Who said I'm not up for the challenge of integrating more POP designs with their toy counterparts?
Here is what I did some time ago with Castaspella, finally painted properly.
And for those not sarisfied enough, there is also the Vintage doy deco.
I'm sure the cartoon colors are the first we'll see in figure forms, but the vintage toy colors are the kind of repaints we want!
Please also note that like the vintage toy some of the parts can be reused for Entrapta (I will surely recycle my onw drawing when I'll do her! )

A primer in success-building, The Magic Ladder to Success is Hill's compact distillation of his lifetime of learning. It is the volume in which Napoleon Hill first distilled the seventeen factors that make up his "Law of Success" philosophy. These key principles capture the ethics and actions that empower all who harness them to become leaders in the field of their choice. Leaders are not born, Hill argues, they are molded by a remarkably similar, simple, and dynamic set of habits.
Napoleon Hill's lost classic-long out of print, is newly available as a stand-alone edition, revised and updated for the twenty-first century. The Magic Ladder to Success was written in 1930; only one year after the Great Depression brought the nation to its knees. One of its most valuable features is the inspiring story of Napoleon Hill's upbringing in a desperately poor West Virginia mountain town, and how his father's second wife, an educated woman "irritated at poverty," instilled in him the laws of success that would change his life and millions of others.
The Magic Ladder to Success and The Law of Success are the result of over 500 interviews with successful people and, even more important, interviews with many more who failed. It was after a few years of astounding success with these books that Hill was invited to become an advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Napoleon Hill discovered that there were seventeen success factors, or principles, behind the great success subjects of his day. He then further condensed that history-making material, making it more accessible to those willing to wake up and win. These books are the powerful result.
About the Author
Napoleon Hill was born in 1883 in a one-room cabin on the Pound River in Wise County, Virginia. He began his writing career at age 13 as a "mountain reporter" for small town newspapers and went on to become America's most beloved motivational author. He passed away in November 1970 after a long and successful career writing, teaching, and lecturing about the principles of success.
Hill established the Napoleon Hill Foundation as a non-profit educational institution whose mission is to perpetuate his philosophy of leadership, self-motivation, and individual achievement.

BURLINGTON — The Vermont Department of Health will offer free whooping cough (Tdap) vaccine to anyone age 11 or older on Dec. 19 at each of its 12 district offices. This is being done in an effort to slow the spread of whooping cough, and protect infants, who are at greatest risk for serious illness and death.
The vaccine clinics will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Health Department offices in Barre, Bennington, Brattleboro, Burlington, Middlebury, Morrisville, Newport, Rutland, St. Albans, St. Johnsbury, Springfield and White River Junction. No appointment is needed.
The Middlebury office is at 156 South Village Green, Suite 102. The phone number is 802-388-4644.
Pregnant women and adults who have contact with babies are especially urged to get the Tdap — which protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough). Health officials also strongly recommend that expectant mothers get vaccinated later in pregnancy, not only to protect themselves, but also to pass the protection on to their newborns.
Vermont has had 522 cases of whooping cough so far this year, including 23 infants under age of 1. This is about 10 times the number of cases at the same time last year. Six infants have been hospitalized.
"Vermont has not had an infant death from whooping cough in more than 20 years and we all must do everything we can to keep it that way," said Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD. "We are urging everyone over the age of 11 to take advantage of our vaccine clinics."
Whooping cough is a highly infectious bacterial respiratory disease that is easily spread from person to person by coughing, sneezing or even talking with others. It's very often difficult to recognize in its early stages as it usually begins with cold-like symptoms. People who get whooping cough may develop a severe cough or coughing fit, sometimes followed by whooping, gagging or vomiting that can last for weeks.
Because it's difficult to recognize and highly contagious, it's hard to stop the spread once it gets started in a community, especially in the schools. While people who are fully immunized sometimes get whooping cough, it is usually less severe illness and less likely to be spread to other people.
To find information about the disease and the vaccine, go to www.healthvermont.gov or dial 2-1-1.

"Thor: The Dark World" will steal "The Best Man Holiday's" thunder at the box office this weekend.
After debuting with a healthy $85.7 million, the 3-D superhero sequel is expected to collect at least an additional $40 million during its second weekend in theaters, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys. Providing the only other competition is the only new wide release "The Best Man Holiday," a modestly budgeted sequel aimed at African Americans poised to debut with a robust $23 million. (Universal Pictures, which is distributing the film, is predicting an opening of around $17 million.)
The original "Thor" saw its ticket sales tumble 47% in its second week in theaters in 2011. Its predecessor will likely see a similar drop this weekend, its last before facing off against "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." The young adult franchise will dominate ticket sales when it opens late next week, potentially collecting more than $150 million between Thursday evening and Sunday.
PHOTOS: 75 images from 'Thor: The Dark World'
"The Best Man Holiday," about a group of old friends who reunite over Christmas, has earned largely positive reviews. The film is a sequel to 1999's "The Best Man," which grossed $34 million. Both films were directed by Malcom D. Lee and feature many of the same actors, including Taye Diggs, Terrence Howard and Nia Long. The sequel, financed for a $17 million by Universal, is generating the most interest among older females.
There are a number of holiday-themed films featuring black ensemble casts hitting theaters this fall, including "Black Nativity" and "Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas." The most recent comedy marketed to African American moviegoers, the romantic comedy "Baggage Claim," underperformed in September with just $21.4 million in sales.
In limited release, Paramount Pictures is releasing its black-and-white family drama "Nebraska" in two theaters in Los Angeles and another couple in New York. The film, which stars Bruce Dern as an elderly man convinced he has won $1 million in sweepstakes, has become a critical darling since debuting at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Paramount is hopeful that audiences will spread positive word-of-mouth about the $12-million production before it expands to more theaters later this month.

Paying Less to Tackle Climate Change
Advanced technologies could make climate stabilization better, faster, and cheaper
Wind energy is one of the advanced technologies that could significantly reduce the cost of restricting carbon emissions by 2095. Enlarged View
Despite widespread agreement about the importance of technology in addressing climate change, concern and questions remain regarding the costs and timing of large-scale technology deployment. A new set of climate scenarios produced by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reaffirms how a mix of advanced technologies could significantly reduce the costs of stabilizing the global climate over the 21st century. The team studied technologies for improving energy supply and efficiency, including fossil and biomass, carbon dioxide capture and storage, solar, wind, geothermal, hydrogen, nuclear, and hydroelectric, as well as energy reduction technologies.
The results showed that as better technologies continue to be developed and adopted over time, climate stabilization efforts will move faster, cost less, and be more effective. "The more technologies that can successfully be used to address the problem, the lower the overall cost of doing so will be," said Dr. Leon Clarke of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, who led the research. "Reducing greenhouse gas emissions will require a comprehensive approach, including multiple technologies and global cooperation, and there is no silver-bullet technology," he added.
This work improved on past scenario analyses by exploring a more realistic, wide range of possible technological combinations within a consistent framework. The analysis also used more sophisticated representations of energy demands in buildings, industry, and transportation than past PNNL scenario analyses, as well as better representations of renewable energy sources. The model also balanced biofuel demand against the need to retain cropland and expand forests. This richer set of scenarios is valuable for decision makers, who require a comprehensive understanding of how technology could evolve, the uncertainties involved, and the interactions between technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Climate Change Technology Program, which informs federal decision making on climate technology development and policy, is using these scenarios and findings as part of its strategic planning activities.
Why it matters: Greenhouse gas concentrations must be stabilized to slow down climate change. To do so will require fundamental changes in how the world creates and consumes energy and manages the industrial, agricultural, and land-use sectors of the global economy. New and improved technologies could significantly reduce the financial burden of these changes.
Methods: Scientists used PNNL's computer-based MiniCAM model to explore the potential economic benefits of using advanced technologies to stabilize carbon dioxide levels. The model simulates the economic, energy, climate, and terrestrial systems under various climate change policies and mitigation technology options. The resulting scenarios showed cost and technology options for stabilizing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations by 2095. Scenarios are "what-ifs"-or sketches of potential future conditions-for use in decision-making exercises or analysis.
What's next: Modeling and scenario development will continue to help decision makers understand the role of technology in addressing climate change. Important areas of continuing research include U.S. and international policy options, and the interactions between bioenergy, terrestrial carbon emissions, the energy system, and the global agricultural system.
Acknowledgments: PNNL is transforming the nation's ability to predict climate change and its impacts. This research was conducted by PNNL staff primarily from the Joint Global Change Research Institute, a collaboration between PNNL and the University of Maryland. Researchers included Leon Clarke, Marshall Wise, Jae Edmonds, Page Kyle, Kate Calvin, Son Kim, and Steven Smith at the Institute, and Marylynn Placet at Battelle Washington Operations, all of PNNL. This work was funded under the U.S. Climate Change Technology Program, which is led by the U.S. Department of Energy and carried out by 12 federal agencies.

One of the best things about a small school like Oglethorpe is the potential for students to contribute in a big way to the campus, either through student organizations or by working for the school itself. When I returned for my senior year after a year of studying in Japan, I wanted to make sure that I left my mark on the school before graduating and going into the real world; I took every opportunity I could find to be more involved, which initially included taking a more active role in my fraternity, Chi Phi, and joining SGA as a Senior Senator.
In August 2012, I met Mon Baroi in the university's café. We immediately connected based on our interest in technology and web start ups, and through Mon, I learned about Pegasus Creative, Oglethorpe's student communications agency. Mon, who at the time was working for Pegasus on a Test Drive ad campaign for adult students, sold me on what sounded like a great opportunity: the chance to work with a talented group of people whose job was to make this university look good.
As a Pegasus web content developer, I was responsible for helping to maintain Oglethorpe's websites. This included co-planning the design of the new Special Events and Summer sites on WordPress, making timely edits to out-of-date web pages, and editing images and videos to be put on Oglethorpe's websites. Also, I got the opportunity to look at Oglethorpe's Google analytics statistics, which gave me tremendous insight into the kinds of traffic Oglethorpe attracts online on a regular basis.
The most interesting thing about working at Pegasus was integrating what I have learned in my business courses with the work I was doing with online media, which would usually be stereotyped as communications field work. As a senior business administration major, I have pretty much gotten a taste of everything the business division at Oglethorpe has to offer, from management courses that evaluate business strategies, competitive advantages, and internal and external forces, to economics courses that analyze the relationship between supply and demand and satisfying needs in the free market, and marketing courses that look into how producers attempt to read consumers and shape products for a target market that will encourage transactions and customer satisfaction. When I decided to take this internship in my last spring semester, I saw it as a great opportunity to apply what I had learned in these courses to online media.
At Pegasus, I got to work with an awesome and fun group of people that made me look forward to coming into the office for work. My experience with Pegasus was a great way to give back to Oglethorpe, and being involved behind-the-scenes at Pegasus has given me technical and analytical skills that will no doubt prove invaluable in the business world after I graduate.

HUD releases contingency plan for government shutdown
The Department of Housing Development released a contingency plan in case budget negotiations fail and the U.S. government is forced to shut down Friday night. According to the plan, it would take roughly four hours for HUD to close its doors and discontinue unnecessary operations. However, emergency activities would continue. Functions funded under multi-year appropriations would carry on as well. Of the 9,700 HUD employees, 876 would remain. "Additionally, during an appropriations hiatus, HUD anticipates that a modest number of employees would be called in on an intermittent basis to work solely on excepted activities," the federal agency said Friday. Emergency operations at HUD include essential housing and emergency services for the homeless and others who receive assistance under the Office of Community Planning and Development and several others. Funds will continue to be disbursed under the three rounds of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which provides funding to local governments and nonprofits to buy, renovate and resell previously foreclosed homes. As for the Federal Housing Administration, new loans will not be endorsed as analysts expected, and only operations necessary to maintain its existing portfolio will carry on, including maintenance of its inventory of previously foreclosed homes, or REO. There also is more commitments the FHA will continue for its multi-family portfolio. Closing on projects scheduled during the shut down would take place, as well as closings on final endorsements. HUD will contract for construction inspections on a post-review basis when the government re-opens. The role of Ginnie Mae, which ensures the payment of principal and interest on FHA loans pooled into securities, is considered vital to the stability and liquidity of the primary mortgage market. Therefore, Ginnie Mae will continue to run. "An interruption in the operations would create immediate and significant market disruption that would lead to financial losses for investors and increased mortgage rates for government-insured mortgage loans," HUD said in the plan. The Washington Post reported lawmakers came close to a deal at 3 a.m. Friday morning, but talks broke down once again. No deal has been struck as of lunchtime Friday. Write to Jon Prior.

I know I said I had blogger's block, but if there's anyone who can spur me into putting pen to paper [OK, fingers-to-keyboard] ... it's Shakespeare, whose birthday is celebrated today.
So, in honour of wonderful old William I thought I'd dust off this old- but still much loved - project I made when Kirsty Neale and I used to run The Copy + Paste Project:
The tiny head shaped shrine is home to the quote:
It's one of the many quotes from Hamlet which has followed me around ever since I first studied it. The idea that no matter where you are, you can think yourself free.
Similarly the quote at the very top of the page is one of my all time favourites:
An ever-useful reminder of the power of thought and interpretation in any given situation.
I won't even attempt to say anything eloquent now ... there's no way to compete, so let me just say:
Happy Birthday Mr.S. Thanks for all y'know, the words ... and stuff!
Feel free to leave your own favourite Shakespeare quotes, so we can all enjoy them today. :-)

System Shock 2, a sci-fi survival horror PC game released in 1999, has been widely acclaimed as one of the greatest games of all time. However, installing the video game to a Windows XP-powered PC can be scarier than parrying the mad swings of a cyborg-zombie. These are some of the horrors it throws at you:
- A black screen whenever you press ESC to save your progress
- A frozen title screen (mouse not moving on the main menu)
- System Shock 2 moving too fast
- Stuttering
- The Shoot - Use Modes Bug --- your character looks up at the start of each game (unresponsive mouse)
The guide after the jump.
Note: It's plain impossible to guarantee that one PC procedure that worked for one will always work for others without hitches. DO THE PROCEDURE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I WILL NOT GIVE TECH SUPPORT NOR WILL CLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING ADVERSE WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR COMPUTER.
Here's the procedure on how to install System Shock 2 to a Windows XP-powered gaming PC (this guide has been made under the assumption that you have uninstalled System Shock 2 and have already cleaned all traces of the game from your registry):
1. Copy-paste the "Shock" folder in your System Shock 2 CD into a directory of your choice. (No need to install the survival horror game from the CD).
Stop here and you will, in all probability, still experience: the black screen bug in which every time you press ESC, you will be greeted with a black screen, making the game unplayable if you aren't fond of the PC game's quick save feature (alt + s).
2. Install the SS2Tool, which provides (among other fixes) the DDFix tool, another godsend of all SShock 2 fans. If you follow the instructions in the link provided, it should eliminate nearly all the bugs mentioned in the list above. However:
Stop here and you will, in all probability, still experience: a frozen title screen where your mouse will be unresponsive, making the PC game's main menu just an attractive wallpaper.
3. Locate ddfix.ini and CTRL+F for the line "MenuUpdateDelay=" (without the quotes). Change the value (the default is 14) to 25. The System Shock 2 "Title Screen Freezes" bug should be fixed. (Kudos to Kolya and Wef, who provided the fix.)
Stop here and you will, in all probability, still experience: 1.) The "Shoot and Use Modes" bug that renders the game unplayable; your character will still shoot his weapon even if you are in the PC game's Use Mode. 2.) Your character looking up at the start of each game, then freezing. You can walk around but your mouse will be unresponsive, making the survival horror video game unplayable.
4. Install the SS2 Modmanager, a freeware utility that lets you launch the sci-fi game's mods from a single UI. However, the utility comes with a nifty feature: under its "Tools" menu, you will find the fix for the System Shock 2 shoot-use modes glitch:
This eliminates the System Shock 2's "looking up" bug. However, this can be solved easily by ESCaping to the PC game's main menu and then going back to the game by pressing "Continue."
Hope this solves your problems. Have fun and good luck.

Increasing number of students opting for charter schools
A growing number of Western Pennsylvania students attending taxpayer-funded charter schools is changing public education, as parents take advantage of school choice.
"We're competing with the cyber schools, and we think we can do it better," Joseph Clapper said, superintendent at Quaker Valley School District, which draws students from the Sewickley valley. "These are interesting times. It is important for Quaker Valley and, I believe, all public schools, to be open-minded about the way we deliver curriculum to our 21st-century students."
The number of students choosing a charter school in 23 western Pennsylvania districts has increased from 1,500 in 2008-09 to 2,300 this year — or by 52 percent, according to a survey in October. Trib Total Media conducted the survey to determine how many students are choosing charter schools, and why.
Since the Legislature approved charter schools in 1997 to give parents an alternative to their home districts, enrollment has increased in these publicly funded but privately operated schools regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Some schools offer a specific focus, such as on the arts, or on business. The schools receive a payment for each student from the district where the child lives, also known as "tuition."
Nationwide, about 40 states have rules permitting charter schools. There are 175 charter schools in Pennsylvania; 16 of those schools offer online-only classes.
But the schools have been a lightning rod for criticism, as some districts lose millions of dollars per year with the number of students going to charters. Critics also say that the schools are academically untested and do not have to follow the same regulations as traditional public schools.
"Not all charter schools are successes," said Butch Santicola, spokesman for the Pennsylvania State Education Association, the largest teachers union in the state. "Some are doing a good job. But what has happened is that (public schools) have sat back and been in defensive mode."
Santicola pointed to how many charter schools struggle to meet state testing standards and how some cyber charter schools have graduation rates as low as 32 percent; to meet state standards, 85 percent of students must graduate. In 2011-12, 112 of the 156 charter schools statewide that took standardized tests met state standards.
As parents continue to exercise school choice, public schools are changing how they educate students.
"Charter schools are a game changer, no doubt," said Joseph Domaracki, interim associate dean for the college of education and educational technology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. "Everybody that's leaving a public school and going to a charter is doing it for a particular reason.
"There could be as many reasons as there are kids leaving."
Charter schools have made public school officials rethink how they present education, Clapper said. His district, which educates students from the Sewickley area, responded by opening its own cyber program in 2010, QV Academy.
This year, Quaker Valley has more students enrolled in its QV e-learning program than it does in charter schools. The program was spurred by a demand for more varied learning opportunities. Some of the 75 students enrolled in the program attend classes exclusively online, while others take a mix of classes at the district and online.
Similar programs are in place in Norwin, North Hills, Gateway and North Allegheny, while Franklin Regional and other districts offer a limited number of classes online.
Domaracki attributed the move to a way for districts to recoup some of the students – and money – they've lost because of the competition.
"That's what they're being forced to do," Domaracki said. "Public schools have to do more to maintain their populations. It's a reality."
Even though classes are offered online, most charter schools operate in buildings – and at times, such as is the case with Propel Pitcairn, in a building that once educated students for the same district with which it now competes.
Propel operates nine schools in Allegheny County that educate children in kindergarten through grade 12.
Superintendent Carol Wooten said the schools, the first of which opened 10 years ago, have strong academics, but that isn't what always draws parents.
"Our parents tell us they come to Propel because it's very safe and nurturing – they don't immediately start talking about academics," Wooten said. "We opened to provide a choice of high-performing schools for parents who otherwise wouldn't have a choice."
Ivelisse Torres of Penn Hills wanted choice when her daughter Chloe entered kindergarten last year. Torres initially wanted to send her daughter to a Christian school, but the move would be cost-prohibitive. She didn't want to send her to Penn Hills, where her daughter would be in a school with 700 other children.
She began hearing about a new charter school, Imagine Penn Hills Charter School of Entrepreneurship. The school offered similar things to Propel but had a twist in the curriculum. Children learn early on about how money and business work through a "microsociety" where children perform different jobs, such as working with animals or creating puppet shows.
"This was something I was not going to experience at (Penn Hills)," Torres said. "Our first year, she did phenomenal. I feel like a charter school gives us public education with a private school feel."
In some districts, the number of students attending a charter school actually has dropped during the past five years.
At Franklin Regional in Murrysville, about 17 percent fewer students are attending a charter school than five years ago. Superintendent Emery D'Arcangelo attributes that to the programs that his and many other high-achieving districts offer.
That's what officials at Gateway hope will happen. This year, about 100 more students left the district for charter schools, but another 100 who had intended to enroll elsewhere came back after the district began offering full-day kindergarten, school board member Skip Drumheller said.
Part of the increase in students leaving this year is because a new charter school, Propel Pitcairn, opened in the former Pitcairn Elementary. The school board closed the school last year to save money, and several months later Propel acquired the property and opened a charter school there. Students first began attending classes there in August.
"The biggest investment we can make is in our kids," Drumheller said.
"We cannot afford to throw away another generation of kids to poor education and poor job outlooks."
Drumheller said children will learn more about the world by attending larger, more diverse schools.
The Gateway School District has about 3,600 students. He said officials will continue to fight for every local student to graduate with a Gateway diploma.
"You can't continue to do what you've done in the past in these changing circumstances. You can't keep trying to do the same things and get the same outcome," Drumheller said.

NAPW Writing Contest Winners Selected
After much deliberation by our esteemed panel of expert judges, the winners of NAPW's first law student writing contest have been selected. Co-sponsored by 19 organizations and individuals, this contest was designed to advance feminist legal scholarship on the subject of pregnant women's civil and human rights. Specifically, it asked law students to address the statutory, constitutional, and/or human rights arguments that can be made to challenge the trend of banning pregnant women from having a vaginal birth after a caesarean section (VBAC). The subject of the contest is particularly timely. Recently, the story of Joy Szabo, an Arizona mother forced to travel over 300 miles from home in an effort to avoid unnecessary surgery, has been the subject of both local and national media attention. Even CNN covered the story —raising unprecedented awareness of the fact that VBAC is unattainable at nearly half of all U.S. hospitals due to either explicit policies or lack of willing providers.
NAPW and co-sponsors hoped this contest would encourage a new generation of legal scholars to address birthing issues as proper subjects of academic research and legal action. We are proud to announce the winners of this cutting-edge contest:
First Prize: Krista Stone-Manista, Northwestern University Law School, "In the Manner Prescribed By the State": Potential Challenges to State-Enforced Hospital Limitations on Childbirth Options (Under consideration for publication through special arrangement with the Cardozo Journal of Law and Gender)
Second Prize: Elizabeth Kukura, New York University School of Law, Choice in Birth: Preserving Access to VBAC (Pending publication, Penn State Law Review Winter 2009 Issue.)
Third Prize: Paul Christopher Torio, Santa Clara University School of Law Nature Versus Suture: Why VBAC Should Still Be in Vogue
Honorable Mention: L. Indra Lusero, University of Denver, Sturm College of Law Challenging Hospital VBAC Bans Through Tort Liability: Reasonableness and the Limits of Informed Consent
We were very pleased by the quality of the responses that we received, particularly considering that this is likely to be the first time that many law students have considered birthing issues as civil and human rights issues.
We have the rare pleasure of knowing that the Contest is already having the desired influence on feminist jurisprudence and advocacy in the field. In addition to the publication of at least two of the papers, UDC Clarke School of Law student Lisa Pratt recently presented a paper inspired by the contest at Perinatal, symposium on birth practices and reproductive rights. Her paper, which proposes civil rights legislation protecting pregnant women's informed consent and decision-making in childbirth, was an inspiring call to action for the birth activists and legal experts assembled.
Because we believe that the issue of women's rights during labor is critical to the study of gender and the law, we are sponsoring another contest this year on birthing rights. This will continue our outreach to law students and our efforts to encourage emerging legal scholars to push for the inclusion of birthing issues in the discussion of feminist jurisprudence.
Congratulations to the contest winners, and good luck to the 2009-2010 contestants!


text: Don't be deceived -- the study of art history involves more than memorizing artists and dates. Art history majors develop visual literacy through exploring visual culture in historical, social, political, and religious contexts. The study of art history familiarizes students with works of art from their origins through present day. The curriculum typically consists of a mix of courses focused on geographic areas, chronological periods, social movements, cultures, themes, and styles. Courses also explore the criticism, preservation, and conservation of art. The art history major provides a versatile skill set in visual analysis, writing, research, oral communication, and critical thinking, preparing grads to work in art-related fields and beyond. Opportunities include work in museums, galleries, auction houses, conservation, arts management, publishing, communications, advertising, and academia. Careers as museum curators, journalists, or art dealers are just few of the many possibilities. Some art history graduates even choose to pursue advanced degrees in law or business.

Mum's Powerful Open Letter To Those That Judged Her Daughter
One thing that people tend to forget is that we shouldn't judge people based on their appearance.
Just because something or someone might look a bit odd to us, it doesn't mean that there isn't a good reason behind it.
Our latest, heart-breaking example of this involves a 5-year-old girl with joint hypermobility - a condition that makes standing for long periods of time incredibly painful.
To help alleviate some of the pain, the 5-year-old uses a stroller on a regular basis.
Because her condition isn't immediately visible, grown adults have repeatedly taken the opportunity to make rude comments and scoff at the 'spoiled' girl.
Mother, Rachel Bitmead, has hit back with a powerful open letter aimed at those who have made the mistake of judging both her parenting skills and her gorgeous girl.
The letter reads:
Rachel makes a powerful point about judging before you the know the facts.
Have you ever been in a situation like this?

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Male Co-Worker Sexually Harassed and Abused Male Employees with Management's Knowledge and Approval
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Pitre, Inc., a car dealership in Albuquerque, N.M., violated federal law by subjecting a group of men to disturbing forms of sexual harassment for over ten years and retaliating against male employees, who complained to management, announced the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity in its lawsuit filed on September 29, 2011.
In its suit, the EEOC said that a male co-worker habitually subjected Richard Yob, and a class of other men to sexual harassment. The men were touched, grabbed and bitten on their buttocks, penis and other parts of their bodies and were subjected to offensive sexual comments and frequent solicitations to perform sexual acts with the male co-worker, which created a hostile work environment for them. EEOC contends Pitre also retaliated against Richard Yob and other male employees who complained about the harassment. The EEOC also alleged that some men who could not tolerate the sexual harassment and/or the retaliatory actions of management were forced to quit their jobs. The suit further accuses the general manager and other supervisors of participating in the harassment by encouraging the male co-worker to sexually harass other male employees.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on sex, including male-on-male sexual harassment. When an employer disciplines, terminates or takes other punitive measures against an employee because the employee complains about workplace discrimination, the employer further violates Title VII's anti-retaliation provision. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico (EEOC v. Pitre Inc., Civil Action No.1:11-00875 LAM-KBM) after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through the EEOC's conciliation process.
"All employees, both men and women alike, have a right to work in an environment free of sexual touching and sexual harassment," said Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office, which has jurisdiction over Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Utah. "It is particularly alarming when harassment of this nature continues for such an extended period of time with the owner and managements' knowledge. The EEOC will prosecute such cases vigorously."
The lawsuit requests the court to order Pitre Inc. to provide all the affected men with appropriate relief, including back wages for those forced to resign or terminated from their employment; compensatory and punitive damages; and a permanent injunction enjoining the company from engaging in any further gender-discriminatory practice. The EEOC also asks the court to order the company to institute and carry out policies and practices that eradicate and prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
EEOC Deputy District Director Elizabeth Cadle added, "The investigation revealed that the co-worker's egregious sexual harassment persisted daily, despite repeated complaints to management, for over ten years and greatly impacting a lot of male employees at Pitre."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Gingham Bustier + Skirt
Added Jun 6, 2011
By burdastyle
New York, New Yo...
We're channeling the 50s in this vintage-inspired ensemble, made up of a bustier and high-waist skirt with deep, wide pockets. This retro look is made from sage green + white 1-way stretch gingham. It's fun (and a bit daring) to pair these two patterns together with a vintage jacket.
Worn alone, the bustier could make up the top half of a bikini, and the skirt looks great alternatively hemmed at knee length and worn with a blouse.
Material Notes
Bustier: Check fabric with width-wise stretch, 145 cm (57 in) wide: 0.60 m (3/4 yd) for all sizes. Batiste with width-wise stretch, 140 cm (55 in) wide, for lining: 0.15. m (1/4 yd). Vilene/Pellon G 700. Hook-and-eye fastening band: 0.10 m (1/8 yd).
Skirt: Check fabric with width-wise stretch, 145 cm (57 in) wide: 2.80 – 2.90 – 2.90 – 3.00 – 3.00 m (3 1/8 – 3 1/4 – 3 1/4 – 3 3/8 – 3 3/8 yds). Elastic waistband, 3 cm (11/4 ins) ¬wide: 0.70 – 0.75 – 0.80 – 0.85 – 0.90 m (7/8 – 7/8 – 7/8 – 1 – 1 yd). Vilene Bias Tap

Hey. I just attempted a practice go of the bustier pattern and found the instructions extremely unhelpful. I have tried other Burdastyle patterns before and they all seem to simplify the instructions too much. When I traced the pattern pieces twice to make the two bust pieces, one was back the front. And how do you sew the vertical seam AFTER you sew the curved seam at the base of the bust ??? Please help

I ran into the same difficulties while attempting this pattern the other day. Did you ever figure anything out to make the pattern work? I've been looking to make a bustier for a while and I really want this to come out well.
Feb 23, 2012, 01.10 PMby crillysmalls5
I have just made up a toile of the bustier and it's a terrible shape! It is unflattering and points downwards. I have had to draft a completely new bust from one of my books so I may as well of drafted a pattern from scratch and saved my money!

Hey. I contacted BurdaStyle about the pattern instructions so they have updated them and added pictures. Go to the bustier pattern page and there is a pdf of the new instructions at the bottom. Hope this helps.

Just printed out the instructions and there's stuff missing I think. There are only three pattern pieces identified as what they are, for the rest the numbers are missing in the description and I can't really figure out where they go….might be my computer, has anyone else had the same problem?

I was really in love when I saw this, but thought that the breast shape looked weird, but figured that I may fill it out differently. Well, I tried it, and, yes, my boobs looks really strange in it; they sort of point down at the nipple and I'm busting out the top. Okay from the front, side view is embarrassing. I think I made it a size too small… Will proper sizing fix the shape issue or can I get some pointers on how to make it more round for a fuller breast (C cup)?

love this! i need to make a bustier like that:)
Jun 11, 2011, 09.35 PMby lila-1
This feels SO 1940s beachwear to me :) the skirt, hmm, not so much. The bustier is another matter :) I would never wear the bustier as a top, but I would love to use it to try making my own swimwear and underwear! It'd also make an excellent bust part of a bodice, it isn't hard to add a waist piece to this
Jun 9, 2011, 03.12 PMby amyjoanne
I love it! Love the skirt but would also pair the bustier with some high-waisted paper bag trousers – can't wait to make it!

I love the look of the skirt pattern, but I do not like the way it has been sewn up – I think a big print, maybe a button on each of the pockets and raising the hemline and it would be something I could wear. I am not a bustier wearer – too much skin for me!!
Jun 7, 2011, 06.35 AMby angelagerson2

It's pretty awesome! I like the different darts on the bust.
Jun 6, 2011, 10.25 PMby Dani Restercher
One thing ive noticed is that this sort of outfit if you have a slightly larger belly than youd like actually disguises it for a few reasons.
1. gravity – the largest part of the belly is at the bottom, so if the skirt flares out and isn't tight therefore causing a dent, it disguises the larger bit while making the top look flat
2. boobies – the top enhances them :D
3. People automatically think that someone confident enough to rock that look must have the body to pull it off so they don't bother to check – not that if they did they'd find anything because of pointa 1 and 2.
4. LOVE your body and don't dress based on whether you're 'allowed' to (I'm not allowed to wear a crop top my so and so is too so and so) if you love it then your confidence will show. However if you want to disguise bits like me with my belly then I recon this is the way to go for a summer look :)
I have a larger waist because of a slightly disproportionate tummy and the high waisted skirt and crop top showing off the middle is amazing for me!

Jun 6, 2011, 07.15 PMby BlancheOfArts
Well, I definitely want to have a go with this pattern, yes I think it´s daring but when the temperatures hit 42 Celsius this summer on Croatia´s coast, I think I won´t have a problem with wearing this outfit. Still, I am a bit sceptic about these pockets, will it suit me or not, oh well, that is the question. Guess I´ll find out, he! :)

And look at your profile picture— you could totally rock this look! The bustier looks really cute with other high-waist pieces like trousers, circle skirts or shorts ;)

I love it, but for me it's just a little bit 'too obviously vintage'. I'm very into bustier idea in general – I think it's one of the most versatile garments. If you don't want to show too much body you can put a sheer blouse on it or wear it as an accessory – on the top of sleeveless top or dress. I think people are too hasty with considering bustier as a lingerie and classifying it under the 'inapropriate' label. But of course I understand a voice for covering the body more, everybody's different. I'd love to make one for myself! :)

I kinda love the fabric and the general idea, but am not in love with the skirt. It just looks… big.

I have personally used Swagbucks for years now. I can vouch that they are legit and worth taking a look at. This is how I pay for a good part of my kids Christmas EVERY year for the past 5 years. I exchange Swagbucks for Amazon Gift Cards in the Swagstore.
I usually have $600 in gift cards by December when I start NOW and do a few Swag searches each day. This helps me earn "Swagbucks" which earns me gift cards. * Even searching "MyLitter" usually gets me a few bucks! 🙂
Swagbucks is the easiest way to earn gift cards on the web, hands down! Last year I paid for most of our Christmas with Amazon gift cards form Swagbucks! You use Swagbucks as a search engine, use it first then try google. You earn bucks for searches that you do, if I don't find it first on Swagbucks, then I use Google. Joining Swagbucks has been one of the BEST things I have done to stretch my budget!
Swagbucks just released the Armed Forces Appreciation Collector's Bills! They're live now until Sunday, June 1st at 11:59pm PT, so you have until then to collect all 5 Bills. Each Collector's Bill celebrates the armed forces of different Swagbucks countries, and if you collect all 5, you'll automatically receive a 15 SB bonus!
So how do you collect them? It's easy, just use Swagbucks Search as your normal search engine, and you'll randomly win different Collector's Bills – plus Swag Bucks each time you get a Bill! Why not get a little extra towards a free gift card for just searching online? If you haven't gotten free gift cards from Swagbucks yet, sign up here to get started and collect all the Armed forces Appreciation Collector's Bills!

UK police have arrested three men accused of being involved in large-scale Trojan phishing attacks against a range of banks.
Picked up in a London hotel after an operation described as "intelligence-led", the two unnamed Romanians and a Nigerian were arrested on 29 October on suspicion of money laundering and conspiracy to defraud, police said.
The men are alleged to be behind the appearance of 2,000 bogus bank login pages that had been part of a campaign to steal account details.
The police press release didn't go into much detail beyond confirming that the attacks had hit a sizable number of bank users, leading to the theft of money.
Computers were seized while further searches are being carried out in London and the Midlands.
The operation was the first carried out jointly by the Police eCrime Unit (PCeU) and the Serious Organised Crime Unit Cyber wing as the two move towards their merger as the National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) on 1 October 2013.
"The dynamic nature and successful outcome of this operation, which has prevented distress and financial loss to numerous UK victims, clearly demonstrates the benefit of brigading resources and expertise in this increasing and specialist area of criminality," said PCeU head, Detective Superintendent Charlie McMurdie.
The PcEU has had a relatively busy few years. Earlier in the year, it arrested 14 individuals accused of being behind a phishing attack that cost one British woman her entire £1 million life savings.

Considering there's 12 spots and only 11 people interested, Thorns, it might be slightly difficult to put you on the waiting list. But if two people show up wanting to join, I guess you can be on the waiting list. Until then, I wouldn't worry about it.
Alright, after much deliberation I've decided to increase the player limit. Instead of 7 players, I'm taking in 12.This means Re Z L, Darkling, Chajesdad and AndyZ can start making characters if they're still interested. If Shadowfox would like to join as well, he's welcome to.

In the past year, we have witnessed cyber attacks of unprecedented sophistication and reach. These attacks demonstrate that malicious actors have the ability to compromise and control millions of computers that belong to governments, private enterprises and ordinary citizens. If we are going to prevent motivated adversaries from attacking our systems, stealing our data and harming our critical infrastructure, the broader community of security researchers — including academia, the private sector and government — must work together to understand emerging threats and to develop proactive security solutions to safeguard the Internet and physical infrastructure that relies on it.

DiS is pleased to present, here, an exclusive excerpt from the debut novel of one of our favourite songwriters, Adam Gnade (MySpace).
Gnade's 'talking songs' first came to our attention when he released his Run, Hide, Retreat, Surrender album in 2005; a DiScover interview later we were smitten enough to release his Shout The Rafters Down! EP in 2006 (download). Since then he has collaborated with another of DiS's favourite acts, Youthmovies, and is set to tour with the Oxford quintet again later this year – details here as and when they're confirmed.
Gnade's debut novel is called Hymn California, and is available now via DutchMoney Books. You can order it online here. What's it about? Best know that before we get into things. Press release:
"Gnade is currently writing the prequel novel to Hymn California along with the full-length album Trailerparks. His experimental-Americana/noise-folk songs combine dense, spoken, idea/imagery-packed vocals with layers of banjo, minimalist drums, bells, and nontraditional/modified guitars. Gnade enjoys anarchist texts and books of folk remedies, MadDog 20/20, swimming in rivers, playing shows on staircases, pomegranate tea, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Saul Bellow's The Adventures of Augie March. His next (music) tour will be in Europe this November."

This is a confession. This is an admittance of ignorance, and who wants to cop to that? I will give you no answers — because I have none — but I'm going to talk. At you. To you. About you. And by talking about you and about me, maybe some of this goofball world-dream nightmare nonsense will make sense. Or maybe it won't. It's a slippery thing to guess at — no hard and fast rules, nothing but questions and incalculables, big and daunting like great thunderheads moving like boxcars to rain down on us.
Three weeks ago, on a western line out of Norfolk, I stepped off the Greyhound on 6th and walked Portland's empty streets towards the house where I'd be staying — the big empty creaking Portland house where I am now, alone in the basement at 5 am.
But it was 5 am then too. It's always 5 am. The eternal juju hour. 5 am, off the bus with its hissing brakes and sleeping, cramped riders, and me raw-boned and hungry into the street, the city still purple twilit and chilly.
I walked clear across town, then rode a MAX train east with homeless men in Trailblazers caps talking to themselves and dotcommers with phone buds in their ears talking to themselves, and teenage girls with iPods and book bags and fat white faces or sleeping babies, pink and frowning through baby dreams, in their mothers' arms or awake and sucking a bare, perfect, life-giving nipple from a bare, perfect chubby breast. And there were lifeless men in suits and sunglasses, pretty Chinese girls, wide-eyed kids with mohawks and smudgy chimney sweep faces, holding their bikes in the middle of the train, as we lurched to a stop at the Lloyd Center Mall.
The MAX train gave me to the bus which let me out onto the street again and 10 minutes later my life as a Portlander began. Portland, Oregon. ("Portland, Oregon and sloe gin fizz. If that ain't love, then tell me what is," goes the song.) Portland in the fall. Autumnal Portland with maple trees dropping yellow and orange leaves onto wet, black pavement, smoke trailing from brick chimneys in Alberta, lines of coke on smiling drivers' license photos in bathrooms at shows, kids passing brown glass pipes at parties while bands play in basements and sing songs about you and me and us and them ... and us versus them ... and us not needing them and them not understanding us.
Portland in October — which is excess!
Dale O'Malley and I go visit his friend Allen at Allen's big, gabled, Tudor-style three-story in northeast Portland. Bearded and impassive, Allen talks in a Californian accent which sounds more Wisconsin. He apologizes after packing his 10th bowl of the night. "Gawd, you guys, I'm so sorry. What kinda example am I setting? Oh, gawd. I come from the '60s. All I know is excess."
Excess ... excessive, loud, shaking, jumping, good Portland, where days haze into each other and nobody gets anything done. Even the waitress at the Mexican food joint on Morrison Street is high while she takes our order and asks me, "Hablan usted Espanol?"
"Si, si ... por su puesto," I think, but really just shrug. "Claro que si. Porque no, mija. Naci en una ciudad a la frontera. Trajeme comida! Me gustaria TODA. Quiero comer el mundo y el cielo yr el mar y toda toda toda!"
Toda! Everything! Excess! Excess after months in lazy, swooning, summertime Virginia, where — once again — I fell back into my own damn head, where haunt old ghosts with names like Self-Doubt and Puritanical Ideals and Anxiety and Atheism and Sexual Repression fueled by Fear and Second-Guessing.
I have spent too long wallowing in darkness, thinking the only way to be taken seriously as a man is to act serious — which in my confused mind meant 'sad'. Sad … and living in anxiety because I couldn't imagine life without it. But who needs it? Why not be happy? If the brain is nothing but coils and wires, why not run a diagnostic? I don't have time to hide out in my skull anymore, no time for shivering and cowering behind walls and dropping deeper into this bummer I was hardwired for before I was even born. Unplug from the power grid. No more. Be a man! Go thou forth and be plentiful under the stars! Go yell and be alive. Celebrate celebration. Move fast because the slower you walk, the faster you die. Eat well no matter how poor you are, because what is money anyway but a trap you can outsmart? Drink well from the well. If you're going to drink do so exuberantly. Talk on phones like it's the last time you're going to talk to that person. Laugh like your woman laughs because hers is a laugh of the Earth, big and bold and messy. An unafraid laugh.
Frances, I'm writing this to you because you understand that the most life-affirming thing you can do is ignore life's rules. That's the key. See and say whatever you want to see and say. Spend time with the people who challenge you to be brave. Forget the concept of morality — and don't ever moralize. Drink 'til your mind goes genius. Stay awake for days on end and see clarity at the other side. Debase yourself. Run into the ground, but do so honestly. Breathe deep and look straight on at everyone — stare into them, your eyes burning like dry ice chips. And if so and so or whoever or what the fuck's his face stands in your way and gives you What For and you don't like it, bring him down hard until his head is goddamn hamburger! Embrace violence because all life is violent. We are born blind and skinless red and aching into violence, and our death will be violent just the same. Don't hide your animal side just because you're smart enough to know it's animalistic. Be an animal if you're going to be at all, and shout with animal joy and animal pain.
Tomorrow's Saturday and I'm going downtown. I want to walk below the skyscrapers and bank buildings and towers which stretch like massive tongue depressors and toilet paper tubes and giant harmonicas over the city. I want to walk through the street market below the Burnside Bridge, where hippie girls with round bellies and healthy skin and babies in woven cloth side-sacks try to sell me crank. The street market — the Saturday/Sunday market — is vulgar. I want to burn it down just as much as I want it to go on forever. It's all potent smells: food cooking in kiosks and booths, jerk sauce beef on skewer sticks with barbecued charred bell peppers. Giant Texas donuts or churros which smell like sugar cane and hot grease. Fat, pink, maggot-like shrimp on shishkabobs. Or teriyaki chicken on white Styrofoam plates with rice and macaroni salad. This is not for me. Give me falafel and hummus, wine, Greek fries, Greek salad, give me the food of the Greeks, three bucks with yellow saffron rice and a drink.
Smell the rotting cabbage rising in gaseous steam from trash cans. Or the stink of piss on sidewalks. Cigar smoke. Nag champa incense. The smell of sweat — pungent, bitter and foul or heavy and rich and packed with pheromones and sex and musk, humanness.
Overhead the skies will be gray because they are always gray, and I'll walk the crowded walkways where men my age with gaunt faces under beards and knit caps and girls in brown tank tops with no bras and dark tufts of armpit hair sell crystal wizards on pewter chains, rainbow hacky sacks, tiny blue and red and black and green tie dye shirts sized for babies and dogs or … rain-sticks, lighters, djembe drums — and everyone walks around with beers in plastic cups laughing and eating hot peanuts from white paper bags with the words "Hot! Salty!" printed in red letters.
I move with the crowd and end up under the Burnside Bridge where a group of shadow-faced, glaze-eyed drummers kneel over bongos and buckets in the half-dark of the ramp and beat out a jungle rhythm and girls with long hair dance barefoot, grinding their hips into invisible stone statue cocks of pagan gods 'til their thighs drip wet — they're getting god visions off acid tabs — and somebody plays a tuneless acoustic guitar. Stunnng, stumm, strimm, strang it goes. There's a song there, but it's hidden.
The street market, I leave it and want to take a shower. Then I want to go back again.
Portland in the fall. The hot neon apricot sunset to the west. I'll write you a postcard about it, explaining the weather when I should be telling you that I miss you, that I need you, that I need to smell your skin and rest my forehead against yours and listen to your laugh and touch your hair, smile at your dresses draped on dressers and your tiny girl shoes tossed haphazard in the middle of the living room floor. Last year in San Diego — at New Year's while I uncorked a bottle of wine — I told you, your sister Rebecca, and your cousin Bethany that I was going to die sometime this year. Had a premonition. A flash of future time. And that scared me because I hadn't yet decided what lies in the darkness, what face will meet mine — if any — when I step into the Void. But today, walking down Hawthorne Street I realized, and suddenly, that I'm not afraid to die. I'm afraid of being forgotten. And that that's how everyone is. Dying is easy; the idea that we'll one day be forgotten by everyone on Earth and never thought of again is the hard part. And with that, the last knot of fear disappeared from me like a vapor into space. I have no answers. I have no plan. But goddamnit I'm going to talk. I am going to TALK!

Evaluating a corn crop is kind of like finding a mate: What you see at first glance is interesting, but it doesn't tell you much. If you don't learn more, you might make a serious mistake. Whether it is corn or people, what matters most is what lies beneath the surface.
That's why the most important tools that Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie and Associate Field Agronomist Missy Bauer use in the corn field are backhoes, shovels, soil probes, hatchets and knives. "You've got to look belowground," Ferrie says.
What you're looking for. "If you don't know what's going on with your corn crop's roots, you are likely to blame problems incorrectly on products such as seed, fertilizer or herbicides," Bauer says. She and Ferrie dished the real dirt about evaluating roots, soil condition and the effects of tillage at last summer's Farm Journal Corn College.
"When we look beneath the surface, we're trying to identify soil density changes," Bauer explains. "You can think of density as the amount of air space between soil particles—the less air space, the more dense the soil is.
"It's like a 5-gal. bucket full of golf balls compared to a 5-gal. bucket full of peas. There's far more air space among golf balls than among peas," she says. "With corn, we are concerned with what happens to roots when they encounter abrupt changes in soil density. Roots grow horizontally along dense layers, rather than downward at a 30° to 40° angle.
"If roots grow along a horizontal layer, they may not penetrate to depths where they can reach water and nutrients," Bauer adds. "Things always look a lot better on top if there is uniform soil density down below."
Dense layers also keep water from infiltrating. "In the spring, density layers can hold water up, causing the soil to stay saturated for a longer period of time or to pond on the surface," she says.
"If it stays wet too long, you may sacrifice yield by planting late or in less than ideal conditions. Saturated soils also can lead to seedling diseases and denitrification."
Roots can tell you how your crop is faring—but it takes the tools we mentioned to give them a voice.
In this soil pit, the blue marker on the left identifies a shallow tillage layer put in by a soil finisher. The density change can also be seen to the right of the middle corn plant, where loose soil created by the soil finisher has been swept away. The blue marker on the right marks a tillage layer, or density change, where a moldboard plow went through. No residue has been buried beneath this layer, but a buried cornstalk is visible above and to the right of the marker.
Start with a soil pit. "If you have never dug a soil pit, I strongly recommend you do it," Bauer says.
"A soil pit adds to your understanding because you can see everything that's going on," Ferrie says. "Of course, you can't dig a pit in every field. But digging one or two pits will give you knowledge that will help you interpret what you discover with your spade and tile probe."
In the pit, Bauer performs a three-step inspection: feeling the condition of the soil with the aid of a knife; evaluating root growth; and looking for moisture layers.
"Work the soil with a knife, from the top down," Bauer says. "You will soon learn to feel changes in soil density, where it's looser or tighter. Where there is a change in density, measure the depth from the surface. See if the change in density, or the new layer, is turning the plants' roots."
Density changes are typically created by horizontal tillage tools, such as a disk, field cultivator or moldboard plow. In some soil pits, you may find more than one layer.
For example, a moldboard plow will put in one density layer. Then, when a field cultivator or soil finisher runs in the spring, it will put in another. After planting, corn roots will penetrate the loose, fluffy, field-cultivated soil, then turn horizontally when they reach the denser soil underneath.
The first, second and third sets of crown roots are very important for yield because they take up a lot of water and nutrients. If those roots are being turned by dense soil layers, yield potential can be reduced.
At this point, look at root growth. See if the crown roots are reaching down to the subsoil.
Dense layers can also affect moisture movement. "You may see moisture deep in the soil, even though the top few inches are dry, because roots could not penetrate the dense layer and pull the water up," Bauer explains. "Your goal is to have uniform soil moisture in the profile, from top to bottom."
Dig roots. After you study your soil pit, take a spade, dig up some plants at various areas in the field and study the roots.
"Select rows in which there are no wheel tracks," Bauer says. "When you dig up a plant, keep your spade outside the area where the planter gauge wheels ran—4" or 5". Dig about 10" deep, so you get through all the soil layers that are present.
"As you dig out the root ball, watch for soil to break off naturally where there is a change in density," she says.
"Use your hatchet to chop off the top of the plant. Shake off loose soil from the roots. You may see roots are growing sideways instead of downward." With your hatchet, cut off the first round of brace roots. Tap the root ball a bit to loosen more soil, then chop off the second set of brace roots. Be careful not to chop off the crown roots. Clean off the rest of the soil.
Observe the roots. "Are any roots turned horizontally? If so, at what depth? That tells you the depth of the dense layer," Bauer says.
"If roots are turned, check whether it is the first, second or third set of crown roots. Those roots are very important for yield because they take up a lot of water and nutrients. If a lot of them are turning, it's affecting the yield potential of those plants."
To identify the crown roots, find the old seed. "The old seed is attached to the mesocotyl," Bauer says. "Follow the mesocotyl up to the base of the crown. The crown roots also attach to the crown, emerging in sets of three or four, at different growth stages."
Probe for yield. The last step is probing to locate changes in soil density.
"Make sure you're not in a wheel track or where the gauge wheel ran," Bauer says. "Push the probe down, feeling for resistance, where it's harder to push through. Record the depth of the first layer you find. Then go down again, push through that layer, feel for the next layer and record its depth."
A penetrometer makes comparisons easier because it has a psi scale to help you find the layers. "You don't really need to assign numbers because you are simply comparing one area with another," Ferrie says.
Where a vertical tillage tool was set too shallow, columns of unworked soil are visible between tilled areas. Although it may be concealed by the effect of a vertical-till harrow, planter units will bounce or vibrate as they encounter tilled and untilled soil. If you see this, consider using a horizontal tillage tool, such as a field cultivator, to create a uniform seedbed.
When operated at the correct depth, a vertical tillage tool shatters soil uniformly, all the way to the surface and across the width of the implement.
