Samsung (5%)
Some useful quotes from respondents:
'They had a guitar hero tent at Reading, I thought it was amazing, the best thing they could've done. There were like loads of geeks playing and really getting into it and they were giving away free t-shirts and there were competitions." Libby, 16
"They had a Duracell tent at Reading as well, something about lasting longer, some music tent, can't really remember." Jamie, 21
"They made a digital map at Glastonbury so you could navigate around and find the best places to get drunk and listen to music!" Tarik, 18
"As for Orange RockCorps- absolutely love that idea - it has the level of exclusivity that will interest and provoke youth into volunteering- genius." Leonie, 21
'Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel…'
"I did the orange RockCorps thing the other day which is so good for people our age who might not be able to afford tickets for gigs or they might be sold out by the time we get the money together. So many people turned up to the community service I went to that they didn't have enough tools for us!" Jay-Ann, 17

Simpsons Satirize Apple Brand Culture
On last night's episode of The Simpsons, Springfield was graced with the appearance of a fake Apple store, known as Mapple. The iconic cube store appeared in cartoon form complete with MyPods, MyPhones, MyCubes and an appearance by Steve Mobs reminiscent of the 1984 commercial. Should Apple take offense or is satire is the sincerest form of flattery?

Our New Book: Good Ideas In 2009
Team PSFK are pleased to announce our second book! At this time of year we're supposed to produce a trends report for 2009. When we all sat down and chatted about it, we thought such a report would be so gloomy and rather depressing. We didn't want to write about things like 'trading down' or 'discreet consumption'! We wanted to talk about all the inspirational ideas we read and write about every day, we wanted to spread the positivity, we wanted to encourage you to re-ignite the world. Honestly.
So we created Good Ideas In 2009. The 80 page click-to-print book features nine Good Ideas and manifestations of them. We write about design, mobile, collaboration, digital, social media, the long term and much more. Click through to the Blurb site and you can get a sneak peek.
The books are $50 for the softback and $60 for the beautiful hardback. If you're considering buying reports for your company or just books for your coffee table, we ask you to consider Good Ideas In 2009. We're rather proud of it. We hope it inspires you yo make things better.

Time-Lapse Creation of Massive Voltron Painting
This is the latest work by Robert Burden, an artist most known for his beautiful (and huge) paintings of toys. Previous themes include Mattel's BattleCat and a Foot Soldier from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This particular work is called "Defensor Mundi" (Defender of the Earth in Latin) and depicts a triumphant Voltron, standing 11 by 7 feet tall. Burden spent a year working on it and we're truly impressive to see an artist that can pursue a vision with such dedication. The entire process of this oil-on-canvas piece was captured with this time lapse video:

Dido embraces social media to market her latest album
Dido is back with her latest album, and this time she's decided to make it, resounding with the title of the album ('Safe Trip Home'), a true journey for her fans. Over the last month, Londoners might have noticed a number of cryptic posters around tube stations. The posters end by asking the viewer to google terms like 'Lady Landfill' or 'Mother lay-by' - essentially a range of words linked to the songs on 'Safe Trip Home', the album. Visiting the website for the album takes you to a number of videos based on cities around the world - Rio, Mumbai, and London for starters. The videos are short films, each set to a different song from the album, made by film directors that Dido contacted. When you view a film and share your thoughts on it, it creates a mood palette that will influence the mood pools around each film on the globe at the center of the site's menu. There is also a Facebook group for the album.
It is interesting to see how more musicians, like brands, are embracing social media to market their work. Careful and innovative execution is key, and this one certainly has been executed in keeping with those guidelines.

EcoLounging with the GreenSeat
Nothing ruins an outdoor concert or film screening quite like sitting on the grass for hours, hunched over like a barely opened mollusk shell. But with the GreenSeat, sore backs are now a thing of the past. Made from corrugated cardboard, the chair is a cheap, recyclable way to alleviate long episodes of sitting. At this point, it's been pitched primarily to eco-friendly audiences, but considering that the chair's construction offers great potential for advertising placement, we can only hope it will be popping up in venues worldwide. The simple all-in-one design incorporates a seat cover and handle and when not in use, lies completely flat. It's one of those ideas that are so innovative it begs the question, why didn't we think of that?

Most Creative Movie Posters
Coming off of our post about the most creative business cards, we now present a collection of the most eye catching movie posters of all time. Smashing Magazine provides us with their selection of 50 Beautiful Movie Posters. The list includes some obviously iconic posters like Star Wars or Forrest Gump, but it also recognizes modern classics like The Dark Knight and Grindhouse. Many recent movies pay homage to the classic simplistic styles, but it is clear that artistic form can mark distinction in a sometimes overcrowded and forgettable market. It's nice to know that innovative graphic designers will always have a place in the movie industry.

The Dilemmas of TV Product Integration
As technology like TiVo or internet streaming enables individuals to avoid advertising, the industry has sought ways to sneak into the shows themselves. The moral dilemma of corporate control was often dodged during the age of record viewers, but as television budgets tighten and viewers seek alternatives to the tube, network execs push product integration into the plots themselves. While this long hated practice is often fought by the writers and actors, it is arguably an inevitable development in our favorite characters' lives. Tina Fey mocked product placement on 30 Rock, but it was in response to actually needing the advertising money for production. NY Magazine writes about the complexity of the issue and the surprising twists behind the scenes to successfully integrate products into plots:
It is indeed possible to create subversive comedy that also sells Yarises. On most TV series, brands are woven indiscernibly into each plot twist—while on others they are referenced openly, with tremendous finesse, because there's no longer any distinction between what's funny and what moves the needle. Characters are designed as shills or consumers from day one. Shows themselves are brands, actors are brands, and so are songs and sodas, and these entities link and detach with the elegance of acrobats. No one will see a distinction between a scriptwriter and a copywriter—least of all an audience member—because that frog has boiled beyond recognition.

Hi, Ho, Silver! Late one night last July, Bristol police had to use a rope to capture a riderless horse that was galloping down Main Street. The horse was returned to its owner.

Every sport has its own nostalgia.
Red Sox fans remember where they were when the Curse of the Bambino was finally broken. Patriots partisans know exactly how Tom Brady engineered that last Super Bowl-winning drive. Basketball fans even trek to the dreary hall of fame in Springfield, Mass.
But few sports are as redolent with nostalgia as downhill skiing is.
It's been true for decades that in Vermont most of us no longer live or work on farms. Addison County sometimes even seems to be slowly suburbanizing.
So it's easy to forget how wrapped up Vermont's identity remains with agriculture — from the beauty of our landscape to the local produce at the natural foods store around the corner.
While our politics are often dominated by concerns about energy, social services and healthcare, agriculture still has a big role to play.
I knew as soon as I walked back into the office that there was a problem.
I had two of the big three — my wallet and keys. But I couldn't locate my iPhone.
After several frantic searches of the car, I called the café where I'd been sitting outside while I worked on email and quaffed a coffee. They checked the tables where I'd been sitting and didn't see the phone.
I always liked John best.
He had the most irreverent sense of humor. He wasn't afraid to make the kind of brutally frank social commentary that we heard from so few public figures back then.
John once said the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus," and he might have been right.
George was inscrutable, and Ringo was for girls — except for the girls who like Paul best. He was the cute one.
A woman takes her seat for a long train ride in a foreign country. She's a plant biologist who travels the world to study and document rare plant species. It's one more trip among many.
For the past two years, since her husband Michael died, she's been traveling even more. Sometimes staying ahead of the pain, sometimes just learning to live with it. (This is a true story, though the names and some details have been changed to protect the principals' identities.)
"In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to love," wrote the poet Tennyson.
But in the "I Spy" section of personal ads in Seven Days, the fancy of men and women isn't restricted to springtime. It turns to love all year round.
The Burlington-based alternative weekly has been running I Spy ads for most of its nearly 20 years, helping casual strangers make romantic connections.
What's the true nature of our expensive healthcare system? Is it an overregulated mess that's crying out for free-market forces to improve quality and lower costs, by expanding competition among providers?
Or is it an under-regulated mess that's crying out for a single-payer system to improve quality and lower costs, by eliminating the expensive, greedy middlemen known as insurance companies?
Step into this house, girl, and I'll sing for you a song. I'll tell you all about where I've been. It shouldn't take too long.
I lived with the decent folks in the hills of old Vermont. Where what you do all day depends on what you want.
I took up with a woman there when I was just a kid, and I smile like the sun to think of the loving that we did. Yankee lady so good to me, Yankee lady, just a memory.
