Rules for Would-Be Interviewers of Lee "Scratch" Perry
In which the author contemplates strategies for interviewing a dub legend and recounts his less-than-successful attempt.
Rule #1: Be a fan.
Lee "Scratch" Perry is a 70-plus-year-old reggae icon. He is not some Williamsburg douchebag who just graduated from Vassar and made one catchy world/house 12-inch that got a lot of MySpace hits and a cover story in The Fader—he's from Jamaica. He didn't hear about reggae by listening to Jamiroquai or the Clash or by studying the music of former British colonies in a nine-week seminar at an elite liberal arts institution—he helped invent it. He didn't read about Bob Marley in Rolling Stone or catch some kind of Rasta fashion wave—he produced the Wailers. So don't go trying to, somehow, ironically interview Lee "Scratch" Perry like you might ironically interview, like, Britney Spears or Black Dice. This man is not a bumbaclot. He is a genius. And ironic interviews are worthwhile only when the interviewer and interviewee have shared experiences that makes the irony palpable and humorous. But, in the case of Mr. Lee "Scratch" Perry...
Rule #2: Don't expect "shared" experiences.
Unless you're from Trenchtown, have dreadlocks, and were a pioneering reggae producer who, after allegedly and inexplicably burning down your studio, equally inexplicably live in Switzerland, you probably don't have much in common with Lee "Scratch" Perry. So, just because you yourself happen to be in a band and have a studio of your own, and have a hard-earned appreciation for reverb and tape delay (two effects essential to the production of dub music), don't naively expect Lee "Scratch" Perry to respond to a question like "Why are you so fascinated with tape delay?" or "What's the deal with all the reverb?" which much enthusiasm. Because, even though this is an honest question ("honest" = a question that you sincerely yearn to know the answer to) and you ask it because you yourself have often wondered why musicians are so obsessed with reverb and delay in recordings and live settings that don't seem to warrant such effects, Lee "Scratch" Perry is not conflicted about his use of reverb and tape delay and, just because you might fancy yourself an engineer, Lee "Scratch" Perry doesn't necessarily want to talk about reverb and tape delay with you. Because.....
Rule #3: The stereotypes are true.
Rastafarians talk about ganja, and Babylon, and Jah, and "I." Now, I'm not sure if Lee "Scratch" Perry is Rastafarian–since, like many Rastafarians (or, at least, Bad Brains) his relationship to his presumed faith seems cursory or opaque (though, as a lapsed Catholic, I know that's true for me as well)—but I do know that Lee "Scratch" Perry is from Jamacia and, as a pioneering reggae producer, certainly spent a lot of time with Rastafarians and certainly has spent a lot of time smoking marijuana. Now, I went to an elite liberal arts college and spent a lot of time reading Karl Marx and Thomas Pynchon. For these reasons, I think and talk a lot about Marxism and have a Thomas Pynchon tattoo, just as one might expect me to. So, just as the stereotype of a "wealthy elite liberal arts graduate" fits me, so does the stereotype "he talks about ganja, Bablylon, Jah, and 'I' all the time" fit Mr. Lee "Scratch" Perry. Now, I don't only talk about Karl Marx and get Thomas Pynchon tattoos. Sometimes, I watch Summer School starring Mark Harmon and lose money playing 1-3 Texas Hold 'Em. So, I'm sure Lee "Scratch" Perry just doesn't want to talk about ganja, and Babylon, and Jah, and "I" all the time. Maybe he wants watch Summer School, or play 1-3 Texas Hold 'Em, or talk about the Brady Bunch or the tragedy of the commons. However, when I attempted to interview Lee "Scratch" Perry, he did not raise these subjects but seemed focused on ganja, Bablyon, Jah, and "I." However, I'm not quite sure if that's true, because I...
Rule #4: Don't expect to understand Lee "Scratch" Perry.
Now, when I say, "Don't expect to understand Lee 'Scratch' Perry," I don't mean that you shouldn't expect to understand—in a philosophical, political, or musical sense—where Lee "Scratch" Perry is coming from, or what he's been through, or where he is now, or where he's going. Instead, when I say, "Don't expect to understand Lee 'Scratch' Perry," I mean "Don't expect to understand the words that are coming out of Lee 'Scratch' Perry's mouth" in the Chris Tucker sense, at least not in a telephone interview conducted from your home in, say, Washington, D.C., on a cheap T-Mobile cell phone tenuously connecting you to a musical visionary who just got off a plane in Switzerland. Because Lee "Scratch" Perry has an accent, and boy...it really is an accent. Instead, expect an interview that produces notes that look a lot like this:
introduce myself
just got in from france...into switzerland...
how are things
very cold 2 degrees.
do you mis jammacia
we go to jammacia all the time. i 'm bored and want to see my house....i will own it forever.
where record now
in switzerland...in amacia...with michelle in the congo.
black ark...
I've got my own studio at home in switzerland...not every day and every night
black ark
after jammacia....
has your music changed?
the music changed because of sampling. when i was ijammacia, i ahd
black musicians. in switzerland, i have white musicians.
what's the difference
most of my fans are white. there is no difference. why. whatever suit the children suit me. I'll be a child forever. whatever makes them happy that what's makes me happy.
what's if you r fascination with delay?
i had a special sound. internationally. i had a sound that the tree of
knowledge...more knowledge than
And then expect to, in a moment of panic, invent a problem with your cell phone so that you can get off the phone with the unintelligible Lee "Scratch" Perry and e-mail his publicist to request an in-person interview in the hope of understanding the pearls of wisdom that drop daily from Mr. Lee "Scratch" Perry's mouth—an interview that will never be scheduled.
Lee "Scratch" Perry plays at the 9:30 club tonight.

Plant runner beans now and these vegetables will thrive in the warm, moist soil and quickly twine up their supports. At this time of year you can still sow seeds, which will produce a good harvest of succulent pods, or you can buy young plants. Either way, you'll get a delicious crop that tastes much better that the out-of-season beans from supermarkets.
If you are growing runner beans from seed, sow a few extra as a back up in case some plants die. Either sow these directly in the soil or into modular seed trays of multi-purpose compost to germinate indoors.
Water the compost in the pots of young bean seedlings an hour before planting. The roots of the plants should be well developed, but not pot-bound in the container.
Erect a wigwam of bamboo canes or sticks over well-prepared soil. Using a trowel, dig a hole at the base of each cane and set plants with the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil. Fill around the roots with soil and firm the plant in place using your fingers. Water the plants well before applying a 5cm-deep mulch of damp compost around the base of the plants to help conserve soil moisture.
Make a shallow dent in the soil near the plants, fill it with water and it will soak down to their roots, rather than running off the soil surface.

Does anybody know how big the runner beans get before you pick them? I have no idea and they are starting to grow already! I dont want to pick them too early and not too late!
24/11/2011 at 15:28
Hi Thank you for the information on growing beans. I found it very useful.Siorapwil

Hi there. I have scarlet runner beans growing this year and it is first time with this variety. Can anyone tell me how many days it normally takes from flower to pod harvest. I've googled and read all my magazines without any luck.
24/11/2011 at 15:28
Its nice to refresh myself with your tips on runner beans. This year Im sowing them around my dads garden as he has a 20ft metal pipe frame which always gives us a great crop.
24/11/2011 at 15:29
Should you include runner beans in your crop rotation? I was told years ago that you leave them in the same place each year but dig a trench and fill it with compostable materials. Any ideas?

One of the best instructors I had in grad school was the first person to say the phrase "when you see hoofprints look for horses, when you don't find horses, look for zebras." The importance of this did not strike me until I was deeper into practicing as a psychologist.
I have a lot of people come into my office at various stages of explaining what is happening with them. Some people will say "I don't know" straight away, whereas others have created a complex narrative. But we can have a tendency in our search for explanations to latch onto things that we read online or heard about on a TV show that have very little probability of being accurate. That is looking for zebras before horses.

Hands down this is my favourite of the lighthouse photos - really like the long view. Technically this is such a fine image, with the bright cloud playing off the lighthouse, the components all following the 'rule of thirds' - perfect. If I had to find fault (and yup, looks like I do), the sea appears to be running toward Brisbane at a bit of an angle.

London: Business social network LinkedIn and online dating service eHarmony said Wednesday that some of their users' passwords were stolen and millions appear to have been leaked onto the Internet.
LinkedIn Corp. did not say how many of the more than six million passwords that were distributed online corresponded to LinkedIn accounts. In a blog post Wednesday, the company said it was continuing to investigate.
Graham Cluley, a consultant with UK Web security company Sophos, recommended that LinkedIn users change their passwords immediately.
LinkedIn has a lot of information on its more than 160 million members, including potentially confidential information related to jobs being sought. Companies, recruiting services and others have accounts alongside individuals who post resumes and other professional information.
Later Wednesday, eHarmony said the passwords of a "small fraction" of its users had been compromised. The site, which says it has over 20 million registered online users, did not say how many had been affected. But tech news site Ars Technica said it found about 1.5 million passwords leaked online that appeared to be from eHarmony users.
The dating service said on its blog that it had reset the passwords of the affected users, who would receive an email with instructions on how to set new passwords. It recommended all its users adopt "robust" passwords.
There's added concern that many people use the same password on multiple websites, so whoever stole the data could use the information to access Gmail, Amazon, PayPal and other accounts, Cluley said.
Before confirming the breach, LinkedIn issued security tips as a precautionary measure. The company said users should change passwords at least every few months and avoid using the same ones on multiple sites.
LinkedIn also had suggestions for making passwords stronger, including avoiding passwords that match words in a dictionary. One way is to think of a meaningful phrase or song and create a password using the first letter of each word.
Cluley said hackers are working together to break the encryption on the passwords.
"All that's been released so far is a list of passwords and we don't know if the people who released that list also have the related email addresses," he said. "But we have to assume they do. And with that combination, they can begin to commit crimes."
It wasn't known who was behind such an attack.
LinkedIn's blog post had few details about what happened. It said compromised passwords have been deactivated, and members with affected accounts will be sent emails with further instructions.
While the passwords appear to be encrypted, security researcher Marcus Carey warned that users should not take solace from such security measures.
"If a website has been breached, it doesn't matter what encryption they're using because the attacker at that point controls a lot of the authentication," said Carey, who works at security-risk assessment firm Rapid7. "It's 'game over' once the site is compromised."
Cluley warned that LinkedIn users should be careful about malicious email generated around the incident. The fear is that people, after hearing about the incident, would be tricked into clicking on links in those emails. Instead of getting to the real LinkedIn site to change a password, it would go to a scammer, who can then collect the information and use it for criminal activities.
LinkedIn said its emails will not include any links.
Shares of LinkedIn, which is based in Mountain View, Calif, gained 8 cents to close Wednesday at $93.08.
EHarmony is a private company based in Santa Monica, Calif.

text: Hi All, A few years back I purchased an R65/7 frankenbike with the intention of turning into a cafe racer. Then along came kid number one and I mothballed it till now. I am going over the bike and putting a parts list together so that I can finally start bringing it back to life and finishing the project. But I am having a hard time identifying what kind of forks and discs were used on the bike. I heard they are from a K bike, but that is all I know. For now just going to clean them up, they worked great when I was riding the bike. But the discs look like they are not long for this world and I know from a past once over that they are not thick enough to be turned. Here is a photo https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzhkezR92-1RTTAzZ3piRmxRYk0/edit?usp=sharing I was hoping someone out there can identify them. Thanks for the help!

Fame creates a false sense of familiarity. For a person as famous as Jerry Seinfeld, whose TV shows still flood America's living rooms on a daily basis, discovering some new facet of personality comes as a shock. Yet the debut of his web series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," with Seinfeld and Larry David reuniting over a 1952 Volkswagen Beetle, also reveals a new part of Seinfeld that's never been so public -- earnest, knowledgeable car guy.
This 13-minute video is part of a series Seinfeld shot with comedians and funny people, including Ricky Gervais and Alec Baldwin, yet Seinfeld introduces the car and himself as if it's his first time putting video in front of people's faces. The banter between David and Seinfeld sounds just like what'd one might expect, but the tone changes when Seinfeld pulls up along a tricked-out Bugatti Veyron and makes the apt comparison between two Volkswagen products built six decades apart.
And the episode's title -- "Larry Eats A Pancake" -- reveals its true mission: Slowly revealing far more about the circumscribed dietary habits and tighty wound underwear choices of Larry David than anyone should be comfortable with. What kind of man doesn't like a hot lunch? (If the video below's not loading, you can see the episode here.)

Dish: Khao Soi Gai
Place: Little Uncle, Capitol Hill
Price: $8.80
On the plate: Per the menu: "Chiang Mai curry egg noodles, stewed chicken, pickled mustard, fried shallots." "Mustard" is mustard greens. There's also red onion, bean sprouts, ginger strips, cilantro, a lime wedge, and fried noodles.
Supporting cast/What to do: Buy this to-go, and you'll get separate packages--noodles and fresh ingredients in one, and curry in the other. Mix them together at home. But if you eat on-site, it all comes in one bowl, with a side of dried chile flakes. Squeeze some lime, mix the broth well, and add flakes as you like.Noodling around: Little Uncle's Khao Soi Gai gives you two types of noodles. Get your bowl and you immediately notice the tangles of fried noodles tempting you to grab them by hand and start eating them. Below the broth you find the soft noodles. Little Uncle uses Rose Brand egg noodles from the International District's Tsue Chong Company.
Leading with the two kinds of noodles, texture is the most compelling aspect of this bowl. The fried shallots add more crunch, and there's also the ginger, the bean sprouts, and the flavorful chicken--both dark meat and white meat--from Mad Hatcher.
The balance of flavors is also fabulous. I especially like the use of pickled mustard greens, with both stems and leaves present. I only wish there was more depth to the light, chicken-based broth, which is clean and refined and made with fresh-squeezed coconut milk. The curry flavor does get a boost from the dried chile flakes, so I eventually emptied the whole cup into the bowl.
Pricing is perhaps a little high for the portion size, but you're paying for high-quality ingredients.
If you want more: Sala Bao ($3.30 each) are braised beef cheeks in a steamed bun. They come with pickles and fried garlic, and are a nice starting bite. You can also check to see what dessert is being featured. The day I tried the noodles, I opted for Nam Keng Sai ($5.50), made with an old-fashioned shaved ice maker. Mine had lychee, jackfruit, and rhubarb along with coconut syrup, but the fruits will change with the season.
Be aware/beware: Little Uncle is essentially a street food place right on Madison Street. You order at the "window," or online where you can designate a 15-minute window for arrival. Most people get their food to go, though there are a few tables on the sidewalk, and one tucked into the building alongside the kitchen, safeguarded a bit from the elements. Your food is freshest if you eat on-site, but you'll be dealing with bus noise and the like.
The menu changes frequently, so you'll want to check online to see what's on offer.

Why the End of 'Craft' Beer Is Just a Tax Break Away
Top 50 craft beers by volume, Deschutes, Bell's, Matt and Brooklyn ranked No. 5, 7, 8 and 11, respectively. Among all American brewers -- including A-B InBev, MolsonCoors, Pabst and some of the castoffs mentioned above -- they rank No. 12, 14, 15 and 18. Their production is still less than a quarter of Boston Beer's, but they're among the Brewers Association's heavier hitters and are brands that group proudly considered "craft."More importantly, they helped the Brewers association increase its revenues 23% last year, to $13.4 million. That's nearly double the $6.8 million the group amassed in 2008 and has given the organization a war chest of $1.3 million in cash on hand and $5.6 million in its reserves, according to Beer Marketer's Insights. That's not a huge stockpile in D.C. terms, but it's a huge increase in lobbying power for such a small organization. The problem is that it's not clear who the Brewers Association is spending that money for. Even its strongest allies are having a hard time fitting the definition of "small" brewers lately. Chico, Calif.-based Sierra Nevada got its start in the late 1970s and has grown to produce roughly 900,000 barrels of beer. Its founder and chief executive, Ken Grossman, told us last year about the company's plan to expand to a facility in Asheville, N.C., supervised by his son. That would push Sierra over 1 million barrels of production and make Sierra a legacy brewer along the lines of Yuengling, Coors and even Anheuser-Busch. New Belgium Brewing co-founder and Chief Executive Kim Jordan told us just last month about her brewery's own expansion plans in Asheville and what they'd mean to the company she helped start in 1991. Currently brewing about 750,000 barrels a year, New Belgium's production would also easily exceed 1 million barrels once the facility is completed in 2015. Lyons, Colo.-based Oskar Blues is already brewing in Asheville and California-based breweries Lagunitas and Green Flash announced plans to open brewing facilities in Chicago and Virginia Beach, respectively. Boston Beer shares have traded publicly for years. So what happens now? Does the Brewers Association excommunicate the whole lot of them and throw them into the "crafty" pile with Goose Island, Widmer, Red Hook, Magic Hat, Pyramid, Mendocino and all the other breweries it's tried to strip of the "craft" label for esoteric reasons? Or do brewers push drinkers a step closer to ditching the "craft" label altogether and calling it all "beer?" When those choosing the latter include Oliver and brewers such as Ken and Rob Widmer and Larry Bell -- who've been in the industry for 30 years apiece -- the end of "craft" may be a tax break away. -- Written by Jason Notte in Portland, Ore. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Jason Notte. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/notteham. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com now, there are only three breweries producing more than 2 million barrels a year and fewer than 6 million -- Boston Beer (2.7 million in 2012), North American Breweries (2.725 million) and Yuengling (2.79 million). The Brewers Association doesn't like Yuengling because its more-than-a-century-old recipe calls for maize and it doesn't like North American Breweries because it's owned by a Costa Rican conglomerate. It loves Boston Beer, however, because its sales keep the numbers up and its founder, Jim Koch, is sincere in his belief that the continued innovation of Samuel Adams styles keeps his beer "craft." Tough to argue that point, but Boston Beer is more than just Sam and its numbers get a big boost from both Angry Orchard cider and Twisted Tea malt beverages. Though the Beer Institute clarifies that Gary Fish of Deschutes did not attend any meetings with lawmakers on the BEER Act, and F.X. Matt head Nick Matt made clear his position was in broad opposition to beer tax increases, and not specifically in support of the BEER Act, even those small gestures hold big significance. The brewers that crossed the threshold by supporting or refusing to outright dismiss the BEER Act -- and make no mistake, a line was crossed -- aren't exactly lightweights themselves. When the Brewers Association ranked its

May 6, 2016
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colorado (AP) -- The U.S. military says North Korea's first stage of a missile fell into the Yellow Sea, while the other two stages failed.
North American Aerospace Defense Command officials say the U.S. detected and tracked the launch of the North Korean missile at 6:39 p.m. EDT. NORAD says the missile went south over the Yellow Sea about 165 kilometers west of Seoul. Stages two and three failed and no debris fell on land.
NORAD says the missile and the debris were never a threat.
Pyongyang says the Unha-3 rocket was meant to send a satellite into orbit to study crops and weather patterns, while the U.S. and other believe it to be a cover to test missile technology.

So i know in the past i may have said i wouldnt get it but ive ben researching and i may just change my mind. I know DH wont get it, he doesn believe in vaccines. Im pretty sure my 3yr old got it from the drs visits so at that point it would only be DH without it if i decide to get it.
Anyways my question is....if i decide to get it do i ask my OB for it, PCP or at the hosp? My OB has nvr brought up the vaccine. The only thing they ever offered was the Flu shot which I denied. For those of you who do not work in a medical setting and recieved the shot, who did you recieve it from?
Thanks and again this is not ment to be a debate or a bashing, just a question

"Symi, Dodecanese Island" Symi by Custodyspice
Symi Travel Guide: 226 reviews and 366 photos
I spent a day in Symi whilst in Rhodes. A short boat trip from Rhodes Island, Symi is also close to Turkey. It is mountainous and rocky, but also has pine forests. The only way to get around the island is by boat. The houses sit steep and resemble sugar cubes. Symi used to be famous for sponge diving and boat building, but tourism has now taken over.
Symi is divided into two parts - Gailos, the port/harbour with tavernas, bars and cafes. Shops sell sponges and spices. Chorio is the quieter upper part which is more picturesque with lots of cobbled alleyways. There are 350 steep steps to link the two parts. Not for the faint hearted.

More like refusal of taking meds. He's like this with any meds. Took him 6 years to finally take the liquid fever/cough syrup without a fight. He's been like this since birth. Not exaggerating either. He would spit it up every time. So now he's got a pill to take for ADD and he refuses to take it. I don't want to force him to take it. When he gets to be an adult he will just not take it. I've tried the reasoning with him and pointing out the positives of taking it and direct behavior affects. He's taken it once before and a friend of ours and I both were telling him how good he was being that day to accentuate the good. He even said he felt better. It's the actual taking the pill that he is refusing. He wants it in a chewable, but I know him. Once he chews it it will taste bad and he won't swallow it either. He's just got a thing for taking medicine. I don't understand. Our 2 year old and my 10 mo. old both take meds well. In fact, my baby takes it better than all of them. How do I get him to voluntarily take it and want to take it????????????????????

Midwest-based Executives Address How To Create Value Through Sustainable Practices At World Business Council For Sustainable Development Regional Conference
DELAWARE, Ohio, Aug. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Executives from 80 leading corporations, NGOs and other organizations based in the U.S. Midwest – and reporting an aggregated $2.1 trillion in revenue – met to discuss how their organizations could accelerate their sustainable practices at the second annual World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) U.S. Midwest Conference. Held on the Columbus, Ohio campus of The Ohio State University on Aug. 2, the conference was co-sponsored by Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), SC Johnson, Battelle and the Dow Chemical Company.Representatives from the invited organizations discussed U.S. water trends; tactics that companies can employ to promote and accelerate more sustainable consumption; and the implications of Rio+20 for corporations. Organizations also shared best practices to foster collaboration at the national and regional levels. Greif Executive Chairman Michael Gasser welcomed the group, setting the tone for the day. "This meeting is action oriented," he said. "So first, I challenge us all to reach a combined 1 percent water and energy use reduction by next year's conference." Gasser continued, "Sustainability drives innovation for corporate leaders who are managing their businesses for long-term growth – and creating a better future for their children's children." In his keynote remarks, WBCSD President Peter Bakker said, "Everyone talks about sustainability, but the world is not getting better. We need radical change. We need to act now." According to the WBCSD report Vision 2050, nine billion people will share the planet by mid-century. Twenty-nine leading global companies from 14 industries collaborated to write the report, which resulted from an 18-month combined effort of CEOs, sustainability experts and more than 200 companies and external stakeholders in 20 countries. It features agreed-upon must-haves if the world's population in 2050 is to live well and within the limits of the planet's resources. Geneva, Switzerland-based Bakker said, "If we are to save the world, it is business that will have to do it, and the U.S. must lead. "The question is, how can we scale up sustainability as part of the core of our business, as part of the core of our economic model to truly transform the world?"

Ted Simons: The Phoenix Convention Center earlier this year hosted the 8th Annual Border Security Expo. The two-day event attracted policymakers, members of law enforcement and a number of vendors. Producer Christina Estes and photographer Juan Magana visited the exhibit hall where it seemed no move went unnoticed.
Vendor: It offers night vision capability.
Vendor: We do people counting. Reverse flow detection. We count the individuals on a 15-minute increment.
Christina Estes: Among more than 100 companies showing off their latest tools --
Vendor: This is called the Dragon Runner 20.
Christina Estes: It was a small, quiet booth that really caught our eyes.
Kevin Haskins: We're showing the premier facial recognition software.
Christina Estes: Cognatech system is a German company with a powerful reach.
Kevin Haskins: It's being used in airports, around the world. The camera captures your face and it's using pattern technology to look at this part of your face. Just above your eyebrow to just above your lip. There's patterns and contours within your face just like a fingerprint.
Christina Estes: From a single image Haskin says they can determine with a degree of certainty your race, gender and age within about five years. They can verify you're the person on your passport or driver's license or run your face through a watch list or suspect database. When it comes to more challenging pictures---
Kevin Haskins: Running recognition right now we still have enough from the face to come up with a hit. But that's generally not good enough.
Christina Estes: They put a 2D image into a 3D recognition level to generate facial characteristics.
Kevin Haskins: With that information -- we now have a match-up of suspect at this point.
Christina Estes: They collect location information too. If a person is showing up somewhere more often than usual Haskins says they can alert police.
Kevin Haskins: We're talking about facial recognition, not anything that a human can't do. We're just making it faster, quicker and more reliable.
Joe Battaglia: This is used to surveillance large areas of the border.
Christina Estes: New York-based Telephonics already has more than 20 truck-mounted systems along our southern border. This is their latest model.
Joe Battaglia: He's got maps of the local area on his computer. He can expand, he can zoom in on certain areas right down to a street level, down to a house level. He can actually see what's going on.
Christina Estes: The mast can reach 30-feet high with cameras that can track people ten miles away.
Joe Battaglia: We have found we have numerous international opportunities for this. As you well know, there are lots and lots of borders around the world with lots and lots of people that don't like each other.
Christina Estes: For those who don't like the possible invasion of privacy, Battaglia says --
Joe Battaglia: You can't have it both ways. The system is built to defend the people, and in order to do that you have to have knowledge of what's going on in the area. The only way you can do that is through some of the electronic devices that we have.
Christina Estes: In 1996, Swedish company Axis Communications became the first to release a surveillance camera that could transmit data through the internet.
John Merlino: The way it's used has to be purposeful. I don't know that it needs to be regulated. Certainly I wouldn't say that, but it has to be done in a way that respects people's privacy. If people can use technology not just cameras to make their environment safer; they are generally in favor of it.
Christina Estes: Safety is not the only selling point. Retailers are using it to save and make money.
Kevin Haskins: If the shoplifter comes in, security receives the alert. If it's a VIP, concierge or buyer's assistant may receive that notice.
Christina Estes: Businesses also like to break down the demographics so they can figure out who is shopping when and where they are spending the most time.
Kevin Haskins: I was asked where do you see this in ten years? I can't tell you where it will be in six months. The technology is so evolving, so advancing that with our company what we're doing I'm amazed six months from now what we'll be releasing.
Ted Simons: It says the company prefers to partner with universities to work with young minds that might help come up with the next technological advancement.
Ted Simons: Thursday we'll talk about a disputed report that suggests cap water users may face shortfalls. We'll get the latest science news from physicist Lawrence Krauss. That's Thursday evening, 5:30 and 10, right here on "Arizona Horizon."
Ted Simons: That is it for now. I'm Ted Simons. Thank you so much for joining us. You have a great evening.

The determination of serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels remains the most useful laboratory study in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia. The iPTH assay has been particularly valuable in distinguishing the two commonest hypercalcemic disorders, primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancy, which together account for more than 80% of cases of persistent hypercalcemia (1-3).

Hoya of some description.
Viola cornuta minor alba is a seed weed in this garden. I spend my life pulling it out of the paths. Shame as it is a nice little plant. Did grow one with speckled pale blue flowers, but the snails kept on eating it to nothing so it eventually gave up.
Pruning is dead easy, just cut the stems off just above a pair of leaves or a bud,if no leave l visible. Sounds brutal, but Clematis can and do grow well over 12 feet long new stems over Summer, if well fed of course.
Our soil is very well drained peaty silt which may be why they enjoy it.
I was once stopped in the street by a very pretty teenage girl, trying to talk to me about Religion. I said that I could never join any sect which encouraged young girls to accost male strangers in the street. Funny, they stopped doing it after that!
There did used to be a few 'tiff's take place on the old Beeb site. Remember the Hedgehog row? And the Lady who responded pretending to be her solicitor?
Ah, those were the days.
I belong to a few Gardening sites and they are all as friendly as this one. Must be something to do with the type of people who garden.
Now Hesperantha coccinea. If it likes your garden, as it does ours. it will spread like wild fire. We have had all the available colours over the years, but they seem to revert to red (or they self seed and the red form is more robust and kills off the others). They grow from corms by the way.
Grasses are best split in Spring, That is when they make new root growth. They may just sulk if done now as they will not put out new roots until next year.
When we were clearing up this land, we found the base of the old outside toilet. Since the old houses on site had no running water or sewerage, the toilet itself was just a bucket with a seat on it. The contents would eventually have been dug into the garden, usually the Veg plot too.
So for those worried about urine in the compost, by the time you come to use the stuff on the garden, the urine will have long been broken down by soil bacteria.
All the V.x bodnantense are scented, the difference between the three is the shade of pink of the flowers.

How to handle trouble at dog parks.
The dog gave her a bad feeling even before he charged at her. Later she would say that she felt the fear in her body before it reached her mind. That can happen when a dog stiffens, stares intensely or runs right at you, and this dog did all three. Once he picked up speed, a low growl in his throat, her "bad feeling" became definable as fear. She was worried for her own safety and even more...

Park maintenance is normally not an issue that most pay attention to. We probably blindly trust that weed clearing is done with minimum impact to us and our dogs.

A change is in order
Dog parks have always been controversial, but they've also always provided opportunities for dogs to run and play off leash in wide-open spaces. It's hard to deny the cliché that dog parks create both the best of times and the worst of times.

[Read: 54% of Americans Feel This Way About Their Finances]
Refiners Primed to Regain Pricing Power
(HES) and Holly (HFC), most price relationships tend to revert to the mean. This will most likely remain true for the relationship between crude oil and gasoline prices. The price relationship between these two commodity markets is sitting right at the high of its 17-year range. In our experience, commodity spreads like this one, rarely remain at price extremes for very long. This means, in the near future, gasoline prices should rally strongly in relation to crude oil prices. All of these points ultimately create an improving environment for oil refinery stocks, and a potential buy point. When these companies see a drop in their input costs compared to the prices they can charge through a retail outlet, their margins should swell. This would reward stockholders. At the very least, the primary driver for the substantial declines in the refinery sector should be waning.Historically, situations like this one have shown refinery stocks to at least perform well compared to the broad market. What does this mean? If an investor is bearish on stocks as a whole and looking for short-sell candidates, refining stocks are probably not ideal. Also, investors looking to create a neutral portfolio could buy refining stocks and sell short a broad market ETF, like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). This pairing says, "I like the improving conditions for refining companies, but I'm unsure about the broad stock market". There are a number of ways to take advantage of the changes coming to the refining sector, and well-informed investors should be rewarded for identifying these developments. Many of the oil-refining companies have been shunned by portfolio managers and general investors as a whole, which has helped to push prices lower by up to 33%. Now may be the time to view this decline as a gift, rather than the start of a new bear market within the sector.At the time of publication, Andrew McCormick, MKC Global Investments, LLC and the MKC Global Fund, LP are long December Mini Russell 2000 futures.

we have a 22 month old boy named Kayden Jacob. and we cannot agree on any girls names. my husband loves Laura Lynn (after his family members), but it's not my style at all. we liked Madison, but we have heard that used a lot lately. i also like Audrey, Kayla, Ashlyn, Noelle. any other ideas???
need a name, running out of time!!
My favorite is Noelle. My 2nd choice would be Audrey. I don't really care for the others.
Alexandra & Catherine's Mom
Well if you love Madison, I wouldn't worry about the popularity factor. Kayden is one of the most popular boys' names in my area.
Kayden & Laura don't go together at all. Laura sounds like Kayden's mom.
I like Audrey the best but feel like Taryn is a better sibset match with Kayden.
How about instead of Laura Lynn you go with Laurynn (combine both family names) for a fn or mn?
Audrey is my vote. What about Audrey Lauren?
Also what about Laurel (there's still Laura and has the extra "el" that Lynn adds to the mix)... maybe you'd like that better but it'd still make dh happy? Laurel Ashlyn?
~ Tyson
SAHM to Jake�Oct '06�and�Evan Dec '08
I like either Noelle or Audrey. Kayla, Taryn and Ashlyn are nmsaa but they do seem like they are of equal "trendiness factor" as Kayden.
Kayden Jacob and Audrey Laura get my vote!
Honey Bee married to Bumble Bee (Apr 2013)
Baby Bee (November 2015)
How about Audrey Noelle or pp suggestion Audrey Lauren?
Kayla is too close to your son's name, Kayden.
Madison is lovely, but so overused now...Ashlyn is very pretty as is Noelle.
Sibsets Audrey and Kayden sounds perfect!
DJ10/31/05 and AM 1/25/09
1. Noelle Laura (especially since I'm assuming she's due soon? And we're getting close to Christmas...) or Noelle Madison
2. Audrey Noelle or Audrey Lynn or Audrey Madison
3. Laura Lynn or Laura Noelle or Laura Madison
Taryn = sounds pretty but has no meaning... that would just bother me personally.
Ashlyn = still feels common, especially with Aislins coming to the surface now.
Kayla = too many Kaylas, Kaylees, Kaylins, and Kylies right now
Madison = waaaaaaaaaaaay toooooo popular! She probably always have to go by her last initial throughout school and sports because there will always be more than one. Madison X or Maddie X.
"Follow your own path and let people talk." ~ Dante
Audrey is my favorite since that's most likely what we're naming our DD due in a couple of weeks. It doesn't seem to really "go" with Kayden to me though.
I love Laura but I agree it seems very different from Kayden... I don't think they go together well. Laura's a bit too traditional for Kayden. Lauren would go better, imo.
Kayla is too close to Kayden!
Noelle is really pretty - love this one.
Ashlyn is nice, and fits well with Kayden to me. Taryn does too, but I think Ashlyn is much prettier.
Madison also seems to be a good fit, though personally I'm sick of it.
I picked Taryn. But as far as not chosing a name like Madison bc it's been used a lot I think you should still go for it if you like it thats all that matters.

3DMT Announces Online Quoting And Increased Capacity For RapidMIM Technology
DELAND, Fla., June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARCW), a leading global provider of advanced manufacturing and 3D printing solutions, announced its division, 3D Material Technologies, LLC ("3DMT"), has launched online quoting and increased capacity for its proprietary rapid metal injection molding technology ("RapidMIM"). RapidMIM, which 3DMT launched in late 2013, dramatically reduces the lead time necessary to produce production–quality MIM components from the typical six- to eight-week process. RapidMIM materially improves 'speed-to-market' for the traditional metal injection molding ("MIM") process to less than two weeks. The shortened lead-time provides designers and engineers with the ability to validate the form, fit, and function prior to final design freeze. Notably, the compressed validation time also provides for additional design optimization, thereby improving the final device performance and user experience. Further, by optimizing the design for manufacturability, customers ultimately reduce final device cost.The RapidMIM process is designed for short run volumes, providing customers with the ability to produce parts from the single digits into the thousands, without requiring a tooling investment. "Our proprietary technology provides for the design flexibility and material choices available in MIM for low volume production projects that aren't otherwise possible due to the cost of the mold tooling" said Ashley Nichols, General Manager of 3DMT. The RapidMIM process uses the same feedstock and materials as traditional MIM. Alloys available include low alloy steels, such as MIM-4605 and 4140, stainless steel alloys, such as 17-4PH and 316L, and super alloys, such as Inconel 718 and MAR-M-247. RapidMIM also utilizes the same processing route with debinding and sintering, therefore mechanical properties and surface finishes are comparable to traditional metal injection molding components. "For higher production volumes, customers can also use RapidMIM to validate their design and process on an expedited time line. While launching production with RapidMIM, customers can complete MIM tooling in parallel, thereby enabling projects to move into full production in less than a month," commented Ashley Nichols. "RapidMIM is a unique, efficient process that works symbiotically with the conventional MIM process offered by 3DMT's sister company, ARCMIM. The combination of these services and our 3D printing capabilities makes ARC a "one-stop shop" to our customers by offering a spectrum of highly advanced products, processes, and services across a variety of generic and proprietary base materials." "We have received significant traction since the introduction of our RapidMIM technology, and are excited to now launch our online quoting and increased capacity for this revolutionary process," said Jason Young, Chairman and CEO of ARC Group Worldwide. "We remain committed to bringing cutting edge technology and software solutions to the manufacturing industry. The automation of our proprietary online quoting software, which we have been developing since 2013, will help streamline and accelerate the quoting process. ARC's business model remains focused on helping our customers improve 'speed-to-market', by providing high quality, holistic manufacturing solutions. Further, we are uniquely positioned to seamlessly offer rapid prototyping, short run fabrication, and full run production capabilities to our customers." About ARC Group Worldwide, Inc.

Founded in 1987, the Company offers its customers a compelling portfolio of advanced manufacturing technologies and cutting-edge capabilities to improve the efficiency of traditional manufacturing processes and accelerate their time to market.

Icona Pop at Varsity Theater, 9/10/13

Icona Pop with K. Flay and Sirah
Varsity Theater, Minneapolis
Tuesday, September 10, 2013
When you have the word "icon" in your band name and your album (the EP Iconic), you better be able to live up to the hype. A cross between the Spice Girls -- albeit more subtle -- and Abba, Swedish duo Icona Pop brought their electro pop/indie rock to Minneapolis, all packaged nicely with a sponsorship by local radio station KDWB and the cosmetic company TIGI.
See Also: Slideshow: Icona Pop at Varsity Theater, 9/10/13
An Icona Pop concert is a whole experience -- complete with hair makeovers from hairstylists in booths. Thus if you showed up to the concert with a less-than-stellar 'do, there was no need to worry. Take a seat, and the stylists will tease and spray your hair into something big enough to block the view of the person behind you.
Either it was the hairspray in the air or the fog machine, but Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo of Icona Pop took to a smoky stage as the room quickly filled with a crowd primarily there to see a group that rose to fame based on one song. The two dressed in matching outfits -- one in black and the other in white, in a way representing yin and yang -- and platform shoes. Hjelt and Jawo made it a dance party, opening with the throbbing "We Got the World."
Photo by Tony Nelson
So, what is compelling about two girls who sing electro pop music to backing tracks, sometimes going to their keyboards and guitar? Well, it could be that they are attractive. That's an easy reason. Another may be that the two are stellar at allowing their harmonies to intertwine and rise above the fluttering beats and drops. Their songs are extremely catchy, such as "Good for You" and the anthemic "Girlfriend," telling the age-old mantra that your [girl] friend will always have your back even when the world has turned on you.
Photos by Tony Nelson
For those unfamiliar with the band's music, the show seemed to drag, especially on the slower pieces like "Manners" and "On the Road Again," which is a little difficult to do, especially when a show is only 13 songs long due to the all-ages curfew at 10 p.m. Not a problem, though; with their sweeping vocals, Caroline and Aino ended their regular set with the epic party tune "Weekend" (which essentially was just music and the lyrics "Get ready ready ready for the weekend/Grab somebody/Go live it up") and "All Night."
With barely a breath between the regular set and the encore, you knew they weren't going to leave without playing their hit "I Love It." Remixed and cut up, the song left out much of the chorus and the bulk of the piece, but -- to quote the song -- the crowd didn't care, they still loved it.
Critic's bias: Not a stellar show for me; even though there were some catchy songs, I was a little bored at times. I guess they didn't live up to their "icon" title. It will be interesting to see how they do in a few years -- if they will still be around or be reduced to VH1's "I Love the New Millennium" with people saying, "Oh, yeah, remember that summer when you couldn't get away from that song?"
The crowd: Surprisingly, a lot of young girls and guys.
Overheard in the crowd: "I really wish they would care." -- about "I Love It"
Random notebook dump: Spotted in the audience was local hip-hop artist Astronautalis.
Random notebook dump 2: Keep an eye out for K. Flay in the coming years. She is amazing and a lot of fun to watch.

Most other airlines, including Delta Air Lines Inc. and JetBlue Airways Corp., are asking passengers to reschedule Northeast flights to a later date. They're waiving the usual change fees of up to $150. But customers don't have a lot of time. Most waivers only allow passengers to reschedule within a week. That's in part because the busy Thanksgiving travel season is approaching, and airlines are eager to clear the traveler backlog.
JetBlue, which is the biggest domestic airline at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, said its operations had just gotten back to normal Monday after Sandy.
There's a dollars-and-cents reason that airlines cancel big swaths of their schedules well ahead of bad weather. Cancellations aren't as expensive for airlines as some might think.
Most passengers eventually reschedule, so the airline still collects the fare. And if flights are canceled, the airline doesn't have to pay the crew or the cost of burning fuel. Pilots and flight attendants only get paid once the main cabin doors close.
Many passengers on canceled flights are often squeezed onto another flight, which improves the airline's efficiency.
Airlines also are not required to pay for hotel rooms, food or other expenses for passengers stuck overnight due to the weather, as many stranded by Sandy learned to their dismay.
Surges from the current storm along the coasts of New Jersey and New York are expected to reach perhaps 3 feet, only a fraction of what Sandy caused. High winds, which may gust to 65 mph, could extend inland throughout the day, potentially hampering power restoration efforts or causing more outages.

(By Mani) Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) reported a better than expected October quarter displaying strong execution in a tough macro as profits rose 18 percent. While EMEA and government remain areas of concern, Asia Pacific, excluding China, performed well and the U.S. was better than expected.
The October quarter marks Cisco's fourth consecutive quarter of higher profits following four quarters of year-over-year profit declines.
Meanwhile, unified computing system (UCS), service provider video (SPV) and wireless added incremental revenue and gross margin expandion due to favorable product mix and tight cost controls pushing operating margins up 180 basis points (bps) year-over-year.
[Related -Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS): A Look At Opportunities And Threats]
Shares of the company have gapped open sharply higher Wednesday morning and broke out to a 3-week high. It rose as much as 8 percent to $18.25.
San Jose, California-based Cisco Systems is the largest vendor of data networking equipment and the leading global supplier of Internet networking solutions.
For the first quarter, the company reported net income of $2.1 billion, or 39 cents a share, compared with $1.8 billion, or 33 cents a share, for the year-ago quarter. Excluding items, it earned.48 cents a share, topping the Street view of 46 cents a share. Quarterly net sales for the first quarter rose 5.5 percent to $11.88 billion, which came in above analysts' consensus estimate of $11.77 billion.
[Related -Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO): What Cisco May Add To Next-Gen UCS?]
"We're still concerned with U.S. federal spending ahead of the fiscal cliff and believe U.S. enterprises are becoming more cautious given political uncertainty. That said, Cisco's breadth of products and strong execution should allow it to gain share of overall IT budgets," Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron said in a client note.
Cisco saw traction at SPV, which registered 30 percent growth in revenues, while wireless revenue advanced 38 percent, and UCS gained share against an overall decline in the server market. Gross margin widened 130bps on higher product mix, and along with tight opex control, operating margin moved up 180 bps to 27.9 percent.
However, book-to-bill was below 1.0 and product orders have decelerated for five straight quarters. EMEA remains challenged while the collaboration vertical has yet to turn around.
Nevertheless, the company's plan to leverage its scale and bolster R&D (SDN, etc.) is beginning to drive positive results, and cost efficiencies in sales and marketing also beginning to unfold while higher service attach rates and improving mix stand to benefit margins.
"We believe Cisco is still transforming with more revenue and cost initiatives ahead," Kidron said.
