Dr of BBQ Keep in mind if you don't have enough power to fully power all your demand from electrical equipment, the equipment may well still operate but not as it should and you may cause damage to your appliances over time.. I think the ideal situation would be to divide your electrical demands equally between two power boxes, and do the same with your power source. And yes it doubles some of the cost but it'll save a lot of headaches over time. But that's just my opinion and your electrician will give you the best advice.
THE WILD DOG Question about these city fill inlet valves... Have you ever seen any that have an option for a locking outside cap ? All I see on these are just pop off caps. I'm kinda concerned about people putting stuff inside them while the trailer is sitting at night, What are your thoughts on this ?
THE WILD DOG Will ONE water pump be sufficient to run water to both my faucets ? I have a 3 compartment sink and a hand washing sink as well
chefbuba How would you fill your tank without hooking a hose to it? Here is a covered inlet.
Dr of BBQ The Wild Dog wrote Question about these city fill inlet valves... Have you ever seen any that have an option for a locking outside cap ? All I see on these are just pop off caps. I'm kinda concerned about people putting stuff inside them while the trailer is sitting at night, Why would anyone want to drag a hose to your trailer and hook it up and pump God knows what into your fresh water tank? That isn't going to happen so don't worry about it. Chef Bubba wrote Or you could use one of these, many HD's require this type of fill system. No one can tamper with the water tank, and you wont be sticking a dirty hose end down the fill pipe. The only bitch is, if you loose the fill end, and your on the road, .........you better have a spare! Chef in my opinion that rule came about through someone that sells these units. But that said they look like a common quick connect fitting that you can buy at Lowe's or and good hardware store, for much less in fact about 10% of your fitting total cost. The only rule we have is you must use a non back flow device so that water from your fresh water tank can't flow back into the city water system, while your pumping water from the city into your trailer or truck. Which is kinda silly also since the city water pressure is always higher than your fresh water tank pressure. But what they are concerned about is creating a vacuum after you stop pumping water into the tank, and the water being sucked back into the water line. Still silly, with all due respect. Jack

The costume apprentice was "building" outfits for a golf course scene from Berlioz's comic Shakespeare-meets-opera "Benedict and Beatrice."
Two mannequins in the Santa Fe Opera costume shop sported breeches, ties and vests in an explosion of argyle diamonds. Fristoe draped one figure in mostly white with windowpane breeches, while she transformed the second into a festival of bad fairway style, complete with a red plaid vest, green plaid breeches and argyle socks.
"I'm trying to bring back the breeches to make it even more ridiculous," she said. "They come in on a golf cart having a 'bro' talk about Beatrice."
She scrounged a pair of pink argyle socks for the caddy.
Fristoe is one of 73 apprentice technicians and 43 apprentice singers preparing for the Santa Fe Opera's annual "Apprentice Scenes" concerts on Aug. 11 and 18. The scenes are fully staged and costumed by the novice artists. Opera staff members chose the technicians from 700 applicants; the singers came from 1,000 hopefuls. The Aug. 11 program features excerpts from "Don Giovanni," "Beatrice and Benedict," "Don Pasquale," "Boulevard Solitude," "Carmen," "Count Ory," "Ariodante" and "Falstaff." The Aug. 18 lineup includes scenes from "Elektra," "Billy Budd," "Lakme," "The Bartered Bride," "Die Fledermaus," "Giulio Cesare," "Doubt" and "The Italian Girl in Algiers."
The costume apprentices also stitch clothing for the SFO's five productions: "Oscar," "La Donna Del Lago," "The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein," "The Marriage of Figaro" and "La Traviata." They may also work in crafts or in the millinery shop.
"They become part of the wardrobe staff and work with the singers," SFO costume director Erica Burds said.
The costume apprentices usually come from a theater background. Opera demands a different approach to wardrobe.
"Usually with a singer, they're much more concerned with the breath they can take and how loose is this" clothing, Burds said. "They need motion and movement. That's something new to (the apprentices). Usually, they're thinking, 'This is my character.'
"Singers tend to stand differently than actors," Burds added. "Women may stand forward, so they have to adjust for that with the hems."
When the individual production scenes debut, each costume apprentice creates her own ensembles from the opera's extensive stock stashed in a basement beneath Stieren Hall, the orchestra's rehearsal hall.
To participate, each must pen a cover letter explaining why they want to work with a specific director on a particular scene.
"It's like applying for a job," Burds said.
The directors try to be specific while still giving the apprentices some freedom.
"They'll talk about, 'I want to set it in the 1950s in a picnic scene,' " Burds explained.
This summer marks Fristoe's second year as an apprentice. The 30-year-old Santa Fe resident worked for a friend in London on costumes for such pictures as "High School Musical 1 and 2," "Ratatouille" and "Yes Men." She also studied at the London College of Fashion.
"I enjoy styling a lot," she said.
"I collect lace and silk," the acknowledged fabric junkie added. "I'm always hoarding fabric."
"She's very quiet, but she picks up a lot of things," Burds said of Fristoe. "She has a different eye, because she has a background in fashion, which is refreshing for us."
Fristoe recently designed her own swimwear line she hopes to sell online. She also wants to design clothing for modern dancers.
"I'm obsessed with Russian constructivism and geometry," she said. "I'm obsessed with the Ballets Russes." Sarah Wyman, 23, worked on clothing for scenes from "Don Pasquale" and "Die Fledermaus." The Los Alamos resident has been stitching and styling since May.
Wyman researched the opera's period costume books, as well as her own, to glean ideas for a stage silhouette.
"I'm looking for a high-waisted skirt that has a flair or is fitted to the knee," she said. "And a sleeveless top because (my director) wanted her to be fun and flirty."
Wyman is dressing the character of Norina in "Fledermaus," who enters disguised in a plain beige overcoat. She pretends to be an innocent convent girl to fool the character of Ernesto. Eventually, she removes her outer clothing to reveal a spaghetti-strapped black cocktail minidress cinched in a floral scarf.
"She becomes this hip girl who wants to spend his money," Wyman explained. "It's conveying a character."
Clothing can signal age, status, social class or even race, she said.
Wyman came to the opera on the recommendation of her University of New Mexico professor, Burds said. She has been attending the opera since she was a child, which was a plus, Burds added.
"She is constantly asking questions," Burds said. "She just wants to soak in knowledge. She's always experimenting."
Wyman's mother taught her how to sew dolls' dresses. Her interest in costuming flourished after she took a college class. Now she hopes to enter the film industry. Keira Knightley —— of "Pride and Prejudice" fame —— is her dream model.
"Keira Knightley does the period shows and that's my obsession," Wyman said, " —— long skirts and bustles."
Fristoe has already dressed a star; she made Joyce DiDonato's skirt in this summer's Santa Fe production of "La Donna Del Lago."
"It's a cotton/linen skirt," she said. "It's sort of peasant-y. It's going to the Met."

There's always so many other reasons not to be in the now. It seems like our whole society is in a constant state of past and future that the now becomes this passive thought. I think that if we are able to realize that we are the activity then we will be less inclinde to look to other events that don't actually exist because they havn't yet happened or they are gone in the past. But the now also sometimes feels like dancing on a pin head. As soon as you have it you lose it and you start thinking or trying to define, you get right back into your grooves and just spin and spin. I think this is less frustraiting when you realize that like water though our thoughts may rain, evaporate, or flow in the ocean that they are all water then we can handle these grooves with the dancing rather than the thinking.
There are so many distractions that keep us from the now, however sometimes not being in the now seems more comfortable then being in the now because that is where i have lived for so long. Regret over the past, fear of the future. For me that natural state of being is living in the now, however it also seems to be the most uncomfortable as i'm not use to the feeling.
That's it?

North Lincoln High senior Trish Moeller will be broadening her horizons early next year as she sets her sights on a Texas trip after her invitation to join the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band Color Guard.
Moeller was officially inducted last week during a ceremony at NLHS attended by the All-American selection team and members from the U.S. Army, along with school cheerleaders and the senior's peers. A four-year color guard member, the North Lincoln student is one of two chosen from the state and will be performing alongside nearly 130 marching band students from across the country.
She follows four previous NLHS students who were selected in previous years — one of the highest awards bestowed on a high school band student nationally, North Lincoln band director Neil Underwood said.
Underwood chose five students from his band, but Moeller was the only student selected from not only his nominations, but the county as well. He boasted about her skills as not only a color guard member, but also as a scholar and a bassoonist, too. She decided to audition, which she did in May, and will be heading to San Antonio for a fully-funded trip to play at the halftime show at the All-American Bowl set to be televised on Jan. 5.
In addition, Moeller was also accepted to be a member of the eight-person riffle line, who will have a performance at the football game as well.
"I feel honored, actually," Moeller told the Times-News last week. "It feels amazing to be with such talented kids and to be a part of something so big."

Yellow vaginal discharge
Yellow vaginal discharge can be a symptom of several conditions and diseases. Several factors can cause vaginal discharge that is yellow in color, thick and bears a foul odor. Some women can get such yellow discharge before period, while others can get it after period.
Yellow vaginal discharge could be associated with vaginitis, cervicitis and/or sexually transmitted diases (STDs)
YELLOW VAGINAL DISCHARGE – Vaginitis
Vaginitis can be caused by yeast infection or trichomoniasis or bacterial vaginosis. Vaginitis caused by candida is more common and it can cause thick vaginal discharge of white (like cottage cheese) or yellow color. If the discharge is yellow, greenish or gray in color and is frothy, then it can be caused by the trichomoniasis. If the vaginal discharge is white or yellow, but thin and homogenous, then it may indicate bacterial vaginosis.
YELLOW VAGINAL DISCHARGE – Cervicitis
Sometimes, a large amount of yellow discharge can be a sign of cervicitis. Cervicitis is the condition, characterized by the inflammation of the cervix. It can cause vaginal discharge that can be yellow or grayish in color and bears a bad smell. Vaginal discharge associated with cervicitis can appear to be pus like. This type of discharge is called "mucopurulent discharge". Apart from these, yellow vaginal discharge can be caused by conditions like, cervical polyps, sexually transmitted diseases like, gonorrhea and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Pale yellow discharge during pregnancy, which does not smell bad, can be normal. Women can experience an increase in watery discharge during pregnancy due to an increase in the flow of blood to the vaginal area and also because of rising levels of pregnancy hormones. In early pregnancy, the discharge is more likely to be white or clear, but in late pregnancy, the discharge can assume a light yellow color. But, if the vaginal discharge is frothy or it develops a foul smell and causes itching and irritation, then it can be caused by vaginal infection.
|Vaginal discharge
Fertility problem
Vaginal bleeding
Yellow vaginal discharge
Cervicitis is swelling (inflammation) of the end of the uterus (cervix).
The following sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can be a cause of yellow vaginal discharge and cause of cervicitis – Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Herpes virus (genital herpes), Human papilloma virus (genital warts) and Trichomoniasis.
Cervicitis is most often caused by an infection. However, in a few cases it may be due to Cervical cap, Pessary, Diaphragm or allergy to spermicides used for birth control or to latex in condoms.
Bacteria (such as staphylococcus and streptococcus) and too much growth of normal bacteria in the vagina (bacterial vaginosis), can also cause cervicitis.
| Pain
Vaginal dryness
Brown vaginal discharge
Yellow vaginal discharge
Pain in urethra
Irritation and itching of the genital area
Foul vaginal odor
Discomfort or burning when urinating
| Vulvovaginitis
Vulvovaginitis is inflammation or infection of the vulva and vagina.
Vulvovaginitis can affect women of all ages. Most women had vulvovagonotis at least once during reproductive period. It can be caused by bacteria, yeasts, viruses, and other parasites. Some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can also cause vulvovaginitis, as can various chemicals found in bubble baths, soaps, and perfumes. Environmental factors such as poor hygiene and allergens may also cause this condition.
|Fertility problem
Yellow vaginal discharge
Burning sensation during urination
Painful sexual intercourse
Pelvic Imflammatory Diseases (PID)
Loss of appetite
Yellow eyes (possible)
Discharge from anusOnly about 30% of women with chlamydia have symptoms.
Chlamydia is a disease caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is most commonly sexually transmitted.
Safe sexual practices and consistent condom use are important ways to help reduce your chances of becoming infected with chlamydia.
A screening test for chlamydia is recommended each year for:
|Fishy smell in the genital area
Greyish-white or grayish-yellow vaginal discharge
Vaginal discharge grayish-yellow after sexual intercourse
Absence of soreness or irritation.
|Bacterial Vaginosis
Every woman has many varieties of harmless bacteria in her vagina. In bacterial vaginosis, some of the bacteria multiply too much, so that more are present than is normal (especially Gardnerella and Mobiluncus bacteria).
The main symptom of vaginal vaginosis is a fishy smell in the genital area. You may notice that the smell is worse after sex and during your period.
There is usually a discharge, which is watery and greyish-white or grayish-yellow in color. The amount of vaginal discharge that is considered normal varies from woman to woman. Therefore, any degree of vaginal discharge that is abnormal for a particular woman should be evaluated. In general the bacterial vaginosis does not cause soreness or irritation.
|Pelvic Pain
Mouth lesions
Feels hot to touch
Yellow vaginal discharge
Burning and pain while urinating
Increased urination
Sore throat
Painful sexual intercourse
Fever (if the infection spreads to the fallopian tubes and stomach area)Symptoms of gonorrhea usually appear 2 – 5 days after infection
| Gonorrhea
Gonorrhea is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Gonorrhea is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhea. Anyone who has any type of sex can catch gonorrhea. The infection can be spread by contact through the mouth, vagina, penis, or anus.
|Greenish yellow, frothy, fishy-smelling vaginal discharge
Strong vaginal odor
Irritation and soreness in the genital area
Discomfort during intercourse
Urination problems
"Strawberry cervix"Symptoms of trichomoniasis usually appear in women within 5 to 28 days of exposure.
Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) that affects young, sexually active women. Trichomoniasis is caused by the single-celled protozoan parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis.

Mumbai: The absence of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa could cast a shadow over the BJP National Executive beginning in Mumbai today. The meet is all set to pave the way for a second term to party chief Nitin Gadkari.
The party has been insisting that all those invited are coming, but Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi will be skipping at least Day 1 of the two-day meet.
Former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa, who is unhappy over the failure of the party leadership to reinstate him, has already declared that he also would not be going to Mumbai.
"Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi will take part in a function to celebrate birth anniversary of Maharana Pratap in Udaipur in Rajasthan tomorrow," an official statement from the Narendra Modi's office said on Wednesday. Mr Modi had not also attended the last meeting of the National Executive held in Delhi in December, reportedly miffed by the induction of his bete noire Sanjay Joshi in the Uttar Pradesh election campaign by Mr Gadkari. Mr Modi had not campaigned in the UP polls.
Interestingly, Mr Modi's detractor Keshubhai Patel, whom he replaced as Chief Minister over a decade ago, is planning to make it to the National Executive after staying away from it for three years.
This national executive is significant as it is the first major gathering of the BJP's top leaders ahead of the Assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, the two party-ruled states, scheduled by the end of this year. The National Executive meet would also provide opportunity to the party to formulate a strategy on the Presidential election, party sources said.
A highlight of the National Executive is its formal endorsement of a resolution to amend the party constitution allowing a second term to the party President. This will pave the way for Mr Gadkari to stay at the helm of the BJP for another three years after he completes his current term in December.
Addressing party workers on arrival at the airport, Mr Gadkari said on Wednesday, "The UPA government has just completed three years of its second term. There is nothing positive about its performance Price rise, corruption and unemployment are its only achievements."
"There is despair among people and the two-day national executive meeting will discuss and deliberate inspiration, strength and vision of bringing about a change in the country," he added.
Mumbai could also see efforts by BJP to enlarge the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) at a time when surveys are projecting a boost to the opposition in the next general election.The party has been in political wilderness at the Centre for eight years.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - "It was a crazy scene, man," witness Manny Munod said.
The scene Munod is talking about is composed of a bleeding suspect, a banged up car and several BSO Deputies.
"I thought the cops were gonna shoot him or kill him," Munod added.
Deputies had been following this case for months. Friday, it all began as they were tailing suspect Robert Weiner all the way from Deerfield Beach.
When they got to Hallandale Beach, Weiner realized they were following him and turned into a parking lot. Deputies say that's when he rammed a BSO car and tried to flee.
A K9 unit bit Weiner, and then deputies took him into custody.
"I was shocked, real shocked, real shocked," Munod said. "I seen 10 cops come out of nowhere and pull the guns on him."
Weiner, they say, is wanted on a string of charges including fraud and theft for allegedly luring in high-end escorts and not paying them.
He was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital as a precaution to treat the dog bite before he is finally taken to the jail.
"It was crazy, bro... really crazy man," Munod said.

Win 8 first look
As Spice, GoldWave, Groove Mechanic, and SoundEasy do a pretty good job of bringing my current XP to its knees, I was looking for a new desktop. Just took a first look at Win 8. I guess Microsoft is trying to make me buy an Apple. That has got to be the worst desktop environment I have ever seen. Ever. Going to go for the Win 7 downgrade Microsoft is offering.
Microsoft has even stated they think desktops and laptops are dead. Somehow they think an iPad will replace my twin head desktop for spreadsheets, word processing, and engineering. No way in (that place) will a pad be able to render the kind of graphics gamers want over the internet from a utility cloud in the next 10 years. It is just that darn speed of light problem. It is amazing how they have been so wrong so many times and still make money. Linux anyone?
No more Firewire ports built in. Good thing I have an old 4-port one lane card so I can plug in my backup drive and M-Audio Profire.

Absolutely agree with you. I´v had Win 8 installed for the last year (yes) and I just don´t like the interface, but I have to say that it is stable as Win 7. Ubuntu is also working in a new interface, let´s see. Kubuntu with Amarok is nice, and there is a plain linux distro also from Cannonical that is easy with hardware.

It seems Win 8 does not support Firewire at all. Need to check out the optional Win 7 downgrade option. Morons. I need to support my Profire 610 and my external hard drives.

The second HP support rep now says WIn 8 does support FireWire if you put in a card. Several threads on other sites say they dropped the drivers. RC vs ship? Don't know what the facts are now. The MS compatibility checker says my Office 2000 is incompatible. Well, I run Office 2010. It did not see any of my perferials, but said a printer that does not exist was just fine. Useless like all MS support.
I saw a note a company is selling a "start button" add-on for $5.
One thing for sure, you sure can't get straight technical answers any more. I asked HP what model hard drive was in their PC and was told "the 2TB one". I asked the "expert" in a red sign office store how many slots it had, and he said " 4 USB". He did not know what an internal PCI slot was. This was the expert called over by the department sales clerk! My wife was a fine arts major and she knows more about computers than these moron kids, but can't get a job. (female, white, old)
Unfortunately, if your PC is connected to a network, you really should run a current OS due to security problems. The reason there are so many botnets out there is people who don't manage their systems responsibly. 95 was pretty decent, but can't support multi-core, slow, crashed, and can't support 64 bit apps. As the world switches to IP6, you will be forced to upgrade or stay off-line.
If I remember: 95 was a 16 bit shell, on an 8 bit OS, designed for a 4 bit processor, by a 2 bit company, that did not give 1 bit for the customer.

I like Windows 8. Start button = Full screen Tiles - too much aido about the Start menu. I am an PC enthusiast but my wife a casual user likes as well. Very stable, performs very well. A bit of a learning curve on the UI but nothing real difficult. Did you try to call M-Audio for support on your Profire 610? It would be there responsibility to provide drivers for Windows 8. With Windows 8 Hyper-v, you can run Ubuntu as a virtual desktop if you like. MAC OS in Hyper-v is possible in theory, but not legal from Apple licensing

You can't call M-audio. Everything is a third party paid support. You can get ignored on their user forum for free. I like their products, but their support is worse than Microsoft. In contrast, you can get to a real person at e-mu only to be told they know they have a driver memory leak in the 1616 and it crashes if you have on-board video and they have no intention of fixing it. Basically, "up yours". That is why I went M-audio. At least it works. BTW, after M-audio's their buyout, they no longer support any of their USP products. I was over on Sweetwater's WEB and there are some very good looking units from companies that don't have an attitude yet.
A virtual desktop still requires a base OS (or hypervisor) that has the hardware drivers. There are some DSP apps I would like to run that are Linux, so I look forward to that.
As I said, I played with the new tile screen. Fine for a phone, terrible for a business desktop. It takes too many actions to do things. Basically, they put in a fix for problem they don't have. Hidden off-screen phantom buttons and translucent drop downs you can't see if you are over the age of 10. Nope, bad design. At least they are reasonably open, not like Apple, so third parties can provide a fix. I sure hope I can find something that works like PrintKey2000. That's probably the best utility I ever downloaded since DirectoryFreedom in the pre-windows era. Such a simple thing, works so well. Original Paint. Use it all the time as it is simple and stupid.

As far as I understood it, the main difference of W7 to W8 was the introduction of the metro interface
(that you don't need to use) and then the removal of the windows start button in desktop mode and the introduction of something else. This something else basically a tab that pops up and includes your most used programs etc and then anything you've pinned to it. As this is all I use my start button for in W7 anyway, I can't see it as a huge issue. Or have I missed something?
I'm not exactly thinking of a move to W8 as there's nothing wrong with W7 and none of the W8 features really appeal to me, but they don't turn me off either, it's just seems different.
What the hell are you screamin' for? Every five minutes there's a bomb or somethin'! I'm leavin! bzzzz! Now with website! www.5een.co.uk under construction.

I bought a copy of Win 8 to play with. After a long ugly experience with Vista, I will not install it on my prime machine. I'll put together a Core i3 box to play with.
I had an old M-audio Audiophile 2496 (10 year old date codes). I downloaded the Win 7 drivers and it works great. I now have 3 M-audio cards and they work with XP, and 7. The old 2496 will go in the 8 box as soon as my Newegg order gets here. I will be running Cakewalk Sonar X2 which will NOT run on the Vista/EMu system. Neither will Sonar X1. Older versions run OK.
Tubelab, it's 5 year mission. To explore strange new tubes, to seek out new circuits and topologies, to boldly go where no tube has gone before......

Ring in the New Year with a Fondue Party!
4 Comments | Written on December 30, 2010 at 5:00 am , by Kristina Vanni
What is more fun than fondue?! Huddling with your friends around warm, gooey cheeses, or decadent, rich chocolate. All this, and you get an awesome skewer to poke and dip to your hearts content!
This New Year's Eve, why not host a fondue party! It is a hassle-free way to feed your guests and have fun along the way. My favorite recipe is this Cheese-Bacon-Beer Fondue. I mean, seriously…three of the greatest things in the world all melted together! Resolutions can wait…enjoy some fondue this weekend!
6 slices of bacon
1 cup ale or lager beer
1 pound extra-sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded (about 6 cups)
1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1. Place the bacon in a cold, large skillet. Cook over medium heat until crisp and brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain and cool. Finely chop the bacon.
2. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the ale to a bare simmer over medium heat. In a medium bowl, toss the cheese with the flour. Gradually stir the cheese into the saucepan, stirring the first batch until melted before adding another. In a small bowl, dissolve the mustard in the Worcestershire sauce. Stir into the fondue, along with the chopped bacon. Allow the fondue to come to a bare simmer, but do not boil. Season generously with the pepper.
3. Transfer to a cheese fondue pot and keep warm over a fondue burner. Serve immediately, with dipping ingredients of your choice.
Recommended for Dipping: Toasted English muffins, cut into wedges. Assorted apples and pears, cut into slices.

The rhetoric is a communication theory originally developed by Aristotle as a means of challenging a number of prevailing assumptions about what constitutes an effective presentation. Aristotle's definition of rhetoric: the available means of persuasion. Think of rhetoric as a means of adding dimensions to the communication process to make it clear and understandable. Aristotle believes the communication process is dynamic; the communication process is not a single or linear process. According to Rhetorical Theory, communicating and presenting information is not just sending a static message and hoping the audience reads or listens; the process is considerably more dynamic.
Rhetoric is the reliance on different emotions, questions, facts and figures, moving language, and hard hitting information to make your message easier to understand more likely to persuade. Rhetoric is an important tool for speech writers, advertisers, attorneys, legislators, clergy, teachers, and media writers.
Part I on the theory is here.
Syllogisms and Enthymemes: A Three-Tiered Argument
Logos is one of the three proofs that, according to Aristotle, create a more effective message. Nestled in these logical proofs is something called syllogisms. Communication scholars have studied the Rhetoric and its meaning for years and have attempted to untangle some of Aristotle's words. Two of the most discussed terms are syllogism and enthymeme.
The first word, syllogism, has evoked some scholarly concern among rhetorical theorists. We define syllogism as a set of propositions that are related to one another and draw a conclusion from the major and minor premises. Typically, syllogisms contain two premises and a conclusion. A syllogism is nothing more than a deductive argument, which is a group of statements (premises) that lead to another group of statements (conclusions). In other words, premises are starting points or beginnings used by speakers. They establish justification for a conclusion. In a syllogism, both major and minor premises exist.
For Example:
Major Premise: Many college students are required to write regularly.
Minor Premise: Regular blogging allows college students to express their thought and ideas and practice writing.
Conclusion: Therefore, college students are better bloggers.
An enthymeme is a "syllogism based on probabilities, signs, and examples, [and] whose function is rhetorical persuasion." The three elements of the definition are probabilities, signs, and examples.
Probabilities are statements that are generally true. According to Aristotle, enthymemes rest on probabilities and not on absolute truth. For speakers, probabilities are suggested in their speeches. (For examnple; Most of the people who visit IGN regularly are gamers. It is likely "Most the people who visit IGN regularly are gamers" is true, but I cannot provide absolute proof of it.)
Signs are statements that identify reasons for a fact. Aristotle believes that some signs are established with certainty, whereas others warrant scientific proof. For instance, an irrefutable sign may take the following form: "Drinking too much and getting behind the wheel of a car can jeopardize lives." This is a sign that has been validated by research. However, "She is drinking and will get into a car accident" needs further scientific validation because not everyone who drinks gets into an accident.
Examples pertain to those statements that are either actual or invented by the speaker. Aristotle maintains that examples are inductively derived; that is, from a specific claim, audiences develop general beliefs about the topic. (For Example: "Women are attracted to men who appear strong" will lead male audience members to the general proposition: "If I were more strong and confident I could probably attract more women.")
How does the enthymeme relate to persuasive speaking? Audiences tend to favor messages whereby they can supply a premise or deduce a conclusion for themselves rather than being told what to do or think. Formal syllogisms can offend an audience if they are too obvious in structure. For a persuasive speech, then, speakers should afford the audience some opportunity to fill in the blanks. (For example: There was once a time when game companies would provide what gamers asked for. This generation's gamers don't seem to be getting the games they want. Audience conclusion (hopefully): maybe it's time for us to make a greater effort to let the gaming companies know what we want.)
Audiences probably already have information about the topic from the media or from their own experiences. Again, as with other aspects of Aristotelian theory, the audience remains a critical part of the enthymeme.
Aristotle confuses many readers of the Rhetoric by noting that the enthymeme is both similar to and different from the syllogism. Some scholars have attempted to clear up the confusion. They observe that Aristotle regarded the enthymeme as a method of persuasion "which has the same relationship to rhetoric that the syllogism has to logic". The authors note that both are forms of reasoning, both are types of knowledge, and both are essentially the same in structure. The primary difference between the two is that while syllogisms deal with certainties, enthymemes deal with probabilities. To distinguish between a syllogism and an enthymeme, consider the following example:
Major Premise: Many college students are required to write regularly.
Minor Premise: Regular blogging allows college students to express their thought and ideas and practice writing.
Conclusion: Therefore, college students are better bloggers.
Premise: Many college students are required to write regularly.
Conclusion: Therefore, college students might be better bloggers.
As you can see, syllogisms lead to a conclusion supported by what could be called universal truths (Many college students are required to write regularly). The enthymeme, however, leads to a conclusion drawn from an incomplete premise. In other words, the enthymeme leaves off a critical premise that the syllogism contains (Regular blogging allows college students to express their thought and ideas and practice writing).
Our discussion of the enthymeme and its relationship to other Aristotelian proofs merits a brief comment. First, it is important to understand that although Aristotle believes that the enthymeme is directly related to logos, some rhetorical scholars wish to link enthymemes with other proofs. Some scholars remind us that the enthymeme is the foundation of all persuasive discourse. It, therefore, is necessarily linked with ethos and pathos. An enthymeme's persuasive power lies in its ability to be logical, ethical, and pathetical. Experts note, "Enthymemes may be used not only to establish a conclusion as a probable truth but also to alter the emotions of the listeners or to develop their confidence in the character of the speaker."
An audience member may accept the logic of an argument, for example, because the argument elicits some emotion from the audience (pathos) and the speaker is seen as credible (ethos). Hence, enthymemes should be viewed expansively.
Enthymemes are a critical part of the speaking process for Aristotle. Speakers use them to enhance effectiveness in their speeches. In addition to enthymemes, speakers also incorporate other techniques.
Part 3 will introduce the Canons of Rhetoric.

New York - The United Nations issued an urgent appeal on Tuesday for $1.27 billion for aid for South Sudan, hit by a seven-week-old conflict that has forced close to a million people from their homes.
"The priority is to save lives now, and ensure that we have food, medicine and other life-saving supplies prepositioned in the field, in easy reach of aid agencies before the rains hit and the roads become impassable," said Toby Lanzer, the UN's top aid official in South Sudan.
Describing the impact of the fighting as "devastating", he said there were 3.2 million people suffering the humanitarian consequences, including 900 000 people who have been forced to abandon their homes and thousands more wounded.
"Livelihoods have been lost, and people's ability to move livestock to pasture, to fish or to hunt, has been severely compromised," he said.
"I ask the international donor community to stand with the people of South Sudan and the aid agencies working here to help them before the situation gets even worse," Lanzer added.
Fighting broke out in South Sudan on December 15 between troops loyal to President Salva Kiir and those allied to ousted vice-president Riek Machar, and quickly spread throughout the country.
Entire towns have been destroyed in the violence, with aid agencies and analysts estimating that close to 10 000 people have lost their lives in little more than a month.
The government and rebels signed a ceasefire agreement in neighbouring Ethiopia on January 23, but sporadic fighting has continued to rage.
The work of aid agencies has been complicated by widespread looting of humanitarian supplies by both sides in the conflict.
On Monday, Unicef said it was "extremely concerned" after government soldiers were pictured carrying bright-blue backpacks that were supposed to be destined for children but had been looted from a UN store.
Vehicles, food stockpiles and medicines have also been looted from organisations including the International Committee of the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders and the World Food Programme.

Brand Schmand
by: Chick Housam
RT&E President and CEO
Brand schmand. We've all been tempted to say it. Whenever someone approaches us with their take on how to improve the brand we politely inform them that what they are talking about is identity, or positioning, or core competency, or any one of a hundred different items that can all be mistaken for 'branding'.
And truth be told, branding is sometimes over used. Especially when the issue is sales, product volume, work force training and motivation or my favorite, a hell of a good, old fashioned advertising campaign.
Public relations in today's environment is a discipline of communications that creates awareness of a company or organization and its expertise which will lead to more business opportunities. It is also a method of reaching targeted audiences with a strategic message to positively encourage a specific action or perception. The media relations component of an overall PR strategy is only one of several "tools" to be employed to communicate a targeted message to a precisely defined audience. In the case of working with the media—either business-to-business or consumer; print, broadcast or on-line—the goal is to reach the audience of that outlet who view that publication, show or website as a source of credible, valuable information.
But in case you're stuck with a persistent boss, supervisor or mother-in-law who's convinced they know branding I direct you to the link below. Its Business Week's precis on branding, a real good synopsis of what most of us know but which can be very useful when dealing with the unenlightened. Good reading.
So, should you hire a consultant or agency to handle your public relations activities? Consider the advice offered by Dick Placzek, who heads up an agency in Lincoln, Nebraska that specializes in outdoor recreation markets. Placzek says to look at the relationship you have with your accountant or attorney. He says if you don't try to manage your own books or make legal decisions, why would you conduct your own marketing or public relations?

Get help with model creation and access to local printers
3D Print Place is a new community site for 3D printing. It aims to be a place where people of all skill levels can get involved and have access to everything they need to make things.
There's a design library for sharing paid & free content, an area to collaborate on creating difficult models, an upcoming design league for friendly competition, and a marketplace for printers & materials.
The features I'm most interested in though, are the Print Exchange and the Scan Exchange. What they let you do is work out a deal with someone local who has a 3D printer or scanner, and is willing to provide service on them.
The site itself is still in beta (having launched at 3D Printing Event in October), so it's still a bit rough around the edges, but I think that it's worth keeping an eye on.
Here's the launch video from 3D Printing Event where the goals of the site are explained:

A Global Tour of 7 Recent Droughtsby -
This blog post is based on a presentation for GE and the Wharton School of Business, entitled "The Economic Power of Water." Learn more about the event.
Every inhabited continent, to varying degrees, faces extremely high water stress. That means that in certain areas more than 80 percent of the local water supply is withdrawn by businesses, farmers, residents and other consumers every year. Not all of that water is consumed - it may flow back into a river after it's used and be available again downstream - but the demand still creates competition where it is needed.
These "stressed" areas are also the ones most vulnerable to episodic droughts. With chronic over-use of water resources, it only takes a string of a few bad rainfall years or poor management decisions to plunge a region into crisis and chaos.
And indeed, that is what we appear to be seeing across the world over the past few years. Here's a look at seven extreme droughts that have occurred in the past decade:
Australia's one-in-a-thousand-year drought
Australia's "Millennium" drought began in 1995 and continued country-wide until late 2009. Reservoir levels fell precipitously, as did crop production and industrial water use. A number of cities, including Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, built desalination plants in an effort to partially drought-proof themselves, while other areas pursued grey water recycling projects. Between 2001 and 2012, the federal government provided $4.5 billion in assistance to drought-affected farmers and small businesses .
In 2010-11, following quickly on the heels of the drought, Australia experienced its worst flooding in half a century, as an area of Queensland larger than the size of France and Germany combined flooded, affecting 200,000 people and costing at least $10 billion.
Spain imports water by ship
Drought in Spain's northeastern region of Catalonia grew so severe in 2008 that Barcelona began importing water by ship from France. About 70 percent of Spain's water goes to agriculture, much of which is "wasted in antiquated irrigation systems and the cultivation of thirsty crops unsuitable for arid lands," according to The Independent . Other critics pointed to low water prices as the culprit for the crisis. Low water prices, it is often argued, result in profligate water use and low investment in water-efficient infrastructure.
Northern India's groundwater loss can be seen from space
Twin satellites from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) are able to detect changes in the Earth's gravity field brought about by changes in mass distribution, including changes in groundwater storage. Nowhere on Earth are groundwater declines greater than in northern India; NASA found that large-scale irrigation caused 108 cubic kilometers of groundwater loss in Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Delhi between 2002 and 2008. The study's lead, Matt Rodell, observed that "The region has become dependent on irrigation to maximize agricultural productivity. If measures are not taken to ensure sustainable groundwater usage, the consequences for the 114 million residents of the region may include a collapse of agricultural output and severe shortages of potable water. "
In July 2012, roughly half of India's population – about 670 million people or 10 percent of the world's population – temporarily lost power following a massive grid failure. Some experts laid the blame on the severe drought affecting northern India. Low rainfall restricted the amount of power delivered by hydroelectric dams, and farmers used more power than usual to run water pumps to irrigate their crops .
The dark side of China's boom
Much of northern China is relatively dry, not unlike California and the rest of the U.S. West. Yet it's also traditionally produced significant amounts of wheat and other grains, thanks to flood irrigation. Add to this inefficient system skyrocketing water use by industry, energy and municipalities, and China's future might be drying up .
Government officials are starting to take action. Water is now one of China's public policy priorities, and the central government recently launched a "Three Red Lines" policy to improve water use efficiency and place caps on water demand. Yet it remains unclear whether these policies are sufficient to overcome the country's vast water challenges.
Mesopotamian nightmare
From 2006 through 2011, Syria suffered its worst drought and crop failure in recorded history. The GRACE satellite data revealed "an alarming rate of decrease in total water storage in the Tigris and Euphrates river basins, which [at the time had] the second fastest rate of groundwater storage loss on Earth, after India. " While many other factors – political, social and religious – have contributed to the Syrian military conflict, experts argue that "the decrease in water availability, water mismanagement, agricultural failures, and related economic deterioration contributed to population dislocations and the migration of rural communities to nearby cities. These factors further contributed to urban unemployment, economic dislocations, food insecurity for more than a million people, and subsequent social unrest. "
Southeastern Brazil on the brink
Parts of southeastern Brazil, including the cities of São Paolo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte, are struggling through the worst drought in 84 years, with 40 million people and the nation's "economic heartbeat" at risk. Reservoirs that supply water to these cities are at dangerously low levels. They're also highly polluted, complicating things even further.
Unfortunately, politicians have failed to act decisively to take steps to minimize the impact of the crisis, raising levels of public distrust and frustration. There has even been talk of exporting "water refugees" and bringing in the military to help out if matters grow worse.
Turning now to California
California is in the throes of an unprecedented drought, now in its fourth year. Governor Jerry Brown ordered mandatory restrictions on water use by state municipalities early last month, and a group of farmers with senior rights have since given up a quarter of their water this year in exchange for being spared deeper mandatory cuts . The situation is bad – even desperate for some farmers. As I argued in a recent blog, the state needs to improve its water governance in order to protect its economic interests and its citizens.
The Situation Is Poised to Worsen
WRI's Aqueduct project's forthcoming projections for global water stress in 2020, 2030 and 2040 indicate that the global water picture is likely going to get worse over the next few decades. Larger populations and growing economies demand more water, and in some places, climate change will likely reduce available water supply. While our vulnerability to drought grows, the incidence of extreme weather events, including drought, will grow as well, according to most climate change experts.
Yet in this knowledge lies power. We know that drought risk is high and growing worldwide. We're already seeing the impact water scarcity has on citizens, on the environment and on economies. Sustainable water-management plans, clear government monitoring and management policies and wise natural and engineered infrastructure investments could have helped to shore up the dwindling water supply, alleviating impacts on people, planet and economy.
It's time to put this information into action. Businesses, governments and all water managers must quickly and intelligently and take measures to reduce vulnerability to drought events.
In Central Amèrica, and could
In Central Amèrica, and could be the same in others áreas, mining industry extract and take out, away millons of galons of fresh wáter from the mountains; dry the mountain is part of the process, and pollution of rivers and lakes due to agriculture, not treatment plants in some cities and villages,
Input Data, Analysis, Period
Input Data, Analysis, Period - Great to see this article, and that this 'global mapping' work is being done. Please note, large areas of northern New South Wales and southern Queensland (eastern Australia) which show as extreme drought in the mapping presented, have recently received record flooding - similar to that reported for Queensland in this article. It would be great if future articles such as this could also present some reference to the data sets, analysis, and 'mapping period' for which the maps have been produced, or at least a link. Thanks again.
WRI again lead in critical
WRI again lead in critical discussions to repair the 300+ years of stripping of the baseline assets soil, water, vegetation and atmosphere. I refer to your release today from Bonn "a pathway to reach the COP15 decision of securing $100 billion of climate finance annually by 2020" and the simultaneous release "The Economic Power of Water." No responsible financial / insurance corporation will risk B$100 on the proposed Bonn plan.
There is however, a science nature based protocol to lower 300 yrs of CO2e, reverse droughts, deserts, poverty, by 2020 with serious expanding perpetual annual returns. Well planned returns for all actors by 2020 and perpetual, meeting UNFCCC 100 yr rules!
Invited by the UN USG I sat on committees of the Kyoto protocol 1996-00 travelling the world to assemblies detouring to deserts and poverty regions.
Replicating Nature C/Change Earth repair www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbI8YZmBP8g&feature=youtu.be a 1.2 minute clip growing soil in deserts. http://robertvincin2020.wix.com/soil (How soil atmosphere grew on Earth) Income generating!
Invited by PRC government 2005 I advise seven ministers and lecturer at Agriculture, Forestry, Science, Law universities of the science and low cost of growing soil, soil-carbon, sequestering large volumes of CO2e. (The area of desert to soil agreement 200m hectares 19%) by 2020 (see Google)
I respectfully suggest that WRI and indeed the Bonn assembly can achieve Earth reparation by 2020. The protocol lowers mass volumes of CO2e, reversing deserts, growing appropriate science-based native vegetation that excite historical transpiration evaporation rain cycles back to upper catchments.
For any responsible financial organization they will demand a precise business plan to show how any investment will ensure lowering mass volumes of the 300 years of CO2e buildup! With minimum research they will demand a plan for sustainable vegetation to excite transpiring coastal rains back to and over the mountain ranges and upper catchments. Without such a precise proven model plan the proposed B$100 ad hoc reparation model will be most unattractive to any investor. The however is, by replicating nature as we have done in China, and shortly in Australia and other countries the combined effort will also excite the essential rain cycles back to land locked countries and states (most of whom are keepers of the upper catchments).
With respect your scenarios 1-2-3-4 would be most unattractive to financial investors under proposed regime. As described in the paragraphs above reparation of Earth must be a "we" initiative. The reparation scenarios basically you outlined are doomed to fail! To get the essential rain-water back to catchments and storage totally dependent upon current or re-exciting historical wind and rain cycles from seas catchment. Therefore funding one particular country in isolation to undertake any form of reparation is a risk that no responsible insurance company would entertain let alone a financial institution.
The simple Kyoto protocol 1997 put in place by a wide array of true experts how to lower 300 years of CO2e and desert was, to plant out from coast to catchment the 2-4% of earth's vegetation capable of converting CO2e to grow soil. Well planned fodder year 1, year 2-3 crops and as soil expands year's 5-7 forestry. (Trees, rice, cotton, most grain vegetables take their biomass carbon and elements from the soil not atmosphere. They are motors not engines).
The bottom line is Earth is a business where its baseline yearling assets according to the UN are damaged in excess of 41%. Any global corporation with public investors by now would be in the hands of the receiver with such damage and loss of profit and no prospect of recovery. Earth is not only borrowed from the historians of tomorrow the business and indeed the home unless a master plan is in place the receiver "Nature" will apply reparation as she has done so before many times, preceding MAN! Clearly for any observer, reader, Nature is already showing the role of receiver!
So pre Paris send out an audit/ receivers report and show that by 2020 reparation back to sustainability and by forward selling UNFCCC low cost offsets the income covers all reparation and the annual yield from Kyoto offsets will aid poverty illiteracy where "developing Nations will purchase "commodities" from developed world Nations (bottom up recovery as any receiver would expect)
Without prejudice
Robert Vincin
For years and decades economy
For years and decades economy development has been seen as the "Santo Grial" goal of any country, mainly non developed ones. Nobody was aware of the impact on the environment of agriculture, mining and other related activities. Nobody said that in their own development Developed countries had already wasted the world to an extent that no more development is now possible, available or affordable. And now, what?. Also that the present sustainability is being endured by those who live in poverty is something that Nobody has the courage to say.
If one were to add an overlay
If one were to add an overlay of armed conflicts to your drought maps, would that be considered a coincidence or a cause & effect relationship?
We've known since 1972, when Limits To Growth was first published, that if we failed to solve the pollution problem "overshoot and collapse" would happen. We've failed to do that, haven't we. Meadows, et al, did not include the other consequences of dislocation, environmental immigrants, intolerance of "the other" and desperate conflicts. The insurance industrial complex and the military complexes have, but the political complexes have not, at least not in a peaceful way.
Is it even possible that an effective response to this existential threat exists now?
Led by and paid for by ...?

One unmentioned factor in the drought problems world wide is 'Ocean Pollution'. This added to the enormous reduction of wet-lands is reducing and will increasingly reduce evaporation worldwide.
If it doesn't go up, it can't come down.
Reduced evaporation = reduced precipitation.
We either stop polluting the oceans with oil and plastic, and clean them up, or welcome to planet Dune !

The Chardon School District is moving ahead with its search for a new superintendent to take over for the 2013-14 school year.
Although Joseph Bergant had previously announced his resignation for the current school year, he chose to remain after the Feb. 27 tragedy which left three students dead and others injured.
Bergant said his decision was based on a personal effort to help restore the learning environment and to aid with the healing process. At a school board meeting earlier this year board members noted that the process to restore the school environment after such a devastating incident was estimated to take 12 to 18 months.
School board members have contracted with the Ohio School Boards Association to assist with the new superintendent search.
A community focus group meeting to help develop a profile for the new leader will take place at 7 p.m. Nov. 29 at Chardon Middle School. Major issues facing the district for the next three to five years will be discussed as well as performance expectations and personal and professional qualities to be sought in the next superintendent.
Bergant, a 1975 graduate of North High School in Eastlake, served as superintendent of Fairport Harbor Schools prior to his hiring in Chardon in August 2005.

A group that protested Sabbath services at Cathedral of Hope on Sunday, Jan. 17, left Dallas after their appearance at the church.
The head of the group traveled to Dallas from Los Angeles to protest a Muslim conference in Garland and Saturday's MLK parade before heading over to Cathedral of Hope to spread the hate. Police confirmed Cathedral of Hope was the group's last stop before heading out of town.
"On their way out of town, why not harass others," Dallas police spokeswoman Monica Cordova said.
According to its website, gays are just a small portion of what this hate group protests. Among its other targets are Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, atheists, rebellious women, adulterers, pot smokers, abortionists, witches, blasphemers and … yes, hypocrites … because they're not that.
The Los Angeles-based group, Official Street Preachers, is headed by Ruben Israel Chavez aka Ruben Israel. The Southern Poverty Law Center lists it as a "general hate" group.
"These groups espouse a variety of rather unique hateful doctrines and beliefs that are not easily categorized," the SPLC writes about "general hate" groups. In other words, they don't specialize in their hate.
On his Facebook page, Israel wrote on Monday, Jan. 19:
Thank You facebookers for your prayers and those of you who funded my trip to Dallas.
I am back from Texas with all my fingers and toes and we were not alone, hundreds of Texans were outside the Muslim event with one accord "Islam is evil"
Below are just a few news stories as we 'made no small stir' in Garland.
Photo used is taken from the 'Christian Post'
Friday we stood outside the largest Mosque in Texas.
Saturday we witnessed at the Dallas MLK parade and later preached outside the Muslim event.
Sunday we stood outside a sodomite mega Church
I will post a full report later as I will being reminding those at the yearly MLK parade in Los Angeles of Jesus today.
So the hate came from California, not Texas, and is gone.

Bomberman '93
Review by Smasher09
"And the Bombs Bursting in Air; VC Review #3"
Okay, where do I start? Bomber man '93 is no doubt a very good game. Most Bomberman games are, save the ones that really screw up the formula. This one came out on the TurboGrafx in 1993, and thats where the title came from. Hopefully you didn't think this was the 92-nd sequel...
And hopefully you know the general bomber man game play as well. Playing from a birds-eye view, you control yor little white Eskimo robot in the basic four directions. Walls surround you, some breakable and some not. Enemies scatter the area. So what do you do? The answer here was taken from a PC Bomber man game manual:
1)-Drop a bomb
2)-Run like hell.
Seriously, thats what you do. Don't stand next to any of your explosives, unless you like to kamikaze, which really doesn't help. You begin out with one bomb, with a small radius of explosion. Throughout the levels you can find power-ups hidden in the sensitive walls. Some are pretty basic, like the fire power-up increases your blast radius, and the bomb token increases your number of bombs you can drop at a time by one.
All you have to worry about is two things, besides blowing yourself to bits: destroying all the enemies, and then finding the exit hidden in the explosive squares before time runs out. Sounds simple, no? Well, over the course of the game, the enemies get tougher and smarter, making things a challenge.
There's seven worlds and eight levels for each world. The eight level for each is a boss. Every level looks nice and has good music, I'm not a big whiner about games that came out before I learned to spell.
So, should you get this? As a rule of thumb, you can never go wrong with Bomber man, unless you're playing Act Zero. Especially a classic like this, it's worth the 600 points, plus the multi-player keeps it re-playable. (The multi-player is simple, so I'm not detailing it). Bomber man '93 is a pretty solid buy for the Wii, check it out yourself.

Chisago County Master Gardener
The variety of autumn colors depends on the temperature and amount of precipitation in late summer and fall. The temperature before and during the time chlorophyll dwindles in leaves is a key factor. Warm and sunny days, along with cool and crisp nights that aren't too frigid, will create the most spectacular color display. The leaf produces a lot of sugar on warm days and the leaf veins slowly close during cool nights. The closing keeps the sugars from moving out. Sugar and sunlight produce anthocyanins, which turn leaves red and purple. Carotenoids are always in leaves, causing yellow and gold colors to remain fairly constant from one year to the next.
Soil moisture also has an effect on tree color. Early displays of color can be attributed to cool, wet summers. Red foliage color may not be as striking when autumn is rainy and cloudy much of the time. The leaves make less sugar in the reduced sunlight. Sugar moves out of the leaves during warm nights and the leaves have less of it to form anthocyanins and thus, turn red and purple. A mild drought can brighten the display; a severe drought may make colors less intense. Sometimes, the leaves die early from lack of water. Pests, diseases and environmental problems may contribute to lack of foliage brilliance, as well.
So what plants should you choose for great fall color? Maples offer the most vivid fall color, bar none. For red foliage, look for the cultivar "Autumn Blaze" (Acer plus fremanii). This vibrant and very fast-growing hybrid combines the best traits of the parents, silver maple and red maple. "Northwood" is another beauty with brilliant orange-red or red fall foliage, and showy red flowers along the branches in early spring. It is also very cold hardy and is an excellent performer in northern areas. "Firefall" is a University of Minnesota creation that is known for early fall color, ranging from orange to fiery red. The sugar maple (Acer saccharum), also known as the Wisconsin state tree, grows slower than the red maple. It's a long-lived tree and very desirable for its symmetrical form. It turns anywhere from yellowish-orange to bright red. The cultivar "Legacy" shows off impressive fall color. The amur maple (Acer ginnala) is an ornamental tree ideal for smaller spaces. It has dainty leaves and exhibits colorful red fruit in summer. Fall color is orange-crimson to deep purple. Look for the varieties "Embers" and "Flame." The silver maple (Acer saccharinum) is the fastest-growing maple and makes a very good shade tree. The cultivar "Silver Queen" is gold in autumn. Among the oak trees, red oak (Quercus rubra) is an excellent choice for a yard, given its strong wood and glossy leaves that turn burgundy in autumn. Pin oak (Quercus palustris) is one of the fastest-growing oak trees. This tall, symmetrical tree with pyramidal form, displays burnt-colored leaves in autumn. Though the pin oak and red oak varieties offer rich fall color, they are also susceptible to oak wilt. Oak wilt is a fungal disease spread by beetles that affects the trees' vascular systems. Pruning oak trees in February and March, and not in summer, will help prevent this deadly disease from spreading.
In the white ash family (Fraxinus americana) "Autumn Blaze" and "Autumn Purple" are cultivars that were selected for their deep-green leaves that turn reddish-purple in fall.
There are several shrubs that can add dazzling color to your landscape. Burning bush (Euonymus alata) is a large shrub with unsurpassed, bright-red to crimson-colored foliage in autumn. Burning bush is a favorite among gardeners and is highly prized this time of year. Highbush cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) sports small, fiery-red berries in late summer and red foliage in autumn. Popular cultivars include "Alfredo" and "Compactum." Dwarf summer-blooming spirea (Spiraea japonica) is covered with flat clusters of flowers and yellowish-green foliage in summer. It turns from soft pink to reddish-orange in autumn. The cultivar "Goldmound" is a neat, compact shrub that looks nice near buildings and in mass plantings.
Autumn is a great time to explore nurseries in search of striking fall foliage for years to come. Plan your landscape, not only for an array of autumn color, but winter, spring and summer, too. Many of these aforementioned "all stars" will amaze and beautify your yard all year long.

ABC News' Sheila Marikar reports: Sarah Palin is mad and she's not going to take it anymore.
The former Alaska governor and tea party activist was a guest on Sean Hannity's Fox News show Tuesday night to further criticize the debt-ceiling deal and condemn Vice President Joe Biden for allegedly saying that conservative tea party lawmakers "acted like terrorists" during the debt-ceiling negotiations.
"I'm gonna stick up for people who at this point are being called terrorists and being accused of waging jihad against our own country," she said. "Enough is enough and I'm not going to sit here and take it anymore."
She also chastised Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney for not voicing his stance on the debt-ceiling debate sooner.
"Bless his heart, I have respect for Mitt Romney, but I do not have respect for what he has done through this debt increase debate," she said. "He did this, he waited until it was a done deal that we would increase the debt ceiling and more money would be spent, more money would be borrowed and spent on bigger government, and then he came out and made a statement that he didn't like the deal after all. You can't defer an issue and assume that the problem is then going to be avoided."
"You're inviting a crisis," she added. "Don't just wait and sit back."
Did any of the Republican contenders please Palin?
"Michele Bachmann," she said (Bachmann voted against the debt-ceiling increase). "She spoke out and she cast her vote according to her principles, she stood true."
Palin maintained that she's "an optimist heading into this next election cycle," though she still hasn't made up her mind about her role in it. She told Hannity she's "getting closer to making the decision, of course, for legal reasons, for practical reasons, um, but ah, still haven't made up my mind yet."
"But doggone it," she added, "I want these candidates who are in there, I want them to not be sitting back."
As for President Barack Obama, Palin said, "He is so off base in this that I tell you, 2012 cannot come soon enough."

Re "Fairly ticketed" (Forum, July 12), which equates the importance of cyclists following four-way stop protocol with that of automobile drivers.
The clear difference is that a failure to stop by the driver could result in serious damage to others, while the same carelessness by a bicycle rider is likely to endanger only him or herself.

Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care
Mr. D's family was concerned that the long-term care home he was living in was not meeting the standards of care set out by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
The Ministry investigated the family's concerns and advised them it had required the facility to fix things – but it would not give further details.
Family members obtained a copy of the Ministry's report on the case through its Access and Privacy Office, but when they could not convince the Ministry to review their concerns, they asked the Ombudsman's Office to, essentially, investigate the Ministry's investigation.
Through our Office's intervention, the Ministry met with the family and agreed to investigate two new complaints they raised. When it again failed to share its report with them, the family complained again to us.
In the end, the Ministry provided our Office and the family with a copy of its investigation report.
It also advised that it would provide more information in similar circumstances in future.

Crazy Dave's Music
Though the titular owner of Crazy Dave's Music might tell you his music shop began with dragons and goblins, it really began with the even more fantastic 1980s. Years after assuming ownership of a failing Orange Park pawn shop, Dave realized that the most popular items in his inventory were always musical instruments. In keeping with the demand, he banded together with local musicians to turn his space into a fully realized music store. Construction crews renovated new rooms for live sound equipment and effects lighting, filled the old jewelry cases with pedals and microphones, and lined the walls with mixing equipment and synthesizers. Today, Dave's store still houses a menagerie of instruments and accessories. Shelves and corners filled with DJ gear and high-end guitars bear the logos of famous brands such as Fender, Moog, and Yamaha.

Heels On Wheels at MGAC
Eclectic variety road show makes it to the Milwaukee Gay Arts Center this month.
New-York-based performance artists How To Build A Fire have been traveling across the country with a wildly eclectic program featuring multi-media theatre performances, "stardust, magic, sparkle, time-travel," and probably quite a bit more that they aren't mentioning. The group is touring the Midwest with the Heels On Wheels tour—a program featuring, "Liberation magic, anti-capitalist robots, Medusa-themed puppet theatre, riot grrl dance parties, and the story of stardust," (The tour's press info is endlessly quotable.)
Heels On Wheels comes to the Milwaukee Gay Arts Center at 8pm on April 18th. Tickets are $8. For more info, check out the HOW Roadshow website.
The website and other promo materials have been elegantly short on terribly coherent specifics, but a show like this has the ability to overwhelm with the right energy. To get some idea of what the show might be like, check out the exceedingly appealing video below.
