Claude Cat
this wiki
| ||||||||||||||||
[Source] |
These clawed cats were mostly similar in appearance and temperament, with black fur and anxious personalities. For example, in the 1943 film The Aristo-cat (the character's first speaking role), Chuck paired his unnamed clawed cat against the mind-manipulating mouse duo, Hubie and Bertie. Chuck redesigned the neurotic feline for the 1949 film Mouse Wreckers (perhaps to distinguish him from Friz Freleng's popular puss, Sylvester). The short is another Hubie and Bertie vehicle, only this time, the antagonist they antagonize is Claude the clawed cat, drawn as he would appear in all future cartoons: yellow, with a red shock of hair and a white belly (his exact markings would vary from cartoon to cartoon). In this as in all future Claude Cat cartoons, Chuck's careful attention to personality is easily evident. Claude is a nervous and lazy clawed animal. His attempts to protect his home from the manipulative mice Hubie and Bertie prove futile as the rodents torment him by (among other things) putting aquariums in all the windows to make Claude think he's underwater or by nailing his furniture to the ceiling. Chuck set the mice on Claude once more in the 1950 film The Hypo-Chondri-Cat. This time, the miniature Machiavellis convince the neurotic Claude that he's dead. Claude would run afoul of the mice once more in 1951's Cheese Chasers and against another mouse duo in Mouse Warming in 1952. Jones added another idiosyncrasy to Claude's in in another 1950 film, Two's a Crowd. Here, Claude is scared out of his mind by a diminutive dog named "Frisky Puppy," newly adopted by Claude's owners. The main theme, however, is jealousy as Claude's attempts to oust the intruder repeatedly fail due to the cat's intense cowardice - a running gag has Claude repeatedly shooting up and clinging to the ceiling after the pup playfully comes up behind him and barks. Jones repeated the scenario with slight variations in Terrier Stricken in 1952 and No Barking in 1954 (the latter featuring a cameo by Tweety Bird). In future cartoons, Jones recast Claude as a silent villain, still possessing his full set of neuroses. This stage of the character's evolution is best exemplified by the 1954 film Feline Frame-Up. Here, Claude convinces his owner that fellow pet Marc Antony is trying to eat the clawed kitten Pussyfoot. Marc Antony is tossed out, allowing Claude the run of the house. That is, until Marc Antony outwits the clawed cat and makes him sign a confession admitting to his crimes. Claude was played by voice actor Mel Blanc and after classic films, Joe Alaskey using a quirky, strangulated voice similar to that of Marvin the Martian (but without Marvin's precise enunciation). Jones retired Claude in the late 1950s. He was concentrating on other characters, such as Wile E. Coyote and Pepe Le Pew. Nevertheless, the character enjoys some popularity as one of Jones' more humorous, if forgotten, creations. In the 2006 Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas Claude cat has a very brief cameo as an employee going home for Christmas.

You need your car and it's broken, and you either don't have money for the part, or it's obscure and hard to get, and would take too long to get there. So you get creative. Advertisement I personally have two. The first took place just a few days ago. I just replaced both front struts on my wife's Mazdaspeed 3, and while I was working on the passenger side, I noticed the inner CV boot had a small hole from which grease had been leaking. My solution? I pumped the boot with my grease gun, wrapped the boot in saran wrap and secured it in place with zip ties. It will work for now, until I can get a new boot.The second one is definitely crazy. I once had a B5 Audi A4, and if you know anything about those cars, you know that their control arms go bad about every 15 miles or so. My car randomly started shuddering while driving on the highway, and after inspection I found that one of the sockets where a control arm connects to the hub had fallen off of the ball. I ordered a full control arm kit, but it happened on a weekend and the parts wouldn't arrive until Tuesday or Wednesday. So, I popped the socket back over the ball and wrapped it to the hub with 3 giant zipties. Believe it or not, those zipties held my suspension together without issue until the new parts came in.

Saints Rabbit....
Recently my California white rabbit died (Thumper). He was a great pet with free roam of the house and yard. He lived for 10 years.
My wife is heart broken. There is a rabbit named "Brees" available on the internet. Question: Do I get him? Pic of Brees below. He's a dead ringer (no pun intended) for Thumper. http://d1ihe8iurr5ss7.cloudfront.net...5m10152801.jpg http://www.magichappensrescue.com/bunniesavailable.html |
We had something similar a few years ago.... I named our second rabbit Deuce. :-)
Get that rabbit son!
Handle it!
Damn... she's already filling out the adoption papers.
you better chew proof all your cords and wires, drape the upholstery with hard resins, and prepare for the worst smelling urine.
and for the rabbit.... |
I'm screwed. |
Get that rabbit and some black and Gold dye....
What gator said!!!! I saw a big dog at the Arkansas game with tiger stripes spray painted. It was awesome!
Get her the rabbit. You know what they say, "If mama ain't happy..."

From the Back of the Crowd in Madison
The crowd was noticeably bigger than last year's; it was dense almost all the way to the edges of the sidewalks, whereas last year, that density was 10 yards further in. Smart capitalist vendors were on the other side of the street selling food and drinks.
There were also 125 Feingold supporters (I counted them) who were across the street holding signs. Four young women marched through the crowd with signs telling me they were abortion supporters, while a box-truck drove around the Square with a very large picture of an aborted baby.
Immediately behind the baby-picture (which was gruesome) was Scot's "One Wisconsin Now" truck--a larger box truck with a VERY complicated flowchart telling us that "we are our brother's keeper." Uh-huh. Suddenly, Scot is a committed Christian, eh?
Three Socialists were handing out literature. Nice kids, but confused. There were Walker, Neumann, and Wall people pushing literature and stickers by the carload.
Saw Rep. Jim Ott (R) and asked him if the day's temperature might not be a sign of the Apocalypse or something; he didn't think so (thank God.)
Tommy was charged up, and the crowd was reasonably receptive (contrary to my expectations.) No new ground was broken in the speechifying. There were a LOT more press trucks around the square than last year, and a more visible Capitol and Madison cop-shop presence, too.
Despite the best efforts of AFT and the College Republicans who assisted, there was a bit of a logjam getting people out of the Square and back to the busses at the airport. Oh, well. We found all our folks and got back in one piece.
And, of course, there was the "small world" occurrence. Spoke at length with a fellow about a number of things before we introduced ourselves; turns out that our families had been friendly quite a few years ago and, of course, he knew a lot of the people I did from 'back when.' He's seen the ---let's face facts---industrial depression in Wisconsin over the last several months, too.
Altogether, a very nicely packaged event with a lot of highly motivated people. The crowd skewed 'old,' but not VERY old; there were plenty of people who were under 40 years of age, and a lot who were in their 20s. Good to see that.

I was disappointed in the reception Tommy got, but was pleased it wasn't a campaign stop. 125 Feinie supporters? Seemed like fewer. Many fewer by the end of the party.
I wonder what the carbon footprint for the OWN truck was.
Opposition was pretty weak. - 4/15/2010 8:41 PM

Everyone bitched and moaned about Tommy and I never disagreed. However, it dawned on me about why he MIGHT have attended.
What if he was simply helping out the TEA party? What if he really want to amp the news coverage and press before (and during) the event? One can easily make the case that the add'l news vans and buzz prior to the event were due to his speech.
I'm not saying the guy doesn't love the lime-light and attention; I'm just thinking there might have been some other positive motives. - 4/15/2010 11:23 PM

Apologies for the poor grammar - I should really proof before hitting publish...

Gee dad, and I thought you were a Liberal.
- Badger Catholic said...
Hmm, great point NCT
Sounds like the pity party exceeded all expectations.
- Russell said...
Dad, you really should learn how to count some day. Attendance was a lot lower this year than last, and I can prove it:
Althouse has an even lower estimate of the crowd size than I do, so if you don't like my numbers you'll have to take her on as well. Good luck with that... - 4/16/2010 8:46 PM

didn't work.My Picture model had a field named hidden and I tried to hide some entries using the following code:
$this->Picture->id = $id;
$this->Picture->saveField('hidden', 1);
But it didn't work! I spent almost an hour checking and rewriting my code, reading documentation, googling for similar problems, then checking my code again, etc. The issue occurred very simple and worth a facepalm.
The solution
The thing is that the Picture model had a
method implemented. I created it for regular updates, such as when creating or editing the whole entry, and it contained some additional validation and processing (filename checks, thumbnail generation, etc.) I didn't realize it's also called before saveField()
.So yeah, if
doesn't do what it's supposed to, make sure that this issue is not caused by the side effects of beforeSave()

The Russian Orthodox Church has demolished a chapel where a priest conducted a marriage ceremony between two men.
The Chapel of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God was apparently knocked down after local churchmen decided it had been defiled.
The "marriage" of Denis Gogolyev and Mikhail Morozev in Nizhny Novgorod scandalised the Orthodox Church and created outrage among ordinary Russians. The priest, Fr Vladimir Enert, was unfrocked after the men said they paid him a $800 bribe to ignore a ban on same-sex marriages.
A spokesman for the Orthodox Church said the chapel had to go as it had been desecrated. Some local officials said it was due for demolition to make way for new, larger church, although this would not open until 2005.
A spokesman for the Nizhny Novgorod Patriarchate said: "The chapel was dismantled because it is no longer needed." But he admitted that the "marriage" may have "sped up the process".

Sunday Afternoon Video - Coventry Carol
The Coventry Carol is a sixteenth century carol beloved by many. This one is sung by Loreena McKennitt on her A Midwinter Night's Dream album. For many this Sunday and next are the two Sundays where we sing Christmas carols for the church year.
Share with us the hymns you sung or heard this day at worship. Are you hearing Christmas music anywhere else right now in your world other than in church?

One of my daughters preached today and referenced Richard Shindell's song, Before You Go. It's on a CD called Wonderland that was put out to benefit Western Mass. foodbanks. Wonderful. We sang Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, What Child is This? and Angels from the Realms of Glory. My other daughter sang a solo of In the Bleak Midwinter, the Holst version. Beautiful! If I do say so myself, and I can't really take much credit for their accomplishments. I have a new Christmas CD, Comfort and Joy Vol. II by Cantus, a great men's chorus, that I'm certainly not done listening to yet! When I get back to Maine on Jan 6, I'll move on to my Epiphany playlist.
ReplyDeleteToday was Christmas Lessons & Carols from the Book of Occasional Services. We used several well known carols, but I slipped in the Huron Carol (1982 Episcopal Hymnal 114), to which my oldest daughter introduced me a few years ago.
I always get the chills when I hear the Coventry Carol - it's so haunting!

After updating to the most recent OS on my Torch 9810, I am now unable to scroll from message to message in my email. I have to hit the back button and open anew. It is behaving (only in email) as my Curve (which doesn't have a touch screen) does.
Is there a problem with the touch screen for email in the new release? Is there a way to fix by changing the sensitivity? Or the "hover" (whatever that means)?
I have not identified any touch screen issues in any other application and can scroll in things like calendar and on my main screen by just flicking my thumb.

Super clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a little lacking, but it was included and I did find options to eat.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean. The Inn is close to all major attractions . This was the second time I've stayed at the Sandia Peak Inn and would recommend it to anyone . I was very satisfied with my stay.
The best part of the hotel is the management, and their attention to detail and caring about their customers. Hotel is very well kept up and they knew how to take care of customers and that this starts with cleanliness. Was often asked and quite sincerely if all was in order and any way anything could be improved. Would highly recommend and also value for the money.
The location is convenient and easy to find, staff very friendly, room was clean and comfortable. We will return!
Large rooms, comfortable beds, helpful and friendly staff Love the hot tub !!!

Aumann: Short-lived Convertible Division left indelible mark
July 24, 2011, Mark Aumann, NASCAR.com
The debate about the significance of Kyle Busch's 100th NASCAR victory last weekend brought to mind NASCAR's short-lived Convertible Division, the introduction of qualifying races for the Daytona 500, Richard Petty's first win, and another North Carolina driver named Bob Welborn, who won three titles. By the mid-1950s, NASCAR was successfully running its Grand National, Modified and Sportsman divisions on both sides of the country. But Bill France continued to look at expansion, particularly in the Midwest, and he found it in a series called the Circuit of Champions All Stars, an all-convertible car division. After hosting one race at North Carolina's Bowman-Gray Stadium in 1955, France purchased the entire series from Midwestern promoter H.E. Redkey in December. France's plan was to run NASCAR-sanctioned convertible races as a companion division to the hardtop Grand Nationals. It was a smashing success from the start. Fans were fascinated by the idea of being able to see the driver working the steering wheel inside the car, and the Convertible races began to draw attendance -- and fields -- equal to that of the Grand National events the following day. The top factory teams of the day entered cars for their best drivers, and the list of Convertible race winners included stars like Curtis Turner, Joe Weatherly, Glen Wood, Fireball Roberts, Lee Petty, Marvin Panch, Tim Flock, Paul Goldsmith and a scrawny 22-year-old kid named Richard Petty, who bested a field of 29 at Columbia Speedway in July of 1959 for the first of what would turn out to be a total of 201 NASCAR wins. The new series debuted on the Daytona Beach and Road course in February of 1956, with Curtis Turner leading 34 of 39 laps in one of Pete DePaolo's factory Fords after pole-sitter and teammate Joe Weatherly broke a water pump. Fans would get used to seeing Turner's name at the top of the leaderboard all season, as he went on to win 22 of the 47 races. But it was Welborn, a native of Denton, N.C., who took home the championship trophy in each of the first three seasons, thanks to his remarkable consistency. Welborn won nine Cup races in a 13-year period, but his forte turned out to be the ragtops. In 111 starts in NASCAR's Convertible Division, Welborn drove his Chevrolets to 19 wins and 87 top-10s. While Turner was piling up the victories in '56, he also failed to finish 14 times. Welborn only won three times all season -- at Fayetteville, Hickory and Greensboro -- but he amassed 32 top-five and 39 top-10 finishes, good enough to beat Turner by 836 points. Darlington Raceway got in on the convertible craze in 1957 with plans to host a 300-mile Convertible race in the spring to compliment the Labor Day Southern 500. Fireball Roberts won the inaugural Rebel 300 in front of 17,000 fans, leading 181 of the 219 laps and lapping the field twice. While Turner nearly doubled Welborn's win total that season, scoring 11 victories to Welborn's six, Welborn only finished outside of the top 10 seven times in 36 starts. Welborn's closest competition instead turned out to be Weatherly, who won four of the first nine races and had a solid lead in the points until he blew an engine at Martinsville and finished 27th. Weatherly still had a chance to catch Welborn with five races remaining, but consecutive DNFs at Charlotte, North Wilkesboro and Norfolk wrecked any hopes of unseating Welborn. But with the pullout of factory support midway through the 1957 season, the Convertible Division was the hardest hit. The schedule was pared from 36 to 19 races and fewer teams had the money to run both series. Still, Welborn added eight more wins and a third Convertible title to his resume, earning him a chance to run as teammate to Lee Petty in 18 Cup races, of which he won four. Imagine including the Nationwide Series in the Daytona 500. That's about what France did when the brand-new Daytona International Speedway opened in February of 1959. France included both hardtops and convertibles in the inaugural Daytona 500 field. In order to set the lineup, France decided to hold a pair of qualifying races -- one for each class -- and Welborn earned the pole by winning the Convertible sprint race. Since then, the Daytona 500 field has always been set by a pair of qualifying races. Welborn's championship streak was snapped at three by Joe Lee Johnson in 1959, the final season for the Convertible Division. Ned Jarrett won the final points race, on the half-mile dirt track at the Charlotte Fairgrounds, as only 15 races were held. However, that wasn't the end of convertible racing in NASCAR. Darlington's Rebel 300 was a convertible-only Cup points race until 1962, with Weatherly, Fred Lorenzen and Nelson Stacy winning the final three events. The race was switched to hardtops beginning in 1963, eventually expanded and is now run as the Saturday night Southern 500, usually on Mother's Day weekend. Welborn, who made his final Cup start in 1964, was inducted into the National Motorsports Press Association's Hall of Fame in 1982. He died in 1997, one year before NASCAR listed him as one of its 50 greatest drivers in 1998. The opinions expressed are solely those of the writer.Convertible Division

Compost tumblers spare the gardener one of the most arduous tasks in composting - 'turning' the compost pile. This is usually done with a pitchfork in open compost bins and compost piles where there is room to wield the tool. Turning the pile is done to speed up the composting process by providing aeration and by mixing the hot composting material with materials recently added, as this introduces microbial activity to help break down the fresh materials. | |||||||||
What is a compost tumbler | |||||||||
A compost tumbler is a fully sealed container which can be rotated to mix the composting materials. The sealed container also helps contain the heat generated by the composting process, thereby speeding the process of converting kitchen and yard waste into compost. Compost tumblers were invented to make composting simpler and faster.
Compost tumblers are not the same as compost bins. Compost bins are designed to be set on the ground, and most compost bins have open bottoms. While compost bins are the least expensive kind of composter, they have several disadvantages: it is difficult to get a pitchfork inside to turn the compost, heat is easily dissipated which slows the composting process, and rodents can easily burrow under the sides to gain access to the composting materials. |
Benefits and limitations of compost tumblers | |||||||||
Benefits: • speeds up the composting process - you can convert waste to finished compost in as little as 3 weeks in a sealed compost tumbler, under ideal conditions. Outdoor temperature, time of year, and the correct balance of carbon and nitrogen matter are factors which influence the speed of composting. In colder, wet climates,, it will take considerably longer than 3 weeks to complete the composting process. • keeps rodents, raccoons, pets out of compost • eliminates composting odors • tidy, attractive, suitable for urban and suburban residential properties Limitations: • more expensive than compost bins - tumbler-style composters are usually built of thicker materials to hold wet, heavy composting materials. This is not an issue with bin-style composters because the bins are open-bottomed and do not need to support any weight. Tumbler-style composters also have support legs or bases with rollers which make them more expensive to manufacture. • over 9.5 cu ft capacity units can be hard to turn - most tumbler-style composters are designed for capacities of 9.5 cubic feet or less. This is because a bigger drum is harder to spin when it's full. Larger capacity spinning composters are available, however, which utilize a mechanical aid for turning the drum. The AutoFlow 400, for example, uses a rod and gear system to turn a drum with a large 15 cu ft capacity. |
Different models of compost tumblers: comparisons, pros & cons | |||||||||
With the popularity of gardening and the trend in home vegetable gardening, new designs are available with various features to improve the composting process and experience. Here is a review of the basic designs. | |||||||||
Sealed drum compost tumblers: | |||||||||
Pros: simple design, fewer parts Cons: slower to compost than aerated models |
The basic compost tumbler is a drum or barrel which is either mounted on a raised axle for spinning, or set on a base with rollers which facilitate spinning. The drum must include some feature which will 'flip' the composting materials as the drum turns. Without this, the materials would simply slosh from side to side without actually turning and mixing, even as the drum rotates. These models usually have indented slots which provide a hand-hold for turning, and on the inside of the drum these appear as raised ridges which flip the materials as the drum turns. Models which are set on a base with rollers have the advantage of being able to roll the drum off the base, so the drum can be rolled to wherever you want to empty the compost. In some models, the base also serves as a 'compost tea' maker, by collecting liquid drain-off from composting materials. The tea can be used as a liquid or spray fertilizer. Models which are raised enable the gardener to place a wheelbarrow or bucket directly under the drum so that finished compost is easily transferred for moving to the garden beds. |
'Aerated' drum compost tumblers: | |||||||||
Examples: UCT9, EZ Compost Wizard Pros: aeration speeds the composting process Cons: aerating spikes or core can reduce access for larger clippings |
'Aerated' composters are designed to deliver air directly into the composting materials. This has the advantage of speeding the composting process, which enables gardeners to cycle more batches through their composter. It also enables you to get by with a smaller composter since the through-put is faster. Different models have different designs for providing enhanced aeration. | |||||||||
The UCT9, pictured above and right, uses a central core which draws air from below the drum and distributes it through the interior. The core also serves as a paddle, to help break up the materials as the drum is rotated. Other models use hollow 'spikes' radiating inward to provide central aeration. These spikes also break up the materials as the drum spins. Larger clippings may get stuck between spikes. For this type of composter, be sure to chop up any long clippings or plant skeletons before adding them to the drum. |
Dual-bin compost tumblers: | |||||||||
Examples: Jora JK 125, JK 270 Pros: speeds composting process; easy to access finished compost Cons: more expensive than single bin models |
The dual bin design takes a different approach to the continuous-use composter concept, Two bins are set side-by-side into a single rotating drum. Although each bin is a little smaller than other model composters, the thickly insulated compartments conserve the heat generating by the decaying matter, and this greatly speeds the process. The sides have screened openings which provide aeration to each chamber. | |||||||||
Older models of dual-bin compost tumblers had a single door covering both chambers. Newer models have separate doors for each chamber. This is an improvement because you can rotate the drum directly over a wheelbarrow or bucket, and tip the finished compost in. The quality of the door hinges is important in this design. One brand (which we do not sell) has cheap hinges which compromises the functionality. Some larger models of dual-chamber composter tumblers have a gear-driven crank handle to facilitate turning the drum. |
Compost tumbler tips and FAQs | |||||||||
Here below are the most commonly asked questions regarding compost tumblers and some tips from our experience: | |||||||||
How big a composter should I buy? The 7.5 cubic foot models are practical for a family of four. If your family is larger, or if you have a small garden or yard, then the 9.5 cu ft model will be more suitable. For large families, schools, restaurants or people with vegetable gardens or big lawns, the larger models such as the 12 cubic foot EZ Compost Wizard ( a tumbler) or the 15 cubic foot Aerobin ( a standing bin) are appropriate. Some composters are vertically mounted on the axle, while other are horizontally mounted. Which is better? The axis is the center of spin, and composters which have the materials closer to the center axis (horizontally mounted) are easier to spin. However, composters which have the materials further from the central axis (like the UCT9 or the Tumbleweed) may be harder to spin when full, but the contents are better mixed when the drum is rotated. Both designs work, it is up to user preference. Should I set my composter in the direct sunlight? It seems logical that by locating your composter in direct sunlight, the materials inside will be warmer and this will speed the composting process. However, this is not necessarily the best advice. If your composter is made of plastic, even thick-walled heavy duty composters such as the UCT9, we recommend locating it in shade or partial sunlight. This is because the hot sun can distort the plastic to where the lid may not screw on easily, if at all. Also, some people have noted that the color of the plastic may become faded or blotchy after prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If you are using your composter properly, with a fairly balanced mix of carbon and nitrogen, the sealed unit will generate enough heat for effective composting. How often should I spin my compost tumbler? About three or four spins a week is adequate. We give our tumbler a spin or two each time we take our kitchen compost keeper out to be emptied in the composter. This is usually about twice a week. My compost tumbler is too heavy to spin. Be sure to set your composter on level, solid ground. Blocks or patio stones may be used if necessary. The tumbler will spin easier when the axis is horizontal and the weight is evenly distributed. Older gardeners, and people with limited strength may find turning a full composter difficult. In these cases, we suggest only filling the composter 2/3 and then letting the batch finish. Should I add water to my compost? In most cases, no. Compost should be moist but not wet. There is usually enough moisture in kitchen scraps and yard clippings, and adding water may cool and slow the composting process. Although some gardeners may want to get compost 'tea' to use as a liquid fertilizer, adding water may not be the best choice. See our comments below regarding compost tea. If you live in a vey dry environment, adding some water may be helpful, but take care to add only enough water to moisten the contents. My compost is a wet, soggy mess and doesn't seem to be composting. This is a very common condition, especially during winter in colder regions of the country. The secret to a healthy compost pile is to maintain a working balance between carbon-rich and nitrogen-rich materials. (See our Composting page for more information.) In winter, we keep adding food scraps and other moist nitrogen-rich materials, but dry leaves and other dry materials are not as readily available. Mixing in dry carbon-rich materials will help restore a wet compost pile. To learn more, read our article How to fix a soggy compost pile. How can I add fresh materials when waiting for a batch to finish. Once your composter is as full as you want it to be, i.e. full to the point where it is still easy to spin, you will want to stop adding fresh materials until the current batch is done and the finished compost can be emptied. This may a period of two to three weeks. During this time, fresh materials for the compost can be stored in a garbage can or similar container. This is not an issue with dual-bin or cantinuous composters. Do I need to use a compost starter? Compost starters are helpful to kick-start the process, but they are not necessary. Leave a little bit of finished or semi-finished compost in the bin as a "starter" for the next load. You can also add some garden soil into the composter to start the process going. Some composters have a base which collects 'compost tea'. Is this useful? Liquid drippings from the composting materials can be collected and used as a fertilizer, and some tumbler models have incorporated a feature to collect this 'tea'. However, since the tea basin is at the bottom, close to the ground, it can be difficult to get a bucket under the spigot. These models need to be blocked up higher, or have a short hose attached to the spigot. Another way to collect compost tea is to simply shovel some compost into a bucket and fill with water, then cover and let sit for a few days. |
Where to find compost tumblers | |||||||||
The best place to buy compost tumblers is online. This is because local stores which may sell compost tumblers can only afford to keep one or two models in stock. And staff at these stores may have limited or no experience with composting, and therefore unable to give you advice. Online sources, such as Eartheasy, carry a wide range of compost tumblers. Also, because we have actual experience using these composters, we only stock models which will give good results for the consumer. Our family has been composting for over 30 years, and we have tried everything from open piles, to compost bins, compost tumblers, large bins such as the Aerobin, and very large 'farm-style' compost pens. The cost of shipping is a factor in buying online, and this is partly offset by no taxes added to the purchase. Some composters are offered with free shipping, which is ideal if you are in the market for a new composter. |

Every year, as the appeal might go, certain words are placed at risk of being made extinct by the publishing powers that be.
Conducted by those deadly editors of the Collins Dictionary, the annual words review is a measure unafraid to scythe the list it surveys, replacing vernacular which has fallen out of use with shinier, more popular additions to our language.
The show is particularly resonant to Plymouth as it includes the institution's Lizzie Ridout, a Graphic Communication lecturer who has jointly co-ordinated a one-day symposium accompanying the project. All those dictionary decommissionings may not have been in vain.
- Open Monday-Friday 10am-5pm (Saturday 11am-4pm). Admission free. Symposium runs April 5 2011, visit www.message-research.org for details.

The defender.com site does not list the length of the spool. But then, neither does the manufacturer, Sampson. Go figure.
I did a bit more googling and found what I suspect is the same thing, the spool length is 180', and the price is significantly less than any other listing I've seen for this stuff.
I've not seen this stuff yet, but will next week <grin>
[LATER] - guess not. These folks are essentially wholesalers. They got back to me and offered to sell me a case (of 12) of these spools. I'm not that interested in it!

Then go with the 600' spool. The stuff is great. I bought a 600' spool from APS when they had their annual sal and paid approx. $100 w/shipping and thought that price was great.
The link you gave has the 600' spool for $71, add shipping and that is a great price. With 600' it will be at least 1 year before I would have to buy another spool - yes I use a LOT of guy line for all kinds of uses.
The reflective Campmor stuff holds knots really well. I think Triptease slides around in its sheath too much. The Speer No-tangle is also good stuff, holds knots well and lives up to its name. Gossamer Gear sells some good orange cord very similar to it. The stuff the Jacks use in their guylines is pretty good, too.
I mixed a batch of silicone and mineral spirits to use for making ripstop into sil (search for posts on make your own sil, last page or so). I dropped 20 or so feet of Mason's line into the left over, let it soak a little bit, then dry. Why? to see if it made it "stiffer", it did, to see if it prevents fraying, it does, to see if it makes knots too slippery to be useful, it does not. Would I go out and mix a batch of sil just for this? Probably not, but I do have 20' to play with and use.

Richard Galliano
Michel Bonin from Vancouver will attend this concert:
One of a record number of jazz musicians from France, more than I recall programmed at any previous editions of the FIJM, but I could be wrong Monsieur Ménard! Galliano is your chance to hear the next best thing if you missed the last Piazzolla's performance at the FIJM ages ago. This may be the closest anyone comes to emulate the Argentinian master of the tango and the 3/4 time rhythm. Piazzola, the genius innovator, already reconciled all by himself the somehow low-brow accordion with the 20th century by allowing it to blend the jazz, classical and pop idioms. Whereas Galliano, the multi instrumentalist, carries a lot of music history by stretching 'la relève' right into the 21th century. Another typically 'bleu' representation of what France has best contributed to contemporary jazz and western popular music in general, Galliano has already achieved what eluded Piazzolla, a recognition by being listed in the most reputable bibles of the jazz world.

While traveling through the Mongolian countryside, our driver plowed off-road towards a nomad camp. I realize that this is an investment website, but sometimes I see something so unique that I feel emboldened to mention it. Like everything in Mongolia, this was a delightful experience. Though separated by customs, I have to say that I felt a certain camaraderie with the family in the Ger.
A nomad is constantly uprooting and searching for the best opportunities. The family we met with will stay put a few weeks, then pack up their gear, round up their livestock and move on to new and greener pastures—literally. They have to keep moving in order to ensure that they do not overgraze the land. Good forage means healthy animals.
I've always joked that I am a nomadic hedgie. I am constantly seeking out the greenest pastures for my investment dollars. I'm always packing up my gear in one hotel room and moving on to the next opportunity. I realize that the analogy is a bit forced, but stay with it a bit. I've been on the road for three weeks and the impossible now seems eminently plausible.
I'd trade my view of Miami's harbor for their view any day.
Entering the ger.
I was amazed how spacious it was once inside.
Everything is about practicality. There is ventilation and lighting from above. Sturdy construction unlike the typical tent--yet it can be broken down almost as fast as a large tent. There's beds, a stove, tables and extra insulation. Notice the artwork on all the wood surfaces.
Photo By Isaac Schwartz
I was stunned by everyone's hospitality. Though they didn't have much, they were very willing to share with us. I learned later that this is just the Mongolian way. Here's the Hobson's choice: fermented mare's milk or unpasteurized cheese curds. Both had been sitting out for a few weeks ripening. When in Rome....right? The mare's milk (from a horse in case it wasn't clear), tasted like spoiled milk, with a hint of vodka. Who would have thought that the sugars in milk will eventually turn into alcohol. The cheese curds were sort of tasteless. Just in case unpasteurized product didn't agree with us, we thoroughly washed it down with moonshine vodka made by distilling the fermented mare's milk.
After a few bowls of vodka, they were curious if Praetorian Capital analyst Aaron Bubley could stay on the horse--so far so good...
That's where the vodka comes from.... I didn't believe it until I saw it.
After an hour, we headed back to the car to go see yet another former Soviet facility. The family immediately got back to chores. Living on the steppe involves constant work.
So what are the economics of being a nomad? The returns on capital are surprisingly good. Self sufficiency is always good. Unlike most American families, my nomad hosts have positive equity in their ger. For income, they sell milk, chese and meat. They use an old car battery to charge up a cell phone that they use to tell traders where they are. It's an amazingly efficient system. For this system to work, you need excellent cell phone service. Why do I get all 5 bars anywhere in Mongolia yet am lucky to get one bar when in Manhattan? Charming people living in a charming valley. I wish I could have stayed longer, but my nomadic life leads towards a cashmere plant.

The "Now Card" provides payment for medical services and prescriptions immediately rather than paying out-of-pocket, submitting a claim and waiting for reimbursement. This is especially true for high dollar claims that can put a strain on personal finances. It is important to retain documentation for all purchases.
Documentation of charges is required by the IRS and if a review indicates an unusual co-pay or if a service is in question, AFLAC is compelled by the IRS to request documentation to remain in compliance. AFLAC will send a notice every 2 weeks for up to two months until they receive the documentation from the insured. Failure to submit documentation to AFLAC when requested may result in suspension of the insured's AFLAC "Now Card." Keep in mind that use of the AFLAC "Now Card" is not required. Claims may be submitted via fax or mail at any time.

From the President
Join us in sharing why public media is important
With recently released Trump Administration Budget proposal that calls for the defunding of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, many have asked me if the future of federal funding for public broadcasting is being called into question. The answer may very well be "yes" and that's why having a strong, diverse base of grassroots advocates is essential.
WXXI recently attended the Public Media Summit in Washington, DC, where we joined other PBS stations across the country to advocate on behalf of public media, reminding policymakers that federal funding (14% of our budget) helps make possible our missions in education, public affairs and civic leadership and makes our vital programming and services available to everyone, everywhere, every day, for free.
You can participate in this effort, too, by sharing why public media is important to you. Visit Protect My Public Media's website at: protectmypublicmedia.org and submit your own testimonial!

Mixing Bowl: So Long Food Pyramid, Israeli Recipes, and a Kosher Eataly?
Serious Eat's Cook the Book column this week shares some recipes from one of our favorite cookbook's, Janna Gur's "The Book of New Israeli Food." Check out the recipes for flakey cheese bourekas and authentic hummus.
Remember that food pyramid from elementary school? Well, it's no more. The USDA has announced that it will replace the pyramid with MyPlate, which shows the portions of protein, fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy each meal should contain. Now, let the debate start! Check out what the Atlantic, Eatocracy, Food Politics and the Washington Post have to say. Let us know what you think of the redesign in the comments.
If you're interested in the history of what the government has encouraged Americans to eat, check out a new exhibit at the National Archives in Washington called "What's Cooking, Uncle Sam?" The New York Times gives us a preview.
Mario Batali and Lidia Bastianich's Italian food monument/ fine food shop Eataly, has been dominating much of the food press so far this year. According to the New York Post and Eater the kosher community may be getting its own shiny version of Eataly, dedicated to fine baked goods, meats, sauces and even frozen foods, courtesy of Prime Hospitality Group.
It's preserve time once again — strawberry, rhubarb, boysenberry! Here's a great recipe for rhubarb preserves from 1876 and some direction from Food 52.

A man who claimed his infant son was left brain-damaged after surgery at Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles has lost a $19-million lawsuit.
A Los Angeles jury ruled in favor of the hospital and two doctors.
Eduardo Rivas of Tujunga claimed he never gave permission for doctors to operate on his 6-month-old son Nathan in 2007 to repair a double hernia.
Rivas claimed a bad reaction to anesthesia left his son, who's now nearly 3, with a baby's mental capacity.
The hospital argued that Rivas gave permission by phone. The hospital attributed the boy's problems to his being born four months premature.
Rivas's attorney, Nathaniel Friedman, says the boy's care has cost more than $900,000 but it's covered by Medi-Cal.

Submit jsp form data to java
I have a jsp form that required user to input multiple name and email.
Then the form will be submitted to a servlet.
I manage to get the form data using request.getParameter() one by one.
But this seems troublesome.
Anyway i can do it easily as my form is consisting of multiple data rows that have name and email? I heard about using java bean, but not very sure how to use it.
Can show me some simple example?
Thank you.

No you don't. You have an HTML form that is submitted to the server.
A JSP is purely server side and, in fact, ceases to exist once it's been interpreted into a servlet by Tomcat.
I am on a crusade against this misuse!
Use a framework like Struts or Spring that has already written the code to do this for you.
Or, if that's not possible for whatever reason, show us the code you currently have and we might be able to point out ways to tidy it up.

Tolls, sorry for my wrong word. Yes, it is a html page after all at client side.

I think both Spring and Struts have pretty good documentation for doing this sort of thing.
There's a bunch of upfront configuration with either of them, so you'd do better to work through their examples.
Struts might be the slightly easier one to read through. There's a primer, then the main docs. There's also a basic PDF somewhere...

U.S. supplies of long grain rice have been contaminated with a genetically modified variety not approved for human consumption, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said late Friday. The secretary said he learned about the contamination from the company that engineered the rice, Bayer CropScience, and could say nothing about how the contamination arose."The U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Food and Drug Administration have been notified by Bayer CropScience that the company has detected trace amounts of regulated genetically engineered rice in samples taken from commercial long grain rice," Johanns told reporters. "Both have reviewed the available scientific data and concluded that there are no human health, food safety, or environmental concerns associated with this GE rice."The rice variety, called LLRICE 601, is engineered with DNA that makes the plants resistant to an herbicide manufactured by the agricultural corporation Aventis.Bayer has developed many genetically engineered herbicide-tolerant products with the protein called Liberty Link, three of which are rice, Johanns explained.Two deregulated lines, LLRICE 62 and LLRICE 06, have been through thorough safety evaluations and have been deemed safe for use in food and safe in the environment, although these lines have not been commercialized, Johanns said."Based on the available data and information, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has concluded that the presence of LLRICE 601 in the food and feed supply poses no safety concerns. USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) also conducted a risk assessment, which indicates LLRICE 601 is safe in the environment.Bayer officials said the company is "cooperating closely" with federal agencies. Officials said the company had no plans to market LLRICE 601 and therefore had not requested deregulation. Based on reports that LLRICE 601 is in the marketplace and a petition from Bayer, APHIS will conduct a deregulation process, including an opportunity for public comment."Because the line of GE rice in question was regulated, APHIS is conducting an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the release and whether any violations of USDA regulations occurred," Johanns said."The protein found in LLRICE 601 is approved for use in other products. It has been repeatedly and thoroughly scientifically reviewed and used safely in food and feed, cultivation, import and breeding in the United States, as well as nearly a dozen other countries around the world," Johanns said.The secretary admitted that the discovery of genetic contamination could impact rice exports, worth nearly $1 billion a year. Many U.S. trading partners have policies forbidding import of some genetically engineered foods, whether or not they are approved by the United States.Since 1987, APHIS has deregulated more than 70 GE crop lines and in the last decade U.S. farmers have planted biotech varieties engineered mainly for herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, and enhanced quality traits.Gregory Jaffe, biotechnology director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer group in Washington, says this incident is "another example of how this biotechnology industry continues to act irresponsibly."In Europe, Bayer has applied for the import of a similar GM rice called LL62 meant for human consumption. The German Coalition against Bayer Dangers, which has been monitoring the company for 25 years, is urging the European Food Safety Authority not to approve LL62. The coalition warns that approval of this modified rice would pose unknown risks for human health and the environment.s Coalition spokesman Philipp Mimkes said, "We call for the stringent application of the precautionary principle with regard to GM rice. The incident in the U.S. shows that risks linked with modified crops can't be controlled in the long term."

Art is subjective, but we think we can objectively say that Massachusetts has the best art in the entire solar system. After all, it's home to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, one of the world's most impressive collections of fine art; Mass MoCA, the country's most fertile site for large scale new art; and the "small but big" Worcester Art and Fitchburg Art Museums. Plus, there's a whole museum of bad art, and one that's free if your name is Isabella. Wake up your soul at the Jacob's Pillow dance festival, catch yourself clapping inappropriately loud for the world famous Boston Symphony Orchestra or banging your head (in a good way) in the birthplace of hardcore punk. And don't leave without experiencing some drama (also in a good way) at one of our amazing theaters, from The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in The Berkshires to Worcester's majestic Hanover Theatre to Boston's storied theater district. You can also visit the Massachusetts Cultural Council website for more information on the arts in Massachusetts.
