TCHAIKOVSKY / Starker - "Variations on a Rococo Theme" - Mercury Living Presence 1964 'Promo" 1st Pressing [Expired]
no longer for sale
"Three of the most brilliant virtuoso display pieces in the symphonic literature all came from the tormented pen of Peter Tchaikovsky. These are his First Piano Concerto, his Violin Concerto, and this work for cello and orchestra. Done in the potentially tedious theme and variations format, the work begins with a simple theme and plumbs the depths and streaks to the heights of the capabilities of what is arguably the most beautiful and wide ranging of the stringed instruments of the orchestra." - AMG "There's no reason to go into a long song and dance about Starker and Dorati here--the recordings are so famous and so coveted by collectors on original vinyl, that they're bound to make a perfect CD reissue. Starker and Dorati's LSO strings have a thing going here--they match their attacks stylistically in superb ensemble--there's just a little bit of resin, of gut, on strings that give a genuinely Slavic quality that is fascinating." - MMC "Every cellist has his own style, naturally, and Starker's was not warm and passionate. He had the face of a stage Mephistopheles, and one tended to hear his music-making as cool, somewhat analytical, and always in command. In the Toscanini era such a style was more admired than it might be now, but there is no gainsaying Starker's presence and his impeccable technique. He and Dorati exhibit a close rapport, and for that reason cello and orchestra come across as perfectly harmonious. The two partners also seem invigorated ad engaged." - SFL "If you can ignore the tape hiss these Mercury Living Presence recordings of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra would be among the finest ever made. Along with the tape hiss, Mercury's engineering captured every nuance of the performances with a clarity and lucidity that few later recordings could match." - AMG. This LP is a Mercury Living Presence Stereo recording from 1964. A very rare "Promotional Copy - Not For Sale". The LP is a 1st Pressing with RFR-1/RFR-1 as part of the Matrix. This series is highly regarded by Audiophiles as being some of the finest recordings ever made, even by today's standards and techniques. These recordings are considered to be of true Audiophile quality. The record is NM-. The jacket is Exc+. The LP plays/sounds Mint+. This is a "Promotional" premium pressing - very rare. Absolutely stunning. Starker's Cello sounds as if he playing right in fromt of you - 1st row center stage. Tremendous micro detail - you can hear his finger 'action' on the strings - as well as incredible 'Live' tonality. As is usually the case with Mercury 'Promos', the sound is somewhat warmer and sweeter then the excellent Mercury commercial releases. Slight surface noise, very low-level, on extremely quiet passages and some low-level 'ticks' on Side II. Each record is washed on a VPI cleaning machine using a proprietary 3-5 agent process which is determined by the needs of the individual record. Each record is then listened to 100% to insure that the posted description is exactly what you can expect to get. NOTE!

|Reflectors / Hoods > Greners.com Reflector / Hood Test
Ultimate Reflector Test and Guide
What is the best reflector? Greners.com answers this question for you.
Reflector efficiency - the total amount of light the reflector puts on a 4'x4' area using a 1000 watt hps bulb, measured at 25 spots (5x5 grid) with the reflector 24" above the surface. Reflector value - efficiency divided by price (bigger numbers are better). We did this testing to answer your questions, provide the best grow light packages, provide accurate recommendations, and save you money by cutting through the hype and letting you pay for performance, not marketing.
*r2 = Repeat of test
Measurements - Lumen readings were taken on a 5x5 grid covering a 4'x4' area, using a high quality Hanna instrument, and a decent meter from China. The lowest point of each setup was placed 24" above the surface - so for the vertical parabolic reflector the tip of the bulb was at 24", for the air cooled reflectors the bottom of the glass was at 24". The bulb used was a Hortilux Super HPS EN 1000W (broken in prior to testing), powered by a Lumatek 1000W Dimmable ballast. The ePerimeter value is the sum of the readings along the edge of the grid, the outer 16 spots. The eInside value is the sum of the readings in the center, the inside 9 spots.
Surprises - The Xtrasun Wing reflector did amazingly well and easily earned the best value award. Considering their advertising we were surprised how poorly the Adjust-A-Wing medium performed (the large is intended for an area greater than 4'x4' so no surprise there). It was pleasing to see that the Luxor did live up to the expectations from being engineered from the ground up to be the top performer.
Thoughts - On the accuracy of the data... the results are accurate and useable. We did two different types tests to get a margin of error and out of that testing we get an error span of 3.2%, with 2.3% being on the low side, and 0.9% on the high side. This test does not factor usability and features, it is just about efficiency - for example the XXXL is a much lighter and easier to use reflector than the Raptor, the Melonhead has great airflow, and the Luxor is slightly unwiedly.
This was a lot of work, please reference www.greners.com/reflector-test.html if sharing the results on other websites. This content is covered by federal copyright laws. Thanks.

Since MDT 2010 Update 1 was released, I've been intending to write a series of blog postings talking about the changes that have been made. While my intentions were good, I've been too busy to really act on them. So I'm going to force myself to do this one posting, and hope that encourages me to keep going from there…
You've already seen the list of new features mentioned in the official announcment, so I thought it would be good to list the scripts that were actually changed in Update 1. I do intend to talk about why some of those have changed, but that will need to come later – right now, I want to just focus on the list.
So which have changed? Well, all of them – but that's only because the build number is embedded in the scripts by our build process, so you'll see that all of the scripts have been modified so that they say "5.1.1642.1" instead of "5.0.1641.0". So let's look past that and focus on the ones that had real changes:
- BDD_Welcome_ENU.xml
- Credentials_ENU.xml
- DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml
- DeployWiz_Initialization.vbs
- DeployWiz_Validation.vbs
- LiteTouch.vbs
- LiteTouch.wsf
- LTIApply.wsf
- LTICleanup.wsf
- LTICopyScripts.wsf
- LTISuspend.wsf
- Summary_Definition_ENU.xml
- Summary_Scripts.vbs
- Wizard.hta
- WizUtility.vbs
- ZTIApplications.wsf
- ZTIAuthorizeDHCP.wsf
- ZTIBackup.wsf
- ZTIBcdUtility.vbs
- ZTIBde.wsf
- ZTIConfigFile.vbs
- ZTIConfigureADDS.wsf
- ZTICopyLogs.wsf
- ZTIDataAccess.vbs
- ZTIDiskpart.wsf
- ZTIDrivers.wsf
- ZTIGather.wsf
- ZTIGather.xml
- ZTIGroups.wsf
- ZTINicConfig.wsf
- ZTINicUtility.vbs
- ZTIOSRole.wsf
- ZTIPatches.wsf
- ZTISCCM.wsf
- ZTIUserState.wsf
- ZTIUtility.vbs
- ZTIValidate.wsf
- ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf
OK, so maybe it would have been easier to list the scripts that weren't changed. As you can probably tell from the list, the changes were rather widespread, sometimes to fix bugs, sometimes to add enhancements based on your requests, and other times to support new features. Some of these changes were fairly minor, others were more substantial (more details on the actual changes to come later). Regardless, if you've modified any of the MDT scripts, you'll want to save a copy of your modifications and then compare them against the new scripts (after upgrading your deployment shares or toolkit file packages) to see how to integrate your changes, or even if they are still needed.
There were also some new script files added (all used by the new UDI scenario):
- UDIWizard.wsf
- UDIWizard_Config.xml
- UDIOffline.xml
- ZTIConfirmDiskpart.vbs
- ZTIErrorMsg.wsf
- OSDStartTime.vbs
- OSDEndTime.vbs
- OSDBranding.vbs
- OSDBranding64.vbs
- ZTISetBackground.wsf
- OSD_BaseVariables.vbs
- OSDLocalAdmins.vbs
Next up: Exploring the changes made to the MDT task sequence templates. That can wait for another day.

In Light of Friday's Tragedy
Many years ago when I was new in ministry I was a kids' minister in a local church. That church was pioneered by a Pastor who had been there 14 years. Many of the families whose children were in my "children's church" had been there from the beginning. Suddenly, that pastor resigned and re-located to a church on the other end of town. It was a truly tumultuous time for that little church. Until that time I had only taught from curriculum, but when he left I felt as though God was directing me to address the situation with the kids by not acting as though nothing had happened. I felt I was to take their suggestions on what I should teach for a while and I did. It was amazing the things God allowed us to cover as a result.
This month I feel somewhat the same. I was preparing a story about a young lady who had grown up in and around Kids for Christ and I will share it at a later date. However after the events at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday, I like many of you got a bit of a reality check.
For the last year and a half I have been nice and respectful of the state of the economy and its impact on the donations to this ministry. After I realized we were "off" like many ministries I prayed and felt led to go back being "bi-vocational" to take care of my family. God has truly blessed that effort. I began to pour myself into my residential window cleaning business as well as Kids for Christ USA. In fact I went from speaking in 6-9 schools a week last year to 2-3 this year. The volunteers of this ministry in the Tulsa area have been amazing and God has truly been blessing this effort. In hindsight, I probably should have made this shift sooner. I felt I had been led to be "full-time" in KFCUSA for several years. I may have "missed it", but I missed it trying to follow the Spirit of God, so there was a certain level of grace in my mistake.
That said, I have been feeling for some time that I should be doing more to expand KFCUSA, but because I have been so busy with my residential window cleaning business and the oversight of KFCUSA, I have neglected that leading. In light of yesterday, I can ignore that nudge no more! Please understand I don't at this time feel God directing me to abandon my business, but I don't think I am supposed to continue exactly as I have been. I feel led that I am to begin "rebuilding the monthly support base back up" so that I can begin to spend the necessary time needed to expand the vision I was given nearly 12 years ago. I can no longer let sensitivity to a weak economy supersede God's ability to provide.
I am "re-committed" to "Reaching a New Generation of Kids for Christ" and I am asking you to join me by becoming a monthly supporter or a "one time" donor to this ministry. We have preset buttons on the website from $3-$250 a month (Other amounts can be created upon request). It's time to join together and use every available means to reach kids in America's schools with the love of God! I need to be able to administrate, travel, and develop virtual programs and leaders to reach the kids and youth of our Nation!
The cause is great and after yesterday it is quite evident!! I am convinced that God's love in action, NOT religion, but love will bring change. I am fired up and ready to see clubs launch in schools all across the land during the second semester of this school year. Please be sure to join our Facebook page for short regular update.
In His Service,
Bob Heath

Glancing at the current ladder in the Major League Footy Florida Winter League 2016-'17 season, one sees the St. Pete Swans (1-0-0) lodged in third, trailing both the Suncoast Suns (3-0-0) and StarfishFC (2-1-0).
And, given the abbreviated schedule of the winter league season, that first glance might cause the casual observer to say perhaps it's time to focus on the 2017 USAFL season, just around the corner.
For the other sides in the club's intra-squad off-season circuit, doing so would be a mistake. Perhaps one fatal to their own hardware hopes.
The reasoning is actually quite simple: St. Pete firmly controls its own destiny as the winter schedule races toward the February 25 Championship Final. Win next week against the Pasco BlackDog (0-2-0), and the Swans move back into the ladder's second perch.
Win both remaining matches (February 11 and February 18) – and do so while passing the Suns' current 35-point scoring differential – and the Bloods wrap up the winter league's minor Premiership.
Ever since the 2016-'17 Florida Winter League season kicked off back in November, St. Pete has been buoyed by a resounding 48-point win over Orlando, and their +300 on percentages going into the season's final sprint bodes well – perhaps well enough for the side to be able to afford one loss over the next two matches, and still qualify for the Final.
That remains to be seen, but one thing's for certain: Win, and they're in.

Alan Schwartz reports on the labeling of waste and recycling bins at a local hospital. One is for "mixed paper"; another is for "Glass – plastic – aluminum. The third, a trash bin, is not labeled "trash" or "waste," however. Rather, it's a nice reminder to make sure you're not throwing out mixed paper, glass, plastic or aluminum.
Addendum: This photo is a nice example of what we'd like to post more of on our Twitter page.
Tired of residents spitting out chewing gum on the street, the city of Luton, England, came up with a way to hasten clean-up and give people an opportunity to voice their opinions on some of the city's most important questions. Well, the most entertaining questions, anyway.
The Gum Target does not seem to be in use anymore. Could your city use one?

This is why people dislike government. From the New York Times:
Threatened with steep fines if they dump too much trash, local governments around the country are imposing strict regimens to force residents to produce less and recycle more. Many now collect trash every other week, instead of every week. They restrict households to a limited amount of garbage, and refuse to pick up more. They require that garbage be put out only at strict times, reject whole boxes of recyclables that contain the odd non-recyclable item and employ enforcement officers who issue warnings and impose fines for failure to comply.
And when residents don't comply, a "sticker of shame" is affixed to a resident's garbage bin indicating a violation of garbage laws (ie. if a bin is left open). If governments are going to impose strict rules as a means to change behavior, they should create policies, technologies, or incentives to help people adapt. More rules, supported by harsher punishments, just anger citizens.

text: Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool for assessing the environmental impact of services or products. This project wants to explore the potential contribution of LCA for contaminated site management, via the comparison of several remediation strategies (excavation, phytoremediation and "do nothing" options) for soils contaminated by heavy metals. The study aims at identifying the main methodological gaps in modelling impacts at midpoint and endpoint levels and providing insights for filling in these gaps. In particular, emphasis is put on the impact of the site itself on the surrounding environment compared to remediation options. Excavation resulted to have the greater impact on the human health, while it is the smallest for the water ecosystem. Temporal and spatial dimension play a role in the evaluation of the damage. The results given by global and regional IMPACT2002 model are compared, and their allocation in short-term and long-term periods is shown with the introduction of the Stored Additional Impact (SAI), which goal is to help the comprehension of the outcome. The most important missing information in the method is the evaluation of the pollution impact on the contaminated site itself and its ecological and economical value after the management. To do this the combination of Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) and LCA is suggested. The conclusion is that LCA can bring additional information that contribute to the decision making process of site management. In particular, the "do nothing" scenario serves as a reference impact and helps deducing the real efficiency and utility of the other remediation processes.

I'll be placing here links once in a while of news items and blog posts that I find interesting and are related to visual communications.
If you have items you'd like to feature here - just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here goes:
- Garrett Smith asks if video conferencing is over-hyped on VoIP Insider - no it isn't. I'd say it is quieter out there than it should be.
- If you are new to video conferencing, then Carol Skyring has a good starting point for you - her Videoconferncing: The Basics. It comes as a new series of posts or an ebook.
- China Unicom is reported to have started a fixed line video telephony service - good luck!
- Jack Loftus brings a videophone concept from 1910 on Gizmodo - did anyone patent it?
- Michael Graves provides interesting information about immersive audio - not really video, but reminded me a lot of 3D video communications. It's in our future, but will take time to get there.

Roger Ray Responds
I posted it in the comment section of the post, but thought it was relevant enough to print his response at the top of our page.
Here's what he had to say:
This blog was brought to my attention recently. It contained two surprises for me. The first was that an interview I had given to a Kansas City resident about minimum wage issues was being used in a Democratic ad. I never have and never will endorse, contribute to or otherwise appear to take a partisan side in any political campaign for one party or the other or on behalf of any candidate.
I always speak only about issues which are of a religious and ethical nature. I'm sorry that the interviewer has taken the liberty of featuring me in a partisan ad. That was unethical and iladvised on his part. But possibly of more concern to me is that a "journalist" has taken this an opportunity to invite personal attacks against me. Even if you watch the ad you see that I did not endorse any candidate or party. I was speaking about poverty issues, as did the prophets, the apostles, Jesus and centuries of pastors and priests right up to such modern day notables as Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King and Gandhi. Somehow, rather than taking a journalist's interests in the issues which impact hundreds of millions of people.... the issues I was addressing, a KY3 reporter took a tabloid view of the world and said "economics, poverty, civil rights, social justice are all too complicated for our viewers, let's just see if we can gather up and slander a local pastor."
And that, I humbly submit, is not journalism. Rev. Dr. Roger L. Ray
Below is our previous post on Ray. Not sure what he means when he accuses me of a "tabloid view," and says I committed "slander." I simply reported what he said in an ad that a source pointed me to. In fact, most of the post is information taken directly from the group. But let me know what you think.
THURSDAY, SEPT. 14th POST
Roger Ray, the senior pastor at National Avenue Christian Church, is appearing in a new political ad by a group called Heartland Democrats of America. Ray has been a political figure in the area for years, delving into a variety of issues like gay marriage and the minimum wage.This group -- Heartland Democrats of America -- describes itself as a group of Democrats ultimately trying to win, "the values debate.""HDA champions strong Democratic values in Missouri and throughout America's Heartland. The era of the apologetic Democrat in middle America is being laid to rest forever - replaced by a unifying values message worthy of the hard-working people of middle America," according to the website. This is a group based out of Kansas City, Mo. Roger Ray is the featured speaker in the group's new ad campaign called "Vote your Values." Ray says the growing disparity between the rich and poor is the top political issue from a spiritual vantage point. Watch the entire ad HERE. Let us know what you think about the ad, and Roger Ray.

Many of Roger Ray's newspaper columns address neither religious nor ethical issues as he states in his response.
- PbBut said...
My guess is that Rev. Ray's objection is the pairing of his positions with a political party. Nearly all of us "locals" are aware of Rev. Ray's positions, but I've never seen or read where he endorsed a party. If a political group used film or an interview with a Catholic bishop endorsing the concept of sanctuary for illegal immigrants or an anti-abortion position, would you deem it political commentary or a position based on ethics or religion?
- Boyd said...
Well David who are your going to believe, Mr. Ray or your lying eyes?
- RepublicFamily said...
I've never read something from Roger Ray that was not political and he has been very careful to make his political views very clear. In most recently printed columns we learned that he things President Bush is the dumbest President ever, and that the minimum wage is an ethical issue that only Democrats support. For him to say he has not taken political positions is a laugh. In fact, I go to church with a couple who left Ray's church because they said the direction of that church and most of what Ray had to say was all a bunch of liberal, democratic politics.
Thanks for sharing his comments to you. That was the funniest thing I've read today.
- PbBut said...
You're right republicfamily, if Rev. Ray said that the minimum wage is a Democratic position, he's just plain wrong, and I'll take your word for it that he did. The fact is that over 70% of all Americans support an increase in the minimum wage, of course there are differences in how much and how fast, but it is a consensus position; except among elected officials. This is likely the most obvious example of the influence special interests have in the halls of Congress, both at the state and federal level. What common factor do the states showing the greatest economic have? They all have raised the minimum wage above the minimum.
- Citizenkan said...
I know how frustrating it is when one political party stakes a claim on ideals and beliefs that most all of us have in common. You know, things like patriotism, God, and moral values?
- PbBut said...
I guess I missed the subject a few days ago, but Bishop Leibrecht has a letter in the paper today (9/28) regarding stem cell research. Does this makes him a political figure?

Looks good Tony Z. Though I'm not a fan of the color yellow in general.ReplyDelete
Must have something to do with the fact that I was attacked by bees as a child.
I really had no intention of going with the yellow. While I was designing, I made everything different colors so I could see where the changes were happening (css is mystery to me, so it's always trial and error and see what happens). I knew I wanted a psuedo-primary colors look, thought. And somehow I ended up keeping the yellow as the background. I think I the "brightness" was just a nice change after years of black. I could change it, I guess. I kinda like it, but I'm not married to it.ReplyDelete
Are people allowed to marry colors?
Looks good, man - you can't go wrong with red and black.ReplyDelete
And if people could marry colours, which would you marry?
Tony...awesome new look...I love the new look with the Final Crisis covers and of course Donna still floating above. The yellow is a bit bright so early in the morning...but I will just wait till afternoon now LOLOLOL...Seriously...love the new look.ReplyDelete
Gary - I'd probably marry ultramarine. I just love that shade of blue!!ReplyDelete
NWW - Gosh, everyone is dogging on the yellow. I'm sure Scipio would appreciate it, LOL! Maybe I'll go back and take a look at toning it down... *sob* *snif*
Awwww Tony...I was only teasing with you...don't take my comment (this time) to heart. I actually do like the new design :) It makes the other colors pop.ReplyDelete

New book that collects Canadian album information and artwork in one place launches Indiegogo campaign
Mike Carr is an insanely big fan of Canadian music. Over the last few years, he's been working on a labour of love: a book highlighting album artwork and information from hundreds of Canadian albums over the years.
Called Rock My World Canada, Mike describes the book this way:
The series is designed as a compilation of the history of each musician or band as shown by the studio album releases and a short biography. This issue contains over 900 musical acts and over 3000 album covers from Canada's famous and not so famous musicians.
It's like going to the record store without going to the record store! The goal is for you to discover something new as you view the pages, a musical act you might have never heard of, but for some reason, that album cover has piqued your interest.
For reasons beyond my comprehension, no Canadian publisher wants to help Mike out, so he's so he can self-publish.
I've watched this book come together from the beginning and Mike's done a great job. Once it's published, it'll be an invaluable resource to collectors and anyone into Canadian music.
Here's a sample page.
If you can, throw a couple of bucks Mike's way. And if you know of anyone who would like to partner on this project (a publisher, a sponsor, etc.) let me know and I'll pass the information onto Mike.

How typically Canadian, oh it musn't be that good, and who would buy a book about Canadian Music? I would, and lots of other people of a certain generation. Good luck to him, and I will happily donate for his project to come to fruition!
I've been collecting Canadian album information for years, but I've just put the info on wikipedia.

Sometimes, when people feel restricted, they need someone to show them that life is inside of them, and that individuals can make all the difference in the world.
The movie presents David's fascination with the sitcom "Pleasantville" as a symptom of his yearning for a world where he won't have to deal with his parents' broken marriage, the threats of diseases, his potential future to end up as a failure. It ends up examining important issues of prejudice, rebellion, change and honor.
The author used contrast extremely effectively, from beginning to the very end of the film. At the start, David is portrayed as a nerd, while his sister on the other hand is shown as popular. This is the prime example of a character foil in the movie. Once they reach Pleasantville, the things that David and Jennifer experience are nothing alike to what they have ever done.
Another character foil is David's real mother and the one from Pleasantville. These two are complete opposites, but learn the same lesson, that life "is not supposed to be anything." The people themselves are contrasted to the real world, all of which are perfect. For David, the perfect world of Pleasantville is an escape from the harsh realities of his less-than-perfect life. With its white picket fences, wholesome family values, and stability, Pleasantville is a much more civilized alternative to the real world's economic upheaval, environmental turmoil, single-parent families, and bleak prospects for the future. The author also depicts extreme contrast changes through the world of color. Pleasantville has no emotion with everything always the same; that is until "Bud" and "Mary Sue" show them that life doesn't have to be monotonous and boring.

ANU research find Great Forests National Park a win for Victoria
Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have found the creation of a Great Forest National Park would deliver the best environmental and economic returns to Victoria from its Central Highlands.
They found the economic benefits of the native forests outweighed the economic benefits of native timber production from the tall, wet forests of the Central Highlands.
Lead researcher Dr Heather Keith from the ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society said changing forest management to conservation would be better economically, as well as for the environment.
"We used the international standard System of Environmental-Economic Accounting to understand the relationship of environmental and economic factors in the region," Dr Keith said.
"The current mix of benefits and costs, and potential trade-offs between land use activities, are revealed by the accounts. This allows policy makers to reconsider how the area is managed."
Dr Keith measured the value of native timber production as well as the impact of logging on water supply, climate abatement and threatened species. Part of the hydrological modelling, looking at water flows and water storage, took place using computational resources at NCI.
She found the forests are worth $12 million in native timber production each year. But the forests also contribute a national benefit worth $310 million for water supply, $312 million for agriculture, $260 million for tourism and potentially $49 million for carbon storage.
"The loss of the $12 million per year contributed by the native forest industry to the economy would be offset by increases in the value of water supply and carbon storage," she said.
Dr Keith said it was time government, industry and the public recognised changes to forest management would bring many benefits to the region.
The number of species classified as threatened in the study region grew from 28 in 2000 to 38 in 2015.
"The Central Highlands is home to unique flora and fauna and it's vital something is done before it's too late," she said.
"New policy settings are needed to achieve a strategy and finance to transition away from native forest harvesting in the region.
"The Australian Government needs to change regulations to allow native forests entry into the carbon market and needs to implement regular accounting to monitor progress and then adjust management strategies."
The research was supported by the Australian Government's National Environmental Science Programme.
The research has been published in Nature Ecology and Evolution.

bees dying, I warned you: Monsanto hates America
I applied to go to grad school in 1989 I wanted to critique genetic engineering within a History of Science context but was summarily rejected. I tried to warn the fuckers 20 years ago but the arrogant experts wouldn't listen as usual. And I'm sure they won't listen now.
But don't worry about GMO, nanotechnology is going to destroy everything.
yeah i heard about the bees over the weekend and it's fuked up
about the grad school thing-- what i dont understand is how you had your conclusions drawn before you even did your research-- that was probably hurdle #1 seems to me.
here another hypothesis, suggesting microwave radiation:
http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2007/03/06/millions_of_bees_die_are_electromagnetic_signals_t o_blame.htm
but we don't know yet--oh prophet!-- we really don't know what's the cause
Some warn that the disappearing bees are an omen of ecological disaster. Bees busily spread the pollinated seeds around everywhere they need to go.
(i read a story on metafilter related to this)
Killered Bees. The NYTimes covers the mysterious collapse of commercial honeybee colonies over the last 5-months, covering dozens of states. The disease, Colony Collapse Disorder, does not have a determined cause. The Canary Database indicates that bees can serve as "canaries in a coalmine" for human diseases, as many other animals do. Some of the suspected causative agents (as reported [pdf] by Penn State) include a immunodeficiency, the hive consumption of high-fructose corn syrup, nutritional stress, parasites, infectious diseases, stress due to colony splitting and relocation, insecticides, and antibiotic use. The die-offs are likely to adversely impact both prices and crop yields.

So, recent evidence shows it's due to some Monsanto-related eco-poisoning?
Unfortunately, it's not surprising really. Since Bush took office more corporations have been goinghog-wild polluting and ignoring laws. Principally at issue is that there is simply no incentive to obey the law. In the unlikely event that a corporation gets caught, they pay a fine that is less than it would cost to dispose of hazardous waste properly, so they are quite happy with the current situation. As many that are concerned remind, the laws are already in place, the problem is that there is little to no enforcement. You know, sort of like the immigration issue that has now come to a head because a vested interest has been facilitating a deliberate lack of enforcement for over a generation now.
Well I had an agenda! seemed obvious the same people who gave us the EPA Supersites were also going to give us (while promising utopia as usual) some kind of genetically engineered disaster and it looks like the bees will be it.
For years organic gardeners used a kind of bacteria as a pesticide of last resort, but good old Monsanto decided to graft the bacteria DNA directly into the plant DNA so the plant produces the toxins the bacteria did. So the bees are eating the pollen from these plants and the pollen has spread out of the experimental gardens. This is only important because most all of our food requires bees to pollinate it. most of the readership on this site has already returned to ther Xbox.
see man i know im coming across as shooting you down but i think this are superimportant issues and the sensasionalistic style does not help.
if you put "monsanto hates america" on your headline i run for my tinfoil hat.
the bacteria you're talking about is the bacillus thuringiensis yes, and monsanto are a bunch of stupid fucks, but i plead with you to keep your reasoning clear because otherwise you discredit the validity of the whole issue in the 1st place.
we currently have no proof what the fuck is going on, but this a major ecological disaster whose consequences we haven't yet reaped.
if you put "bees are dying, get ready for famines" it would still be sensasionalistic but at least would make a lot more sense.
well when all the bees are dead, and you'll see how we begged for someone to prevent monsanto to release this shit into the environment - then you know its true: this corporation hates us. Monsanto needs to be nailed for this.
Of course, it could be particles from the chemtrails...but since scientists have known since 2005 this could happen, yet monsanto went ahead anyway. Whats next? Just gmo with human genes in it. You'll never know if you're a cannibal or not! Its not like the govt is going to protect you.
if you read down the page most people seem to be saying it's the pesticides and not geneticly modified crops that are killing the bees
after i thought about this i figured that he does have a point though-- if only hypothetically-- that it could be the pesticides grafted into the genetic code of plants that's doing the bulk of the killing.
but the problem is that he already knows!!
anyway, i've been thinking about this during the afternoon. it's eerie-- reminds me of that wonderful don de lillo's novel, white noise.
yeah it could be that, but at this point it's still all speculative
ummm grow your own food, stop buying packaged products. there have and always will be issues such as this, remember DDT, subharmonic weapons testing in panama, the casini space probe and on and on and on, our so called free western nations are no more free them communist nations it just appears like it on the surface, how much free will do you really have???
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/24/science/24bees.html?ei=5124&en=45d47549c4f788cd&ex=1335153 600&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink&pagewanted= print
So far, the researchers have discounted the possibility that poor diet alone could be responsible for the widespread losses. They have also set aside for now the possibility that the cause could be bees feeding from a commonly used genetically modified crop, Bt corn, because the symptoms typically associated with toxins, such as blood poisoning, are not showing up in the affected bees. But researchers emphasized today that feeding supplements produced from genetically modified crops, such as high-fructose corn syrup, need to be studied.
I'm not trying to downplay the seriousness of missing bees here, but there are some major issues with claiming that GM crops are responsible. Much more research would need to be done to test this hypothesis, especially since several reputable scientific publications have provided evidence to the contrary.
Several studies indicate that Bt corn is not connected to Colony Collapse Disorder or any other dying insect problems.
For example, the Journal of Apicultural Research published a study in 2003 that tested two types of Bt corn pollen, CrylA(b) and CrylF, on honeybee larvae. The study observed no significant differences between the transgenic pollen and the non-transgenic pollen on bees fed a dose of 1.5 mg/larva of pollen. The EPA published a "Biopesticides Registration Action Document" in 2005 which reviewed research on Bt corn pollen, Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1, which found no abnormalities in honeybee larvae fed 2 mg/larva of pollen.
In 2001 the scientific journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published six comprehensive studies that showed that Bt corn pollen does not pose a risk to monarch populations for the following reasons:
The density of Bt corn pollen that overlay milkweed leaves in the environment rarely comes close to the levels needed to harm monarch butterflies. Both laboratory and field studies confirmed this.
There is limited overlap between the period that Bt corn sheds pollen and when caterpillars are present.
Only a portion of the monarch caterpillar population feeds on milkweeds in and near cornfields.
(Sears, et al., 2001)
Three other problems:
1) Bees only collect a very small percentage of pollen from corn.
2) I believe the Bt protein used in corn is specific for lepidopteran insects so is not toxic to bees.
3) The supposed toxins in GM crops would not have immediate lethal effects, yet dead bees are not being found in hives, suggesting that they are dying in the fields.
The major thing here is that, as !@#$% said, we don't know the cause of CCD. At this point anything connecting GM crops or cell phone use to disapperaing bees is pure speculation. Another example is a claim that climate change may be causing bees to disappear, could be true, but for now it's only speculation. So spare me the "Monsanto hates America" bullshit and try getting your information from scientific publications rather than newspapers.
^^^ brilliant post! thank you. the paper article was interesting too, it goes into further detail about pesticides banned i france, etc., but again, the paper also says scientists don't know the cause yet.
No need to be a snit, thats why I posted the followup. You see, I WANT the answer, I'm not stuck on any agenda. However, there are some studies from Europe that have shown an effect on insects. I noticed the test you mention seem to be about monarch caterpillars and may not be analogous to the bees. Monarch larva eat milkweed leaves. The bees eat pollen of genetically engineered corn, corn engineered to be deadly to insects. But I will stand by my statements that Monsanto are evil and they do hate this country. They want a different america where they own all the genetic information and they get a royalty for every seed planted. And you will go to jail if you try to save any seeds. And god forbid Monsanto's shit should drift in the wind and infect your fields - Monsanto will sue you and win. Its your fault their pollen drifted onto your land. Its happened a bunch of times.
To be honest, putting your faith in scientific journals can be as sketchy as the newspapers - science and media are all run by the same corporatists.
yes man you changed your mind but i have to ask the question, do you only believe those who confirm your paranoid suspicions?
science, in spite of all its flaws and all the flaws of scientifice institutions, is still one of the best tools we have for pursuing the truth. outside of that we have what-- political expediency and superstition?
ps i agree nature scene got a bit unnecessarily irritated in the end, but his points stand very well regardless.
Apologies if I got irritated, but the fact of the matter is that you did seem to have an agenda, and had your conclusions drawn before even attempting to explore the topic further. Only one of the studies I mentioned dealt with caterpillars and butterflies, which although it does not reflect directly on the bee situation, does point out that GM crops are not necessarily harmful. Meanwhile, you're ignoring the studies I mentioned about Bt corn and bees. I don't need to list the facts that I've already mentioned above.
You can stand by your statements about Monsanto. I know about the seed royalty thing, and yeah Monsanto sucks, but that has nothing to do with bees. On the genetic patenting and stuff, has anyone here read Next by Michael Crichton?
tesla is my man. thumbs up. this whole thing is eerie to say the least, probably a sign of times.
Monsanto made agent orange, and this dangerous hormone they put in dairy cows. True stuff.
yes, they are total pricks, no doubt. but that's a different issue. it is!
This link suggests it might be the severe sunspot activity...
I also wonder if the shifting of the magnetic poles migth be involved.
I still think we'll see severe results from Monsanto's godplaying, but if not, I won't complain. Nature Scene, there are also studies that contradict the "everything is fine" results of the studies you pointed out...I haven't taken the time to see which are sponsored by Monsanto/EPA vs independent/nonUS corporates studies, and critiques of said studies. Obviously, I have little faith or trust in the former.
%#@$^&* (Sic) wrote: "yes man you changed your mind but i have to ask the question, do you only believe those who confirm your paranoid suspicions? " Doesn't what you wrote just contradict itself? And I'm sorry you think I'm 'paranoid" (why not just call me a commie or fag or some other name to make you feel more safe or whatever reason you have for namecalling?) You see, I've been right enough times to know I'm not paranoid. Its not liek I inbvented the information. I didn't invent the act that the US tested radioactive material on pregnant women, or allowed black men with syphilis to go untreated for 40 years while they were being monitored, or conducted biological warfare experiements on San Francisco and in New York etc. It wasn't me who set up fake brothels in San Francisco and then dosed the customers with LSD to see what would happen. This stuff is real. Why is it paranoid to understand this history? I'd suggest it seems that way because you have been totally brainwashed. Anything that doesn't get approved by the Corporates is "paranoid". I'm sorry - to all of you - but the world is a place run by people with their private conflicting agendas and many of those so-called people are out to kill you and eat your children. You are the fuel for the machine. You can call me paranoid, but who has the finger on the 5,000 nuclear bombs currently aimed at the planet? I'm paranoid?!! HA!! I've barely touched the subject with you ppl...

I love this recipe because it makes a lot of yummy beans that can be separated into several other recipes. I do occasionally use canned beans from Trader Joes, but I don't really like canned foods in general and so using rehydrated beans is ideal for this family. After you've eaten some of these great beans as a side to one of your great Mexican meals (or any meal), portion the rest and use as refried beans, bean mash, or a staple in a soup. You can never go wrong with beans 🙂 Best of all, these are Gluten Free. AND you can make just about any dried bean this way.
3 cups filtered water or broth
1 T sea salt (only half if using broth)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 T all-purpose herb seasoning
1. The day before you plan to serve the beans you need to devote to rehydrating them. The easiest way to do that is to place the beans and 6-8 cups of warm water into a pot (or the removable ceramic crock pot from its base) and allow to sit overnight. *Make sure you've washed the beans and checked for debris. Cover with lid and leave them for 8-12 hours.
2. If you have planned far enough ahead it would be beneficial to rinse the beans the next day and do another soak- after rinsing again and cleaning off the scummy water, but if you don't have the time they will still come out just fine. In fact I forgot all about my beans and they soaked for two days in the same water- all was well.
3. In your crock pot (now in its base), turn the heat on medium if you have it, if not, on high, add in the beans, the fresh water or broth, the herbs and spices, salt and garlic, and let cook for 7-8 hours or until the beans are at the desired softness.
Eat as a side to any meal; mash 'em, refry 'em, or leave them whole, or add them to a soup 🙂
Keep portions in your freezer for a healthy, quick alternative to canned beans, and as a protein source.

i violated rule number one, fell into temptation, couldn't resist, the cardinal sin, the fail of all fails. yep. i cheated.
i ate a piece of cake, that wasn't even remotely close to being vegan. like in order to make it vegan, it would have been stripped of all it's creamy, fluffy, sugary, milky, cakey goodness that it was and it would have been left as a pile of weird…flour. not even flour…dust.
hello, my name is hypocrite. nice to meet you.
i've talked about my vegan-ness here and again there and all of the recipes right here are also vegan. and if you read through those posts, you'll notice that my daydream was usually about pizza. so even i surprised myself with my inhumane, inhaling of this cake. and a quick apology to my coworkers who probably thought i turned into some beast as i snorted and shoveled food into my mouth. ugh.
i'm shaking my head in disappointment right now.
lemon cake is my jam. but. did it satisy me? nope. did it taste good? no! sub-par at best….do i want to eat it again? nah…this whole guilt thing is not the business. not to mention i've been on a work out binge and this is a slight set back in the "wanting to see results department". my little moment of weakness puts me in between there and the "pants don't fit ya" department.
stupid bastard lemon cake.
point of this is, you're going to have ups and downs. and you're going to eff up every now and again. but it's what you do after that slip up, that really defines who you are and where you stand with your lifestyle. no one is perfect. we all have moments.
what did i do after my moment of weakness? well. to be honest. i had three more moments of weakness. don't judge me.
maybe, when life gives you lemon cake, don't eat it.
love x,
skinny ginger

At Themes & Flowers, we appreciate creative elements of versatility. When we look at the shelves in our warehouses and see our votives, vases and containers, we do no not pigeonhole them into a particular look or theme. Instead, we imagine how they can add an industrial or glamorous or rustic element to a vision. We don't rely on how they were used in previous events, but how they can add something fresh and unique for each client. As you can see in the above photos, we love using the same vase to bring structure and flare to a wide array of themes, from nautical to graffiti!
One of the themes that has gained popularity is the "industrial" look. We love this trend and enjoy using a mixture of wire, metal and stone elements to add an industrial vibe to any given theme (and also add some great texture to the design).
To the left are three different examples of our designs using a test tube/ wire vase. We want to share with you the versatility of our pieces and hopefully provide some inspiration for your next corporate event!
It was initially used for an event that wanted hints of scientific elements in the centerpieces in order to pay tribute to the guest speaker who was a scientist. We paired the vase with small science beakers in different shapes and sizes to play off of the test tubes in the center.
During the holiday season we helped to design a modern look with orange hues and metallic accents. In this case, the test tube centers added height to the grouping and helped play up the metallic elements. Unlike the science theme, that used a mixture of colored florals and had a wildflower feel, this event focused on one color with a poignant contemporary vibe.
The most recent event that we used this industrial vase for was an "Industrial Nautical" event. It was an awesome fusion of oceanic elements with stone and metal accents. We thoroughly enjoyed designing for this unique twist on two familiar themes. The addition of wire, metal and stone to the sand and shells really brought this vision to life!
Take a look at some photos that showcase these different themes. We hope you are inspired to take these industrial elements and put your own twist on them for your clients!

This an image of Break (1984), in the collection of Parliament House, Canberra, one of many painted depictions by Mandy Martin from around that time, of massive industrial forms (Yallourn Power Station; Port Kembla, Outer Harbour; E.Z. Works) amid the natural environment.
When Martin's Red Ochre Cove (1988) was chosen as the image of influence for the Main Committee Room of the Australian Parliament, Canberra, it seemed to this regarder a curious choice.
Now, as the Abbott government prepares to remove the so-called carbon tax, and today as the massive coal miner Clive Palmer declares his PUP will vote in the Senate against the Abbott Government's 'Direct Action' plan (the so-called carbon reduction alternative), that image in that place appears timely right.

Introducing ember-component-showcase
Wombat Security Technologies is open sourcing an ember addon for providing better documentation for your ember components. Check it out here.
A note about documentation
An often missed detail of successful documentation is maintaining it to stay current with your implementation. To this end developers have invented a great many inline documentation tools and utilities to allow them to update documentation in the same places that they change their code. However, Ember's component implementations require an additional level of explanation outside the component itself code for how to invoke and configure an example component. This layer is often documented as an 'example snippet' of HBS code that is completely static and separate from the component's invocation on the page.
The reason for this is because ember's template compiler doesn't leave any scraps of pre-compiled HBS source laying around for reuse. This optimization's purpose for template compilation makes total sense but leaves us scratching our heads about how to show the uncompiled source for our components in an example snippet without unneeded duplication. What we really want is to just write our example component once, and have that example serve as the same source for our HBS snippet.
Finally there is a solution to this documentation problem: ember-component-showcase!
Inspired by ember-freestyle's live style guide addon, but implemented as a radically simpler and less opinionated documentation component. We use this component internally at Wombat to document our own style guide components, and now we are open sourcing this utility to the community. The default styling on the showcase samples are intentionally minimalistic so it will work with most style frameworks or your own internal CSS/SCSS.
Basic Usage
The easiest way to use the component is to simply wrap the content you want make an example for in the
component-showcase component. This will create a 'showcase' for your component and will automatically parse out the HBS markup that was used to invoke it.
By providing a 'title' string and a 'description' string to the component, you can qualify the showcase example and provide context for how to use it.
These showcase samples can be linked to by using the 'link' anchor in the top right. Using this feature requires importing the
anchor-scroll mixin into your application controller.
However many components can be more complicated than this simple usage covers, for this we have extended customization options available as well.
Advanced Usage
If you have a more complicated component that involves properties configured via a route or controller you may want a better way to exhibit those relationships in your showcase as well. To that end ember-component-showcase has an advanced block syntax option that allows you to expand your control of the presentation of your sample component.
We can take this to the next level by even including extra source tabs for additional documentation outside of the HBS markup. Simply pass extra tabs through the array helper into the
source sub-component.
You can also enable the raw HTML compiled source by passing
hideHTML=false to the
source sub-component.
Next steps
We still have a few things that need to be resolved in this addon before everything is totally in working order as I would expect. As is usually the case with new addons we need to beef up our testing to make sure we are covering more integration scenarios. This is a little trickier than it would usually be when testing a component because of the nature of our component relying on ember's template compiler.
We also have to implement a template caching strategy. Currently there is a warning when using this addon that informs you that template caching is currently disabled. This is due to the hooks into the compiler being implemented without any clear way to tell ember when a compiled file should be invalidated. This doesn't have a huge impact in terms of performance for most ember applications, but obviously is an optimization worth landing in the near future.
Finally we have big plans for expanding support for using inline documentation tools with this component. We originally prototyped this to work with Yuidoc using a manual task runner to generate a documentation collection, which could then be linked to a specific showcase via a namespace. Ultimately this approach is tremendously useful, but it would be even more so if we could leverage tools like ember-cli-yuidoc.

Spastic Constipation
( Originally Published 1940 )
A person with spastic constipation usually has irregular bowel evacuations. For a few weeks the bowel may move regularly every day or every second day. Then a change in the rhythm occurs and evacuations appear once in three days, or even once a week, followed by evacuations occurring five to ten times a day. When the stools are infrequent, they are often like pellets and may be covered with slime or mucus. Between stool evacuations there may be passage of mucus. When the evacuations are frequent, the stools are watery and may be mixed with mucus.
In spastic constipation there are, as a rule, pains in the abdomen and attacks of gas and distention, associated with fatigue and emotional disturbances. Careful physical examination of a person troubled by spastic constipation will generally yield no evidence of an organic disorder. The person may be underweight and nervous, and the abdomen may be sensitive to the pressure of the doctor's hands, but no further disturbances are obvious. X-ray examination of the digestive tract shows that the colon is in a state of spasm-parts or all of the colon are contracted so that the passageway is reduced. The colon is in a condition of marked irritability, abnormally sensitive to the slightest stimulation. It is for this reason that the condition of spastic constipation has also been termed "irritable colon." Both terms, however, are unsatisfactory, since they refer solely to the state of the colon, which is only one of the organs affected. Spastic constipation or "irritable colon" is really a nervous disorder in which the colon acts as a barometer of nervous changes. The key to the understanding of this condition is the whole pattern of emotional reactions that make up the individual personality.
It is in the direction of personality studies that we must look for the solution of the problem of spastic constipation. The most promising work is being done where physicians are working in cooperation with psychiatrists. The physician selects the cases to be studied and makes certain that no organic disease is present. The psychiatrist then evaluates the personality of the patient, finds out what are his particular problems, and tries to discover the causes and methods of operation of the emotional reactions. By such cooperative work the patient is enabled to have a better insight into his own personality and to understand the causes of many of his symptoms. He begins to appreciate that the constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain are not simply symptoms of a disorder of the colon, but rather that they are a dramatic way in which one organ, the-c, expresses his general nervous instability and irritability.
Doctors are beginning to see that the interaction of environment and personality has a special importance in the development of spastic constipation and other nervous disorders, that social conditions have a powerful influence on the behavior of people. Living and working conditions can determine whether a person who has a tendency to spastic constipation or some other nervous disorder will be acutely troubled by the disorder or relatively, free of symptoms. Where there is economic security and an opportunity for normal satisfaction of the instincts and desires, there are fewer cases of functional nervous disorders. But where social and economic conditions breed anxiety and frustration, there are more and severer cases of functional nervous disorders.
Treatment must not be directed solely toward bowel hygiene or the prescription of a laxative drug. The personality of the patient must also be studied, and the anxieties and frustrations of modern life must be considered and solved, so far as possible.
Laxatives and cathartics should be avoided. The intestine, like the nervous system, is in a state of irritability and very sensitive to the effect of stimulants. Just as when the hand is inflamed one would never think of bumping it against a hard surface, so one must not irritate the already irritated colon by taking a laxative. The only exception, perhaps, is the salt-water drink or agar. The latter, as de-scribed in Chapter XIII, is bland and non-irritating and may be taken in 2- to 4-teaspoonful doses daily. Mineral oil is generally unsatisfactory because of the tendency to leakage and formation of gas, although some people with spastic constipation find it helpful.
The diet should be well balanced, adequate and tasty. It should also be free, to a large extent, of irritating bulk or roughage. The digestive tract is in a state of irritability—or nervousness, if you. will—and must be spared the work or irritation that a bulk-producing diet imposes. A smooth diet is the best. This does not mean only milk and toast. Milk occasionally causes "indigestion," and there are some people who can't drink a glass of it without getting an attack of gas, abdominal cramps or diarrhea. There are a great many other foods available that are smooth and healthful. The following are some of the instructions that Dr. Walter C. Alvarez of the Mayo Clinic has found useful in the dietary treatment of patients with spastic constipation:
"This [smooth] diet is based not only on practical experience, but on a number of scientific principles. We have no ferment in our digestive tracts to dissolve cellulose, that is, the fibrous part of vegetables and fruits. Most of this material is quite indigestible, and if we eat much of it we throw a heavy burden on the bowel. This fiber interferes with the digestion of starches and predisposes to flatulence [gas].
"If there happen to be narrow or irritated places in the bowel, or kinks and adhesions, the fiber may cause clogging and back pressure. The ideal diet in such conditions is one which leaves only a small liquid residue which can trickle past the obstructions; in this way it will often give prompt relief. This smooth diet is indicated also when the bowel is irritated, overly active, and responsive to every stimulus.
"It should be tried out faithfully at first and then if it works well, other foods may be experimented with, one at a time. You may have learned by experience that some of the foods allowed on this list are hurtful to you; in that case
`If you are to give this diet a fair trial, eat no coarse foods' w h fiber, skins, seeds, or gristle. Avoid particularly salads with celery, tomatoes, cucumbers and pineapple, many of the green vegetables, raisins, berries, jams full of seeds, nuts, and many of the raw fruits (pineapple, apple, plums). Beans, cabbage, onions, green or red peppers, melons, cucumbers, and peanuts are notoriously gassy. If you are living in a boarding house you can stick to this diet by simply avoiding the for-bidden foods and eating more of the digestible ones which are put before you.
"Avoid sugar in concentrated form and take no candy or other food between meals. Hot cakes and waffles might not be bad if they were not eaten with so much syrup. Fried foods are not bad if they are properly fried, that is, totally immersed in fat at the right temperature. Avoid eating when in a rush and when mentally upset. Family rows should take place away from the table. Chewing gum may cause distress, as much air is swallowed with the saliva. Digestion is greatly helped by a good chewing surface. If there are any gaps in your teeth have your dentist fill them with bridges...."
It should be remembered that diet is not the be-all and end-all in treatment of spastic constipation. It is only a part of the treatment, the purpose of which is to minimize the shocks that the body has to bear in daily life. A smooth diet simply makes the work of the digestive tract easier. However, no matter how smooth the diet, if the nerves are frayed every day by the shocks of difficult living, the colon as well as the other organs may react with various symptoms. A proper diet is simply a useful adjunct to the broad program of treatment that attempts to adjust the personality difficulties and ease the environmental stresses.

The Los Angeles Marathon is this Sunday, March 17, 2013. Thanks to social media, there are a variety of apps runners can use to keep their friends and family posted on their progress.
1. The Marathon Tracking Chip
"The marathon has a tracking chip which you can connect to Facebook and your wall would be updated with the major milestones: 5k, 10k, half, 30k, etc.," explains previous marathon runner Tricia Barreiro. "What would be cool is if the chip tracker technology can do the checking in for you, like when you run by the Disney Concert Hall or Rodeo Drive, and post it to your social feeds automatically."
The tracking chip is just the tip of the iceberg. While the marathon tracking-chip technology is not all-encompassing, there are many other social media options already available.
As a spectator, part of the fun of the marathon is supporting your friends. If you are in the Los Angeles area – along the route or waiting at the starting finish line – you can use these apps to find your friends who are running and give them high fives and hugs. And, if you are remote, you can get caught up in the excitement through their social sharing, and cheer them on via texts, posts, comments, and more.
Here are some more of the tools runners are using – and sites fans and friends can check – during the LA Marathon.
2. Instagram, 3. Twitter, and 4. Find My Friends: "While I usually don't even have my phone while I run, I am actually planning to take it this year to take photos, and use Instagram and Twitter," explains Traci Coulter. This is her first LA Marathon; she has done the New York Marathon twice.
"My friends and I are also using Find My Friends, as well as the marathon tracker they provide. We use it a lot during races so we can find people at the finish – and a bunch of my friends plan to use it to track me because it gives you my location in real time unlike the tracker for the marathon that only sends the splits.
"I feel like using photos and tweets will make the day fun (and hopefully) easier," she adds.
5. Foursquare: "I'll be running and Foursquaring along the way!" says Ross Prout. This is his sixth marathon and second time running the LA Marathon. "It's the best app for landmarking on the go and can include some pics too. When I ran it a few years back, Foursquare gave me the "Overshare Badge."
"Admittedly the checkins are flybys," Prout continues, "but the platform allows more user-control of where and when to check in, the ability to cross platform on FB/Twitter with pictures, and gives the follower an identifiable landmark in the progress of the course."
6. Facebook, 7. Endomondo and 8. Support Your Marathoner: "I'm using Facebook to track and post my progress throughout the course," says Robin Warfel, who is running her first full marathon on Sunday. She is also using Endomondo. "It's a running app you can connect to various social networking sites to post updates.
"I'm mixing that up with Support Your Marathoner, which is another cool app which allows friends to write motivational messages which will be displayed along the course."
Best of luck to all of this year's runners!
