I wanted to see this because of the lead actors, especially Alison Lohman. I loved her so much in "Drag Me To Hell", I wanted to see something else she was in. The movie served that purpose very well. Beyond that, the characters that Colin Firth & Kevin Bacon played were both so morally bankrupt, I really had trouble watching this movie. And I guessed the ending way before we got there. The film was well made and acted by all. I've seen worse movies, but when you find every single character you're watching to be of just despicable moral standards, well, it just made it hard to watch. In my humble opinion, this one's worth watching only if you want to live a little in the gutter for awhile. Take a shower after.

Quite a shocker. Engaging, and different for Colin Firth, for sure, but be prepared for explicit sex and nudity. Interesting ending.

nudity and sex - no comment needed, but other than that:
Good story. A little confusing at first with two characters doing voice-overs, some "oh, this is a flashbacks", swapped identities (it's not a spoiler), and some things referred to that you only later realize what they are talking about.
but not too confusing.
In a sense it centers around a whodunnit (which even turns out to be of the locked room variety) but the true core seems to me to be more about truth and protecting people (and ambition)

Behind the Facade
MICHAEL ACUNA | Southern California United States | 10/19/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"In what seems, at first glance, to be a death defying, jaw-dropping appeal to make himself more marketable to the general public by adapting a novel by the man who wrote and sang the insipid "Pina Colada Song," prodigiously talented director Atom Egoyan ("The Sweet Hereafter," "Ararat") outsmarts and certainly out-directs those that would make him Steven Spielberg by creating an "entertainment" as complex and important as "Laura" and as dizzyingly theatrical as "Memento."
In "Where The Truth Lies," Egoyan takes us to 1972 Hollywood and the story of a now defunct comedy/musical duo, Morris and Collins (a slimy, rat-packish Kevin Bacon and a calm on the surface yet internally whacked-out Colin Firth), the circumstances surrounding their break-up and the mysterious death of a beautiful young woman (a sultry yet prim Rachel Blanchard) being investigated by a young, ambitious reporter/novelist (the excellent Alison Lohman): a death with which Morris and Collins may have or may not have had anything to do.
Egoyan takes this popular entertainment, and like the great directors, Douglas Sirk and Alfred Hitchcock for example, approaches the material as if it is the most important in the world, seriously applying his expert skills, creating an undeniably truthful tone and a point-of-view that transforms this story into one infused with, on the one hand, a world-weary importance and on the other, a hold on to your underpants roller coaster ride.
Both Firth and Bacon do their best at chewing the scenery and attempting to best and upstage each other in all of their scenes together but despite this or maybe because of it, they both come off as prometheanly conflicted and flawed individuals ultimately guilty of only wanting to have a good time and make the most of their stardom and celebrity.
With her quiet, reserved performance, Alison Lohman manages to steal this movie away from both Firth and Bacon: she is an old-soul, with eyes both fierce and limpid and a manner and carriage that speaks volumes with the smallest flick of an eyebrow or a jut of chin.
Not only is there an intellect at work here with all cylinders firing but Egoyan's considerable humanity, awareness and understanding of all things human imbues "Where The Truth Lies" with a warm, sunset-like glow that stays with you long after the last image of the last scene flickers away.
Strong Acting of Kevin Bacon Cannot Save the Film from Shall
Tsuyoshi | Kyoto, Japan | 01/22/2006
(2 out of 5 stars)
"I can usually forgive the complicated story especially when it is about a murder mystery or film noir. That is, if there is something that interests us - dead body, sexy woman, cool detective, or whatever. That `Where the Truth Lies' demands so much suspense of disbelief is already a big problem, but more problematic is that Karen O'Conner (Allison Lohman) is such a boring heroine as young fledging journalist who wants to know the `truths' about the two TV stars doing telethons in the 50s and a dead body of a beautiful woman found in a bathtub. (And Karen disrobes herself - yes, guys, there is nudity, just for the record. So if you're interested in Ms. Lohamn like me, see the uncut version.)
The story itself is intriguing, I admit. (I haven't read the original book by Rupert Holmes, but if you say it is better, I believe it). Young Karen, so desperate to find a big story, approaches two former TV celebrities, Lanny Morris (Kevin Bacon) and Vince Collins (Colin Firth). They were popular vaudevillians, and did a successful telethon on a broadcast during the 50s.
Now the time is 1972, the place, Los Angels. After meeting Vince in person who requires one million dollars, Karen finally gets a chance to read the inside stories written by Lanny, who so far has never told anything about the `unlucky incident' at the hotel. In the meanwhile, she gets a chance to know Lanny personally, and is attracted to him, only to find that the truths are more complicated and dangerous than she thought.
[TOO IMPOSSIBLE] I say again the premise is interesting. But any noir film or any kind of drama using the idea of crime mystery needs meticulously detailed descriptions of characters and situations, but sadly Atom Edoyan must have thought otherwise. We are told that Karen can pretend that she is `Bonnie' (Sonja Bennett) her friend and second-grade teacher, and use Bonnie's room to cover up her identity when she meets Lanny. We are told that Karen is an inexperienced journalist, but somehow she gets a contract worth $ one million. And that's one million dollars in the 70s when Lanny and Vince are now forgotten TV stars in the 50s, not Jerry and Dean. And we must believe that these Lanny and Vince are not only promiscuous (that part I can believe) but also so violent that Vince can beat up a rude audience at backstage. And it is Colin Firth (!) who surely is trying to undo his Darcy image.
But if you have to find the truths about this film, it can be found in poor acting of Allison Lohman. Yes, I wrote, poor. Maybe I should have written `miscast' but I do not actually mind the casting itself very much. But I still think her acting is disappointing, lacking emotional nuances that are essential in letting us know what Karen is feeling at each key scene. This is only my impression, but when Karen feels pride (for her job), joy (for meeting Lanny), fear (for experiencing what I cannot write here), or compassion (for the mother of the dead woman), Karen looks the same all the time. And there is nudity and kissing with another girl (attired in Alice in Wonderland costume). I tried to figure out the meaning of them, but at best they are as deep as the lyrics of Jefferson Airplane songs.
Only reliable Kevin Bacon and the perfect production designs are impressive in `Where the Truth Lies.' The rest of the film is a series of awfully incredible twists and turns of mystery which is in fact a very shallow one."
Disappointing, Miscast, Noir Wannabe
Donegal Dan | Southwest United States | 03/21/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)
"From the two main leads, I had hoped this film would be good. Unfortunately, it was only engrossing in fits and starts. To begin with, Colin Firth was badly miscast and played his part almost as if sleepwalking. I could get no insight into the man or his motivations. Kevin Bacon was better--and the best part of the movie although not up to his top form. His portrayal of the sleazy Lannie was relatively convincing but he got very little help from the plot or his co-cast members. And Alison Lohman, I'm sorry, was pretty terrible. For someone playing a supposedly junior hot-shot reporter, she was not only slack-jawed and naive appearing, but also irritating. In addition, the plot had her swinging from doe-eyed and innocent admirer to wanton sexual playmate without an iota of believability or back-up character development. The storytelling technique of voice-overs and flashbacks can be effective but in this case I found it primarily confusing and distracting. Overall, what could have been a well-done neo-noir mystery with intriguing twists and turns seemed merely muddy and offputting."

I've started a Tumblr as sort of an offshoot to this blog, mostly because I got sick and tired of all the pay-to-post crap that's been going on with Facebook, although you've never read the One Base on an Overthrow Facebook so you wouldn't know that, would you. Of semi-interest to one or two of you, I'll be using the Tumblr to occasionally re-post older tracks from the blog archives, i.e. the stuff that stopped working or isn't playable anymore.
If you've got yr own Tumblr then drop a note in the comments section and maybe I'll follow it, although probably not, it doesn't seem like you and me have much in common anyway.

Some people like the swings of high-stakes poker games; some are content with a free drink and a few hands of nickel slots. Why?'s Oaklandazulasylum is fundamentally a pop record, a collection of tunes that has the potential to be pleasing to both kinds of people. Things happen when you expect them to happen, but Why? — bane of grammar checkers everywhere — makes sure that what does happen lands as far from your expectations as possible. Like most highly experimental work, it's a roller coaster; the highs are speechlessly high, the lows painfully low. Those with the patience to stick it out, however, will find buried deep within in a wash of acoustic guitars, muffled electronics and stuttering vocals, the occasional diamond waiting to be unearthed.
The scattered arrangements of Oakland are pieced together by a thick soup of samples, beats and general weirdness, some of which floats to the surface, some of which lays low in the track. All of them are worthy of replays, as the album is full of endlessly inventive plays on traditional pop. As the opening track "Ferriswheel" gets moving, Why? sings over an acoustic guitar arpeggio, and after a couple of passes, we've added horns and, right when we're ready for the drums, we instead get smacked with a glitchy beat and some fuzzy raps. The eastern-tinged "Seventeen" longs to end gliding gently into a sea of soft chords, but instead it crash-lands into a hideous pit of static.
Why?'s talents as a singer/lyricist, however, may be a tad suspect. His stiff, nasally voice sounds in triumphant moments (such as the first portion of highlight "Early Whitney") like a melodic Billy Corgan, but he can just as easily (as with the faux-barbershop quartet finale of "Weak Moon") make you want to plunge a screwdriver into your ears. He can fool you for a spell, leading you into a trap with urban poetry like "and all I feel is guilty as I rubberneck a wreck on the highway." Then he turns around and drops a line like "There are very few microwaves in the third world," with no plausible contextual explanation. Robert Frost it ain't.
The mood of many albums can be ascertained by the activities which might well accompany them. The Chemical Brothers' Exit Planet Dust is a great party album; Modest Mouse's The Moon & Antarctica is a great driving-at-night record. There's really nothing you can do while listening to Oaklandazulasylum. It demands your full attention; it will not allow you to concentrate on anything else while it's playing, leaving you at the whims of both its brilliance and its cringe-inducing awkwardness. It's easy to dismiss for its nearly impenetrable shell, but music this repellent that induces such hypnosis is a treasure unto itself.

Chris Johnson finally gave the Titans their money's worth on Sunday, and as a result he's been honored by the league.
Johnson, the highly paid running back who went off for 195 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday against the bills, has been named the AFC offensive player of the week.
Aided by a terrible Bills defense, Johnson went off for an 83-yard touchdown (becoming the first player in NFL history with four career rushing touchdowns of more than 80 yards) and averaged 10.8 yards a carry on the day. Despite a bad start to the season, Johnson is now averaging 4.5 yards a carry this year and is on pace to gain 1,134 yards, which would top his output for 2011.
The question, however, is why Johnson can't play this well — or even close to this well — consistently. Johnson has had four absolutely awful games this season, with four yards against the Patriots, 17 yards against the Chargers, 24 yards against the Lions and 24 yards against the Vikings. The Titans got a great game from Johnson on Sunday, but considering what they're paying him, they need more out of him than one great game.

Today a 'liquid learning place' metaphor caught my eye in the blog of Eleanora Guglielman.
It is a S. Warburton brand marking the fluidity of concepts and identity:
Concepts of identity are inherently fluid and flexible and our understandings of learning are becoming less strongly bonded to institutions and specific educational spaces. This is a landscape where the form is contingent on the beholder. A place where learning opportunities shift and adjust to the learner.
It reminds me is a "free floating" metaphor that i first detected few years ago in concerns with elearning (Barron, 2000).
Barron (2000) views the convergence of Knowledge Management and e-Learning as:
"a beast (which) combines formal training as represented by e-Learning, and the free-floating knowledge swirling through organisations that knowledge management practices seek to snare and share".
Barron T, (2000),"A Smarter Frankenstein: The Merging of e-Learning and Knowledge Management"at http://www.learningcircuits.org accessed 29/05/02
Siemens wrote in his book "Knowing Knowledge":
Ecologies and networks provide the solution to needed structures and spaces to house and facilitate knowledge flow (p. 86).
Besides associating floating, liquidity and flow to knowledge itself and connecting it with the spaces where knowledge is moved, the flow process has been associated with personal perception and action.
A term of interest is "flow experience".
This originates from a metaphor people were using: several people described their 'flow' experiences using the metaphor of a water current carrying them along.
Some factors that Csíkszentmihályi identifies as accompanying an experience of flow are of interest:
– Concentrating and focusing, a high degree of concentration on a limited field of attention
– A loss of the feeling of self-consciousness, the merging of action and awareness.
– People become absorbed in their activity, and focus of awareness is narrowed down to the activity itself, action awareness merging
My interest is a hybrid ecosystem, combining virtual arnd real worlds, people, knowledge and activities.
I would like to have a bit of time, thinking how people become part of hybrid reality involving knowledge, action and the environment into their activity space, perceiving this flow experience.
Becoming hybrid beings in any moment of an activity, extending yourself out of your physical body by action and merging yourself with the environment, may enable probably to be part of these liquid places where knowledge is free-floating. But how does the fluidity of knowledge enhance the flow experience? Or does it help?
Is it something as "caught by the pipe"?

So I need to set aside my non-fiction writing this week and focus on finalising my submission for Hardie Grant's The Ampersand Project http://hardiegrant.com.au/egmont/contact-us/the-ampersand-project
The Ampersand Project is looking for debut writers of Young adult fiction. They want manuscripts about the 'secret lives of teenagers'. The first 5 chapters, plus a synopsis is due on Monday 27 February, with full manuscripts due in mid-April.
I read about this project before Christmas last year and spent a week staring blankly at my computer screen trying to come up with an idea for a Young adult book. What are 16-18 year olds into? I kept asking myself. I thought up a myriad of terribly weak and uninteresting plotlines. I started working on a story about a 16 year old girl named Audrey who fell in love with her sister's friend who was studying art at university. It was about how he made her see that all she had to do was get through highschool and then everything would be fine, that there was life after school, and that life actually got interesting after school. But when I started considering a love triangle between the two sisters and the friend I got freaked out and knew that I had to stop there and then.
And then I had this vague recollection that I had already written a story years ago about a 16 year old girl being forced into an arranged marriage. It's a futuristic story, set in Australia, where it is the norm for middle-upper class girls to get married by arrangement. It's sort of a backlash to women getting married older, and the strain on the health system, that kind of thing. The idea came from a single cousin of mine in her late 30s, who said, 'I wish there were arranged marriages.' And it got me thinking, was it actually easier and better for some people? Anyway, I started remembering that I'd written this story about this girl, so I looked back into my old files and found that I'd actually written 20,000 words. I had written it sometime in between having my first child and second child. It's all a bit of a baby-era blur to me. But when I read what I'd written, I actually really enjoyed it. It was like I didn't even recognise it, like it had been written by someone else.
In the next couple of weeks, I wrote another 10,000 words. They came flowing out of me. I got back into the character that I had set up, Sylvie, and her drop-kick husband, who she finds with his hand down his pants, on the first night of their honeymoon, while he plays his virtual computer game. And she sees on the TV screen that his Avatar is doing the deed with another Avatar. Errr.
But then I got stuck. I don't know how to finish off the novel without it being corny and cliche. I need another 10,000 words. I had wanted her to get pregnant, either by her other love interest, or the drop-kick husband, and for her to have the baby and realise that the love a mother has for a child is far better than any romantic love. But then I realised, that's not going to mean much to a Young adult audience. That is more for me. So I need an ending!!
Anyway, I am happy with the first 5 chapters and I've drafted a synopsis. I've thought up an alternative ending, that is slightly better than the love thy baby one. But it's still not completely amazing. I'll need some sort of satisfactory ending for the synopsis. Hopefully, I can come up with something by the 27 February....

Ninjas or players are challenged to defeat their enemies by using their weapons within a steady beat. The app truly cloaks its teaching agenda with action-packed fun.
Use this when a tricky spot needs work. Everytime the section is played correctly, the student can build more of the crazy balloon shape.
A goofy yet extremely effective game for training discerning the difference between pitches. Good for all ages.
I like this app because of its simplistic and effective method of comparing pitches. It comes in handy when helping students understand the difference between pitches especially when introducing half steps and whole steps.
The premise: a "ninja" granny needs help dusting off the keys. My students thoroughly enjoyed this app (including those with little to a great deal of experience at the keys). However, they all claimed it was more fun than educational. The app has a large selection of songs from different genres and at various levels of difficulty. Additional songs are added automatically all the time.
This Tetris-type game helps cement the names of the keys for beginning students. Ten levels cover CDE through all the black keys. It's a challenging and fun app to assign when you sense a student needs a bit extra reinforcement in that area.
One of the top apps for drilling pitch recognition that is customizable, MIDI compatible.
Remember the Simon game? Just like it but for the iPad. It's a great builder of memory capacity and variances in tones.
Use this to motivate during lessons. Dress the spud every time a phrase is played correctly.
A crazy and entertaining way to experience track layers and building loops.
An entertaining way to teach form and movement to the beat. You've got to see it to believe it!
To keep your sheep "alive", you must perform jumps of different heights and roll over stacks of black sheep … and you must time this "perfectly" to the background music. I have found this to be really helpful with students who are just beginning to work with eighth notes (or sixteenths!) — since they always want to rush TO the notes. This trains you to rely on your ear and your (developing) sense of steady pulse.
A simple educational music game. Listen to the cubes and repeat the sequence of notes back. It starts with one note and after that is your turn. In the next round you hear the same first note plus one new. You must then play those notes back. Reminds me of the "Simon or Bop-it" games but with pitch only. Here's my blog about it and a printable for keeping track of studio high scores: MusicCubes
The Music for Little Mozarts Piano App was specifically developed for the preschool age group (four-, five- and six-year-olds). The games provide a balance between learning key aspects of the piano and the pure enjoyment of making music. I particularly like this app as it isolates concepts such as high and low, up and down and loud and soft. Includes note name drills as well that are too difficult for most preschoolers. I do question the level of some of the games in an early level app like this.
Music Room Music Theory for Beginners
Split into 22 lessons that cover all the major theory topics from reading notes and rhythm to basic harmony, lessons provide you with all the information you need in order to take on the interactive quiz. Pass the quiz and earn your achievement badge for each topic in turn. The app contains over 2,000 questions of varying difficulty to test theory knowledge.
An app geared towards children thanks to the kid-friendly graphics and interactive screen. The premise: read about and listen to classical music. Brief bios of many famous composers and information on instruments are included.
Here's my blog about it. Even my high school students raved about this app!
The app uses untraditional box notation to build rhythm reading skills. No experience required, the app requires tracking and a good ear. Perfect for beginners to advancing students.
This is PERFECT for young, beginning pianists to help them discern high and low pitches, match pitches and identify pitch patterns and be creative with the basic elements of music.
If you are collect PDF worksheets from favorite websites, import them to Notability where they can be organized, duplicated and students can complete them all in the app. No more printing worksheets!
Check out my blog post (and second blog) about this remarkable and versatile app which will replace reams of paper and maybe save a tree or two.
This must-have app isn't just for building better sight readers, it also includes TONS of exercises to build technique and theory skills including recognizing intervals on the staff and playing them on the keyboard.
Princess Piano has escaped a spell cast by an evil witch thanks to her magic ballet shoes. By learning to read and play music on the piano, you will help the princess dance her way back to the Cloud Kingdom to rescue her family. In this melodious adventure, Princess Piano introduces the notes of the scale and how they are written on the staff. As Princess Piano climbs the skies towards the Cloud Kingdom, you will start with simple melodies, but will soon progress to be able to play well-known folk songs and selections from classical masters such as Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Debussy. Along the way, you unlock outfits that Princess Piano can model in the "Dressing Room." You can take photos of the ensembles you create and send them to your friends. And, using the music composition tool, you can even compose music yourself and have Princess Piano dance along to the notes of your very own song.
FYI: this has won some fans in my studio, it's worth a look if you need an app to reinforce note reading on the staff. BUT it's not easy for pre-readers.
The app includes video tutorials, practice exercises and then drills on what was taught. A teacher's dream app for learning basic note values! One of my students was a little frightened for the monkey's well being but most students loved the animation and interactive format.
Tonal Recall Pairs Flash Cards
Just like the old-fashioned card game of finding matches by turning over cards, the user must tap on a card and find the other card with the matching pitch. The first level offers pitch names and the sound, the second level only offers the sound of the pitch but no letter name.
This has an option to test the name of piano keys. Just the names of keys, it does not connect the name of the key with grand staff. It's hard to find an app that isolates this concept!
A default app for when I need to illustrate or notate things in a hurry. Here's a video of a student learning to draw notes using this white board.
BONUS TIP for white boards
There's nothing like writing on dry erase boards and I'm happy to say I have recently acquired one (with staff lines!) for my studio wall. Another studio essential: the Hal Leonard All-Purpose Music Flash Cards. However this white board app provides a fun twist at lessons–students love using the iPad for any reason and has some wonderful potential. Click here to read how.
Although it's a guided course for any age, this is a great tool to reinforce what you are teaching at lessons for beginners.
A must have app for any music teacher. Worksheets that can be completed on the iPad or downloaded for print drill most of the basics of music theory including chords, rhythm, pitch recognition, finger numbers, five-finger patterns, intervals and more.
Besides intervals, this app also drills high and low sounds. Perfect for beginners!
Want an excuse to come to Denver, Colorado in July? Then attend our 88 Creative Keys Workshop improvisation workshop.
At workshops you'll learn first hand how to use AND teach with these top music apps.

Ian is a qualified accountant (ACMA) and spent the first 10 years of his career working in finance functions within the pharmaceutical and precious metal refining industries. Here he gained valuable experience in managing staff, preparing financial and management accounts, and working closely with business managers to help develop project appraisals, corporate plans and annual budgets.
Ian then decided to move into management consultancy with KPMG and worked on a wide variety of interesting projects throughout Europe and the Middle East, both in the private and public sectors. Most of his work was project management related and involved the selection and implementation of the latest systems and business processes within the finance function. Work included preparing strategy studies and business cases for change, PFI and supplier evaluations, recruiting project teams, leading systems design and working with all the management and stakeholders connected with the change. As a result, Ian has considerable experience of project management methodologies such as PRINCE 2 and others.
It was during the course of this work that Ian came across Monte Carlo Simulation and @RISK. He found it such a useful tool for managing expectations, developing risk-efficient plans and getting adequate resources for his projects that in 2001 he decided to specialise in the technique. Ian has now been working closely with Palisade since 2005, and during this time has delivered numerous on-site customer training sessions, public classroom courses, web-conference training sessions, and consultancy projects.
Ian's wide experience, together with his communication skills, enable him to communicate complex subjects using everyday, easy to understand language.

I'm sending this query out again to a wider audience... Anybody have an answer? -----Original Message----- From: Samuel Yang [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Friday, April 02, 1999 12:31 PM To: 'firstname.lastname@example.com' Subject: Are duplicate property/value pairs permitted for a resource? If an RDF processor is asked to add a property/value pair for a resource, but that property/value pair already exists for that resource, should the processor: (a) Add a duplicate property/value pair to the resource, or (b) Ignore the "new" property/value pair? I couldn't find anything in the spec regarding this issue. The closest thing I found had to do with fact that the Bag and Seq containers allow multiple instances of the same value. However, that isn't even the same issue, since items within a collection have unique property names (rdf:_1, rdf:_2, etc.) Samuel C. Yang email@example.com <<Samuel C.

I was disappointed. Some seed performed excellently and a few did OK. But overall, most seeds had very poor germination rates (20% or less) or failed to germinate at all. I was shocked at the no-shows from what I would have thought were surefire wintersowing successes like the New England Aster and two of the three Asclepias species.
|Wild chicory, one of the rare seeds liked wintersowing
It's possible that one contributing factor is the unusually wet and cold spring we have had; I read Monday that Montréal experienced double the average precepitation for this time of year. As a consequence, the potting soil was wet for prolonged periods of time and a lot of the containers became green with moss or (what is possibly) algae. I can see how the plants preferring quicker drainage would be unhappy.
Another possibility is seed source. All of the alpines were from Rocky Mountain Rare Plants' (RMRP) going out of business sale. None of them have been great performers wintersown or under lights (but worse when wintersown), despite many of them sold as easy 70°F germinators.
Amusingly enough, a few of the ungerminated pots surprised me with sprouts Monday morning when I went to throw them out. This convinced me enough to keep some of the other containers with no apparent germination around for a little longer (**).
Would I repeat the experience? I'm not sure.
I would definitely plan better if I did it again. I struggled to find somewhere to plant the abundance from the excellent performers. The early emergence of the spinach and bok choy in April caught me completely off guard -- they bolted before I could get them in the ground as it were.
|Happy bok choy, spinach, red orach
I would probably make up a custom, soilless mix rather than bagged el-cheapo potting mix to better control drainage and unwanted fungus / moss / algal growth. When it became clear that my containers were waterlogged, I found it difficult to add drainage with it already full of medium; it would be far easier to tape over extra drainage holes to reduce drainage than to make new ones.
But mostly, the large number of poor performers tempered any joy I had from seeing the other sprouts emerge even though I know that some of these might be hard to germinate under any circumstances.
The one huge benefit to wintersowing is virtually eliminating the need to harden off the little guys since they were exposed to the sun's deadly rays from the beginning (the containers were uncapped). I've managed to kill off or damage a not insignificant amount of seedlings grown under lights while hardening them off (and, it seems, the more precious the seedling to me, the more likely it would die a quick UV death) this spring. I've had zero deaths from hardening off in the wintersown bunch. To be extra cautious, I let them acclimatize to the elements for a couple of days by removing the duck tape keeping them shut, and then cut off the top of the containers altogether.

A women's rights activist who faced deportation to a country which has threatened her with execution has had a reprieve at the 11th hour.
Raja Bachir Khouja was due to be deported to Saudi Arabia – despite never setting foot in the country and receiving a string of threats from its government.
The 56-year-old, of Grimesthorpe, is an underground women's rights campaigner and has criticised the Saudi government and the country's regime and treatment of women.
She was set to be deported tomorrow, along with husband Mahmoud Mohammed Al Hassan, a Saudi national, on the grounds they would be safe in his home country.
Through her husband, Raja has dual nationality and a Saudi passport.
But at a last-minute hearing in London, a Judge ordered a stay on the couple's removal until consideration of an application for 'permission to proceed' has taken place. It is likely to be in the next two weeks.
Meanwhile, Qatar Airways, which had been due to fly Raja to Saudi, announced it would not accept the couple 'on medical grounds'.
Specialist immigration solicitor Emma Brooksbank said: "We are not at the finish line yet, but this is very good news. Raja is in particular danger from the authorities in Saudi Arabia where religious police have made repeated death threats against her."
Raja, who left Syria in 2010 and settled in Sheffield, said: "This was a very scary situation to be in.
"I have received threatening emails that state quite clearly they want to crucify, kill or maim me by taking off some limbs and they have issued an arrest warrant due to my postings.
"I fear they can just make me disappear and either kill me or at best put me in a jail cell for the rest of my life.
"All I have done is campaigned to help women and I never thought I would ever set foot in the country."
A Home Office spokesman said: "The United Kingdom has a long and proud history of offering sanctuary to those who genuinely need it and each claim is carefully considered on its individual merits. But when someone is found not to need our protection, we expect them to leave the country voluntarily. Where they do not, we will seek to enforce their departure.
"We do not routinely comment on individual cases."

It's the beginning of July and we may be a bit late in creating our fall and winter soaps. We focused that last couple of days talking about what we wanted them to look like. Today was the day we put those ideas into soap. We created one Works of Art Soap called Fall of Colors (picture to the left) During the colder months the warmer scents become very popular like our Oatmeal Milk and Honey soap during the winter we can't keep it in stock, now it's just sitting on the shelf. So creating soaps for the fall and winter is not only about the look to emphasize those months but about the scents. So we decided to do a smores soap, now that might remind you of the summer, Barbequing but the scents we used to create it is totally warm winter. We used a hazelnut for the graham crackers, marshmallow for the marshmallow and chocolate fudge for the chocolate. Yummy! We haven't cut into the loaf yet but will post a picture tomorrow. I do know that the soap smells great.
It wouldn't be fall without a pumkin so we created one to add to our line of loaf soaps. With creating soaps especially loaf soaps what you think might be a really great design doesn't translate once you make the soap. This is what happened with our pumkin soap. We did make two different designs and this picture is our second try and I'm not 100% happy with it. I love the colors I love the abstract interpetation of a pumkin but I think the pumkin might need to be a bit darker. Tomorrow we'll do the tweaking.
Designing new soaps is what I love the most but I have to tell you that it takes a lot of energy and at the end of the day I'm pretty tired.

A Mansfield firm says it wants to encourage 'greener driving' by installing electric car charging stations for free.
Electric vehicle and hybrid technology is seen by many as the future of motoring in the search for cleaner and cheaper travel.
Solartex is offering the free installation for most applicants, providing they are a homeowner, private tenant, landlord, estate agent or building contractor and have off-street parking, a driveway or garage.
Installation normally costs between £1,000 and £1,500, but has been made available without cost for a limited time by a government scheme.
Residents who do not currently have an electric car can still apply.
"By having a charging station installed, it will future-proof your home for following generations," said Solartex's Ryan Dunn.

What type of leader are you?
Have you ever wondered what type of leader you are? Years of leadership research tells us that not all leaders use the same strategies to influence their followers. Your personality helps to shape your preferred approach to leadership. For example some leaders are more comfortable with building relationships with their subordinates while others are task driven. Training and experience can also influence your leadership style. However, when we are under stress or when it isn't clear how we should lead our subordinates we tend to gravitate to our natural style based on our personality. Below we describe five major approaches to leadership. Which one fits you best?
Transactional Leadership
Transactional leaders are those who rely primarily on rewards and punishments to influence their subordinates. They tend to be task oriented and focus on goal achievement. For example, a transactional leader is likely to identify goals for followers to achieve and then reward or punish them depending on whether they met the goal. Transactional leaders can be very effective in some work environments but are often viewed as less effective than Transformational leaders who rely more on galvanizing followers to a powerful vision of the organization.
An example of a famous transactional leader is Apple's Steve Jobs, who is well known for his reward/punishment style and task focused leadership.
Passive Leadership
Passive Leadership style is associated with leaders who tend to allow events to unfold with minimum guidance or input until something goes wrong. Then they tend to become more involved in identifying who created the problem and correcting them. This style of leadership is considered to be the least effective and most likely to generate negative feelings in subordinates.
Charismatic Leadership
The most difficult leadership style to predict is Charismatic Leadership. Charismatic people are individuals who have a tendency to draw others to them. People want to be associated with them and will follow them just to be associated with them. Whether in the entertainment field (e.g. Oprah Winfrey, Johnny Depp), politics (e.g., Winston Churchill, Barack Obama) or business, charismatic people are considered to be 'natural' leaders. Charismatic leadership potential measures the aptitude of an individual for succeeding in a charismatic leadership role. Research shows there are some personality variables that can help predict who is likely to be seen as charismatic. Of all the leadership styles, however, this is the hardest to predict.
Famous Charismatic leaders include: Richard Branson, CEO of Virgin Records, and Lee Iaccoca of Chrysler, and Jack Welch of GE.
Leader Consideration
Leader Consideration reflects the extent to which the leader is likely to engage in building relationships with subordinates as an integral part of their approach to management. Leaders scoring high in this measure are likely to spend time to get to know their employees well and place a high emphasis on keeping employees happy through positive relationships. Low scorers on Leader Consideration tend to avoid building close bonds with their subordinates and prefer to maintain a professional distance.
Initiating Structure
Initiating Structure is the tendency of a leader to focus on tasks and goals. Leaders high on initiating structure tend to provide a lot of input on task completion for their subordinates. They tend to prefer to set goals for their subordinates and follow up on those goals consistently.
Our CounterpartMatch.com system assesses your natural leadership style based on your personality. For more information contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Review Summary
- Stylish, converted 1930s Art Deco building
- Great location near the beach
- Clean, comfortable rooms (some private, some dorm style)
- Hip, social atmosphere in lobby lounge
- Nice outdoor pool with poolside table service
- Broken Shaker cocktail bar attracts locals and visitors
- Good value for style and location
- Free breakfast and free Wi-Fi
- Street parking only
- Rooms near pool can be noisy
- Not a traditional hotel (a youth hostel)
Bottom Line
Combining a '70s hippie vibe with thoughtful design, The Freehand is a hostel for sophisticated young travelers who care about style, atmosphere, and a good party. This welcoming property offers a range of rooms from an eight-person dorm to private bungalows. The bar scene is renowned, drawing locals along with visitors for DJ-spun tunes and artisanal cocktails. Look for other digs if a solid night's sleep is more important than socializing, as the revelry often continues into the wee hours.

More than 600 dishes in 12 delicious Years!
By Jan Walsh, Photography by Beau Gustafson and Jan Walsh
It is difficult to believe that this is the 12th year I have shared my 50 favorite dishes in Birmingham. Back when print was king in November 2006, I published the first list "50 Great Food Finds" as a cover story in a local magazine. The following March I launched Birmingham Restaurants website, which began publishing "50 Favorites" as annual awards. And 600 delectable dishes later, here we are!

Eli's Jerusalem Grill is an organic restaurant located at 4673 Highway 280 and Pizitz Food Hall. Chef Eli Markshtien serves grass fed beef, organic chicken, lamb along with falafel, homemade pita, soups, salads, desserts, organic wine, and organic beer. Eli's also uses Non-GMO oils.
From heat to sweet Taco Mama's margaritas have it all.
Taco Mama has a motto of "Stay hungry, and be thirsty." But no one is hungry or thirsty for long at Taco Mama. The menu offers build your own tacos, burritos, burrito bowl, nachos and quesadillas, taco and burrito baskets, and an array of specialty, handcrafted margaritas.
What is a man to do when he cannot find a place to eat? When Eli Markshtien, and his wife, Laurel and family, moved to Birmingham he could not find an Israeli restaurant. So he opened his own and began cooking his grandmother's recipes—solving the problem and also fulfilling his dream of his own Israeli restaurant.
Try Ashley Mac's Salad Trio at three locations.
Ashley Mac's is open for lunch and dinner at three Birmingham area locations: Cahaba Heights, Inverness, and Riverchase. And all Ashley Mac's restaurants are locally owned by Ashley and Andy McMakin.
Much has changed since Lloyd's Restaurant opened in 1937. But one thing that has not changed is the comforting, Southern style goodness coming out of the kitchen at Lloyd's—and their friendly staff, who serves it.
Cantina Tortilla Grill serves fresh and flavorful Mexican fare.
Enjoy awesome food in a casual mood at Billy's Sports Grills.
By Jan Walsh
Photography by Beau Gustafson
Billy's Sports Grills offer terrific food, comfortable ambiences, and friendly service.
In 1979 the original Billy's Sports Grill opened as a bar and small kitchen serving simple sandwiches in Mountain Brook's English Village. Billy's Chicken Sandwich quickly became the signature dish. Also immediately popular were Billy's Famous White Sauce and Hot Mustard Sauce. In the years that followed, Billy's menu expanded to include signature sandwiches, salads, wraps, steaks, and most recently fresh seafood for lunch and dinner.

Billy's On Overton is the brother restaurant to Billy's Bar and Grill in Mountain Brook, a longtime neighborhood favorite of many who live, work and shop in English Village. Satisfying the need for an upscale sports bar and grill, the new eatery on Overton opened its doors in April 2008. Those of us who live in the area have watched, waited and been looking forward to this for months.

US President Barack Obama, who keeps a pair of boxing gloves worn by Ali in his private study, said on Saturday that Ali "shook up the world and the world is better for it". He added Parkinson's disease may have "ravaged" Ali's body, but it "couldn't take the spark from his eyes". Fellow athletes were quick to offer their condolences.

Does anyone else ever stop and notice what an amazing technological world we now live in? Socially and Morally we are still pretty messed up but we have the tech! Today's people take it for granted but just stop and think for a minute.
You can go hop in your car and drive for hundreds of miles in air conditioned comfort in just a few hours. Something that would have taken weeks just 100 years go.
You can microwave a burrito so hot that Jesus himself could not eat it in only a minute or so.
You can pull a device out of your pocket and video chat with someone across the planet.
You can talk to your Amazon Dot or Google Home and order a pizza without budging from your couch while you watch The Bachelor on your 80 inch flat screen TV upon which you can watch any movie or show streamed over the internet on demand.
In just a short time you will be able to order a self-driving car to pick you up and take you to the mall.
You can put on a Virtual Reality headset and play a game that is better than real life.
You can keep in touch with your "friends", see pictures of their amazing escapades and know just what they think about stupid things all day long.
Our grandparents did it the hard way. We had it pretty easy. Today's kids.. Oy vey. They have no clue. They don't even know what it is to live without the Internet or cell phones.
I wonder what the future holds for the humans. Fat, lazy blobs floating around in chairs while machines do everything? You know it's coming…

Hey everyone!
These are some pieces that really caught my eye!
Left: Locket Necklace - Coral color with Flower Charm - Antique Copper | Right: Rose Ring - Sky Blue
Left: Necklace set - Frosting - Necklace and Earring set | Right: Earrings - Antique Rose - Lavender
If you want a piece in a particular color combination, you can request the owner, Ali, to custom make it for you! You can also check out her blog, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube for more creations. If you buy $20 or more from AliGraceFashions, you can contact Ali for free shipping!
I received the lovely Ring - French Rose - Orchid Purple to review!
This ring fits perfectly on my middle finger, so I would say that it's a size 6. But, you can adjust the band to fit any finger size! I've noticed that some rings with adjustable bands can pinch your fingers a little bit, but this ring doesn't do that at all. I like how you can see the filigree design of the band peeking out on the sides when you're wearing the ring. Overall, I think this ring is well-made and charming, and I definitely recommend that you get one too!
Disclaimer: No monetary compensation was offered or received for this post. I was given a ring to review. The opinions above are my own and were not influenced in any way.

Cover Reveal: Nutcracked by Susan Adrian
Happy Monday, everyone! Today, I have the immense pleasure of hosting the exclusive cover reveal for Nutcracked, which is the forthcoming middle grade debut from my friend and author, Susan Adrian. Coming to a bookstore and library near you September 26th, 2017 from Random House, Nutcracked is a fantastical re-telling of The Nutcracker that follows the story of Georgie, a girl whose dreams of being cast as Clara and entering the world of The Nutcracker are realized in ways she never could have imagined possible. Susan has been gracious enough to collaborate with me on several events here on Pop! Goes The Reader over the years, and while I have loved all her contributions, I was particularly fond of her 'Tis The Season piece back in 2015, in which she talked about what The Nutcracker meant to her. (You can read that post here!) I've been looking forward to Nutcracked ever since, and I feel so lucky to have been given the opportunity to share the book's cover with you today. The cover of Nutcracked was illustrated by the phenomenally talented Stevie Lewis, who I believe has created one of the most whimsical, magical and beautiful middle grade book covers I've seen in recent memory. Please read on to learn more about this enchanting 2017 release, including an exclusive cover reveal and a personal note from the author about the novel's origins and inspiration.
This book is very special to me – I was Clara in The Nutcracker when I was 13, and while my adventures weren't the same as Georgie's, it was a huge part of my life. This is also my debut middle-grade, which is such an exciting step for me. So when I opened the email from my editor with the cover, I held my breath…and then I absolutely squealed. It's perfect. It's so beautiful and shiny and evocative of the holiday season, and Georgie just shines, holding her Nutcracker. It's everything the book is about, and it just fits so perfectly. I couldn't be happier. It's just been hard to wait to share it with everyone!
About Susan Adrian
Susan Adrian is a fourth-generation Californian who now lives in the beautiful Big Sky country of Montana. She began ballet late — at age eight — but got to fulfill her dream of playing Clara in The Nutcracker when she was thirteen, before joining the Sacramento Ballet Company. Later she got a degree in English from the University of California, Davis. These days she's settled in as a writer, scientific editor, and mom. When she's not with her family, she keeps busy researching crazy stuff, traveling, and writing more books. She still sees The Nutcracker every year she can, and tries really hard not to act out all the parts.

Since her grandfather first took her to see The Nutcracker, Georgie has dreamed of being cast as Clara in her ballet company's annual Christmas production of The Nutcracker. When it actually happens, it's not at all as she'd hoped. Her best friend won't talk to her, her grandfather is in the hospital, and every time she holds her teacher's antique nutcracker in her arms while she dances, she goes somewhere else. Somewhere dangerous. Somewhere with massive Christmas trees, a three-headed mouse king, and row of toy soldiers bigger than her. With advice from a new friend, and a chance to mend bridges with her BFF, can she help the Nutcracker prince break the spell before the curtain goes up?

Long Handle Scoops for Metal Detecting
You don't have to a be a prospector who's down on their luck to appreciate well-designed metal detectors and accessories. Although they're not the most conspicuous parts of your arsenal, long-handled scoops fulfill a vital function that makes your pastime or job easier, and long-handled models are among the cream of the crop. Of course, they're not all equivalent, so it's important to distinguish between varieties. Here are a few critical features and devices to keep your eyes peeled for.

What Makes an Effective Long-Handled Scoop?
Long-handled scoops are designed to minimize the arm and wrist strain you experience as you're unearthing valuable treasure or performing precise excavations. When designed properly, they also have the potential to reduce the amount of tension you feel in your legs and back, since they can negate the need to repeatedly bend over. One of their biggest advantages is that they make it a bit easier to dig in tricky or awkward locations.
To fulfill all these demands, scoops require more than lengthy handles. Naturally, their handles need to be formed from high-strength metals that can bear weight at a distance without deforming, and the entire device must be corrosion resistant. While many feature straight handle designs, others exhibit curves that let users take samples rapidly or adopt an alternate grip. In either case, quality of construction is paramount. Ideally, joints should be welded, and scoops ought to be formed from as few parts as possible to reduce the number of potential weak points they contain. Such durability is especially important because some scoops are made to be kicked or pushed into the sand with your feet.
Seemingly minor details, like the angle of the joint between the scoop and the handle, actually make significant functional differences. A scoop with a shallow angle might be harder to maneuver effectively, while an overly-wide angle could increase the difficulty of holding retrieved items. True, personal preference plays a big role in what you'll eventually choose, but it's always important to consider the types of usage situations you typically encounter. For instance, if you customarily hunt in riverbanks or the sides of high dunes, the angle may not be as much of a concern as handle length or extensibility.
Another commonly overlooked factor is weight. When you're carrying a metal detector, a backpack, pinpointers, pans and hydration, adding a few extra pounds to your load matters. Heavier scoops are also more tiring to work with, which might stop you from getting quite as much done or finding that fabled mother lode you've been pursuing.
So is there one long-handled scoop that beats all the rest? Once again, it all comes down to your usage style and typical hunting circumstances. Be sure to compare the different options here before making your final decision, and feel free to reach out to a Kellyco expert with your questions.

This is how you show confidence in your company.
Softbank president Nikesh Arora announced plans to buy 60 billion yen, or $483 million, worth of the company's shares.
He calls it a "personal bet" on Softbank.
Arora was previously Google's chief business officer.
He is in line to take over Softbank, the Japanese telecom and internet giant. Softbank is currently run by Masayoshi Son, a business legend.
There's a few things about this transaction...
1. If you were wondering how well paid Google executives can be, this gives you some idea! Arora joined Google in 2004, after the company IPO'd. He was so well paid over his 10 years at Google that he can afford to shell out $500 million to buy shares in his new company.
2. It puts Jack Dorsey's Twitter share purchase in perspective. Two weeks ago Jack Dorsey spent $856,000 to buy Twitter shares. Dorsey said he was "investing in Twitter's future." Dorsey has net worth of ~$2 billion according to Forbes. If he really wanted to send a strong signal, he could have spent a bit more than $856,000.
Arora is well paid by Softbank, with total compensation in 2014 coming in at $135 million thanks to Softbank poaching him from Google, and having to make up lost stock options.
Still, $483 million is a lot of money.
"This is a large transaction for me, and involves taking an enormous risk in my life once again," said Arora in a filing to disclose the stock buy. "However, I am extremely confident about the future of the SoftBank Group and the long-term objectives that we have set out. I intend to work closely with Mr. Son to make the vision a reality."

"For instance, a user might be willing to allow Youtube marketing partners access to information about videos watched, but might prefer that the same marketer not have access to, say, Gmail data."
