Fine sediment deposition Rio Ramis, Peru (river geomorphology)
Deposition of fine sediments occurs in the lower reaches of rivers. Here, fine sediments have deposited in the lower reaches of the Rio Ramis (Peru), about 30 km from Lake Titicaca. The stark landscape is due to high altitude (> 12,800 ft; 3900 m) and overgrazing.

With steam selling the ultimate collection, I don't see why anyone interested in the game wouldn't want to start now. I'm new as well, I'm only level 13 (red mage). I'm on Gilgamesh with a few RL friends, and would like someone to level with, since they are all mostly high levels.
Hit me up in-game if you start =)

St. Isidore's 8th gr. Men Basketball -CYO TRI-VALLEY CHAMPIONS
Original post made by R2K4, Danville, on Mar 12, 2010
On Sunday, February 28th the St. Isidore's 8th grade Men's "American" team came back from an 8 point deficit with 2 minutes left to win the TRI-VALLEY CYO championship game 31-30. The win was over St. Joan of Arc. The game was close until the end of the 3rd period, when St. Joan's pulled away. But with both outstanding offense and defense St. Isidore staged a most exciting comeback. The comeback was headed by Trevor John who scored 6 of the last 10 points of the game. Outstanding defense was played by Brandon Lim, Rishi Satoor, Kaelib Thomas and Shay Kapulica. ALL players PLAYED hard and agressively, each played an instrumental role in helping their team win the championship.
The teams overall regular season record was 9-1, play offs 2-0; they also were also division champions of the "Michael Enea Holiday Tournament and Queen of All Saints Tournament."
Players from left to right:
Rishi Satoor, Justin Hill, John Mackey, Trevor John, Kaelib J.T. Thomas, Shay Kapulica, Brandon Lim, Michael Musselman, Cody Dalton, Brendan Pedley. Coach: Dave Goldman Assistant Coach: Duke Dalton(not pictured)

Hurricane Sandy
As many of you might now, there has been a lot of destruction here in my area. The hurricane left a lot of damage along the Jersey Shore and along the coastal areas of NY. A lot of people are still without electricity and many are still out of their homes. Luckily where I am we have power, running water, and have barely felt the effects though taking a quick walk around my neighborhood I found lots of downed trees on top of cars and houses. The parks are closed and gasoline has completely ran out at most gas stations. Schools have been closed all week and serving as shelters - they are due to reopen on Monday.
Thank goodness we are all ok.

I am very disappointed they canceled the marathon. I thought that considering how much money it raises for numerous charities that it wouldn't be a negative thing. Not many NYorkers shared my sentiments though. Mayor Bloomberg announced at 4pm on Friday that the marathon was "of course going to be held." Only a couple of hours later the announcement came that it was cancelled. They should have canceled it earlier in the week... instead they waited until friday night, when most of the runners had flown in from all parts of the world to compete.

Herd size and production have soared; farm numbers have plummeted.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
Change is one of the great constants in U.S. dairy farming.
The industry has been evolving for most of a century, but especially in the last 20 years. Like an ice skater who draws in their arms while spinning, the speed has increased as it becomes smaller and smaller.
Dairy farms have shrunk drastically during this period. In 1992 the total number of licensed dairies in the U.S. was 131,535. In 2012 it was 49,331 - a 62 percent decrease in just one generation.
Those that remain have only a basic resemblance to what they once were. For instance, in 1992 average U.S. herd size was 75 cows. In 2012 it was 187 - a 149 percent gain. Meanwhile, average production per cow has risen from 15,415 pounds per year to 21,697 pounds - a 41 percent improvement.
More cows making more milk has forced profound change upon dairy farms in ways that may not come to mind right away. For instance, in 1992 the average dairy produced 1.15 million pounds of milk. In 2012 the average was 4.06 million pounds. So what?
So, the average dairy today needs two and one-half times more housing space for milking animals, dry cows, close-ups and fresh cows than it needed in 1992. They also need two and one-half times more room for calves and/or heifers.
Then comes the additional capacity that is needed to milk those additional cows and cool and store that additional milk. And what about extra employees? Two and one-half times more is unlikely, but some additional help is a must - help that is much scarcer than it was 20 years ago.
The most profound change, however, is probably in feeding. Producing three and one-half times more milk per year requires an enormous amount of additional feed, feed storage, feeding time and feeding attention. For those who grow their own feed, it means needing more land to farm, more equipment and more manpower to do the work. For those who buy feed it means being even more at the mercy of milk and feed price volatility.
More change in the future is a certainty; how producers cope with it is the question.

gitcore-tutorial(7) Manual Page
gitcore-tutorial - A git core tutorial for developers
git *
This tutorial explains how to use the "core" git commands to set up and work with a git repository.
If you just need to use git as a revision control system you may prefer to start with "A Tutorial Introduction to GIT" (gittutorial(7)) or the GIT User Manual.
However, an understanding of these low-level tools can be helpful if you want to understand git's internals.
The core git is often called "plumbing", with the prettier user interfaces on top of it called "porcelain". You may not want to use the plumbing directly very often, but it can be good to know what the plumbing does for when the porcelain isn't flushing.
Back when this document was originally written, many porcelain commands were shell scripts. For simplicity, it still uses them as examples to illustrate how plumbing is fit together to form the porcelain commands. The source tree includes some of these scripts in contrib/examples/ for reference. Although these are not implemented as shell scripts anymore, the description of what the plumbing layer commands do is still valid.
|Deeper technical details are often marked as Notes, which you can skip on your first reading.
Creating a git repository
Creating a new git repository couldn't be easier: all git repositories start out empty, and the only thing you need to do is find yourself a subdirectory that you want to use as a working tree - either an empty one for a totally new project, or an existing working tree that you want to import into git.
For our first example, we're going to start a totally new repository from scratch, with no pre-existing files, and we'll call it git-tutorial. To start up, create a subdirectory for it, change into that subdirectory, and initialize the git infrastructure with git init:
$ mkdir git-tutorial $ cd git-tutorial $ git init
to which git will reply
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
which is just git's way of saying that you haven't been doing anything strange, and that it will have created a local .git directory setup for your new project. You will now have a .git directory, and you can inspect that with ls. For your new empty project, it should show you three entries, among other things:
a file called HEAD, that has ref: refs/heads/master in it. This is similar to a symbolic link and points at refs/heads/master relative to the HEAD file.
Don't worry about the fact that the file that the HEAD link points to doesn't even exist yet -- you haven't created the commit that will start your HEAD development branch yet.
a subdirectory called objects, which will contain all the objects of your project. You should never have any real reason to look at the objects directly, but you might want to know that these objects are what contains all the real data in your repository.
a subdirectory called refs, which contains references to objects.
In particular, the refs subdirectory will contain two other subdirectories, named heads and tags respectively. They do exactly what their names imply: they contain references to any number of different heads of development (aka branches), and to any tags that you have created to name specific versions in your repository.
One note: the special master head is the default branch, which is why the .git/HEAD file was created points to it even if it doesn't yet exist. Basically, the HEAD link is supposed to always point to the branch you are working on right now, and you always start out expecting to work on the master branch.
However, this is only a convention, and you can name your branches anything you want, and don't have to ever even have a master branch. A number of the git tools will assume that .git/HEAD is valid, though.
|An object is identified by its 160-bit SHA1 hash, aka object name, and a reference to an object is always the 40-byte hex representation of that SHA1 name. The files in the refs subdirectory are expected to contain these hex references (usually with a final \n at the end), and you should thus expect to see a number of 41-byte files containing these references in these refs subdirectories when you actually start populating your tree.
|An advanced user may want to take a look at gitrepository-layout(5) after finishing this tutorial.
You have now created your first git repository. Of course, since it's empty, that's not very useful, so let's start populating it with data.
Populating a git repository
We'll keep this simple and stupid, so we'll start off with populating a few trivial files just to get a feel for it.
Start off with just creating any random files that you want to maintain in your git repository. We'll start off with a few bad examples, just to get a feel for how this works:
$ echo "Hello World" >hello $ echo "Silly example" >example
you have now created two files in your working tree (aka working directory), but to actually check in your hard work, you will have to go through two steps:
fill in the index file (aka cache) with the information about your working tree state.
commit that index file as an object.
The first step is trivial: when you want to tell git about any changes to your working tree, you use the git update-index program. That program normally just takes a list of filenames you want to update, but to avoid trivial mistakes, it refuses to add new entries to the index (or remove existing ones) unless you explicitly tell it that you're adding a new entry with the --add flag (or removing an entry with the --remove) flag.
So to populate the index with the two files you just created, you can do
$ git update-index --add hello example
and you have now told git to track those two files.
In fact, as you did that, if you now look into your object directory, you'll notice that git will have added two new objects to the object database. If you did exactly the steps above, you should now be able to do
$ ls .git/objects/??/*
and see two files:
.git/objects/55/7db03de997c86a4a028e1ebd3a1ceb225be238 .git/objects/f2/4c74a2e500f5ee1332c86b94199f52b1d1d962
which correspond with the objects with names of 557db... and f24c7... respectively.
If you want to, you can use git cat-file to look at those objects, but you'll have to use the object name, not the filename of the object:
$ git cat-file -t 557db03de997c86a4a028e1ebd3a1ceb225be238
where the -t tells git cat-file to tell you what the "type" of the object is. git will tell you that you have a "blob" object (i.e., just a regular file), and you can see the contents with
$ git cat-file blob 557db03
which will print out "Hello World". The object 557db03 is nothing more than the contents of your file hello.
|Don't confuse that object with the file hello itself. The object is literally just those specific contents of the file, and however much you later change the contents in file hello, the object we just looked at will never change. Objects are immutable.
|The second example demonstrates that you can abbreviate the object name to only the first several hexadecimal digits in most places.
Anyway, as we mentioned previously, you normally never actually take a look at the objects themselves, and typing long 40-character hex names is not something you'd normally want to do. The above digression was just to show that git update-index did something magical, and actually saved away the contents of your files into the git object database.
Updating the index did something else too: it created a .git/index file. This is the index that describes your current working tree, and something you should be very aware of. Again, you normally never worry about the index file itself, but you should be aware of the fact that you have not actually really "checked in" your files into git so far, you've only told git about them.
However, since git knows about them, you can now start using some of the most basic git commands to manipulate the files or look at their status.
In particular, let's not even check in the two files into git yet, we'll start off by adding another line to hello first:
$ echo "It's a new day for git" >>hello
and you can now, since you told git about the previous state of hello, ask git what has changed in the tree compared to your old index, using the git diff-files command:
$ git diff-files
Oops. That wasn't very readable. It just spit out its own internal version of a diff, but that internal version really just tells you that it has noticed that "hello" has been modified, and that the old object contents it had have been replaced with something else.
To make it readable, we can tell git diff-files to output the differences as a patch, using the -p flag:
$ git diff-files -p diff --git a/hello b/hello index 557db03..263414f 100644 --- a/hello +++ b/hello @@ -1 +1,2 @@ Hello World +It's a new day for git
i.e. the diff of the change we caused by adding another line to hello.
In other words, git diff-files always shows us the difference between what is recorded in the index, and what is currently in the working tree. That's very useful.
A common shorthand for git diff-files -p is to just write git diff, which will do the same thing.
$ git diff diff --git a/hello b/hello index 557db03..263414f 100644 --- a/hello +++ b/hello @@ -1 +1,2 @@ Hello World +It's a new day for git
Committing git state
Now, we want to go to the next stage in git, which is to take the files that git knows about in the index, and commit them as a real tree. We do that in two phases: creating a tree object, and committing that tree object as a commit object together with an explanation of what the tree was all about, along with information of how we came to that state.
Creating a tree object is trivial, and is done with git write-tree. There are no options or other input: git write-tree will take the current index state, and write an object that describes that whole index. In other words, we're now tying together all the different filenames with their contents (and their permissions), and we're creating the equivalent of a git "directory" object:
$ git write-tree
and this will just output the name of the resulting tree, in this case (if you have done exactly as I've described) it should be
which is another incomprehensible object name. Again, if you want to, you can use git cat-file -t 8988d... to see that this time the object is not a "blob" object, but a "tree" object (you can also use git cat-file to actually output the raw object contents, but you'll see mainly a binary mess, so that's less interesting).
However -- normally you'd never use git write-tree on its own, because normally you always commit a tree into a commit object using the git commit-tree command. In fact, it's easier to not actually use git write-tree on its own at all, but to just pass its result in as an argument to git commit-tree.
git commit-tree normally takes several arguments -- it wants to know what the parent of a commit was, but since this is the first commit ever in this new repository, and it has no parents, we only need to pass in the object name of the tree. However, git commit-tree also wants to get a commit message on its standard input, and it will write out the resulting object name for the commit to its standard output.
And this is where we create the .git/refs/heads/master file which is pointed at by HEAD. This file is supposed to contain the reference to the top-of-tree of the master branch, and since that's exactly what git commit-tree spits out, we can do this all with a sequence of simple shell commands:
$ tree=$(git write-tree) $ commit=$(echo 'Initial commit' | git commit-tree $tree) $ git update-ref HEAD $commit
In this case this creates a totally new commit that is not related to anything else. Normally you do this only once for a project ever, and all later commits will be parented on top of an earlier commit.
Again, normally you'd never actually do this by hand. There is a helpful script called git commit that will do all of this for you. So you could have just written git commit instead, and it would have done the above magic scripting for you.
Making a change
Remember how we did the git update-index on file hello and then we changed hello afterward, and could compare the new state of hello with the state we saved in the index file?
Further, remember how I said that git write-tree writes the contents of the index file to the tree, and thus what we just committed was in fact the original contents of the file hello, not the new ones. We did that on purpose, to show the difference between the index state, and the state in the working tree, and how they don't have to match, even when we commit things.
As before, if we do git diff-files -p in our git-tutorial project, we'll still see the same difference we saw last time: the index file hasn't changed by the act of committing anything. However, now that we have committed something, we can also learn to use a new command: git diff-index.
Unlike git diff-files, which showed the difference between the index file and the working tree, git diff-index shows the differences between a committed tree and either the index file or the working tree. In other words, git diff-index wants a tree to be diffed against, and before we did the commit, we couldn't do that, because we didn't have anything to diff against.
But now we can do
$ git diff-index -p HEAD
(where -p has the same meaning as it did in git diff-files), and it will show us the same difference, but for a totally different reason. Now we're comparing the working tree not against the index file, but against the tree we just wrote. It just so happens that those two are obviously the same, so we get the same result.
Again, because this is a common operation, you can also just shorthand it with
$ git diff HEAD
which ends up doing the above for you.
In other words, git diff-index normally compares a tree against the working tree, but when given the --cached flag, it is told to instead compare against just the index cache contents, and ignore the current working tree state entirely. Since we just wrote the index file to HEAD, doing git diff-index --cached -p HEAD should thus return an empty set of differences, and that's exactly what it does.
|================ git diff-index really always uses the index for its comparisons, and saying that it compares a tree against the working tree is thus not strictly accurate. In particular, the list of files to compare (the "meta-data") always comes from the index file, regardless of whether the --cached flag is used or not. The --cached flag really only determines whether the file contents to be compared come from the working tree or not.
This is not hard to understand, as soon as you realize that git simply never knows (or cares) about files that it is not told about explicitly. git will never go looking for files to compare, it expects you to tell it what the files are, and that's what the index

A few notes from practice this morning:
–Swedish winger and the longest-tenured Bruin P.J. Axelsson skated at practice this morning, and related afterward that he felt good. Axie has missed three games with unspecified muscle spasms, but it's hoped he'll be ready to go against the Maple Leafs in a big divisional "four-pointer" Thursday night.
"I felt good. We'll see how it reacts and how I feel tomorrow morning," said Axelsson following practice. "It's not nice [to miss games], but at least I'm making progress."
–B's goaltender Tim Thomas said his wife told him this morning [quick Haggs' aside: you've got to love the
ultimate hockey family where the wife is telling her NHL player/husband what's going on between the pipes around the league] about the Toronto Maple Leafs switcheroo in net on Wednesday night during their overtime shootout. For those that weren't in the know or didn't happen to be in the booming Metropolis of Toronto last night, coach Ron Wilson lifted Vesa Toskala after the overtime, and instead placed 41-year-old veteran Curtis Joseph between the pipes solely for the shootout.
Thomas said he had heard of similar moves before in the AHL and Claude Julien thought that Edmonton turned the trick last season with Mathieu Garon and former UMass-Lowell netminder Dwayne Roloson. Thomas admitted that it might make sense in some instances. One of the biggest questions Thomas had was, who gets the loss when that happens?
Logic would dictate it would be CuJo after losing to the Team Formerly Known as the Mighty Ducks in the shootout, and this time logic wins. Toskala gets zeroes across the board after allowing two goals through the first 65 minutes of hockey, and Joseph gets an OT loss after hopping onto the ice cold turkey for the shootout session. The Leafs are coming to Boston on Thursday, so perhaps the B's will get to see this for themselves tomorrow night.
"I've heard people talk about doing it when the shootout first started. Does CuJo get the overtime loss, and then Toskala gets a no-decision? CuJo must have known beforehand and been loosening, so he'd be ready to go in for the shootout. You've got to loosen up your muscles, and I think you're not worried too much about the mental part of it. Especially at CuJo's age. You're worried about making sure your body doesn't pull a muscle.
"Being a goalie in that situation would be kind of weird. I don't think it would be too much pressure because they're putting you in there because they think they're going to lose to the other guys anyway in the shootout. Know what I mean. It's an easy opportunity to be a hero. In a way it's kind of relief if you've played well in net [like Toskala] and it's a 2-2 games when you come out."
—Patrice Bergeron was among several Bruins that addressed the B's alarming 0-3 record in shootouts thus far in the young season — a campaign in which they seemed as if they had a pretty good chance to improve on last season's 6-7 record in OT shootouts. Bergeron admitted that it might be time to mix things up a little bit among Boston shooters — Bergeron himself has gone to the five-hole tuck move several times already in the young season — but also felt that the Black and Gold had the makings of a good shootout team. Also credit Julien for bumping David Krejci into the top three shooters, as the 22-year-old scored in the final round of the top three to extend the shootout two more rounds in last night's eventual loss. It was a crafty little quick shot that Ryan Miller clearly wasn't ready for as he slowly made his way down the slot.
"Things haven't worked out for us [in the shootout] the way we would like them to. You've got to keep working at it," said Bergeron. "We've won some games in shootouts and we have a lot of talent up front, and the back side can do a lot of things out there too.
"Because we didn't so well in three games doesn't mean that we can't start getting good results. Yes, I am trying to create some new moves and sometimes it takes a while to get them ready for the shootout. I think practicing it is one thing out on the ice, and then bringing it into the games is something that's a little different. You just have to go out there and take whatever the goalie is giving you."
After all this shootout talk, it's clearly time to include the best shootout goal of all-time. This one comes courtesy of former Boston College winger Ryan Shannon, who perfected the spin-o-rama move with the Vancouver Canucks last season and used it to help win a game for them against the Chicago Blackhawks. The best part was the shove in the back from the Bullin Wall that he got after scoring the goal. Shannon is toiling with the Binghamton Senators in the AHL right now, so maybe it's time to make a move and bring the shootout specialist back to the Hub for specialist duty. You can never have enough spin-o-ramas. Enjoy the video and let me know what your favorite shootout move/goal is.

This is my first post. I've been very inspired by this site! I used to make wine, so I made a diy co2 unit quickly and easily using standard inexpensive wine making supplies: a one gallon glass wine jug which already comes with a rubber cork with a hole in it for tubing and some tubing. The wine making tubing is slightly wider in diameter than the standard tubing that is sold with airstones at the LFS, but that tubing slides perfectly into the wine tubing and the wine tubing is tight in the rubber cork so I haven't had any problems with air leaks. I think that the glass bottles look cool in a backwoods bootlegger/mad scientist/eccentric Victorian parlor kinda way...so it elimates the need to hide the bottles and with the tight seals you don't need to worry about silicone.
I also have some 5 and 6 gallon glass carboys that I'm not using to make wine and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or thoughts about whether I could use these to make planted aquariums. These jugs are made of heavy, clear glass. The largest part of the jug is 10" in diameter and 15" high. After 15 inches the upper part of the jug slopes gently inward and upward for about 9 inches ending in an opening that is about 1 1/3 inches in diameter. These jugs also come with airtight rubber corks and tubes which could be used to input CO2 or O2.
Any ideas?
Your thoughts are pretty interesting!
The only thing I could possibly contribute is, I have heard bad things can sometimes happen when you use DIY in a glass bottle.
As long as you don't plug those cork stoppers too tight, they should just pop off in the event of pressure blockage. The risk with using glass is that the bottles could explode and blow shards of glass everywhere. As long as you don't use a screw-on cap and stick with cork stoppers, you should be covered.
The rubber corks are airtight, but they will pop out if the fermentation gets out of control or there's a blockage. The jugs are made of heavy glass and the whole set up is designed for the purpose of fermentation.
The only difference between the DIY Co2 set up and the set up to make wine is the addition of fruit in the recipe. When you make wine, you put a little gadget called an airlock into the hole in the cork. It looks like a test tube with water in it. This allows Co2 to escape but keeps everything else out. The water in the fish tank would replace the airlock...
Do you think it would affect the fish negatively if I added fruit juice to the yeast and sugar? I like the idea of making small batches of specialty wines while adding CO2 to my tanks.
It would be interesting to see how the rate compares to the mixes we use. I would still want to use a bubble counter of some sort so I could easily see how much gas was going intothe tank. I've read of people OD'ing the tank with that volume mix if the aquarium is not large. OTOH, the fermentation process might be much slower than the sugar mix we use.
I would think that all the regular cautions are warranted, watch your pH and KH and know what the maximum CO2 is for your tank and what the pH is at that point.
I would advise you add a bubble counter between your carboy and your tank. This should catch anything that gets out of your carboy and prevent it from entering your tank. Occasionally people without the bubble counter will see a cloudy yeast discharge in their tanks.
What does an airlock look like? I agree with Ann, a bubble counter not only lets you measure the CO2 delivery rate, but it also helps absorb some of the yeast byproducts and deliver cleaner CO2 gas to the tank. When I put a bubble counter in line with my Yeast-generated CO2, it helped eliminate the sludge buildup I'd see on the airstone in the tank.
An airlock is a glass tube about 3/8" in diameter, formed like a paperclip.
It can hold water, like a trap in plumbing. The gas can escape, but spores and bacteria are stopped by the water in the trap.
Great airlock description, Digger. Doesn't it seem like an airlock could somehow be revamped and used in the DIY CO2 process?
I'm still relatively new to this. I have a neighbor who's had a gorgeous 125g planted tank for about 7 years, and I've always been fascinated by it. So I decided to start with a 3 gallon Eclipse which I've had for about 3 months now. I made a lot of mistakes before I found this website...my first set of plants died because the plant light in the Eclipse tank could not support their needs...and I did have a bad yeast back up overflow that filled the tank and killed my two neons. It was only in there for about 45 minutes before I noticed and I drained and refilled the tank immediately. My Oto survived this ordeal and now I find myself very attached to him.
At this point, my plants are doing very well and I have to unhook the CO2 tube at night or the tank gets too much.
I did also try adding Yeast Nutrient to my last CO2 recipe and found my zebra danio lying on the ground gasping. I quickly drained some water out, added some new and he's been fine ever since.
Seems like an airlock could be a very beneficial addition to a Yeast-generator CO2 system! That's why I asked. How much do they generally cost?
Sounds like there's not enough volume of water in an airlock to effectively scrub the CO2 of whatever gunks up an airstone.
Yeah, i think it's only about 15 ml in there.
Airlocks cost about .75 each. The rubber cork w/hole (its referred to as a Universal Bung in my wine catalog) that comes with it is also about .75.
Since the top of an airlock is capped, it might be possible to use two airlocks, remove the caps, silicone the tops together, and then the other two ends could be pushed into the tubing. Maybe I'll go down into the basement today and try. I'll let you know if it works.
Also, be aware that there are two types of airlocks...the squiggly test-tubish paper clip one that Digger described so well, and a new fangled version which doesn't have any bends in it...its like a tube with an inverted cup inside it.
I'm not very good at describing these things...I'll try and find a photo if I can.

Ecuador Natives Push Chevron for Settlement
The Rainforest Action Network, a non-profit organization that protests the pollution and destruction of natural habitats around the world, recently gathered on a bio-diesel bus named Priscilla with Ecuadorian tribal representative Emergildo Criollo and drove to new Chevron CEO John Watson's home in Lafayette to deliver a petition demanding the company pay for the clean up of Chevron-owned Texaco's contamination of the Ecuadorian Amazon rain forest.
"Because of contamination in the river, I have lost two sons and my wife is very ill. I have been in this battle for over 10 years," said Criollo, who has come to the Bay Area on behalf of the Cohan and Siona people of Amazonian Ecuador as well as the organizations Secoya Indigenous Nations and Frente de Defensa de la Amazonia. They are among the local groups battling Chevron in an Ecuador court, seeking compensation and cleanup money.
The petition, which has been signed by more than 350,000 people from all over the world, never reached the hands of Watson. The CEO was not home when the activists arrived. The Ecuadorian did have a scheduled closed meeting with Chevron executives at the company's headquarters in San Ramon later that day. He was accompanied by a demonstration outside the corporation's office, where a dozen RAN members listed off names of petition signers.
"We here at Chevron, believe that this is a great first step towards an ongoing dialogue between Chevron and Ecuador," said Gary Fisher, Chevron's Manager of Public Policy, to RAN activists after the closed meeting with Criollo.
Criollo lived his entire life in a remote village in Ecuador where he saw Texaco – which was later purchased by Chevron -- come and go, leaving oil pollution everywhere. Consumer activists reports show that an estimated 30,000 people have suffered from contamination in Ecuador, just one country out of many who have reported illnesses and mutations caused by the reported 18 billion gallons of toxic waste dumped in the region.
"[Chevron/Texaco] chose to use pumping technology that was not as advanced as the drilling technology they use in the states, which pumps excess crude back into the ground, to save two to three dollars a barrel...There is free standing oil in this pristine rainforest. It's hot and it just boils in the sun. You can touch it, you can smell it," said Anderson.
Chevron executives claim that the pollution is the fault of the oil company in charge of extraction now, nationally owned PetroEcuador. They also state they have funded up to $40 million in clean up efforts, a claim that RAN believes to be false. The petition calls for the oil company to fund clean up operations in the region and is estimated to cost them more than $16 billion.
"We believe we are very far away from any resolve from this company," said Criollo.

I've recently been provoked to take a serious look at Kaplak again. I thought I would drop a few lines in this place to announce that I'm back to work on Kaplak – if only in a tiny slice of my time – but no less ambitiously.
The truth is I've never really left. For various reasons, it made a lot of sense to close down the company Kaplak and focus on other things, but I've never quite left the ideas we worked with in Kaplak, and I believe the world still needs what we had coming for it. In the meantime there's not much else to do but figure out ways to build upon the experience we had then.
So in the back of my head, this is what I have been doing. I am right now on three months of parental leave from work – which among other things, have lent me some long-missed time to think about the meaning of my life and the connected world. When teaching one does actually do a lot of thinking – but it's mostly about teaching and planning classes and lessons, and not much else. Since August 2009 I've been teaching history and media full time at Aabenraa Statsskole – and since the summer of 2007 I've also had two kids (one now aged 4 and one nearly 9 months), which in sum means that my life is totally different today than what it was when I first started Kaplak.
So what did provoke me to take yet another long arduous journey to the far far away land of the slim ends of the long tail? (Plural because they come in large numbers!) Among other things, I've come across a couple of online phenomena which deserves a few words in this space.
Earlier this year Google launched Google+ which I have embraced and played with – at times enthusiastically, at others somewhat reluctantly. It's like Friendfeed has come back – but different and with a whole new feature-set, which combines the best of what Twitter and Facebook have to offer. But it's still a proprietary monster, where Google (among many other things) gets to decide what their users are 'allowed to call themselves', simply because while Google+ empowers users to share their stuff in ever more flexible ways, the network is still owned by Google and this ownership is never in question. Nevertheless, the ease of sharing stuff on Google+ has made me into a regular poster.
Google has been quick to add hashtags to it's service, and I've now begun to add hashtags to my stuff, which makes it easy to find #copyfight stuff and posts on #landvaluetax, as well as all those #thingsthatmakeyouseetheworldjustalittlebitdifferently. It often has stricken me though, that I ought not to use Google to make what is in essence niche micro sites much like the ones we were developing with Kaplak Stream. Instead, I'd like to share stuff using WordPress as a platform as we did in Kaplak, and only use Google+ as a secondary channel.
If this then that
Just recently I stumbled (via my Google+ network) across an online service which goes by the name If This Then That, which stirred up a lot of thoughts about Kaplak in the back of my head. Occasionally I come across something which contributes a piece to this ongoing puzzle. Ifttt, I believe, is such a piece. Now these stirred-up thoughts have fallen into place again, and although a lot of the ideas we worked with in Kaplak remains (making a sound business out of less-than-popular ("long tail") products – and transforming work life and the universe as we know it in the process), some have landed in new places.
My instinct tells me that Ifttt (and similar services) paves the way for the future of the internet. Ifttt truly empowers users because it puts users in charge of the what, when and where of their online activities – not the services they use. It widens a door already opened by the APIs of online services, which adds a new parameter to the equation. Companies such as Facebook, Google and Twitter will increasingly have to compete on how well they serve the needs of users to bring their data where they need them to go (and in that process make more data available flexibly and cater to the needs of services such as Ifttt) – and not where those companies would like them to go.
Now, what does this entail for Kaplak?
We had two working strategies in Kaplak – one was widgets, the other was Kaplak Stream. Both aimed at the same target : selling niche products in rich niche contexts, which would easily be found by their niche customers, and in doing this connecting seller with buyer. The middleman – the "skipper" making the connection, would in turn earn kaplak, a percentage of the product value given by the seller.
Now, it's a top priority to concentrate efforts on making Kaplak economically feasible. This means, that with the greater ease and the less hazzle we can create these connections, the better, as the turnout (kaplak) from each sale must be expected to be very small. Therefore, we will focus on the "stream"-approach, but with a few decisive changes to make sure we must do as little "clean up" and maintenance as possible – more on this at a later time and place.
This aligns well with what my life looks like right now. Among other things, I can not dedicate as large a portion of my time as I would like to build up Kaplak, at least at this point in my life. I will keep teaching history and media, and continue to devote a large part of my spare time to my precious family.
But what I do have, are those spare minutes during the day, which cannot be used for much else. I will continue to cruise the web and share stuff, using my phone, my laptop and my PC. But increasingly I will 'share with Kaplak' i.e. develop a sharing platform and work out posting routines accordingly, using Kaplak – rather than use Google+ just because I am too lazy to use my own platform. Google+ has other excellent possibilities and uses – but should never be the end destination for shared stuff, no less so than Facebook or Friendfeed should.
Using services such as Ifttt we can easily distribute items to their proper place, and since I've last worked seriously with WordPress, useful and valuable plugins such as FeedWordPress has only improved – and will assist to help create the niche sites, which in turn will deliver the helpful contexts for future Kaplak products.
What is important though, is that I sense that it is in fact possible – right now, using the tools that we have right now – to build a site architecture, without the need for a lot of coding, which will (if very slowly, to begin with) help accomplish the beginnings of what we set out to do with Kaplak.

1. What's it about?
In the mountains of Transylvania, Count Dracula and his daughter Mavis run a high-end resort, where "monsters" can get away from the hubbub and screaming of life in the human world for a little rest and relaxation. Mavis' 118th birthday (the vampire equivalent of her 18th birthday) is rapidly approaching, and she is longing to see the world. But Dracula, a widower, is highly protective of his only child. Enter Jonathan — a young Shaggy-esque American hitchhiker — who stumbles upon the hotel, a hotel where humans are not allowed.
The story that develops is about a father learning to let his daughter have her freedom in a dangerous world.
2. Will my kids like it?
Yes. I saw it with my 14-year-old daughter, who was really excited to see it, and she was not disappointed. We talked about it afterward, and, she really identified with Mavis. She's not only cool with black hair and borderline gothy clothes, she's very in control of her own destiny — a good role model at that age.
Younger kids, though, will love the slapstick humor, which is brilliantly pulled off by director Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack). His comedic timing with animation is pitch perfect, taking what might have been an otherwise flat script and giving it non-stop frenetic life. The theater we were in was filled with young boys and girls who never seemed to stop laughing. Continue Reading "10 Things Parents Should Know About Hotel Transylvania" »

I called my good old buddy Bob in Victoria British Columbia... He agrees with my friend in Alberta about cutting the holes and agrees with magnetizing the tool to keep the nut from rattling around in your subframe if you decide to go the distributor wrench route.
But before you do, are you planning on replacing the control arm bushings, because if you are, Bob says it gets easy if the control arms aren't in the way. I don't have the schematics of a 79 Camaro front suspension in front of me but this is a question I was asked by my good friend.
I hope some of the information I got from good friends helps. This apparently is a problem that everybody has doing mounts on your 2nd gen F body front subframe.
So if the passenger side has holes in it already, I don't think it would hurt to drill a hole in the drivers side.
I looked at the mounts at O'Reilly's and for your application I that they would be just fine.
Chin up, after this you'll be able to pass your information on and say, "this is what I did".
I'm going to replace EVERY bushing on that front end because they don't look like they're from a 1979 car.... they all look like they're from the original 1949 !!
This car drove real tight not loose all over the place so unless I actually saw all of this I would have never believed it if a mechanic told me he had to replace all of this. Goes to show that I have to trust the experts. Of course trust and verify is my motto since there are lots of shysters out there too. I trust my neighbor though, he's slow but the job gets done correctly.
I'm going to replace it all because they all look dried up. They're not that expensive now that I know that I don't NEED to use poly ( thanks again ).
Yeah, I'll also be able to help someone else out in the future when they ask about something like this.
if your going to replace all the bushings and you have the car in front of you, would it be easier to replace the mounts (as my friend in Alberta said) with the control arms off the car? If it is easier, maybe wait until then, unless it conflicts with something else.
Talking about trust, as you may have noticed, below the heading "69 Widetrack" I have my mantra. Faith, Respect, Trust. I try to live by these 3 words and I'll explain them to you.
If I ask you to do something, it's because I have "faith" in you that you will and can do it.
If you do it, I will "respect" you.
If you do it often enough, I will "Trust" you.
Just something that has helped me through life.
" If you do it often enough, I will "Trust" you. "
It would work both negative and positive:
If they do it often enough and keep screwing it up = bad
If they do it often enough and learned from their mistakes and now do it right = trustworthy
I'll remove the control arms, sway bars, everything tomorrow so I can then get to the mounts.
No hurry since I have scheduled this entire week to do that plus clean and paint the engine block, clean all acc's attached to the engine (water pump, power steering pump, etc.), remove the rest of the brake lines from the frame, get the frame down to nothing on it so I can take it to the sandblaster NEXT Monday. I was hoping to do that this week but my schedule has to be flexible because I keep running into these little issues that make me have to research and then come here to confirm my results and then get them shot down with the correct way to do them
Well even if I get my conclusion shot down on how to do something, the time I spent researching definitely helped me learn more about my truck so it's time well spent. I also hated when an employee brought to my attention a problem but didn't bring me a possible solution with it. That told me the employee didn't even try to fix it = lack of initiative = soon to be ex-employee.
Isn't that the truth about problems and solutions. If people would only realize that finding solutions, and it doesn't matter where you get the solutions if it's by research, ingenuity or just plain common sense, is so personally gratifying. The easy part is to find a problem, everybody has the ability to do that, the challenging part is to provide a solution and when you do you also get faith, respect and the trust of other individuals.
Glad to hear about your motor mount situation, probably a good idea to replace those parts while it's all apart and again, you will know what you have.
Exactly. At one time I was going to just fix a few things and make it a rat rod but then as I started taking it apart and noticing all the bad installations I figured let's fix it up a little more. Then the Air Force in me stepped in and I decided a complete restore is the best and only route to take to make it safe since I now plan on keeping it for a long time.
It sounds so familiar, I know what you mean. I get into something and I can't do it half way. If I did it would bother me for ever and haunt me. Like I used to tell painters that I was training, nobody ever talks about the average paint job, they only talk about the really good ones and the really bad ones. The nice part is they get to decide what kind of paint job people talk about when it comes to their work.
That's so true about talking about the worst and the best. I'm going to get some rest watching some TV now so I can get up early and hit that frame. Talk to you later, thanks again Ray and have a great night.
So today the guy I've been waiting for to help me change the TransAm rear to my Ford tells me he's not coming this weekend again, 3 weekends in a row. So I went to the swap meet to see what I could find now that I know a little more than last month and I found a '85 Firebird rear with disc brakes and emergency brake and got it for $75!
That just saved me the hassle of removing it from my TransAm so I put my TransAm on Craigslist for sale and already have 2 guys coming tomorrow to buy it.
Now the good stuff. I opened it and every tooth is there and it is very smooth where I can turn it by hand and nothing is binding or catching, very smooth.
As you can see in the pictures it has the GM number in the casting but unless it's still factory inside I understand that number is useless. I also have these numbers I found on the "center thing where the drive shaft connects" that I think is called the pinion. I counted 10 teeth on the pinion but I could be wrong because my neighbor was turning it at 1000 rpm while I tried to count even though I asked him to slow down many times. It was easier to just try again tomorrow if the numbers don't reveal the story. That number is :
22521254 then a small trademark type square with the letters HP inside then 11 41 GM 9 then a very lightly stamped M at the end.
I didn't see anything on the ring but I'll look closer tomorrow because it was already dark outside where the heavy rear is. I did however count the teeth on the ring and came up with 41 teeth.
So how do I figure out what the ratio and if I have a gas guzzler or a cruising differential? Can the numbers tell if it's limited slip too?
I just Googled only part of what's on the pinion ( 11 41 GM 9 ) and found this:
Precision Gear - GM 9 1/2" Ring and Pinion Gear Sets
So I think I miscounted the pinion teeth and I have 11 instead of 10 with a 3.73 like I read on the stamped "11 41 GM 9" ?

Thanks Cobalt. Since you added the comment open differential I Googled it to learn more about it and found these animations. I'm sure this is super basic to you but it's really good when trying to understand how these things actually work.

Now I remember that we used to weld the insides on my Toyota so I'd have both wheels grabbing the road on our 1/4 mile drag races and can see why the tires screeched as I turned. I knew what was going on with the tires because I could see it but now see what was going on inside too.
Hi Carlos, welding up the inside of a rear end to give you "constant posi-traction" is not a good idea, especially if you plan to drive it a lot of street miles, but I'm sure you know that from experience. A 373 gear is an excellent mid to low gear ratio, good for get up and go off the line and fairly manageable at higher speeds...now you need to shoe horn that rear end into your truck...what are your ideas?...Hows the width of the rear end compared to the ford that you have in it now?
Hi Ray. No way I'm welding this I was just remembering what I used to do when I was young and dumb.
This rear is axle to axle about 4" less than what I have on now so it works out great. Now I can add wider tires and they wont stick out the sides. Since I'm going to build a flat bed with stakes I won't have inner fenders to contend with either.
I'm planning on cutting off everything that sticks out of it leaving it bare so I can mount it on the leaf springs like the other one. I'd like to have coils instead of springs only because I'm a minimalist and it looks better to me but my neighbor doesn't know how to deal with that and I'd rather be safe than sorry and keep it simple.

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
Summary:Building is considered to be one of the fundamentals of configuration management, even though some might argue that building isn't really CM. The reason it is fundamental is that the build/verification cycle provides proof of reproducibility if done correctly. It forces CM to be done correctly so that only the objects from the CM repository are used to reproduce the build. When formal build processes are correct, they need no information that resides outside of a CM repository. When properly done, the build record is created prior to the build (i.e., a build notice) rather than as a result of the build, with that record being used to drive the build process. An integral change management capability is an essential component of such a build process.

Why developers today are often kept waiting to get projects ok'd to connect to the grid.
Bruce W. Radford is publisher of Public Utilities Fortnightly .
Why developers today are often kept waiting to get projects ok'd to connect to the grid.
Late last year FERC learned that the Midwest regional grid likely would require at least 40 years — until 2050 — simply to clear its backlog of proposed gen projects awaiting a completed interconnection agreement to certify their compatibility with the interstate power grid. But grid engineers would meet that date only by shortening the process and studying multiple projects simultaneously in clusters. To apply the process literally, studying one project at a time, as envisioned by current rules, the Midwest reportedly would need 300-plus years to clear its project queue.
Bringing this bad news were Clare Moeller, vice president of transmission asset management for the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (MISO), and John Norris, chairman of the Iowa Utilities Board. Norris serves also as president of the Organization of MISO States, the group that represents the state utility regulators who function within the MISO footprint.
Each man had appeared as a witness at a technical conference held at FERC on December 11 to explore ways to fix the commission's LGIA rule. That rule, set some five years ago in FERC Order 2003, sets the process for a proposed large generating facility to obtain an Interconnection Agreement, which would certify the plant in question as a fully deliverable "network resource." The completed IA ensures that the plant's operation at full capacity will mesh with existing grid operating parameters and in so doing will not hinder the operations of other, previously certified network resources. But the process has become badly outdated.
"It's now time to look at our interconnection process and see whether there are tweaks that need to be made," said FERC Commissioner Suedeen Kelly, who had first suggested the project interconnection queue as a topic for study, according to Chairman Joseph Kelliher. Yet the problem may well call for more than a tweak.
A month before the conference, the governors of seven Midwestern states wrote to MISO CEO Graham Edwards to express their "growing concern" about how wind-energy developers face a "crisis" in the delays they encounter in bringing new projects on line. Citing a study conducted in April 2007, Norris predicted at the conference that wind-energy development in the Upper Midwest during the next six years or so could generate some $59 million in payments to farmers and ranchers, plus $148 million in new property taxes in sparsely populated rural areas.
As each conference speaker took the microphone, it became evident that some grid operators and regional transmission organizations (RTOs) have had to stretch to complete the complicated engineering studies and restudies seemingly required by FERC's LGIA rule. "Transmission engineers are overtaxed," said Kris Zadlo, transmission vice president for Calpine.
In written handouts distributed at the meeting, Laurence Chaset, senior staff attorney from the California Public Utilities Commission, explained that the "first come, first served" right embodied in FERC's LGIA rule, combined with the implied requirement of conducting serial studies for

I agree that whether to treat or not is a personal decision and up to each of us to make. I can say that my own personal experience with DWV led me to become a "treater" (with MAQ's). I wanted to comment on three concerns you mentioned if you do decide to treat.
(1) Maq's will keep indefinitely in a freezer. Ten is a lot for a hobbiest beekeeper to buy and I put my excess in the freezer for next year.
(2) You will need to make a decision very soon as temperatures are approaching the upper limit which is 92 degrees F.
(3) I would treat both hives at once. I guess it is due to drifting but mites appear to move quickly from one hive to the other.
Oldtimer has written a lot of good information on DWV and "crawlers" on various threads on this site. I learned a lot from him and you may want to read some of his postings.
Best of luck to you.

Watch GLORY 10 Los Angeles Live on LiverKick
- Written by Dave Walsh
GLORY 10 Los Angeles is quickly-approaching, which for Kickboxing fans is a very good thing. Of course, the only caveat for fans in the United States is that this is GLORY's last non-Spike TV event for a while, which means that it will be airing on CBS Sports Network, but that airtime is apparently 12:00am on Monday morning due to it being football season. For those of you that still want to watch GLORY 10 live, well, you aren't out of luck, you are in luck. Why? Because your favorite Kickboxing site, LiverKick.com, will be carrying the event live on internet PPV.
As always, purchasing the event not only supports your favorite fighters and the GLORY organization, but supports LiverKick.com as well. We know that watching events on a computer can sometimes be a bit of a bummer, but we've watched these through hooking up a HDMI cable to a TV and it really does turn out fantastic.
If the embedded player isn't working for you, the purchase through us is still valid and you can watch it here; http://gloryworldseries.com/en/glorytv

Great American Cleanup drop-off locations for 'spring cleaning'
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Now that spring is here, it's time to think about 'spring cleaning'. For those ready to roll up their sleeves, there's some extra help this weekend.
The Great American Cleanup will have three different drop-off locations in Johnson City where you can dispose of items the city won't normally collect.
You can drop off things like old furniture, small loads of wood, and building supplies..
Televisions, tires, hazardous materials, air conditioners, and paint will not be accepted.
We're told Johnson City police will also be collecting old medications, and there's a new collection set-up for teachers. "Our teachers spend so much money a year out of their own pockets to provide extra materials, so this with the PTA will be out collecting supplies you want to donate, you may have leftover from when your kids were in school," said Eva Hunter.
Saturday's drop-off will be held from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. rain or shine at the corner of Legion Street and State of Franklin Road, as well as Mountain Home Elementary School, and Fairmont Elementary School.
Great American Cleanup sites will be at other locations over the next few weeks.
Here's a complete list:
• Fairmont Elementary, March 23
• Mountain View Elementary, March 23
• Corner of Legion Street and State of Franklin Road, March 23
• Woodland Elementary, April 6
• ETSU, April 6
• South Side Elementary, April 6
• Cherokee Elementary, April 20
• North Side Elementary, April 20
• Carver Recreation Center, April 20
• Liberty Bell Boulevard, May 4
• Towne Acres Elementary, May 4
• Indian Trail Intermediate, May 4
Drop-offs will be limited to one pickup-truck load per person.

Beauty-wise, the loveliest and latest look is all about bringing a delicate flush to the face.
Fashion may have had its fling with pretty-pretty for now - moving boldly towards winter's sharper styles - but cosmetically speaking, sugar-spun confectionery colours are like candy to a baby.
Go all girlish with these more-ish pastel treats. Just don't be a glutton and avoid a sickly outcome by balancing your intake.
The way to wear pastels is with restraint. Choose one main shade, rather than mixing it up for a lolly scramble look. By all means introduce a little subtle contrast, in say a different pastel on the nails for fun, but on the face go for a nearly neutral canvas highlighted by a feature colour on the eyes.
This might be anything from lilac, through mint and lemon, to aqua and icy blue, or even into warmer gold-kissed sunset shades.
What saves pastels from looking startlingly old-fashioned is the injection of a little rosy warmth in the wearer's skin tone and avoiding overly strong lashes (so 60s).
What saves pastels from looking garish is a lighter touch than when they were paired with coloured mascara and contrasting lip colour (so 80s).
So now is perfected skin with a healthy glow emanating from barely visible foundation complemented by a soft sweep of shadow. This streamlined look brings fresh sophistication to pastels. It can be carried off by anyone, from brides to those clad in black.
If your first makeup instinct is normally for nudes and neutrals, or a strong pop of colour, why not explore the alluring pastel playground instead?
Softly does it
To apply a flattering pastel colour, choose a shade that complements your eye and skin tones and use a big, fluffy brush (either an eye sweep or a smallish blush brush) to build "blown-out" colour on the eyelid and above.
M.A.C's senior artist for Oceania, Amber D, says the shadow should be visible above the crease as you look straight ahead into the mirror, but avoid taking it all the way up beneath the brow. Instead, blend it out, winging it softly at the sides if you wish. Because eyelids are naturally greasy, your shadow will have more "grab" if you apply a lid primer first, or blend your chosen colour on to a neutral cream base for extra staying power.
Use a thin application of eyeliner and mascara with pastel colour to avoid eyes looking weirdly washed-out and ensure brows tidily define the whole.
Loose pigment powders offer the most intense colour, but are messier to use than solid powder and cream shadows. Try adding a light metallic touch to dress up a pastel shade, she says.
"Be open to trying things on."
Pinks and peaches are trickier than the blue, green and lilac tones, but the right shade can be flattering.
Amber D recommends twinning pastel eyes with a creamy soft lip shade, rather than anything too bright. (Look out for M.A.C's new Mineralize Rich Lipstick, due in store next month.)
Eye need
Single eyeshadows are a makeup kit essential, says Dior international makeup designer Yadim.
"I love monochromatic makeup. I think it's become a strong trend. It's a quick and easy way to wear makeup. It takes the guesswork out."
Buying a mono shadow, rather than an eye palette, is the best - and least expensive - way to experiment with the pastel trend. Luckily, Dior and a host of other beauty brands have put an emphasis on single shade sales, introducing new formulas and colours.
Yadim says a mono shade can be "as bold as you want it to be", or more subtle and neutral. "Follow a simple guideline, choosing one colour and using that colour by itself, or with other shades that match or complement it - for example, applying a rose shadow on the lid with a rosy or peach blush and a rose stain on the lips, or using a strong, statement smoky eye shade by itself, with nude lips and just a slight contour in the cheeks."
A third option is the classic Dior look, with a strongly coloured red lip. These days this is matched with a softer eye, using a nude tone in the crease, which Yadim says is "very chic and super simple to wear".
Add impact to all three approaches with a black, graphic liner and then load on the mascara. (Try Diorshow Art Pen, Lancome Artliner for a fine-tip that won't overwhelm pastel shadow.)

Carpenter, Elizabeth. "Sarah Sze." In Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole: Walker Art Center Collections, edited by Joan Rothfuss and Elizabeth Carpenter. Minneapolis, MN: Walker Art Center, 2005.
© 2005 Walker Art Center
Throughout her childhood in Boston, Sarah Sze was an attentive observer of her father's work as an architect. This fascination, as well as her undergraduate study of art and architecture at Yale, fostered her appreciation of the conceptual, material, and practical complexities of the design and construction of buildings. Having lived in two of the world's most densely populated cities (Tokyo and New York), Sze experienced firsthand the tenuous connections between people and the places in which they live and work, observing that there are structures "ever present in daily urban life that … both support and threaten us. I experience both a general comfort and fear that comes with my complete dependence on [them]."1
Sze's site-specific installations reflect this tension. Since 1996, she has created finely attenuated sculptures, often on a monumental scale, constructed out of a wide array of brand-new, domestic commodities of everyday life, including lightbulbs, thermometers, breakfast cereal, cotton swabs, and pushpins. Metastasizing from walls and ceilings, her works also inhabit random or underutilized spaces such as corners or windowsills. All of her installations to date are interventions with the existing architecture; she "doesn't fight the building but tickles it."2
Over a period of twelve days in May 1992, Sze created the Walker-commissioned Grow or Die, a three-part site-specific work in the Cowles Conservatory on the grounds of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.3 For this project, she cut into the subterranean spaces beneath the floor usually reserved for the mechanical innards of a modern building's basement or foundation. Each of the three windows looking into her unique handcrafted land- and cityscapes is meant to be a surprise encounter: "I wanted the sites to seem as if they had been discovered, rather than placed."4 By impeding the viewer's ability to determine depth and breadth, Sze reinforces the idea that each window provides a glimpse of a single, expansive system.
The first part of Grow or Die resembles an archaeological dig in a canyon or eroded river bed. Blue pushpins and small rocks balance on top of swirling geological outcroppings carved in Styrofoam. The snowy white formations of the second part undulate downward to an icy abyss. Sze wanted the viewer of this piece to experience a powerful gravitational pull into the void. In contrast to the organic infrastructure of these installations, the third is organized in an irregular architectonic grid. Rather than evoking a natural environment staving off the encroachment of human development, the preponderance of rectangular forms signals a bird's-eye view of a lost cityscape. In Sze's art, human creativity, ingenuity, and progress face off against the inevitable natural and biological imperatives of birth, growth, death, and evolution, securing the timeless struggle for survival.

Sze, artist talk at the Walker, May 19, 2002 (videotape, Walker Art Center Archives). ↩
The visitor's encounter with Sze's microcosmic worlds parallels the experience of entering the Conservatory, which is itself a contrived environment. In the same way that the Conservatory is a shelter for tropical trees and botanical specimens that could never survive in the northern climate outside its protective structure, Sze's artificial ecosystem is safe from the elements and contains things that appear to be growing and dying out, hence her choice of title. ↩

Does Nicks beg off so he can negotiate after a better season than he had last season? Reese will use his playing behind Cruz, numbers wise, for two years just as he's using signing Nicks in Cruz's negotiation.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
If you would pay MB top 5 TE money, I'm glad you are not the Giants GM.
Do not feed the trolls.
browns are targeting him also
2015 season tbd
I've posted it other threads about MB, but I would love to re-sign him.
He's a very good blocker and showed to be a very good pass target.
I think he would been a bigger target if our offense was geared less toward the downfield passing game.
However, most of the stuff we've heard sound like he won't be back.
Let's hope Mike Pope can turn Adrien Robinson into a player.
I understand these players need to make a livelihood, and I shouldn't talk unless I'm in their shoes blah blah, but why the hell would you give up the opportunity to actually win the big one? These guys all make tremendous amounts of money anyway.
I guess the point I'm actually trying to make is, why would you want to play for a garbage organization like Tampa, with a disrespectful college crybaby coach like Schiano, when you are in the position to really stand out and win?
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
RF is dead on! I say if we're smart we give Nicks an offer right after Cruz, before the season starts. If he makes it through 16 games his asking price goes up. Use the same way we got Osi on the cheap, make the offer before the market appreciates. Make it juicy too, with a good amount of guaranteed money. After what happened to SS, every receiver who was here will think twice about turning down a big contract. I think Nicks has shown us what he brings to the table. He will play hard every game and play through pain and when he's healthy he is the best to wear a Giants uniform.
I think his agent will convince him to wait until next offseason and don't settle for a good but not great offer.
