Ian MacKaye: Un-Punk'd
Live from our nation's capital, it's NPR and WNYC's hour of trivia, puzzles, and word games: ASK ME ANOTHER. I'm your host Ophira Eisenberg and joining me is the creative force behind Minor Threat, Fugazi, and The Evens, Ian MacKaye. And joining him in the puzzle ring is NPR music editor and co-host of NPR's pop culture happy hour podcast, the rock critic of our dreams, Stephen Thompson.
EISENBERG: Welcome back, Ian. Welcome, Stephen, to ASK ME ANOTHER. Now, this is not a random pairing, having the two of you up here. You go way back, as it turns out, through a connection through your mother, Ian?
IAN MACKAYE: Yeah. Well, Stephen used to work for The Onion. He was AV editor at The Onion which was, well, he's from Madison, Wisconsin, wasn't it?
STEPHEN THOMPSON: Yeah, Madison, Wisconsin.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Wahoo!
MACKAYE: Yeah. And so it was a very funny...
THOMPSON: Somebody here is either from Madison, Wisconsin or knows where it is.
MACKAYE: Yes.
EISENBERG: Excitement all around.
MACKAYE: Yes. But anyway, he was an editor there and interviewed me. And I guess at some point you did the book. My interview appeared in the book. I asked for a copy for my mom and I guess she wrote you a letter, didn't she?
THOMPSON: She did. I got this letter out of the blue from Ginger MacKaye and which I'm like, oh, you know, that's a vaguely familiar name. And flip it over and it's this absolutely lovely thank you letter for this book. And so I just - every time The Onion put out a book I would send a copy to Ian's mom.
THOMPSON: Which is - it's weird. I actually don't particularly care for Ian.
MACKAYE: And I can say the same about you.
THOMPSON: Yeah.
EISENBERG: Now, I'm going to ask you this, Ian. What is punk? Does it still exist today?
MACKAYE: Since I think of punk as the free space, which means a place where new ideas can be presented without being dictated by profit motives, punk will never die. That's the thing about punk.
MACKAYE: So it may not be called punk but, you know, I think that in the history of music, actually, all cultures, all different forms of expression, whether you're talking about, you know, jazz, blues, rock n' roll, hip hop, folk, all these things, they're all punk in their own way in their beginnings. It's only when they become commercialized and co-opted that they lose that kind of decisive, like, wow, something is really occurring here.
So it may not be called punk but it will always exist. Punk won. That's what I can say.
MACKAYE: And in fact, I would even say this show in a way - like, there's a certain component to the show that really comes straight out of this idea of approaching presentation in a really alternative way that keeps parlaying over and over and over.
EISENBERG: Trust me, this show is the biggest risk NPR has ever taken.
EISENBERG: All right. So I have to ask you: Are you both ready to take an ASK ME ANOTHER challenge?
THOMPSON: Sure.
MACKAYE: Yes.
EISENBERG: All right. Jonathan Coulton, I understand you have brushed up on your punk repertoire?
JONATHAN COULTON: I did. Yes. But honestly, as a singer, I'm much more of a sensitive Dan Fogelberg type. What's going to happen is you are going to have to identify the punk and punk influenced songs that I will be playing. But they may not sound the way you're used to hearing them. After each clue Ophira will ask for a follow-up trivia question that may or may not have anything to do with the song.
EISENBERG: Who knows what it will be?
COULTON: And you guys have agreed to play as a team. If you guys get enough right, then Marilyn Stark from Herndon, Virginia will win a special ASK ME ANOTHER prize. And Marilyn is a big fan of yours, Ian, and also coincidentally, the mother of one of our contestants, Anne Holsinger.
MACKAYE: If we foul this up, if we don't do this for her...
EISENBERG: Yeah.
MACKAYE: I'll double it.
MACKAYE: Two tote bags.
COULTON: All right.
COULTON: If you would, name the song.
COULTON: (singing) I am an empty Christ. I am an anarchist. Don't know what I want but I know how to get it. I want to destroy the...
THOMPSON: Do we jump in on this or what?
COULTON: Kind of harsh on my mellow there, you know.
COULTON: (singing) Because I want to be anarchy.
THOMPSON: You know, I think you probably know this, Ian, but it's "Anarchy in the U.K."
COULTON: That is correct. Yes.
THOMPSON: Thank you, Ian, for letting me take the really easy one.
MACKAYE: Sure.
EISENBERG: Here's your follow-up trivia question. Speaking of the anti-Christ, you just might be the anti-Christ if you have a 666 birthmark on your skull like a creepy boy named Damien in what 1976...
THOMPSON: "The Omen."
EISENBERG: ...horror film. That is correct.
COULTON: (singing) How you get rude and reckless. Don't you be so crude and feckless. You've been drinking brew for breakfast. The title goes here.
MACKAYE: Is that a real song?
EISENBERG: Yeah.
MACKAYE: That seems like a Stephen one for me, so.
THOMPSON: Oh, come on. The thing is, I don't know anything or - and I am not good at anything. So I'm not entirely sure that I'm the best helper with this one. We might need to consult the audience.
COULTON: Anybody in the audience know the answer?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: "Rudy Can't Fail."
COULTON: "Rudy Can't Fail." That's right.
EISENBERG: Let's see how you do with your follow-up question.
MACKAYE: Oh, OK.
EISENBERG: Surprisingly, what Rudy did fail to win the 2008 Republican presidential primary...
EISENBERG: ...in Florida and thus ended his presidential run the next day? Sore loser.
MACKAYE: Giuliani.
EISENBERG: Yes. You are correct.
COULTON: All right. We're looking for the song title here.
COULTON: (singing) We've got nothing better to do but watch TV and have a couple of brews. All our friends are going to hang out here tonight. We're going to pass out on the couch, all right, tonight.
MACKAYE: Could you do the ending of that again? That was so nice.
MACKAYE: And just make your mouth go sideways again.
COULTON: (singing) Tonight.
MACKAYE: That's good. "TV Party."
COULTON: "TV Party" is right.
EISENBERG: That song is by Black Flagg. Black Flagg is also the name of an insecticide brand that's been around since 1833. One of their most famous products is what insect trap where bugs check in but they don't check out?
MACKAYE: I know.
THOMPSON: The roach motel?
MACKAYE: Yeah.
EISENBERG: Exactly.
MACKAYE: Apropos of that...
EISENBERG: Yeah.
MACKAYE: ...there was a band from Florida called Roach Motel.
EISENBERG: Oh, yeah?
MACKAYE: They were ladies, a punk band. Yeah. So it was a theme.
COULTON: Of dead bugs.
EISENBERG: We're covering all things that kill bugs.
COULTON: Yes.
COULTON: (singing) Bite my lip and close my eyes, take me away to paradise. I'm so damn bored I'm going blind. It smells like spearmint. I've got no motivation. Where is my motivation? No time for the motivation? Smoking my inspiration.
THOMPSON: Well, it's a Green Day.
COULTON: Mm-hmm.
THOMPSON: Is that "Basket Case"? What's the...
COULTON: No, it's the other one.
THOMPSON: I am terrible with titles.
THOMPSON: I'm so bad with titles. And they don't say, like, basket case, oh, basket case. So it's too hard.
COULTON: This actually, I should've said at the beginning please name the band for this one.
THOMPSON: The band is Green Day.
COULTON: That's right!
EISENBERG: The song is "Longview."
THOMPSON: Oh!
EISENBERG: Yes. Which was Green Day's first hit single. What does the title "Longview" refer to?
THOMPSON: I have no clue.
MACKAYE: I also have no clue.
EISENBERG: Anyone out there? Everyone's wrong. Longview, Washington where the song was first performed.
MACKAYE: Oh.
EISENBERG: In front of an audience.
THOMPSON: How do you know that?
EISENBERG: We have a script.
COULTON: All right. We're just looking for the band on this one.
COULTON: (singing) Band in D.C. with a thousand more places to go. Going to swim the Atlantic because that's the only place I can go. You, you can't hurt me. Why? I'm banned, banned in D.C.
MACKAYE: Bad Brains.
COULTON: Bad Brains.
EISENBERG: Yeah.
COULTON: That's right.
EISENBERG: Here's your follow-up question. What five letter word refers to the use of animal brains and other organs as food? And it's a homonym for an adjective that might describe how brains taste.
THOMPSON: Sweet.
THOMPSON: Like sweetbreads.
EISENBERG: Oh. I know what you're talking about. Sweet brains.
THOMPSON: Sweetbread.
EISENBERG: Yes, exactly. Sweetbreads. Sweet - no. That is not the word. There's another word we were looking for, however that might be worth...
MACKAYE: I keep thinking spongeform.
EISENBERG: Possible.
MACKAYE: Give it to me.
EISENBERG: It's offal.
MACKAYE: Oh. O...
THOMPSON: L. Yeah.
EISENBERG: Awful. Which was also my nickname in high school.
COULTON: (singing) Hey ho, let's go. Hey ho, let's go. Their forming in a straight line. Go through a tight wind. The kids are losing their minds.
MACKAYE: That's so engrained. I know the band, obviously. That would be - I would say it's (whispers) Blitzkrieg Bop.
COULTON: That's right. You got it.
EISENBERG: The Ramones got their name from what rock star who used to check into hotels using the pseudonym Paul Ramone?
MACKAYE: Paul McCartney.
EISENBERG: That is correct.
EISENBERG: That is our quiz. Congratulations.
EISENBERG: Ian. Congratulations, Stephen.
THOMPSON: Thank you.
EISENBERG: Marilyn Stark is going to receive a special ASK ME ANOTHER prize and let me tell you what that is. It's a ASK ME ANOTHER Rubik's cube. And we have one for you guys as well.
MACKAYE: Oh, great.
EISENBERG: Yes. One more round of applause for NPR's Stephen Thompson and Ian MacKaye.
COULTON: (singing) Would you take the sky away? High above the busy little one-way. My stupid gloves and hatted man, I lie awake wondering if I'll sleep. Wondering if we'll meet out on the street. Would you take the sky away? It don't move at all like a subway. It's got bums when it's cold like any other place. It's warm up inside. Sitting down and waiting for a ride. Beneath the skyway.
EISENBERG: Jonathan Coulton.

One of this summer's blockbuster attempts from Sierra and Radical Entertainment won't show its face until next year, as GameSpot reports Prototype has been delayed until some time in 2009. Why? According to Sierra reps, "we need more time to deliver the game the team initially set out to create."
Let's hope that the version of Prototype they initially set out to create actually includes the co-op multiplayer portion that was recently axed. We won't hold our breath on that one, as Radical is probably taking the extra six months to perfect hoodie physics or make the explosions more explosion-y.

In which I will try to present you a Belgian metal band every week.
Dyscordia is the first band I'd like to talk about. Having stumbled upon them at Frostrock a couple years back where they were the opening act, they were thé band that convinced me to return the next year, and again they did not disappoint. A band forged from the remains of several bands from West-Flanders, it's very difficult if not impossible to categorize their style as of yet. The vocals and guitars may contain

Joining a Gym? Ask Questions First
Losing weight is one of the most common resolutions after enjoying tasty holiday treats. If you're pledging to lose pounds in the new year by joining a gym, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) recommends asking some questions before signing on the dotted line.
Each January, millions of consumers crowd into gyms armed with willpower and personal goals looking towards a healthier, active lifestyle. While it's exciting to gear up towards a goal, consumers should treat this like any major purchases. BBB received over 7,400 complaints about health clubs across North America last year.
Five questions to ask the gym:
What are the terms of any introductory offers? Gyms often use special introductory offers to lure in new members. Make sure you understand the terms and what price the service will be once the introductory period is over.
Will my membership renew automatically? Many times people join a gym, but don't consider what happens when the original contract runs out. Some gym contracts renew automatically unless they are canceled.
How can I get out of my contract? Getting out of any contract isn't always as easy as getting into one. Make sure you understand what steps are necessary to cancel your contract.
What happens if I move? Gyms have any number of policies for what happens if you move. It might depend on how far away you're moving and if there are affiliate gyms you could access.
What happens if they go out of business? Ask the gym to explain what will happen to your money if they go out of business.
Five questions to ask yourself:
What are my fitness goals? Determining your fitness goals in advance will help you select the most appropriate facility for your needs. If you have a serious medical condition, consult a medical professional when setting your fitness goals.
Is this location convenient? If the gym is across town, you'll be less likely to work out. Choose a fitness club that is convenient for you from work and home.
Can I really afford this? Monthly gym fees add up and after any introductory periods are over, the price could jump higher than your budget can handle. Do the math before you join and make sure you can afford the gym membership.
Am I feeling pressured to join? Do not give in to high-pressure sales tactics to join right away. A reputable gym will give you enough time to read the contract thoroughly, tour the facility, and make an informed decision.
Did I get everything in writing? Read the contract carefully and make sure that all verbal promises made by the sales person are in writing. What matters is the document you sign, not what you heard.
"Remember, those who ask the right questions and read the fine print are more likely to be satisfied both inside and outside the workout room," said Mechele Agbayani Mills, BBB.

Usually when people are ill they worry about surviving. "Am I going to make it through surgery without becoming a statistic?"
"Is this cancer beatable?"
"Is my heart going to keep pumping after a heart attack?"
There it is, the big stuff in life, scaring us as we experience it, read about it, or observe someone we love but cannot really help in their time of suffering. We are made of flesh, blood, bones, fear and courage. Life changes from day to day and in many ways, it's out to get us. We truly have to live defensively to get the most out of our lives. Those of us who live with chronic pain and chronic disease know the details of this experience called "living." It doesn't come to us in spurts, time outs or sick leave. We live the spurt. We are always in time out and sick leave for some of us has been our way of life for years.
Basically we trudge on each day and look for the "big" answers, like the perfect doctor, the miraculous cure, etc. until one day we make a discovery. Slowly our minds and hearts wrap around the fact that all of life hinges on the little things, and the small answers. Life moves forward one day at a time; there is no other way. Basically, I have reached the conclusion life with chronic pain is a battle and a two-fold one at that. Grief and survival are our greatest challenges on our daily trek.
GRIEF: One of my favorite writers is the late theologian and professor C.S.Lewis. He had a brilliant mind but not only taught at Oxford and Cambridge and wrote beautiful, logical treatises on religion but also became well-known for his children's books about the magical kingdom of Narnia. His philosophy and analysis on Christianity was that of a converted atheist and shows a mind capable of brilliant deductive reasoning on the subject. He has much to say on the subject of suffering and grief. Much of his writing about grief is to be found in his book A GRIEF OBSERVED. He was struggling with the death of his dear wife, Joy, and openly writes of his feelings, his grief and his loss. Please let me share with you a few of his observations on this subject because each of us knows the grieving process all too well as we grieve not just for those we have lost but for our former, healthier selves. We share grief for the freedom of movement we once knew, occupations we have lost, friendships brought to an end by the changes within us. We have changed and from our viewpoint, others have also changed. Each day we are forced to deal with the changes to our bodies, our minds and our reactions to it all.
C.S. Lewis wrote, 'Getting over it so soon?' But the words are ambiguous. To say the patient is getting over it after an operation for appendicitis is one thing; after he's had his leg off is quite another. After that operation either the wounded stump heals or the man dies. If it heals, the fierce, continuous pain will stop. Presently he'll get back his strength and be able to stump about on his wooden leg. He has 'got over it.' But he will probably have recurrent pains in the stump all his life, and perhaps pretty bad ones; and he will always be a one-legged man. There will be hardly any moment when he forgets it. Bathing, dressing, sitting down and getting up again, even lying in bed, will all be different. His whole way of life will be changed. All sorts of pleasures and activities that he once took for granted will have to be simply written off. Duties too. At present I am learning to get about on crutches. Perhaps I shall presently be given a wooden leg. But I shall never be a biped again. For in grief, nothing 'stays put.' One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral? But if a spiral, am I going up or down it? How often will it be for always?—how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, 'I never realized my loss till this moment'? The same leg is cut off time after time."
In the darkness of night when so often, we cannot sleep due to pain or grieving or some other ugly frustration of life, we indeed relive what we have experienced. I love his thoughts when he incorporates the dentist, such as, "I once read the sentence 'I lay awake all night with a toothache, thinking about the toothache and about lying awake.' That's true to life. Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day thinking about living each day in grief. It doesn't really matter whether you grip the arms of the dentist's chair or let your hands lie in your lap. The drill drills on."
SURVIVAL: To quote this dear man once again, "Knock and it shall be opened.' But does knocking mean hammering and kicking the door like a maniac?" Oh that does have a familiar ring to it. How many times each of us have kicked and screamed in our pain but it is all so exhausting, there is always that day when we give in and say, "Okay, what can I do to make my life better if this is to be?"
I believe the answers lie in our daily lives, in the smaller acts we perform. This, of course, involves choices we make. If we have not found the miracle cure, surely we have found some sound advice along the way. All too often we lose sight of the helpful, little things while looking for the "big catch." Our lives are, in reality, a sum total of all the pieces. Performing that stretch or exercise in a consistent fashion will keep those muscles strong. Lifting that tiny weight each night, especially when you don't feel like it can make all the difference in how your body functions, whether you can push a cart at the store and carry in your own groceries. We are often too eager to ask for help when we still retain the capability. We are in a battle for our lives and need to be brave warriors and stave off disability as long as possible.
We are free to choose what we eat and to educate ourselves on what is good and bad for us. We know that carrying around excess weight is hard on our joints but we often give in to this problem and it only creates more problems, like strains, falls, diabetes, etc. We owe it to ourselves and to our families to practice safety: move that throw rug, tape that cord to the floor, take the stairs slowly, and always reserve one hand to hold the rail. We can do these things as well as becoming knowledgeable about our medications and not taking them to excess, not driving when under the "influence" and knowing what drugs do not mix well with others. Ask your pharmacist if you have doubts. Sometimes too many doctors can make a "spoiled stew." Each doctor should know what the others prescribe for you.
Most of all, we each have to search daily, sometimes hourly to find the upward frame of mind. We cannot be defeated. Having faith in life, in God and the powers of life can make all the difference. Once again, and lastly, I want to quote from C.S. Lewis. "You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you. It is easy to say you believe a rope to be strong and sound as long as you are merely using it to cord a box. But suppose you had to hang by that rope over a precipice. Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it?"
Look for the little, daily answers dear friends. They are there, hidden beneath the larger annoyances and questions. They make all the difference, like bricks on a walkway. One brick must be laid at a time before the walkway is complete. Perhaps if you build it, more health will come, both physically and mentally.

Well, it's a form of skateboarding that involves cruising, bombing hills and getting to and from places on a long board that is 30" to 57".
Traditional skateboarding is more about tricks. There are some longboard "hybrids" that allow a skater to perform street style skateboard maneuvers while maintaining the cursing and carving ability of a longboard skateboard. Longboards also have soft, bigger wheels ranging from 70mm-78mm. Longboard specific trucks are also necessary for the setup.
A beginner is going to want a longboard that's stable. Some boards have an immense amount of flex in the deck, which allows the rider to be closer to the ground for a more stable center of gravity. However, newbies needn't worry about that just yet. Here are some key features when considering which longboard to buy:
The shorter boards in the 30" - 32" range are perfect for youngsters or shorter people who are new to longboarding. For obvious reasons, they will be easier to maneuver for people with less mass. Super long boards are perfect for intermediate to advanced skaters who will be cruising at higher speeds. As a general rule of thumb, the shorter boards perform best on flatland and mild downhill scenarios. The shorter length allows the longboard to carve a sharper turning radius, giving the rider greater maneuverability. It's also ideal for weaving in and out of foot traffic or making 90 degree turns on sidewalks. For campus transportation and all beginners alike, choosing a longboard that's 40" in length or less will be best.
There are three main board styles from which to choose - cruising, freeride and downhill. Cruising boards are without a doubt the best longboard for beginners. For those interested in downhill riding or downhill racing, consider purchasing a stiffer board for stability. Freeride longboards are more for the advanced longboarders, combining downhill with boardslide styling. If this is your thing, stick with drop-through and drop platform decks for increased stability. Truck mounting really comes down to preference, however, those new to downhill may prefer the drop through mounting style to be closer to the ground and maintain a lower center of gravity. Those interested more in sliding may prefer a top mount board. The recommended downhill longboard length is 37"-43".
With a lower center of gravity, a flex drop through board makes these longboards more stable and easier to push. The flex also acts as a dampening system to help avoid discomfort on longer rides.
Making it easier to navigate sidewalks and crowds, these medium-length longboards are popular because their smaller size and the addition of a kick tail.
Great for carving, these top-mounted cruising boards have a lot of leverage over the trucks. The wheels are placed at the very ends of the deck giving them an increased sense of stability over traditional cruisers.
Still not sure what longboard you should get? Check our article and video about how to choose the right longboard.

Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena Reviews
February 2011 was our second time at the Kempinski in Bansko. We went in February 2010 as beginners and were really impressed by the resort in general. The ski road is an excellent way to return to the hotel due to the ski-in ski-out boot room which is just off the ski road. The hotel is absolutely fantastic. Rooms are lovely and big, well equiped and the food is excellent. I have seen reviews that say the food is strange and not good which I cannot understand anyone writing. Okay, so they don't serve chips but hey, this is a posh hotel, not a fast food restaurant. Seriously, the food is excellent as is the service. The only shame on my second year at the Kempinski was the withdrawal of the free priorty pass for the gondola which allowed Kempinski guests to jump the queue in the morning - this was free in 2010 but there was a c. £400 charge per person for this in 2011. That said, if you start queuing before 9am, it only takes 10-15 minutes before you are on your way so it is not so bad. Bansko is an excellent resort for beginners and intermediates and very good value for money.

Excellent hotel, with fantastic facilities. Stayed there Dec 07 it was the first time I had been skiing, the fact you could ski right to the hotel door was brilliant and I would not want to stay anywhere else. The service was excellent even if some of the meals were slightly strange, but just go and enjoy it and make the most of the apres ski!

Thoughts on the EU protection for Neapolitan pizza
Slice mail answered.
From the Slice inbox, a message from Scott Wiener of Scott's Pizza Tours. —The Mgmt.
Here's an article about Neapolitan Pizza's new TSG protection from the EU: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/6771819/Neapolitan-pizza-wins-official-protection-from-EU.html
My feelings about this are totally mixed. Neapolitan pizza is lovely and it's true that lots of people use the term without following the guidelines (not so much what cheese and tomatoes to buy, but how to handle the dough) but I hope people don't get the idea that pizza has to have special protection to be good. Every major American city is getting into this wood-fired oven game (just tried House Pizzeria in Austin, Texas!) but the oven doesn't dictate the quality of the final product. Not that it has to be made in the Neapolitan fashion, but there's a world of skill that goes along with merely following the rules. Some of the best pizza I've ever had was good because it strayed from formal rules. Anyway, you catch my drift.
Have a slice weekend,

The devil Hello Kitty did surprising well, but then again doesn't all the tutorials on her get a lot of attention? I decided that I should do the opposite to the devil version of Hello Kitty and show you "how to draw angel Hello Kitty", step by step. What I like about this version of Kitty is how she looks insanely innocent while looking the same. The only that that is different about her is the style of dress, the addition of wings, and her golden halo. Of course she manages to keep her bow as usually because if she didn't, Hello Kitty wouldn't look like herself at all. The best part about this version of Kitty is how easy she is going to be to draw. I know you will have a blast as you begin drawing angel Hello Kitty, as I did making her. Well that's all folks, I have to fly out of here so I can get the other lessons uploaded. Peace out and enjoy!

Alright Lovelies. It is Tuesday and I have a new budget friendly post for you. I wanted to get this one up for you, since I am still working on my new month of meal plans and my staples list. I honestly didn't think it would take so long to compile, but summer fun is kicking my butt. In a good way though. Swimming with those littles has taken top priority lately, which is why their was no blog hop this weekend or the Fabulous shops party. I honestly just didn't have time to get them up. Because of this I am going to take a break from the hop and the shop party. I will continue doing the Feature Friday Linky Party, since it is one of my favs! The other ones will be on hold until the summer is over. I am hoping to get them going again then. Just a little FYI for ya.
Now onto today's post. I received quite a few questions on how I do Costco and such. You know any of those warehouse stores. I was asked if I shop there, do I actually save money, and how do I save money. Well I have a post all ready for you, to help you still shop at those warehouse stores and save money too!
So lets get down to the nitty gritty. First off this is just how I save. These are suggestions and by no means am I telling anyone what to do. I am just letting you in on the way we save money or make ends meet. It really depends on what boat you are in. So lets see how I do it.
First off I do not do Costco the same day I do my once a month shopping. That would just be insane. Way too exhausting. I only actually shop at Costco maybe very two or three months. I have to really budget for this, since it spends a huge chunk of my monthly budget. I do it though because some things are just way to hard to pass up. Not because they are super awesome, which they are, but because they are vital to making my food system work. I use Costco to buy all of my baking needs. Their prices on sugar, flour, and yeast are beyond thrilling. I haven't meet a store yet that could compete with their prices, when it comes to baking stuff. Costco just rocks!
I plan my Costco trips ahead of time. I write up my list like so.
This particular month I was getting seasonings, some fruit, eggs (which I have now finally found at Winco for a good price), and some canned stuff.
Notice the question mark by milk? Well that is me wanting to compare the price. I know milk is always $2.48 at Winco. I just have that price memorized. I wanted to check to see if milk was cheaper at Costco. It wasn't, so I didn't buy it.
I also was looking for a bathing suit for my little girl. I always check thrift stores first, but when I couldn't find one I had to go new. I ended up finding one for a good price at Costco. That usually never happens. I rarely, if ever, purchase anything from the middle section at Costco.
Before I get into how I shop at Costco, I am sure you are wondering what my staple list for Costco is.
Well I have it for you. Here we go....
I've included a price and link for some
I also tried to estimate how long each will last me.
All are approx.
50 lb. bag of Flour - will last us about 3-4 months
Cost- $13.99
25 lb. bag of Sugar - will last seriously like 6 months at least
Cost- $15.04
Chocolate Chips Semi-Sweet for Baking- will last about 2 months
Yeast - approx. $3.25
I am still using the same bag I bought in December.
I still have another month of baking to get out of it.
Love this! So much cheaper!
Lawry's Seasoning Salt- $6.04
Still on the same bottle I bought 3 months ago.
It is only a quarter of a way used.
Garlic Salt- $7.07
Still on the same bottle I bought 3 months ago.
It is only a quarter of a way used.
Brown Gravy Mix- $4.22
Awesome to have this in the cupboard.
No more buying canned gravy or gravy packets.
I use this more in the winter, so I still have almost a full bottle.
I bought it in December
Oil-Will last at least 6 months
Raisins- Will last 2 months
Craisins- Will last 2 months
Pancake Mix- will last at least 2-3 months
Salt- will last months. comes in a 4 pack
Mayo- will last 2 months
Jasmine Rice- will last about 6 months
40 ct bag of Tortillas- will last about 1-2 months
2 pack of Peanut Butter - will last 2 months
Ranch Dressing - will last 2 months at least
Go Gurt- will last a month
Vinegar- will last 6 months at least
2 pack Nuetella- will last 2 months
Lemon Juice 2 pack- will last 2-3 months
Also on the list:
Canned peaches, pears, mandarin oranges, and apple sauce
Canned green beans, peas, and carrots
Canned re-fried beans
some fresh fruit
sometimes canned soups in winter
So that is a basic staples list for Costco. I do buy canned goods there as well. Canned fruits, veggies, and beans. If you don't like canned goods, I understand, but don't be a hater. They are an essential part of our food storage and I use them for our meals. Also when we have had months where there was little to no money for grocery shopping (yes, we have had that happen before) our canned goods got us through that hard time. I am a big supporter of having a good supply of canned goods in food storage. They may not be the best, compared to fresh, but they are beneficial. Now Jasmine rice is the biggest ticket item there on my staple list. It is a lot, but not only do we LOVE Jasmine rice, but it last us forever. We have it at least 2-3 times a week and it will last us about 6 months, so the $30 investment is well worth it.
I store all of my flour, sugar, and rice in 5 gallons tubs I purchased from Home Depot. I also have canisters on my counters.
Notice something about my list? There aren't any frozen items on there. Nope there isn't. Why? Well because I don't buy them there. I steer clear of the freezer and fridge section. I only buy something from the section if I have a stellar Costco coupon. I don't walk by those isles because I don't need the temptation. Stores like Costco have awesome delishsious freezer meals and such. The only thing is they are way expensive and can have your grocery budget getting out of hand real quick. Just steer clear and you won't mess up your budget.
Also only buy what is on your list. My staples list is what I like to have in my cupboards. I don't buy everything on that list each time I go. It ends up that I spend anywhere from $80-$100. I go about once every 2-3 months. That $80-$100 comes out of my $400 dollar grocery budget. I really watch myself. Messing up here can mean I have less money to play around with at that regular grocery store. You have to be careful and have self control. Try the samples, but don't buy them:)
Now when I do my once a month shopping I go at it alone. It is just easier for me and my hubby gets time with the kids. Too much thinking in this brain of mine, when I do once a month shopping. I need that alone time to think. Now going to Costco is different. Usually I have my littles with me. I trained my littles from the time they were toddlers not to ask for things in the store and no fits. If they did this they wouldn't get to come the next time. Now I won't say they never ask for anything, but no fits. EVER. They are very good helpers and understand when I say no. Also Costco is the one place we go, where they get a treat on our way out. I have a soft spot for their churros and berry smoothies. I try to save a bit of our budget, so the littles and I can get our snack. It is a great motivator for them not to fight and be helpful in the store. Oh and plus this Mama loves the sugary goodness of that reward just as much as they do.
Once we have everything we need, we head for the checkout.
Once we get home everyone helps put everything away. Then of course the littles have to try something new out. This is probably the most exciting thing for them:)
I hope you found this post useful and will use it on your next trip to Costco.

We've written about hundreds of recipes since the early days, and this being a "Best Of" week here at Food52, we thought it was only fitting for each of us to bring back a few of our late summer go-tos.
Here are Merrill's:
Lobster Diavolo -- yes, the name inspired some controversy, but that doesn't change the fact that this pasta is a crowd pleaser.
Roasted Corn with Lime, Parmesan and Chili -- sweet, spicy and savory all at once. Elote, without the cob.
My Best Tomato Sandwich -- when it comes down to it, there's no better vehicle for summer's most coveted fruit/vegetable.
Steak with Arugula, Lemon and Parmesan -- a quick turn on the grill, and dinner's on the table. (Amanda, here: I made this last night for a group of 12, served on a large platter and passed around the table. Huge hit!)
Watermelonade -- a perfect refresher for the last of summer's heat.
Berry Summer Pudding -- a great British culinary tradition, second only to Spotted Dick.
Cream Cheese Cookies -- these work pretty much any time of year.
And here are Amanda's:
White Gazpacho with Cantaloupe -- one of the seven wonders of the culinary world: almonds, garlic, bread and oil make a silky, cool white soup. I'm happy every time I eat it.
Cream of Roasted Tomato Soup -- roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and mashing the tomatoes by hand intensifies your biceps.
Fried Green Tomatoes with Panko and Parmesan -- spiky panko makes the fried tomatoes extra crisp, and parmesan never hurts.
Summer Squash Gratin with Salsa Verde and Gruyere -- this recipe comes from "Sunday Suppers at Lucques" by Suzanne Goin. The green sauce and cheese may sound like a dubious pairing, but they're BFF, promise.
Spaghetti with Clams, Parsley, Garlic, and Lemon (x2) -- think of lemon as a bright noon sun, and preserved lemon as a deep rosy sunset -- here you get both illuminating the dish.
Nectarine Slump -- ripe, juicy fruit tucked beneath a mascarpone cloud.
Peach Tart -- an oil-based press-in crust with no par-baking required. Peaches that you don't have to peel. Peachy keen!
A New Way to Dinner, co-authored by Food52's founders Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, is an indispensable playbook for stress-free meal-planning (hint: cook foundational dishes on the weekend and mix and match 'em through the week).

SLHenry needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 119 designs submitted by 42 freelance designers.
Would like a crisp clean logo. Would like to avoid photographic cliches eg tripods/film/lens etc.
Desired Style:
Crisp, and clean - not fussy
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
We will be using the logo on our website and our client correspondence, so we will need to see it with both a black background (as our website has a black background) and white (for our correspondence).
We mainly have been using the colors black, white and grey and would like to remain with these. We would like to introduce another color and will leave that at your design discretion.
We only want the words "Into The Picture" to be used.

It is said that the smart phones are facilitating our transition into the fourth industrial revolution, where more and more of our life (time) becomes dependent on technology, and one can certainly see it happening even today. It's actually quite alarming to see just how dependent we are becoming on smart phones, but what is even more alarming is just how fast all of this is happening before our eyes. Of course, the majority of people seem to be excited and openly welcome this new frontier, but there are also some concerns about the effect that technology has on the quality of our lives, and on us; and that is, by making it more convenient for us it is also making us more addicted and dependent on it. And most people don't even notice it, or dismiss it as irrelevant. The gain seems more than loss. But is it? What is gained and what is lost? I really think that with time, people are going have even less and less will power, or actual choice, in this matter; in other words, technology will eventually completely control people, and not the other way around.
I had a conversation about this once, and the guy was actually looking forward to living in virtual worlds, ala matrix, in which all senses are incorporated completely. I think he may be expressing the view of the majority of people, too. In his counter argument, he questioned reality itself and dream states, comparing the two. (How do you know you are not dreaming now, or not in a simulated world, etc?) Scary stuff, and scary because it can become reality for many, people living in virtual worlds, declaring all realities as possibly virtual, including own concept of self. Who or what is even talking? Who knows? And so my point is, how is this different from becoming a drugged up slave?
Another question is to what degree it is by choice, or are we that helpless in this process? I mean, will there be a point where technology, in its "race to the brain stem" will reach a sophistication level where a person would have no chance of saying no, or have any sort of free will? Will it be like waking up inside a dream, or saying "no" without any actual difference happening, or eventual re-routing back to virtual world? And what can we say of such person? If a wolf chooses to eat man's food, does he also choose to become a dog? Who knows, maybe we'll come to the point where people will be born addicted to technology, or even to particular brands (how soon can you start conditioning human beings?) Remember this Ford ad? Why not go even further, say to a fetal level? What would then be difference between brand loyalty and branded slavery, or who will own whom? And why not go go down on biological level (maybe even genetic level), I mean, brand loyalty on genetic level...why not? Might we eventually become like Chihuahuas and poodles of the canine world, bred for a particular purpose? This is a possibility because the principle is the same, the Pavlovian reward, and people blindly go for it, consenting.
Anyway, here are some videos addressing the issue of smart phone addiction epidemic:
60 Minutes had an episode on it too:
This guy, Tristan Harris, is offering an alternative in technology design that he believes will give people more choice and control over technology. Although it sounds like a good idea, I also can't help but think that he also may be trying to create a new market niche, the "organic" or "humane" version of technology. So, in the end, will this be like choosing between Naked Juice and Pepsi? Will he just open a new door in the same house? I mean, could this just become a new, alternative addiction, or brand loyalty?

Is Karl a hoarder?
The best thing is about to happen to you today. You are about to read, if you haven't already, an article written by Karl Lagerfeld about Karl Lagerfeld, A Day In The Life.
Lagerfeld honoured Harper's Bazaar - and all of us - this month by not only sharing his daily schedule but also explaining it. With Karl, as you know, it's always the explanation that makes it great. Like why he sleeps in a full length white shirt every night with matching sheets that have to, all of it, be laundered every single day.
I don't want to spoil it. You should devour it, savour it for yourself.
You will note though that I've attached a shot taken by Karl himself of what appears to be his cluttered sink which... doesn't correspond to anything that he's described about his life. Check out also the shot of all those magazines tossed around his couch.
Good God. Is Karl Lagerfeld a hoarder???

A company hoping to tap into New York's portion of the gas-rich Marcellus Shale has...
A company hoping to tap into New York's portion of the gas-rich Marcellus Shale has filed for bankruptcy.
Norse Energy's U.S.-based subsidiary announced Thursday that it has filed for a Chapter 11 reorganization. The company has been very involved in the battle of high-volume hydrofracking in New York, and in many ways hitched its future on it.
Norse is also dealing with a $17.7 million lawsuit
filed by Bradford Drilling over a separate drilling partnership in the Herkimer formation. A judge last month ordered the company to deposit $7.65 million in an escrow account while the suit continues, a decision Norse said added "uncertainty about the Company's ability to meet its debt and other obligations as they fall due."
Norse currently has the gas rights to about 130,000 acres of land in the state's portion of the Marcellus, and has filed numerous permit requests with the Department of Environmental Conservation. Those requests, however, are on hold as the state continues its review of large-scale hydrofracking.
This week, DEC Commissioner Joseph Martens said his agency is hopeful
it can come to a decision on whether to greenlight high-volume hydrofracking by the end of February. If a set of proposed regulations aren't finalized by then, the agency would have to restart its rule-making process.
Norse Energy is based in Oslo, Norway. Its U.S. operations were based in Buffalo, but were later moved to Houston.

You Don't Have to Take Our Word for It!
Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say about Burton's Collision & Auto Repair:
Did a great job with body repair on our company vehicle. Also, cleaned the car inside and out. Being that this car is used for company business and transporting children, the interior was VERY DIRTY and they took the time and care to thoroughly clean the inside, even though it did not have anything to do with the repairs. They even gave us an air freshener. Very nice touch! Exceptional work. Very please with the shop all around.Nicole Wilson - Cincinnati
Car: 2015 WRX I took my car into Burton's after a deer caused an accident early this winter. I am a single guy and treat my car like my first born son. I was devastated at the amount of damage sustained and honestly thought the car would be totaled. When I got my car back, I was completely impressed with the attention to detail Burton's put in. My car came out looking better than when it had gone in. Burton's team completely detailed it, and really went the extra mile to ensure I was satisfied. They have earned a customer for life. -DavidDavid Lutz - Loveland, OH
Thank you so much for making my Mazda CX-5 look brand new! Absolutely amazing repair job and Ricky kept me updated all along the way. Would definitely recommend to family and friendsChristina Honnert - Cincinnati
Visiting Madeira for a gathering of friends, I ran into car trouble. I found Burton's website and they were open. Gave them a call and was advised to bring my car in. They fixed it, test drove it, gave me an extremely fair invoice, which I gladly paid, and I was on my way - safe and sound! Wonderful group of professionals. Does not get more perfect than that - Thanks again!Jacky Todd - Worcester, PA
Amazing customer service and work!! Ricky & his staff went above and beyond on the body repairs to my Honda Pilot. The quote was detailed and far below several others that I received. Ricky was able to get my car in immediately while I was on vacation so I would not need to get a rental for the week. The body work is amazing and my car was returned completely detailed both inside and out. I will always recommend Burton's!!! Thanks again!!!Lisa Feichtner - Cincinnati, Ohio
When I found this place years ago it was so comforting after all the fly by nights and shysters in the business I had been to in my life. I am now 79 years old and if I ever need him I hope he is still there.B. S.
Amazing service and really well done work I'll always recommend them.K. N.
I needed some repairs done recently to my F350. Burton's did a great job and fixed all of them the same day I brought it in. They even took the time to do a thorough inspection and addressed all of my concerns.C. S.
...Duane's attention to detail and getting it right before letting a vehicle roll out cascades down through his entire team, from Greg to Andy to...well everyone I met. (And how often do you find a garage where the mechanics seem pleased to be working there?) I'd recommend Burton's to anyone who's looking for a repair facility that's committed to quality and that will stand behind the work they do...not just because their reputation depends on it, but because their sense of pride in what they do demands it...C. S.
Burton's does quality work. Ricky and the team are respectful, go out of their way to help you, and they are honest and up front. There isn't a better place to take your vehicle in my opinion.J. B.
Extremely helpful and truly have the customer's best interest at heart. And on top of that, they do great repair work! My family has used them several times and always been glad we did.S. M.
TOTALLY PLEASED!!! Our 2011 Ford F150 was recently serviced for some body work repairs from a recent accident. Burton's came highly recommended from our Insurance Company. I must say the workmanship was beyond expectation. The quality - impeccable - down to the smallest details. Our truck looks brand new!!! Body shop manager - Ricky - upbeat demeanor and knowledge base made what was a stressful time much more tolerable. Ricky was very thorough, down to earth, and kept us informed every step of the way. Highly recommend!!P. M.
Burton's delivers honest and excellent customer service. They are always willing to offer a "dumbed down" explanation of what needs to be done. I will always take my car here. Great job Duane!K. S.
The work was done timely and was impeccable. I would highly recommend this company without hesitation. The customer service was great!B. Y.

flirtcatalog needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 179 designs submitted by 45 freelance designers.
Flirt is an online retailer for sexy women's clothing. We appeal to a wide array of women from the occasional clubber to the exotic dancer! We are looking for a new logo (and design afterwards) for our eCommerce site, http://www.flirtcatalog.com where we sell sexy clothing to women of all ages.
Wear the clothes do the talking! OR From mild to wild and everything in between! (Optional, but if the taglines can be worked into alternate versions of the logo it would be a definite plus!)
Desired Color Scheme:
Soft and fun pinks and gray accents as the main colors.
Desired Style:
Web 2.0, Clean, Fun, Bright
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
We like the logo we have right now but are looking to give it a facelift and bring it up to date with a new web 2.0 style look. The existing logo/letters are too tall and not wide enough and the lines on it are much too sharp and the colors not bright and vivid enough.
We are also open to complete redesigns of the logo, just be sure to include our name, flirt. Any logos should convey that flirt is a fun place to shop for those who also have a wild side!
We are looking for an up to date, fresh web 2.0 look. We want to keep it clean and not too busy. The logo will most likely go on a white background and can be designed accordingly. We want it to send the message that we are a fun place to shop for good girls with a naughty side! It would also be nice if we were able to take something from the logo and use it as an icon for the site that will be recognizable as ours to customers.
Try to keep to nice soft pinks for the lettering as we aim to redesign the site around the logo's colors and those are the colors we would like our new site design to utilize. Other colors can be used (such as the gold halo around the "t" in our current logo) but should be there to support the main colors. A nice gray that is the same tone as the pink can be used as a general accent color. Ignore the colors on our current site as they will not play any factor in the design of this logo.
There is a possibility that the winner will be asked to perform additional creative work if he/she is willing including a shot at a new design for the entire site.
From what I have seen in the other contests I can all but guarantee there will be a winner picked for this contest! Thanks in advance to all who participate and please be sure to read the geenral comments as things may change as the contest progresses!

Suppose {$K_i/\mathbb{Q}$} is a finite set of finite galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois groups $G_i$.
Suppose we know the ramifications of $K_i$ quite well (e.g., their decomposition groups, inertia groups at some primes),
What can we say about the ramifications of the compositum field of $K_i$ (e.g., the ramification index, inertia degree of some primes)? Any References?
Particularly, when $K_1\cap K_2=\mathbb{Q}$, we know that $K_1K_2$ has Galois group $G_1\times G_2$. Is the corresponding decomposition group (resp. inertia group) of the form $D_1\times D_2$ (resp. $I_1\times I_2$)? (This is wrong in general, see Álvaro Lozano-Robledo's answer for a counterexample)
How about the case if we remove the requirement that $K_i/\mathbb{Q}$ are Galois?

Peter Tuckel received his B.A. from Clark University and his Ph.D. from New York University. He teaches statistics and research methods both at the undergraduate level and in Hunter College's Master's Program in Social Research.
As part of the course requirements in his Introduction to Research Methods course, his students conduct a research project observing behavior in public places. Examples of the types of projects his students have undertaken in the past are: (1) observing the number of times riders on the New York City subway system need to swipe their Metrocards in order to get through the turnstiles, (2) the incidence of hand-washing in public restrooms in New York City, and (3) the frequency of purchasing more than the "allowable number" of items in supermarket express lanes.
Respecting his research, one of his primary interests is an examination of the factors influencing participation in different data gathering modes such as public opinion surveys, focus groups, and the U.S. Census. He has written extensively on the usage patterns of evolving telephone-related technologies (e.g., answering machines, Caller ID, cell phones) and their impact on telephone surveys.
Another major research interest centers on the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a historical research tool. He has applied GIS to study the diffusion of the influenza pandemic of 1918. Currently he is using this research technique to study the residential patterns of African-Americans of differing geographic origins in one American city.

NATIONAL TAKE BACK INITIATIVE; APRIL 30, 2011; Time:10 AM-2 PM Location: Industry Sheriff's Station
Time: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Location: Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
Industry Station
150 N. Hudson Ave.
La Puente, Ca 91744
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. More than seven million Americans currently abuse prescription drugs, according to the 2009 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration's National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Each day, approximately, 2,500 teens use prescription drugs to get high for the first time according to the Partnership for a Drug Free America. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet.
In an effort to address this problem, DEA, in conjunction with state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the United States, conducted the first ever National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Saturday, September 25, 2010. The purpose of this National Take Back Day was to provide a venue for persons who wanted to dispose of unwanted and unused prescription drugs. This effort was a huge success in removing potentially dangerous prescription drugs, particularly controlled substances, from our nation's medicine cabinets. There were approximately 3,000 state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the nation that participated in the event. All told, the American Public turned in more than 121 tons of pills on this first National Take Back Day.
Due to the overwhelming success of the first event, DEA has scheduled the second National Prescription Drug Take Back Day which will take place on Saturday, April 30, 2011, from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. This is a great opportunity for those who missed the first event or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of them.

Capturing Africa's missing billions and making it work for its people
Oxfam co-hosted an event today featuring African politicians and academic and industry experts to discuss "How to make the African extractives industry work for African people."
For a continent so rich in natural resources, how is it that many of Africa's countries fall among the lowest in global rankings of economic growth, despite exports of minerals, oil and gas from Africa worth roughly seven times the value of international aid to the continent?
In our research, a statistic caught my eye.
Africa is said to be losing more than $60 billion of all its wealth each year, an estimated two-thirds of it from minerals, gas and oil. That's more than a billion dollars a week - week in, week out - with most of it lost offshore. It's being stuffed away into corporate tax havens, numbered bank accounts, mazes of shell companies, tax evasion, corruption, in price manipulations and similar ruses and dodgy dealings.
The OECD itself says the global tax system is broken. It has not kept pace with the transnational nature of our global economy. The opportunities for tax evasion and tax minimisation through clever accounting and profit shifting is robbing poor African countries of much needed revenue to tackle poverty and foster sustainable development.
For example, the Government of Zambia believes it is owed up to a billion dollars in unpaid taxes from copper production.
Maybe $60 billion seems familiar? Remember back five years. Lehman Brothers went bust on the back of toxic loans reckoned to be worth around $60 billion. I think there is some synchronicity here. Lehman took time to accumulate and detonate its $60 billion time-bomb. The world is still suffering the fall-out from that domino collapse, with ordinary people now paying dearly for the clean-up in the name of "austerity."
How extraordinary it is then that Africa is extracting from its earth and losing a Lehman-sized mountain of money every 12 months. Or that where Lehman provoked such terror and such action, in Africa, the minerals keep being discovered and its money keeps disappearing.
This hemorrhage of capital has been happening for at least 30 years. That's the finding of the African Development Bank, which calculates Africa having lost as much as $1.4 trillion in illicit financial flows between 1980 and 2009.
That's a lot of Lehmans. That's a lot of schools and hospitals and roads and bridges. "Africa's resource curse" could be in danger of becoming just another hackneyed headline.
However, I'm optimistic that this scandal is finally being taken seriously.
Africa's mineral wealth remains monstrous.
- New oil in Ghana.
- New iron ore in Liberia.
- New gas and gold in Tanzania.
- New gas in Mozambique.
$11 billion in new finds, and hundreds of billions more in established flows, with much more no doubt still to come. Africa still has plenty of mineral assets. There's time to get it right, so that African people can properly benefit from the wealth beneath their feet.
I'm optimistic that all this mineral wealth could be realised for the benefit of ordinary African citizens because there is now political progress being made - slow maybe, but real, in capitals, in regions, and crucially in Washington and Brussels too.
Ghana for example has married its new mineral discoveries with an ambitious new petroleum revenue management law. Regionally, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has begun work on a regional mining code, intended to protect the rights of local communities. The Africa Union has adopted its 'Africa Mining Vision'. The G8 just last year endorsed the need for mandatory payment disclosure requirements as well as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative. The EU Transparency and Accounting Directives and US Dodd-Frank Act now require oil, gas and mining companies to disclose payments to host governments, right down to the project level.
Other mining nations with a major presence in the countries of Africa, such as Australia, must get on board and introduce similar mandatory payment disclosure legislation, like that in the US, the EU and planned for Canada. There are more than 250 Australian companies operating today in the countries of Africa, and if you include the explorers, that number soars to 700 projects in 42 African countries.
These are all examples of the kind of solid foundations we need, to shine a light into the secrecy of the global extractives industries and to help shore up good governance in African countries.
The time is ripe for all these initiatives to be set into action. As Dr Nic Cheeseman, the Director of the African Studies Centre at Oxford University who is co-hosting the speaking event with Oxfam, says, how well African countries manage their natural resources over the next decade is the single most important factor that will determine whether or not the continent manages to sustain its fragile economic recovery.
We must redouble our efforts to understand how African countries can best manage their extractives industries and to support them. But we should not just focus on what African governments can do. Multinational companies and rich countries have often pursued self-interested policies to the detriment of African people.
Ensuring that Africa's mineral potential is made to work for the people of Africa requires a new approach, both inside and outside of Africa.

Back when I was editor of Herb Companion, I wrote that some people think of gardening as a solitary act. It's taken me the intervening decade, and a cancer scare, and the birth of an internal craving for beauty so fierce that it frightens me, to learn that gardening is anything but.
I love being alone while working a garden. And sure, digging, weeding, planning, dreaming, shopping, planting, can be solitary pursuits. But even then you're often surrounded by other people, or other people's words, or everyone who's ever cast a whisper across the land you're changing or attempting to shield from change.
I have the luck of having a beautiful flowering crabapple grace my front yard.
There sure as heck isn't much else about the house that was built gracefully, not the floor plan or the structural soundness (my original assessor knew: "Grade of materials used: Economy"). But that crab has gender, (female) grace, and bounty. It has bees, whose every quiver, every thought, every wingbeat, relates to the health of the hive. I'm not sure, deep in the still-mostly-undiscovered country of how they think, they even have separate brains.
When the previous homeowners planted this crab, back in the oil-boom eighties when the subdivision was built, it fell over twice, necessitating, I was told, much cussing and fussing and digging and roping and a gas line severed by a shovel (don't forget to do your line locates before digging, peeps!) I probably owe the tree's continued health to a friend who's a sort of surrogate dad, Perry the retired engineer who has fed me a million soups and stews and glasses of wine, and let my dogs out when I'm gone, and who offered to cut off the last low-hanging limb from my girl. It was after the drought when the big snows came back, and I was worried she'd lose the limb and then I'd lose my tree. I'd lose all those lovely spring days when she graces my front yard with blazes of fuchsia and the hum of a drunken swarm. He expertly took off the limb and I could have sworn I heard the tree sigh with relief.
My soil siblings — Perry; his paragon of a wife; my amazing, artistic, best friend of two decades who gave me free reign in her herb beds; my Master Gardener buds; my dear, sweet, stone-moving, dog-walking, garden-path-building friend Paula; and you blog readers, you who've speeded my headlong rush into this crazy thing: I think of you with every shovel of earth. Every early morning at the computer. With every hot swipe of plastic for another book or shrub or class or batch of seeds. I think of the laugh and verve of a friend who's not just soil sister, but bloggin' buddy, the extension agent who opened the gate for me to rediscover learning when she very well could have closed it. "Oh," she said, as I haltingly described, in our first conversation, how my little xeriscaped corner garden had changed me. Her voice was rich with a wise internal laugh. "You're hooked." Then she began to slip me seed catalogs, infecting me with her own addiction to food gardening and wacky vegetables.
All of this is to say: Don't garden alone. Friends are the best harvest.
