Returning to England after having travelled extensively in Afghanistan and India Incredible String Band founder Clive Palmer formed COB (Clive's Original Band) with Mick Bennett and John Bidwell. Based in the rustic, away from it all, surroundings of Cornwall it wasn't long until the ISB connection led old friend Ralph McTell to come in contact with the bohemian folkies. McTell instantly fell in love their distinctive eerie songs and helped the trio to get signed with CBS. Moyshe McStiff And The Tartan Lancers Of The Scared Heart was released in August '72 and it's an eclectic stew of folk traditions based on Palmer's interest in Rastafarianism (a few years before Marley graced the British charts), ancient Middle Eastern and English music. The material is approached in a similar manner to the ISB, but less fraught and purposefully weird. Bennett's gentle winsome vocal counteracts Palmer's coarser, direct manner of singing, whilst a variety of stringed instruments, pipes, harmonium and percussion make for a deliciously simple, yet effective acid-folk blend. An ethereal, bleak beauty blankets much of the music. Wonderfully poignant, and memorable. A lost classic! (shindig-magazine.com)
Steeleye Span - Commoners Crown (1975)
"Commoner's Crown," Steeleye's seventh album, was first released on vinyl in the US on the Chrysalis label in 1977 (two years after it's initial release in England). Today, it is only available on CD by import. This is a real shame as it ranks with the Steeleye's best.
The songs this time out tend to fall well within the term eerie. "Little Sir Hugh," which kicks off the album may seem a bright little ditty on first listen, but the cheery melody is in direct contrast to the song's woeful tale of murder. (It also has an acapella break that'll make the hair on the back of your neck stand at attention). "Long Lankin" still haunts with its tale of uprising and violence. In "Demon Lover" a young woman learns (the hard way) the true identity of the man who has been courting her, and "Elf Call" offers the odd comfort of an elf king taking pity on a woman who has lost her child.
Not all here is so bleak and spooky. The album ends with a good natured "New York Girls' that is complete with a ukulele solo (and backing vocals) from Peter Sellers, and offers a humorous send off for what otherwise just might be the ultimate album for All Hallow's Eve! (amazon.com review)
Sabicas - Rock Encounter With Joe Beck (1966)
In 1966 Sabicas, one of the great Flamenco guitarists, went into a studio in New York with jazz/rock guitarist Joe Beck and three of NYC's best session players, producing what is probably the first fusion album. Only it's not jazz/rock fusion, it's flamenco/rock fusion! The juxtaposition of Sabicas's precise acoustic playing with Beck's out of control, fuzzed-out, 60's style leads is awesome and I'm sure unique. Really has to be heard. My only complaint is that it's so short, like all albums of the period.
Koerner, Ray And Glover - Blues, Rags And Hollers (1963)
Koerner, Ray and Glover were the coolest group to emerge from the 1960's "Folk Revival" movement, and this album, their first, is an absolute classic. They were the perfect antithesis to the perpetrators of "Tom Dooley" and "Puff, The Magic Dragon". Groups like the squeaky-clean Kingston Trio must have been absolutely horrified by these dudes. They were weird - "Spider John" Koerner sometimes played a 7-string guitar, they were known to appear at festivals in a drunken state, their music could be ragged and enthusiastically sloppy - and they played blues. I mean check out their pictures on the cover and then look at photos of Peter Paul and Mary or the Chad Mitchell Trio. Koerner Ray and Glover looked like trouble-makers for sure! In 1963 the Folk Music world was segregated - black performers played the blues and white acts played Appalachian/European material. K, R & G might be the first white group to play 'black' material. To be honest, there are a few 'ragtimey' tracks that don't do much for me, but this is a brilliant album and every folk music fan should have this. Tracks like "One Kind Favor", "Down To Louisiana", and "Jimmy Bell" are so damn good it's not funny.
Part 1 Part 2
Michael Chapman - Fully Qualified Survivor (1970)
Michael Chapman's second release is a sadly overlooked classic of English 'contemporary folk' and contains some of his best known songs, including his only hit, "Postcards of Scarborough". This is also the first appearance of Mick Ronson, whose work on this led to his long-time collaboration with David Bowie. Steeleye Span bassist Rick Kemp is also on hand. Melancholic and passionate, Chapman's brilliant songwriting, his gravelly vocals and his accomplished finger picking make this an album for any fan of folky music.
Hank Williams - Alone With His Guitar
This collection of solo performances is divided between radio appearances before he became famous, and demo recordings made after he was already well-known. The radio recordings are all from 1949, and all but one are covers of popular country songs of the day. The only original, "Alone and Forsaken" is so eerily moving it is almost scary. The balance of the disc, the demos, included performances that may or may not equal the finally releases versions. Being just him, there is a intimacy there that is striking. Great stuff indeed. If you have 1998's 10-disc set you already have this stuff. You probably don't - so you need this!!
OK that's it for now. Check next week for more psych/prog/kraut!

How to Sculpt Using Polymer Clay

Polymer clays are great for casual and professional sculptor alike—you don't need to worry about keeping them moist while you are sculpting, or that it will explode while being baked! They keep a long time, and you can bake them in your own oven! We'll show you a few tips on how to make the most of these clays. Read on!
Small Projects
1Make something fun. You can make some really fantastic sculptures using polymer clay, but if you're just getting started, have some fun with simple shapes and easy projects. That way, you'll get familiar with how the clay feels, how to work it, and how to bake it.
2Make a frog. For example, a simple, smiling frog takes just a few little pieces of clay, and will be a toy might have in your keepsake box years and years from now!
- Take a piece of green clay that will fit in your closed fist. Shape it like a football, flatten it out, and then curl up the ends, like cheeks.
- Roll out a thin strip of red clay, like a little red worm. Wet the bottom of the strip, and press it into place as the mouth.
- Roll two bits of white clay into balls. Flatten them down, and use them for eyeballs.
- Add two smaller dots of blue clay into the center of the eyeballs.
- Bake it in the oven as directed by the manufacturer of the clay. Presto, you have a happy frog!
- Take a piece of green clay that will fit in your closed fist. Shape it like a football, flatten it out, and then curl up the ends, like cheeks.
3Make a bowl.
- Start with a round piece of plain, uncolored clay about three or four inches around—about the size of a Magic 8 Ball.
- Use a wire or clay knife to cut off the top part. Set it aside for later. You should now have a little round sphere with a flat top.
- Using your thumbs, make a dent in the clay, and working around the inside of the bowl and pressing towards the outside, work the clay to hollow out the bowl.
- Keep working around and around, till the bowl is nice and deep, and the sides are about 1/4-inch thick near the top, and about 1/2-inch thick at the bottom.
- Work the top part that you cut off earlier so that it will rest on top of the bowl like a lid.
- Decorate your pot with paint, then bake it in the oven till done.
- Start with a round piece of plain, uncolored clay about three or four inches around—about the size of a Magic 8 Ball.
4Try something more adventurous. Once you're used to working with clay, you can try something a little more artistic or adventurous, like the cat pictured below.
- Roll out one ball of clay about the size of your fist. Flatten it out so that it's about 1/2-inch thick. Use a toothpick to rough it up a little, and give it some texture.
- Roll out another ball of clay, a little smaller, and set it towards the back of the first, flattened lump of clay. This will be the body and butt of the cat.
- Roll a third piece of clay, smaller than the cat butt. Put that in the front—that's the cat head.
- Using smaller pieces of clay, make little ears, legs, and tail. Wet them, press them onto the clay, and smooth into the original parts.
- Use a toothpick to draw little lines for whiskers and mouth, and use a fork to rough up the rest of the body so that it looks like fur.
- Add finishing touches like the fish bones, if you like.
- Bake in the oven, and when done, you have a pet cat you never have to feed!
- Roll out one ball of clay about the size of your fist. Flatten it out so that it's about 1/2-inch thick. Use a toothpick to rough it up a little, and give it some texture.
Big Projects
1Conceptualize and size up your project. You may want to make a few sketches to work out proportions.
2Make a wire skeleton for your sculpture. This will provide support for the clay and allow it to be a bendable, poseable armature.
- Double-twist wire in any weight-bearing limbs. It is also a good idea to leave loops of wire on the ends of weight-bearing limbs. For example, a U shape at the end of a foot will hold weight better than the sharp point of cut wire.
- Try to use as few pieces of wire as possible to keep it sturdy. Major areas to be bulked out, such as the rib cage, may require loops of wire to later fill with tinfoil.
- You will also want to put wire in any thin bits that will be standing on their own, such as long ears. For fingers, you can probably get away with just using tinfoil for support.
3Bulk out with tinfoil. Once you are happy with the proportions of your skeleton, start bulking things out by crinkling tinfoil over the wire.
- When applied in large wrinkled sheets it sticks quite well, and provides a textured surface that the clay can really hold onto.
- Think about mass and musculature- you can use tinfoil both to provide a surface for clay to stick to, and also to keep your project as light as possible by filling bulky areas with tinfoil.
- After this step, your sculpture should be beginning to take shape, but just require more definition.
4Apply an initial coating of polymer clay. Breaking off chunks and working the clay between your fingers until you can press it into about ¼ thick sheets, which you press onto the tinfoil and smooth together.
- Continue until all the surfaces that need to be covered with clay, are. If the clay seems hard, don't worry, it will loosen up with the heat of your hands. If you are having a lot of trouble just start with smaller pieces.
- Feel free to keep it simple at this stage, such as leaving a nub of clay on the face for a nose, or a clump on the arm to remind yourself to add more bicep.
5Refine your sculpture. After the armature is covered with a rudimentary layer of polymer clay, go back into areas that seem to need more detail and refine them.
- Add muscle, remove excess clay, smooth lumps and shape the figure into what you envision.
- Take breaks to look at the sculpture from several angles until it looks correct from all sides.
6Optional: attach to base. Usually in the above steps, it is a good idea to have the sculpture unattached to any base, to permit easy turning in your hands, good anchorage points for smoothing, access those hard-to-reach places, etc.
- You will get to a point in refinement that the pressure of holding it in your hands is squishing detail. At this point it is time to put it down. If it is not a sitting or self-supporting figure you will want to staple it to a wood base. This can be later be sculpted over to make it a setting.
7Finalize your work. Once your sculpture is sitting in its final position, get out your sculpting tools and go detail crazy! Smooth out the skin, make facial features, skin creases, wrinkles, fingernails, scales, hair, fabric folds; all of the wonderful textures that make a sculpture look really impressive.
- Take your time and enjoy yourself; the clay won't dry out.
8Fire up your oven. Once you are happy with your sculpture's shape and detail, preheat your oven to 275° F (135°C).
- Place the sculpture on a baking sheet, and bake for 15-25 minutes. You should take it out when it looks darker in the thinner parts, but before those thinner parts turn dark brown.
- When you first remove it you may notice it is not totally hard. Don't worry—it will set after it has cooled.
9That's it! 20+ hours of work and it is all hardened in 15min.
10After-treatments. There are many wonderful things that you can do with your sculpture after you bake it.
- If you left something out you can sculpt something on and bake it again, or bake it separately and glue it on.
- Paint it using oils or acrylics. For best results, use acrylics applied in many thin washes. You can also glue on hair, feathers, fur, jewels or fabric. Be creative!
Community Q&A
QuestionDo I need a slip for this clay? If so, how do I make it?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYou do not need a slip. You simply take the clay out of the package, condition it in your hands, and sculpt.
QuestionI see sculptors brushing a liquid on their polymer clay work as they go. What is it?The liquid is likely isopropyl alcohol (also known as rubbing alcohol). This partially melts the clay and aids with smoothing its surface. It evaporates quickly and the clay will then return to its original consistency.
QuestionDo I need anything else to make things with polymer clay besides my hands?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYou will most likely need clay tools to help create details on your project, but that's all.
QuestionI want to make a large sculpture, 2' x 2' x 3'. Would polymer clay be too expensive? Could I use polymer only for the outer layer?Polymer clay would likely be too expensive for a solid sculpture that large (also, the baking time would be very long and likely cause cracks on the outside), but it would be suitable for the outer layer (4 to 10 mm thick, depending on the intricacy of and accuracy of your inner layer). Bear in mind that you will need to bake the sculpture in an oven, so you may prefer to make it from smaller sections and bake them separately.
Unanswered Questions
I want to do my sculpture in sections, bake and then continue, how do I do that?
If I want to make a large sculpture, would polymer clay be too expensive?
I am not a beginner at polymer clay sculpting, and have made very tiny, delicate human figures less than 1/4 inch high. The package recommends baking 15 minutes for every 1/4 thickness. What do I do?

- Although the most common type of polymer clay is "Sculpey," which come in a variety of colors and is often used for beads or children's projects, there are also harder polymer clays which retain amazing amounts of detail and provide a base color for painting. "Super Sculpey" is easier to smooth and shape than the firmer "Fimo," comes in a bigger package, and provides a semi-translucent, flesh-like color. These clays are often used by professional model makers in character design for movies, video games, and action figures.
- Notes: Although this tutorial is written in a numbered format, you do not have to complete the steps all at once! The polymer clay will stay workable for months if you store it out of the sun, so feel free to take creative breaks!
- Since you are using an oven, practice your normal oven safety, such as using mitts when taking the tray into and out of the oven
Things You'll Need
- Super Sculpey (amount needed depends on size of project- for anything under 8in one box should be sufficient)
- 14 and 16 gauge copper or steel wire, (copper is more malleable, steel is cheaper)
- Two pairs of needle nose pliers
- A wire cutter
- Tinfoil
- A small wooden shaping tool, (I own 6 but only ever use one!)
- Wood base and staple gun *(optional)
- Cookie baking tray
- Home oven

Today we dressed for Halloween, and spoke of the "Day of the Dead" celebrated in Mexico. We learned that Halloween is a holiday that celebrates the time of the year when the curtain between the worlds of the living and the dead is at its thinnest point, so people have believed that the spirit world will visit with the living. In Mexico, families go to grave cites and plant marigolds and have picnics with special foods (often favorites of their ancestors). In America, we do "spooky things" to acknowledge the spirit world.
We finished our autumn trees today, using a dabbing technique to put autumn colored leaves on our "spooky" trees. A new friend, Rhiannon, joined our Peace Travelers today. Welcome Rhiannon!
Today was also a day of story telling. I retold Jane Yolen's Child of Faerie, Child of Earth out in the woods, under the "umbrella tree" (a large hemlock) on our daily nature walk. This story celebrates the friendship of a human girl (I named her Summer) and a faerie boy (Leaf) that begins the evening and next day of All Hallows Eve. Leaf is up a tree when he greets Summer—he asks if she is nervous about being out in the woods by herself on a night when the curtain between the worlds is thinnest, and the faerie folk are about. Summer replies that she doesn't believe in the faerie folk (her mothers says there's no such thing!), and thus he proves to her they do. They celebrate a night of merriment with the faerie, brownies, sprites, etc., and then Summer invites Leaf to share a day with her in her home. They work all day—feeding the chickens, haying the cows and horses, cleaning the barn—at which time they ask each other to stay in their respective worlds. Each agrees their own world is where they belong, but they form a life long friendship, as they grow and age. The other story I told was "The Faerie's Gift"-–a story that is on the Amidon's CD entitled the same. The story is about a poor woodcutter (who lives with his wife and parents), who assists in saving a small faerie man's life. The faerie man thanks the woodcutter with a wish. This confounds the poor woodcutter whose family members each have different wishes. However, the woodcutter is a clever man and delivers to all of his family members in the end.
We are currently working on the letter "C" for our Peace Travelers Alphabet Book. Whenever possible, please practice the American Sign Language letters with their accompanying sound with your friend. This assists in putting the letters and their meanings into their memories, especially creating a "body memory" with the use of finger letters!
Stories Told based on:
Child of Faerie, Child of Earth by Jane Yolen/Illustrated by Jane Dyer (This is a beautiful book to own by local artists here in the Pioneer Valley!)
The Faerie's Gift by Mary Alica and Peter Amidon on their CD of the same name. (These are local musicians from Brattleboro who are amazingly talented!)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - With earnings season winding down and the employment report out of the way, the U.S. stock market is likely to shift into a lower gear next week.
The earnings season so far has been largely positive with more than half of the companies that have reported beating estimates. But cuts in outlooks from a number of bellwethers, including Intel (INTC.O) and Caterpillar (CAT.N), mainly due to increasing concerns over China's growth, have raised fears about the third and fourth quarters.
"It has sort of become a trend now to go into earnings season with low expectations, so beating those expectations is not a big deal," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer of Solaris Group in Bedford Hills, New York.
"The market is starting to really look at outlook cuts and guidance more than earnings itself."
The market is also likely to trade sideways next week after the Dow and the S&P 500 marked record closing highs for a second day on Friday.
For the year, both the Dow and the S&P 500 are up more than 19 percent.
The S&P 500 index has passed through two century marks this year - 1,600 and 1,700. The last time the broad market index covered more round numbers in a year was in 1998 when it touched 1,000, 1,100 and 1,200, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
Of the 391 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings for the second quarter, 67.8 percent have topped analyst expectations, in line with the average beat over the past four quarters, data from Thomson Reuters showed. About 55 percent have reported revenue above estimates, more than in the past four quarters but below the historical average.
Negative outlooks for the third quarter from S&P companies have outpaced positive outlooks by 3.7 to 1 so far in this earnings season, according to Thomson Reuters data. Last quarter, the ratio was 6.3 to 1, but on average since 1996, the ratio stands at 2.1 to 1.
So far this earnings season, just 75 companies have given guidance and about 50 more companies are expected to give their outlook in the coming weeks. During last quarter's earnings season, 127 S&P companies gave guidance.
The market will be closely watching remarks by U.S. Federal Reserve policymakers next week for more clues on when the U.S. central bank might begin to reduce bond-buying stimulus , despite mixed signals from the jobs market.
The latest jobs report on Friday showed non-farm payrolls rose by 162,000 in July, below expectations, but the unemployment rate fell to 7.4 percent, its lowest since December 2008.
On Tuesday, the president of the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank, Charles Evans, is scheduled to speak at a press breakfast, while Richard Fisher, head of the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, is to deliver a speech on the economy in Portland, Oregon, on Monday.
Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan holds its monetary policy board meeting on Wednesday and Thursday. The BoJ is expected to keep monetary policy on hold as its unprecedented quantitative easing and government stimulus gradually spread through the economy.
Among companies due to report earnings next week, CVS Caremark (CVS.N) posts second-quarter results on Tuesday. McDonald's Corp (MCD.N) is to report July restaurant sales on Thursday. Also on Thursday, Dean Foods Co (DF.N), the top U.S. dairy company, posts quarterly results.
In economic news, weekly jobless claims on Thursday could offer clues about the labor market conditions following Friday's mixed jobs report. Institute for Supply Management (ISM) report on the services sector is due on Monday, and June trade data is due on Tuesday.

1.0 Introduction.
Advancements in technology over the last 100 years have provided mankind with an unappalled material wealth. According to the WorldWatch Institute Report, the world economy has expanded from $4 trillion in 1950 to more than $20 trillion in 1995, and in this same time period world population has more than doubled (WorldWatch Institute, as cited in Valasquez, 1998). But this technological and material prosperity does not come without its costs; there have been terrible consequences on our natural environment. Much of the burden can be placed onto the shoulders of unscrupulous business's operating in the latter half of the 20th century under the 'Classical view' of social responsibility (Shaw, 1998). That is, that their only social responsibility is to maximise profits. Luckily, in the late 1980's and throughout the 1990's the attitudes of businesses towards looking after the environment began to change for the better. The widely used term for this is now know as, 'The Greening of Management".
2.0 Define and Discuss 'The Greening of Management'
In the rapidly changing business world of the 21st century it is now widely accepted that "A primary concern of many businesses now is how to manage their environmental impacts effectively and efficiently" (Berry & Rondinelli, p38). The name for this fairly new style of management is called "Green Management". The Greening of Management is concerned with companies embracing environmental protection as part of their competitive strategies, as well as "the recognition of the close link between an organisation's decisions and activities and its impact on the natural environment" (Robbins, Bergman, Stagg, Coulter, p145). Greening of management has helped business's understand that proper environmental protection requires the prevention or pollution rather than just the control of wastes at the end of the pipeline. (Berry & Rondinelli, 1998).

Intending to describe a concept, an event, or argue a point, term papers are research papers over an academic term written by students. Often due at the end of a semester, term papers are a written original work usually several typed pages in length, discussing a topic in detail.
Writing term papers ideally should comply with the following process: choose your topic, do your research, refine your thesis statement, make your point in the introduction, convince the reader with your body paragraphs, conclude with strength, don't be such a slob.
Choose your topic
Try to make it as creative as possible for the reader, if you're given the chance to choose your own, take full advantage of this. If the topic has already been chosen for you, start exploring solitary angles that can set your content and information apart from the more perceptible approaches many others will probably take.
Do your research
It's absurd to bombard into writing before you've done the research. You need to understand the framework of the topic and the prevalent thinking, as well as finding out what subsequent research is advised necessary in the area.
Refine your thesis statement
After you've completed the research, get back over the chosen topic. At this point, it's vital to pinpoint the single, strong concept you'll be discussing, your contention that you believe you can defend throughout the paper and that makes it clear to a reader what they're about to learn about and be given a sound consequence on.
Make your point in the introduction
Avoid turning it into a hurdle as the introductory paragraph is challenging. Of all the term paper, this is the part often apparently to be rewritten as you continue working through the paper and experience changes of flow, direction and outcome.
Persuade the reader with your body paragraphs
Make sure each paragraph supports your altercation in a new way. Not sure your body's up to task? Try to confine the first sentence of each paragraph; together, they should read like a list of averment that proves your thesis.
Conclude with strength
While concluding consider these four steps:
1. Rephrase your thesis statement.
2. One exceptional detail that is usually found in your last paragraph.
3. Wrap it up.
4. Culmination- where you give the reader something left to think about.
Don't be such a slob
Proofread your term paper, run your spell-check.

The flash theory is nonsense as the flash occurs before he (read: the human in the monkey suit) would have time to react. And the delay flash theory wouldn't hold up as this dude has some serious red eye (unless this is some kind of hippie big foot; he does live out in the wilderness alone afterall).
The some idiot in it's territory theory makes more sense, however, if you look at the picture, this monkey suit is absolutely, perfectly positioned. Look, the featureless back is in full view. The face--most important for details and determining authenticity--is just behind that bush/plant. But wait! Luckily, the eyes are viewable right through those branches to give it that spooky feel. What are the chances of that?
Overall, it is realistic, undoctored looking picture IMO. However, when making extraordinary claims, the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim, not with the people who are trying to be influenced. So, it boils down to a seemingly good picture that is unverifiable one way or the other.
Now talk amongst yourselves.

If he couldnt take more photos, I'm surprised he isnt dead. An ape that size wouldnt be happy if someone entered its territory...

Posts Tagged 'chinese new year'
According to the Chinese zodiac, it is now officially the Year of the Dragon. What can we expect in the future as we transition from the Rabbit? Astrologers predict that the next year will hold good luck, as the dragon is the most auspicious and powerful of the signs, and an increase in the fertility rate. Those born in this year are said to be intelligent, energetic, extroverted, often conceited, and quick to lose their temper when provoked.
Although considered to bring good fortune, some believe that 2012 will hold more international conflict, citing the relationships between earth and water elements. The powerful yang of water might auger a natural disaster or the human struggles toward political equality. The water sign also represents charity and generosity, which hopefully could signal for a positive transformation of economic and societal institutions.
While there will be fighting and strife in the days ahead, the elements are not as much in opposition as in the past several years. From nature, we can forecast possible viral epidemics, and powerful disasters such as earthquakes and floods. Sadly, experts say that there are fewer angels of mercy to aid in what could be higher death tolls than normal. Fortunately, there should be an improvement in environmental protections and recovery from past human-made catastrophes like oil spills and and nuclear meltdowns.
Want to celebrate the Year of the Dragon here on the coast?
-Head to San Francisco, where 6,000 participants, 22 floats, marching bands, lion dancers, and an arsenal of firecrackers will dazzle your senses and help usher in good fortune and scare away the negative spirits of the past. The parade is held on February 11, and is one of the largest celebrations held outside of Asia. There is also a city-wide treasure hunt that takes seekers on a romp through San Francisco's neighborhoods and rewards them with fun, prizes, and a healthy workout.
-San Luis Obispo locals can watch the Cal Poly Lion Dance Team perform around the county this month. Witness a cultural tradition and see the amazing strength and acrobatic skill required to bring these creatures to life! If cavorting lions are not enough to impress you, on January 25 the Peking Acrobats challenge gravity at the Clark Performing Arts Center in Arroyo Grande. Tickets range from $45-55.
-Cal Poly will be hosting a dinner on January 28, where Wushu Taichi masters Liu Yu and Norm Petredean accompanied by students will give a demonstration. This graceful martial art will inspire serenity, strength, and promote a healthy flow of qi that will help balance and prepare you for the upcoming year.
Break out the red envelopes, make some mooncakes, and have a great Year of the Dragon!
Welcome, one and all! Sit back, relax, grab a beer from the fridge.
Ahhhhh, now that's more like it. I may be biased, being of the hare persuasion, but I'm more than a hair excited about finally settling back into my zodiac year. All of you other animals on the farm should be too.
I think we all experienced the wrath of the tiger last year. This year however, it's time to party with the bunnies. You can expect to get a taste of the high life that we prefer to hop around in. Good fortune should be at an all time high, and hostility at an all time low. We bunnies are too busy enjoying good foods, wines, and company to meddle with death and destruction. After all, it's what we fear most. Self preservation is amongst our specialties (along with persuasion, diplomacy, charm, and wit, of course···and perhaps arrogance.)
Don't worry about the repercussions. Next year, you can have your rigid, rule loving way, you roosters. The fuzz will be out of our fur. And should they pester us this year, we'll have plenty of easily acquired dough to pay our fines. It's part-ty-time!
Don't burn down the house, though, you dragons. We could easily get lazy and unproductive this year. That would just be too much of a shame. And besides, next year is your turn. Calm your jets.
According to Chinese mythology, there is a jade rabbit that lives in a beautiful jade castle on the moon, so as to keep her company. That's because we make such excellent company. After all, we love to give advice and help out our friends, provided it suits us.
The year of the rabbit begins tonight, my friends. Come dance with us. Keep it going on into Friday, and enjoy some amazing wine and fun tunes at Bambu Batu for our monthly Art After Dark craft bazaar. Here's to hare, and keep on' hoppin' on.
Song of the day

Looking for a bit of luck in 2018 ? (I think it's safe to say, we'll need it.) From greens to beans, there are lots of foods that are said to bring good fortune (and even wealth) to the eater. We dip into our Real Food Right Now and How to Cook It archives to bring you the luckiest and most delicious food to eat in the year to come.
(Click through to our Real Food Right Now posts to learn all about the culture and history of each food, how to cook them and lots of recipes!)
Happy New Year!
1. Beans
Beans are considered good luck because they are said to resemble coins, and thus represent good fortune and abundance. In the southern US, black eyed peas are turned into Hoppin' John, a dish made with pork (another symbol of prosperity) and rice (even more luck) and traditionally served on New Year's Day. (Robert Moss, writing for Serious Eats, has a fantastic history of Hoppin' John if you want a deeper dive).
2. Grapes
In Spain, Portugal and Mexico, New Year's Eve revelers eat 12 grapes as the clock strikes midnight - each grape representing the 12 months ahead. Got a sour grape? That doesn't bode well for one of those 12 months. All sweet? It's smooth sailing ahead.
3. Rice
In many cultures, rice and other grains (like barley) represent abundance and good fortune. Sticky rice is said to make good fortune "stick" in the new year, and rice combined with legumes (like black eyed peas) is supposed to be especially lucky (and also supplies all of the amino acids you need, to boot).
4. Lentils
Where my husband's mother comes from, in Modena, Italy, a traditional New Year's Eve food includes cotechino, a sausage made from the pig's trotter, and lentils. The lentilsrepresent coins, which represent - you guessed it - abundance. (When the sausage is sliced into disks, as it traditionally is, it also looks like giant coins.) Sara Bir, writing for Serious Eats, points out that the visual stretch between lentils and coins isn't so difficult if you picture what Roman coins look like - irregular and with a brown-ish patina.
5. Pomegranates
Pomegranates have a rich history in many cultures, their many seeds representing prosperity and fertility. In Greece, a common New Year's tradition is to throw a pomegranate to the ground: the more they break apart, the more abundance your family is said to have in the new year.
6. Greens
From mustard greens to Swiss chard to collards to kale, greens have long been associated with good fortune, at least in the US, because the flat leaves are said to resemble money. In older European traditions, another green, cabbage, was turned into saurkraut, which was usually ready around the new year and eaten for good luck.

1 EMPLOYER S GUIDE TO WORKERS COMPENSATION State of New Hampshire Department of Labor State Office Park South 95 Pleasant Street Concord, New Hampshire (603)
2 INTRODUCTION This booklet has been prepared in an effort to assist employers in handling the reporting of employee s on the job injuries or occupational illnesses. Just as your worker has relied upon you for his/her regular paycheck, the injured worker also relies upon your prompt handling of his/her workers compensation claim so that suitable medical care is not delayed and family income is not interrupted. Therefore, once an injury has occurred, the employer should do everything possible to assure that the provisions of the New Hampshire Workers Compensation law are carried out. Injuries treated properly and promptly result in the continuation of a good employer-employee relationship and the timely return to work of an experienced employee. Familiarity with the guidelines presented in this booklet will assist you in meeting your responsibilities as an employer under RSA 281-A, the New Hampshire Workers Compensation Law. If you have questions about your rights or responsibilities under this law, please contact our staff at the Department of Labor for assistance. The following information is based upon the provisions of the New Hampshire Workers Compensation Law, RSA 281-A, and the New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rules, Chapter Lab 300 and 500. What is Workers Compensation? Workers Compensation is an insurance program that pays medical and disability benefits for work-related injuries and diseases. If injured on the job, an employee s medical treatment costs will be paid by the policy; if disabled following an on the job injury, the employee will also receive weekly income through the policy until able to return to work. All employers must obtain coverage by purchasing an insurance policy through the insurance agent or company of their choice, unless they become licensed to self-insure by the Commissioner of Labor. Workers compensation insurance programs protect both employees and employers. Each covered employee has the right to benefits if injured on the job. In return, the employee forfeits the right to sue the employer for the job related injury. Purchasing Workers Compensation Coverage The primary responsibility for obtaining workers compensation insurance coverage rests upon employers who must apply for and obtain coverage prior to the hiring of any employee. Insurance agencies and carriers, however, share in this coverage responsibility, beginning with their receipt of an application for coverage. If an agency or carrier refuses to provide coverage on a voluntary basis, they must advise the employer about the availability of coverage under the Assigned Risk Plan of the National Council of Compensation Insurance and must also provide the necessary application form. After coverage is in effect, the employer will receive from the insurance carrier a NOTICE OF COMPLIANCE, Form No. WCP-1, which needs to be posted in a conspicuous spot in the place of business. This poster contains basic information regarding the rights and responsibilities of both employer and employees, as well as the name of the insurance carrier underwriting the workers compensation coverage. The only business exempt from the requirement to purchase workers compensation coverage are sole proprietorships (selfemployed persons) and corporations which have only three corporate officers and no employees other than these three officers. There is often confusion about the respective responsibilities of employers and subcontractors in providing workers compensation coverage for workers. If you utilize the services of subcontractors in your business, be certain that any subcontractors you use have arranged to provide required workers compensation coverage for their employees. Otherwise, you may be held liable to the compensation of any injuries that occur to the sub-contractor s employees.
3 What is the Insurance Company s Responsibility to the Employer? It is the insurance company s responsibility to provide an employer who has purchased insurance coverage with a poster (Notice of Compliance) and a supply of the forms that will be needed to report and process a claim. These forms include the following: 1) Notice of Accidental Injury or Occupational Disease (Form No. 8aWCA). This form is used by an employee to provide the employer with written notice that s/he has sustained an on the job injury or believes that s/h has developed an occupational illness. This form does not necessarily need to be completed before the Employer s First Report of Injury or Occupational Disease (see below) is filed; an employee s verbal notification to his/her employer that an injury has occurred is sufficient initially. 2) Employer s First Report of Injury or Occupational Disease (Form No. 8-WC). This form is to be completed by the employer within five calendar days (not working days) of learning of an employee s work-related injury or illness and is used to notify the Department of Labor and the insurance company that an employee injury has been reported. The employee s report may be either verbal or written. If the employer considers the claim to be questionable, the employer must still file the report promptly, but may wish to outline his concerns about the legitimacy of the claim in a note attached to the insurance company s copy of this report. (See below for a further discussion of this matter.) 3) Employer s Supplemental Report of Injury (Form No. 13 WCA). The employer uses this form to report to the Labor Department and the insurance carrier that an employee s occupational illness or injury has resulted in lost time from work (disability) of four or more days. It is also used when an employee who was disabled by a work-related injury or illness returns to work. It should be used to clarify lost time if the First Report of Injury is not clear. 4) Wage Schedule (Form No. 76 WCA). In the event that an employee becomes disabled from a work-related injury or illness, this form will need to be completed and both copies mailed to the insurance carrier so that the injured employee s workers compensation rate can be properly calculated. Wage information from the 26 weeks prior to the injury, or the rate of hire for employees who have not worked a full 26 weeks, should be used to complete this form. An employee who is employed by two or more employers in the State of New Hampshire at the time of injury may be subject to the combined earnings provision of the statute. If one of your employees was hurt while working at their other employers, s/he may request that you complete a wage schedule for the calculation of their wages by the carrier covering the other employer and paying workers compensation benefits. 5) Supplemental Wage Schedule (Form No. 76 WCA 1). If requested by the insurance carrier, this form should be completed by the employer and signed by the employee. This form is necessary for the calculating of after tax earnings. Please be certain to keep a supply of these forms on hand at all times so that they are readily available when you need them. Forms are available through your insurance carrier; your supply should also be renewed any time that you change insurance carriers. (A complete explanation of when and how to file each form follows in the next section, What to do When An Employee Is Injured.) Additionally, the insurer is also responsible for keeping its insured employers informed of the address of the nearest insurance claims office. Upon receipt of employers reports, the insurer must also review each claim promptly and critically to determine, as soon as possible after the onset of the disability, if the reported claim is compensable. What To Do When An Employee Is Injured It is important that, as an employer, you inform your employees about their rights and responsibilities under the New Hampshire workers compensation law. We suggest that you clearly identify for your employees the individual(s) within your company to whom you want any on-the-job injuries to be reported; this will help avoid confusion when an injury occurs. *First Aid Log First Aid is defined as any one time treatment that generated a bill less than $ and results in no lost time. These first aid only injuries must be reported to the Labor Department on the Employer s First Report of Occupational Injury or Disease (Form 8WC). If you do not send these types of reports to the insurance carrier then it must be mailed to the Department of Labor. If the employer contests the first aid only injury, it must be reported to both the Labor Department and the insurance carrier.
4 *Employer s First Report of Injury or Occupational Disease (Form No 8WC). If an injury requires treatment beyond common first aid (that is, if any medical cost of over $ or disability is involved), the employer or their insurance carrier must send the Employer s First Report of Injury (Form No. 8WC) to the Department of Labor, which must be filed electronically by the insurance carrier or their agent, within five calendar days of the employee s notice to the employer that an incident has occurred. Occasionally, an injury that requires only common first aid treatment at the time of injury will later require more extensive medical attention. In these cases, the injury becomes reportable at the time that the employer learns of the additional medical treatment. In such cases, complete the employer s First Report of Injury, being certain to note the date on which you, as the employer, become aware that additional medical attention was sought and notify the Labor Department that this is no long a first aid injury. Then, send the Employer s First Report of Injury (Form No. 8WC), which must be filed electronically by the insurance carrier or their agent, to the Labor Department and to the insurance company within the five calendar day limit. *Notice of Accidental Injury or Illness (Form No. 8aWCA) The employer must, additionally, have the employee fill out Form No. 8aWCA, the Notice of Accidental Injury or Illness, at the earliest opportunity. It is, of course, not always practical to have the employee fill out this form immediately; but at the earliest reasonable time, the employee should be provided with a form to complete for his/her and the employer s records. Absence of this written notice of an injury or illness does not excuse the employer from reporting the injury within the prescribed time frame. The employer copies of these two forms, No. 8 WC and No. 8aWCA, are to be kept on file by the employer for five years from the date of injury. *Employer s Supplemental Report of Injury (Form No. 13WCA) If an employee s work-related injury or illness results in disability of four or more calendar days, the employer needs to notify the Labor Department and insurance carrier of this disability by filing Form No. 13 WCA, the Employer s Supplemental Report of Injury. When mailing the canary/yellow copy of this supplemental report to the insurance carrier, the employer needs to attach Form No. 76 WCA, the Wage Schedule (see below). *Wage Schedule (Form No. 76WCA) Both copies of the Wage Schedule must be sent to the insurance carrier who will, in turn, send one copy on to the Department of Labor along with a memorandum noting what amount of compensation has been paid and the date on which it was paid. The information contained in a completed wage schedule is used to calculate the average weekly wage of the employee; this figure will, in turn be used to compute the rate of the injured workers compensation benefits. The form asks the employer to provide wage information based upon gross wages, including bonuses for the periods to which such payments apply. When applicable, also include the reasonable value of board, rent, housing, lodging, fuel or other similar advantages that you furnish to your employee as part of the contract of hire. The intent of this is to generate a representative listing of the employee s wages based upon earnings during the 26 consecutive weeks preceding the injury. Sometimes, this method of calculating wages does not yield an accurate picture of an employee s earnings. For example, if your employee usually worked eight hours of overtime each week, but six weeks prior to his/her injury all overtime was cut; in such a case, the employee s wages schedule would show lower weekly wages than s/he usually earned. Another example might be a construction worker injured one month after returning to work from winter lay off; this worker s wage schedule would not provide information indicative of his/her usual earnings since he had not worked for the full 26 week period. In these unusual cases, you may go back 52 consecutive weeks prior to the date of injury and use wages earned during that entire period of time, as long as the difference in the resulting average weekly wage figure is to the advantage of the employee.
5 *Questionable Claims The employer s filing of these reports shall in no way prejudice the employer s rights to contest the compensability of the claim at a later date. Please remember, the insurance carrier has a responsibility to the employer to investigate each claim thoroughly and promptly to determine whether or not the claim is legitimately compensable. If you, as the employer, believe that a claim is questionable, do not delay in filing the required reports; simply fill out the Employer s First Report of Injury as completely as you can and mail it to the Department and the insurance carrier within the required time limit. Attach a note to your carrier s copy of the report, alerting them to your concerns about the claim. The carrier will carry on from there. *Temporary Alternative Duty and Reinstatement of Employees Sustaining Compensable Injuries Employers are responsible for providing alternative duty for employees injured on the job. Modified work shall be established in accordance with the attending health care provider s form, as completed with each visit. Employees may be entitled to reinstatement to their regular job when released to full work capacity (in accordance with their regular job) within 18 months of their work related injury or illness. *Job Modification Reimbursement There are occasions when an employee who has filed a First Report may need to have his work station ergonomically adjusted. As an employer, you can request reimbursement for up to 50% of the costs incurred for the job modification for this employee. This process requires the prior approval of a plan for modification by the Department. For an application and further information, please contact the Vocational Rehabilitation staff at the Department of Labor. *Occupational Safety and Health Workers Compensation reform legislation adopted in 1994 created the Safety Section with the Department to educate and assist employers in workplace safety and health. This law was established to create a more cooperative effort between management and labor in the evaluation and resolution of safety and health concerns in the workplace. RSA 281-A:64 requires the formulation of Joint Loss Management Committees, evaluation and resolution of safety concerns and Written Safety Programs. Priority inspections will be determined by first visiting those employers who have not submitted the required summary of their written safety program, and secondly, those companies who have a high experience modification as determined by National Council of Compensation Insurance (NCCI ). Administrative Rules for Safety Inspections in conjunction with this law have been promulgated by a committee representing both public and private employers, as well as labor organizations, state and local government. The rules committee is utilizing injury data from both the public and private sections over the last 3 years to focus their rulemaking on prevention of those injuries and illnesses occurring most frequently. Employers with 15 or more employees are required to form a joint loss management committee (JLMC) consisting of equal membership from both labor and management staff. Employees choose their own representatives. Committees are to meet at least quarterly and maintain minutes of all meetings. Those employers with 15 or more employees in addition to establishing their joint loss management committee, are required to submit a safety program only once with the Department of Labor. After a written safety summary form has been filed, the safety program shall be reviewed and updated by the employer at least every 2 years. The program must be maintained at the place of business to be in compliance with the workers compensation law.

Beijing rocker threatens to blow up govt buildings, jailed
For one of China's most well-known woman rockers, Wu Hongfei, lead singer of rock band Happy Avenue, the road ahead could prove to be rocky indeed. Sutirtho Patranobis reports.world Updated: Jul 30, 2013 02:15 IST
For one of China's most well-known woman rockers, Wu Hongfei, lead singer of rock band Happy Avenue, the road ahead could prove to be rocky indeed.
Wu, famous as outspoken singer and a candid critic of the government, was arrested last week after she threatened to blow up government buildings on her Twitter-like local micro blogging site Sina Weibo.
She picked specific targets: a residential committee in Beijing and the Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, an agency responsible for urban housing management.
Wu did not give any reason for her outburst, which came a day after a wheel-chair bound man blew up homemade explosives inside Beijing Capital International Airport.
Coming as it was a day after the airport incident with security alert in Beijing at its peak, the blog post wasn't music at all to the ears of the police.
Wu – an author and magazine journalist - was arrested for "fabricating fake terrorism information", a crime for which she could be dispatched to a prison for five years.
On the same day, state-run China Daily reported that police in Beijing also detained two other men, both for allegedly threatening to set off bombs in public places in Beijing.
"Huang Ming, vice-minister of public security, pledged to 'severely punish' those who threaten to start fires, set off bombs or make hoax terrorist threats," the report said.
It added that Central China Television, the state broadcaster, found in an opinion poll of 24,600 Sina Weibo users that more than 81% believe Wu's remarks do not constitute a crime, but they were inappropriate.
Li Jinxing, one of Wu's lawyers, told People's Daily that he will make a not-guilty plea on behalf of his client.
"I think this case is of great significance, and it will become a landmark lawsuit in drawing a line between the freedom of speech online and committing a crime," he said.
Jia Yan, a prosecutor in Tianjin, said it is inappropriate to post threatening statements after such a series of extreme acts and the singer should be educated or even punished.
"But criminal detention might be too serious. Administrative detention will be enough," he said.
