I appreciate the careful and intelligent thought Joe Wrobleski applies to all issues he encounters. He consistently reserves judgement until he considers all relative concerns and consequences. This is a developed thinking skill coming from many years practicing law as well as many years serving on the Falmouth Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee, Planning Board and now the Town Council. He is a real asset.
I have spoken to many people who serve as councilors or committee members in Falmouth and in non-governmental groups. All of them say one thing: Wrobleski works really hard, and he is thorough in his study of issues. He thinks things through. I personally appreciate his work to create a process by which the council can evaluate fire safety without Engine 3. This is a reasonable approach, relying on outcomes rather than projections, and giving the town flexibility in making a long- term decision regarding public safety.
Joe is committed to serving the Falmouth community with hard work, balanced thinking and fairness. His experience with long-term planning, from CPAC to being the chairman of the Council's Community Development Committee, coupled with his careful thoughtfulness give us a valuable asset in his continued seat on the council. Please vote for Joe Wrobleski on June 9.

|Mommy's New Toy
|Examples of Utility and Decorative Stitches
Since I began making cards and doing crafts several months ago, I wanted to invest in a good sewing machine that would last a long time and would do what I needed (sew decorative stitches, make buttonholes, work with crafts, and do simple repairs). The Janome 4120 does all that and more. In fact, even my five- and four-year-olds have played with the machine and love it. I've had this toy for about a week and so far I really like it. The motor is fairly quiet and the machine itself is relatively lightweight. The look is sleek and simple, with the option to use a foot pedal or go auto-pilot. How cool is that! I will update you in a few months on my progress and the machine's performance.

Open Thread 1-18-2018
The censorship worked.
Until the music videos of Buffy Sainte-Marie was included in a diary last week I was not aware of Buffy Sainte-Marie. Too young to for her record career and too old for Sesame Street performances. A strong example of a resilient person.
At the 23 minute mark Buffy Sainte-Marie discusses her opinion on the European invasion of the Americas and racism.
"We were attacked by gangs of alcoholics, who themselves were oppressed. By a feudal system that hit them before is ever got to us. There were serial killers on the thrones of Europe and nobody says it. There were serial killer on the thrones of Europe. That was what was going on in Europe. Ferdinand and Isabella, it was the inquisition and no one says it in native American Studies.
We were discovered during the Inquisition. It was the worst possible time for European people to be going around the world and meeting the indigenous people of the world. It was the worst possible timing. It was not because they were white. It was bad leadership. Every once and a while you can get bad leadership in a group.
That was what was going on. It takes the racism out of it. It was not that they were European. they were being oppressed by those same people. Their job was to come over and oppress indigenous people where they found them. They did not know. The same time in Europe, Henry the 8th was on the thrown. He did not just kill a few wives my friends. hundreds of thousands of people tortured, murdered because he wanted it In Eastern Europe, Vlad the Impaler was on the thrown when American Indians were discovered. Charming, Vlad the Impaler, that was Dracula. That is what happened and nobody says it.
Say it, because it takes the racism out of it, bad leadership. We need good leadership. We need it in our communities. We need it in our homes. We have a dysfunctional world. We can fix it. Good leadership, start it in the home, start it in the community. Teach it in the schools.
So how do we create a society that does not encourage becoming a soldier? Unstable employment, expensive education and few options for health care push individuals towards the military. Add the idea one is serving their country it appears to be a noble idea. It is not about disrespecting soldiers, but elevating peacemakers to at least the same value as we currently assign soldiers.
Ideas on growing food for others by sharing or bartering are being explored in different communities.
Forty percent of the food produced in the part of the planet we call the U.S. is wasted. Much of this waste ends up in landfills, where it produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The food–climate nexus is a window into a deeply broken system; studying it -- and experimenting with alternative economics within our communities -- can reveal solutions that benefit everyone.
Consider the gift economy, brilliantly on display every Sunday in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland, California. Pancho Ramos-Stierle is a driving force behind this free community farm stand, FrutaGift, which is painted in the colors of the season.
For over six years, Ramos-Stierle and his friends have gone to a local farmers market after closing time to help farmers clean and pack up. Farmers began offering their unsold organic fruits and vegetables for Ramos-Stierle to bring to the people in his neighborhood. Using this produce, he and his friends cook a sumptuous vegan meal that they bring the following week to share with the tired workers. A circle is created; everyone benefits. There is bounty and gratitude.
This short pamphlet on Harveting and Storing of Fresh Vegetables is helpful for the garden, farmers market and grocery store. When buying at the grocery store I assume the fresh produce is at least 3 to 7 days old. Nonseasonal produce such as apples, winter squash and potatoes may have already been in storage for several weeks. Generally do not buy more than 1 month supply.
Pictures of nature and wild creatures take us away briefly from our trappings of modern life. One of my favorite reasons to read the Friday Photo Diary. Been checking out the sounds of birds at the Macaulay Library.
Farm Report
The effects of the longer days are effecting the animals. Egg production is starting to creep upwards. Separated last springs calves from cows yesterday. New calves are only a few weeks away.
Inventorying seeds to take advantage of specials from the seed catalogues. Curios thought, best discounts normally offered for January and February. In the South are discounts offered during your regional growing seasons?
Sky was clear earlier this week. Took the opportunity to snap a picture of Mt Jefferson with winter snow.
The excursion into the field did not go unnoticed.
Who knows, might have been standing on the best place to graze. They certainly needed to check it out.
Good morning, SOE ~~
Thanks for that pamphlet on harvesting and storing fresh veggies. I am in need of it as we ramp up our garden this year. We are also very interested in the food-barter economy. Someday we plan to have a greenhouse to be more self-sufficient and have more to trade.
Nice looking snow on that mountain. We are dry as a bone here. No measurable moisture since October. Makes me nervous for fire season. It's nice and cold, though. Brrrrrrr.
Have a beautiful day, everyone!

So nice SOE
I would have loved standing in that field. Well maybe 15 minutes if it's cold,
Your so right about our 'soldiers'. They are rural kids with C grades in high school who have no options but unloading trucks at the Wal-Mart'.
I think everyone should be 'outstanding in their fields'.

Very interesting. Makes complete common sense
Sad and pathetic, too. Rec'd!!

Good morning SoE and c99
We never got above freezing yesterday, but the snow is gone...sublimed I guess. It was 5 degrees yesterday at dawn, and 12 this morning. A good cold winter may help reduce garden pests for next year. May as well look on the positive side.
I have not ventured into the garden this week, but the greens are probably okay under their covers. I'm sure the kale can handle the low temps, but the lettuce probably bit the bullet. Well it won't be long till time to do the spring planting.
We order seed from various catalogs, so there are occasionally specials. Southern exposure seed exchange is our go to catalog http://www.southernexposure.com/
We also use Johnny's seeds https://www.johnnyseeds.com/ I see they are having a sale.
We save some seed ourselves and plant out old potatoes and grow our own sweet potato slips. I usually buy onion sets, but we plant out our own garlic.
I hope you are all snug and warm in your different worlds. We are doing well in our corner of the planet. All the best...
"Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream."
if you talk the talk...
...you need to walk the walk. We try to use worker owned business products...like Bob's red mill grains based out in your part of the world SoE.
Just imagine showing up for work one day as a company employee and leaving as an owner. That dream came true for the employees at Bob's Red Mill on Bob's 81st birthday. Rather than receiving gifts, he decided to give his greatest gift away—his business. Bob surprised all his employees by giving them total ownership of Bob's Red Mill through an Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP).

Chihuahua governor starts '2nd revolution'
The week-long march "for the dignity of the people of Chihuahua" is intended in part to pressure authorities to hasten the extradition of former governor César Duarte, who is believed to be in the United States.
It will also highlight a battle over the revenues obtained by the federal government through the operation of bridges and how little is returned to the state.
please come to california
Corral called it a march for federalism and a new financial system and one that is "against political corruption, with a single demand from the people of Chihuahua at its center: that [President Enrique] Peña Nieto, Luis Videgaray Caso, the foreign affairs secretary, and the Attorney General's office streamline César Duarte's extradition trial so he can face the courts of Chihuahua."

According to the lawyers leading the charge water companies would have had to pay for repairs over the years, but instead hired a private firm to evaluate.
The lawyers also said that there was products bought for the dam over the years that were never delivered to the dam, but to a garage in Oroville and then sold.

ZOMG Spectre and Meltdown
Passing along this Microsoft blog link to folks who are wondering WTH is going on with this Spectre and Meltdown Malware-ageddon.
Bottom line:
- There are 3 Variants of the malware.
- Microsoft has issued mitigation updates via Windows Updates for 2 of the variants.
- The third variant is going to require you to install a microcode bios update to your computer from your computer vendor (not available yet from most vendors).
- The mitigation updates will affect your computer performance to some degree.
- CPUs from 2016 or later will have single digit performance slowdown. (will not be noticeable according to Microsoft)
- CPUs from 2015 or earlier will have noticeable performance slowdown. (no quantified estimate given)
- It will take years to re-engineer and manufacture CPUs that do not have the vulnerability.
Good luck to all.

Good Morning
Religion is the root of much evil. I have taken to referring to Christianity as a political movement, which often agitates the pious. It is probably better than my holiday's schtick about stopping belief in Santa Claus when I was 5 and the mystical sky being not long after that.
Distilled philosophy:
Fourteen percent of Americans are illiterate – which accounts for a large proportion of the third of Americans who assert that the Bible is the literal word of a god. - Trevor Treharne -
It always has been a political movement. The alleged Jesus,
whether itinerant preacher, a construct based on the preachings of several such, or a total fabrication, had nothing to do with Christianity. He wasn't there when it was founded, and had no say, ever, in its formation, formalization, doctrines and dogmas, rulers,armies, conquests, wars, and multitudinous atrocities. That was all a human political and economic creation and still is.
That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
Right ...
The Romans had a Palestinian problem. They didn't really care about itinerant preachers, of which there were many. Jesus got in trouble for his politics, for saying he was a king. That's why they crucified him, the sign on the cross said INRI, and that's why they eventually destroyed the temple.
On the other hand, I'm reading a book about the Bolsheviks right now and the author makes a very good case for Bolshevism being a religion; a millenarial sect just like the early Christians.
Forget where I read it
"And on the seventh day, man created God".
DACA is for plantation masters, amnesty now
I am so sick and tired of politicians kicking and abusing people in order to climb their precious D-Value ladders. it is disgusting. Get serious and provide blanket amnesty, otherwise stfu. DACA is Lucy with the football, that is all. Flush it, and don't ever let me hear you tell people to "get on a list" again. Hell no! NOPE
I HOPE Bacerra's past catches up to him, that would be sweet. Worst AG ever.
Young immigrants in Sonoma County join race to renew deportation reprieve
Foreign-born residents of Sonoma County have joined the rush of young immigrants nationwide who are scrambling to renew their requests for temporary protection from deportation, taking advantage of a court-ordered move by Trump administration to resume accepting such paperwork while it seeks to end the Obama-era program.
Itzel Lopez Sanchez, 22, of Santa Rosa is one of those seeking a renewed protected status with the federal government. Her deportation reprieve and work permit are up in May. On Saturday, she plans to seek assistance with her application at a clinic at Santa Rosa Junior College.
"You don't know if it can end again, or something else is going to happen," Sanchez said about the federal program, which has provided temporary deportation reprieve and work permits to 800,000 young immigrants brought into the country illegally as children.
I call bullshit on Ds, exploitation of immigrants from low wage regions weakened the power of local collective bargaining, simple math. They keep yanking the emo chain to acquire votes, while on their watch every labor law was gutted, reduced to nothing for low wage earners. DACA is for greedy bastards first and foremost. My brothers and sisters down south deserve better, much better. Amnesty now, then we can begin to address the overpopulation problems, and the broken systems of distribution, that's what I think.
Nobody 2018
fake democracy
maximum profit
You got that right
It is about labor exploitation. I always marveled at how the rhetoric is about immigrants taking jobs, yet the enforcement actions always focus on the individuals. Wouldn't it be more effective to go to the meat packing plant and arrest the plant manager and HR manager?
Down east North Carolina is dominated by cotton and Tabaco. There is a migrant farmer worker underground of exploited people living in shack barracks, paid little to nothing and abused. Speak up and get turned in. It seems to me that turning in an undocumented worker is an admission of breaking labor law and should result in the caller being arrested.
BTW, those same farmers are mostly right wingers. Obviously, they were not paying attention when Georgia screwed the pooch.
Georgia's Harsh Immigration Law Costs Millions in Unharvested Crops
Fourteen percent of Americans are illiterate – which accounts for a large proportion of the third of Americans who assert that the Bible is the literal word of a god. - Trevor Treharne -
ICE has already been here, where are the Ds?
California officials concerned about possible ICE sweeps
SACRAMENTO — California's attorney general said Wednesday he is concerned about open-ended immigration sweeps at a time he and other state officials say the Trump administration should be concentrating on deporting dangerous felons.
Attorney General Xavier Becerra said while it is the federal government's responsibility to protect the nation's borders, the goal should be public safety, not deporting otherwise law-abiding immigrants who are in the country illegally.
"We will, as always, work with our federal partners in every respect to go after drug dealers, human traffickers, potential terrorists," Becerra said. "We're not in the business of deportation. We're in the business of public safety."
He forgot "We're capitalists" and "That's the system." Btw, the follow on to Jerry Brown's system quote was "We try to mitigate that." which brings me back 'round again to yoda. Decades later, NOPE. D-diddly-done I am. There has to be a better way. Did I mention Sonoma County's criminal court software is another massive boondoggle from hell? I feel sorry for my cousin on the bench, he should be retired by now. It's too effed up.
California, a Texas Corporation.

Trump's Farm Policy: Agribusiness First
The current administration has consistently moved to further tilt the agriculture marketplace in favor of the big meatpackers and agrochemical companies, while significantly worsening conditions for many farm and food system workers
Fourteen percent of Americans are illiterate – which accounts for a large proportion of the third of Americans who assert that the Bible is the literal word of a god. - Trevor Treharne -
Good morning,
what a nice OT. I like the idea of helping to clean and pack up the farmers market and then redistribute the left-overs. So smart.
I've been reading Eric Toensmeier's Perennial Vegetable Gardening.In it he introduces extra-nutritious vegetables from around the world that can function as perennials. I'm going to try and trellis a few of the plants he suggest this year to function as a sun shade on the side of the house that gets too much sun exposure here in the summer.
That was mimi's entry that talked about Buffy Sainte-Marie last week. I was so glad that she brought her up and yes, Buffy Sainte-Marie is an amazing artist and person.
Makes me think of the Provos and the Diggers
That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
Inspirational on many levels
Thank you SOE. This morning I have had the opportunity to watch all of the videos, follow all the links, and download the pamphlet. I feel full. Wow.
Buffy's message = "it's not racism, it is bad leadership" . . . talking about feudal Europe meeting the new world. That's something missing from our Western Civilization history lessons. We always view feudalism as being unique to the middle ages, but in fact it was still part of the 19th century. Not an expert here, but reading Michener's "Poland" opened my eyes. Also remembering family stories. My dad always said that his family had no love for Norway. They were happy to leave, because at that time they were considered second class citizens. My great-grandfather won an international art award for his ski design. However, he was only able to receive the second place trophy because he was a second class citizen. Several of my aunts have traveled to Norway to see this trophy in a museum in Telemark. That generation was still pissed off about what they did to their grandfather. On my mom's side, my great-grandmother was a servant girl who was forced to herd sheep in Lapland in the summer. Life wasn't so great in Europe, that's why they emigrated. Certainly, you would think that if Americans were truly knowledgeable about why their great-grandparents, etc., came to this country, they would be more sympathetic to immigrants. I'ts all the same. My parents spoke Norwegian in the home, so I usually bring that up when I hear people complain about someone speaking Spanish.
Back to Buffy. Wow. I also appreciated how she encouraged us to make education wider through artistic expression. And who is surprised at the censorship? Hearing about it is still creepy.
Pity the military is a major source of jobs. I have two close family members who have good jobs in the army, where opportunities like that would not have been available elsewhere. They are getting close to having 20 years in now. These jobs do indeed need to evolve to peace keeping and building ventures.
This food sharing effort is close to my heart. I don't know about organizing movements, but it is pretty great to share eggs and veggies. Giving away cucuzza (Italian zucchini) was especially fun. They are funny looking, but taste great. My Italian mother-in-law remembers them from childhood. I don't give with the motivation that I will get back, but that usually happens in some way. Giving grows. Generosity begets generosity. Like in your story. It creates a circle.
Have not perused your veggie storing pamphlet yet, but downloaded it for later. The bird song library link I sent to my daughter. She put a bird feeder outside her bedroom window this year, and is starting to be a bird watcher. She will love this.
Beautiful photos as usual.

We live at around 7000' here in Colorado and the seasons can be very short and unpredictable here. We have always loved growing unusual things and love that Baker Creek has so many unusual plants to choose from. We were excited to try the jicama but knew it would be a little iffy at our location. We started seed in early March and then transplanted them out into our high tunnel around the end of April. The first year we grew them (we had started them later then we do now) I was disappointed at first as the plants never got very big. I was surprised though when early fall I stuck my finger in the ground and found a nice sized jicama underneath. The next year we started them earlier and they grew larger and produced two to three jicamas per plant that averaged around two pounds each. These have now become part of our staple crop for market and it is awesome to be able to finally taste a homegrown jicama! Very sweet, juicy and crisp! They do split easy with over watering though.
I think I am going to order some Jicama seeds. I was looking for yams though, after learning last week that they were not the same as sweet potatoes. Watched so many inspirational videos about yams, but especially liked this one on foraging for yams.
Hope to grow them using this method:
This is all part of a quest to truly discover foods that grow well in my area. Discovering cucuzza was nice surprise this past year. Looking forward to growing yard long green beans and more collards. Started tomato seeds last week and hope to put in good sized plants by March 1. Short day onions are on my dining room table waiting to be planted. Excited to see what I might find on the rare seeds site.
This is all for now . . . . have a great day! Thanks for the OT!

Rare seed iconic building was x the street from our Occupy Camp
that old bank building is pretty cool. It is right across the street from Penry Park (a.k.a. Cannonball Park), the most visible place we could find to Occupy Petaluma. I did support Occupy as much as possible from outside the city limits. Every day there would be a shift of people on all four corners with great signage. I remember Tim Nonn was a guy who got Kamala Harris (I think?) to put a moratorium on foreclosures for the holidays. Merry Christmas. Last I checked, he was elected to a school board in Rohnert Park. Awesome guy, very kind, he got royally screwed by Wells Fargo. I wonder if Harris lunches with Mnuchin these days?
After nine years spent in one of Petaluma's most notable historic buildings, The Seed Bank is set to relocate in the coming months.
"This is an incredible building, but it's really big and we just don't need that much space at this point," manager Ellyn Mavalwalla said.
"It's a triangle – seeds, sustainability and supporting local businesses," Mavalwalla said.

Bird nerds call it "birding", not "bird watching", I don't know exactly why. Maybe because the birds are also watching, it is redundant. Bird watching what? I love birds, here's an Anna stopping by for a drink:
mine mine all mine
We have ruby throated hummingbirds. They seem to love petunias, so I always have petunias on the back porch.
Better, there is an owl in the neighborhood. Often heard but rarely seen. Recently, I was walking along the greenway, when something big came through the canopy, crossed the trail and into the canopy on the other side. I took me a minute to figure out it was the owl, and by that time it was gone.
We also have red hawks. The astute observer can detect the squirrel chatter, when the hawks are circling above.
Fourteen percent of Americans are illiterate – which accounts for a large proportion of the third of Americans who assert that the Bible is the literal word of a god. - Trevor Treharne -
Dotard Twitler were time-warped back to your great-grandfather's time, he would be screaming about the Norwegians rowing over from their shithole country to bestain the Americans.
For the vast majority of their shared history, including the period in the mid- to late 1800s and early 1900s that comprised the biggest wave of immigration from what is now Norway to the United States, Norway might have been on the president's so-called manure pile.
Norwegians, based on their mostly rural, low-income occupations such as farming, fishing and logging, arrived in the United States with the lowest earning potential of any national group. Even after 30 years in the country, the authors found, Norwegians had failed to find higher-paying work and close the gap with either native earners or most other European immigrants.
By that same measure, even second-generation Norwegian Americans had failed to assimilate and move into higher-paying occupations than their immigrant parents.
That's not a critique of people from Norway, or of farmers and lumberjacks in general. Instead, it's evidence that assimilation is a difficult and gradual process. It takes generations, perhaps a long as a century, to catch up to the native population. On the whole, the immigrants of today look to be on a path similar to that followed by Norwegians and others in their study.
Universal Soldier - Great song/lyrics.
I'm rapidly becoming a Buffy Sainte-Marie fan boy.
It is amazing how we gin up so much worship for 'The Troops'. Mentioning that "It's for the troops" seems to validate any sociopathic idea you want push. It helped Trump make non-patriots out of the kneeling football players who were simply protesting social injustice. Now we have the sociopathic Repub Freedom Caucus threatening to shut down the gubmint unless spending is increased on the already insane Defense budget. The insanity just won't end.

The troops?
Don't you mean the economically disenfranchised brain washed people who fight other peoples battles, to protect other peoples wealth, while those people's children go to frat parties? Veterans, actually everybody, do not want to hear, "You were duped and used".
A sad old soldier once told me a story
About a battlefield that he was on
He said a man should never fight for glory
He must know what is right and what is wrong

Funny how no one writes anti-war songs anymore.
In the '60s it seemed like every band had at least one.
Nice Steve Earle video, had not heard that one before.
And yes, dumbfounding that The Troops haven't figured out they are being used by the Rich SOBs.

you ask:
So how do we create a society that does not encourage becoming a soldier?
And the answer is:
It's simple. There's nothing at all complicated about it.
War—There won't be war when you decide you won't murder other human beings.
You cannot hate without hating all; and you cannot kill some without killing all—because the welfare of any man is the welfare of all men. Through violence men are made to enslave and murder one another; through violence the world has been turned into this unimaginable hell; through violence the rulers of this hell are enabled to maintain their positions.
Killing is not permissible. When that is understood, there will be no serial killers.
As for this:
Unstable employment, expensive education and few options for health care push individuals towards the military.
It is anathema to excuse a serial killer because s/he needs a job, or health insurance, or an education. No one gazing at the guts spilling out of the cooling bodies of their dead children ever said it was a-okay because the serial killers who snuffed out their lives were just trying to earn some money, get their teeth fixed, go to a school.
Add the idea one is serving their country it appears to be a noble idea.
The notion that one is "serving their country," by becoming a serial killer, is an obscenity.
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime.—
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
Buffy sometimes uses an overly broad brush
Ferdinand and Isabella were not - quite - contemporaries of Henry the 8th (Henry the 7th, yes, but he was another serial killer anyway, just didn't kill off wives - he couldn't afford to). Vlad the Impaler was earlier (d. 1477), and spent most of his career standing off the Ottoman Turks, who were as bad as he was, or worse. His successors - and there were a lot of them, because the political situation went chaotic - mainly caved.
She could mention, but doesn't, that Ferd and Izzy were directly responsible for messing up the "Holy" Roman Empire - their daughter Joanna married Philip of Hapsburg and begot Charles I/Emperor Charles V, during whose rule Mexico was invaded and conquered. The Hapsburgs ran Spain into the ground, mainly because of a seemingly endless supply of Mexican and South American gold and silver (but also because of their nasty habit of inbreeding).
Catherine of Aragon was Ferd and Izzy's youngest daughter, and as Henry the 8th's wife had one all-important job: produce a male heir. She failed, with one live daughter and a lot of stillbirths/miscarriages (Rh factor? Kell factor? Just really rotten luck?). Henry didn't kill her off, he did something worse - he divorced her, and discarded her like rubbish (partly because she wouldn't go quietly).
And yes, it was Ferd and Izzy who ran the last of the Jews out of Spain - in 1492, when they conquered Granada, the last Muslim holdout.
Ferd and Izzy have a lot to answer for.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Good orning, SOE, thanks. I have Buffy's first album somewhere.
She never really caught on except among the fringe residents out on the society's fringes.
Food sharing needs to be greatly expanded, as does food production, not by the pros, but by all the hoi polloi. Grow what you can, eat what you need and share the rest unless you need the revenues from selling.
Thanks for the pamphlet. There was a time when I would buy selected things at the Oakland produce market, in season, and try to preserve it for the future. Now we preserve some of the products of our yard, but I should probably consider expanding what we preserve by purchasing at farm stands. Storage space, however, is already at a premium. All the same, I will clip and stash that pamphlet here and there.
We who understand need to constantly educate folks that nobody in the military is serving the country. They are serving the oligarchs, the weapons makers and the plundergarchs out trying to control and exploit all the rest of the world. Nobody is attacking us and nobody is likely to. We need no huge standing army. Killing for hire, though a job, is not a noble one. Today's armies are brigands with uniforms, hitmen for a different kind of mobsters, but mobsters all the same. Gunslingers. The US has no noble goals, causes or aims.
That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
Buffy Sainte Marie Uncensored
UNCENSORED Buffy
Whoa, tripod.com with a lycos ad. Blasts from the pasts.
When I was ten I ran away from home with a hobo stick, to be with AIM on Alcatraz. LOL! I don't remember how far I got, but I definitely remember that hobo stick, my bindle of crackers and a peanuts book. I had to turn back after all the crackers were gone, defeated by hunger already. Every one of my family had a very good laugh at me for a long time after that, haha lucky me
The beacon flashed incessantly. On. Off. On again. Like some sort of traffic light gone crazy, it pierced the nighttime mist over San Francisco Bay, sending a message from Ghirardelli Square to Alcatraz Island five miles away. There, cheers erupted as the light flashed the words, "Go Indians!" It was the autumn of 1969. Thousands of American Indians occupied the abandoned remains of Alcatraz, the federal penitentiary that housed America's most notorious criminals until closing in 1963.
LaNada Boyer inside one of the Alcatraz guard barracks where occupiers lived from 1969-71. Much of the graffiti from 30 years ago remains throughout the island today. Photo by Linda Sue Scott.The occupiers held the island for nearly eighteen months, from Nov. 20, 1969, until June 11, 1971, reclaiming it as Indian land and demanding fairness and respect for Indian peoples. They were an unlikely mix of Indian college activists, families with children fresh off reservations and urban dwellers disenchanted with what they called the U.S. government's economic, social and political neglect.
I also lived in Pacific Heights once or twice, Pelosi's district. Last time was the mid 70s version of "returning home to live with parents" for my own parents, plus kids. The whole family including aunts uncles cousins would meet there on Christmas eve every year. It was an Italian Villa called the Casebolt House and the attic had an awesome view of Alcatraz island. The basement had a room with a marble floor, I'd skate around in my socks after the butler waxed it. Sliding down the bannisters from the third floor was a real thrill, slipping off the inside would mean landing on the first floor, ouchy style. Thanks goodness it never happened to me. Lots of other stuff happened, but not that.
My poor parents, did they have the right approach after all? Smoke and drink, die young, be happy. I took a different healthier path, which I now regret. Resolving to be more careful in the asking department now. Thanks.
The Hillbot Battle Cry (humor)
I came across this on another blog and how could I not burst out laughing? This is the single most clearly distilled version of the "Democratic message" I've ever read:
"it's all your fault for not backing who WE wanted who would have been GREAT just like everything before was FINE until YOUR RACISM AND MISOGYNY ruined everything!"
IanWelsh.Net - Comment by MojaveWolf
Maybe it's just me but that's some damned fine writing! Here's my version:
We stand behind the right of gays to get married (sort of). We don't think they should have food, shelter, healthcare, clean water to drink, clean air to breath, a healthy ecosystem, or a safe world. But they absolutely should be able to get married!
A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.

Thanks for the OT, SOE
Have always held Buffy Sainte Marie in high esteem and with the same respect as Joan Baez and Janis Ian. Courageous women speaking out about war and suffering and inequality at a dangerous time in America.
Universal Soldier was purposefully ignored in playlists on what was then predominately AM stations during the Vietnam War.
Heh, AM was all we had as FM was still being expanded.
And thanks for the pamplet on harvesting.
I didn't know how broccoli could be so hardy as I still have 3 plants from last spring producing crowns after several exposures to sub freezing temps.
I'am going to leave them grow till spring just to see what happens.
They taste fine.
I look forward to exchanging ideas and tips here with everybody as spring planting approches.
Coming in late - my audio device services crashed on my laptop -
can't listen to and hear anything anymore. Grrrr. That's my second computer which gives up. But from all I can read, this is a treasure of an Open Thread with great comment links. If it rains it pours around here. I wished I could talk about it, but no words get over my lips. It's all in the back of my mind.
So glad you are all here and give your best.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
The censorship worked.
Until the music videos of Buffy Sainte-Marie was included in a diary last week I was not aware of Buffy Sainte-Marie.
That's odd, as I've been aware of Buffy and her work since my early adolescence some 50 years ago. Truth be told, I was glad to hear she was still living!
However, I do realize that there was a real effort in the late 1960s by President Johnson to keep her music from being broadcast.....

Buffy Sainte-Marie and c99
The stages of our lives are windows to the world and the popular historical views at the time. Late 60's was grade school for me.
Myself as well. Of course, my Mom was a progressive anti-war activist in the conservative town I lived in. (I protested the bombing of Cambodia at her side at age 11!) And we had lots of Native Americans about, who were damn proud of their sister Buffy and demanded to hear her music whether USAF SAC and their Commander-in-Chief Lyndon Johnson wanted it or not!
It continues to amaze me the differences of life experiences collected and expressed by the members of C99. What is common knowledge or feeling to one member another member may be totally naive. The value of the site is the space to express and discuss those thoughts without instant criticism that is our greatest value and enhances each of our lives.
This, most certainly! A major reason I keep reading c99 is what I learn every day from doing so!
"I say enough! If Israel wants to be the only superpower in the Middle East then they can put their own asses on the line and do it themselves. I want to continue to eat."

Ahh '69
I'm a bit older.
In '69 I was married, had a newborn, had just enrolled in Jr. College, and was working full time.
My only brother was somewhere in the jungles of Vietnam.
I so wanted him home. Eventually, he did.

As a mama of two sweet girls, one thing I am for sure is a bow mama. The minute I know I'm having a precious baby girl, I start scouring for headbands and bows and I pop one of those pretty little ribbons on their head the minute we're in our hospital room. When I found out I was having our second girl, little Emma Brooke, although our drawer was nearly overflowing with headbands Eleanor had outgrown, I wanted her to have some headbands of her own. I wanted something simple, sweet, and feminine and found Rosemae's Treasures on Instagram. Checking out her site, it took me about 30+ minutes of favoriting (totally not a real word, just go with me on it) every bow and set before I could settle on one for myself. Then I totally went with a cop out set of the Premium Secret Grab Bag set of 5 where she would just choose for me. Ha ha ha!
The set came so quickly and had all of my favorites! It couldn't have been more perfect for me! The bows are all so feminine and I love the soft nude band. The headbands are one size fits all and work with little babies as small as preemies and stretch as your bundle of joy grows. I'm really happy with the customer service, quality, and fast shipping. Before my purchase, I had emailed Lauren with some questions and she always responded really quickly. I love finding great shops that you can count on and my little girl looks ridiculously cute in these bows!
Rosemae's Treasures is giving one reader their choice of a trio set! The giveaway will run from Monday September 7 through 12AM PST Friday September 11, US residents only, with the winner being announced on Instagram on Friday and this post will be updated with the winner as well.
Here are some of the trio sets I have my eyes on:

(Chicago, IL) — With no detailed feedback still from Gov. Pat Quinn's office, Illinois House Deputy Majority Leader Lou Lang (D-Skokie) is moving forward with a "clean=up bill" that will attempt to address some of the governor's public criticism of Illinois gaming legislation that will soon land on Quinn's desk.
WBEZ radio's Kristen McQueary has the story:
"Despite delays and debunked predictions—and a never-ending wait for Gov. Pat Quinn's decision on a gambling expansion bill—supporters of expanded gambling in Illinois say they expect to find common ground by Oct. 25, the first day of the fall veto session.
The bill, stalled for months due to policy differences, political infighting and Quinn's reluctance to increase gambling venues, remains a top priority.
But the waiting game may be ending soon. Unless Quinn outlines his concerns "in short order," legislative leaders will present him with their own version of a clean-up gaming bill, known as a trailer bill, that will tighten control over the proposed Chicago-owned casino, according to State Rep. Lou Lang (D-Skokie), House sponsor of the bill."

Steroid.com Home » Steroid Videos » Canseco on Steroids » Jose Canseco - Calls Out Alex Rodriguez and Challenges Him to a Fight!
Jose Canseco - Calls Out Alex Rodriguez and Challenges Him to a Fight!"To me, A-Rod is the biggest [*%#$!]… [he] is an open challenge and I'll beat [his] %$# in the ring if I ever
catch [him]!"
In his most controversial video blog yet, a provoked Canseco finally opens up about his personal
disputes with the current NY Yankee surrounding rumored suspicions from their past. Replying to fan
questions regarding his ill feelings towards Rodriguez, the tell-it-like-it-is Canseco explains that his beef
with the ball player stems from issues relating to his (Canseco's) prior marriage.
"…I asked him [Rodriguez] face to face…have you ever [went] out with my ex-wife…he said 'no Jose, I'm
a man's man I would never do that'. But later on I found out from my ex-wife that they were [actually]
going out, that they were seeing each other."
In an attempt to switch the focus away from his personal vendettas, Canseco goes on to convey
his continued lack of respect for Rodriguez. In response to another fan question as to why he addresses
Rodriguez as a "hater" in terms of his views on steroids, Canseco explains his impressions of the stance
that A-Rod, formerly known as "The Cooler", initially took when challenged with rumors of steroid use:
"He tried to act like he never touched steroids…testified a million times…He's the guy that spoke
out aggressively against guys that were using steroids."
Canseco wraps up his sixth video blog on Steroid.com discussing subjects like political figures speaking
out against steroid users in sports, and ends with a promise to fans for even more "ranting and raving"
in the future.

Flags are at half mast at Nottinghamshire councils today as the county pays its respects to those affected by the terror attack in Barcelona.
On Thursday afternoon, August 17, a van rammed into a crowd of people in Barcelona, killing 13 people and injuring at least 100.
The atrocity was followed hours later by a second possible terror attack in Cambrils, south of Barcelona, where police shot dead five suspected terrorists.
Nottinghamshire County Council said: Our flags at County Hall have been lowered to half-mast as a mark of respect for the victims of the attack in Barcelona.
And Ashfield District Council tweeted: "We are flying the flag at half mast today to remember those who lost their lives in the #BarcelonaAttacks"

Hi all, I don't often have time to read postings and rarely post, but I want to thank you all for being here. My husband tries to be supportive but often doesn't believe me so it sure is helpful to go on here and find even more information than I was looking for! Have a wonderful spring weekend!!!

Read and post when you can or when you want. No pressure. Glad you find the forum helpful. A lot of people with husbands or wives who don't have diabetes the partner just doesn't always "get it", so it is good to have some place to go where there are others who do. Come when you can.
This is a great place to find support. My husband tries very hard to help me, but he just doesn't totally understand what it is like to have diabetes. It is nice to be able to communicate with people who are going through the same problems.

- Page 1 Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1 Waterproof Camcorder
- Page 2 Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1
- Page 3 Sanyo Xacti VPC-WH1
We had been used to Sanyo camcorders not putting up much of a fight when it comes to image quality. But, like Samsung, Sanyo has been gradually improving this aspect of its products, culminating in the impressive VPC-HD2000. Unfortunately, with its small CMOS sensor, the WH1 was never going to be capable of feats matching the HD2000. In good lighting, performance is decent enough, with faithful colour and enough detail to warrant the HD classification.
However, low light performance is crucial for all camcorders, particularly one intended for shooting in murky underwater conditions, and this is where the WH1 comes more unstuck. In poor illumination, a reasonable amount of colour is maintained and white balance stays relatively accurate, but there are clear signs of grain and the overall image is dull. Enabling High Sensitivity brightens things up considerably, but at the expense of seething grain, which sometimes sports a criss-cross pattern reminiscent of tartan. This translates to acceptable performance in shallow water in good light, but try diving close to the 3m limit on a dull day and you may not be so pleased with the results.
Underneath the SDHC slot is a proprietary dual-function port for USB 2.0 and A/V, with a composite and stereo RCA audio breakout cable provided for the latter, although component is an optional extra. There is also an HDMI port, although this is of the mini variety so will require an adapter for attaching to an HDTV, which isn't included. Video is recorded as MPEG-4 AVC H.264, but not in AVCHD format. Instead, MP4 files are used, which we have found aren't as universally compatible with editing software. Adobe software in particular has trouble interpreting these correctly. The WH1 actually has video and image editing capabilities built in, should you not have a computer to hand for this, although these are very modest.
On paper, Sanyo looked like it had stolen a march on Panasonic with the Xacti VPC-WH1, as the first consumer-oriented waterproof HD camcorder. But whilst its moisture-repelling capabilities are commendable, video performance in poorly lit underwater conditions isn't so outstanding. Nevertheless, you will still be able to grab many moments of aquatic pleasure, and at under £300 it's incredibly good value. So this may not be the perfect HD video water baby, but at least Sanyo's Xacti VPC-WH1 won't mean you have to dig deep to dive deep.

I've recently met a great pages where people from all around a globe offer their photographs for artist as a reference pictures. Here there are:
Great thing about it is that you pick your picture, portray it in your own style and you post it on the pages and tag a creator of the photo reference so that he or she can see that his or her photo was inspiring for an effort.
I've done two pieces from this pages and both had a huge success among the people on pmp-art.com which made me so happy and I keeps me motivated (although today was a hard day at work and I've decided just to procrastinate which doesn't feel always good but what you gonna do right? :-) )
Here they are:
Tiger cub (oil on gesso board 6 x 8 inches)
Samurai (oil on streched canvas 20x30 inches)
If you want to see the actual reference photos go to my profile on the pmp-art.com
where are the linkages under my paintings that will bring you towards creators...
Have a nice Evening everyone!

About me? I'm human, with a nose, arms, legs and all the other regular bits and I'm male (so include those bits in the previous list if you would). I'm a fan of ale, wine, sci-fi & fantasy type stuff, food, writing in pubs, laughing and loads of other things.
I live in London with a more prolific writer, the bane of feet (cat), some of the more interesting sentient teddy bears around, door-slamming thunderous neighbours who I believe to be anger demons and, because it's a poor old building, a bit of mould.

If you have a document relating to your investigation that is not already online – for instance a PDF, a Word document, a scanned document, or a letter, here is some advice on how to get it into the investigation:
1. Get it onto your computer if it isn't already
If your evidence is physical – e.g. a printout – then use a scanner to get it onto your computer. Many company photocopiers now offer this facility as well.
2. Upload it to a document-sharing website
There are a number of these. Scribd is a very useful place to store PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and Powerpoint presentations. You will need to create a (free) account first. Once you do, just follow the instructions given here. You can also use the service to create backup copies of documents that are already online. (more…)

Trapped in Lumairon
Barnabas Qault
Curious leader of the Silver and Gold Caravan
Physical description:
lThis tall man in his eary 40s, stands at around 6'1'', wearing his long brown hair in a ponytail, he keeps his full beard unshaven.
Barnabas usually wears a long sleeve white flax shirt, with a tanned leather jerkin. There is a black tattoo that seems to go from the back of his hand and up his sleeve; the entirety of which has not been seen.
Barnabas talks with, what should be, an "Irish" accent.
Barnabas is the leader of the Silver and Gold Caravan, and seems well liked by almost all of his employees/hired-hands, baring Harden who seems to think his gut feelings are going to get the entire caravan killed one day.
Barnabas seems to have an eye for coin, and is eager to make a deal whenever it involves coin or free labor. He shows knowledge of the road and countryside that suggests years of experience with the area.
VARRAK seems to have some bond with Barnabas, acting as a bodyguard. He goes as far as watching Barnabas from afar in this endeavor. Barnabas believes VARRAK to be too paranoid. The source of this bond is unknown.
He and his 2nd in command, Harden, seem to be in stressed relations. One of the reasons for this perhaps being the new editions to the caravan?

Those who know me would probably testify otherwise, but let's put things into perspective: I haven't taken any I.Q tests of late, but I'm sure it's slightly above average. But there are, there most definitely are many, many others whose are way higher than mine. Tales abound of child geniuses, kids who've had PhDs as young as twelve. I'm eighteen and still have a year and a half of high school ahead of me. Leonardo da Vinci, estimated to have been the most intelligent man to have lived was a master of the arts and sciences, decades ahead of his contemporaries. I am but a blind, bumbling fool in comparison to him.
Let's take into account the sum total of man's collected wisdom and knowledge. There are eight odd billion functioning minds on the planet today, and billions more have flared for but a moment and ceased to exist. Can we possibly calculate how much knowledge has passed through these minds, passed on to eager, young disciples or committed into writing? How much more has been lost, descending to the grave with its owner?
Taking it further, how much more is there to be known? The universe is infinitely vast, and we occupy an insignificant rock, the third from an insignificant sun in an unfashionable part of the universe (with apologies to Douglas Adams). How much knowledge, how many mysteries does the universe hold? How much of it do we, the human race, possess?
These are questions to ponder about, questions which the human race needs to keep in mind. Ultimately, who has the right to call himself smart, to lord it over others because he is intellectually superior? I certainly do not.

When Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer went down with long-term injuries in short order, the Rockies offense appeared to take a big hit. Instead, Corey Dickerson has cashed in on the opportunity and has potentially turned himself into a mainstay for Walt Weiss and company.
Dickerson became an everyday starter for the Rockies on May 28. Entering play that day, he was hitting .347/.372/.653 in limited duty. That season-long slash line is up to .354/.410/.667 thanks to a June in which he has hit .365/.420/.667 with four homers and 15 RBI. Dickerson has at least one hit in all but three of his starts in June, and has seven multi-hit games.
While he has been scorching of late, Dickerson has performed any time he has been given a chance this year. Even though he has primarily been a backup, his batting average has been north of .300 since April 21, his OBP has been better than .350 since April 20 and his slugging percentage has eclipsed .600 since May 10. Despite his recent surge and everyday spot in the lineup, though, he has yet to receive widespread notice from fantasy owners. That needs to be rectified immediately.
Dickerson has proven himself a commodity in fantasy leagues, and with Gonzalez and Cuddyer each on the shelf for at least another month, he's going to find his name in the lineup every single day for the foreseeable future. Even when they come back, Dickerson has done more than enough to warrant regular playing time. He should be owned in all leagues, regardless of size.
Roster Trends
Most added
Corey Dickerson, Rockies -- Even though he isn't as widely owned as he should be, Dickerson is the most added player in fantasy leagues in the last three days. He has been unstoppable at the plate recently, going 17-for-39 with three homers and 11 RBI in his last 10 games. He's now hitting .354/.410/.667 with 10 homers on the season.
Steve Pearce, Orioles -- Pearce is one of the hottest hitters in baseball, posting a .424 batting average (14-for-33) with two homers in his last 10 games. Given his recent production and safe spot in the lineup, he's worth consideration in most fantasy leagues.
Scooter Gennett, Brewers -- Gennett has six multi-hit performances in his last seven games, running his batting average to .311 from .289 in that stretch. With second base forever shallow, Gennett should be owned in most mixed leagues.
Most dropped
Jon Singleton, Astros -- Singleton is 0-for-10 in his last three games, and is now hitting just .203/.288/.422 in his brief time in the majors. Still, his power makes him a fantasy asset.
Jason Grilli, Pirates -- After a handful of rough outings all within a week of each other, Grilli lost his job as the Pittsburgh closer. If you have the roster space to keep him around, however, you should do so. This move may just be temporary.
Yangervis Solarte, Yankees -- Solarte has come crashing back to earth, and is slashing just .160/.288/.220 in 59 plate appearances in June. Feel free to get rid of him in even deeper mixed leagues.

Favorable matchups
Angels (vs. Minnesota, @ Kansas City) -- Any week that includes the Twins is a good one for an opposing offense, and the Angels also have the good fortune to avoid James Shields when they visit Kansas City over the weekend.
Braves (@ Houston, @ Philadelphia) -- Not only do the Braves spend the entire week in good parks for hitters, they won't face either Houston's or Philadelphia's best pitchers. They are not scheduled to face Dallas Keuchel or Cole Hamels.
Tigers (@ Texas, @ Houston) -- Other than Keuchel, the Tigers have strong matchups for the entire week. They'll face Colby Lewis, Nick Tepesch, Joe Saunders, Brad Peacock and Scott Feldman. Playing six total games in the state of Texas helps, too.
Mets (vs. Oakland, @ Pittsburgh) -- The Mets begin their week with a tough matchup against Scott Kazmir, but then things get considerably easier. They are slated to see Brad Mills, Vance Worley, Brandon Cumpton, Edinson Volquez and Jeff Locke.
Mariners (vs. Boston, vs. Cleveland) -- The Mariners are a light-hitting bunch, but they could change that, at least for one week. They will see John Lackey, but Jake Peavy and Clay Buchholz have struggled this year, and they do not have to go up against Corey Kluber.
Unfavorable matchups
Diamondbacks (vs. Cleveland, @ San Diego) -- The Diamondbacks only play five games this week. Three of those are in San Diego, and they have to face Tyson Ross, Andrew Cashner and Corey Kluber.
Orioles (vs. Chicago White Sox, vs. Tampa Bay) -- The Orioles have a very rough week ahead, as they're scheduled to face Chris Sale, Jake Odorizzi, Alex Cobb and Chris Archer.
Red Sox (@ Seattle, @ New York Yankees) -- The Red Sox have to deal with Felix Hernandez and Masahiro Tanaka, who are likely running first and second for the AL Cy Young award, this week. They'll also go up against Hisashi Iwakuma in Seattle.
Cubs (vs. Cincinnati, vs. Washington) -- The Cubs have an especially tough weekend with the Nationals coming to Chicago for four games. On the plus side, they won't see Stephen Strasburg. On the down side, they will have to deal with Doug Fister, Tanner Roark, Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann.
Royals (vs. Los Angeles Dodgers, vs. Los Angeles Angels) -- Los Angeles heads east this week, with the Dodgers and Angels visiting Kauffman Stadium. Unfortunately for the Royals, they start the week by facing Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw.

Changes to Part L of the Building Regulations have been delayed, it was announced last week.
The changes – which include new targets for fabric energy efficiency and improvement on 2010 standards – are now to be implemented in April 2014 instead of the original October 2013 target. The decision has largely been met with criticism, as the delay could potentially hamper efforts to achieve zero carbon for all new homes by 2016.
"The whole timescale for achieving zero carbon is in danger of being derailed by government delays and setbacks," said John Sinfield, managing director of Knauf Insulation Northern Europe.
Brian Berry, chief executive of the Federation of Master Builders, similarly argued: "We support the idea that 'zero carbon' should be the end destination, but the timetable for achieving it must be realistic and deliverable. The overwhelming feeling is that policy is running well ahead of the industry's ability to deliver on these commitments."
In addition, the proposed changes show a reduction in targets. The energy-efficiency standards for new homes have been reduced to 6% above the 2010 regulations, compared to the 8% suggested in the original consultation in 2012. The requirements for non-domestic buildings have also been cut, from a maximum 20% target compared to 2010 standards, down to just 9%.

Benjamin Rivers On The Importance of Boxing Up His Home
April 25, 2012 2:00 PM | John Polson
Benjamin Rivers recently began taking pre-orders for a June 1 release of his pixelated horror adventure Home. A mere $2 will net a DRM-free digital download of Home. The ambitious Old-School Collector's Edition costs $20 (plus shipping) and includes physical packaging, a town map and mapping tools, classic-style game manual, and exclusive game-universe artifacts.
IndieGames' readers seemed pretty excited about Home's trailer that warns no play through will "end well" along with the game's narrative that adapts to choices made. Readers also got pretty worked up over another indie developer releasing boxed copies of his games, so I asked Rivers about his bold move to box Home.
While Rivers had previously done contract work or freeware releases, Home is his first commercial release. Even so, he felt the box set is important because of the design concept that defines Home. Rivers tells IndieGames, "I gave a talk at last year's Gamercamp regarding what I call 'ambient narrative' -- that combination of elements in a game that hints at background, history and context, clues that an eager player will pick up on and use to flesh out a game world in his/her own mind."
Rivers explained that because technology was so limited, games used to use physical packaging as part of the experience "through artwork, in-universe tchotchkes and overall presentation-- that was more than just an excuse for a pretty layout. This packaging was often essential 'getting' the game as a whole; in a way, old releases were part computer game, part board game, because that physical aspect was so important."
The Home Collector' Set even contains some things that are meant to be viewed after playing through the game. "Since Home is a narrative based game that requires players to invest themselves this way, it seemed natural to provide a physical component, just to get folks in the mood, so to speak."
Those who take the plunge and pre-order Home's collector set will get something personalized that Rivers hopes will complete the experience. "It's a small detail, but an important one, I think."
