Review: Tom Trago The Light Fantastic
Tom Trago is the kind of producer who's unafraid to mix things up stylistically. Over the past few years, his discography has included a surprising degree of variation, especially considering he's most known for his explosive, sample-based disco-house material. Nowhere has this diversity been more apparent than on his albums, which, though cohesive as works on their own, have served as a way for him to stretch out and show off the extent of his interests. His latest LP, The Light Fantastic, is his third so far, and while it's billed as a return to the more focused rootsy dancefloor divaism of his 2009 debut, Voyage Direct, in actuality, it might be his most eclectic effort yet.

#12: Jeremy Lamb
With the 12th pick in the 2012 draft the Houston Rockets Select University of Connecticut shooting guard Jeremy Lamb.
The Rockets defied most predictions by selecting a scoring guard instead of going big. Houston has been searching for a center since Yao Ming retired, but instead of drafting Tyler Zeller or John Henson out of North Carolina, the Rockets selected what they believe is the best player on the board in Lamb.
"I can stretch the floor," Lamb stated. "I can add scoring, and also on the defensive ends, on the rebound, get deflection and get the break; find a couple of guys that I can look up to; ask questions; learn from them. So being able to go to a good organization is huge."
Lamb measured in at 6'5.25'' and 179 pounds. Lamb is considered one of the top shooters in the draft and has often been compared to another UCONN alumni, Ray Allen. Last season Lamb averaged over 17 points per game on better than 47% shooting from the field and 81% shooting from the free throw line.
Lamb's shooting will help open driving lanes for his teammates and he should be able to step in and contribute for the Rockets immediately. Lamb does need to bulk up though if he hopes to guard starting caliber shooting guards in the NBA. Lamb has a 6'11'' wingspan and a 38'' vertical leap, so he has the athleticism to be an elite defender, but he has to add muscle if he doesn't want to be pushed around by the bigger shooting guards.
Picking Lamb also means it's possible the Rockets are looking to move Kevin Martin. Lamb and Martin play the same position and it's unlikely the Rockets would have traded up to the 12th pick for a player they were planning on bringing off the bench. Look for the Rockets to continue being very aggressive in their attempts to re-shape their roster.
"I am ready to go work hard," Lamb concluded. "I'm not going to go and settle, I'm going to go there and be ready to work hard and do what it takes."

EDMONTON - Dumping illegal items at the city's recycling depots — everything from animal carcasses to mattresses covered in bed bugs — has become an increasing problem, city staff say.
The city's waste management services has collected 266 tonnes of illegally dumped material this year, including fridges, furniture, construction materials and garbage. The fine for doing so is $250.
On Monday at around 3 p.m., city staff finished clearing a pile of junk that had accumulated at the recycling depot behind the Canadian Tire at Mill Woods Town Centre. By 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, a new pile of garbage had formed, including mattresses, camping chairs, a high chair, car seat, toys and a sink.
"We're very concerned because it's so frequent, it becomes an accepted norm and certainly it's not the proper avenue for that," Chris Fowler, general supervisor of the city's waste drop-off services, said Tuesday.
The city's 20 recycling depots are designated for paper, cardboard, plastic containers, glass jars, cans and plastic bags alone. Items such as home appliances and household hazardous waste should be brought to an Eco Station, the Edmonton Waste Management Centre or a big bin event.
Keeping tabs on the recycling depots has become part of the peace officer unit's everyday patrols, supervisor Grant Blaine said. When they can't catch people in the act, they rely on surveillance videos and licence plate numbers called into 311.
While Blaine can't say how many fines his unit has issued for illegal dumping this year — several offences fall under the Community Standards Bylaw which is how it's recorded in the database — he did say the unit deals with "these types of situations weekly. We have issued quite a few tickets for dumping … and we'll probably continue to do so throughout the year."
Eric Lewis, a foreman who oversees the staff who clean the recycling depots, said in his three years working for waste services, the amount of illegally dumped material has increased. "More people are seeing this at the depot so they figure it's OK to dump it here. If you were to come to a depot and see this large pile here, you wouldn't think anything was wrong with throwing stuff here too."
He and his workers have found the stuff of nightmares at the recycling depots, including moose legs, rifles and ammunition, a dead poodle, bags of feces, pails of sewage, an animal stomach frozen to the side of a bin, food garbage covered with maggots and a stack of 12 mattresses swarming with bed bugs.
"Anything you can think of we've probably found it at some point," said Mike Jaycock, a seasonal depot attendant.
Illegal dumping is not only something the city has to deal with, but it's also an ongoing challenge for organizations like Goodwill Donation Centres.
Dale Monaghan, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Alberta, said it costs the organization tens of thousands of dollars a year to clean up, sort and transport donations that are actually garbage to the landfill or Eco Station.
"With more stuff coming, is it a reflection of greater generosity with a lack of understanding? Or is it a trend toward people feeling, 'Well, I don't have the time to take care of this so I hope somebody else does?'" Monaghan said.
At least one of the 21 donation centres in Alberta receives illegally dumped goods every single night that Goodwill is then accountable for.
"We have to work with partners like the City of Edmonton, like Habitat for Humanity, to help the community better understand that their generosity, if not done optimally, can have a small downside."

I play both the Powerplay on Powerball and the Megaplier on MegaMillions on all my tickets.
I only play two lines on each game so it's not a big expense. If I played a lot of lines I might reconsider.
But as others said, I consider the extra buck for a different game with a 2 million dollar prize on Powerball and a 1 million dollar prize on MegaMillions.
And it makes the difference between 10k and 40k if you get 4 numbers and the Powerball and a possibility for the same on MM if you get 4 numbers and the Megaball.
It's worth the extra buck to me.
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship." -Tytler
if any one like to spend 1 dollar extra
play powerplay are better add
because they only have 35 number on the powerball
more change to win the second prize
That is a very good point, now that Im only playing 2 lines it is a good idea BUT I play 10 draws at a time and it makes a $20 MM ticket $40. and with that extra $20. I could pay for half of the PB ticket playing 2 lines.
So the cost is either $60. every 5 week or $100. every 5 weeks.
And the extra $40. could cause me give up to quit playing, so it is not worth it to me.
I play mega and powerball with the multipliers on them because I want the most prize for my dollar. Since you will not always win the jackpot when your numbers come up it is nice to have the extra money from the multipliers then just the base prize for your win.-weshar75
Yeah, it comes down to what you want to spend at one time.
I play a month at a time on PB and MM, two lines each, one birthdays and one QP.
That came to $54 for PB with Powerplay and $36 for MM with Megaplier for this month
That comes to $90 total for both games for the month and that's acceptable for me.
And I don't buy any extra tickets unless I get lower tier wins.
I look at this way; which prize am I most likely to win and that's matching the bonus number or 1 + 1 and since I can't buy another ticket for a $1, using Powerplay is a no brainer. With your method any PB hit you get will cover a week's worth of play on both games and still have a chance at winning $1 million in all 4 drawings.
You do understand that the reason they want to "bonus ball" you for an extra dollar, is because they make millions more that way?? I'm going for the JP and any other prize I may win is a "consolation" prize and I will take whatever it happens to be. (if any)

Hope Mills commissioners were right to impose a building moratorium within the downtown historic area. If you're going to keep a historic district, hanging a sign won't do it; you have to defend it.
The town recently discovered that its district, National Register status notwithstanding, was not adequately protected when the town attorney reported that the board had no authority to reject a metal storage building that met the town's zoning standards.
A moratorium is of course a blunt instrument, so the commissioners intend to create a historic properties commission to help them guide growth rather than merely switch it on and off. That's smart (as was a separate decision to install speed bumps on historic Trade Street).
A quick scan of the region could be of help as they decide what to do next. The recent history of the Hotel Prince Charles in Fayetteville and the current dust-up over Pinehurst's historic Village Green could provide useful lessons:
Choose people who know their subject.
Make sure they understand their mission and their discretion.
Make sure the entire board and Hope Mills residents understand the mission, too.
Back them up when development opportunity comes knocking, whether it's wearing a smile and asking nicely for one teeny-weeny accommodation or waving money, throwing its weight around and demanding that the rule book go out the window.
Hope Mills is poised for a good start.

As we noted in a post last week, RTT is highlighting papers and presentations from the Miller Center's Recasting Presidential History conference in October that point to the rich opportunities for conservation between political history, social and cultural history and the presidency. One such presentation worth highlighting is that delivered by Grace Elizabeth Hale, a professor of History and American Studies at the University of Virginia. Her presentation, "Outsider in Chief: Presidents and the Politics of Authenticity and Emotion," traces the cultural development of the President's outsider persona. Observers of contemporary American politics need only look at each new batch of Republican primary candidates to witness the irony of individuals attempting to become the foremost political insider--while all simultaneously claiming to be outside the fray. Hale traces this proclivity to the desire to appear "real" before the electorate, while showing how presidents like Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush have touted their own outsider credentials. Her presentation invites us to consider the cultural roots of their presidential authenticity (or lack thereof).
Riding The Tiger
"I discovered that being a President is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed." Harry S. TrumanEach week leading up to President Obama's second inauguration, which will take place on January 21, 2013, RTT is featuring an inaugural address by a president from the Miller Center's archives.
The Inaugural Address of William "Old Tippecanoe" Harrison is possibly the most popular and least examined speech of its kind. The story of the address is one of the best (and most morbid) jokes in presidential history: an elderly president, in an attempt to display his youthful stamina, gives an inaugural speech nearly twice as long as any other, catches pneumonia during the address and subsequently dies. Setting aside the fact that it was probably not much of a side-splitter at the time, this post is my attempt to unearth some of the lost substance of Harrison's speech.
The most obvious attribute of Harrison's Inaugural is its length. The speech is well over 8,000 words – double that of any other. Harrison's predecessor, Martin Van Buren, gave a speech of 3,800 words. Andrew Jackson, in his second inaugural address, managed only 1,100 words. Contemporary presidents typically give speeches in the 2,000-3,000-word range. Lincoln's Second Inaugural, arguably the most examined in history, was only 700 words. So, what message did Old Tippecanoe need 8,000 words to convey?
Harrison took the opportunity to lay out a framework for a more limited presidency – one that scaled back the "monarchical" tendencies of Jacksonian Democracy.
In October, the Miller Center hosted a two-day conference on "Recasting Presidential History." The conference sought to jump start a new generation of scholarship about the presidency, capitalizing on key insights of leading scholars, many of whom have not concentrated on the presidency but rather conducted path-breaking work in subdisciplines ranging from cultural to social history. The conference also sought to extend interest in the presidency from presidential historians and senior scholars to a to a broader range of historians just embarking on their careers.
Over the next couple weeks, RTT will highlight conference papers and presentations that point to the rich opportunities for a conservation between political history, social and cultural history and the presidency. As Miller Center National Fellowship Program Chair and UVa History Professor Brian Balogh notes in this video interview with the History News Network, we hope a new generation of scholars will be inspired to pursue of variety of analytical approaches to studying the American presidency and to draw on the presidency to inform the questions they will address in their dissertation. Watch all of the conference presentations online here.
How have Presidents institutionalized Thanksgiving? There are three critical moments in the development of Thanksgiving as a formalized, national holiday. Not surprisingly, they center around three of the most studied presidents: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt.
At the request of Congress, Washington issued the first Thanksgiving Day proclamation on October 3rd, 1789:
"Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be."
His statement is indicative of the both the character and structure of the holiday in early American history. Thanksgiving was--as it is today--a day of thanks; but specifically, it was an expression of gratitude toward "that great and glorious Being." This first presidential thanksgiving took place on the last Thursday in November--a precedent that the next fourteen presidents would only loosely follow.
Nearly 75 years later, Lincoln, at the urging of a newspaper editor Sarah Josepha Hale, would issue another Thanksgiving Proclamation, which nationalized the holiday. The statement, which was written by Secretary of State William Seward, called upon Americans in the midst of civil war to remember the gifts they daily received:
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People.
Between 1789 and 1863, states issued their own thanksgiving proclamations, and dates of the holiday varied. After Lincoln, Thanksgiving became an annual presidential responsibility, which charged future presidents to proclaim the last Thursday of November a holiday.
That precedent held for another 75 years, until FDR faced a crisis of calendar in 1939. In that year, there were five, not four, Thursdays in November--which, if Roosevelt had followed tradition, would have shortened the Christmas shopping season (retailers considered Christmas advertising prior to Thanksgiving improper). Fred Lazarus Jr. of Federated Department Stores successfully lobbied Roosevelt to move Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday in November in order to lengthen the Christmas shopping season in years in which November had five Thursdays. The executive move angered a number of states enough that in some places two Thanksgivings were celebrated. In 1941, Congress passed and Roosevelt signed into law a joint resolution making the fourth Thursday in November "a legal public holiday to all intents and purposes and in the same manner as" Christmas, New Years, and the Fourth of July.
So, with the tip of the presidential signing pen, Thanksgiving Day has gone from an informal religious celebration, to a national holiday that marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season.
Each week leading up to President Obama's second inauguration, which will take place on January 21, 2013, RTT will feature an inaugural speech by a previous president from the Miller Center's archives.
This week marks the 49th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination while riding in a motorcade through downtown Dallas, Texas. With this anniversary in mind, RTT highlights JFK's inaugural address as well as some of our resources on his assassination.
In preparing for his Inaugural Address on January 20, 1961, JFK sought to capitalize on the moment to both inspire the country as well as to discuss the challenges confronting the country in the Cold War. He wanted the speech to be both concise and devoid of partisan rhetoric. JFK tapped his speechwriter, Ted Sorensen, to study previous inaugural speeches, especially Lincoln's Gettysburg address in order to help the president craft a successful speech. JFK told Sorenson, "I don't want people to think I'm a windbag," and he also enlisted suggestions from friends and advisors.
A few years ago, Sorenson surmised that the speech "was not Kennedy's best" and "may not even have been Kennedy's most important speech historically, in terms of its impact on our planet." However, it was "world-changing." In Kennedy, Sorenson wrote that JFK thought that earlier drafts of the speech focused too heavily on domestic issues and the following lines were cut from the speech:
We must begin by facing the fact that history's most abundant economy has slackened its growth to a virtual halt. That the world's most productive farmers have only suffered for their success. . . . That too many of our cities are sinking into squalor.
One of the most significant cuts from earlier versions of the speech was a reference to civil rights:
Our nation's most precious resource, our youth, are developed according to their race or funds, instead of their own capability.
The reason for the omission of important domestic issues was JFK's belief that they would inherently raise partisan divisions. Instead, JFK sought to demonstrate his grasp of global issues and the passing of the torch of leadership to a new generation. Thus, the final version of the speech stressed concern for global poverty and opposition to dictatorships. It also stressed America's role as a champion of liberty throughout the world:
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
JFK's Inaugural Address also emphasized America's preference for negotiations and cooperation in the Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union. While attempting to downplay tensions on the one hand, JFK also sought to convey American resolve.
Each week leading up to President Obama's second inauguration, which will take place on January 21, 2013, RTT will feature an inaugural speech by a previous president from the Miller Center's archives.
November 19th will mark the 149th anniversary of President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and it, as well as Lincoln's second inaugural in 1865, are acknowledged to be among the great orations in American history. Given the upcoming anniversary, this week RTT highlights the importance of both of these speeches.
Lincoln's second Inaugural Address on March 4, 1865 was delivered just over a month before his assassination and as the end of the Civil War was rapidly approaching. The address was brief, but profound. Abolitionist Frederick Douglass called the speech a "sacred effort" and praised it for sounding "more like a sermon than like a state paper." Lincoln used the address to "look with high hope to the future" and to unite the country by propounding a providential interpretation of the cause, duration and consequences of the war for both sides. While the President rejected the triumphalism of radical Republicans, he also denounced slavery in concrete terms:
One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.
Lincoln concluded the address with a defense for a pragmatic approach to Reconstruction and reconciliation:
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the fight as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
Tony Lucadamo, Senior Editor at the Virginia Policy Review, contributes today's guest post, which explores whether Mitt Romney represents a new generation of consultancy leaders.
If you have not already, I encourage you to watch a recent PBS Frontline special on the Presidents entitled, "The Choice 2012." The show's season premiere takes an in-depth look at the backgrounds of both Presidential nominees. The most interesting point was this. Nicholas Lemann of the New Yorker remarked:
It's a little bit like a consulting engagement. You go in. You figure out what the problems are. You fix things. You make things more organized. Then you go on to the next challenge.
Romney's senior advisors essentially concur in later statements. Their narrative runs like a private equity assignment. He presented a product – the socially liberal, fiscally conservative Governor -- which he thought would meet demand. He then did what he could given a Democratic-controlled State legislature. In particular, he picked the issue of healthcare and made it the main issue of his four years in office.
Yet, in many ways, this alternate method is nothing new. Certainly, populism has been around for a long time. Governor Romney's Profile is perhaps an evolution of the executive-centered, efficiency-minded values that took root in the Progressive Era combined with a populism gleaned through the lens of modern business. The service sector constitutes an increasing proportion of U.S. GDP with each passing year. In that case, it should come as no surprise that this new generation of leaders is upon us. Men and women who have built their careers in private equity and consulting may increasingly seek to transfer their skills into politics. There is equal fodder for both pessimists and optimists in that case.

Hurricane Sandy is threatening millions on the East Coast and dominating the headlines and airwaves. With just eight days until the election, Sandy is also impacting the presidential campaign. Both presidential campaigns have canceled planned stops and are urging people in affected states to take precautions. Some may find the change in tone, even if forced by disaster, a relief. Rather than bashing each other non-stop, the candidates are more focused on demonstrating leadership in the face of a disaster, showing concern and empathizing with those in harm's way. Hurricane Sandy is no doubt a test of leadership for both President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. However, as the head of government, the President will be particularly challenged with the responsibility for how the government responds. However, the President has not always held the role of "Responder-in-Chief."
The greater transformation of the public's expectation for presidential response to disasters is rooted more broadly in the development of the permanent campaign. Amidst the height of the presidential campaign in 1972, Richard Nixon was criticized for his response to Hurricane Agnes that affected the Atlantic states, especially Pennsylvania, New York and Northern Virginia. Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Milton Shapp, Democratic Presidential Candidate George McGovern and others seized on the opportunity to sharply criticize Nixon for what they called the government's incompetent response. Nixon moved quickly to mitigate the damage, but was only able to do so when he took the reins and choreographed the government's response from the White House. If not for the campaign season and the politicization of the government's response, we may not have seen a broader expansion of the President's role of "Responder-in-Chief."

Selecting an Arborist or Tree Care Company
There are a variety of things to consider including:
Before Hiring
- Ask for proof of insurance and then phone the insurance company if you are not satisfied.
- Some government agencies require contractors to apply for permits and/or to apply for a license before they are able to work. Be sure they comply with any local, state, provincial, or national law that governs their work.
- Ask for references to find out where the company has done work similar to the work you are requesting. Don't hesitate to check references or visit other work sites where the company or individual has done tree work.
- Unless you know and are comfortable with the arborist, get more than one estimate.
- Be wary of individuals who go door-to-door and offer bargains for performing tree work. Most reputable companies are too occupied to solicit work in this manner. Improper tree care can take many years to correct the damage, and in some cases, it can never be corrected.
- Get it in writing. Most reputable arborists will have their clients sign a contract. Be sure to read the contract carefully.
- Find out who is responsible for disposing of the entire tree, including limbs and debris. Will the stump be removed? You may be able to save money by recycling the wood from your tree. To learn how, contact the Fairfax County's Forest Pest Branch.
Who to Hire
- Membership in professional organizations- such as the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), the Tree Care Industry Association, or the American Society of Consulting Arborists (ASCA)-demonstrates a willingness on the part of the arborist to stay up-to date on the latest techniques and information.
- Check in the phone directory yellow pages for those arborists who advertise as ISA Certified Arborists or display the official logo of the ISA Certified Arborist. Certified arborists are experienced professionals who have passed an extensive examination covering all aspects of tree care.
- Good arborists will only perform accepted practices. Examples of unnecessary practices are: topping a tree, removing an excessive amount of live wood, using climbing spikes on trees that are not being removed, and removing or disfiguring living trees without just cause.
- Don't always accept the lowest bid.

Lakland Artist Geezer Butler of
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame artist Geezer Butler knows exactly what he likes in a bass guitar. He's even designed several of his own throughout his career with Black Sabbath, Geezer Butler Band, G/Z/R and Heaven & Hell; searching for the right feel, playability, aesthetics and of course, tone. When Geezer played his first USA Lakland, he discovered what so many of the industry's top players did, Lakland's amazing attention to detail with a level of refinement that is un-surpassed by any instrument from any era. Since then, Geezer wields no less than 5 USA Laklands including the deep and articulate Hollowbody, the timeless 44-64 and now the vintage feeling 44-51 and 44-51M. We're proud to be Geezer's preferred bass company for over 10 years now. Thank you Geezer!

Farmers' markets are fun. But what if you can't find time to shop at them every week, even though you still want a basket of farm-fresh produce? Some people buy a share of a farmer's harvest. An increasingly popular option, perhaps 1,700 farms are feeding thousands of people across North America through a concept called "Community Supported Agriculture" (CSA).
How it works: You get a basket of farm-fresh, seasonal produce each week during a specified season (often summer and fall). Thats in return for paying in full in advance. Enough produce for a family of four may cost $300 to $600, averaging up to $30 weekly for freshly picked, high-quality, often organic produce. Some people split subscriptions with a neighbor to cut the tab. Delivery options vary. Some CSAs deliver to a central location where youd go to pick it up; a minority deliver to your door. Some invite subscribers to pick up food at the farm, stroll around and enjoy the fresh country air.
Flavorful food is a big draw, but even more important is that these arrangements are good ways to support farms in your community that are threatened by encroaching development or fluctuating market prices. Dwindling farms and increasing reliance on imported food in the 1960s prompted the beginning of the movement in Japan, where the concept is called "teikei" ("food with the farmers face on it"). One of the first CSA farms in the U.S. began in 1985 in Massachusetts at Indian Line Farm, which still encourages members to participate in the farm and get their hands dirty with a variety of "u-pick" items. Occasionally, its members are invited to plant seeds or bulbs, such as during the fall garlic planting festival.
Because CSA farms plant a large variety of crops, theyre more sustainable as farms and for the environment than the vast single-crop farms (monocultures) that provide produce for supermarkets. If one crop at the CSA farm should fail, the loss isnt economically devastating for the farmer. Companion crops and crop rotation reduce the need for commercial fertilizers and pesticides, and so naturally many CSAs are also certified organic.
CSAs benefit everyone involved: Vegetables grow in healthier soil, theyre delivered the day theyre picked, and they have a higher nutritional value. And a diverse array of crops ensures that meals will be well rounded and in tune with the local growing season.

Goorin Brothers
The legacy of Goorin Brothers is one that follows a timeless approach to the art of hat making. In its fourth generation of leadership Goorin Brothers continues the tradition of authentic family craftsmanship and is supported by a team of individuals who share the same passion for the cultural, artistic and hands on approach to this century old brand. Goorin offers timeless, classic styles with a unique flare and personality --thats that allow you to make a statement without having to say a word. Goorin Brothers hat making tradition began on the cobblestone streets of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania when founder Cassel Goorin sold his first hat off a horse cart in 1895. In the 1920's Cassel's Sons, Alfred and Ted Goorin, helped their father expand the business. Learning the trade from their father, Alfred and Ted were the original Goorin Brothers. War prosperity fueled demand for sport and leisure hat styles in the 1940's. Outdoor leisure was incorporated into their new sporting line designed to accommodate the hunter, fisherman, and camper alike. In 1949 Alfred moved the company's headquarters to downtown Mission Street in San Francisco's thriving business hub. By the 1960's formal hats were no longer the norm for day to day life. In order to survive, the company turned to the ski industry and became the official head wear company for the Olympic Games held in Squaw Valley in 196O. During the 1970's Alfred Goorin Jr., Cassel's grandson, took over the family business. Alfred and his wife, Glorianne expanded their foothold in the ski business and added winter accessories to their successful line of headwear. This included gloves, mittens, socks, and other sportswear. They even looked to Europe for ideas and inspiration for more fashion-forward styles. In the early 1990's, Ben Goorin, now the fourth generation of family hatters enters the business. The rise in popularity of quality made baseball caps and beanies spurred by underground streetwear made Goorin Brothers relevant for the fast developing skateboard and snowboard industry. Today, Cassel's great-grandson Ben Goorin is leading Goorin Brothers with an eye to the future and a strong foundation in his heritage. While staying true to the company's authenticity and craftsmanship, Ben Goorin reaches out into San Francisco's rich artistic community and continues to develop the most creative headwear today.

- Neck – Measure all around the middle of your neck. Keep enough room for you to slide a finger in between the tape and your neck.
- Chest – Lift your arms and wrap the tape around your chest. Keep the tape around the highest part of your chest while still under your arms. Drop your arms to get the most precise measurement.
- Sleeve – Measure from the middle of your neck, down your shoulder to the elbow. Then take the measurement from your elbow to your wrist. Add the two for your total sleeve measurement.
- Waist – Wrap the tape around your waste just above your hip. Keep the tape loose enough to slide a finger between the tape and your waist.
- Inseam – Take your favorite fitting pair of pants and place them on a flat surface. Measure along the inside of the leg from the crotch seam down to the bottom of the pants for your inseam. Depending on your sizing preference you can round up or down to get your desired inseam. If you plan on machine washing, take shrinkage into account before you make your sizing decision.

Hey dude, I said "firearm" above not "gun" above. If you had good reading comprehension skills, you would have noticed that. So you're telling me that it would be "legal" in the State of Kansas, for a civilian to own a 50 cal rifle? Prove it! |

Judged: 2 2 2 To you apparently... whether from a lack of cognitive skills, or 'stiff-necked' ideology, I have little doubt YOU found the statement "incoherant"{sic}, or possibly counter to your personal beliefs and in you mind what you stated probably sounded a little less bias and partisan than stating you disagreed with the statement and possibly face the charge to support your difference of opinion. However, I guess we should all count our blessings you merely claimed the statement was incoharant{sic}, rather than some of the other claims that often follow an opinion like the one you responded to. |
Judged: 2 2 2 |
Judged: 1 1 1 A gerbil and a typewriter would have done better. |
Judged: 2 2 2 I don't see how banning guns will make it a safer place to live. A ban is not the answer, but better regulation, training, and certification requirements come to mind if it is truly an issue at all. Aside from that, protection from home invasion is a crock of $#1T. I have not known a single person that has had to shoot a legitimate home invader. I have however known a few people that have fired upon innocent folks, like a deaf paperboy. sad! I don't own a gun, but do have double-locking windows, outside motion detectors, deadbolts, and one hell of a loud security system. Don't really feel like a need a gun to feel safe. food for thought... |

A lot to be thankful for
On the day before Thanksgiving, recreation center director Wilma Erven said she had a lot to be thankful for. "This facility is one of them," she said, as a grand re-opening celebration was held to mark the completion of the aquatics expansion. Because voters overwhelmingly voted in favor of a penny sales tax to build the recreation center, then approved an extension before it was due to sunset, the project was entirely cash funded. A number of individuals also contributed funds, and grants were obtained from the Daniels Fund, El Pomar and the Gates Foundation. Erven also recognized FCI Contractors, city leaders, the facility's six coordinators and architect Bruce Flynn who helped create a dream plan, then scaled it back so it was possible to complete two of the phases — an addition to the fitness area and the expanded aquatics facility. As shown in the photo above, the addition includes a warm-water wellness pool, a lazy river, therapy pool (upper right) and family changing rooms. The main pool can be seen through the opening behind the lifeguard.

I say again, it's a good month to be a Whedonist!!
The instant extreme success of The Avengers couldn't have been earned by any writer/director/creator more deserving.
Seeing the movie was exciting.
Seeing the movie a second time was exciting!
Seeing Joss's name get splashed around the internet at an ever increasing rate is exciting.
Waking up to see Joss left a message on Whedonesque for us was amazing!!
It's so amazing, that the number of articles about the importance of the letter are steadily rising.
Here's a beautiful excerpt:
People have told me that this matters, that my life is about to change. I am sure that is true. And change is good — change is exciting. I think — not to jinx it — that I may finally be recognized at Comiccon . . . What doesn't change is anything that matters. What doesn't change is that I've had the smartest, most loyal, most passionate, most articulate group of — I'm not even gonna say fans. I'm going with "peeps" — that any cult oddity such as my bad self could have dreamt of. When almost no one was watching, when people probably should have STOPPED watching, I've had three constants: my family and friends, my collaborators (often the same), and y'all. A lot of stories have come out about my "dark years", and how I'm "unrecognized" . . . So this is me, saying thank you. All of you. You've taken as much guff for loving my work as I have for over-writing it, and you deserve, in this our time of streaming into the main, to crow. To glow.
And we are glowing! With great pride. For the best damn writer alive in our time. Joss is a fan boy at heart, and he knows how to tell stories. He's never sold out. And that's brought him a lot of canceled television programs, but it's also bought him a dedicated following. Joss has been weaving the current mythology of our popular culture for the last fifteen years. Though everyone may not have seen the series, Buffy is certainly a name recognized by most. And her impact has been deep and wide. What Joss has done for female characters and the empowerment of women – no, not just women, of people – is necessary, meaningful, and timely.
It's amazing how many interviews, articles, and reviews you can read right now on both The Avengers and Joss Whedon. I must mention some of the best though (all second, of course, to Whedon's post on Whedonesque).
Here's possibly the best interview I've ever read with Whedon: 'Avengers' Director Joss Whedon on Trying to Be More Like Buffy. It's lengthy and meaty and well-worth your time! And as someone who's currently juggling many projects (though none on the level of what Joss does), I appreciated this insight/advice the most:
If you try to multitask in the classic sense of doing two things at once, what you end up doing is quasi-tasking. It's like being with children. You have to give it your full attention for however much time you have, and then you have to give something else your full attention. The secret to multitasking is that it isn't actually multitasking. It's just extreme focus and organization.
If your time is more limited, here's a short Q&A that gets right to the heart of Whedon. I'm going to spoil the final bit for you, and you won't mind because it's so damn beautiful all by itself.
Tell us a joke.
Your life has meaning.Tell us a secret.
Your life has meaning.
Here's an article I love that came out just before The Avengers release date and highlights the academia of the Whedonverse: Master of the Whedonverse. Speaking of which… five years ago when I was writing my Master's Thesis on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, despite the growing academic literature, I had to argue why this was worthy of academic exploration. I dare say that now, as I'm expanding on that project as a book with McFarland, the why has become culturally understand. Are all movies and television programs deep and meaningful? Of course. But the one's that are… they are transforming us on an individual and collective level. They are as powerful as myths. In fact, they're the new myth. They reflect our time and they give us something to relate to. I firmly believe Joss was a significant figure in bringing this into being. He changed the face of serialized television. And, in the process, he changed our lives.
On a final note, here's an interesting article on Death in Fantasy Fiction: Why It Makes Us Rage. (Minor spoilers for Avengers coming here… but I won't give away anything you're not already expecting… and I won't name names) Sure, my husband muttered, "Damn you, Joss Whedon!" under his breath when a beloved character in The Avengers met his demise… but here's what I love about Whedon. We (the Whedonists) know he's going to kill off characters that matter to us. If they didn't matter to us, their deaths wouldn't matter. And he's not doing it for shock value. In the worlds Whedon creates, the stakes are always high (Buffy lives on a Hellmouth; Angel battles Wolfram & Hart's apocalypse; the Alliance is out for Mal Reynolds; Dr. Horrible built a DEATH ray; The Dollhouse is attacking the very rights of humanity; The Avengers are facing a demi-god). And how realistic would those high stakes seem and those victories really feel if everyone came out alive and unburdened? In fact, if it hadn't been for the moving death in Avengers, would our team of super heroes even have become a team? I think Nick Fury made it pretty clear how much they needed that catalyst. We're drawn to Whedon again and again because his stories are real. The stakes are real. The losses are real. And so are the messages, the characters, the meaningfulness, and the emotion.
I'm proud to be a Whedonist and I'm glad the whole world now gets to see now what he's capable of.
