Working At Glastonbury? Welcome to The Club
There is a special club that exists in the world today. It's fairly limited in its membership and those that are admitted to its collective rarely leave. Non-members tend to be a little mystified, imagining Freemason-type rituals and silly handshakes perhaps. Fellow brethren understand each other in an unspoken way. The name of this club? It doesn't really have a name, but if it did it would be something like "People Who Have Worked At Glastonbury". Rubbish, eh? That's probably why it hasn't got a name.
I've been a member of this clan since 2000. A fairly long time I suppose. Before that I was a fence-jumper. I went through, under, over the thing. I bought dodgy hand stamps from even dodgier security guards. I tried every blag possible to get in. Every year it was a given that I would go, it was assumed I would find a way through. I reconciled this in my head by telling myself that buying from the traders benefitted the festival in some roundabout way. A bit out of order, I know, and not unlike so-called 'vegetarians' who still eat fish.
Punter VS Worker
Responding to an advert for the festival's official website in 2000, I found myself, six weeks later, in the middle of Pyramid backstage feeling more than a little lost and bewildered. Busy isn't the word. Anybody who thinks that environment is lovely and fluffy and that Sienna Miller is going to come up and ask them if they want a swig of her vodka is living in a fantasy world. It's business, baby, all the way. Those stood around looking star-struck stick out like sore thumbs. Sienna is there, but she's not talking to you matey, now for God's sake stop flashing those wristbands and laminates around, you prize buffoon.
The reality is that doing Glastonbury as a worker will be unlike any festival (or any experience) you've ever known, but in a subtle way. Explaining these differences (even though there is NOTHING subtle about this place) is a tricky one. Remember that bit in Pulp Fiction where Samuel L. Jackson's character Jules is trying to explain Amsterdam? Glastonbury is like that. It's the real world, not a different planet, so the usual rules apply; you still have to be nice to people and if you want something done you might have to wait a bit for it. The barter culture works well though and it helps to have a good stash of beer to throw around. Instant results, if they're needed.
You'll see hardly any bands (though you will hear them). Your mates, if they're there, will all be off having the most amazing time, drinking cider until it comes out of their ears and you'll feel jealous. You'll wish, just for a moment, that you were a punter without responsibilities and that you could just drop it all and hit the Dance tent for a while, except you've got work to do….
A Day Job Like No Other
Then again, you'll find a camaraderie with your co-workers unlike any other. You'll understand the behemoth that is GFL far better than before, which means you'll be more tolerant when you're at a massive event in the future, instead of ripping into the 'shambles of a production' when a bar runs out of beer in front of you (cos let's face it, we've all been there). You'll get meal tickets, hot showers, good toilets, better access to get from A to B. You'll also get that magical moment when you realise it's all come together, that you've been part responsible for doing something really amazing. Whether that's feeding thousands of crew members, picking up litter, or keeping the site power up, it's all Worthy with a capital W.
You'll also get that bit that sends shivers down your spine, about a week after the festival, usually prompted by something on TV or a song on the radio, that sends you back to the farm, makes your eyes go a bit moist, and makes you realise that you'll never be able to do Glastonbury as a 'punter' ever again. It happens every year for every crew member I know. And that I guess, is the Royale With Cheese.*
This year is an interesting one for me as I will be working alongside the guy who took me to the festival for the first time so many years ago. He's been more times than I have and has always wondered what it's about to work here. Now he's about to find out for himself, which in a rather gooey way is something like seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child. #retches
(*those who haven't seen Pulp Fiction won't get that one either)

Nice one, Mr Stalker!
My 5th Glasto and first working, on the recycling crew…
Really looking forward to getting there on Thursday and being part of it!

Been working for the Glade stage since it started and this year as well as my "usual" job, I'm on Worthy FM Sunday night 7 til 8. I wouldn't even consider going as a "punter" anymore, I just really feel involved.

I totally agree. I came once as a punter and this is my sixth time on the recycling crew and I absolutely love it.
Yes, it's hard work and yes, I hate it when my alarm goes off at 5.15am and I realise I've got to do six hours of manual labour before I can have a Brother's but it's all worth it.
The camaraderie, the great catering and seeing things early in the morning that many people don't get to see (I work in Shangri-La) makes it a wonderful experience. Roll on Wednesday.

Faroes 1 Orkneys 2; Almost 40 Years Ago, the Little Orkney Islands Sent a Team of Local Fishermen, Sailors and Tradesmen to Tackle the Faroe Islands. They Won 2-1 and Went on to Win the North Atlantic Cup . . . How Alex McLeish Would Settle for the Same Scoreline as Scotland Try to Bury the Ghosts of Past International Nightmares
Byline: STEPHEN MCGOWAN
THEY were the first Scottish team to triumph in the Faroe Islands. And some 40 years on, the veterans of the Orkney Islands still have the glittering prize to prove it.
Amidst the stone and bronze age exhibits of the Tankerness House Museum in Kirkwall stands the North Atlantic Cup.
A handsome trophy worth a princely [pounds sterling]150 was donated by a Faroese businessman to persuade the Orcadians to participate with the Shetlands in a round-robin tournament. Few of the players hastily assembled from the best of the islands' amateur teams believed they would win it.
Over a five-year timespan just 12 games were played. When this epic event finished, the Orkneys had emerged undefeated from the scene of two of the Scotland national team's greatest embarrassments.
On the same Torshavn pitch where bemused Italian superstars Rino Gattuso and Bayern-bound Luca Toni ploughed their way to a narrow Euro 2008 victory on Saturday, the part-time amateurs showed Alex McLeish's men the art of the possible.
Scotland's last two visits to world football's bleakest outpost brought humiliation. In the Kirkwall and Stromness bars, the dismal displays remain a source of mild bemusement.
'It was amazing the night they drew 2-2 with Scotland,' recalls ex-Orkney captain Eric Kemp, twice a visitor to the Faroes and twice undefeated. Now the owner of an outdoor pursuits and sports store in Kirkwall the 65-year-old admitted: 'We must have been the only folk in the country with a wry grin that night. But the Faroes were always forward-thinking in football terms.
They were always destined to improve.
'They had flown in a Norwegian coach and I remember speaking to him before the game we won in 1968. He was a bit patronising, saying we had a good team but wouldn't beat them. We said to ourselves before the game: "We'll show him".' Like an international friendly, the two sides lined up before the games to meet local dignitaries.
Embarrassment may now be a familiar sensation when Scots footballers visit the islands, but in those rather straitlaced days the shame was of a more innocuous nature.
' There's a picture where I'm standing as captain holding a bunch of flowers they insisted on handing out,' said Kemp. 'I've never lived it down.' Yet in a sporting and friendship sense, the two games in Torshavn were a personal highlight. A 2-1 triumph in July 1968 was played in a mudbath wholly suited to the combative Scots islanders.
Orkney footballing historian Jockie Wood recalls a 6-6 draw with Hamilton Academicals in 1958, followed by a respectable 2-0 defeat to Hearts in 1973.
This was, however, unchartered territory.
'I don't think Orkney were in any way intimidated or overawed by the prospect of playing the Faroes,' said Wood. 'After all, they regularly took on Highland League opposition and gave as good as they got.' Yet, the fact that the victory of '68 is still recalled so many years on is indicative of its importance to the islands. A similar result for the Scots would suffice.
'There was great camaraderie between the boys,' Kemp added.
'But we all played for different teams in Orkney and had only really been training for about four weeks before the game, running together and things.
'We played on a cinder pitch and that gave us the impetus to win. It really bucketed down with rain before the game and the ball bounced really slowly.
That suited us fine because it was like that in Orkney the whole time.
'That won the game for us because in Orkney we liked a slide tackle and in those conditions it was easier. …

My friend is a smart guy. He graduated with honors with a BS in Physics and then attended medical school for a period. His addiction to alcohol has ruined his life.
I found out this week that the friends he was living with kicked out since they found him drinking again. The past few years he has been living with different friends and repeating the same patter. He would stay sober a couple months and use up their resources and then hit the bottle again once it appeared that he had hope for a brighter future.
It is a sad story since the guy is an excellent writer and a very good athlete.
When he stayed with me, he left a rough draft of the story of his drinking life that he was putting together.
I am going to share it with you here in parts. I think it is some outstanding writing. I hope this story motivates others who are facing the same inner demons as my friend seek the help they require so they can overcome their addcition and avoid the hardships he has had to and continues to endure.

Brookline man charged for 'zapping' his neighborApril 27,2013BROOKLINE — A Brookline man was arrested for violating a no trespass order and causing harm to an abutting landowner.
According to Vermont State Police Trooper Kurt Wagenbach, Kerry Bourne, 51, attached a metal wire to his electric horse fence, ran it through the woods onto his neighbor's property, and "zapped" the abutting landowner.

text: I was advised to get a ratcheted (clipless) shoe because the velcro would allow too much movement while riding. The shop that gave me the tip propsed a Perl Izumi Vortex but did not have my size (48). The wanted $100 for the shoe which included a discount for buying a bike from them. I have since moved and found a new bike shop which carried Specialized shoes. The guy here told me that he actually preferred velcro and made me a deal on the Comp Carbon Rd for $110. I think this is good value for the shoe but would like to hear some opinions on velcro vs ratchet on the top strap.

Mumbai, Dec 8 (IANS) Juhi Chawla, who keeps away from the limelight, says only substantial roles that suit her age can persuade her to step out of her comfort zone.
'I don't want to do roles that don't enthuse me. I'd rather be at home because there I've such lovely things happening to my life. I only want to do scripts that touch me. That's why I accepted Onir's 'Bas Ek Pal' and Nikhil Advani's 'Salaam-e-Ishq',' Juhi told IANS.
She has just said no to a comedy with Anant Mahadevan.
'He has an excellent script but somehow I don't feel it's right for me. I love doing comedy. But this role would've suited me a few years ago. See, I'm not under any false illusions about my age. I'm married and I've kids and the audience knows that. So I'd like to do roles that suit my real-life role.
'I like playing wife because I'm comfortable doing it. I don't want to be that bubbly collegian running around pubs. I don't want audiences to turn around and say, 'Why isn't she playing her age?' I was happy doing the cameo with Shah Rukh in 'Paheli'.'
Nowadays she gets offers mainly to play mom or wife.
'That's what suits me. 'Bas Ek Pal' and 'Salaam-e-Ishq' belonged to two totally different genres. 'Salaam-e-Ishq' was a big glossy Bollywood film and Nikhil Advani handled me very well. He was open to suggestions but still the master on the sets. Very organised.'
Although she is not in touch with the film industry, Juhi gets time to nourish her friendship with Shah Rukh Khan and Aziz Mirza.
'Though we are not working together, Shah Rukh and I continue to share a wonderful rapport. Then there's Aziz Mirza who's like a father figure. He keeps planning something or the other. I'd like to work with him again after 'Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman' and 'Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani'. He's a joyful filmmaker, my kind of director. But that's it. I live in town and the film industry is another world.'
Hiccups apart, Juhi is happy.
'It's not as if I wake up every single morning and say, 'My god, what a wonderful life!' But no complaints.'
Talking about her acting journey, she said: 'Aamir Khan se Rehaan Engineer tak - quite a journey,' Juhi chuckled about one of her first co-stars and her co-star in Onir's 'Bas Ek Pal'.
Things couldn't get any better for Juhi.
'Well,' she sighed. 'Career-wise I'm doing the kind of work I believe in. In 'My Brother Nikhil' I was the narrator. The story was from my point of view, but I guess someone else could've told the story, huh?'
She looks back fondly at the times that have rolled by.
'I had a great time, if not shooting a film then just being with the cast crew, laughing hard with co-stars, grumbling and giggling. I still enjoy myself on the sets. But there're many new talents, and it's great to be in their company. The industry has changed, and for the better.'
She doesn't crave to do more work.
'I like it the way it is right now. Not too much, not too little. This way I've time for everything I want to do. If a good role comes up I'm happy to do it. But I won't choose quantity over quality. That wasn't case earlier on. Now I'm picky.'
Recently she was seen with Manoj Bajpai in choreographer Ganesh Acharya's directorial debut 'Swami'.
'It was not exactly hardcore Bollywood but not entirely offbeat either. It was a simple and sweet story. My new film is new director Vivek Sharma's 'Bhootnath' where I get to play mom.'

Bollywood actor Imran Khan, who will be seen in a brand new Haryanvi avatar in his next film "Matru ki Bijlee Ka Mandola", said initially the character was very tough for him and he thought he had made a big mistake taking it up.
"During the first script reading of the film, I was unable to say the Haryanvi dialogues. It was not easy, I felt I made a big mistake and I should back out," he said at the trailer launch of the film here Tuesday evening.
Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the comedy-drama also stars Anushka Sharma, Pankaj Kapoor and Shabana Azmi.
"When I told him (Vishal Bharadwaj) I won't be able to do it, he said he was sure I could. He had faith in me, even when I didn't," the actor added.
The actor will be playing such a rustic role for the first time and said that he devoted almost two to three months in preparing for the it.
"The role is different. It required a lot of preparation for almost two and a half months. I have always felt that the more we rehearse, the better we perform," he said.
Imran has often worked with new directors like Shakun Batra and Abhinay Deo, but the actor was happy to work with an experienced director this time.
"He (Bhardawaj) was very calm on the set and guided all the performers. Even if something was not working out, he would find a way to make it work. He knows the right way to do things," he said.
Talking about Imran's look in the film, Bhardwaj said that he wanted to give him a completely different look.
"I wanted to see Matru in Imran. I had liked him in 'Delhi Belly' but I wanted to do more. He was very patient with me and we finally achieved the look," he said referring to the actor's over grown beard and rustic look in the film.
All of Bhardwaj's films have strong female characters and the director seems to have maintained the same with his heroine Anushka Sharma as well.
"My female characters are always very strong. It comes naturally. I see women as stronger than men in real life as well," he said.
Talking about being paired with Imran for the first time, Anushka said that she never thought they would look like the way they do.
"This is the first time we are working together. I never thought we would look like this. But Imran has looked the hottest in the film," Anushka said.

Tuesday Night Worlds; mixed in interval work, was one watt short of my 5m pr. With as sore as my legs are, that's a surprise.
Tuesday Night Worlds; mixed in interval work, was one watt short of my 5m pr. With as sore as my legs are, that's a surprise.
^ 1 watt short of a PR is pretty good! I hit 10 watts short in a group ride today and was working pretty hard.
2014 is turning out to be a year of experimentation and decreased bike focus, but long-term vision for me, cycling wise. Two new developments in particular have pointed me in that direction: my decision to acquire a power meter, and to get back in the gym again for the first time since college (2010).
Typical "On" weeks are looking like this: (not that I need rest weeks anyway right now)
M: gym - upper body
T: Track PM (very high-intensity), ez 30-60min spin AM
W: EZ z1/2 ride, MTB or road
Th: gym - lower body
F: EZ z1/2 ride, MTB or road
S: 3-4 hr high z2 ride (tiring), or group road ride
U: off
I could really use an extra quality intensity or threshold day, but it's difficult for me to fit it into my life/schedule right now. Instead I am doing other things: lifting, hiking, swimming, body surfing, whatever. My overall health and strength is better than in years past, but my cycling fitness lacks depth. I can feel it. Additionally, lifting takes away my ability to ride hard for a day or two, but I really love deadlifts and squats.
That still didn't stop me from winning two races and placing second an another tonight in the "B+" field at SDVA. I'm having a lot of fun learning about myself and thinking about workouts with my powermeter. I really look forward to optimizing my bike workouts with it (next year?) and going for my road 2, which I know I can do.
But that won't be this weekend, because the boys from work and I are backpacking San Gorgonio (11,500). Good times will be had.
"Your beauty is an aeroplane;
so high, my heart cannot bear the strain." -A.C. Jobim, Triste
Had to drive my wife to work so I had the car for an interview, so missed the morning ride and the end of the noon ride.
On the plus side, I was fresh for the noon ride part that I did and got a decent workout out of it. I went near the front for the first climb, and when I looked back most of the field was gone (thanks, Fudgy)! Only 5 of us in the break. Good break with a few strong riders (Fudgy and one other guy in orange doing a lot of pulling), but I had to leave before the finale. Still great to be in a break from a hill! My climbing ability is slowly coming around.
Then got accepted at the interview to do a trial project for decent money. The job would be well paying, telecommute and part time/flex hours. So stoked, I hope I get this job.
Aaron - crossing fingers for you getting that job...
Demain, on roule!
Good luck with the job prospect.
TMonk, good to hear that you are finding the bike/life balance. It sounds like you are having fun. Your schedule looks great for the goals you have.
Good luck on the job, and good job on the hill.
Finished my first peak of the year this past weekend. Took the last two days off to recover, buy a newer Jeep Wrangler, sell off the 350z and just relax. Today I'll get back on the bike to spin around and enjoy the scenary

Did the Valley Ride tonight, instead of sitting around at the track and getting back home at 10 pm..
Won a sprint, lost a sprint, lost hard on the climb. Hot out.
In the final sprint it felt fast, and the data says 43 mph.. tailwind and slight downhill helped. Was looking for that 11 tooth!
Last edited by mattm; 06-18-14 at 10:23 PM. Reason: forgot to brag about how fast we were
Folsom Bike Race Ride. Got the first sprint, but then blew up hard. Chased and caught a group, so we worked back together.
FTP Test this morning. First one I've ever done with a power meter (have always gone off feel). Did Coggan's Test..Results: 5m power=5.45 W/kg (415 avg) and FTP=4.21 W/kg (321 avg). Actually feel pretty good about that.

^ wow, that 5' power is almost 130% - mine is only 117%. Maybe I need to work on my 5' more.
Morning ride. Holy ****. I was dropped halfway through, formed a chase group and caught on for the second part just as the leaders were leaving the regroup spot.

in 2011, my first year with a PM, i was at 1.30 and fancied myself as a puncheur
in 2012, i changed my approach a bit and was at 1.20 and thought i was a diesel with no punch
in 2013, i hired a coach who had a more holistic approach. ended up at 1.25. i'm still a diesel type, but at least i had some pop
no idea where i'm at right now. i don't do 5 min tests, at least not in season.
Was in Fort Hood, Killeen Texas for work so i brought my bike with me to ride hills. Maped a ride route but later found out i could not ride in that area unless i was in the millitary !. Drove around on the outskirts of main town looking for some roads, ended up at a place called Harker Heights, parked my car at a church and got on my bike. Rode 40 miles with 2k ft of climbing. For the first time i ran out of gears at 45mphr downhill.
I'll add my data point. I'm at about 125% or so, and my sprint (max) is 400+% and 5 second is at 383%. I'm a sprinter with an emphasis on sub 5 minute efforts. if you watch me race you would be able to tell i'm a sprinter very quickly. My attacks/moves are either 100% separation, or i'm not doing anything.
Training Crit, my legs were trash so the plan was to hold on until I fell off than call it a day. Call me a coward, whatever but when you've tore ligaments from overuse you tend to be very conservative when things feel 'off'. Feels like Mike Tyson used my left leg as a punching bag. Since we're talking ewang my power numbers from 5s to 30s were pretty good, so hopefully I'll get to punch it up when I'm fresh.
Airport Ride. 2:30. 165tss. All I wanted to do was hang on and try burning matches, recover, and burn another. As it turned out I found myself near the front on both sprints. My top end isn't there, but I'm pretty pleased that I made it that far.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
jsutkeepspining's 5 minute power PR is 125% of FTP, and his 5 second PR is 383% of FTP.
Oddly those numbers are very similar to mine, except I am terrible sprinter, because although I can hit the 5 sec PR at the end of a hard group ride, I've never come with 200w of it at the end of a race.
This whole power thing is intriguing. Although I only have the power available to me via my indoor trainer right now (Lemond Revolution) I was pleasently suprised to see those numbers and how they line up with Coggan's table. Whether the table is a good estimate or not, it's nice to know where I am at and what I can improve on. Look forward to getting power on the road come the fall when I can afford it!

Phylogenetic analyses suggests fairy tales are much older than thought
To come to these conclusions, the researchers applied a technique normally used in biology—building phylogenetic trees to trace linguistic attributes back to their origin....one fairy tale in particular, they note, was very clear—called The Smith and The Devil, they traced it back approximately 6,000 years, to the Bronze Age.

Myth and reality of the Hardanger fiddle and Myllarguten
Norwegian legends and fairy tales are full of references to subterranean or supernatural beings, many of which have the fiddle as a symbolic attribute.... Even today, some people believe that anyone hoping to become a real fiddler must be apprenticed to Fossegrimen.... The Hardanger fiddle is inextricably linked to such legends, and it is the folk tunes which have kept them alive.And Targjei Augundsson is at the crossroads of legends and folk tunes, whose skill with the fiddle is said to have come at the price of his soul from a deal with Fossegrimen, making him something of the Norwegian predecessor to Robert Johnson.

More items from Shaun Tan's federal department of odds and ends
Shaun Tan (previously, twice) is most identified with his distinctly surreal style of 2D still art, but he has also worked in sculpted and animated forms, as seen in his pieces inspired by recently revised stories of the Brothers Grimm, and The Lost Thing, a short film based on his book of the same name.
Fathers have given their daughters to monsters before.
The Beauty and the Beast. The Children's Stories Made Horrific series at The Toast has always been nightmare fuel, drawing out the horror inherent in many children's stories, but the latest installment might be the most trenchant yet.
You can have them in exchange for your dog and your little finger
In 2012, selections from an archive of five hundred previously undiscovered fairy tales, found in Regensburg, Germany, were published by Erika Eichenseer. The fairy tales were collected by the historian Franz Xaver von Schönwerth, a contemporary of the brothers Grimm. Last year, an English translation of the collection was published. Here are three of the stories, in translation:
recite to us some new story... to while away the waking hours of night
The general structure of this tale are well known; a young lady tells a king a series of stories, enough to fill one thousand and one nights, ensuring her survival. The themes became common enough that L. Frank Baum listed the "stereotyped genie, dwarf, and fairy" as traditional fairy tale characters to exclude from his attempts at modern tales, yet there's enough to unpack and discuss to consume multiple lifetimes. This is One Thousand and One Nights, the multinational compilation of folktales and stories, passed as word of mouth, then written and compiled into one large volume. But it was only when one of these collections was translated into French, at a time that fairy tales were already in vogue, did this large frame story and its contained tales really catch on. But it's history is not all that simple a tale. [more inside]
They tell us dragons can be beaten: continuing relevance of fairy tales
Neil Gaiman: Why Disney's Sleeping Beauty doesn't work (Gaby Wood for The Guardian):
"I feel like some kind of alchemist," Gaiman suggests. "I have to go to the cupboard and take one ounce of Snow White and two ounces of Sleeping Beauty, and heat the Sleeping Beauty and froth the Snow White and mix them together: it's kind of like fusion cuisine. It tastes like both of them but it's actually a new dish."
Are fairy tales back in fashion? Certainly, the recent success of Disney's films Frozen and Maleficent seems to point to something. But most of the fairy tales we know have come to us via 17th century France or 19th century Germany, and have since been subject to so many retellings and rebellions that trends are difficult to map.
Fakelore, bowdlerized fairy tales and new American legends
The term "fakelore" has one basic core definition: modern tales that are similar to true folklore, the stories and traditions of a culture or group. But there are a few different takes on what exactly fakelore is, from the anti-alcohol lessons inserted in the modified fairy tales re-written and illustrated by George Cruikshank, which earned Horatian satire from Charles Dickens, to Paul Bunyan (the Red River Lumber Company produced the most well-known material; full scans - but this hasn't kept people from giving him a grave marker) and Pecos Bill (Google books preview), who were created as for marketing purposes or to replicate traditional tall tales, and more recently 'so-called "multicultural folktale" picture books [that] are a popular means for teaching about other cultures, especially in the primary grades.'
"Once upon a time there was no not a king." - Carlo Collodi, basically.
KC Green, the cartoonist currently writing and drawing Gunshow and writing the pre-apocalyptic fantasy-western Back (with art from Nedroid's Anthony Clark) has embarked upon a third project: a chapter-by-chapter adaptation of Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio, currently up to the end of the book's first chapter.

Girls Fighting (or Helping) Evil
Laura is super passionate about girls fighting evil, creating collages with short stories about various groups of girls fighting off demons - from radio DJs and the interns at Night Vale, to Dorothy Gale, travelers, and of course Beyonce. Sometimes the girls are helping the demons: evil counterparts to Cinderella, Belle, and Snow White, the underwater orchestra, even the underlord's admin assistant. Sometimes they fight each other; sometimes they fight themselves. Some of these fighters are real. Sometimes they'll let you borrow their style.
I have never been a very sound sleeper...
The Moon is Rolling in Her Grave is a video adaptation of the first chapter of the ongoing (since 2003) comic series "No Rest For The Wicked" by Andrea L. Peterson, a fantasy / adventure / horror tale that takes traditional fairytales and turns them on their heads: "Ms. Peterson uses, in conjunction with several more popular fables, folktales that you may have never even heard of. The entire plot actually centers around a little known Grimm fairytale called 'The Buried Moon', while also making reference to 'Red Riding Hood', 'Hansel & Gretel', 'The Girl Without Hands', 'The Boy Who Went Forth and Learned What Fear Was', and many MANY others."

British family Robinson: the short stories of three illustrators
Thomas Robinson and Eliza Heath had three sons, Thomas (1869-1950), Charles (1870-1937), and William (1872-1944), who followed in their father's (and grandfather's) footsteps as illustrators of various sorts. The most widely know was the youngest, W. Heath Robinson, whose contraptions earned him the reputation as the UK counterpart to the US artist Rube Goldberg. But the other two brothers are not to be overlooked. [more inside]
The Singaporean Fairytale: You can have it all, if you choose to.
The Singaporean Fairytale is another contribution to the efforts to get Singaporeans to procreate (previously), made by undergraduate students, using reworked fairytales as a vehicle for sex and fertility ed. A lot of the content, however, is suspect: from claiming that sex will always make you feel better (especially if you're a woman) to a woman's worth being only based by their reproductive capacity.

Introvert Fairy Tales
Introvert Fairy Tales Once upon a time there was a woman who never lived in a castle, never married a prince, and always did all her own housework. She also never had paparazzi following her while she was on holidays so they could take topless pictures of her with a telephoto lens and distribute them for public consumption. So there was that.

Her most famous fairy-tale collection, Croatian Tales of Long Ago (1916), was recently adapted as a flash animation, some of which can be viewed online (flash, pop-ups) in an award-winning site.

Faerie Tale Theatre
Yes, that is indeed Mick Jagger playing a Chinese emperor. And those are, in fact, Edward James Olmos, Bud Cort, and Barbara Hershey heading up the supporting cast of "The Nightingale," a particularly odd episode of Shelley Duvall's ludicrously star-studded Faerie Tale Theatre. Throughout its early '80s run, the show used dozens of prominent actors to perform the fairy tale standards, including Klaus Kinski and Susan Sarandon in a virtual remake of the Cocteau "Beauty and the Beast;" Paul Reubens, James Coburn, Carl Reiner, and Vincent Schiavelli in "Pinnochio;" Helen Mirren and Brian Dennehy in "The Little Mermaid;" and James Earl Jones and Leonard Nimoy in a Tim Burton-directed "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp." The list goes on and on.
Fairy Tales For Grown-Ups
Pan's Labyrinth the new movie by director Guillermo del Toro (Devil's Backbone) is a fairy tale for grownups. Certainly not a new idea, stories like Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia have elements that appeal to adults, but Pan's Labyrinth is perhaps unique in that it's not at all suitable for children.

What big eyes you have!
Little Red Riding Hood's wayward past revealed: "Once upon a time, (the story) was a seduction tale. An engraving accompanying the first published version of the story, in Paris in 1697, shows a girl in her déshabille, lying in bed beneath a wolf. According to the plot, she has just stripped out of her clothes, and a moment later the tale will end with her death in the beast's jaws — no salvation, no redemption. Any reader of the day would have immediately understood the message: In the French slang, when a girl lost her virginity it was said that 'elle avoit vû le loup' — she'd seen the wolf."

Rumplestiltskin gets torn in half, Cinderella's stepsisters get their eyes pecked out, and Snow White's stepmother dances in red hot iron shoes until she dies from exhaustion. These are the original endings to the non-sweetened, and sometimes unsavory, fairy tales collected or written by by reclusive librarians Jacob and Wilhelm, better know as The Brothers Grimm. Their first book, Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Childrens' and Household Tales) was published in 1812. Several more books, mostly of folk tales collected from willing relatives and friends, followed, some containing bizarre and disturbing stories with less than happy endings. As the National Geographic Grimm site puts it, "Looking for a sweet, soothing tale to waft you toward dreamland? Look somewhere else. The stories collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early 1800s serve up life as generations of central Europeans knew it—capricious and often cruel." Check out the strange 1960 Mp3s and RealAudio files of some Grimm tales.

I hope you enjoyed Monday, because later tonight everything changes. A much cooler air mass is dropping south from the Gulf of Alaska to lower snow levels and chill the air even at lower elevations. I mentioned this last week, and everything is on track.
Forecast models are in good agreement with this, so perhaps we can start building up a lasting snowpack. We had an early start a week or two ago before the heavy rains melted all the snow. Snow levels should drop to the foothills by Friday, down to 2,000 feet. In heavier showers, even the coastal mountains will get a dusting on the high peaks.
Another major storm is forecast for the Northeast, adding to the problems back there. It will not be a hurricane by any means, but will be an extra-tropical storm that will bring winds between 40 and 60 mph, high seas and lots of rain. This new storm will not move through as fast as Hurricane Sandy did, so damage could be serious, with more flooding and power outages.
Back home, I thought this year's fall foliage was extra-colorful, more than last year. Did you? A good share of the leaves fell to the ground over the weekend with the brisk winds. Several folks passed on to me that their maple trees had an abundance of seeds this year. Some old folklore indicates this is a sign of an early and harsh winter. Maybe?
It was very warm over the weekend, with highs in the 60- to 70-degree range. Certainly no complaints. There were more clouds and moisture than I thought, however. If the skies had cleared Sunday, we would have been well into the 70s. Even so, Salem, Ore., had a record high of 73 degrees, with more clearing.
Bundle up and prepare for cooler weather. If we get any clearing overnight this weekend, although not likely, it will freeze.

In response to packy's comment:
Is there a tax penalty or rate on a Capitol Appreciatoin Fund A if I decide to withdraw thw money
Dear packy:
As these are mutual fund shares held outside of a retirement account, there is no early withdrawal penalty charged for taxes. Any sales will generate a capital gain or loss. You will be required to report the sale on your return for the year the sale occurs. The mutual fund may charge a fee, depending on the type of shares you hold. The terms relating to the "A" shares you say you hold are set by the issuing company, but "A" shares usually charge a fee when you buy the shares, a management fee while you are holding shares and no fees when you sell out. Other types of shares may charge no fee on entry, a larger fee while you hold for managing the investments and a fee on selling the shares.
Hope this helps in preparing your returns!

Amazing !!!
This review is from: Synology RS212 Diskless System RackStation Feature-rich 2-bay NAS Server for Workgroups and Offices
Pros: This is not just a NAS, its so much more! There are more features than you can shake a stick at. You can run it as almost any kind of server imaginable. Plus there are different apps and packages you can install on the fly to provide all sorts of services. Setup is super simple! The setup installs the DSM software (OS) that operates it. When you login it looks like a GUI Linux desktop. Navigation is very easy and well laid out. Configuring it is a breeze. This isn't like other typical hardware that you sign into some cheezy firmware interface. What's really cool is the motherboard is an easily replaceable module that pops in and out very easily should it ever need replaced in the future. In the $500+ price range I thought I was taking a gamble. Boy did it pay off! When you realize what all you are really getting its well worth the money. You just can't go wrong with this piece of hardware.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: In the $500+ price range I thought I was taking a gamble. Boy did it pay off! When you realize what all you are really getting its well worth the money. You just can't go wrong with this piece of hardware. If you are looking for a NAS with so much more, look no further than the Synology Rackstation!

Live to Laugh, Laugh to Live
Click here to read the original article on Philly.com.
Some cancer patients were told that they had three months to live, marking the time that would prove to be the most trying, exhausting, and heartbreaking point in their lives. But the amazing thing about these extraordinary people is that they decided to continue laughing through the hard times; laughing at their families, laughing at their pets, laughing at a movie on TV or a story in the newspaper every morning. Those three months passed and when they came back to see their doctors, it turned out that their tumors were benign or their cancer had disappeared, and they attributed their healthy outcomes to laughter.
Without question, this is the extreme example of the effects of laughter and how it can improve your quality of life. Understand that laughter psychologically puts you in the state of having fun. You are enjoying the present moment and it shows when you throw your head back, hold your stomach, and you just can't control your laughter. The day goes by so much faster when you're having fun, so why not laugh your way through the day?
There is no need to explain how laughter and worry are polar opposites. It's just the way life is; light during the day and dark at night. Both are necessities. They have to exist, because if you didn't have worries, you wouldn't know laughter.
The most powerful thing about laughter is that it has the ability to put you in neutral. Personally, laughter puts me at peace and is a crucial part of my happiness. When I'm busy worrying about my problems, I could turn on ten different talk radio stations, but I'll find them all boring. And the only person to blame for that is me. When I make it a point to be happy, smile, and laugh my way into a good mood, I turn the same talk radio stations on, and I think they're hilarious. It all comes from within.
To the person that hasn't laughed in months and years simply because you have forgotten how to and you find yourself in a deep depression … use your imagination. It all comes back to what you're thinking about.
Laugh at yourself. Laugh at children. Laugh at that ridiculous comment you heard on the radio. And when you're laughing, you're attracting people. Everyone wants to be around someone that knows how to have fun. Socialization can go a long way when you are trying to bring yourself out of depression.
Remember to not sweat the small stuff. There's never a happy medium between depression and happiness. It's one or the other, and you are the only one that has the ability to change it.
Make a list of 10 different things you love to do. One of mine happens to be on a boat, offshore, tuna fishing. But tomorrow, I don't want to go f***ing tuna fishing, I want to go feed the ducks at the pond. When the list has been exhausted, make another one. And I guarantee you'll find something to laugh about while you're doing the things you love.
When I wake up in the morning, I look at myself in the mirror and laugh at myself. It is important to add some cheer into your day-to-day life and stop taking yourself so seriously. Don't scold yourself for the mistake you just made. Laugh at it. The more you beat yourself up over your slip-up, the more power you give it and you allow it to consume your thoughts, even your entire day.
When I'm in a bad mood, I don't see anything around me but problems. But when I feel good, I see everything. I see nature. I see people. I see happiness.

This review is from: SONY FM Stereo World Band Receiver Radio ICF-SW7600GR
Pros: Bought it as a replacement for my 25 year old 7600 after I read a review stating SONY would not be making these much longer. My 25 year old one still works great except the clock is on the blink. The new one works just as well (the clock still works)
Cons: No AC adapter included.

A whole new world
This review is from: SONY FM Stereo World Band Receiver Radio ICF-SW7600GR
Pros: From pacific northwest using only stock antenna I was able to pick up broadcasts from Australia, Cuba, China, Russia, Japan, CA, FL, Hawaii and countless broadcasts in foreign languages I couldn't guess where they were from.
Cons: Does not come up with wall power adaptor. Sync detection is not useful for weak signals. I wish SSB sideband options were push buttons on the front panel instead of the side.
Other Thoughts: Not the fault of this radio but majority of commercial broadcast content in these frequencies I was able to pick up tend to be political, propoganda or religious. There are still interesting things you can find if you are patient and like exploring.

Home : Brands : Ojon : Ojon Shampoos :
Strengthen, protect and enhance the beauty of your hair with Ojon Shampoo Products. More than just way to keep hair and scalp clean, these hair treatments provide therapies to improve the health of scalp and hair follicles, thicken and moisturize hair shafts and protect the hair in full from the damage that can occur from exposure to the dangers of the environment. Based on a tradition of the Miskito people of Central America, the formulas of Ojon Shampoos provide rich emollients, botanical extracts and oils and cleansers to transform hair from a dull and lifeless state to its full, thick and manageable potential.
For more than 500 years, the Tawira tribe of the Miskito people have extracted oil from the ripe nuts of the Elaeis oleifera palm, native to Central and South America. The resulting batana oil, also called ojon, forms that basis of their hair care. The Tawira are called locally, "the people without hats," and are known for the fullness and beauty of their hair. Now, this special oil is made available in the formulas of Ojon Shampoos Products.
To add one or more items to your bag, check the box to the left of each desired
item and then click the "Add to Bag" button at the top or bottom of the page. Items
are listed in SKU number order.
Exposed to the ultraviolet radiation of the sun, extremes of temperature, drying winds, hair coloring and treatments, chemicals in urban water and the deposits of air pollution, hair is subjected to many stresses. The results can be dramatic, including dry, flyaway condition, weak shafts prone to breaking and splitting and a dull, lifeless appearance. It is possible to help minimize these conditions, and achieve clean, strong and healthy hair with Ojon Shampoos Products.
Cleanse and repair distressed hair with Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Shampoo. The golden-colored gel provides a rich lather than helps restore and strengthen hair. The formula contains a rich suite of botanical extracts, including ojon oil, wheat proteins and creamy coconut extract, along with the beautiful scents of tonka bean and benjoin, to hydrate and strengthen the hair shafts.
Add body to limp fine hair with Ojon Volume Advance Volumizing Shampoo. The coconut-derived cleanser removes dirty deposits, allowing the ojon oil and protein-rich Amarantus extract from Peru to fortify and add body to the shafts. Even baby-fine hair has improved fullness and bounce, plus greater strength and moisture.
A buildup of old oils and deposits on the hair can weigh it down, creating a dull, lifeless appearance. Used as an occasional renewing treatment, Ojon Full Detox Detoxifying Shampoo can cleanse these deposits and impurities without stripping away the protective natural oils from the hair cuticle layer. Excess sebum is removed from the scalp as old, dead skin flakes and pollutants are washed away, replaced by emollients and nourishing botanical extracts.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
too tight across the chest and shoulders
I ordered this in a size small and it was so tight across the shoulders/chest that I couldn't move my arms properly. I exchanged it for a medium, but the tightness across the shoulders/chest hardly improved and by then it was way too big everywhere else. I am pretty small (5'5" and 120lbs) and have a small waist/hips (size 0) but a larger chest (32DD) and wide-ish shoulders for a girl, especially when I climb more often, so have trouble finding stuff that fits, but normally it's not this bad. the build quality and colour was great, but if you are on the larger chest or wider shoulders side of things I don't recommend it.
Windproof and long enough
I love this jacket, it is perfect as a technical shell. I'm 5'8" about 140lbs and the Large fits nicely with a lot of layers (fleece and small vest). Also the Large probably has a 27 inch back length which is hard to find. I really like the length of this jacket because it keeps my whole middle warm, no cold drafts sneaking up my back.

What is the default font size of textLabel and detailTextLabel?
The actual font size depends on the user's settings in Settings -> General -> TextSize. Normally, you shouldn't use a fixed font size, but should use something like:
obviously depending on what you need. Anyway, if you create a
and the font of cell.detailTextLabel is the same object as
You get fonts from largest to smallest using the constants ending in "Body", "Subheadline", "Footnote", "Caption1", "Caption2" so you know what to use if you want slightly smaller or bigger text. "Headline" is same size as "Body" but bold.
It's probably best to just create a cell at runtime and get the fonts from it.
You can always set any font to those labels in code so if you want some guaranteed fixed values you'd better do that as size values may vary depending on many factors (cell's style, sdk version, os version etc).
I've tested on simulator with 4.2 SDK version and got following results (no extra properties were set for cells):
When I run this on the iPad 5.0 simulator:
I see:
cellStyleValue2 text font: font-family: "Helvetica"; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 12px
cellStyleValue2 detail font: font-family: "Helvetica"; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-size: 15px
Since these parameters apparently vary, logging the font objects is good way to know without the guess work...
