In the last weeks/months I've had friends tell me that they refuse to talk to me because of where I obviously stand on the candidates. I've had friends tell me that my personal opinion doesn't matter because I'm a demographic. I've been called a bro and a baby by hundreds of people who I don't know in anyway. I've watched people I respected call people they don't know in anyway bros and babies and have lost that respect from me. I've had people tell me that they don't think stupid people should be allowed to vote, and have had people tell me they now demand to know who someone is voting for before engaging in any social interaction of any kind with them. In a country where barely half the registered voters ever bother to cast a ballot, I've seen people tell others they are wasting their votes if they don't vote for someone elses candidate of choice. I've found all of this to be terribly depressing.
The polls are horrifically close right now. Terrifying close. I've been sad to see Hillary supporters continue to beat up Bernie supporters because very, very realistically the only chance Hillary supporters have for their candidate to win is by convincing Bernie supporters that she deserves their vote. And excites them, and gets them to drag their friends to the polls. That isn't happening as far as I can tell. Meanwhile, the Trump supporters are being friendly as ever. The other day I noted as much on twitter and over the following 6-12 hours I was flooded with gracious, kind replies from Trump supporters and insults and attacks from Hillary supporters. Many of which were deleted after the fact. Some of which were in direct message from people I thought were my friends. And I should note, I've been incredibly critical of Trump publicly. It's appalling in my mind that things have gotten to where they are. But there they are, and I really have no interest in continuing to aid in the downfall of civil discourse so I'm out. We have confidential ballots in this country for a reason and I won't be discussing this publicly any further.
(This was originally sent out as part of a longer rant to my mailing list. Sign up for it if you want. Or don't.)]]>
I should clarify that so I don't sound like a raging ego manic, which isn't to say I'm not a raging ego manic per se, just that this specific statement shouldn't imply that. Going back many years I considered myself to live very comfortably on the bleeding edge of any number of topics. I'd be involved in conversations where ideas would be proposed for the first time. Sometimes I'd propose them, sometimes I'd just be there to witness their proposal. This was pretty normal for me and I remember some circles of friends telling me it wasn't a normal thing for most people. I felt lucky to have these things happen almost on accident just because I tried to surround myself by interesting people talking about interesting things.
The result of this would be, months or years later when these topics would be presented to larger audiences I was often asked to be a part of those conversations. Just one example, I can't tell you how many panels and conferences I spoke at on the topics as blogs as journalism, or vs journalism depending on your position. But these kinds of things happened on a pretty regular basis. And then they stopped happening – though not because I'm not having those conversations with those people anymore, but rather I think I'm having those conversations in different ways.
Lingering back in the good 'ol days for a moment, I spent collective years of my life writing blog posts and commenting on other people's posts. This sounds unbelievable to people these days who associate comment threads with nothing but spam and trolls, but I'm sure many of you remember the days where one blog post would propose an idea, spark a very active comment thread which would include countless trackbacks to other blog posts that had been inspired by the ideas in this one. You could spend hours following an idea around the web. It was exciting, and a useful way to spend that time. You felt like you accomplished something, and were a part of something. At least I did. And as I said, these conversations would translate into all kinds of other opportunities.
I can't pinpoint the exact moment where that changed, but over a few years it did completely change. I'm sure someone could argue that the same kind of thing happens today on Medium or some some Facebook post or whatever, but that feels very different to me. Those are like internet "free speech zones" that are anything but, and by nature are off putting to decentralized web advocates such as myself. The point of making your own blog post and sending a trackback to another site was so that your words and thoughts lived on your own site. Someone else couldn't edit or moderate you, but also someone could go to your site and scroll through your posts and get a good idea what kind of stuff you were interested in and your thoughts on those topics. Not that this doesn't happen today, it's just different.
Let's get off memory lane – that's not what I wanted to write about. What I realized is that while I once had these conversations which I found thought provoking in very public forums, I now have them in much more private or semi-private ones. And not intentionally, that's just how they evolved.
Blog comment threads started filling with spam and trolls so people stopped reading them, and if people don't read them much of the motivation to contribute to them fades away. And with the introduction of Twitter, blogposts from a few days ago seemed like old news. And while #irc used to provide a forum for realtime brainstorming it had a barrier to entrance for a lot of people and easily Twitter became the realtime way to hash through ideas with people for a while. However unless you were already following all of the people in the conversation, you'd easily miss the replies or never even know the discussion was happening. As more and more people joined twitter the spam and trolls followed and it gets hard to have a conversation when half the replies are from anonymous accounts telling you to go fuck yourself.
Private Slack teams helped insulate some of these discussions, but then again if you aren't in them you don't know what is happening. And email, especially private discussion groups, ended up providing a safe space to talk about things with the caveat that they were not fully hashed out ideas. Which I think is an important part – for me I always thought of my blog as a place I could have a conversation that was made up as I went along. I might not have a clear idea in the beginning but through the process of writing about it and talking with others I could help shape the idea into something that made a little more sense. That changed for me at least when people I didn't know started digging through my archives and throwing half baked ideas from 10 years ago in my face as evidence that I didn't know what I was talking about. Because in fact I didn't know what I was talking about, but in the process of writing those posts I was working to figure it out. And maybe I'd written 20 different posts on a single topic – the 20th being much more refined than the 1st, but having the 1st used against me was enough to make me a little trigger shy about making those kinds of posts. Which, as a result, would prevent me from ever getting to that 20th.
I don't know if anyone else has experienced anything like this, but I realized in thinking through it that I used to find people thinking about the same kinds of things I was because I was blogging about them, talking about them in public. And I haven't been doing that at all in some time. Sure I have my mailing list that I occasionally use to think out loud, but more often than not it's just a collection of things I happened to think were interesting without a lot of deep or long form commentary from me. If you already subscribe to that list you know I've lamented this before which should serve as evidence that I've been thinking about this for a while without any real clear idea of steps to take to change it.
Though, maybe making this post is just the kind of step I need to take. You tell me, if I wrote more longer blog posts about assorted topics, would you read them and help me think through the ideas? I miss those conversations.]]>
It's one thing to lament about things that happened back when we were kids, but in todays world the topic of "believe or else" is unfortunately just as current. And I'm not even talking about extremist events like the terrorist group ISIS beheading people on YouTube because you don't even need to look that far. The United States prides itself on being the land of freedom, with freedom of religion baked right into the Bill of Rights, yet our currency declares allegiance to a supreme being (that was added in 1956 by the way) and Saudi Arabia considers atheists terrorists. A crime punishable by death, by a country that just last week beheaded 47 people in public for various crimes, most of which weren't capital. This from a US ally and member of the UN Human Rights Council. One has to question the level of religious freedom and tolerance that exists a country that helps decide global human rights thinks it's OK to kill people because they don't believe in their personal favorite fairy tale. How many countries is that now that I can't travel to, for fear of being murdered because I had the audacity to think for myself?
Thinking about all this causes me to constantly weigh out my own feelings. I think everyone should have the freedom to believe whatever they want, including the belief that all these superstitions are a bunch of crap. And I think they should grant me the same to me. I think if everyone just left everyone else alone to their own conclusions we'd be fine. But the fact of the matter is that for so many of these people, the only way they can feel good about their own choices are to condemn the choices of others. All religions have blood on their hands, and it's almost always from people who decided to believe something else. And it's because of that I can't help thinking how much better off we'd all be without any of it.
So happy Religious Freedom Day, I look forward to the time when I can say that while actually enjoying religious freedom. That day certainly isn't today.]]>
In the initial post I designated 3 core principles:
I've been playing with this idea for the better part of the last 10 years, on again and off again, though it's getting to the point where I find off again frustrating and it stresses me out to the point of inaction more often than I want to admit, so on again is my preference these days and I've been actively getting rid of things that don't fit the bill. Over those years the specific items I choose, as well as what exactly those core principles are have changed and evolved and I thought it might be useful to track it on GitHub so I've created a page there with some info that I'll add to as time goes on, and anyone is welcome to fork or suggest changes to.
My current thinking is that a personal uniform should be replicable by definition so having that as a principle doesn't make a lot of sense. And for me, mix-matchable is resolved in a single solid color. So, circa December 2015 the principles are:
Brands I'm liking right now for this include Outlier, Acronym, ExOfficio, Rapha and Patagonia. I'll list out some specific items from these companies on the GitHub page in the coming days.]]>
But this was all up front so I knew what I was getting into. I set up a recurring transfer with my bank so that each month I'd put X dollars into a specific savings account that I knew was just for doctor visits. This certainly would have been useless if I was hit by a bus, but as a relatively healthy active guy in his mid-30's (at the time) it covered the bases for what I needed quite well, and when I needed it I felt that I got the best health care I possibly could. My doctors were thoughtful and caring and took time to give me choices, explaining the potential outcomes of every potential route. This was a starkly different feeling I'd ever gotten from a doctor previously where I'd always felt rushed in and out, and prescribed some course of treatment without any understanding what or why. Of course, now I understood why, those doctors were trying to meet the demands of the insurance companies.
Skip ahead to 2015. I'm now legally mandated to buy health insurance and as noted by many others the low premiums translate into massive deductibles. And to be clear "low premium" is still a few hundred dollars a month. It's about the same as I used to squirrel away in my health savings account. Which I still have to do by the way, because my doctors still don't accept insurance. So I could dump them and go to another doctor who does accept insurance and then it would balance out right? Wrong. Because until I hit that giant deductible I'm still paying out of pocket. So where as before I was paying out of pocket for health care, now I'm paying out of pocket for health care and health insurance that I can't take advantage of unless I get super sick.
Earlier this year I had to make an emergency room run late one Sunday night. Whew, I thought. At least that health insurance wouldn't be a total waste. A few months and bills later and the end result works out to basically I pay $6,000 and my health insurance pays $200. Because it turns out they don't cover 99% of anything done in an emergency room. This is on top of the now twice as much as I used to have to spend every month on health costs.
And again, I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford it. But lots of people aren't. People are forced to have insurance but still can't afford to go to the doctor. This is a mess. Single payer is still seems like the only reasonable solution.]]>
The platform at the Jiyugaoka station was packed with people waiting for the next train, an express going towards Yokohama. Suits. Salary men. A few school kids and ladies who all seemed to have some sort of shopping bag with them. He's seen this scene several times in the last week and blends right in the best of his ability. Headphones in place blocking out the noise of the tracks and book in hand to occupy the time between stations. The train arrives and everyone boards. It's not as crowded as he expected it to be, but still very much standing room only. He's reading Pattern Recognition and is a little freaked out that all of the places Cayce visits in Tokyo he also saw, though a day in advance of reading about them. Patterns for sure.
People get on, people get off. Somewhere near Kikuna a seat opens up and he takes it, careful not to take up any more room that absolutely needed. It's next to the wall and he slides right in. Everyone sitting is doing the same thing – arms and shoulders tucked in tight, attention focused on a book or mobile device. No one looks around, no eyes ever meet. The further away from Tokyo they get the more the ratio of people getting off the train beats out those getting on. About the same time he notices that there are only 3-4 people still standing he notices her. He's been sitting next to her the entire time, either that or he sat down next to someone else who go up at some point without him noticing. It's possible because he's been sucked in by Gibson at this point, but doubts it. She's on his right, the wall is on his left.
Another stop and more people get off. For the first time on this trip there are vacant seats, and no one left standing. Another stop and more people exit for whatever destination they are off to. She's still pressed tight against him and he stops thinking about the footage, and wonders how long until she slides away from him. More people get off, vacating more seats but she doesn't move. He looks at her but she doesn't return the glance. Her hair is long and black, though barely concealing a set of white iPod earbuds. He sees the nano she's holding but can't see the screen, not as if he could read it anyway. It's the pink model. He smiles and turns back to his book wondering what she's listening to. The Jesus and Mary Chain are pumping through his own sound isolating plugs. They are good and he can't even hear the train which says a lot.
"I get an electric shock from you"
He almost jumps when she touches his hand, but doesn't. He jumps inside, but it doesn't register outside. He realizes he's been holding the book with his left hand and let his right drop down near his leg on the seat. She's done the same with opposite hands and her fingers had just brushed the back of his hand. He didn't know if it was an accident, her eyes still fixated on something else, some other direction, not him. But her hand doesn't pull away. She moves it closer. The backs of their hands are touching when their fingers start to merge. Another stop, more people getting off the train, no one new gets on.
"And there's something going on inside"
He's still staring at the book but hasn't read a single word in what seems like an hour. The only thing he's aware of at all is the two fingers pushed in next to his pinky and ring finger. She hasn't looked but there's no way she's unaware of it. Another station, another stop. There's no one else on their bench but she hasn't moved away at all. The doors close and he grabs her hand. It was a bold move, the first thing that couldn't be brushed off as accidental. She doesn't pull away. She keeps her hand there, she never looks.
"Yeah, the world could die in pain, And I wouldn't feel no shame"
They are definitely holding hands. She's never looked at him, not that he's been aware of. He's never seen her eyes. She hasn't looked. He's trying not to. The last other person gets off the train leaving them completely alone. He looks at her but she keeps looking the other direction. He turns back the book which he's completely lost interest in and feels her squeeze his hand just the slightest bit. She still hasn't looked. He realizes that this is equally the sweetest and strangest moment he's shared with anyone in possibly years when the train reaches it's final stop. She lets go of his hand, puts her iPod into her bag, stands up and walks off the train. She never looks at him. He watches her walk out the door, down the platform to the escalator towards some random exit. She never looks back. He doesn't follow. He sits there and listens to the song. The train doesn't move.
"Makes you wanna blow the stars from the sky"
Most of this never happened.]]>
Speaking of the pre-internet early 90's when I was in high school and controversial topics – In HS I had an english teacher who I thought was the coolest, though he had an obsession with The Rolling Stones that I could never quite wrap my head around. Anyway, his name was Jon Scott and he was one of the few teachers I ever interacted with who I felt I learned something from and helped me along the way. At one point, in an exercise about journalism and writing from a non-biased perspective, he assigned us to write a paper about something controversial that would have clear opposite sides that we could examine. Not to decide which side was right, but to be able to write about differing viewpoints without taking sides – and compare and contrast the viewpoints. I recall other kids in my class choosing things like "which are better, cats or dogs" and "why SPORTS GUY changed the face of SPORTS" and things like that. For my paper I decided to write about Satanism. I don't think I could pinpoint exactly what led me to that decision but my family was super religious and took huge offense to any questioning of things they felt were unquestionable so probably played into it on some level.
Mr Scott had to approve everyone's topics and when he got to mine he asked to talk to me after class and wanted to know what I was getting at. I must have made a convincing argument though I don't recall it because he signed off on the idea and let me write the paper. I wish I still had that paper because I'd like to see now how my 15 year old brain was processing things, but I remember that after spending countless hours in both the school and local public library I couldn't find a single book making the case for, but there were endless writings against. I thought that was odd, it was like there was this giant discussion about something but no one actually involved was included. So instead of writing a compare/contrast piece I wrote about this bias and wondered how all these authors could have so many opinions and consider themselves authorities on something they had never had any actual interaction with. Seemed odd to me. I remember Mr Scott liked my approach and gave me a nice grade on the paper. He told me later that he was very used to topics having two sides and that I'd approached this from a completely different perspective and surprised him which wasn't something he was used to happening at the middle of nowhere Florida high school where we crossed paths. I've thought about that many times over the years and think I owe much of my approach to research to his encouragement of my questioning the motives of the sources. I imagine if I had known then that Satanists were not in fact devil worshipers but rather atheists I could have written an even more surprising paper. Speaking of memories, turns out morality, not memory, makes us who we are.
Anyway, there's a point to this and that is that the other night I fell down a google search rabbit hole and found a 2014 article called "Satanism and Scholars of American Religion" by John L. Crow which I found fascinating. He wrote:
"If we look at Oxford's recent volume, The Devil's Party: Satanism in Modernity, of the twelve scholars, only one teaches in America, Eugene V. Gallagher, a prominent scholar of New Religious Movements. The rest are from or teach in Northern Europe, mostly Scandinavian countries. While a number of the scholars in the book examine Satanism in a European context, seven of the essays look at aspects of American Satanism, many focusing specifically on the founder of the Church of Satan, Anton LaVey. Why is it that European scholars of religion have more to say about religious Satanism, a religious tradition that emerged in America, than American scholars of religion?"
"The answer to all of this is that scholars of religion in America are deeply ambivalent about Satanism, and much of this ambivalence comes from the field's theological history and the theological commitments of its members. American scholars of religion are frequently uninformed about religious Satanism, and more importantly, due to a variety of reasons, mostly theological, do not consider Satanism a "real" religion or a religion worth study. Satanism shares many of the same problems as the traditions in the field of New Religious Studies. However, it has the added burden that, unlike other traditions studied and engaged by the field of NRM, Satanism rarely has anyone clarifying and educating about its historical background or place in American religious practice. Our field repeatedly attempts to portray itself as secular and independent of theology, particularly Christian theology. But the ambivalence about Satanism brings into focus the ways in which theology still shapes the field of religious studies, especially in America. Ultimately we need to ask ourselves. Are we theologians or are we social scientists? Sadly, when the topic is Satanism, the field, as a whole in America, looks more like the former than the latter."
He followed that up a few months later with a post on his own blog with more thoughts on the topic and links to some other books addressing the issue. I bought all the books and can't wait to read them.]]>
1985 was a rough year for me. At home, at school. The fact that my recently divorced family had just moved across the country to somewhere in rural Texas, and had started using an assumed name didn't help things. What did help things was a tutor that a teacher suggested I spend some time with after school. The tutor was a kid from a few grades above who seemed equally excited about the situation. We actually clicked right away. This was noteworthy because I'll be the first to admit that I didn't quite fit in with the other kids. Not saying that I didn't get along with them, I did, they were just into things I couldn't really get excited about. I often felt like more of a spectator, just kind of watching things play out around. At that time I didn't know any better and assumed I was just weird. Not that I'm not weird, but that's a different story. Anyway, this tutor and I were supposed to work on my math and Latin (yes, Latin) skills which were sub par apparently, though they didn't get any better during our lessons. Thing is, he didn't teach me any math or latin, but he did clue me into everything awesome in the world.
The people you can point to in your life who had a significant impact are rare, but this guy, whose name I don't even remember, introduced me to both Monty Python and the Circle Jerks, among other things. If you know me today you can see how much credit is due this one guy. On his suggestion I snuck home his loaned cassette copy of Group Sex and within seconds of putting it into my walkman I had an overwhelming feeling of "Finally!" Until then music had been one of two things for me – either the slow, mopey and depressing stuff that my mom way constantly playing at home, or the stuff on the radio that people were always dedicating to each other. One psudo-father figure who used to hang out around my house was a big Casey Kasem fan and was always listing to the weekly Top 40 countdowns. I found all of this to be terribly boring. Conversely, this cassette was exciting and scary.
This resonated, and made me excited about what else was out in the world that I didn't know about. I dove in deep and had similar reactions upon hearing Minor Threat, Sex Pistols, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, Suicidal Tendencies, Black Flag, Run DMC, Gorilla Biscuits, NWA and Sick of It All not long after. I'd found my people, and even if they weren't right there with me physically, knowing they were out there in the world somehow made things better. Knowing that these people who weren't happy with the way things were and wanted to make a change could do something –even if it was just to sing about it. This was incredibly powerful and meaningful for me to learn at such a young age. Unconsciously these bands became my social litmus test, I could gauge right away where new people I'd meet fit in my world view. Were they people who would accept things as they were, or were they people who would try to change things for the better.
I had a similar experience with art. Growing up I'd been to museums and found them largely boring. I know now that was as much due to what I was being taken to be see as anything else, but as an angsty teenager I really didn't give a shit about the old masters. Eventually I stumbled onto the likes of Bosch, Darger and Worhal and I got it. Just like the bands I was now obsessed with these artists were commenting on the society surrounding them, and not everything they had to say was roses and sunshine. Even if sometimes it was.
A decade later a friend who I'd been exchanging letters with for a while but never met – a penpal as we used to say – came to visit in Chicago. We spent the entire night of his arrival driving around the city in a borrowed pick up truck, blasting NWA and talking about the drive to have a hand in shaping the future. We talked about small actions that can have huge impacts. Writing a song. Telling someone about a band. Creating an image that makes people ask questions. Simple actions that can change the world. As sun rose we called it a night, having accomplished our goal of installing huge images of a sunken eyed figure looking out over the city commanding people to OBEY.
Or perhaps challenging them to resist such orders.]]>
Example 1: The kid has an iPad, I loaded it up with videos for him a while ago. Anytime we travel together I know that as soon as the plane takes off I can give him the go and and he can watch any of the videos on his iPad and kill a few hours of travel time. Except last week as soon as we hit the runway one of his videos won't play, then another, then another and another. I look and find some new setting "show all movies" which is turned on, I turn it off and now it shows "only movies that have been downloaded to this iPad" which is about 5 of the 30 that used to be there. Some unauthorized autoupdate changed this and deleted files that I had on this hardware. I don't have autoupdates turned on for this so everything about this was against my wishes. Who on earth at Apple thought this was a good idea?
Example 2: Same trip, my iPhone. Same problem. Half my music is gone. I don't use icloud, I don't use Apple Music, I don't use any streaming shit. I have my own MP3 files and I chose which of those files, those songs, I wanted on my phone. Except now half of them are gone because again, some update that I didn't consent to deleted files from my device.
I used to be able to trust that Apple products would just work. Now I can't. I feel betrayed.
And that's on top of the massive piece of shit that iTunes has become.
While I've been reassessing my digital interactions I now find myself reassessing what tools I use as well. Suddenly a dumb music player that reads 256GB MicroSD cards sounds like a more appealing travel companion than my iPhone. And that makes me reassess everything else.
I need a new laptop as my trusty 11″ MacBook air that I've dragged all over the world for the last 2 years is on it's last legs. I'd been eyeballing the new MacBooks but that was when I was trusting Apple to be making the right steps forward. Suddenly, unexpectedly, the older MacBook Pro seems much more appealing even though it's bigger and heavier – if only because it has ports I can trust and depend on. But reconsidering that is making me reconsider anything. I've loyally used Mac OS since the early 80's but suddenly I'm wondering if something else isn't a better choice.
I don't want a company deciding how I want to want to use my stuff. I want to make that decision. I don't know if Apple respects my choices anymore. But what else do I consider?]]>

"Who needs to try when things are meant to be"
29/31 by Garfunkel and Oates (the sensational Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci), a song about the same woman from a perspective two years apart. (some NSFW language) [previously 1, 2] [via]
It's time to get laid.
Time to get laid. Yep, we've seen Kate Micucci before, but, the addition of William H. Macy makes this all worthwhile. (DLYT which I've promised not to ever do again but, what the hell!) How did I miss this movie?

Having suffered from migraines for 30 of my 45 years suddenly they were crippling and frequent. Often I thought I was having an aneurysm. Dr Florin's staff quickly got me in and after a month or so a steady treatment plan had me back on my feet and nearly migraine free! I feel as if I have a new lease on life! This is the best my head has felt in years!
By far the best office i have ever been to, Very friendly staff.
If you want to be made to feel like your health issues are a mental disorder, then you are in the right place! I have several medical issues and was sent to see Dr. Florin for neurological issues and he in turn did not bother to find out what was wrong with me. Rather, than actually be a Dr. he secretly puts that everything is mental in your patient file so that all your other Dr.'s can see it. He did not do anything but babble! Waste of time, money, and now I do not trust Doctors! Completely arrogant!
No flexibility on appointments,, female person on the phone was unfriendly and the first thing out of her mouth was what kind of insurance did I have.. and I was referred to this office by a patient of his.... PASS on that...
He's been doing this a long time and is always spot on with his diagnosis. He's very smart and takes care of his patients.
I know many neurologists in Orange County, and I chose Dr. Florin.
I am a physician who has the choice to see any physician I want. When I needed a neurologist for what I knew was going to be a difficult diagnosis and treatment course, I chose Jack Florin. Enough said.

If you are reading this, you most likely already know that vermicomposting is the process of using worms to decay organic waste. In this article we will cover the different aspects of developing a worm bed so your soil superheroes can get to work digesting your kitchen area and garden waste.
Start With a Container
You can buy different sizes and kinds of commercial worm bins that are perfect for indoor or outdoor use. If you are handy with a hammer, you can develop your very own bin from wood. For those of you on a spending plan, a plastic container or rubber container with a cover can likewise be used. If you are considering something bigger, a raised garden bed might be right for you. If you choose to develop your own or use a plastic bin, then make certain to drill holes in the cover and in the bottom to permit the worms to breath. Cover the holes with mesh or landscaping cloth to avoid the worms from leaving. For raised garden beds, make sure to select a shaded location or produce shade with a covered frame or lattice. The Ideal temperature variety for worms is 60F to 80F. If the ambient temperature level exterior is cooler or the nights are cooler, the worms will normally be great because the breaking down organic matter will generate heat. If you plan on keeping your DIY bin inside, then bear in mind to position something beneath it to catch any worm tea that drips out of the air holes.
Fill the Container with Worm Bedding
For composting worms like red wigglers, the most typical form of bed linen is shredded moist paper. Prevent shiny and color print as the chemicals are not good for the worms. Shred the paper into inch to 1 inch strips. Moisten the paper. You can spray the paper up until it fills like a damp sponge or you can soak the paper and squeeze out the excess. The shredded paper must be damp, but not dripping damp. Fluff up the paper to there is lots of air for the worms to breath and space for them to burrow. Fill the bin about three-fourths of the way complete. For a 10 gallon bin, you will need about 50 pages of torn newspaper.
Alternative bedding products include shredded cardboard, shredded fiber egg containers, and coir. Coir, or coco-coir, is readily available in a range of "brick" sizes, which expand to about 5 times their volume when shredded. Whatever bed linen material you option, make sure it is damp and fluffed to produce great deals of air space for worms to dig in.
Spray the fluffed paper or other bed linen with 2 to 4 cups of potting or soil or soil from your backyard. The worms require the grit in the soil to assist them digest their food. Plus, the soil presents advantageous microorganisms. Check out this 6x8 shed for further details about Gardens .
Add and Feed Worms
The worms will squiggle down into the wet, dark environment to look for security from the sun. Do not feed the worms right away. Your worms can process about half their weight in organic matter per day.
Feed your worms fruit or veggie scraps consisting of rinds, peels, husks and cores. Veggies can be prepared or raw. Even rotting or moldy fruits and vegetables are fine. Got overripe bananas, feed them to the worms. Crushed egg shells are fine, too. They assist include the gritty material that worms require for their food digestion. Slicing or perhaps blending the food into smaller sized pieces will make it much easier for the worms to consume. Avoid citrus as worms just do not like it, but it will not hurt them. More importantly, absolutely no salt, meat, bones, milk, oil, or animal items of any kind (other than the crushed egg shells).
Final Thoughts
Simply a couple of last pointers. Keep the bed linen damp and not damp. If bed linen is dry, spray with water. If bed linen is wet, add more newspaper, crushed eggshells or calcium carbonate. Fluff the bed linen weekly to bring in needed oxygen. Feed worms once or twice a week and keep them far from light and heat sources.

Nottingham Forest 1-2 Cardiff City
Cardiff continued their revival under Neil Warnock as they made it three games unbeaten with a 2-1 victory at Nottingham Forest in the Sky Bet Championship.
First-half goals from Aron Gunnarsson and Joe Ralls put the Bluebirds 2-0 up by the interval at the City Ground, and the hosts were reduced to 10 men early in the second half when Thomas Lam saw red.
A Henri Lansbury penalty at the death reduced the arrears but in the end proved little consolation as Forest suffered a second straight loss.

9 Milwaukee restaurants suspended temporarily for health reasons in 2013
Milwaukee's health inspectors have been busy: Nine city restaurants so far this year were ordered to close or partially suspend operations until they addressed violations ranging from pests to smelly sewage in the kitchen.
Nearly all of those restaurants have since reopened, and ordering a closure is still rare when inspectors peek behind the curtains of the hundreds of restaurants and taverns in the city. But those inspections still turned up at least one critical food safety violation at almost 400 of the 900 or so establishments inspected this year, a Journal Sentinel review found. »Read Full Article(26)
This is the final weekend for most Milwaukee County Parks pools
Milwaukee County Parks pools will begin closing after this weekend as lifeguards begin heading back to campus.
Deep-well pools will remain open through Sunday. Those are the pools in Hales Corners, Holler, Jackson, Kosciuszko, McCarty, Oak Creek Parkway, Sheridan, Washington and Wilson parks. »Read Full Article(4)

Hey, I'm Lyle!
My wife and I are retired professors teaching part-time. We're musicians (clarinet, violin) interested in the arts, especially classical music. We have just finished a fascinating, unforgettable year in Japan as visiting professors. We love sharing our Chautauqua vacation home with others, because the Chautauqua Institution is a unique opportunity for recreation, education, relaxation and life-long learning. There's no place like it!
All four seasons in Chautauqua are amazing. The many people who come for the 9 week summer program season enjoy a pleasantly cool retreat lakeside. In the autumn the crisp, bright air and the fall colors are a sight to behold. Winter in Chautauqua brings out the toboggan, cross-country skis, downhill skiing at Peek 'n' Peak and Holiday Valley, horse-drawn sleigh rides around the grounds, and a glass of spiced wine by the fire. Yumm. After the deep snows, when spring comes, the Plaza is ablaze with tulips, and the "snow birds" gradually return, energizing the whole cycle again.
We like to cook, and there are many farm stands and markets nearby to source local Chautauqua County produce from. Since our year in Japan, we've been know to produce a 7-course Japanese gourmet dinner on occasion--a lot of work, but worth it.
As avid readers, we can usually be found with Meg's nose in a detective story, especially one with a woman detective, and Lyle might have a history, biography, or modern American volume open. He likes to keep up with his German by reading, too.
We've had some amazing experiences with people around the world and made friends in many corners of the globe. Many of our guests return year after year, and we consider them treasured friends, too. At our place, everyone should be able to just unpack and have a great vacation, but everything they need is right at hand That's our goal.

Alzheimer's vs. Dementia: What's The Difference?
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. Dementia is not a single disease, but a non-specific illness syndrome, or a set of signs and symptoms. Dementia refers to a decline in cognitive function (such as a loss of thinking, remembering, and reasoning skills), to the extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities. The term dementia is intended to describe the spectrum of severity, ranging from the mildest to the most severe stages—regardless of the cause.
According to studies, African Americans have a greater risk of Alzheimer's than whites if another family member has suffered from it.
What Causes Dementia?
The most common causes are Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. However, there are many causes of dementia. Some forms are due to degeneration of neurons, while others are due to disturbances in other body systems that result in neuronal dysfunction.
Neurodegenerative means that neurons (which are brain cells) gradually degenerate (cease to function or function inappropriately, and, eventually die). This death of brain cells impairs the neuron-to-neuron connections, called synapses—which is where and how messages are passed along in your brain). This "disconnect" can results in a range of dysfunction.

Blue laser profile sensors are ideal for high precision 2D profile measurements on shiny surfaces, transparent objects and hot targets.
The scanCONTROL BL laser profile sensors are specifically designed to measure surface features such as gap, profile, width, step height, flatness and angle on red hot glowing surfaces, shiny or highly polished surfaces and transparent materials such as plastics, glass, optical components and film/substrates. The sensors are designed for where red laser diode sensors do not perform well.
The scanCONTROL BL models have been designed in all other aspects identical to the scanCONTROL series that use a red laser diode. This means same mechanical dimensions, measurement geometry and software interface. Therefore any application where a conventional scanCONTROL laser profile sensor has been used, the blue version can be automatically dropped in place.
The Blue Laser scanners are available in three classes: Compact (2900/BL, 2700/BL), High-Speed (2950/BL, 2750/BL) and Smart (2910/BL, 2710/BL).
The NEW scanCONTROL 29xx-10/BL laser profile sensor features a sharp focused 10mm blue laser line. With a resolution of 1280 points it is ideal for applications where absolute precision is required on small or difficult to measure surfaces e.g. (semi) transparent, red-hot glowing and organic materials.

Ocean County College has been partnered with Hands-On Labs since 2007, and in that time, HOL has been there for us with respect to our extensive online growth. HOL has created customized science lab kits for our increasing number of online science courses (including Forensic Science), and has responded to all of our requests as quickly as we ask for them. Their lab kits are an excellent complement to our courses. Their expertise in the Sciences and their customer service are second to none.
— Marc Labella, Ocean County College
I have been using Hands-On Labs in our online General Chemistry course for two semesters and I am very happy with both the product and the support! Hands-On Labs is great! The lab kits and experimental procedures provided are very similar to our on-ground General Chemistry labs. Our online students love getting to perform hands-on chemistry experiments at home, and I love that they are getting an experience that is very similar to our on-ground students. The product works well in our course, and the support we receive is outstanding!
— Shay Bean, Chattanooga State Community College
I am currently using Hands-On Labs kits for my Microbiology class at American Public University. I'm wrapping up in week 8 and I'm getting some feedback on the labs. The reviews are rave! They are five star positive! The students had an excellent experience and loved the labs. The students liked the two-week spread and one comment states it's the best lab they have ever had and they have learned more using HOL kits than with any other class they ever had. . They feel the pace was right, they were not overwhelmed, the content was challenging but they learned more about microbes than they ever thought they would. We are extremely pleased with our Hands-On Labs experience.

So I'm happy to announce that I've been playing Demon's Souls, which I would suggest you go and try out if you have the money and a hankering to play an action JRPG that doesn't suck. But be warned: This game will make you its little bitch. Seriously, I put off playing this game for a while because, frankly, I just couldn't get past the first part. This is mainly because of the character classes I tried starting the game out with my first few tries. I'm now playing as a knight, and I'm happy to report that I've been doing really well...relative to the way I was doing. And ever since I got my stats up to where I could wield the Bastard Sword (+1!) I've kinda been hooked. But that's not to say it's been a cakewalk. Seriously, like playing Bayonetta on hard (or just playing through the last few levels on normal) this game will chew you up and spit you out if you're not careful. Or could it be that I've lost my touch?
I remember playing through Mario, Castlevania, Mega Man, and Double Dragon as an eight year old and not having as many troubles as those games have given me when I went back and played them as an adult. Seriously, fucking Mario, a game I used to be able to beat in like an hour as a child, is challenging. There's really only one thing to blame for my faded gaming skills: The infamous argument that games have become drastically easier than what they once were. Hell, even the last Ninja Gaiden wasn't nearly as challenging as I feel it should've been. In fact, I'll go on record as saying that the last quarter of Bayonetta was more challenging than an entire playthrough of Ninja Gaiden II. And that last stage, a marathon of mini-boss battles...challenging to the point where I actually said out loud, "You've gotta be kidding me," when I got to that giant monster I had to fight on the side of the building. Luckily he was easy, and everything after that kinda lacked the earlier challenge of the stage, especially the lackluster final boss.
But I digress.
I know this argument isn't new, that video games have gotten easier to make them more accessible to the less "hardcore" crowd. It's a fairly well accepted fact. But I'm happy to say that there's still games out there that can make me feel like a little bitch, that make me honestly fear dying and give me incentives for improving my skills. Those games give you an honest sense of tension that is lacking in most games we see these days. The feeling I get during each encounter in Demon's Souls is a mixture of fear and excitement, of anticipation and dread. I end up wondering if I'll win, and that's against the normal foes. Sure, that fear died down after I started lugging around my Bastard Sword, but then they went and threw a fifty foot tall armored knight in my way surrounded by archers, reminding me rather quickly that I was still just a little bitch with a long journey ahead of me. And really, is there a better feeling for a gamer out there?

Mark received the revelation of the Gospel of Grace with many tears in 2010, as he had to unlearn everything he was taught and replace it with the truth. Mark's wife, Jannette, also received the revelation of Grace that same year and continues to support Mark with 100% dedication.
Mark Hicks has been teaching the Gospel of Grace since he received the revelation of its true meaning. He has been teaching through Facebook pages, local Bible studies, and engaging one on one with people. Mark's passionate teaching style is simple and easy to understand. It is exciting to see people searching the scriptures like the Bereans of Acts 17 so that they can live in the simplicity of the Gospel of Grace.
Mark and Jannette are graduates of Charis Bible College through the Continuing Education for Ministers Program. They reside in Alabama where they teach people about God's amazing Grace.

Its a publicity stunt. And the 10000th rated man in ANY individual sport would beat the best woman, just as any mediocre small college men's team in any team sport would destroy a world all-star team in any team sport.
Hopefully, she won't make the cut and this silliness will be put aside for another generation.

The "Battle of Bighorn" where Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam beat David Duval and Karrie Webb was about publicity. This is about the best female player in the world seeking better competition.

She WILL make the cut because she is that good. Even with all the pressure on her, she still will beat the socks off men who don't even belong holding her bag.
Hopefully, she won't make the cut and this silliness will be put aside for another generation.

Plus she's playing on an exemption, which cuts both ways. Some will say she should have qualified. Someday (probably sooner rather than later) a woman will qualify for a PGA event and play from the tips just like the big boys. Then there will be little room for arguement. But with an exemption, she's not really taking a spot away from some guy a ways down on the qualifying list. They could have used that exemption on anybody.
They choose to use it on a highly qualified woman when they knew Tiger wouldn't be playing. They knew they would be attracting a lot of attention, some for the right reasons, and some for the wrong.
I say good luck to her, and I hope the guys remember what it means to be a gentleman.
Posted 21 May 2003 - 09:08 AM
Then please explain why college baseball teams would lose, from time to time, to the Colorado Silver Bullets - the women's professional baseball team that barnstormed the country back in the '90s.
You ignorant claim about the 10,000th-ranked-man doesn't even pass muster with simple fact checking.
Boston Marathon - 2003 official results:
Men's winning time: 2h 10m 11s
15th place, 2:23:59 - Diego Colorado
16th place, 2:25:20 - Svetlana Zhakarova
So the top 15 men beat the top woman. And that top woman beat over 17,000 men who entered.
And if Annika makes the cut, will it still be silliness? Or will you reconsider your opinion of women in sports?

I think she has a huge chance of her game collapsing under all the pressure and becoming a spectacle.
I`ll split hairs on this topic and say: I don`t think she should play in a mens tournament at this time.
The women protesting at the masters in Augusta, Ga last month were heavily laughed at. The local sheriff even sent them down the road to do their protesting where they would not bother anyone.
If Annika does blow this one, with the Augusta protests being fresh in everyone's mind, womens golf could loose a great deal of respectable ground
Posted 22 May 2003 - 04:50 AM
If you are in the minority that likes to watch women athletes play (just pan the sea of empties at any WNBA game, where, BTW the average player makes 1/1000th of what an NBA player does) fine. I like women's sports to. But understand that watching women's anything is like watching college or minor league sports. Fine, valid, and interesting. But not the best in the world.
Thank you for your submission on the Boston Marathon. When running becomes a sport, it might be relevant.
Posted 22 May 2003 - 12:08 PM
I have no problem with female drivers in Indy or Nascar so it's not that I'm against women playing in all traditional "mens" sports.

What does this have anything to do with WNBA? And why does it matter how much a person gets paid to how good they are? I think she proved that while she isn't as good as the top of the men, she can at least play with them.

If you are in the minority that likes to watch women athletes play (just pan the sea of empties at any WNBA game, where, BTW the average player makes 1/1000th of what an NBA player does) fine. I like women's sports to. But understand that watching women's anything is like watching college or minor league sports. Fine, valid, and interesting. But not the best in the world.
If its covered in SI its a sport to me (including the swimsuit stuff)
Thank you for your submission on the Boston Marathon. When running becomes a sport, it might be relevant.

The 'publicity' is the effect, not the cause.

In other words, if she were forced to make a living at this, she would not.
And a totally different situation from Jackie Robinson, who was held out by a racist system, although he was good enough to play. This person, like me and millions of others, isn't good enough to play on the PGA tour. Totally different.
A publicity stunt that has now failed, as the Memorial Day weekend will be filled by Indy, Charlotte, the NBA and Baseball.
See I told you so.
