Galls or cecidia are outgrowths on the surface of lifeforms. Plant galls are abnormal outgrowths of plant tissues and can be caused by various parasites, from fungi and bacteria, to insects and mites. Plant galls are often highly organized structures and because of this the cause of the gall can often be determined without the actual agent being identified. This applies particularly to some insect and mite plant galls. In pathology, a gall is a raised sore on the skin, usually caused by chafing or rubbing.

As far as putting it together it took me about 15-20 minutes. It's has 6 steps.

Do you call hazelnuts filberts?
- BobB Dec 4, 2010 07:12 AM
Just curious. When I was growing up in Boston everyone I knew did. I'm wondering if it's a regional thing, or cultural (we're Jewish and pretty much only had them in the house around Chanukah).
Did you/do you call them filberts - and if so where are you from?
Yes. But I re-describe as hazelnuts to people who look at me quizzicly when I say 'filbert'.
Detroit. Polish/Catholic family.
Mom still calls them filberts. She is 84.
re: fourunder
"Hazelnut" has mostly supplanted the older "Filbert" most everywhere, I think. Maybe ex ept for old Italians and maybe even in Oregon, where many of my grad school buddies would go pick filberts for a few beer bucks back in the day.
re: bob96
No Italians in my family, and hardly any in our part of Illinois, but everyone I knew said "filbert." We were aware that "hazelnut" was another name for the same thing, just didn't use it. I think this is another good example of mass communications flattening out local differences, with more widely common names for things displacing colloquial usage.
I'm still trying to understand how poblanos got to be officially named "pasillas" …
re: Will Owen
In Washington State, the wild ones (which were pretty common in the woods) were called hazlenuts. Their bigger cultivated cousins were called filberts.
re: Will Owen
Poblanos = pasillas? NOT! That's just gringo ignorance!
re: Veggo
Go buy some poblanos at the supermarket and that'll be how they're labelled and how they scan. I have read that people in some pockets of Mexico do DO call the dark-green heart-shaped chiles "pasillas" - so I'm guessing that when the USDA asked their resident Mexican what those are called, that's where he was from.
re: Will Owen
Innocent errors occur. I blame the gringos on this one. And I am one...
re: Perilagu Khan
PK , we are simpatico hermanos, the best way to be. I am comfortable poking fun at anyone, anywhere, any time, especially myself. For this, others wish me an early demise. Go figure.
re: Perilagu Khan
in group out group. you may make fun of the group you're in. plz specify ;-)
re: fourunder
Ha! I hadn't thought of the word "filbert" in years but that's just what the older Italians in my family called them when they cracked them after Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Never even realized they were the same thing.
I am from Washington State......... and we invented hazelnuts (kinda kidding). We call them hazelnuts :)
re: Perilagu Khan
Houston here. Back in the 60's my big brother and his best friend held me down and shoved a nut in my nostril. To this day I remember the name, a filbert. It took me a while to extract it.
re: James Cristinian
Tom, is that you?!?
re: Perilagu Khan
Hee, hee!
re: andrewtree
Yeah I've heard that one as well, the round dark reddish ones are hazels, the longer more pale orange ones were filberts/cobnuts. Ive also heard a three tiered system based on how far the husk extends around the nut's shell; if it was shorter than the nut it was a hazel, more or less equal a filbert much longer a cobnut. Problem is, the same tree can yield nuts of more than one type in either classification (there is also the fact that, under the second system, the two american species would have to be classified as the american filbert and the beaked cobnut, and they're both hazels)
re: andrewtree
English here as well, never heard of hazelnuts being called filberts but have heard of cob nuts. But Leicester City Football Club played at Filbert St from 1891-2002, wonder where the name came from?
re: smartie
"Filbert" comes from St. Philibert. Apparenty, the Saint's feast day (Aug 20) tended to sync up roughly with the time the hazels were ripe and ready to pick in England.
re: jumpingmonk
You may be right about the origins. St Philibert was French and, after the conquest of England in 1066, many words came across the Channel and were incorporated into English usage. Our main area still for for growing hazelnuts is the county of Kent - only 21 miles from France - although now much reduced from the 2800 hectares a hundred years ago to around 300 now.
re: Harters
Well the source did say the the term was Norman French in origin. There is also the fact that the basis is sound. After all in the days before the common man had regular acess to calenders, dates were often calculated from the proximity to varios holy days, so it is likey that the average English nut forager (I almost said "the average English nutter!" g>) wound not have though of the season as being "around the 20th of August" but as being "around the Feast of St. Philibert" (sorta similar to how the autumn term at some of the old english schools is stilled called the Michelmas term, since its starts roughly around the Feast of St. Michael)
re: jumpingmonk
can you imagine Cadbury's doing the commercial - 'Nuts, whole Filbert nuts, Cadbury's make em and they cover them in chocolate!!'
Fruit and nutcases huh?
Always called them hazelnuts. Parents spoke German at home when I was growing up and the German word (hazelnuss ) is similar. The nut wasn't that popular among other people where I lived (Pa. Dutch country ) and by the time they'd become more well known, most ppl called them hazelnuts.
They've always been my favorite nut!
re: nofunlatte
Grew up in german midwest area and only called them hazelnuts although we knew they were filberts too. The only real exposure we had when young was in bags of mixed nuts at christmas time. Later noticed they were popular in european chocolate bars.
Almost invariably in the UK, you see them as hazelnuts. If not hazelnuts, then it'll be cobnuts. Dont think I've ever seen them sold as filberts - although a number of plant nurseries here offer both cobnut and filbert to grow.
I remember the first time I saw filberts in the market in Chicago in the 80s. Now I never seem them labeled as anything other than hazelnuts.
re: andieb
They were called filberts in southern Ohio in the 60's. I agree with andib that I think hazelnut was a "modern" term that came into vogue in the 80's.
re: woodleyparkhound
I agree, and I'm guessing that the change in terminology on this side of the Atlantic may have come about in part due to the expansion of "foodie" culture in the '80s (and I do not use the word derogatorily). Thus the introduction of European products such as Nutella, chocolate bars and cakes made with "hazelnuts," and the like influenced usage. Plus, hazelnut just sounds more mellifluous than filbert. Filbert's a nerd word that you blurt; hazelnut is sexy as it buzzes across your tongue!
re: bbqboy
They are called Hazelnuts by the State of Oregon, however....
I grew up in West Virginia and we used the blanket term "hazelnut" there. I heard the word Filbert for the first time when I moved to Oregon a few years ago and had no idea what people were talking about. I discovered that they grow a lot of Filberts (Corylus maxima) in the Willamette Valley and that many people who live around there are careful to differentiate them from the Common Hazel or Cobnut (Corylus avellana.) They also do the same thing with Marionberries, a regionally grown blackberry variety. I've also heard of a third type of hazelnut called the Turkish Hazel (Corylus colurna.) Since I moved to Texas I've had a hard time finding hazelnuts in the store. Lo and behold they were in the bulk foods section of Whole Foods listed under "Filbert"- and I thought it was just a weird Oregon thing!
re: alloy1028
There are actually a LOT of species of Hazelnut. North america actually has two native of it's own (though both are small nutted, and thefore not commecially grown) the American Hazel (Corylus americana) and the Beaked Hazel (Corylus cornuta) in fact back when I was a kid I sued to go to a summer camp that actually had a copse of beaked hazels (though since I was there in summer, the nuts were never ripe, so I can't commnent on how they taste)
re: dave_c
All the reason I need to keep calling them filberts.
re: Perilagu Khan
Exactly! I feel the same way. :-)
re: Perilagu Khan
My husband still calls them filberts, but he also calls a microwave a "radar range," flip flops "thongs," and the remote control a "channel changer" soooo....
re: alloy1028
I call the fridge the ice box. And no, I didn't fight in the Battle of the Argonne Forest.
re: Perilagu Khan
I too call them filberts, ESPECIALLY if they're candy coated, ala "mothballs", which might be a New England term.
and I agree, it's an ice box :-)
Interestingly, my dad called all hickory nuts, even those for human (as opposed to squirrel) consumption, "Pignuts". I don't believe it's botanically correct, but I still get a kick out of that 35 years past little kidhood.
re: pinehurst
Last Christmas season I got some filberts coated in spun sugar from the Vermont Country Store. They were tremendous. I imagine these are the mothballs to which you refer.
re: pinehurst
There are several types of hickory nuts and they can be tricky to differentiate.
Wallnuts species are escaping cultivation and hybridizing.
Lets not forget Butternuts and Wingnuts. Botanists love these sort of issues.
re: GH1618
I remember driving through Oregon and seeing the nut orchards. I was told they were "hazelnuts." The interesting thing was that the leaves between the trees were raked into neat little piles in order to raise night crawlers for the bait shops.
Grew up in CT from Ohio born-and bred parents, and they were always called filberts. Imagine my surprise when they turned out to be the 'hazelnuts' that I kept hearing so much about years later....and one snooty chef informed me that THAT was what "WE" called them now......
re: John Francis
This. I feel like I've seen the word (filbert) before, but until this thread I had no idea hazelnuts were known by another name.
Whoops, editing to add that I'm from New York.
re: pikawicca
I have always called them hazelnuts but I've always known that they were also called filberts as well; I think my grandparents used the term filbert. As for Brazil nuts, they had the same special name for those that your dad had, pika!
re: pikawicca
My grandfather Owen called brazil nuts by the unmentionable name at every opportunity, I think because he knew how much it riled my dad. His notion of humor. However, lots of the kids I knew used it routinely and quite innocently. There's a lot I do NOT miss about the Good Old Days.
re: Will Owen
I cringe when I remember how easily the words "eenie, meanie, meinie, mo, catch a ***** by the toe" tripped off our childish tongues.
re: pikawicca
Same here, pika, including the Brazil nuts. But they have all quietly died away. And they meant no harm. That's the way it was.
re: Veggo
They weren't even confined to that plant. At one point I did some part time work in a medicinal herb shop. One of the commoner herbs I had to dig out was Senna tora (now Senna obtusifolia, the store got the two names confused as well) One of the oldder customers would come regularly to pick some up. Only he called it by one of it's common names which happens to be the same epithet as the brazil nuts (well, the marginally lesser version, the five letter one as opposed to the six) +coffee. I am also reminded of the fact that Citrus hystix is now called Markut Lime, as the older name (the one that began with "K", six letters) was finally deemed too offensive (though I think there is still a sort of edible tree legume native to Africa called "K-word" bean. And of course there is a small edible fruit called a "H-word"(nine letters) fig).
re: jumpingmonk
you lost me with the H word and the K word.
re: Sharuf
You have to be British (and rather old fashioned) to usually get those two. Both are pejoratives against people of African decent
re: Sharuf
The K rhymes with "Laugher" the H with "Hot to trot"
re: pikawicca
@pikawicca......prob. called the Brazil nuts the same thing my father did !
Grew up in Brooklyn,NY always called them filberts.
My grandmother (born 1913) called them filberts, but never heard that name again until I met a guy from Hawaii named Philbert.
Connecticut born. Filberts when eaten as nuts. Hazelnuts when written in recipes or when sold at a high price.
What's the big deal? A rose by any other name...
What matters about any name is its ability to communicate to others. So it's not a bad idea to know other names for this nut as well as other foods. But the ethnicity or national background of a term is nothing to brag or argue about. Some nationalities and ethnicities DO often have unique and lovely recipes for them, regardless of what they're called. Those matter, at least to foodies like me.
By whatever name, filberts/hazelnuts are the same nut.
The only people with valid concerns about the names people use for things are etymologists, who study words and their derivations. The rest of us should have more lofty things to think about than to quibble over the name of a nut.
re: fastermx
Etymologists wrangle, haggle, torture themselves for correct contemporary use of words, distilled from origins disconnected by time or geography. Allow some patience and respect for their work!
re: fastermx
One needn't be an etymologist to be interested in words. There is no need to put down people who are interested in discussing something which you are not.
Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, we always called them filberts, until the early 90's...then "hazelnuts" came into fashion!
re: Savour
Yes, wild people call them filberts. We cultivated people call them hazelnuts in polite company.
re: GH1618
Witch Hazel? Sorry, which hazel.
re: Perilagu Khan
Don't you mean: Ah, nuts ...
re: Perilagu Khan
Witch Hazel
re: sassysis01
Never heard of Brazil Nuts being called Filberts, but do remember Brazil Nuts being called something else that is not really repeatable today.
re: Tripeler
re: Cherylptw
Thanks for pitching in.
It was my grandfather who called them that. He was a labor union organiser in the Texas oilfields in the 1930s, and was eventually kicked out of his union for demanding that black workers and white workers get the same pay for the same job description. Apparently, too radical for the times back then. Well, he was also a charter member of the U.S. Communist Party. He would have been 100 when Obama was elected, though he never would have imagined it.

U can go blood for more health, or start using ur CD's alot more often untill you get better gear
Yes, I'm a noob, so now that we've established that I have some questions regarding tanking heroics.
BACKSTORY: Tried to run H CoS yesterday as tank. I've run it as dps, so I knew the instance. Agro was not an issue. Living was. The healer (priest) suggested he might not be enough of a healer to 'keep me up' indicating that he had healed Naxx 10-man no problem but keeping me up was just impossible. The next pull after that went fine. The pull after that one we wiped and he left the group and hearthed.
So basically he threw me under the bus as being undergeared.
Ok, fine. I'm a big boy and maybe I am undergeared. Ergo, this post. So what is the appropriate gear level to tank heroics as a DK?
I currently have 544 defense and 24.9k health specc'ed as Frost. My gear is basically the stuff from:
I have no tanking gear from heroics or Naxx. I have successfully tanked The Old Kingdom on heroic but we had a well geared paladin healer that was crit-healing me for 14k. I think a mage could have tanked with that guy as healer.
My AOE rotation is basically DnD,IT,PS,PEST,HB,BB,FS,OB,HB. I use one of those buff/debuff mods so I can take advantage of Killing Machine and Rime whenever they proc. Single target rotation is the old IT, PS, BS, BS, OB, OB using FS and RS as runic dumps.
Again, threat hasn't been the issue. Survivability is.
Do I need better gear? If so, where do I get it? Try to 'tag along' on 10-man naxx as dps? Should I respec to blood for tanking? Should I just write this whole tanking thing off and relegate myself to the DK dps scrub gallery or reroll a healer?
I'd link my armory, but it shows me in my dps spec/gear. I could itemize out my gear from memory if that would help.
U can go blood for more health, or start using ur CD's alot more often untill you get better gear
In my opinion, if you have 25k HP and you are uncrittable, you are fine for heroics, and probably for Naxx 10 as well. I would just shrug the whole thing off.
Likely, it was a healer problem. Pally healers are pretty much made to lock on to a MT and keep him up, which is probably why you cleared OK and thought a mge could have tanked. Also, being able to "heal Naxx 10 fine" doesn't mean he is going to do great in heroics. My shaman raid heals Naxx 25 with no problem, but I've come close to letting the very same MT from that Naxx group die on several occasions in heroics.
The main place you are going to get the new gear would be from these very same heroics, so keep going with those. I think you'll be fine.
link your talent build? Armory talent page seems to be down atm.
I ran into that exact same issue myself (I heal 25 Naxx, this shoudn't be an issue) and indeed, he threw me under the bus as well. The very next night I took a RL friend into H UK (Same instance) as my healer, fresh 80, no gear to speak of, and there was no death. Not just no wipes, but no deaths. In my gear, I run about 21.5 in frost with 545 def rate. So just because that priest felt special because they heal raids doesn't mean jack. I tried to check you out on Armory, but it seems your last outing was a DPS/PVP trip according to gear and active spec. One thing I can say from experience is that unless you're used to tanking in Blood, it can be tough. I'm working toward getting used to it myself by using it on hc bosses and for single targets, it's well worth the effort so far. Ironically, your blood spec, which you kinda mentioned was used for DPS, is an excellent tank build and your frost spec seems a little lacking due to the missing 5/5 in Anticipation. Specing into that will give you more shots at RS for easy threat boosts.

If you string a custom pocket with a TON of lockdown knots in it, your pocket won't move much. Pita pockets, Heat pockets, and small diamond traditional pockets typically fall into this category. But wider pockets, like a five diamond traditional, or a Jeremy Thompson Replica pocket, can see knots that experience serious slippage. How can you fix the problem of Slipping Knots as the pocket breaks in?

Society is people working together for the common good. Sometimes it requires forgoing some personal freedoms. It's a social contract. The opportunity exists now, with the backing of the president and many law enforcement people, to make some reasonable changes in gun ownership in the US. What about all the citizenry that want gun control in Humboldt? I wish the sheriff had a bigger picture of society today. With his offices limited resources, shouldn't he be hoping for less firepower and more neighborhood involvement in keeping the county residents safe? Isn't he wary of the amount of firepower that has been found at illegal drug operation sites, run by individuals, not large criminal organizations?
I hope the Board of Supervisors will remind the sheriff to obey and enforce the laws that are written.
Cries for mental health screening, education, and school guards have to be funded. I'd like to see a tax on weapons and the ammunition that are allowed. The tax money would go to a fund for victims as well as to fund background checks and mental health screening. Similar to driving, I'd like to see registration fees, competency tests and renewals to make sure one has the right skill set to own and use a gun.
I think the sheriff does some fine work, but I hope the sheriff will put his energy into keeping the public safe and let the courts work through his concerns.

The further developed CF Series candle filters are particularly suitable for purifying industrial wastewater with low solids content. They have been specially developed for the filtration of liquids with solid concentration of less than 1% — an area of limited cake-building capabilities in which other filters fail. Even in the case of very fine particles with low solids content, they produce a clear filtrate. With filter areas ranging from 1 to 150 m², they are designed for throughput rates of up to several hundred cubic meters per hour. One special feature of the candle filter is that filtered solids do not form a sludge, but a pre-dried, semi-solid filter cake with a solids content of between 50 and 80%, thus significantly reducing the disposal volume compared with filter types with solids contents of 10 to 20%, says the company. — BHS-Sonthofen GmbH, Sonthofen, Germany

Data gaps hamper elderly-abuse review in Vt.By DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | January 26,2013MONTPELIER Vermont has made big progress in clearing up a backlog of investigations into reports of abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of the elderly and other vulnerable adults, according to both critics and defenders of the states Adult Protective Services system.
But theres concern among some lawmakers and advocates that the division of the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living may be clearing the backlog, in part, by being too selective in taking new cases.
And the departments commissioner acknowledged in an interview and in testimony to the House Human Services Committee that there are big gaps in the data used by lawmakers trying to measure the divisions performance.
The House Human Services Committee heard testimony Thursday that APS failed to intervene in a Bennington County case of an 89-year-old woman whose daughter was threatening to kill her.
Sandy Conrad, executive director of the Southwestern Vermont Area Agency on Aging, said repeated calls from her office to APS beginning at 1:13 p.m. on a Friday in November drew no response until the following Monday. After a cursory review, APS sent a letter to Conrads agency saying, The available evidence indicated that abuse, neglect or exploitation did not occur, she told the committee.
Despite appeals to more senior APS staff, theres been nothing to date that changes this decision, Conrad said. And that perpetrator still lives in that household and is still a threat to that situation.
The daughter wanted her mother to go to a nursing home, to get her out of the way because she wanted her partners mother to be able to come down and live with them, Conrad added.
Conrads organization is one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed against the state 13 months ago alleging that cases of abuse, neglect and exploitation of elderly and disabled Vermonters were being allowed to languish for months before being investigated by APS.
She and Vermont Legal Aid lawyer Barbara Prine said the state had hired more investigators, created a financial fraud unit in the division and taken other steps to clear up the backlog.
But they said the division rejects far too many cases that should be investigated.
We feel like more and more calls are being screened out, even though weve got the investigators, Conrad said.
One result, she added, is that theres not a backlog and its all looking way better.
Prine said Vermont has one of the lowest rates in the country of cases being substantiated found credible by state investigators. Depending on how the rate is counted, Its either 7 percent or 14 percent, when the national average is 44 percent, Prine said. Theres no reason to believe that in Vermont we are abusing people at one-quarter the national average.
Susan Wehry, commissioner of the department that includes APS, told the committee that the division had made great strides in 2012.
Many in the community will agree that our investigators are not only doing a bang-up job of investigation but also in building the kinds of networks and communication, participation and local coalitions around elder justice to really improve the whole network of adult protective services, she said.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in...

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
In one of my several reviews of the "Up" documentaries, I referred to the series as the noblest project in cinema history. I am older now and might refrain from such hyperbole. But we are all older now, and this series proves it in a most deeply moving way.
You know the premise. In 1964, British TV produced a film titled "7 Up," which focused on the lives, hopes and expectations of 14 children. They tended to sort out into upper and working classes. One unspoken question was whether the British class system was fading away.
Every seven years since then, the series has revisited as many of the original 14 who have agreed to continue to participate. Now here is the eighth film, "56 Up." Remarkably, all 14 are still alive. Michael Apted, now a major British director, was a researcher on the first film, took over as director with "14 Up," and has continued ever since. These people are all bonded through the continuity of this remarkable idea, although it's clear here that some of the participants consider this form of fame a mixed blessing.
In the U.K., their faces are well known. Consider Tony (no family names are given). As a kid we saw him working as a groom in a racing stable. Later, he had a brief career as a jockey. When that didn't work out, he "started on the Knowledge," which is what London cabbies call the long process of memorizing more or less every street or landmark in London. The rest of his life he has driven a taxi.
"56 Up" edits together footage from the earlier films to retrace the life of each character. We watch Tony as he grows older, gets married, has children, buys a vacation home in Spain, survives the real estate bust and navigates uncertainties in the taxi business. (When times are good for the Arabs, times are even better for cabbies. When the price of oil goes down, so do their fares.)
Tony recalls that one day he picked up the "spaceman" Buzz Aldrin, who was the second man to walk on lunar soil. As he pulled over his cab, a man in the next car handed him a piece of paper and asked for an autograph. Tony passed it back to Aldrin. "Not him!" said the autograph seeker. "You!"
The character I've come to care and worry about the most over the years is Neil, who is … troubled. He was born in Liverpool and filled with life as a kid, but by 21, something had gone wrong. Since then he has moved through a series of oddly assorted jobs, from home construction to politician. He has never married. He has often been homeless or a step away. He's wandered Britain, living on outskirts, usually involved in something vaguely idealistic. Having won local office on the Liberal Democrat ticket, Neil finds his latest occupation is as a canon in his local Anglican church. "I can do most of the jobs of a priest," he says somewhat ruefully.
Something went wrong with Neil. No telling what. How can we account for Sue, who we met with her pals Jackie and Lynn as students in London's working-class East End. Divorced with two children, she found a secretarial job and rose to a top administration post. We see her speaking to a lecture hall filled with students, and admitting how strange that seems to her, having never attended university herself.
"56 Up" revisits all of their lives, including a scientist now at the University of Wisconsin and a man who dropped out of the series and has now dropped back in, admittedly to promote his band. If there is one lesson we can learn from this film, it is that as we grow older, we tend to grow happier and more successful. As nearly as we can tell, all the subjects have grown wiser, more useful, more pleased with the way things are turning out.
I have no idea what that means. From a statistical viewpoint, it may mean nothing. But here they are in 1964, 7 years old, who Michael Apted pays a call on every seven years. It is a mystery, this business of life. I can't think of any under cinematic undertaking that allows us to realize that more deeply. Even Neil, I believe, has found the sort of happiness he is suited for.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Frances Johnston's work continues to astound. What an eye!
My front porch has a similar railing and parts of it bow like that, but, thankfully, nowhere near to that extent. It comes and goes, and is what happens when you build with common pine lumber, and happen to tight-fit a very dry piece. Later on, as it absorbs and/or loses moisture, it will expand and bow. These things happen down here, we're flexible about it.
marks the spot? How mysterious.
From the presence of the dog and the lonesome shoe I'm guessing that this home was still occupied at the time of the photo.
Anyone know the significance of the "X" in the square in the window?
Another beautiful, evocative photo.
Bet that dog would sit up to bark, but not actually approach. Way too hot.
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlette. (1964-Betty Davis & Olivia De Havoland)
[A misspelling trifecta! Bravo. - Dave]
Has anyone ever been better than Johnston at photographing plain wood and bringing it to life, so to speak?
On a much humbler southern cabin it would be called a "dogtrot". When the family first settled on the land, they would build a one room cabin. As the farm prospered a seconded room would be built with a roofed over area between. During the summer months the family would cook and eat in this cooler space.
If I'm not mistaken, the planters flanking the walk are vitreous clay sewer pipes stuck into the ground.
Now that's improvisation!
Would this be an elephant-trot mansion? Ox-trot?
It seems like the wooden structure is moving and under pressure. The second and third parts of the railing are buckling.
What a great house! Although it looks in worse shape than the earlier breezeway photo. Would love to have seen inside photos of the house. Would there have been a set of interior steps as well? And why was only one end of the breezeway open? Wouldn't the framed side block the breeze?
Great detail in the photo too. Love the forlorn shoe, the missing grill work on the second story porch railing, the broken window panes, even the lazy dog!
For some reason they caught my eye and stole the scene from the house.
What an unusual arrangement upstairs -- at first it looked like a regular front-to-back breezeway, but the backside has a wall with a window.
The breezeways, the deep porches, the trees. One could imagine actually living here.

An Iowa House-approved bill that would ban the use of automatic cameras to enforce traffic laws may be stalled in the Senate as the Iowa Legislature heads toward adjournment.
On Thursday, Senate President Jack Kibbie, D-Emmetsburg, assigned the bill to the Senate Transportation Committee.
Committee Chairman Sen. Tom Reilly, an Oskaloosa Democrat, who views the issue as a local decision, says the committee isn't scheduled to meet again this year. Kibbie says that likely means the bill's chances for seeing Senate action before the end of the 2012 session is "pretty slim."
Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, says the bill's fate rests at the committee level and it's unlikely to come up.

New ILO Global Estimate of Forced Labour: 20.9 million victims
June 1st 2012 sees the launch of a new ILO global estimate of forced labour – a shocking 20.9 million women, men and children are trapped in jobs into which they were coerced or deceived and which they cannot leave. The figure means that, at any given point in time, around three out of every 1,000 persons worldwide are suffering in forced labour.
The new estimate updates the one we produced seven years ago, in 2005. Though using the same basic statistical approach as in 2005, the methodology has since been revised and improved, which has given us a more robust figure this time.
Some highlights of the results:
18.7 million (90%) people are in forced labour in the private economy, exploited by individuals or enterprises. Out of these, 4.5 million (22%) are in forced sexual exploitation, and 14.2 million (68%) in forced labour exploitation in activities such as agriculture, construction, domestic work and manufacturing.
Women and girls represent the greater share of forced labour victims – 11.4 million (55%), as compared to 9.5 million (45%) men and boys.
Adults are more affected than children – 74% (15.4 million) of victims fall in the age group of 18 years and above, whereas children are 26% of the total (or 5.5 million child victims).
2.2 million (10%) work in state-imposed forms of forced labour, for example in prisons under conditions which violate ILO standards, or in work imposed by the state military or by rebel armed forces.
We are pleased to let you know that today we are also releasing a new revised edition of our guidelines on surveys to estimate forced labour at national level, entitled "Hard to see, harder to count". This represents one step towards helping countries gather better data on which to base their national policy responses.
We have prepared a range of documents which will provide you with useful information about the new estimate, how it was produced and what it means. They can be accessed by clicking on the links below.
A technical report, which contains the results of the global estimate and a detailed presentation of the methodology used to obtain them.
An executive summary of the report.
A Q&A presenting answers to common questions about the figures and about forced labour.
A global factsheet giving an easy-to-use graphic presentation of the main results, including the regional breakdown of absolute numbers and of prevalence (number of victims per 1000 inhabitants)

Posted Wednesday, August 22, 2012 --- 8:35 a.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- With the slate in Wisconsin's Senate race now set, Democrats are wasting little time going after Republican Tommy Thompson for refusing to release his tax records.
Democratic candidate Tammy Baldwin released 10 years of tax returns in May. She has called on Thompson to do the same, but he adamantly refused. His campaign says he already disclosed whatever financial information the law requires.
It's not clear how much the issue resonates with voters. Some say they're concerned about more substantive matters, and others say their minds are already made up.
A poll due out Wednesday will provide the first look at where the race stands. The Marquette University Law School poll comes the week after Thompson beat out three rivals in a Republican primary.

Craig Hlady
"I started out playing trumpet in the school band. I began playing guitar at 12 after seeing the Beatles on TV; that spurred my interest in performing and music."
"I liked the expressiveness of the guitar. You can get so many different sounds out of it. It's not like the piano or saxophone, which has one basic sound; the guitar really has many, from acoustic guitar to electric guitar. And then you have all sorts of electronic effects you can add to it, which changes the colors of the sounds."
"As my guitar playing progressed, my influences ranged from B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck, and Jimi Hendrix, to Wes Montgomery, Pat Metheny, and Mike Stern."
"I perform around the Boston area with various groups, everything from blues to jazz to rock. I've also toured the United States, Mexico, Canada, and New Zealand with my own group and as a sideman with others. Performing gives me the chance to apply some of the things that I teach, and to find ways to incorporate them."
"It's always a rush to be on stage, to be performing and creating music live. I also do a lot of recording too, which I enjoy doing, but playing live is a different experience."
"I find that teaching helps me as a player. I'm not just teaching students; I also learn things as I'm teaching. Sometimes they'll see things that I might not look at the same way. Maybe a different approach to using a solo technique, whether it be scales or chords, something I might not have looked at it in the same way before."

Written by Karen Gellender, email@example.com Friday, 14 December 2012 00:00
I don't remember a time when I ever believed in Santa Claus, but I don't think I specifically disbelieved in him either. I think, from the age of 4, my mindset on the subject could be summarized as "I am Jewish, therefore it is irrelevant whether Santa is real or not, because he's not bringing me anything." That may sound coldly analytical for a small child, but never underestimate the mercenary tendencies of a little girl who really wants a new Barbie doll. Apparently, if there was nothing in it for me, the mystifying existential state of the jolly man in a red suit could be happily left alone.
Come to think of it, I had a cynical view of the holidays in general from a very young age. I was painfully aware of the fact that Hanukkah is a big scam, and I actually mean no offense to Hanukkah: it's a fun little holiday, and any excuse to eat potato pancakes fried in oil should be respected. The scam lies in trying to con children into believing that Hanukkah is just the Jewish flavor of Christmas, which I'm convinced every Jewish child knows deep down is a well-intentioned, yet somehow odious lie.
If Hanukkah were the same as Christmas, every storefront would be festooned with beautiful Hanukkah decorations, there would be full-fledged Hanukkah trees instead of the occasional, quasi-ironic "Hanukkah bush," Hanukkah songs would have a more robust vocabulary than just the few scant words that happen to rhyme with "dreidel," and A Hanukkah Story would be on 24-hour rotation on several TV channels for the duration of the holiday (though the film would still end with Ralphie's family eating dinner at a Chinese restaurant, but that's neither here nor there.) Hanukkah is great and all, but don't try to tell me it's equivalent to Christmas: it's just not.
Oh sure, our parents made a valiant effort with the whole, "Instead of just one day of presents, you guys have eight whole nights!" thing, but let me break down that math for you: we would get real presents on the first, and maybe second night, but by the seventh, we were lucky to get a decorative pencil with Hebrew letters on it, if that. My parents didn't believe in buying video games either, which really wasn't Hanukah's fault but I think on some level I conflated the two: if only I had been born Christian, would (Schrödinger's) Santa have brought me a Super Nintendo? One can never know for sure.
Of course the holidays aren't only about receiving gifts, but giving them as well. Yet, try as I might, I can remember very few of the presents that I ever gave to friends and family. Now, I know I must have given people presents, because I'm pretty sure that I'm not an irredeemably horrible person and I have yet to be kicked out of my family. In some cases, I even remember the act of giving. I just don't remember the contents of the actual presents. One of the few exceptions is a hardcover copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance that I gifted to my father-in-law (then my boyfriend's father) because it occupies a place of honor in the family bathroom to this day, but that's about it. What does that say about me? Do I fail to remember gifts I gave because all the holiday shopping blurs together into one indistinguishable whole, or worse, am I so selfish I only remember what I got out of it?
I know, I know: I shouldn't really be talking about gifts I gave or received, but about the true meaning of the holiday season: Peace on Earth, goodwill towards men, and so on (although I think the meaning of Hanukkah is more along the lines of "show some bullies who's boss and practice energy efficiency," but let's err on the side of being inclusive.) However, considering the ship has pretty much sailed on keeping the lust for shiny new presents out of the holiday season, I propose an alternative: let's allow ourselves the joy of getting excited over material things now.
In the waning days of the year, when the weather takes a turn for the worst and we barely even see the sun, I think looking forward to the sheen of newly-wrapped presents under the tree (or wherever) isn't such a bad thing. In return, we should be more focused on striving for peace on earth and being kinder to each other the other 95 percent of the year. Deal?
