Clay artist David MacDonald in his Syracuse, New York, studio. Strongly influenced by Nigerian pottery, MacDonald carves the surfaces of his functional stoneware forms with a wet wooden comb. The resulting imagery is "the strongest, most personal, most universal part of his work," says Richard Zakin in the review beginning on page 52.

Posted on 04/15/2011 5:07:49 AM PDT by Red_Devil 232
Good morning gardeners. Today is NOT tax day! Yall who file last minute can put it off until Monday the 18th. Why? In 2011, Washington, D.C., will celebrate Emancipation Day on April 15, a day earlier than normal, since April 16 falls on a Saturday. Emancipation Day marks the anniversary of the day that President Lincoln signed the Compensated Emancipation Act. The Act, which was "for the release of certain persons held to service or labor in the District of Columbia," freed 3,100 slaves in the District, making DC residents the "first freed" by the federal government.
Ok back to gardening. Looks like I will be getting rain today. There is a line of strong thunderstorms to the northwest and west of me. I had planed to rent a tiller today and till the garden plot. I will have to wait until the soil dries out now. Drats, another delay in planting! Some of my tomato and squash plants are begging me to get them in the soil. Received some nice seeds in the mail yesterday from Freeper Black Agnes. Thanks again. I should have the opportunity to get them into some soil and flats today!
If you are a gardener or you are just starting out and are in need of advice or just encouragement please feel free to join in and enjoy the friendly discussion. Our Freeper community is full of gardeners, each with varying interests and skill levels from Master Gardener to novice.
Weekly Gardening Thread
I hope all of you will stop by.
This is typically a low volume ping list. Once a week for the thread and every once in a while for other FR threads posted that might be of interest.
If you would like to be added to or removed from the list please let me know by FreepMail or by posting to me.
Last night my Jasmine was smelling so Sweet. It is blooming like crazy this year.
You just have to love the aroma of Jasmine in the evening!
It was great. Now my Gardenias are getting ready.
I already have small tomatoes and the beans and peas are up. I need to do a little weeding and Miracle Grow this weekend.
Please add me to your ping list. I am a new gardener and I am planning on growing vegetables this summer. I am sure I could use your advice...thanks.
How to protect your garden patch or field against radioactive fallout:
Weather has been nice, got almost all the spring stuff in last weekend. Did a lot of work last year tilling in lawn clippings to improve the soil and it really paid off. Looks like a rainy cool week coming up, should make stuff grow.
General question for those who may have some suggestions. I have a few starter tomato plants ( less than 1ft and still indoors for a few more weeks) that got a little too much direct sun on them the other day. They wilted, but have come back over the past 36 hrs. The leaves are still a bit shriveled and sad looking, but the stalks look like they're in good shape. Anything I should watch out for or do to help them along?
Good Morning.
Keep them watered. Plants dry out very quickly in those small peat pots or the plastic flats.
You can expect to get a lot of help from the many great gardeners here in FReepLand.
Morning all.
Eats this weekend courtesy of the garden. Baby mustard, chard and collard along with lettuce and radishes a plenty.
We will be buying our transplants this weekend, plotting out the bed and ordering trellises we found online.
Lots to do.
They got sunburned. Are the leaves bleaching and turning white? If not they should come back fine. It's pretty much about patience now.
We transplanted our tomato seedlings into bigger containers. At least 50% immediately wilted and haven't sprung back yet. I am wondering if that is common? Is it some sort of shock that we didn't expect or is that normal? Any tomato gardening tips for someone starting from seed is greatly appreciated. Thanks gardening FRiends.
No, the leaves are still green....they're just limp.
How do you get rid of wild onions?
I really don't know! They and their tink white flowers are all over my front yard.
I turned my compost last weekend, and I have never seen a batch that hot. It was in the low 80s, and I noticed steam coming off the compost as I was turning the pile. The other batch is almost that hot too. I still have several bags of leaves and grass clippings that will be started soon.
Our flowers are just taking off. The bees and butterflies really like the fresh flowers. Most made it through the winter and are liking the warm weather. The big split leaf elephant ear got nipped during the winter, but has a number of new leaves. The fruit trees have quite a number of fruit again. Now, if I can keep the raccoons and possums off them before the fruit is ripe.
We have a big Rosemary plant that needs trimming. There are several limbs that are on the ground and have roots in the soil. My neighbor wants one or two limbs for home use. Basil and sage are growing like crazy too.
Whenever you transplant tomato plants, plant them as deep as possible. I set my little two - three inch plants into the garden and some are only half the size now. I put one really tender plant almost to the leaves, and it is doing great. I had two in on container and didn't put one deep enough. It is wilting, but still green.
They may be ok, they'll start bleaching after 24 hours or s if there's any real sunburn. As long as you don't lose all the leaves on the plant it will come back. Fortunately there's plenty of time, I've had it where most of the leaves were gone and still had plenty of tomatoes off them.
You have to dig out the bulbs to get rid of wild onions. We had them on the farm, and that was the only way to get them out of the garden areas.
Although I grow vegetables, my "thing" is for ornamental plants...and Hosta in particular. I grow about 350 varieties (along with dozens of Brigmansias, Colocasias, Cacti and ANY zone 7 shade plant. If anybody is into that sort of stuff, let me know....I'm sure we could trade.
I have a problem with feral cats pooping in my garden. :(. I keep scooping the mess out as I find it, but they have trashed my peas that are still very small and tender. I'm thinking about putting down newspaper between my rows, do you think that will work?
On the positive side, I got my greenhouse megastore order this week of 4" pots, trays, and plant markers. YAY! I have a bunch of seedlings coming up, veggies and herbs and flowers. I got new potting mix and extra perlite. My little hothouse is pretty crowded!
The Lilac by the back door is blooming....Could smell it through out the house.
Fry them in butter???? (Pull out the bulb and all) After frying the wild mushrooms.
Good Morning,
I have some general questions on herbs.
I have chives and time planted in a half barell that I planted several years ago. Should I do any triming etc. The chives continue to grow back each year and are much thicked in the stem, flavor seems to be getting weaker though. Any thoughs? Oh I am in INDY
I'm pretty annoyed! I had TWO DAYS OFF in a row (yesterday & today) and it's so bloody cold and windy out that it's hard to get anything done. Grrrr!
I worked on the back tree line yesterday for a while, then decided I'd better get a pro in here to finish trimming those spruces before I electrocute myself as a power line runs through there too, LOL! I also had so many burrs in my hair that I had to cut a hunk out of my head! Oh, well. All of those 'cut on the horizontal' styles are 'in' these days, so I can probably pull it off, LOL!
Got some spring veggies planted the other evening, and I did some pruning and cleaning up along the edges of the garden, but the entire garden needs to be cleaned out before I can start dumping stuff in there (I've been collecting broken bags-o-amendments from work) and get it all tilled up. But, I have until mid-May, so I have plenty of time.
Work has been slow because it's been so cold, but when the weather breaks, it's going to get ugly, LOL!
Please pray for me... :)
Thank you, is it too late to trim now?
Anyone else having trouble with fire ants eating your seed potatoes? This is the first year that I planted potatoes and the little critters destroyed about 1/2 of my planting before I realized what was causing them to not come up.
I have not tried to poison them yet, but have noticed they do not like my gyp water (at the farm). Had an outcropping of fire ants near one of the fruit trees I planted and heavily soaked their mound when I watered the new trees and they seem to have disappeared (after about 3 waterings).
Japanese Lilac here. I could spend all day downwind of that bush when it's blooming....
Hi RD, hope you are well. My 65 ft. Magnolia is almost in full bloom. The flowers are nearly 10 inches in diameter. I hate the yard full of leaves though. If it were not for the spring blooms...
The garden was late going in. The back isn't cooperating anymore. Got the spouse to help me with the seeds last weekend. I used a rod to place the holes. Peas, okra and tomatoes are popping up already. Not sure how I'm going to pick anything but I'll figure it out. I also planted Gigantic Sunflowers. I thought some bib lettuce might like to hang out between them in the shade.
Take care and good gardening!
We've had really nice weather here in Central Missouri for the past week. I set out some broccoli, brussels sprouts and cabbage that I started from seed. Planted a row of mixed greens, several varieties of which I'm trying for the first time this year. The beets I planted last week have already sprouted. Snap peas are about 6" tall and looking very happy. A front rolled in last night and brought some nice rain - 7/10" in the gauge this morning.
But the big excitement for the week - my order of mushroom spawn arrived in the mail yesterday - 1000 shiitake plugs that will be pounded one by one into holes drilled in oak logs. That should keep me busy until the ground dries enough to get back in the garden.
We had the Orange Blossoms now the Jasmine and the Gardenias are starting.
Ah, cool. If you haven't planted yet, I'm OK. I'm in ATL.
I still need to tear out a bunch of cabbage I had planted over the winter. I've been giving it away here and there for the past week.
Today I'm going to put in 5 rows of white sweet corn (Augusta) in the first of 5-6 staggered plantings. Smaller, time staggered (2 week intervals) plantings gives me a near continuous harvest of corn all summer right up until the beginning of October usually. I used to like Silver Queen, but I've found that Augusta, believe it or not, is sweeter and more tender (also quicker to maturity by 12 days) If the rain holds off today I'll put in a row of green beans and a patch of white aoup beans, too. Should get some blackberries this year from the canes I planted last season. My red raspberries are going gang busters and I expect a huge crop this year.
Good morning all!
How are you dealing with pests and diseases in a preventive sort of way? I have two products Im thinking about using.
Green Light Neem Concentrate: an organic insecticide, fungicide, and miticide.
Burpee SeaCide: an organic insecticide and fungicide. 3% cottonseed oil, 3% lecithin, 94% edible fish oil.
If youve used these products, did they eliminate or control pests and disease? If youve had good results with another product, what was it and what was your frequency of application?
Tomato, cucumber and cantaloupe leaves are showing signs of wilt, mostly at the bottom of the plants. Ive pruned the affected leaves with the idea of improving circulation and reducing the chance of spreading fungus and disease. Im leery of further pruning.
My H.E.B Big Red Bell Pepper project is proceeding nicely. Two months ago I bought a huge red bell pepper from our H.E.B. grocery and planted the seeds. The plants are now almost two feet tall with what looks like the beginnings of peppers. Eager to see what the plants produce.
That's the only way I know. Seems like in this day and age there should be a "Round-Up" like herbicide that can do the job.
Tomorrow, hopefully, my son and his friends are going to excavate for our duck pond and associated waterfall and garden. We have a 14' by 21' pond liner and garden cloth for underneath it ready to be placed and rain coming on Sunday. I am finally getting a return on the investment of all of that food for the past 18 years!
The seedlings are growing and we need to get the raised beds put together soon.
Spring has sprung and the lilacs will be leafing out soon.
When I lived in Virginia, we had wild chives all over the yard. By the time I was finished mowing the lawn, I was ravenously hungry! lol
Have you tried a .22?
the daffs in my yard are about 4" high. No blossoms yet. a few spring flowers (the small bulb variety) and forsythia let me know it is spring... the weather doesn't really but the pollen/allergies do.
Have a great weekend FR horticulturists!
But I do have more seedlings that can be put into larger pots/planters, so it is not like I am going to have a day off. Today starts off with wet nasty winds at 48 degrees. And given what OK an AR went through last evening I really cannot complain.
Still no rain here in north central Texas. Yet the bluebonnets came in pretty...and smell wonderful! I'm amazed at what will grow in such arid conditions. I can't find a hint of moisture in the soil here, but the native plants come to life just the same. Even the mesquite looks beautiful this time of year.
I've transplanted most of the tomatoes and peppers (jalapeno and ancho) from seedling trays into their permament homes, and they're doing well in the warm/hot days we've had lately.
The compost heap is still behaving strangely - from hot to cold and back again. But I'll continue experimenting with it and hope to use it on a late-Summer/Fall garden.
I live in Central Mo.too. Planted corn in the garden yesterday. Wanted to get it in before last nights rain.
Thanks for the ping, I do have a couple of questions though and would appreciate any constructive input.
I have virtually NO experience with gardening.
We live in the high desert of SoCal. The "earth" is a caliche type of clay [so I'll be building a planter box] but the heat can be something else during the summer.
Composting naturally is pretty much out of the question as the extremely dry atmosphere basically sucks the moisture out of anything.
1) Are there any alternative ways to compost in the desert?
2) Are there certain types of veg's and herbs that will do okay in a hot and sunny environment?
Thanks in advance,

Legislature passes Attorney General's open government training bill
OLYMPIA — A bill to strengthen Washington state's open government laws by requiring training for most public officials has passed the Legislature and is on its way to the Governor's desk.
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson worked with Sen. Joe Fain, R-Auburn, and Rep. Gerry Pollet, D-Seattle, to secure approval of the "Open Government Trainings Act," Engrossed Senate Bill 5964.
The law was also sponsored by 23rd District lawmakers Sen. Christine Rolfes (D-Bainbridge Island) and Rep. Sherry Appleton (D-Poulsbo).
"Open government is vital to a free and informed society," Ferguson said. "This new law will enhance government transparency and ensure that public officials know and understand our state's public disclosure laws which were overwhelmingly approved by the voters."
The act is designed to improve public disclosure practices and reduce lawsuits through mandatory training of government officials.
A study conducted by the state Auditor's Office in 2012 found more than 250 "open government-related issues" among local governments.
The report found most violations are the result of insufficient training and knowledge, leading to lawsuits that could have been prevented.
When the new law becomes effective July 1, 2014, it will address these problems by:
Requiring local and statewide records officers and elected officials to receive training on the Public Records Act and records retention requirements;
Requiring members of governing bodies to receive training on the Open Public Meetings Act — including state and local boards, councils and commissions, as well as local taxing districts such as fire and sewer districts;
Authorizing training to be completed remotely, including through online training; and
Confirming that the Attorney General's Office may provide information, technical assistance and training.
"Sen. Fain and Rep. Pollet provided critical bipartisan leadership on this important effort to improve transparency," Ferguson said.
"Washington's strong open government laws allow people to remain informed about actions that affect everyone," Fain said. "Ensuring officials know exactly what is expected of them will help many different statewide jurisdictions maintain a high level of transparency. More informed government officials will also greatly reduce potential violations, ultimately saving taxpayers money."
"Attorney General Ferguson has endeavored for two years to develop this measure," Pollet added.
"Public officials must always recognize our state's commitment to open public meetings," he said. "The trust and citizen participation in our local and state governments relies upon public officials maintaining both respect for open meetings and support for the right of citizens to review agency e-mails and other public records."
Support from the Association of Washington Cities and the Washington Coalition for Open Government was also vital to passing the act, Ferguson said.
The Attorney General's Office has launched an online open government training page to assist agencies in complying with the new act, providing open government training resources.

Pinwheel says
This is a great idea. It would work with socks too.
And if one is able to do a wee bit of hand sewing they won't have to make a slit. The method would be:
Put the elastic on one end. Turn it right side out. Stuff it. Use a needle and strong thread or thin yarn to make a line of stitches about an inch from the top. Pull it close. Finish as above.

Angie's "Sweater Sleeve Pumpkins — NO SEW" has to be one of the easiest craft I have seen and I love the print on the sweater she used. Angie says, "A sweater sleeve! No sewing machine…I swear"! Think of all the stunning pumpkins you can make with her idea. You can make tiny ones with kid's sweaters or large ones with a man's sweater. Keep a look out for old sweaters from the thrift store and I am sure as long and the sleeves are undamaged you can pick some up inexpensively. Thanks Angie for sharing you talent. TUTORIAL HERE! […]

Colombia won its second group-stage match and has ensured a spot in the second round of the tournament. There are many positive aspects to highlight from Jose Pekerman's squad, but there is still room for improvement as well.
After defeating Ivory Coast 2-1 in Brasilia, it is clear that this Colombia is much more than just Radamel Falcao.
James Rodriguez is in extraordinary form. The Monaco playmaker is present in almost every Colombian attack and can score as well as create. Rodriguez is also in perfect tune with Juan Cuadrado and Teofilo Gutierrez, the quick combinations and movements from the trio demonstrate an impressive coordination that keeps the opposing defense in a state of constant alert.
Behind the Colombian main offensive weapons are two guarding shields that give balance to the team. Abel Aguilar and Carlos Sanchez can effectively take part in the creation of the South Americans' plays but can easily become fundamental in destroying the opposing team's build-up.
What was thought to be Colombia's weakest line, the defense, has proved to be solid enough to give confidence to the team on its constant search for the goal.
Its full-backs' attacking skills and synchronization with the upper lines have given Colombia's offense a full range of options in attack. Mario Yepes might be old and have speed limitations, but the veteran center back has taken over the guidance of the defense with great mastery and an unmatchable sense of location that allows him to be at the right place at the right time.
There are many things to praise from the already historic Colombia's performance, but if it wants to go further than the team did in Italy '90, there are a few things that could still be adjusted.
Here are four things that Colombia must change after its triumph over Ivory Coast.

Family dog bites toddler's face

A family dog was removed from an Omaha home Thursday after it bit a 1-year-old in the face.
The Nebraska Humane Society removed the pit bull from a home near 27th Street and Ellison Avenue around 1:30 p.m.
The owners surrendered the dog and told officers they no longer want it.

I'm going to Bilbao... well not quite to the whole Akademy but mainly to the QtCS. Looking at my calendar I conclude even getting these two days is a success. I'll try to show up @ Akademy too and say hello to you friends and chat a bit.
No, this is not HTML5 topic, I mean fruits of Calligra Suite Sprint #2 ;)
My plan is to post series of logs from the Calligra Sprint on the following days. Each covering one topic. Today about branding.
The story started when our logo has been delivered by our (KDE's) designer Eugene Trounev. I have looked over his shoulder not once on various occasions and I know his attention to detail.
Today is the second and last day of the Calligra Words mini-sprint. After spending yesterdays first day on planing and implementation of decisions made we spent today on solving all kind of problems that showed up since then.
In particular today we land;
* Fix wrong placement of anchored object if the object is anchored in a paragraph that spans two pages, and the anchor is in the part of the paragraph that is on the first page.
* Be sure to only try position an anchor once per layout-run.
* Implement anchor stacking.
A slight delay of my flight from Düsseldorf to Graz gives me time to recap the awesome time at the Desktop Summit 2011 in Berlin.
Having been part of the programme committee I was looking forward to see at least a small subset of the talks live, though I hope I will have the opportunity to see many more once the videos have been processed and are available online.
Selecting talks hadn't been easy, both because of the huge amount of proposals we've received and because deciding on suitable topics for such a wide range of attendees is no piece of cake either.
In addition to usual chatting about whether and how is Kexi utilised under KDE I would like to hear about others, what in the context of the Desktop Summit means GNOME users.
Another year, my first Desktop Summit, plenty of things to do, gstreamer training, help organization, even be a referee in a geek football match.
Crazy days ahead.
Leaving sunny Florianópolis right now !!
I'm back now (since two weeks already) from the KDE Platform sprint in Randa and I have to say it was great.
Randa is located very nice in the Swiss mountains, next to Matterhorn, and very well suited not only for KDE sprints, but also for cycling (I had my bike with me there) :-)
Flat things are good. I'm at Tokamak 5 in Nijmegen, the KDE sprint where we plough a deep furrow into the future of the Free Desktop and sow KDE seeds that will grow into exciting, novel interfaces and make the stuff we already have even faster and more reliable.
Transition to KDE 5, whatever it means, is a process not just one atomic step. Today a follow up of
the previous entry about fruits of the Calligra Sprint: Modern "File" menu merged with start-up view.
The ideas were much older but it all started to take shape in January 2011. First, some analysis and mockups born.
Last week was big for Calligra:

I've been trying to transfer some the posts from my other blog here since I can't maintain the other one due to extreme busyness. Here is one post there. A poem in Filipino titled "Iba't Ibang Sasakayan" (Different Types of Vehicles} by Emmuel when he was in Grade 3. He also drew the matching pictures using Tux Paint – a free interactive painting software especially for kids three years and up.

May kulay pulaa at dilaw
May kulay asul at berde

Which WIll Overturn DOMA First, The Courts Or Congress?
Last July, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy held the first ever congressional hearing to discuss the consequences of repealing the so-called "Defense of Marriage Act."
Now he's promised to call up DOMA repeal bill entitled "The Respect for Marriage Act" for a debate and a vote in the Judiciary Committee this next month. But with at least three federal court cases currently challenging DOMA, we gotta wonder: which government branch has the best chance of repealing DOMA first: the Judicial or the Legislative?
Our money's still on the judicial based purely on the unlikelihood that the Republican-led House will ever pass a DOMA repeal measure.
Image via Rob_sg
Ray, exactly,but then we have 5 ultra conservative republican catholic judges on the SCOTUS. They've already overturned precedent in the Citizens United debacle and I wouldn't mind betting they'd rule against repeal of DOMA in spite of overwhelming reasons fore repeal. George Bush made sure that the court would be stacked with conservatives, permanently in our life time favoring republican legislation. I just don't see it being repealed. I hope I'm wrong.
Courts. Because only courts can overturn laws. Congress repeals laws.
Trick question?
Courts are slow, and the Supreme Court unpredictable. A vote in Congress, even if this passes the Senate, at this point is strictly symbolic.
But then, symbols are powerful, and congressmen can be replaced.
@Robert in NYC: I agree with you Robert.
Correct if I'm wrong; Isn't Speaker of the House Boehner spending (at last report) 1.5 million tax payer $ to defend DOMA in the courts – after the Justice Department, well within its authority, declined to do so?
I have been told that the Congress of the United States is the worlds greatest deliberative body. They deliberate every issue far longer than anyone could possibly consider necessary. In the end, they usually do the right thing, but only after fully exhausting all other possibilities. The process often takes decades.
Well, Congress didn't deliberate for too long when it passed DOMA. I doubt this unconstitutional law will be removed from the books anytime soon. House=republican, SCOTUS=republican, Obama=weak. It's just too damn close to impossible.
The courts, probably within 5 years (though they may not mandate it in every state). There is a very reliable 5/4 split on the issue of gay rights, plus Roberts has dropped many hints of being supportive.
@Stefan: He has?
Kennedy is very open minded on gay rights. I think he will be the 5th vote to strike it down where gay marriage is legal. Makes me proud to have worked to defeat the Bork in 1988. Whatever Justice Kennedy's other failings and prejudices may be, anti-gay isn't one of them.

Erica Hill builds 'extended family'
Erica Hill is Mercer Island's Hilary Swank character in "Freedom Writers." Hill lights fires under high school students with her passions for English and running.
She won the MI Rotary Achievement Award on May 8, which recognizes individuals making significant community contributions while exemplifying the Rotary ideals of honesty, integrity, compassion and generosity. The past two such recipients were Marguerite Sutherland in 2005, for her civic and environmental leadership; and Edna and Chris Berger in 2004, for volunteerism.
Hill exceeds her job description as English teacher and cross-country coach, providing lunchtime and vacation runs, engaging large numbers of students in her activities, with which she brings "non-stop enthusiasm," according to her 20 nominators.
"I not only want my English students to find their voice and express it in a variety of venues, but I want to connect with them as a friend and supporter," she said. She presents them with such literature as "Fahrenheit 451" and "The Color of Water," advises them in creating the Pegasus literary magazine, and is available to them at all times by cell phone.
Parents say they would like to borrow her motivator button. Sandra Rockway says Hill coached her son for two years and although he's no "superstar," instills in him a drive to give his best. Hill's inclusiveness has raised the track and fitness programs to new levels and she even involves families in the fun.
"Erica's personal relationship with each student has built our cross-country and track teams into among the largest in King County [currently 150]," says MISD Superintendent Cyndy Simms. "Her students and runners would run to the end of the earth for Erica. She, in turn, welcomes every student at the finish line, cheering on even the last MI runner to cross the line."
Hill says she is paying back what she received in her own education at Seattle Prep, Seattle Pacific University, University of Washington and Antioch College, where she was mentored in all aspects of her life. And, of course, by her parents and grandparents and other family members.
"When I went off into the world my mom gave me a giraffe to remind me to 'stick my neck out,'" she told Rotarians as she accepted the award.
At 32, she's been affiliated with MIHS for 10 years, and her positive energy creates a ripple effect, said her nominators. She helps students believe in themselves, set their own goals and inch toward them relentlessly.
She is herself a model, striving to qualify for the Olympic Trials marathon, which must be run in two hours and 47 minutes, a feat she almost reached recently, minus a of couple minutes. She has won the Rotary Run in her category, and last spring she came in third in her 30-to-34 age group at the "Nordstrom Beat the Bridge 8K Run," completing in less than 31 minutes.
Hill lives in East Bellevue, with husband John, the head cross-country coach and assistant track coach at Bellevue High School — MI's arch-rival. "Whoever loses those meets gets to sleep on the couch," jests Hill. Their 16-month-old daughter, Zia, is named for the Hebrew word meaning movement and motion.
Hill, who holds a bachelor's degree in psychology, wants to give young people more than high school experiences. She contends that a pair of tennis shoes and a good book are lifelong therapies. "Running is more than getting from point A to B; it's measuring one's personal growth day to day. It can be a mode of adventure, a way to let off steam or think through a problem. And, a good book can impact your life with new perspectives.
"It's been my privilege to have had a few moments in our young people's lives to introduce them to my two passions. It's powerful for me to watch them go out into the world and do such incredible things. I really don't regard this as a job."

- The two UnSignposts I have published
- Fork (beginning)
edit Concerning review of The Last King of Scotland
Thanks once again for an excellent review. When I have more time I must repay you with another. Here are just a few points:
- His capital was an island (the Isle of Skye (true fact)) so he arrived on his capital as you arrive on an island and not at an island.
- "For some reason however..." is fine to say. Serial commas in English a very peculiar things. Many people don't use them a lot especially at words such as "and" "however" or "but." Others use them a lot. I do not use them much however one could be put between "reason" and "however" as my dialect of English does not use serial commas.
- I didn't know whether he had a son or not although a direct descendant still lives in France. Also the seen on the Church rooftop never took place and was just a joke on the Catholic Church not allowing women bishops.
- I didn't realise there was a movie with the name of the article when I orignally wrote it. It was a requested article and so I presumed it was meant to be about the last Stuart claimant to the Throne of England and Scotland.
It was not too hard for me to write about the Scots being pathetic. Despite being a Scot I do not live in Scotland, do not have the accent and am half-English. I consider myself a Scot at heart however I am surrounded by Southerners who detest the North and loath the Scots so I am surrounded by the anti-Scottish view point. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 08:45, June 21, 2013 (UTC)
- You are welcome and well done with your article! It is even better that the article "The Last King of Scotland" is not about a movie but about the Real Last Kong Of Scotland. This can be interpreted as a parody on a Wikipedia article: they talk about an unknown movie, as they don't really care for Scotland, while we are (well, you are) real patriots! But, as I have suggested in my review, you can add one or two lines about the film (if feel like it, of course). Anton (talk) 14:41, June 21, 2013 (UTC)
- You can. By the way, I became aware of the movie after clicking the link to the Wikipedia article in your article. Anton (talk) 14:49, June 21, 2013 (UTC)
- And also thanks for voting for Normandy! Anton (talk) 14:55, June 21, 2013 (UTC)
- And also congratulations with the feature of the Emu War! Anton (talk) 15:00, June 21, 2013 (UTC)
- I dissent from the original point of grammar. Even if I live on a houseboat rather than in a house, I do not therefore say I get on bed. If the reader does not know that the capital is an island, or if it is not clear to the reader that his arrival is a boat landing, that sentence will look incorrect. Spıke Ѧ 18:00 23-Jun-13
- I see what you mean however saying "he arrived on the Isle of Skye" makes sense however saying "he arrived at the Isle of Skye" could make sense but doesn't sound as correct. I cannot explain why easily as I am only going by my natural knowledge of the language (it might even be a colloquial grammar problem) however it makes more sense in my understanding to say that you are "on" an island not "at" an island. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 11:14, July 10, 2013 (UTC)
Yes, but we were talking about arriving in the capital. And I think that the fact that the capital is the island does not change the way you say it (you cannot say arrive on the capital). Anton (talk) 11:28, July 10, 2013 (UTC)
- However this whole island was his capital. "He arrived on his capital, the Isle of Skye" makes perfect sense here. (It was a small island). Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 11:39, July 10, 2013 (UTC)
- PS - I've done some more research and "to arrive at" can only be used for a station, airport or town etc. Therefore cannot be used for a whole island which is probably why I thought it sounded wrong in my head. So it is better to use "arrive on" here. "Arrive in" could be used if the Isle of Skye was a city or country however it is simply a land mass that is part of the UK.

You write at VFD, "I don't know if the article was good or not." All five voters said it was not, and explained why. At VFD, you always have a minimum of 24 hours to visit nominated articles and see if you agree; in this case, you had about 150 hours and did not see if you agreed. If you are really interested in writing an article on Mr. (or Ms.) Malmsteen, believe me that there was no humor in this article except the humor of writing random things, and the most random new things you write will be no worse. Spıke Ѧ 12:27 21-Jun-13
- Thank you for your comment: I have abandoned the VFD for two weeks and that's why was not aware of anything happening there and therefore did not read this text. I saw that there were five votes again, but as you said that this page is on nobody, I thought that perhaps you did not understand the humor not knowing about the existence of that person. If this article had bad humor, then it's all fine about its deletion. Anton (talk) 14:47, June 21, 2013 (UTC)
You are free to boycott VFD, but you are not free to have the same influence (such as the ability to save nominated articles) that you would have had if you did not boycott it. Spıke Ѧ 18:00 23-Jun-13
- I did not really boycott it. Normally, I follow everything using my e-mail (I find that easier than watching looking at Recent Changes) and therefore get an idea about everything that happens to the pages I am following. But sometimes, for a while, I stop receiving mails even though the changes are made. Anton (talk) 18:08, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
edit A Simple, (Non-Binding) Request
Hi there Anton! I've seen a lot of your work, and I gotta say... I'm impressed! You are truly, a great writer! Now, you may have not heard of me, but you may have seen my edit patrolling... or something about a "Denza." Anyways, I have a simple request, that you can refuse if you like, and no ill will shall come of said refusal. Could we maybe work on a collaborative article? I really want to write an article, but I keep getting stuck!It is quite annoying running out of ideas mid-article I think a partner would be great to have in writing articles! So what do you say? The article can be about anything you wish (I'm terrible at choosing between topics and such). So what do you say? I'll be awaiting your response! --The Shield of Azunai DSA510My Edits! 05:54, June 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I would like to collaborate. I am not sure if I have a lot of time but you are not in a hurry, are you? The topic could be anything. For example, as you say, that you are getting stuck in the middle of an article, we can take anything that you began to write (I don't know if you did or not) and continue working on it. If you want a new article, I have made a list of articles that need to be written and of already existing unfunny ones and you can use it (the link). Anton (talk) 07:17, June 22, 2013 (UTC)

- That's not that bad. I don't know if I miss anything this summer, maybe a bit in July, and I won't have a lot of time next week. But don't worry, I will try to get the article done. Anton (talk) 08:07, June 22, 2013 (UTC)
edit UnSignpost
As I am away for two weeks there will unfortunately be no UnSignpost. Could I trouble you in asking you whether you could create one and distribute it at some point during those two weeks. I shall write an article for it and post it on the press room for you to use if you wish and for an idea on how to write the UnSignpost simply look at previous weeks UnSognposts.
Also I am promoting you ton Deputy Chief Editor of UnSognpost as Dannyboy has never contributed and you certainly deserve it. Thanks.

edit English is a bemusing Language
I just noticed an error on your user page under "Reasons for being here." You have written "an utopia" however it is actually written "a utopia." I know we all have learnt the rule that in English you put "an" before a word with a vowel, unfortunately as with most English rules there are exceptions and words that start with a "y" sound such as "utopia" have "a" not "an" in front. This may be different for another dialect of English if they pronounce utopia with a "ooh (u)" sound in which case I am sorry for troubling you however as far as I know no one says that. Sorry to bother you. Thanks. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 16:59, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I can confirm that this is the correct rule on this other side of the ocean--although it is applied incorrectly over here too. Peter Schickele (creator of the "P.D.Q. Bach" hoax) was ridiculing this, not falling prey to it, when he wrote of An Hysteric Return [sic]. Spıke Ѧ 17:47 23-Jun-13
- PS--Anton, I suggested somewhere that you review the progressive tense, after editing the final paragraph of Brittany: It signifies not the current era but the current moment. Another lesson to brush up on is that verbs of cognition break the rules. A demented college classmate of mine apparently decided it would be more logical to tell us, "That is not what I am meaning!" That is indeed the current moment; only, because it is a verb of cognition, we use the simple present tense ("what I mean"). Spıke Ѧ 17:53 23-Jun-13
- Ok, I will look at it. Anton (talk) 18:03, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
- I am very bad at knowing all the English technical terms for my own language as, as my native Spanish teacher once told me, only the English (English speakers I presume) don't learn the names and rules for their complicated verb tenses when they learn it naturally (apparently Spaniards and French people do). I agree with Spike but this is more of a query. It is fine to say "That is not what I am saying" so is that an exception to the rule? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ScottPat (talk • contribs)
- Ok, I will look at it. Anton (talk) 18:03, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
- "Say" is an exception to the exception--that is, it is no exception at all (as it is not a verb of cognition). You can either refer to what you say (habitually: the simple present tense) or what you are saying (right now: the progressive tense). You can never discuss "what you are meaning," because verbs of cognition do not take the progressive tense. Spıke Ѧ 18:13 23-Jun-13
- You know, I am thinking (!) of exceptions all over the map, so maybe the rule is not "verbs of cognition." Though "I think" is a common way to prefix one's opinion, "I am thinking" is accepted to describe the current moment, and even colloquially to describe habit: "I'm thinking he's just mean." "I am hoping" is just as good as "I hope" and both seem to be describing the current moment, otherwise you'd have to go to "I tend to hope." But "I am wanting" is almost as incorrect as "I am meaning." Dammit, now I am confused. Like hitting a split-fingered fastball: One needs repetitions. Spıke Ѧ 18:20 23-Jun-13
- PS--Neither Shertzer's The Elements of Grammar nor WP:Continuous and progressive aspects say a word about this exception. Spıke Ѧ 18:31 23-Jun-13

Will the Votes For Highlight system be reformed?
As not many articles have been nominated and featured recently, we are here to tell you that the Votes For Highlight system will be changed. From now on, in order to increase quantity (as we already have enough quality), the nominator will be allowed to vote for his article as many times as he wants. To make life even simpler and to have a lot more featured articles, the goal will be only 2 votes per article. In addition to this, votes against will be counted as votes for. Next, as it takes some time to create something of good quality, featured articles with a construction tag will be allowed. Finally, if you do not have any inspiration and force to create anything, you can nominate articles from a page which has a lot of them. The QVFD is very good for this purpose.
This reform has not been applied yet as it is still being tested. If a user disagrees with it, he can vote against it here and his vote will be accepted. This vote is made, as described above. If anyone votes against the changes, this will be counted as a "for".
Main-page timebombs
Uncyclopedians were elated at the sudden return of the Chief Justice. Surely, two months ago the Marriage Counselor must have told the Chief to give up Uncyclopedia as his spouse agreed to give up cocaine and smash-and-grab robberies, but happily, both now seem to have agreed that neither partner was worth the sacrifice. And he is not just administering but writing, most notably American Football. Further proving that things are back to normal, VFH voted the article onto the main page during virtually the only month of the year when no one anywhere is thinking about American Football.
This led to talk that perhaps our main page should feature articles (or re-feature them) at such times as some readers might be thinking of the topic: Shouldn't American Football run again during the opening weekend of American Football? Your correspondent added that, by the next time someone uses a pressure-cooker filled with firecrackers to blow limbs off sports spectators, our readers should be trained to rush to Uncyclopedia to read a Feature Article on Pressure cooker.
This subversive notion, if carried to extremes, might result in the featuring of UnNews articles while the news is still news, as articles could move to the main page without the usual six-week wait for VFH voters to deliberate. Unfortunately, there is no Forum in which to complain.
There is a Forum on some new widgets that youthful Wikia spy Furry has been devising. Those of us patrolling overnight "contributions" needed better ways to swat them away, some even with explanations, or in rare cases mark them Patrolled; and Furry, having never learned that no good deed goes unpunished, confessed in passing that he actually likes writing the tools and might take requests to write additional ones. Furry is armed with JavaScript, a veritable Uncyclopedia remote-control that can change pages without having to reload them, he seems to also have a dog named Ajax, and his inventions are making life simpler. There is no Forum in which to complain about that either.

edit Next UnSignpost
I saw you remarking that you are Home Alone again for another UnSignpost, which you hope to publish tomorrow. In my opinion, your take at Forum:A big British clean-up is the period's lead story: That ChiefjusticeDS, hoping to improve the quality of our articles on British cities and towns (as though you and I knew anything about that!) is certainly responsible for inviting Brit Slayer to trash them all. I would start this off, but there is no page set up for independent dabbling, as there was two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, the country is on holiday (Independence Day), there is no baseball within two hours that I want to attend, all the stuff on talk radio is "best-of," and it is too hot to go outdoors. So I will be on-site all day. Spıke Ѧ 15:13 4-Jul-13
- I think it is a good topic to write about. Howevere, as you said that we should not promote vandals, I dismissed this idea.
- Concerning the comment on your talk page, I found the Monkey page accidentally. So I would like to help Uncyclopedia with deleting all these memes but I am not sure if I will be able to find them. Anton (talk) 17:20, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
I may be able to write about it without giving the vandal in question something he will view as a merit badge. Where should I start typing? Spıke Ѧ 17:25 4-Jul-13

- Thank you beforehand! UnSignpost is not my only calling on Uncyclopedia and that's why I like this site so much. Anton (talk) 17:42, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Under way now. But please don't use my biopic this issue as planned; that's too much of one person in a single issue. Spıke Ѧ 18:09 4-Jul-13

- Thank you for moving the heading. To be more organized, I have put "used" next to the already used biopic contributions. And if you look at that page, you will se that the only one that is not used is yours. I will contribute to this myself sooner or later but if I put my contribution there, it will be even more of one person in a single issue. Anton (talk) 06:27, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- It's fixed. Repeating my Change Summary, the left column became thin because you placed an item in the right column that cannot wrap, so browsers respond by giving the right column the maximum possible space. My solution was to delete the item, as there is nothing funny about it: It is garden-variety vandalism. You are the editor (or acting editor, or whatever) but I dislike the rebirth of this feature, as it encourages banning and huffing merely for the chance to make wisecracks that the victim is likely to take in the worst possible way. Spıke Ѧ 12:36 5-Jul-13
- Yes it was, but that was back in the day when Admins gave one another joke-bans for sport, then published the joke in the UnSignpost just to get more mileage out of it. I don't mean that the victim will be offended by seeing his ban message in the UnSignpost--He has either gone away or we mostly don't care--but by the original ban/huff message, which ought not joke around but explain in a businesslike way the reason for the penalty. Spıke Ѧ 13:06 5-Jul-13

- And what do you think about biopic contributions? (One of the above comments) Anton (talk) 13:27, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Spike, I will put my biopic contribution right now because my signature is not present there. And then I will publish the issue. Thank you for contributing! Anton (talk) 14:05, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
edit The Fork problem
Anton, I know your current dabbling at the Fork has the good intention of attracting some of its authors here, though the split is about things that pre-date you, and also about things that are not the things it claims to be about. I think it also results in us losing more of your time here than we will gain from the Fork. In the meantime, however, would you please not use the UnSignpost to violate our Terms of Use, by inducing other readers to leave our webhost to sample a competing website? Spıke Ѧ 14:14 5-Jul-13
- Can I rephrase the article, so it will ask the readers to help our VFH by looking for good articles on the fork? Anton (talk) 14:16, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Check on the author and see if they have a talk page here like Leverage and you can make the suggestion that way. If they haven't then there is nothing you can do. There may be an instance where you see a pre-split article featured on the Fork and think it would work here but only use the version you see on this site. For example, Titanic. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 14:45, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- I changed my article. Now I don't call the readers to the fork. I agree that the instructions you (Romartus) wrote are reasonable and probably the best, and if any of the readers has any questions about the project, I can just tell them that we need more VFH material and, therefore, can bring some articles from the fork if they are good. Can I leave the article and publish the issue? Anton (talk) 14:53, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
Romartus explained to you in your Forum that the two sites will both continue to exist as long as their respective owners see fit, and I explained to you there that the two sites are developing different personalities. Do not use the UnSignpost to feed your personal campaign as Peacemaker. It has already been responded to by another Forum by IFYMB! (whose one-year ban Romartus has seen fit to suspend) asking us to feature the Fork's 40 most recent FAs. I have deleted this. In other words, your peacemaking is being met by trolling (not that everyone at the Fork is behind it). The gist of your UnSignpost article remains that we drop what we are doing (Romartus's Mordillo edict--write a funny article) in favor of inter-website politics. Spıke Ѧ 16:30 5-Jul-13
- Um, I wasn't trolling. I am actually for the idea, but I wanted to see how you guys would respond if we asked you to feature our already featured articles. IFYMB! (talk)
- Well, this is what I suggested. But I said that we should choose the best articles and feature them, not just the 40 most recent. To Spike: newspapers should inform the readers and, as the problems I caused this week are rather significant (a lot of users took part in the discussion), I think there should be an article about it. I will try to change it even more, so it will be informing the reader. Anton (talk) 16:44, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Also, the fact that it may bring the uncycs together is almost certainly the best reason for it. I don't like to admit it, but we need each other. IFYMB! (talk)
- IFYMB!, so you agree with my ideas? Anton (talk) 16:58, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Oh yeah. I mean, lets see how the VFH's play out, but if things keep getting worse then I think this is the way to go. As there is not much I can do here since SPIKE has me down as a troll who needs to be crushed, I will try to get others on the non-wiki to understand it could be useful. IFYMB! (talk)
- And that's what I did. And here's what I got. I agree that we should wait and if the affairs become worse on the VFH, then something should be done.
- To Spike: I have changed the article even more. Now it is purely informative. And I think I will publish the newspaper, as I won't have much time later. Anton (talk) 17:08, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

The Self-Proclaimed Greatest Periodical Of All Time!
July, 5th 2013 • Issue 188 • A rag you can surely use for a clean-up of your own!
The Great Party is close
The entries for the prestigious 2013 Poo Lit Surprise Awards (PLS) have required an extra order of candles and writing paper for the judges this year. Entries from Uncyclopedia's veteran contributor Modusoperandi, Shabidoo (the dancing banana of 2010), the repentant Sinner George and the avian Flyingbird were up against this year's crop of promising arrivals. Anton199 from Russia with the love of Uncyclopedia, the self-proclaimer ScottPat, and the ordained proofreader the Reverend P. Pennyfeather. Anton was so eager to take part that he also qualified in the Noob category, where his opponent for an award is the gender-neutral Uncycloperson. Two awards can already be sent out, as ScottPat and Anton199 will have to find room on their shelves for the Best Rewrite and Best Collaboration awards. Though they had no competition, they are winners all the way. Your awards will be delivered by chauffeur on the day the other winners are announced.
All this preamble, therefore, is a warning that the judges - Romartus (from 'some way south of London Bridge') and PuppyOnTheRadio - have yet to declare the winners. In the interests of transparency, the decisions will be announced this weekend (6th-7th July) and will explain how they chose the winners. All will be transparent, above-board, and above-lodging, as the hoped-for bribes did not materialise this year - perhaps a first for Poo Lit. So look out for the results, and for those who have made their holiday plans - well, cancel them!
British clean-up proceeds grimily
Our last UnSignpost announced that the Chief Justice graced us with what one wag called "an hysteric return" (though writing about something else entirely), as well as, from our best reading of the "mainstream" press, suddenly being given full charge of the country of Egypt in place of the Muslim Brotherhood (pictured).
If that were not a tall enough order, the Chief has announced a big British clean-up, an effort not only to expand articles beyond the theme that every British town is full of chavs, drunks, and foreigners with turbans, but to propose a regional forest fire of bad articles that will run circles around the sluggish Votes for Deletion process. Unfortunately, the only ones not already in the know were, by virtue of living in Russia or the States, inherently unqualified to assist.
Among Uncyclopedians who actually know something about Britain, Magicrainbowunicorn is resting on his/her/its laurels with Reading, England, the last such article that we slapped on the main page, whereas Dorisdoom had been making progress with Leicester until suddenly discovering she was not alone on the wiki, which spelled Doris's, er, doom. However, as most such swan songs are not sung so as not to be heard, we can hope that both budding new Uncyclopedians will some day see beyond the chance well-intentioned revert and take their places among the greats.
But a more prolific editor has stepped up to the Chief's call. This user, whose various user names all have something to do with killing Britons until we permaban them, had the hilarious concept that all our articles on the United Kingdom be replaced by a single manifesto on how Brits are Satanic progeny, while at the same time being spawned, and also totally gay. Not only is a comedy theme that would span an entire department of Uncyclopedia the most ambitious initiative since Oscar Wilde, this user's single-mindedness and total predictability have prompted innovations in the field of Abuse Filters to ban him without annoying a human being. And, in much less time than it takes him to figure out what portion of his manifesto we are pattern-matching, we can change it.
Our previous little helper has not been stopped but has seen the reward for his efforts eliminated by something that Wikia daintily refers to as "throttling," which is the tidiest euphemism for targeted, total ruin ever devised outside the U.S. Federal Reserve.

edit Doing things on uncyclopedia
You are free to do what you like on uncyclopedia as long as you don't break anything or interfere with maintainence or anything that has a specific proceedure or obnoxious. You don't have to ask permission to do things Anton. Even if you have a new idea, go ahead and start a forum or just do it if its nothing monumental. If it goes to far, an user or admin will tell you and (hopefully) not be nasty/condescending in the process. Anything we can do to get more users interested and (with a hell of a lot of luck) a community of writers helping each other write is a very good thing. --ShabiDOO 12:59, July 9, 2013 (UTC)

- Guardian Angels is basically a contradiction. You take a left-wing word and shove it in with a right-wing ideal. They should be Telegraph Angels or Daily Mail Angels. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 11:32, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

- Yeah, on IRC. Death To The West (talk)

- Two words: Zombiebaron's OP status... wait, that's three words. Anyhow, Hotadmin4u69 resolved it. So I'm back in the fork... This would be good material for their "100 Worst Reflections on 2013" Denza quits uncyclopedia for 15 minutes, and then comes back to the site as his old self... buisness as usual.
