How to Find Surface Area of a Triangular Prism
Four Parts:Understanding the FormulaFinding the Surface Area of Each BaseFinding the Lateral Surface AreaPutting it TogetherCommunity Q&A
Finding the surface area of a three-dimensional shape can be intimidating if you've never done it before, but the formulas for many of these shapes are fairly straight forward. When finding the surface area of a triangular prism, you simply need to calculate the area of each side and add the values together. If you still aren't sure about how to do it, though, keep reading for a step-by-step explanation.
Part 1
Understanding the Formula
1Understand what a triangular prism is. A triangular prism is a three-dimensional shape consisting of two triangular bases connected by three square or rectangular sides.
- When finding surface area for the triangular prism, you will need to add together the area of all five sides.
- Note that a three-dimensional shape with four triangular sides and one square base is called a pyramid, not a triangular prism.
2Know the most basic formula. The most basic formula to use for calculating the surface area of a prism is: SA = L + 2*B[1]
- SA refers to "surface area."
- L refers to "lateral area." The lateral area is the area of all three rectangular sides combined.
- B refers to "base area." The base area is the area of one triangular base. For the equation, you need to multiply this area by 2.
3Expand the formula. A more detailed version of the same equation can be written as: SA = ah + bh + ch + 2*(1/2 * A * b)
- The A refers to the altitude of the triangular base.
- The b refers to the base measurement of the triangular base.
- The h refers to the height measurement of the prism.
- The a, b, and c refer to the sides of the triangular base. Note that a and A in the equation stand for two separate measurements, but the b variable is the same for both parts of the equation.
- The equation for the lateral surface area is ah + bh + ch
- The addition of the two areas for the bases is written as: 2*(1/2 * A * b)
4Break it down further. The equation typically used for surface area is written as: SA = h*(a + b + c) + (A * b)
- For the ah + bh + ch portion of the equation, the common h is removed and placed outside of parentheses, indicating that it needs to be distributed to each of the variables inside.
- For the 2*(1/2 * A * b) portion of the equation, the 2 and 1/2 cancel each other out when they are multiplied, simply leaving A * b.
Part 2
Finding the Surface Area of Each Base
1Look at the part of the equation for triangular base area. Following the final version of the equation as described above, the equation for the triangular base areas combined is simply: A * b.
- A refers to the altitude of the triangle and b refers to the triangle's base.
- Example:
- A = 2 centimeter (0.8 in)
- b = 4 centimeter (1.6 in)
2Multiply the altitude of the triangle by the length of the base. In essence, this would find the area of a rectangle with the same length and width, represented here by base and altitude. It is a necessary part of the equation, though.
- Example: A * b = 2 * 4 = 8 centimeter (3.1 in) squared
3Understand why this area equation does not match that of a standard triangle. When aiming to find the surface area of the equation, you should stop here. This functions as the measurement of both triangular bases.
- When finding the area of a triangle, you would usually use the formula: 1/2 * A * b[2]
- By cutting the product of altitude and base in half, you can find the area of a triangle instead of that of a rectangle.
- In this case, however, you need to add two of these triangular base areas together. You could go through the effort of cutting the triangular area in half, but since you will only double that result immediately afterward, it is an unnecessary step.
Part 3
Finding the Lateral Surface Area
1Examine the portion of the equation relating to lateral area. In the final version of the equation, described above, finding the lateral area can be done with the following solution: h*(a + b + c)
- The h refers to the height of the prism, or the long side of the rectangular sides.
- The b refers to the base of the triangle. It is the same b used in the other half of the equation.
- The a and c refer to the other two sides of the triangular bases.
- Example:
- h = 7 centimeter (2.8 in)
- b = 4 centimeter (1.6 in)
- a = 6 centimeter (2.4 in)
- c = 5 centimeter (2.0 in)
2Add the three sides of the triangular base together. For the first part of this equation half, you need to add together a, b, and c.
- Example: a + b + c = 6 + 4 + 5 = 15 centimeter (5.9 in)
3Multiply this value by the height of the prism. Multiply the sum of the three outer sides of the triangle by the height of the rectangular portion of the prism, h.
- Note that the value resulting from this step is the lateral area for the rectangular prism.
- Example: h*(a + b + c) = 7 * (6 + 4 + 5) = 7 * 15 = 105 centimeter (41.3 in) squared
4Get a clearer understanding of what this signifies. In summary, the lateral area is the addition of the area for all three triangular sides of the prism.
- The standard equation for an ordinary rectangle is length multiplied by width.
- Here, each rectangle shares a common length. In terms of this equation, though, length translates into height, or h. Hence, the equation for each rectangle must include the same h value.
- The width of each rectangle here differs, but it each rectangle has a width that corresponds to one outer side of the triangle, a, b, and c. Hence, the a, b, and c replace the width measurement in a standard equation for rectangular area.
Part 4
Putting it Together
1Take another look at the formula for surface area. Remember that the surface area of a triangular prism is the addition of the area for two triangular bases to the lateral area of the prism: SA = L + 2*B
- Written in a more extended manner, the surface area can be looked at as: SA = h*(a + b + c) + (A * b)
2Plug the values you calculated into the equation. Since you have already calculated the lateral area of the triangular prism and the doubled base area of the triangular base, all you need to do is plug the values into the equation.
- Example: SA = L + 2*B = 105 + 8
- Example: SA = h*(a + b + c) + (A * b) = 7 * (6 + 4 + 5) + 2 * 4 = 7 * 15 + 2 * 4 = 105 + 8
3Add the lateral area plus the doubled base area to complete the problem. Once you add these values together, you have successfully found the surface area of the triangular prism in your problem.
- Example: SA = L + 2*B = 105 + 8 = 113 centimeter (44.5 in) squared
Community Q&A
Can you make a clearer description of how to find the surface area of a triangular prism? I am so confused about how to do it, and I am freaked out that I will fail the test in school because of it!wikiHow ContributorA triangular prism is just a box with triangles for the top and bottom. The walls of the box are the same as they are for any other box - rectangular. To find the surface area of the entire prism, you just find the surface area of the top, the bottom, and each wall - then you add them all together. So focus on each step on its own, as if it were its own problem, and write down the answer. What is the surface area of the triangular top? (Write that down.) What is the surface area of the triangular bottom? (Write that down.) Do the same for each wall, then add them all together. Then you're done! You'll find shortcuts along the way, but if they're confusing you now, don't worry about them.
How can I find the surface area of the triangular prism without knowing its height?
How can I find the surface of my triangular prism?
What about a 4 sided triangular prism with the height of 11 and the base of 8?

No, this is not an early April Fools' prank. Mermaids will be swimming among the sharks next month at the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston.
The World Famous Mermaids of Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, a team of female entertainers clad in elaborate fish-tailed costumes, will perform underwater shows at the aquarium April 12-20 in the Great Ocean Tank.
As their name suggests, the dancers originated at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, a freshwater spring north of Tampa in Florida where mermaid shows are performed daily. To further their facade as human fish, the Mermaids have learned special techniques to breathe through small oxygen hoses rather than masks.
The entertainers will perform three shows daily at 11 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. during their weeklong stint at the S.C. Aquarium. The shows will be included in the regular admission fees, which range from $15 to $25
The aquarium, which is a nonprofit organization, paid $3,000 to hire the performers.
Kate Ditloff, spokeswoman for the attraction, said the performances are intended to attract more visitors during many public schools' spring break.
"The Georgia Aquarium and the aquarium in Denver have both done (mermaid shows), and guests seemed to really enjoy it and they had a lot of great feedback," Ditloff said.
She added that unlike those "entertainment-based" shows, the S.C. Aquarium will emphasize marine education alongside the attraction.
In addition to photo opportunities, craft workshops and dress-up stations for children, there will be a variety of educational stations where, according to an aquarium statement, "guests can enjoy hands-on activities focused on conservation efforts to sustain the beauty of these mermaids and the marine life around them."

We give advice by the bucket, but take it by the grain.
– William R. Alger
We give advice by the bucket, but take it by the grain.
– William R. Alger
Unsolicited advice is what you get when you give someone who isn't listening, counseling they didn't ask for, offering recommendations you probably aren't even following yourself. It's about 10,000 times easier to give advice than it is to take it, and the information economy reflects that. Supply so greatly exceeds demand that you can't even pay people to take good advice. Some people actually invest significant amounts of their own time and money into various forms of self-destruction.
So why do we give unsolicited advice?
In many cases, we're motivated by a genuine desire to help the other person. It's tough to watch a friend or family member punish themselves by choosing to be in a bad relationship, to work at a job that drains their life force, or to follow their parents' dreams instead of chasing their own ambitions. The problem is further compounded when it interferes with, or even damages, your relationship with that person.
When you've been there and done that and have the battle scars to prove it, the temptation to offer unsolicited advice can be almost overwhelming. Avoiding doing so feels almost like watching someone go into cardiac arrest and not calling an ambulance. But there's a big difference between the analogy and the reality: The ambulance will actually help that person; unsolicited advice will not.
Unsolicited advice is almost useless for one simple reason: Many lessons must be learned, not just intellectually, but emotionally. Taking action to change your life requires not only thought, but intent, and intent is driven by our internal pain and pleasure associations.
Even though a person understands intellectually that smoking is suicidal, they'll do it anyway. The immediate pleasure they associate to puffing on a little plant stick is greater than the abstract pain of dying an agonizing death from lung cancer in 20 or 30 years. Many people in relationships put up with mind-boggling amounts of disrespect in exchange for not being alone, possibly even being granted sex occasionally, if they're lucky. When it's your words of advice–"Dude, you have got to dump that b$@%$!"–versus the feeling of curling up beside a naked woman in bed at night, the winner is obvious.
When there's a conflict between our intellect and our emotions, we usually side with our emotions. Until the person's pain and pleasure associations are properly calibrated, there's little hope for change. The best thing to do in these situations, as harsh as it sounds, is to let the other person hit rock bottom. At the very least, wait until they ask for advice before you start giving it. It's remarkable how much self-created misery some people will endure, but some of life's most valuable lessons are found in the darkest corners of human experience.
The other major reason we give unsolicited advice has to do with the ego. The ego needs external validation to survive. While some people give unsolicited advice out of a genuine desire to help, others do so to validate their own point of view.
This kind of advice is often given to people you don't know really well, or given about a subject you've just started learning and are looking to feel smarter about by giving other newbies advice. In both cases, you are motivated not so much by helping the other person as by needing to be right. This type of unsolicited advice is particularly common on internet discussion forums, where keyboard jockeys, armed with borrowed wisdom, engage in lengthy flame wars about the One True Way to do something.
The way to deal with this ego-driven need for validation is to observe it. I learned this technique from Eckhart Tolle, among others. By becoming aware of your ego's need to be right, you create a space around the problem, and begin to separate yourself from it. You become an impartial observer of your thoughts, and start using your mind, instead of having it use you.
Rather than relying on other people's input to validate your position, let reality be your benchmark. Where's the best place to meet girls? Do you need to use "canned material" when you talk to them? Is $100/hour a reasonable consulting rate? What's the best database/web browser/text editor/anything? Find out for yourself. The more you worship results, the less you'll feel the need to tell other people what to think.
Ego-driven advice is always a bad thing. But when you're genuinely motivated to help a friend or family member, unsolicited advice can be okay in microscopic doses. If you begin to feel resentful towards the other person though, because they keep complaining, never take your advice, and only sink further into spiritual debt, that's a hint that you've gone too far.
I find writing to be a great outlet for giving advice. It allows me to say anything I want, and is consumed only with reader consent. If you don't want my advice, you don't have to read it. In day-to-day life though, I am still sometimes guilty of this sin, particularly with friends and family when they complain about self-created problems. For that reason, I've set up a 30-day challenge to kick this bad habit, starting now.
In my experience, giving unsolicited advice merely draws me into the negativity I'm trying to persuade someone out of. Even when the person's situation is so bad that it seemingly can't get any worse, fighting hard to help someone who isn't willing to help themselves is–like all wars–a struggle lost by both sides.

That is the best unsolicited advice I have ever received.
Hey Jason, if you voluntarily came to the site, then it actually was solicited advice. Kind of. ;-)
Great stuff as always.
Excellent — particularly the importance of learning to observe the ego. Thanks!
[...] I found the blog below to be more enlightening on the same subject: http://30sleeps.com/blog/2007/12/27/unsolicited-advice/ [...]
Couldn't agree more. If I give unsolicited advice I am only feeding my ego and "if you can spot it, you've got it". If I am busy telling you about how angry you are, it's 'cos I am too. This always works and I have found great value in keeping my trap shut. I know it's tempting to get in there and tell someone what they ought to be doing but who am i to judge what they are doing anyway. No, I stay out of giving advice and if I do, it's in minute amounts. That way they wont be able to blame you if it goes wrong, which is why most people ask for advice in my experience. Great blog. Cheers.
I don't know. I came to this site looking for an answer. I suggested that my friend should perhaps try a more natural laundry detergent, as it is healthier for herself and the environment, and that dryer sheets cause cancer, and she blew up at me and called me pretentious. I am not pretentious, I am just trying to help the environment.
How should we properly help save the planet which is undergoing ecological crisis and not give unsolicited advice? What is right? Should I say nothing and just let it continue? That doesn't seem better to me. That would mean we should have just not fought for abolishment of slavery or any other human right because we shouldn't give unsolicited advice. I don't think that idea works in every case.
[...] Here's a pretty good article from 30 Sleeps on dealing with unsolicited advice. [...]
Thank you for the article.
I a bit put off by the man-centric lenses, though.
("Dude, you have got to dump that b$@%$!"
"Where's the best place to meet girls?")
I attract a lot of unsolicited advice!
I'm glad they were helpful to me. Thank you for your work. Ill be in touch
Outstanding article, one of the best that I have read, regardless of subject matter.
I have this bad habit of giving unsolicited advice; hence, that is why I was searching the net to find opinions on this topic. (I ~wanted~ advice!)
So thank you for the insight. I learned a lot and hope to refrain from "helping" others when they did not request help.
Of course, what a magnificent website and illuminating posts, I definitely will bookmark your blog.Have an awsome day!
I visited a lot of website but I believe this one has something extra in it. Ignorance is the mother of fear. by Harry Homes.
I've said that least 1338458 times. The problem this like that is they are just too compilcated for the average bird, if you know what I mean
to the point
You make a lot of wonderful points and I'm glad to read the illustrations of the two different motivations for giving advice. In my experience as a young widow I have found that no matter what the motivation, unsolicited advice is not necessarily correct and often accompanies an assumption on a part of the giver that they know everything about the receiver's experience of what they are going through. Sometimes the receiver doesn't take the advice, not because they are obstinate or have to hit rock bottom, but because everyone is different and what helps for one person may not help for another. A lot of advice I do not find universally applicable, no matter how beneficial it may have been to the giver. There are a thousand ways to cope with difficulty, and what may be comfortable for one may not apply to another.
What I just love is a person who is full of advice and likes nothing better than to rub your nose in what they think would have been a better way. As in grown people who have never had children and have never offered much help with their own elderly relatives. As in people who run to church, but have no need to do a good deed if there is no audience present to witness their good works. What most people need is real physical, get in there, elbow grease help when the pressure is on and the responsibility is as much that advice-giving person's as it is yours. My telephone will sit it its cradle from now on when advice rings me up.

Montreal police have enlisted the help of experts and high tech equipment from the École Polytechnique as they try to crack a cold case, the disappearance of a toddler 35 years ago.
On August 15, 1978, Liliane Cyr left her 18-month-old daughter with her boy friend while out of town for work.
When she came home, the man said the child had drowned in the bath, that he notified police and held a burial. He later denied to police that he had babysat her. He was charged with kidnapping, but the charge was dropped and the case went cold.
It was reopened in 2011 and a lead was offered. The superintendant of the building where Cyr was living at the time said he saw a man leave the building at around midnight, the night the toddler went missing, holding what appeared to be a bread box. He was walking towards a field near the apartment on Rochon Street.
That field is now a municipal parking lot in Saint-Laurent. Police say the body may be buried there.
"We know they never checked this parking lot before, we investigated it and now we're waiting for the report," Dominique Verret, constable with the SPVM said.
On April 4, Michel Chouteau, a geophysics professor at l'École Polytechnique and his students spent the day in the parking lot scanning the site with high tech earth probes to try and detect the metal bread box and see if the earth was ever moved.
"She (Liliane Cyr) was in the parking lot with us and we wanted her not to have too much hope because this is still based on assumptions, that he buried her in the lot, in a metal bread box. Also a metallic box could be rusted after 35 years...but there's still some hope," Chouteau said.
If there is a metal box there police will know when the results come in within a month.
Cyr's boy friend was an American citizen. Some media at the time suggested the toddler may have been sold in the US.

Do you want a chance to make a real difference in the lives of these animals?
We always need volunteers to help out at the shelter. However, there is one very special volunteer opportunity that gives you the chance to really help out on a personal level. Fostering:
- offers puppies and kittens a safe place to grow until they are available for adoption
- gives sick or injured animals a quiet home where they can recover from medical treatments
- allows our animals to gain even more socialization than they would at our facility
- provides us with additional information about our animals to help us find a great match for their forever homes
We always need more foster homes for our dogs and pups, cats and kittens!
Is it hard to give them up when they are adopted by a new family?
Sure. But it is also gives you a sense of pride knowing that you have helped a wonderful animal find a home. A little pain at parting; a lot of pleasure in knowing you have made a difference. And another life is saved!
What is involved in fostering a pet?
Mainly your time and your love. You would bring one of our pets into your home and give it love, care and nurturing while we look for its adoptive home. Each week, you would communicate with the shelter about how your pet is doing both physically and socially. Then, on Saturday or Sunday, you would bring the pet to the shelter for adoptions.
We will provide all the food and equipment necessary for the animal's good health and will administer medical care as needed including vaccination boosters, monthly heartworm prevention and flea preventative.
What is required to become a foster home?
- You must be an active APRA Volunteer
- You must have common sense.
- You must be able to provide love, care and nurturing.
- You must provide a pet-proofed home.
Ready to get started?
Fill out the Volunteer Application Form. You will be invited to our next general orientation which will be followed by a shadow training session. After becoming a full APRA Volunteer, you will need to submit a foster application and then come to the shelter for an in-person foster interview. Additionally, there is paperwork and a home visit required by the Department of Agriculture.

Querying dates from dbf in macro
Hi All,
In my code I have this select statement that I'm trying to put together but the query is recognizing the day as the month in the from_date and getting it right in the to_date, I guess for an obvious reason there's no 13th month. I've tried using '-' instead of '/'.
I basically want it to recognize it as dd/mm/yyy
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Re: Querying dates from dbf in macro
Also I'm not sure if it is the variable or the field that it's reversing, they are both type in correctly. There are dates entered in the OccurDate field 12/01/2011.
|All times are GMT +5.5. The time now is 14:17.

They have the MOST uncomfortable seats EVER. The auditoriums are dirty and cramped, and usually the movies are out of focus. I brought some friends of mine (from out-of-town) here for a movie, and I was apologizing the whole time for how bad the seats are. The ticket prices are also really high for a small college town with lots of students.
What Lawrence needs is a really nice, modern movie theatre like the Warren Theatre in Wichita. Comfortable seats, bigger screens. I would be willing to pay MORE for tickets if it was a better moviegoing experience.

When I chatted with local expert Corey Madden about his home mountain Attitash in Bartlett, New Hampshire, he mentioned that he's a former cover model for Yankee Magazine. I don't hear that everyday! He said the shot ran on the January 2004 issue and showed him skiing powder.
Corey Madden grew up skiing in the Mount Washington Valley. He's worked at Attitash for 18 years as a ski instructor, park ranger, Alpine Slide manager, and most recently— for the past six years—events director.
This is what he told me about his "Perfect Day" at Attitash. To read more insider tips about skiing in New Hampshire, check out NH Ski and Snow Magazine.
Corey's favorite first run of the day starts at the summit, with a quick warmup on blue square Upper Saco, followed by the black diamond Tim's Trauma. On his next ride up the Top Notch Double, if he notices that Grandstand is bumped up, he'll take a run there before he heads to Bear Peak. If the woods have snow, he takes the Abenaki Quad, then skis Kachina and ducks into the Fever Trees just under the lift.
On Saturdays, Corey eats lunch in the afternoon so that he can listen to the live acoustic music series "The Den Sessions" from 2:00 to 4:00 at The Den at Bear Peak, which serves lunch daily and offers a full bar at Bear Peak Lodge.
After some afternoon runs, he ends his ski day and starts his après rituals at Ptarmigan's Pub (attitash.com/explore-attitash/diningand-amenities) on the third floor of Attitash's base lodge.
Fortunately for Attitash and Corey, conditions are fantastic. The mountain is 100% open and their $40 Fridays in March & April discount lift ticket offer starts this week.

The UN's chief thief will be out of work by the end of the year. Will the UNSC be able to find a replacement who combines the banal venality and loquaciously meritricious mendacity which is the sine qua non for becoming the Head Snake in the vipers pit? Well, many thought that it would be impossible to sink lower than Boutros Boutros-Ghali - until Kofi.
The US as a permanent member of the UNSC has the right to veto any selection. It would be an admirable gesture to share that right with Japan and India - both of which better deserve a permanent UNSC seat than does a truly second rate country like France - or Russia.
The tricky part in the process is that Bolton, who has done an admirable job to date, will have to leave the US ambassador position at year's end unless nominated and confirmed prior to the end of the legislative session. I'm sure his nomination is on the President's 'to do' list for the period immediately after the election but it would be unsurprising if the Dems tried another blockade. Should they do so, perhaps Hastert and the new Senate majority leader could agree to a week recess shortly after convening in the new year. The President could then make another recess appointment that would carry forward until the inauguration of the new Republican President in '09.

It is the robbery of the year because it was the most seen by people around the world and because of the caliber of the boxers.
And most of those saying it was close are fanboys in control damage mode, numbers don´t lie. Out of 29 boxing writters in the fight that night, 27 gave it to JMM, 1 to Pacquiao. Most proboxers legends interviewed gave it to JMM (even teammates like Khan and Linares did). Poll on this forum gave it to JMM 3:1 and out of all tv broadcasters around the world, well, practically only hbo saw Pac winning. NOW ring magazine readers agree, JMM gave Pac a boxing lesson.
So no close fight in there, the only protagonist that night was JMM right hand because Pac´s eyes were rolling every time it landed on his chin. Pac was off balance all night and most of his punches were out of distance... almost cried when the fight ended and couldn´t even dare to raise his gloves, he was asking for a rematch as the loser he was.

Definitely the biggest robbery.
Marquez controlled the entire fight, kept pacquiao at bay, and made him pay whenever he grew a pair enough to risk a little. Pacquiao was seen so bothered by Marquez Power and counter punching he was content to eat small stuff than risk it.

Yes Marquez beat Pacquaio and Cleary too. But I think Williams Lara was worser robbed Lara of his undefeated record.

Heavy Metal in Baghdad, which had its US premiere at SXSW, follows Acrassicauda, Iraq's only (yes, only) heavy metal band, as they try to stay alive and keep making music through the fall of Saddam Hussein and the growing insurgency in the aftermath of the Iraq war. This is the kind of film that makes me tremendously grateful to live in a country where I can freely write about film, or pick up a camera and make one. I can pick up a bass and start a rock band, and I can dress how I like and wear my hair how I like without fear of being shot or arrested.
The members of Acrassicauda, before they moved out of Iraq to Syria and then Turkey, did not have those priveliges. For them, the mere wearing of at Metallica t-shirt, or growing their hair long, or even wearing a goatee, could mark them for harrasment, imprisonment, or death. Filmmakers Eddy Moretti and Suroosh Alvi follow the band from 2003-2006, capturing the band's hopes, dreams, and attempts to keep the band together amidst mortar fire, car bombs, and the ever-growing threat of persecution for embodying Western ideals through their music.
The film is compelling, shot in a verite style that puts the viewer right into the heart of the situation. We're there with the filmmakers as they're pulled over by Iraqi police, who demand they erase previously shot footage. We see the armed bodyguards who they hired to escort around Baghdad when they seek out the band members after the fall of Saddam's regime -- the security company swells the escort to 12 armed men, as they grow increasingly concerned about being able to protect the filmmakers. The irony, of course, is that it's hard to be inconspicuous about your filmmaking when you're traveling in a procession of armored cars and surrounded by guns with automatic weapons everywhere you go.
Most importantly, we get to know the members of the band: Faisal, the lead singer and rhythm guitar player, Marwan, the drummer, Firas, the intelligent, soft-spoken bass player struggling to keep his wife and baby safe in a war zone, and Tony, the incredibly talented lead guitarist. Later in the film, when the filmmakers travel to Damascus, Syria to film the first concert after Acrassicauda's reunion, we also meet Mike, an intelligent, open, 19-year-old Iraqi refugee, aspiring rock guitarist, and fan of the band, who speaks longingly of his desire to have the freedom to travel whereever he wants, as the filmmakers do.
The film could have used some tighter editing, and some of the footage is shaky, but given the conditions under which they were filming, I'll cut them some slack for that. What's more important about this film is the truth that is captured here; the members of Acrassicauda are, in a way, representative of many young Iraqis who just want peace and freedom. This is the face of young Muslims that America needs to see: these are young, intelligent, well-spoken young Iraqis, who know what they want and have been endlessly frustrated in their quest for freedom. They aren't terrorists, they don't build pipe bombs in their spare time, they don't hate Americans, and they love music.
What's particularly heartbreaking is the hope the band members had after the fall of Saddam that they'd finally have the freedom to live their lives and play their music, only to have those hopes toppled in the wake of the bloody insurgency that followed. I'm reading the graphic novel Persepolis right now, and it's eerie how much the current situation in Iraq mirrors what happened in Iran after the Shah was removed from power. In both cases, the people thought the revolution would bring about change and freedom; instead, freedoms have become even more oppressed.
At the time the film's final footage was shot, the band was living in Syria, where they were struggling to survive in a world where, as refugees, they are treated like "less than zeros." Since then, with the help of donations, they've relocated to Turkey, where they continue to struggle to survive, having had repeated visa requests denied. The life of a musician isn't easy, but it's mindblowing to think of what the members of Arassicauda have gone through in their struggles to keep the band together and keep making music in the wake of tremendous hardships.
More than just the story of one group of guys trying to play music, Heavy Metal in Baghdad shows a sliver of the impact the war in Iraq has had on the regular people living there who simply long to have the freedoms we have here. Here's hoping this film will open doors for Arassicauda to release an album in the United States, get visas to come over here, and finally have the freedom to have their voices heard by the world. Their stories are compelling; it's time for the world to hear them.

FLEMINGTON — The borough should have an arts district, says the mayor, and she is forming a "creative team" to take the first steps toward making that happen. A related goal is to find "a venue to serve as an arts and cultural focal point." She said later that the venue would not necessarily be a theater.
At Borough Council's Feb. 10 meeting, she predicted she'd have the team roster compiled by the March 10 meeting or possibly as soon as Feb. 24. It would consist of 12 to 16 members — artists, "but also people with business acumen," and probably members of the governing body and Planning Board. Edwards invited council members to join or nominate likely panelists, and she also said the Flemington Business Improvement District would be "an essential partner" in this effort.
Councilman Phil Velella said he's glad business people would be involved, as they would ground the good ideas in fiscal reality.
Councilman Joey Novick expressed enthusiasm for the project and noted that Newark, Hoboken and Red Bank have embraced the arts to good effect, as have smaller towns. He said, "I was in Millville last year at this time looking at their theater and their district. They began with an arts plan four or five years before. It really does create the opportunity for some very exciting things to happen." Millville is a city in Cumberland County with a population of about 28,000.
In Flemington, the old county courthouse is already a venue for concerts and lectures, and the Stangl Factory three blocks away is already the home of SOMI art gallery and Kissimmee River Pottery. So Mayor Erica Edwards believes the borough has an anchor at each end of a potential arts district. It could extend from Stangl Road, east on Mine Street, then north on Main Street.
Between those anchors is only one cultural resource so far — the Hunterdon County Historical Society's Doric House Museum and genealogy library at 114 Main St. But the change "would need to happen over time as we take some other actions to encourage the arts and culture to be situated here in Flemington in a variety of ways."
In part, the team's mission would be to "determine what else we can encourage to come here" and "how to do that." Methods could include adjusting the zoning; cooperating with the BID to offer incentives; capitalizing on what's already going on, such as the BID's cultural series; and bringing other cultural opportunities that would encourage people to regard Flemington "as a place to come for arts and culture."
The arts plan that the team would write is called a "creative place-making plan" by Sustainable Jersey, an organization the mayor is tapping for guidance on this effort. With the advice of the Planning Board, the arts plan could become a part of the borough's Master Plan, Edwards said.
As for the "arts venue," the mayor said, "It's not limited to being a theater, although I still think that's possible." She said she's not calling for a "theater" because "I don't want to limit the concept, and I don't want people to have a preconceived picture in their minds."
"It would be optimal for that to be on Main Street — we continue to hear that in various circles" because of the synergy it would have with "the restaurants that we have and the shopping that we will no doubt ultimately have."
But an "arts venue that's more formalized" than the old courthouse "will be a little while in the making," so the borough will continue to depend on the county-owned courthouse, which would continue to be useful even after another venue has been developed, Edwards said. Besides having the capacity to seat a few hundred people, the old courtroom was the scene of the famous Lindbergh kidnapping trial in 1935, and has been painstakingly restored to its appearance of that era.

Down On The Farm: Nathan Karns
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
If you follow the Nationals Minor League system at all, the name Nathan Karns probably sounds familiar. Often the subject of our in-park Down on the Farm reports during the 2012 season, the tall right-hander worked his way from the bullpen to the starting rotation, then impressed enough to earn a mid-season promotion to a higher level, where he continued to succeed. When the dust had settled on his campaign, he was awarded the Nationals Minor League Pitcher of the Year Award for his efforts.
As a result, Karns was one of two players (along with fellow hurler Erik Davis) that the Nationals added to the 40-man roster last week. We will get into more detail about the particulars of that designation next week in advance of the Rule V Draft, but suffice it to say that the organization has liked the early returns from Karns thus far in his professional career.
At 6'5", 230 pounds, Karns has the big, projectable pitching body type that makes scouts drool. Originally drafted in 2009, Karns fell to the 12th round and got hurt before ever pitching as a professional, requiring labrum surgery in his throwing shoulder that cost him his entire 2010 season. As a result, he did not begin his journey into the professional ranks until 2011 at age 23, where he put up some silly numbers in Rookie Ball (two hits, six walks and 26 strikeouts in 18.2 scoreless innings pitched) and continued to find success despite some wildness following a promotion to Short-Season Auburn.
The Texas Tech product, who turned 25 earlier this week, expanded upon the success he found at the lower levels of the system in 2011, enough to earn Baseball America's designation as the number 15 prospect in the Carolina League this season. This year, Karns amassed an 11-4 record and a 2.17 ERA (28 ER/116.0 IP) over 24 appearances (18 starts) between Low-A Hagerstown and High-A Potomac. While many numbers pop off the stat sheet – anything from his 1.01 WHIP to his 148 strikeouts in just 116 innings – perhaps the most impressive one has been the Texan's ability to keep the ball in the ballpark. In 171.1 total innings as a professional, Karns has allowed just three home runs, or less than one for every 57 innings of work. Even Gio Gonzalez, who was the best qualifying starter in the Majors at limiting the longball, allowed nine in 199.1 innings, a rate more than two-and-a-half times as great as Karns.
The good news is that even areas of potential weakness improved this season for Karns. There were concerns about his control in college, where he averaged about 6.0 walks per nine innings over his last two years in Lubbock. The right-hander improved slightly in his first season as a pro (5.4 BB/9.0 IP), then lowered his walk rate to 3.6 – a 33 percent drop – this season. Factor in higher strikeout totals, and Karns made a significant jump from a modest 1.79 to a commendable 3.15 K/BB rate.
Karns' strength lies in his best two pitches, a fastball that sits in the low 90s and can touch 96, complemented by a swing-and-miss, plus breaking ball which he will showcase at his next likely stop, Double-A Harrisburg. He will need to continue to develop his off-speed pitch there to give himself three plus pitches, the full arsenal to progress to the highest level of the game in a starting role.
Spanning The Future
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
After much speculation about how they would handle center field for the foreseeable future, the Washington Nationals answered that question today, acquiring Denard Span from the Minnesota Twins. In exchange, Washington sent Minor League right-handed pitcher Alex Meyer back to the Twin Cities.
"He fits very well for us," said EVP of Baseball Operations and GM Mike Rizzo of Span. "His skill set is something we have been looking for for some years now. He's a front-line defensive center fielder and a consumate leadoff type hitter."
Span is expected to lead off and play center field for the Nationals in 2013, allowing Bryce Harper to shift to a more natural corner outfield spot and Jayson Werth to return to the middle of the lineup. Rizzo cited the Nationals wealth of defensive outfielders, mentioning that all three were capable of playing center field at a Major League level.
"I'm definitely excited, I'm very excited to be coming to Washington," said span of his trade to the Nats, specifically singling out Harper and Werth. "I'm ready to be coming to a team that is already in place to win. They're definitely going to elevate my game, just playing alongside them."
Rizzo also said on Thursday that he has had his eye on Span for a while now, and even saw him play as a prepster at Tampa Catholic High School. He explained that discussions with the Twins have been ongoing for the past three to four weeks, but that they accelerated at the General Managers Meetings in Indian Wells earlier this month.
Span has compiled a career .284/.357/.389 Major League slash line playing almost entirely in center field over the last five seasons for the Twins. He has also stolen 90 bases over that time, including 17 in 128 games last year. Rizzo believes that speed may develop even farther with Span's move to the more small ball-oriented Senior Circuit.
"We think he's really going to come into his own as a base-stealer here in the National League," the GM said, also noting Span's strong ability to make contact. "He's one of the tougher guys in the league to strike out."
The 28 year-old whiffed just 62 times in 568 plate appearances in 2012 while drawing 47 walks. Born in D.C., the Tampa, Florida native was originally selected 20th overall by Minnesota in the first round of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft. After spending his first 10 years as a professional with Minnesota, Span said his change of scenery makes him a little nervous, but more so excited.
"That's the greatest feeling any ballplayer can have is know they're wanted," said Span of Washington's – and particularly Mike Rizzo's – desire to acquire him. "I could hear it in his voice, how excited he was to have me."
With the trade, the Nationals do not give up any Major League talent while acquiring a player in Span who is under contract for the next two seasons with a team option for 2015. Meyer, the return in the trade, just finished his first professional season, which he split between Low-A Hagerstown and High-A Potomac.
"To get a good, established Major League player at Denard's age with the contract that he has, you have to give up a quality player," said Rizzo, explaining that it is always a tough decision to part with young prospects, but that it was the right time for the move. "We feel that we have great depth in the Minor League system."
With tonight's trade, the Nationals have filled the first missing piece of their 2013 puzzle.
2012 Player Review: Gio Gonzalez
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
The Washington Nationals enjoyed unprecedented success in 2012, recording the best record in Major League Baseball. The team relied on the contributions of many different players, whom we will catalogue throughout the offseason as we look ahead to the 2013 campaign. Today we break down the remarkable first season of the heart and soul of the Nationals pitching staff, Gio Gonzalez.
When the Nationals sent four prospects to the west coast on December 23, 2011 in exchange for an All-Star but relatively unknown pitcher, some Washington fans were troubled. They had watched their team build steadily through the draft, relying on developing prospects to pull them to the brink of a potential breakout year. If there were any doubts as to the validity of the deal, EVP of Baseball Operations & GM Mike Rizzo put them to bed as best he could just two days later, showing the utmost confidence in his new left-hander by signing him to a five-year extension with options for two more seasons. Soon, the rest of the fan base would come to understand that they had not just acquired a promising young left-hander – they had just landed Gio Gonzalez.
Armed with a lively, mid-90s fastball, arguably the best left-handed curveball in the game, and one of the sport's biggest personalities, Gonzalez turned out to be just what the talented young Nationals team needed. Slotting into the rotation as a southpaw presence between right-handed flamethrowers Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmermann, Gonzalez immediately gave Washington one of the best young staffs in the game for years to come. And from his sparkling D.C. debut in the home opener (7.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K) to a formidable stretch run that saw him win five of his final six games with a 1.35 ERA and notch his first career shutout, the 27 year-old anchored the best staff in the National League. He finished the year with more wins than any pitcher in the game (as well as the lowest home run rate and OPS against), and was squeezed out for second place in the National League Cy Young race.
Gonzalez is signed through the 2016 season, with a team option for 2017 and a vesting option for 2018 that will kick in should he reach 180 innings the year prior. We've already written plenty about Gio this season, so relive his memorable 2012 campaign in the articles below, and allow yourself to dream of what may come in the rest of his Nationals tenure.
2012 Player Review: Christian Garcia
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
The Washington Nationals enjoyed unprecedented success in 2012, recording the best record in Major League Baseball. The team relied on the contributions of many different players, whom we will catalogue throughout the offseason as we look ahead to the 2013 campaign. Today we look at perhaps the most surprising contributor this season, reliever Christian Garcia.
Most Nationals fans had never heard of Christian Garcia at the beginning of Spring Training. Nearly all knew his name by the time the 2012 season was over. An impressive stint as a September call-up gave Washington another promising power arm near the back of the bullpen. But you have to look beyond Garcia's accomplishments once he got that call-up to understand just how good of a year he had already put together before ever reaching the Major Leagues in the first place.
In 58 relief appearances between Double-A Harrisburg, Triple-A Syracuse and Washington, the 27 year-old righty went 2-1 with a 1.11 ERA (8 ER/65.0 IP), converting all 21 of his save opportunities (all in the minors). He allowed just 58 baserunners (39 hits, 19 walks), good for a 0.89 WHIP, while striking out 81 batters, a rate of better than 11 per nine innings pitched. Those are the type of eye-popping, head-turning numbers that accompany an arsenal topped by a high 90s fastball and a late-breaking, hard-diving slider, like the one Garcia possesses when he is healthy.
Unfortunately, those last four words – when he is healthy – have followed Garcia around for much of his career and adversely impacted his Major League aspirations. Formerly a starter in the Yankees system, the 6'5" righty was originally drafted in the third round out of high school by New York back in 2004, but had never advanced beyond Triple-A. While his career Minor League numbers – a 3.22 ERA and 10.1 K/9 IP – showed his potential, Garcia had been sidelined with elbow trouble, undergoing not one, but two Tommy John surgeries to replace the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow.
While an often daunting rehab process awaits, with advancements in modern medicine, today's pitchers have achieved remarkable recovery rates from a single Tommy John surgery. However, considering how crucial the UCL is to the success of a pitcher, it should come as no surprise that patients who have undergone multiple surgeries, as Garcia has, face an even more challenging road to recapturing their original form. For him to be pitching at all, much less to the degree of success he found in 2012, is already remarkable. It also explains why the Nationals were able to ever have the chance to sign a talent like Garcia to a minor league free agent deal in the first place.
There is some debate as to whether Garcia will return to a starter's role in 2013, or work out of the bullpen. One thing is for sure – the Nationals found a diamond in the rough in Garcia, who will no doubt be a prime candidate to compete for a spot on the staff this spring.
2012 Player Review: Jesus Flores
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
The Washington Nationals enjoyed unprecedented success in 2012, recording the best record in Major League Baseball. The team relied on the contributions of many different players, whom we will catalogue throughout the offseason as we look ahead to the 2013 campaign. After a short hiatus, we are back at it with one of the Washington backstops, catcher Jesus Flores.
With the myriad of injuries beset upon the Nationals catching crew in 2012, there was one constant behind the plate, one man who was there, day in, day out, working with the pitching staff. Jesus Flores had nearly as many at-bats (277) as the fellow quintet of backstops he shared time with combined (303), appearing in over half of Washington's games this year. Defensively, he caught nearly 47 percent of all innings thrown in 2012 by Nationals pitchers.
Flores was thrust into the starting role after Wilson Ramos tore his ACL on a rainy Saturday night, May 12 in Cincinnati. When Chase Headley ran over Sandy Leon – the latter only a couple innings into his Major League debut – just 72 hours later, even more pressure landed on Flores to handle the league's best pitching staff. He responded both defensively and offensively with his best stretch of the season, batting .320/.352/.500 through June 3, his first 15 games following Ramos' injury.
Flores' offensive contributions this season were sometimes obscured, though. His first home run of the year was overshadowed almost immediately, as it was followed by Stephen Strasburg's first roundtripper of his Major League career, when the duo went back-to-back off Orioles starter Wie-Yen Chen on May 20 at Nationals Park. Flores' next three longballs all came against Atlanta, each in crucial wins. He opened the scoring off Brandon Beachy with a solo shot in the fifth inning of a 2-0 victory on June 2, then went deep against Randall Delgado on June 29 to help Washington to a 5-4 triumph. Finally, his three-run blast off Paul Maholm on August 21 provided the difference in a 4-1 Nationals victory.
Meanwhile, the backstop continued to improve defensively. After never posting a range factor above 7.00, Flores notched a 9.16 mark over 80 games in 2012, while logging a career-high 687.2 innings behind the plate. He held down the fort throughout the spring and early summer until the arrival of Kurt Suzuki in early August, at which point he returned to his backup role for the stretch run.
With Ramos set to return sometime next spring, the Nationals will have some decisions to make about the future of their deep and experienced catching corps. Flores is entering the final of his four arbitration years (he was a Super Two, starting back in 2010), and is set to become a free agent after the 2013 season.

Down on the Farm: Ryan Perry
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
Nationals fans who attended games early in the season may remember Ryan Perry's name and wonder why he is the subject of a Down on the Farm report. Wasn't he, after all, a Major Leaguer already? In fact, Perry has pitched parts of the past four seasons in the big leagues, logging a 6-6 record and a 4.36 ERA over 169.1 innings pitched, all out of the bullpen. While he has showed promise since his debut as a 22 year-old back in 2009, he had yet to progress in the way that his powerful arsenal of pitches promised.
As such, Perry and the Nationals both came to the same conclusion earlier this year – perhaps it was time to give starting a shot. Often times starters from the college ranks will move into the bullpen as they reach the higher levels of the Minor Leagues. Perry, however, possesses a potent array of pitches, including a high-90s fastball to go along with his changeup and slider. It was that raw talent that led the Tigers to draft him with the 21st overall selection back in 2008. But the transition to using those weapons over 100 pitches or more, instead of simply an inning or two, required an overhaul in approach. So the 25 year-old Perry packed his bags for Double-A Harrisburg to stretch out his arm, build his workload and try to make the successful conversion to the rotation.
"I've been in the big leagues, but I'm still learning," Perry reflected when we caught up with him towards the end of his Minor League season in Harrisburg back in August. "There are still many things for me to learn and to hone in on to get back there."
Perry made 13 starts for the Senators, his 2-4 record undermining his 2.84 ERA (23 ER/73.0 IP) over that span. He allowed just three home runs, while posting an impressive 1.11 WHIP and striking out more than twice as many batters (46) as he walked (22). That was enough for the Nationals to send Perry, along with some of their top prospects, to the Arizona Fall League.
Perry has been on both sides of the success spectrum so far in the AFL. He allowed seven runs over just 5.0 innings in his first two starts, walking four while striking out five. But he rebounded to throw four perfect frames in his next start, then followed that up with five innings of one-hit ball, completing a nine-inning stretch in which he allowed just one baserunner while fanning seven.
While his overall ERA sits a shade below 5.00 at 4.98, his peripheral stats have mirrored those he put up in Double-A. With a 1.15 WHIP and a 2:1 strikeout-to-walk rate, the tall, powerful righty continues to show the type of promise the Nationals were hoping when the two sides agreed to the experiment earlier this year. Keep an eye on Perry and the rest of the Nats prospects as they wrap up their AFL schedule this week.
The Most Valuable Pitcher
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
For better or for worse, Major League Baseball's top pitching and player awards are not determined the same way. Critics hem and haw over what exactly "most valuable" means when it comes to determining the league MVPs each year. But the Cy Young is simply given to the pitcher considered, objectively, to be the best overall. There is no such thing as the Most Valuable Pitcher Award. For the Nationals in 2012, that's a shame, as no pitcher was more valuable in the National League than Gio Gonzalez.
We here at Curly W Live are fully aware that wins should hardly be the decisive metric in determining a pitcher's value, but Gonzalez's totals were, nonetheless, impressive. The southpaw was the first pitcher in baseball to 20 wins this season, finishing with a Major League-best 21 victories. In so doing, he became the first D.C. lefty to win at least 20 games since Earl Whitehill in 1933, 79 years ago.
But let's dive into the statistics that really set Gonzalez apart. The Hialeah, Florida native led all qualifying pitchers in either league with a .206 batting average against. He also struck out 9.3 batters per nine innings pitched, the highest rate of any pitcher to throw as many innings (199.1) as Gonzalez did. The 27 year-old lefty allowed just nine home runs all season, for a league-leading rate of just 0.4 per nine innings pitched. Considering that he pitched half his games in the 14th-highest ranked offensive ballpark by Park Factor, those numbers are all the more impressive next to Mets ace R.A. Dickey's (Citi Field, ranked 23rd) and Clayton Kershaw's (Dodger Stadium, 25th).
Gonzalez was particularly strong in August and September as well, when the team needed him to step into the role of the top pitcher in the rotation. After earning his second consecutive All-Star bid, Gonzalez led the Nationals pitching staff down the stretch. He won eight of his final 10 starts while fashioning a 2.00 ERA over that span to help Washington win its first-ever NL East crown. He was even stronger in his final six regular season outings, going 5-1 with a 1.35 ERA (6 ER/40.0 IP) holding opponents to a .171 average.
While Gonzalez won't be able to celebrate with any official hardware like Rookie of the Year Bryce Harper and Manager of the Year Davey Johnson, he'll no doubt take solace in the fact that he led his team to the playoffs, something to which neither of his fellow Cy Young finalists can lay claim.
In Davey We Trust

At nearly 70 years of age, there isn't much that Davey Johnson has yet to accomplish in the game of baseball. He has already won a World Series as both a player and a manager, one of just five living men to do so. Coming into 2012, he had skippered three different franchises to the playoffs. And yet, he managed to notch a whole bevy of firsts in his first full season at the helm of the Washington Nationals. For his efforts, he was rewarded with the second BBWAA Manager of the Year Award of his career.
He guided the franchise to a Major League-leading 98 wins, 17 more than the previous franchise high, set back in 2005. That success translated into the franchise's first NL East title and Washington D.C.'s first postseason berth in 79 years. Mind you, of course, that while nobody else predicted such unprecedented success from the club, Johnson calmly and confidently told the baseball world exactly that – his team would be in the playoffs, all the way back before Spring Training began.
Despite a ton of early-season injuries to a good portion of his starting lineup, Johnson's club either led the NL East or shared its top spot for all but 10 days this season. When the dust had settled, they owned the best run differential in Major League Baseball, outscoring their opponents by 137 runs over the course of the year.
Johnson, along with Executive VP of Player Personnel and GM Mike Rizzo, made the decision to keep Ross Detwiler in the Major League rotation at the end of Spring Training. That, along with the healthy returns of Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmermann and the additions of Gio Gonzalez and Edwin Jackson gave the skipper the National League's best rotation ERA at 3.40. Once fully healthy, his offense went on to produce 194 home runs, second most in the league, establishing both franchise (1969-'12) and D.C. baseball (1901-'71, 2005-'12) single-season marks.
Johnson registered the seventh 90-win campaign of his managerial career and joined the legendary Billy Martin as the game's lone skippers to take four different teams to the postseason. Since shifting from a consulting role and returning to the dugout to assume the Nationals managerial helm on June 27, 2011, Johnson's Nationals are 138-107 (.563). Just how good has he been at guiding his young squad? In that same time span, only the Braves (139) have won more games among NL teams.
Among those to manage 1,000 or more games, Johnson's career winning percentage (1,286-995, .564) ranks second among all living managers behind his former skipper, Earl Weaver (.583). He will have one more season to improve upon those impressive credentials, having agreed to manage the 2013 season before retiring from the bench, back to the Nationals front office in 2014.
Congratulations, Davey. We can't wait to see what you have in store for your grand finale.

Capitol's first floor doors re-open
MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ The first floor doors of the Wisconsin state Capitol have re-opened after being closed for the past 12 years as a security measure following the Sept. 11 attacks.
The state Department of Administration announced Monday that the doors were reopened. Secretary Mike Huebsch called it ``both a literal and symbolic gesture'' to show that the Capitol is open and government is transparent.
Gov. Scott Walker's administration was harshly criticized during the 2011 union protests for limiting access to the Capitol, including closing entrances and temporarily installing metal detectors.
The newly opened entrances are at the top of stairs on four sides of the Capitol. The stairs are frequently the site of pictures for wedding parties and other events, but the doors have been locked for more than 12 years.
