With Grayson Perry:The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman opening on 6 October 2011, the Museum has been asking contributors from the craft world including the Crafts Council and The Craftivist Collective to share their thoughts on the importance of craft today. In this special blog post, Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry gives us his opinion on craft in the digital age, one of the diverse themes he explores in his exhibition.

I often feel I am under pressure to somehow represent the craft 'community', to be the poster boy for the handmade. I am a great lover of craft skill but I am not going to fetishise technique over artistry. The difference between craft and art I define as craft being something that can be taught, and art coming much more from the inspired individual. Many artists are extremely poor craftsmen, many crafts people are rubbish artists. I see many beautifully made things that I find pig ugly. What I will stand up for is the relevance of craft in the information age. Some people think that craft is a nostalgic activity like knitting with grandma or throwing medieval peasant pottery, I say craft is necessary and thriving more than ever in the age of the internet, Photoshop and rapid prototyping. There are some great examples in the current show at the V&A, The Power of Making.
One of my pleasures now I have had a bit of success and a bit more money is commissioning and working with great crafts men and women. I like nothing more than designing a dress, some shoes or a motorcycle and collaborating with highly skilled individuals or teams to bring my ideas to life. I employ crafts people to assist me in casting my sculptures, printing my etchings or digitising my tapestries. None of these individuals would I describe as nostalgic or an anachronism in the digital age. In fact every one of them uses to a greater or lesser degree the wonderful technology now so woven into our lives.
My shoemaker very much depends on her website as a shop window, her footwear is for a niche market and she needs to be found by her far-flung international clientele. A rock star in L.A. can order a pair of lace thigh boots with seven-inch heels and my shoemaker can make them in an inexpensive studio in north London. I can email drawings of a detail of my motorcycle design to a custom bike builder on the south coast where he can skillfully convert them into CAD/CAM programme and the parts get milled to a standard that would be hugely time consuming and expensive if not impossible if made by hand. A friend alters photographs in Photoshop for me to get turned into ceramic transfers that I will fire onto a vase. These will be printed on a specially built inkjet printer which uses ceramic enamels making it possible to make full colour transfers much cheaper than with the old litho or silk screen method.
Digital technology brings to the craftsman and artist a range of tools that offer creative opportunities that before were too expensive for an individual making one offs, or too time consuming or just plain impossible. This technology is coming down in price all the time it won't be long before 3D printers are as common as kilns. I think that to become skilful with these newer technologies is to be just as much of a craftsman as with a traditional weaver or potter. To get great results the user has to be just as sympathetic to the material effects of a particular digital technique. Tests have to be done and responded to just the same as I do with glazes in the kiln. The results of digital production often have a lifeless feeling that is because the machine will do exactly what is asked of it and no more, there are few 'gifts of the fire' as in pottery. Crafts people will become better at predicting and nuancing their instructions to the machines and digital manufacturing machines will become more refined. I look forward to an amazing era of craft and art using computers in various ways and in combination with the old techniques we know and love.

Last Thursday the Emery High swim teams headed off to BYU to participate in the first-ever Utah State High School 2-A swim meet and by the time they had left Provo, they were coming home as the second place team in both the girls and boys divisions. All 2-A schools with swim teams had competed with the 3-A schools up until now but finally the Utah High School Activities Association had enough sense to allow the smaller schools to compete with themselves.
The Lady Spartans, led by Laryssa Guymon's first place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke, finished right behind North Summit in the girl's side. The Emery boys led by Spencer Fauver's two second-place finishes in the 100-yard freestyle and the 50-yard freestyle finished second behind Rowland Hall.

Guymon also scored points by finishing second in the 200-yard individual medley and swam on the 200-yard medley relay team that finished third and the 200-yard freestyle relay team that also finished third. Fauver also swam on the 200-yard medley relay team for boys and the 400-yard freestyle relay team for boys and both finished second.
Also swimming with Guymon on the medley relay team were Madi Allinson, Kaitlyn Sailing and Chyanne Carter. Swimming on the ladies freestyle relay team were Carter, Allinson and Melece Pulli. Swimming on the boys medley relay team were Kelvin Childs, McKade Hansen and Justan Potter. Swimming on the 400-yard relay team were Potter, Kayden Parkins and Levi Jensen.
Emery also scored points in the boy's 200-yard freestyle relay race as they finished sixth and swimming for the Spartans were Hansen, Parkins, Devin Wilson and Nate Gilbert. The Emery girl's 400-yard freestyle relay team also place as they finished fourth. Swimming on this team were Krista Wright, Jamie Gilbert, Sailing and Pulli.
Also scoring points for the Lady Spartans were Sailing in the 200-yard medley with a sixth place finish and a sixth place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke. Carter placed breaststroke. Carter placed fifth in the 50-yard freestyle and in the 100-yard freestyle. Pulli was forth in the 100-yard butterfly while Wright was sixth in the 500-yard freestyle. Allinson finished fourth in the 500-yard and third in the 100-yard backstroke.
Also scoring points for the boy's team were Potter in the 100-yard freestyle with a fourth place finish and Childs in the 100-yard breaststroke with a fourth place finish.

Big offseason signings Smith, Brennan to make Leafs debute in preseason G2
Cam Charron
September 16 2013 12:29PM
-The world is pumped to see Trevor Smith's Maple Leafs debut
After a 4-3 win last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs take to the ice again against the Philadelphia Flyers. They will have a similar roster to last night's contest in London while the Leafs will swap out 17 players, giving fans our first look of the season at Phil Kessel, James van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak. We'll also see Trevor Smith and T.J. Brennan make their anticipated Leafs debuts, and to a lesser extent, David Clarkson and Jonathan Bernier.
I think our impressions of the Flyers last night were less than positive. A couple of their goals made their way through screens, and Philly's defence looked awful to start the game. The Leafs' first four shots were all excellent scoring chances, and it isn't a ringing endorsement of Steve Mason to point out that all of them went in, although the first 10 minutes of a preseason contest isn't the place to judge a goaltender.
The Leafs released their lines for this game:
(21) van Riemsdyk- (42) Bozak- (81) Kessel
(37) Ashton- (39) McKegg- (71) Clarkson
(29) D'Amigo- (23) Smith- (41) Kulemin
(48) Ross- (58) Crescenzi- (40) Bodie
(51) Gardiner- (25) Brennan
(8) Granberg- (44) Rielly
(2) Fraser- (57) MacWilliam
(45) Bernier
(35) MacIntyre
At least this update gives you jersey numbers, and at least the Leafs only have two guys with numbers in the 50s tonight. Again, here's the Flyers road travel team.
What to look for? I don't know. The Leafs' first line will probably carve up that Flyers defence that is, again, without its three top players. The Flyers only sent a few NHL forwards up to Toronto on the trip, and with the Leafs icing what looks to be a stronger roster tonight with a few more vets in the lineup, it could get ugly.
Jake Gardiner and T.J. Brennan is an interesting defensive pairing. Both shoot left, and Brennan is on the bubble to make the Leafs this season. They don't seem like a good fit, since Gardiner should be with a stabilizing presence like Mark Fraser or Cody Franson that can handle defensive minutes, but Brennan is a good skater and both guys should have no trouble activating themselves in the right situation. One thing Leafs defencemen didn't do last season is pinch from the point, but with Gardiner in the lineup the whole season, plus the apparent fight between Brennan and Morgan Rielly for that final roster spot, the Leafs' horses may be a little more capable this season.
Jerry D'Amigo, Trevor Smith and Nik Kulemin is another of those "potential fourth lines" you like if Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren are out for any reasonable stretch. Bernier gets the start. I'd expect it to be like James Reimer and Christopher Gibson last night, where they switched halfway through.
Puck drop is at… 7 Eastern. Sportsnet Ontario.
Are preseason games available on Gamecenter?
September 16 2013, 04:04PM
I actually am really excited to get a look at TJ Brennan.

There are many challenges that Randy Smithpeters knows awaits his ballclub as the season opens Monday night in the sixth annual Harrisburg Invitational.
The longtime Bulldog boys' basketball coach also acknowledges the challenge awaiting his team when the tournament tips off with Gallatin County Monday night at 7:30 p.m.
"I see the Gallatin County game as not only a big tip off for our tournament, but southern Illinois as a whole. It's two of the most highly thought of teams this year and I wish we would have had more time to prepare, but it is what it is."
Goreville and Anna-Jonesboro left the Invite to join Goreville's tournament and Gallatin County was brought in as a replacement.
The Hawks were part of the initial Harrisburg Invite to open the 2007 season under then head coach Chris Fromm.
Harrisburg opened the 2007 season with a 62-29 win over Gallatin County, as Reid Roper led the Bulldogs with a team-high eight points.
Gallatin County was 21-10 a year ago and have won two straight regional titles, but have also lost in the sectional semifinals to Meridian each of the past two seasons.
Harrisburg is back after going 28-6 a season ago and losing to eventual state champion Breese Mater Dei in the Class 2A Super Sectional at SIU.
The Hawks return a lineup that includes 6-foot-11 big man Andrew Drone, who has signed with Rice University for basketball, along with Patrick Lowe and Daine Hish.
"When I think of Gallatin County, I think of them playing Herrin in the Eldorado Holiday Tournament semifinals and took them down to a last second shot that would have got them into the championship of the EHT," Smithpeters added. "That's the kind of team they will be this year, coming back with their experience and skill people."
Harrisburg and Gallatin County last met up in the quarterfinals of the 2010 EHT when the Bulldogs knocked off Gallatin County 72-55 on its way to beating Massac County in the championship at Duff Kingston Gymnasium.
Harrisburg is 19-1 all time in the Harrisburg Invitational and have won the tournament outright four times and shared the other season. The Bulldogs' only loss was by 10 points to Carmi-White County in the 2009 season opener, marking the freshmen season for current Bulldogs, Tyler Smithpeters, Capel Henshaw and Ryne Roper, among others.
Michael Dann can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @spydieshooter.
H This year marks the sixth annual Harrisburg Bulldog Preview Tournament
H Harrisburg is 19-1 all time and has won the tourney four times outright and shared the other season. Only loss was by 10 points to Carmi to open the 2009 season. That was the last time Harrisburg has been under the .500 mark in basketball (97 games ago).
Page 2 of 2 - H Anna-Jonesboro and Goreville left to go to Goreville's new tournament. Mount Carmel could join the field next year, along with Eldorado.
H Gallatin County returns to the tournament field. The Hawks were part of the initial Harrisburg Tournament to open the 2007 season under then head coach Chris Fromm. Harrisburg opened the 2007 season with a 62-29 win over Gallatin County (That night Harrisburg got a team-high eight points from sophomore Reid Roper.)
H Most recent matchup came in the quarterfinals of the 2010 Eldorado Holiday Tournament when Harrisburg defeated Gallatin County 72-55 on its way to beating Massac County in the championship at Duff Kingston Gymnasium.
H Gallatin County was 21-10 a year ago and has won two straight regionals. The Hawks have lost in the sectional championship to Meridian each of the past two seasons.

"This shoe is fantastic. It's very very high but surprisingly comfortable. I haven't worn them besides around the house yet so long term comfort is still unknown. They do run very small. I typically wear a 6.5 but ordered a 7 based on reviews. I ALMOST needed a 7.5. Because the shoes are so high, the straps are a little hard to get around your foot. Once it's on though, you're good to go. I would order the next size up. Great shoe, great quality!"

Graduation Sharp - Gold Stunna
"First off, I have to thank DSW for the next day shipping. I had my graduation outfit and still needed shoes. Well, there they were calling my name...Diva come get me. :-) Love the shoes, comfy, comfy especially while standing for graduation and pics. I'd recommend adding some foot petals so your feet don't slide forward. But, I loved the shoe and everyone else did too. One lady said, I should've gotten the award for best shoe at graduation!One more thing. I wear a 8 1/2 but I ordered a 9 because normally for me when the heel is 5 inches I go up a half size for comfort."

Radio Radio
February 03 2011 05:00PM
Good afternoon, Oilers Nation. We have a very special announcement.
The powers that be are always looking for innovative ways to reach out to Oilers nation. Edmonton Oiler fans are not only plentiful but also possess a strong appetite for information on the copper and blue. It is an extremely powerful group of people, with research suggesting the visitors to our site are employed, enjoy a higher than average income and have very little fear of being caught spending countless hours on this site during work hours (we peak just before noon many days).
One day not long ago, Wanye asked the question "where do we go from here?" The response was "pay your tab and get out it's 2AM" but it started Wanye on a journey that would pay off. Eventually, he was struck with an idea: move Oilers Nation to radio! Oiler talk from Oilers Nation every week! Wanye bought a suit and took the #43 bus to the studios of Team 1260 Radio. Once there, he gave brand director Ross MacLeod an overview of his idea: a weekly talk show that married the Oilers, the Oilers Nation web masses and Team 1260 Radio.
Nation Radio was born. Saturdays Noon to 2pm starting February 12th on Team 1260 Radio Edmonton. Oilers, NHL talk and a chance to share your opinion. Every week.
This is Allan Mitchell. He will host the weekly, two-hour show. The show will rely heavily on interviews and give fans a chance to re-live the Oilers glorious past, take a close look at the Oilers now and spend time looking forward to what will be a wonderful hockey club in the future. The major stories in the NHL each week will also be featured in the show's second hour. I sat down with Mr. Mitchell earlier today in order to get more information about the show and its format.
- Lowetide: What are your qualifications for hosting the show?
- Allan Mitchell: I'd prefer an easier question.
- Lowetide: Okay, what are you going to be talking about each week?
- Allan Mitchell: The show will be a work in progress, but there are three main areas I'm hoping we can cover each week. First, the Oilers have a rich history and with each passing year there are more fans who don't know the legendary stories surrounding this team. The night Gretzky's plane took off for Winnipeg or Edmonton, or the 4,000 Boris Mironov stories that made the rounds back in the day. Lots of young Oiler fans don't know those stories, we'll make an effort to inform them while reminding old guys like me of the glory days. I bet there aren't 100 Oiler fans under 30 who know the legend of Tony Hand.
- Lowetide: Plus you'll do stories on the current team?
- Allan Mitchell: Sure. Actually, if you look at the current headlines on Oilers Nation over the last few days you'd get an excellent idea about the subject matter for the current team. Jason Gregor's Renney interview, or his insight on Dean Lombardi or even the painful Andrew Cogliano story. Or Robin Brownlee's item on the Kings being a possible trade partner for Steve Tambellini, that could be a portion of the show.
- Lowetide: Will there be a chance for calls and emails?
- Allan Mitchell: God, yes. Otherwise, you're going to be hearing my wife's apple crisp recipe by the third segment. It's excellent by the way.
- Lowetide: Will you get into the "math of the blogosphere?"
- Allan Mitchell: If you mean will we talk about the issues that come out of Devan Dubnyk's save percentage making Nikolai Khabibulin's look like the Oilers are playing the wrong guy, yes. Yes we will. But you don't have to bring a slide rule to turn on the radio every Saturday at noon.
- Lowetide: I asked this at the top, let me rephrase it: what makes you a good fit to host the show
- Allan Mitchell: I believe the powers that be might be thinking that my blog posts (here and at Lowetide) cause people to express their own well thought out opinions. I've always tried to make sure people were respectful and have been rewarded with splendid posts from countless people over the years. Seriously. I view the game of hockey differently than I did before the internet arrived at my house because of the people who post on blogs. Lawyers, guys who own car dealerships, men, women, children. The blogosphere is still horribly misunderstood and I think the MSM remains very cynical about it. There are some very smart people out there who will make intelligent comments if given the opportunity. Maybe this new forum will be that outlet and maybe MSM will take notice about the wealth of quality input coming from the Oilers fanbase. I'll be the host, but the guests, calls and emails will be the star of the show.
- Lowetide: Is this just an attempt to get a media pass to Oilers games?
- Allan Mitchell: O God no. I'm an outsider. I don't belong with the main stream media. I'm a fan.
Mr. Mitchell appeared relaxed and composed during the interview but did not offer to pay for his drink.
February 03 2011, 08:00PM
Congrats Lowetide,
I'm sure you might be doing a few "where are they now" segments.
I'd really like to hear from some of the old Oiler "enemies" as well. I got to thinking of this today while watching Murzyn and Peplinkski doing interviews for the upcoming outdoor classic. Neil Sheehy, Joel Otto, Tim Hunter, Billy Smith, Ron Hextall were all public enemy #1 at one time or another. These guys played when there were rivalries that go beyond anything we see these days.
There's quite a few guys like these. I'd love to hear their perspective on what a battle it was to play against some of the great Oiler teams of the past.
I look forward to the show.
February 03 2011, 08:02PM
@Petr's Jofa
I'll be listening from B.C. Fort St. John to your St. John's.
February 03 2011, 08:07PM
THIS IS AMAZING! Congrats to you Mr. Mitchell!! THE NATION ON RADIO!!!! This is gonna be epic!! Mmm...apple crisp.
February 03 2011, 08:12PM
With the build up this received i have to say ON delivered on that promise.
Since you're doing the retro thing, will there be any old codgers guest hosting like Jim Matheson or Rod Phillips, more Brownlee perhaps?
February 03 2011, 08:18PM
bookje is funny with the sell out gags! all these: - Podcast - Stan Weir doing the welcome bumper - glory stories (so much unknown!) - arguments about validity of statistical minutea! Are great ideas, sir. I am so IN! Knock 'em dead!
February 03 2011, 08:29PM
@Jonathan Willis
Ouch... too bad.. Fort St John is not a very nice place. If you like sushi though they have a great sushi place (believe it or not).
I've got family in FSJ, and have eaten the sushi there, and can vouch that is much better than you'd expect.
February 03 2011, 08:43PM
Excellent news sir!
I swear on a stack of bibles that I was mentioning to my wife not two days ago that I'd like to hear a LT radio show, and was going to ask about buying time on TEAM1260 and approaching you about doing it and selling the time.
*missed by that much*
Really look forward to listening.
Whereas you don't want a media pass to the games, I think that the TEAM1260 would be very, very well served by having you at the draft.
February 03 2011, 08:44PM
@Quicksilver ballet
Old codger?
Sounds like somebody needs a display of old man power. How about me tossing you around for fun at the TEAM studios? That's good radio.
February 03 2011, 08:50PM
Cool. I always enjoyed when Gregor or Stauffer had you on Lowetide/ Allan. I look forward to checking out the show.
February 03 2011, 09:01PM
In Retrospect I bashed FSJ .. I shouldn't. I've driven there many times because it has a "full sized" theater, lol. Great sushi.
If you have time though and are willing to drive in the daylight. Drive back towards Hudson's Hope. There is a look-out 20 minutes from FSJ it is amazing, the whole drive to HH is spectacular. Wildlife the likes you will never see other than in BC. The lookout in HH is also amazing. Then go back through Chetwynd and Dawson Creek, that drive also is very nice.
February 03 2011, 09:06PM
Will there be discussions about the Oilers 1st overall pick in 2011?( It might generate some debate your welcome)
Anyone watched RNH play live lately?
10 pts in 4 games this week..
Yes I have.
I've been plugging him since day 1. I watched him opening night, and a few games here and there. He's unbelievable and my pick for sure if we get the chance.
I don't care what people say about his size, he'll put on weight and when he does, look out.
What's this Red Deer, connection someone mentioned above LT?
February 03 2011, 09:08PM
I was born and raised in Fort St. John, and I've got a pretty good idea of the good ($, outdoors) and the bad (remote, small, dirty, though it's getting better).
And not only do they have a pretty good sushi place, but the Vietnamese restaraunt is shockingly good, if a little bit simple.
February 03 2011, 09:10PM
@ Lowetide:
I try to make it down a few times a year. If I'm in town, I'd be honoured to participate.
February 03 2011, 09:21PM
Love that idea. I was just thinking that weekends on 1260 sucked, with all the Fox guys talking college basketball (just shoot me). Now for a brief window, something interesting will be on the radio in Edmonton Saturday afternoons. I'm on board with that.
February 03 2011, 09:23PM
I worked in Red Deer in the early 80s. CKGY (the country station) and CKRD (the top 40 station) for a couple of years. Played records at night over at Billy Bob's, met my wife there. Love Red Deer. Saw Ray Podloski play for the Rustlers there too, loved that old barn.
Is Patty's still there? That restaurant fed all the radio people back in the day. Inexpensive and lots, plus open all the time. :-)
Oh right on, I didn't know that. Then again I wasnt born until 85 (sorry if I just mad you feel old). Im sure my parents would recognize the name though.
Billy Bobs is still awesome, although I don't get out to the bar much with my work schedule.
Yes Patty's is still around. If I remember correctly it used to be on the north end in the same building as the bar Branlys. I could be wrong though, either way its not there anymore, but they still have a location open in Gasoline Ally. Still inexpensive good food 24hrs :D.
February 03 2011, 09:51PM
@ Robin Brownlee
Wouldn't that make good TV?
February 03 2011, 10:33PM
LT I've learned a ton from you over the years, you helped raised the level of discourse on each of the messageboards and blogs you participared on, I'm sure u will do the same on sports radio as well. This couldn't happen to a more deserving person. Congrats.
February 03 2011, 10:43PM
Good luck Lowetide, however you're normally too polite on ON to make for an interesting radio personality if its the same. Plus, rebuttal of points with #'s is going to be boring and confusing.
February 03 2011, 10:50PM
~ Hey LT, on your first show you should interview stan lee so we can learn more about this new guardian project*
*thanks the highest of powers, sir wanye, that there is no negative props
February 03 2011, 11:03PM
Congratulations Lowetide, been reading your other blog for years while posting very little.
I look forward to the guests you bring in. I hope you won't let the fact JW is in FT. St. John stop you from interviewing him perhaps once a month on the phone for his take on various players and other issues he perhaps wrote about that week.
In addition, it will be interesting to hear if you interview the fine folk from Copper N Blue although I am not sure if they can refrain from swearing long enough to have an entire conversation on the radio.
In addition, I am particulary hopeful that you will give some radio time to Messrs. Staples and MacCurdey who in my opinion have most Oilers issues nailed more accurately than many more full time local sports analysts.
February 03 2011, 11:08PM
This is great. Any chance the show will be released as a podcast ?
February 04 2011, 12:59AM
This is excellent news. The TEAM needed more local content on the weekends and I can't think of a better way to get that.
Congrats to you and the Nation staff*
*by staff I of course mean the magic 8 ball that Wanye consults before every decision
February 04 2011, 03:21AM
Great news LT! Do Team1260 broadcast on their website (and will it be available in the UK? I know that 630CHED is but not sure about the team). Being a UK hockey fan I know all about Tony Hand (well, a fair amount), even though I'm only 22 - absolute legend and such a shame he didn't want to stay in NA, could have been Britain's first born and bred hockey star. If the show isn't available in the UK, I agree with other posters that I hope you make podcasts available as I can't wait to listen in. You are the voice of reason on the Oilogosphere and, while every blogger has their detractors, the most respected.
As others have said, it would be fantastic if you could get bring together the likes of C&B, Cult of Hockey (Bruce McCurdy particularly is doing fantastic work for both sites), BDHS (although you might have to persuade him to leave out some of his personal-life stories ;)). I would say Coming Down The Pipe too but they already have their own spot, and OilField Hockey would have been good for the Barons updates but they've packed in at least temporarily. For Baron's updates I'd recommend regular airtime for Neal Livingston at C&B, he's great with his updates.
Once again, congrats LT.
February 04 2011, 08:10AM
Will the Saturday show be available on Podcast I am not available on Saturday?
Awesome, Allan!! Congrats!! I can't wait for the podcast!
Since Souray no longer rates weekday airtime, maybe we could call him up on a Nation Saturday and ask him what his plans are now that his hockey career is over.
Seriously, good stuff LT. I look forward to hearing you in person.
Hot tip: If anyone calls in and starts referring to themselves in the third person when offering their opinions, you'd be well-served to just hang up right away.
February 04 2011, 09:53AM
Old codger?
Sounds like somebody needs a display of old man power. How about me tossing you around for fun at the TEAM studios? That's good radio.
Bellow that crusty exterior of yours Robin is a man that cares deeply about the color of the walls in your home. we know how much you love your fung shway...but if you're inviting me to the Palatial 1260 studios, sure, i'll bring the pizza, you bring the pops.
....are you still going to make it for your 10 am mani/pedicure appt tommorow Robin?
LT's still covering the costs, correct?
February 04 2011, 11:16AM
Hey maybe this lead to a real job someday!! By the way, what do you want to be when you're finished growing out... er.... up?? Seriously, congrats!!
Congratulations, LT! I will be sure to tune in.
Hope you manage to have a little impact on the MSM. Patience and Logic are great weapons.
For any of you that may want to tune in using the interweb, http://cfrn.player.amri.ca/
February 04 2011, 12:21PM
Wow great interview Lowetide! Although that Allan Mitchell guy looks like he has a face for radio and print. :)
Congrats LT. Lookin forward. So is this something you were looking for (to take a break from ad sales & jump back on air) or did Wanye have to really twist your arm? I had assumed that if you wanted to be on the air before this, you could have been.
"Congrats Mr Lowtide Mitchell! All those years working in the radio station & now you get to have the "glory" job ;)"
aka known as the lowecash side.
Two more hours without fox 'personalities' screeching like they're in a bar everyone would avoid. Cool.
February 04 2011, 01:16PM
This Oilersnation radio program, will it be a regular season/playoff thing or is it intended to be a 50'ish week a year show?
Would be great if it expanded to a 3 hr program in time for next season, be nice to have something to listen to till Hockeycentral starts at 3 on Sportsnet.
Any truth to the rumour swirling that guests appearing on Oilersnation program will receive a 4oz bottle of copper and blue Glitter?
February 04 2011, 02:04PM
Congrats LT. Quite an evolution over time...I look forward to it.
Can't resist the Costello reference in the title:
"I wanna bite the hand that feeds me I wanna bite that hand so badly I want to make them wish they'd never seen me."
February 06 2011, 03:43PM
Make sure Team 1260 throws a podcast up there!
(can never listen Saturdays)

Guidelines aim to clarify treatment of pre-diabetes
The guidelines recommend prescribing metformin or acarbose to high-risk patients, such as those with cardiovascular disease or worsening glycemia; statins to lower LDL cholesterol to 100 mg/dL; and ACE/ARB inhibitors to reach target blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg. Patients should undergo glucose and microalbuminuria testing annually and have fasting plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1C and lipids tests every six months, the guidelines state.
Physicians often have little success getting patients to embrace lifestyle changes, such as following a low-fat diet and exercising daily, as recommended in the guidelines. Will the new recommendations encourage more use of medications to control symptoms in patients at risk for diabetes? What are you doing in your practice?

Why not use A1C levels to define prediabetes? (6.0-6.5)
When will Endocrinology send glucose tolerance torture to the bins of history?
Why the low fat diet? Why not a 100 gram carbohydrate diet? Low fat is high carb by definition.
- Stacey Butterfield said...
Dr. Castello, you make several good points. Since I'm working on an article about prediabetes treatment right now, I am particularly interested in the expert diabetes' community (i.e., the ADA and AACE) seeming lack of interest in low-carb diets. Any ideas about why that is? And does anyone out there have a defense of the glucose tolerance test?
- said...
Dr. Castello & Stacey:
Being a Fellow of both ACP and ACE, I think I can try to bridge the understanding of pre-diabetes.
It is a misconception that Endocrinologists don't use low-carb diets; quite the contrary in clinical practice. We just don't prescribe the Atkins-type diets that are loaded with saturated fats & cholesterol and are ketogenic (bad for diabetics!). BTW, low-fat is not necessarily high-carb. We suggest low-carb, low saturated fat, high fiber diets. The pecentage of carbs depends on the activity level of the individual. We permit mono-unsaturated fats, just not saturated fats.
As far as OGTT i concerned, I have not done more than 3 in over 9 years of Endocrine practice. What is missing from the ACE paper is that one can use Random Plasma Glucose of 141-200 as a criteria for IGT, in addition to 2-hr OGTT. Clearly glucose tolerance tests have their value, mainly in screening for Gestational Diabetes, which (in the appropriate circumstances) can be a precursor for type 2 diabetes.
Since pre-diabetes is composed of either IFG and/or IGT, and intervention for IFG is different from IGT, it is very important to determine what type of pre-diabetes a patient has. Hence the need to screen with post-load glucose value.
Hope this answers the questions.
- Stacey Butterfield said...
Dr. Cavale,
Thank you. Your explanations perfectly answered my questions, although I am now curious about why the ACE did not suggest random plasma glucose, since it seems like it would usually be the most efficient, effective test.

To the scanlators of Naruto chapter 364.
There's apparently some who are stating that you guys have made a MISTRANSLATION on this chapter, in the page where "Tobi" says "my power....uchiha madara's power"
There's claims that other people translated this as being "the power of me, uchiha madara"
This is important because we are having a LOT of debate on this whole new development and that part in particular has been the source of a huge heated debate. So I would appreciate it if you guys would take another look at the translation in case it's not correct.
Personally my vote goes on you guys, who are experienced at this sort of thing, than some random translator. But in all fairness we all make mistakes so I'll just wait and see what you guys respond.
Instead of deleting this thread please give us a response and move it over to the Naruto discussion forum (maybe even stickied) so that it's clear to everyone which translation is the proper one.

The airline is issuing mobile boarding passes within its iPhone app.
Bill Siwicki
JetBlue Airways has begun issuing paperless mobile boarding passes through its iPhone app in a bid to rid itself of paper and heighten convenience for consumers, the airline says.
JetBlue customers who check in for a flight in the iPhone app can elect to have a paperless boarding pass. The app generates a QR code, a form of two-dimensional bar code, that airline workers can scan at gates in eight airport, including Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, San Francisco and San Juan. The airline will expand paperless boarding passes to more airports throughout 2013, it says.
"The availability of and demand for electronic boarding passes has increased significantly over the past few years along with the introduction of more advanced smartphones into the market, so we felt that it was important to offer this easy-to-use product to our customers," says Jonathan Stephen, head of mobile and emerging technologies at JetBlue Airways. "Travelers can produce a JetBlue mobile boarding pass upon successful completion of checking into their flight."
JetBlue is working on an integration with Apple Inc.'s mobile wallet, Passbook, which would allow customers to store their mobile boarding passes in the wallets on their Apple devices. It also says mobile boarding passes will be available through its Android app in a few weeks.
Other airlines, including American Airlines, United and U.S. Airways, offer mobile boarding passes.
In addition to its iPhone and Android apps, which together have been downloaded nearly two million times, the airline says, JetBlue offers an m-commerce site and text message program. Stephen reveals the company is at work on a tablet app.
"We do have a tablet strategy in place and are looking forward to offering this product to our customers in the near future," Stephen says. "In fact, just last fall, we launched a program called Think Up on Facebook where we invited our customers to submit their ideas for the JetBlue tablet app. This program ran through the fall into the winter and we received hundreds of submissions."

Great shoes
"These fit my 4 year old just right. I was nervous the center toe piece would be uncomfortable but it's not. She wears them all the time and for hours at a time with no complaint."
By: ShaynaD
Location: Brooklyn, NY
April 15, 2013
"These shoes are ridiculously cute. They have a cushiony padding at the bottom which make them extremely easy and comfortable for my 2 year old to wear. She can wear these all day without complaining or wanting to take them off. The flowers are adorable and aren't too big or too small. The shoe is true to size. The piece that goes between the toes is wrapped in a smooth leather so that it is not piercing into my little ones soft feet. The shoe is also easy to clean (wipe to clean), and of course due to the color, can be worn with many outfits.A definite MUST buy!"

But it makes sense. Remember the land of waves arc? The mafia boss hired ninja to stop the bridge from being contructed and bringing business to the island. The only way the Land of Waves could fight back against the mafia was to lie to Konoha about the situation that the ninja were being hired for.
which one has more authority over the other, hokage or the fire country feudal lord. which one works for who? ...or do they just have some sort of equal partnership?
i believe but can be proven wrong, that in the manga there is no feudal lord
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
isnt the hidden village are deployed on some country are because they are hired to do that??
if that true... why dont we see the feudal lord have something to do with all of this?? can we expect the feudal lord are actually have some connection with all of this war sometime in the future??
"Either Die as a Hero... or live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain..."
"Knowledge is power"
The ninjas act as the military force of their parent country. Therefore since the Kage controls the army like a big general, or whatever you call that in your, he is in charge of that army. Though its never really shown he has to submit some work to the Lord. But since that really indicates nothing helpful to the manga, I guess the author left that detail out.
Nothing really dictates they will get involved. I assume since this is war, its left to the Kages to handle it. And if they can't handle it the Lords can supply their personal army if need be.

OXFORD – Cody Core catches the football. That would seem to be a repetitive statement when discussing a wide receiver, but some do it better than others.
For Ole Miss, Core, a true freshman from Auburn, Ala., has been impressive in camp.
He hasn't been impressive enough, though, for any playing time promises from his head coach.
Core is working to get into a rotation that could be as high as eight in number when the Rebels start relying on the up-tempo offense.
"Cody has shown flashes," Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze says. "He's swimming right now when we're going fast, as are the young tailbacks, but he'll be fine. He'll help us get up to that six, seven or eight (number)."
If Core hasn't truly distinguished himself among the freshman, defensive lineman Issac Gross has.
Freeze didn't hesitate when asked who has been his most consistent freshman.
It's not surprising for that answer to come from the defensive side. That's where most plays have been made in Camp Wilderness, and Gross has shown a quickness and work ethic that endears him to coaches.
The reality is if either Cody Core or Issac Gross have to play big roles on this football team then it's just another danger sign, a reminder of where the program is, the wilderness of which Freeze so often spoke in the off-season.
A wise old coach once said you lose a game for every true freshman you start. I haven't done the math there, but it's not hard to draw the connection between inexperience and wins and losses.
Charting the freshmen is a favorite past-time this time of year. They are the hope for the future, and hope sells.
But the practices, meetings and all that go into August are about competing in the present.
Along those lines, the offense has taken steps the last couple of days. There's not enough consistency among quarterbacks Barry Brunetti and Bo Wallace to declare a leader, and Freeze insists that both will play – at least in the early part of the season.
Practice these days is a mixed bag of results, good plays and bad ones from both quarterbacks. Freeze has criticized their decisions and has encouraged when possible.
Those decisions have often been made on the fly after breakdowns behind a line that has yet to put it all together.
That time, though, may be coming. The baby steps on offense have come as Freeze cites better protection from both the offensive line and running backs.
The improvement of the week will be tested Saturday in the first major scrimmage of camp.
A strong showing by the offense against a defense that has been pretty good through first week could be the first step down the path leading out of the wilderness.

Students Get Involved: In Arkansas, a Healthy Garden Means a Healthy School
These cabbages would be the pride of any gardener, but in this case the gardeners are eighty 2nd and 4th grade students from Junction City Elementary in Junction City, Arkansas. They are among the 4,000 students in 54 schools across the country participating in Healthy Gardens, Healthy Youth (HGHY) – a project of USDA's People's Garden School Pilot Project.
With its southern climate, the schools in Arkansas got a head start on building their gardens and planting crops. On this day, Arkansas HGHY Principal Investigator Laura Connerly and project leads Janet Carson and Julie Treat of the University of Arkansas, along with HGHY Project Director Brad Gaolach and Martha Aitken from Washington State University, watched the students enthusiastically harvest cabbage, beets, basil, and green beans – pounds and pounds of them.
Directing the harvest was University of Arkansas Extension horticulture agent, Robin Bridges, and 4-H Program Assistant, Cynthia Ford, who have taken the Junction City students step by step through building, planning, planting and now, harvesting their garden. HGHY has enjoyed the full participation of the Junction City Elementary staff from Principal Rebekah West, to the four classroom teachers – Jan Wilson, Dee McKinnon, Connie Hammett and Patricia Murray – to the cafeteria and custodial teams, providing a rich environment for the students to learn about healthy eating.
