Interview: The Doors' Robby Krieger Discusses Some of the Best Tracks on Reissued 'L.A. Woman' Album
The Doors were at a low point in December 1970, when they gathered to begin recording their sixth studio album.
They had been banned from performing after singer Jim Morrison's prosecution for exposing himself at a Miami concert on March 1, 1969, effectively killing their stage career.
Their previous album, Morrison Hotel, released in February 1970, had failed to break out. The group was enveloped in a general sense of doom and decline.
"We were pretty far down. People were saying we were over," guitarist Robby Krieger recalls. "We couldn't play anywhere. Morrison Hotel hadn't done much. Jim was getting fat. Nothing really seemed to be happening, and we didn't have much material when we started the sessions."
Then things really started to get bad. "Before we even started recording, our producer walked out on us," Krieger says.
That was Paul Rothchild, who had been behind the boards for each of the Doors' first five studio albums. During preproduction in the band's rehearsal space—where they would record the album to maintain a more informal feel—Rothchild, frustrated by what he heard, determined that the Doors were running into creative dead ends. He wished them well and walked out. Engineer Bruce Botnick took over the reins, and that low moment became a catalyst for one of the band's landmark albums: L.A. Woman.
In celebration of the disc's 40th anniversary, Elektra has released a new two-CD version of it that includes alternate takes of album tracks like "Love Her Madly," "Riders on the Storm" and the title song, as well as a never-before-heard original, "She Smells So Nice," recording during the sessions. Much to the surprise of Krieger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek and drummer John Densmore, Botnick discovered the track, a loose blues jam that segues into B.B. King's "Rock Me Baby," while reviewing the L.A. Woman tapes for the reissue.
"I think we came up with an album so loose and cool that it has stood up for 40 years because there was no pressure," Krieger says. "We figured we were screwed, so we started having fun again. We were so far gone that it was like a weight was lifted when Paul left. He was a great producer, and you can't argue with the stuff we did with him, but he was always a very difficult guy to work for. He was a perfectionist, and we were looking forward to having the dictator off our back and just having some fun recording for once, which is exactly what happened.
"Before that time, we probably weren't ready to do something like that—we really needed Paul. But after five albums we all knew how to record and what a good take sounded like, and we ended up recording everything in a couple of takes, maintaining a very loose vibe and energy throughout. It was great the way it came together, with everyone chipping in and contributing."
L.A. Woman was released in April 1971, but what might have been a new start proved instead to be a farewell. Just three months later, Morrison died while in Paris. "It's just too bad that what we tapped into on L.A. Woman didn't last longer," Krieger says. "Jim had been pretty uninvolved in some of the albums, but he was right in there with us on this, and that's a big part of what made it so special."
To commemorate L.A. Woman's anniversary and reissue, Krieger shared his memories of some of the album's greatest moments.
"L.A. Woman"
"I've always considered this the quintessential Doors song. It's just magical to me, and the way it came about was fantastic. We just started playing and Jim started coming up with those words, and it just poured forth. Jim was sitting in the bathroom, which we were using as an iso booth, singing. I don't know how he came up with that whole concept on the spot like that, but he did. You would think that would have been a poem that he had written before, as many of our songs were, but it's not. That was just written on the spot.
"It's very natural and sums up a lot of our best qualities. All the interplay with Ray just happened. We really understood each other at that point. We could anticipate where one another were headed and just play."

Day of the Triffids. Interesting sci-fi flick from the 60s.
I just realized that Youtube is the place to go if you want to watch all of those 1980s nuclear war movies. So I spent a couple of days watching every one I could think of:
The Day After (1983) - this is clearly the most famous of this mini-genre (Cold War Nuclear Disaster film), but it's probably the most unrealistic in terms of the intensity of the attack. Still a few good moments in it and it was definitely scary enough for me as a kid. As the movie progresses and gets more and more depressing, you can see that the filmmakers must have been getting worried because they tried to end the movie on a somewhat positive note (focusing on human compassion in the final scene). I remember watching this when it debuted on TV. I was 10 years old and almost everyone I knew was totally convinced that the film would become a reality within the next few years. It's hard to put myself back into that mindset, but I spent my entire childhood with the threat of nuclear war hanging over our heads.
Threads (1984) - this is the British equivalent of The Day After and it's much more intense, more graphic and goes into much more detail on just how ****ed we'd all be if a worldwide nuclear war did take place. Unlike The Day After, Threads makes no attempt whatsoever to end the movie on a positive note. I also watched this one when I was a kid (I think it ran a couple of different times on PBS) and I can honestly say that the nuclear attack scenes in this movie have stuck with me for my entire life. Even watching it now, you can just feel the panic building as the attack gets closer.
When the Wind Blows (1988) - an animated film about an elderly British couple who are caught up in the aftermath of nuclear war. What sets this one apart is how the couple is totally clueless when it comes to the seriousness of a nuclear attack. They keep making references to what they did during the Blitzkrieg in WW2 and they never really catch on that this is a completely different kind of war. Again, no attempt to end the movie on a happy note. In fact, the cluelessness of the characters is somewhat humorous and endearing throughout the film, but makes the ending so much more tragic, because they are totally unaware of just how bleak their situation is.
Testament (1983) - I think this movie was originally released in theaters. It's also about a family dealing with the radioactive fallout of a nuclear war. This was another one that I watched as a kid and it has stuck with me long into adulthood as well. I find it haunting how the death toll keep rising and each death become less and less significant and less traumatic as he characters start to become numb to everything around them. However, even though most of the characters are dead by the end of the film, it still tries to end the movie on a positive, uplifting note. As a result, the last scene in the film really feels tacked on and out of place.
Countdown to Looking Glass (1984) - an early "mockumentary" style film which focused on one news station having to report on an escalating world nuclear crisis. I had never heard of this film before yesterday. They were definitely trying to make the potential seriousness of the story seem more real by using actual footage from other world crises. Maybe it would have seemed more groundbreaking 28 years ago, when there weren't so many 24-hour news networks, the internet, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
The Giant Gila Monster. Boy, you gotta love the 50s and 60s cheesy drive-in monster movies.
The Fatal Hour. (1940). Karloff the great plays a Chinese detective helping police solve a murder.
Airplane! Don't Call Me Sally Edition. A classic, nuff said.
p.s. I picked the wrong week to give up sniffing glue.
I watched The Godfather Part II (love this movie! - it's set as Cuba falls to Castro and prior to Kennedy being set up for assasination). The spread of the Mafia from New York to Chicago, Florida, and Las Vegas is explored. Gangsters are so awesome!
St. Valentine's Day Massacre - Al Capone defeats Morang (by dressing his killers as cops - a plot device borrowed for The Dark Knight) and the Northside Gang goes down (formerly the O'Banion's who once drew the unwanted attention of Indiana Jones). This movie is allegedly based on the exact true account of the events in 1929, however.
BTW, Frank Nitty doesn't die around those years, as seen in The Untouchables (Kevin Costner's "Ness" throws him off the roof of the courthouse building - not true actually). Nitty runs the gang while Capone calls the orders from prison after Ness gets him. The St. Valentine's Day Massacre takes place before Ness got on the scene however. Capone is the protagonist you are rooting for and Morang and Chicago's Northside Gang are the bad guys. This movie is set before Megatron and Sentinel Prime take over the city in the future.
Hoffa - a movie I've rewatched frequently. Jack Nicholson plays Hoffa and Danny DeVito plays his right hand man as they make a deal with the Mafia that builds Las Vegas. True story as well.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
With 2-1B at Wizard World I thought I'd watch Chasing Amy (for the opening con scene), good call JJB!

This post is all about curiosity… and I should say right up front that I am calling no one out, nor am I saying this is right or wrong.
I have noticed a lot of blogs out there and other web sites, both Scout related and non Scout related that seem to be making an attempt at monetizing their sites. Again, I suppose I don't have a problem with this, I don't do it and won't do my blog for money, but it seems that there are folks out there making money for nothing.
Now you may say.. "Well Scoutmaster Jerry, you make money from the podcast.. right?" No, I do not make a penny from the podcast. The relationships that we (PTCMedia) have with our sponsors are such that it pays for the website domain and the bandwidth. We get nothing… not even promotional material.
On one web site that I follow the individual that hosts actually even put a Amazon.com wish list on his blog. I have never asked if he has received anything from it, but thought to myself on a couple of occasions that this would be a great way to get me some more gear. But I have not been able to get myself to beg.
So I am curious… is there money to be made? Do you think it's a good idea? Bad idea? Would you ever fulfill someones Amazon wish list? note: If so… let it be me!!! Joking… kinda.
There is a guy that I follow on Hammockforums.net and Youtube. He is a backpacker and hammock camper and has some real entertaining videos out there. I don't think he monetizes his Youtube stuff, but man oh man he gets lots of stuff to test and show from the followers of his media. This I could get into.
So let me know what you think, like I said, I can't bring myself to doing this.. but want to know how you all feel.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Saving money on your business overhead is like putting money directly into your pocket. As a small business owners are always looking for ways to make the most of their budget so they can classify as much of their revenues as possible as profit. As you probably know, cash flow is what is going to keep your start-up above water. To get more cash flow, you need to either sell more or cut back on expenses, and when you do not have a large book-of-business, cutting back is the most practical option.
Every business owner knows the basics of reducing overhead, but sometimes it takes a bit of creativity to reduce spending without compromising business solvency.

Reality Check: School Board Member Supports Walker In Ad
Walker Runs First Recall-Related Ad
MADISON, Wis. - Gov. Scott Walker is the first to come out swinging in advertising for recall elections in the Madison area.
In the first ad of the recalls, the governor tries to make the case for the bill that arguably started it all, through a school board member who doesn't explain her school's whole budget situation, WISC-TV reported.
"We were worried the state budget was going to mean less money for our school district," says a woman in the ad, identified as "Karin, School Board Member."
The woman is Karin Rajnicek, who was elected to the Waukesha School Board in April, bumping an incumbent member off the board. Her website touted that she was the only fiscal conservative in the race and the only candidate independent of the teachers union.
"But Gov. Walker, he gave us options that reduced our biggest costs," said Rajnicek in the ad.
WISC-TV found this needs clarification.
The "options" Rajnicek is referring to is Wisconsin Act 10, the law that says schools no longer have to bargain with teachers over benefits.
To analyze the ad's claims, it's important to get a fuller picture of Waukesha's budget situation.
The district was facing a $9 million budget hole, primarily from reductions in the revenue cap -- meaning it could spend $550 less per student. The district had about $3.6 million in stimulus money saved from 2010 to help out. Then the district went to the teachers. Having teachers contribute 5.8 percent to their pension and 12 percent to their health care got the district about $5 million is savings.
Then about 130 teachers retired, getting the district an additional $2 million in savings when the retiring teachers were replaced with new teachers.
Did these "options" mitigate all the cuts the district faced? No, clearly the federal stimulus money got the district part of the way there, as did a few other minor cuts to transportation and small programs, according to Superintendent Todd Gray.
But did the choices reduce the district's biggest costs? Yes.
Rajnicek goes on to say in the ad that those costs were reduced "so that we could put more money back into our classrooms."
WISC-TV found this claim also needs clarification.
The superintendent said the increased contributions primarily helped plug the budget hole, but the district was able to add some extra funding to supplies and technology in the classroom by about $400,000.
It should also be noted that Waukesha received a $10.4 million court settlement this year for a bad investment deal. The superintendent said the money will be used to pay back debt from the bad deal, but it won't help the district's finances now; Gray said that money will instead help in future budgets.
While this is currently the only recall-related ad running in Madison, WisPolitics.com reported that the liberal Greater Wisconsin Committee will start airing ads this week. Two conservative groups have spent more than $1 million statewide on other ads in support of the governor.

Howard W. Hoffman
MADISON/WAUNAKEE- Howard W. Hoffman, age 88, passed away peacefully surrounded by family after a short illness on Sunday, March 17, 2013. He was born on September 5, 1924, the son of John T. and Christine (Kessenich) Hoffman.
He worked from age 20 to age 65 for Business Comstock Seed and Feed Co., of which he became co-owner. He was a member of the VFW's weekly card playing crowd as well as hunting, fishing, and outdoor organizations such as Ducks Unlimited. Howard was an avid bird watcher who enjoyed all outdoor activities, such as trapping, skeet shooting, hunting and fishing, both locally and on Lake Michigan, to as far away as Idaho and well up into Canada. Many trophies and awards from these excursions filled his house. He followed the Braves, Brewers, Packers, UW and high school sports teams.
Howard was fond of hosting family gatherings at his home, playing sheepshead and euchre for many happy hours. But he held all the Queens and Jacks when it came to children, where he always made even the youngest feel listened to and appreciated. He enjoyed coaching them in his outdoor interests and helping them along in life with sound guidance. He mentored young hunters from early on until now.
He will not only be remembered for his many kindnesses and no-nonsense advice, but also for his selfless devotion to family, quick wit, storytelling and jokes. Our world is so much better for having known him!
He is survived by his sisters, Genevieve Engel and Cherie (John) Rogers-Neupert; brothers-in-law, Jerry Kessenich, and Edward Wronkowicz; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Joseph and his wife, Geraldine; sisters, Mary Kessenich, and Jane Wronkowicz; and brother-in-law, Bill Engel.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, March 22, 2013, at ST. PETER CATHOLIC CHURCH, 5001 N. Sherman Ave., with Msgr. Charles Schluter presiding. Burial will follow at St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Cemetery. A visitation will be held from 10 a.m. until the time of Mass at the church on Friday.

Hey all… this may put you over the edge with my blog.. but I refuse to keep asking till I get what Scouting needs.. Money!
A few weeks back I asked for donations for our Council's fundraiser "OVER THE EDGE". There are two things at play here. First and foremost the Boy Scouts get much needed money in the bank. That money will assist Scouts that can't seem to put the funds together in getting camp. It will improve our Scout camps and help Scouters like me get the needed support from the Council service center. Second, and maybe more important, if I raise the money I get to rappel off the 2nd tallest building in the state! I will get to Go Over the Edge for Scouting!
Now, here is the shameless part.. I ain't to proud to beg! I have only raised $635 so far.. I need $1,800 more! I need your help.
I want to thank all of you that have already donated and supported the fundraiser. I really appreciate it. But folks $635 does not get me over that edge.
If you would like.. go ahead and click this link right now and help me out… go on.. I'll wait right here… OVER THE EDGE.
Ok.. for those of you that just clicked that link and donated.. Thank you very much. For the rest of you, I hope you can find it in your heart to help.
I am running out of time.. the event is June 29th and all donations need to be in to the Council by early June.
I'm not asking.. I'm begging! Help a Scoutmaster go over the edge!
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Cause I'm Shameless
Hey all… this may put you over the edge with my blog.. but I refuse to keep asking till I get what Scouting needs.. Money!

Head of Sept. 11 fund to speak, April 27
Posted April 23, 2004; 01:51 p.m.
A lecture on "The 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund: Private Grief and Public Compensation" will be presented by Kenneth Feinberg at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 27, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Feinberg was appointed special master of the fund by the U.S. attorney general in 2001. It was established by the federal government to provide compensation to victims' families for lost wages, pain and suffering, and other monetary damages in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Feinberg developed and promulgated the regulations governing the administration of the fund and administered all aspects of the program.
One of the nation's leading experts in mediation and alternative dispute resolution, he is founder and managing partner of The Feinberg Group. He has served as court-appointed special settlement master in major litigation involving Agent Orange and asbestos. He also was one of the three arbitrators selected to determine the fair market value of the original Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination and was one of two arbitrators selected to determine the allocation of legal fees in the Holocaust slave labor litigation.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Program in Law and Public Affairs .

The Jets also hired Marty Mornhinweg as their offensive coordinator.What do you think of that junc?
If I were a Jets fan, my concerns would be:
Sanchez running a West Coast offense ------- Cue the Vick to the Jets rumors
Mornhinweg O's have had a lot of turnovers
How much of Mornhinweg's success in Philly was because of Andy Reid
Did I mention Sanchez running a West Coast offense?

aquaistic Delusion = "Elite"
Reality: a Sh*t Samwich with 54 weeks of edible meat in the middle.
If the Dolphins went to the AFC Title Game in 2009 and 2010 I wouldn't call them elite. I don't even think the 1984 team was elite. The only elite Dolphins team ever was the one in 1972 and 1973.
I don't even give a **** about winning divisions. As long as a team makes the playoffs and wins the Super Bowl, they have a chance at being elite.
Obviously Junc continues to insist the Jets are elite, or were elite, b/c that's the only thing he has to cling to. Hell it'd be the same if all of us here claimed the Dolphins were elite in a 4 year span the same as him. Imagine the tables being turned?
So the Jets hire a guy who's experience is geared more toward cap management then personnel evaluation and hire a WCO OC under a head coach who has the philosophy and personnel for a ground and pound scheme. Brilliance at its best.
As LMAO-worthy the Jest Junkie's conveniently parsed definition is of "elite," even more rib-tickling is his definition that whatever residual aura existed from a mediocre team being gifted into the playoffs, (then beating a dead team walking over its last 7 games and doing enough to lose to most any team other than one having a choking kicker before ultimately being humiliated in the final half by the team whose decision was justified letting them in) negated the stench of the 2010 team's mediocrity.
Well I guess considering that the 08 Fins orchestrated the greatest one-time turnaround in the history of the league, actually resulting in hardware, and that through week 14 we also were a .500 team (unfortunately not facing teams that took knees afterwards cause they considered us meaningless games too), then maybe we should at least consider the possibility, as ridiculous and aquaistic as it seems, that the 09-11 jest were "elite" if the Superfan admits that by his own definition, the 08-09 Miami Dolphins were "EPIC." Cuz certainly there was more "epic" legitimacy to us than "elite" to the jest by his definition!

Early education needs to start in fall of 2013
Representing 11 licensed early care and education programs in Monroe County and 743 children, we want to express our thanks to the leadership in both the Mississippi House of Representatives and Senate for their acknowledgment of the importance of early childhood education. The passage of HB 781 and 2395 provide additional opportunities to increase high quality learning experiences for 4-year-olds in our state. The model of community collaboration outlined in the bills is one that is recognized nationally and has a record of proven success.
We have worked for many years to improve the quality of the programs we provide in our communities and continue to "grow" the quality aspect that is present in everything we do for our children and their families. It is for that reason we feel compelled to write and express our thanks, but to also outline what we feel should be present in the final version of the bill that is signed by the governor.
We feel:
• The program should start in school year 2014 with the 2013-2014 year spent in developing the guidance and assessments needed to support a successful program.
• A uniform standard of quality that all participating members of any pre-kindergarten collaborative should meet be included in legislation.
• Funding for the programs should be at the highest level as defined in SB 2396.
Many of us have committed our lives to educating young children and are pleased to join in community collaborations that will expand our work and improve the lives of all citizens in the years to come.

text: A coalition of diverse groups is launching a campaign to raise public awareness about pollution they say is threatening Maine's lobster population. The Maine Lobster Council, Ready Seafood Co., the Maine Restaurant Association, the University of Maine's Darling Marine Center and the Natural Resources Council of Maine are holding a press conference Tuesday to announce the campaign. They say that carbon pollution from cars, power plants and elsewhere is warming and acidifying ocean waters, posing a threat to the Gulf of Maine lobster population. Lobster by far is Maine's most valuable fishery. Lobstermen last year caught a record 126 million pounds valued at $339 million to fishermen.

José Andrés, Michael Mina, Charlie Palmer, Eric Ripert, and Masa Takayama—each nominated the chef he believes to be the most gifted of the next generation.
Click on the dinner plates to meet each of the talented nominees, and then click on The Competition plate to read about each exciting dinner as they vied for the title of New Culinary Master.
Robb Report's continual search for the most talented up-and-coming culinary artists moved to another level last year with our inaugural Culinary Masters Competition. We assembled a panel of five renowned master chefs—José Andrés, Michael Mina, Charlie Palmer, Eric Ripert, and Masa Takayama—and asked each of them to select the chef whom he believes to be the most gifted among the industry's emerging stars. Their nominations as were surprising and exciting as you would imagine: five chefs from around the world who have the intellect and ability to shape the future of fine dining and cuisine.
Last fall, the nominees showcased their work in a series of command performances in Los Angeles and New York City: Each chef prepared a five-course meal that reflected the breadth and depth of his or her achievements in the kitchen. These amazing repasts were paired with some of the world's finest wines, which the winemakers and chefs specially selected to accompany each dish. Each dinner was also a benefit for the charity of the master chef's choosing.
During these gatherings, each master chef discussed his reasons for choosing his nominee, as well as his own philosophies of food, life, and living well. Equally important, the 50 judges at each dinner—a select group of Robb Report readers and editors—shared their own experiences and impressions and, no doubt, made some new friends. However, our task remained a serious one: To decide which of these remarkable nominees would be introduced in the January issue of Robb Report as the New Culinary Master for 2013.
We invite you to join us as well. Please scroll through the following links, which will acquaint you with the dynamic nominees, the elegant dining venues, and more. Peruse the menus, recipes, and commentary—and enjoy an in-depth look at this year's winner, chef Katie Button of Curate in Asheville, North Carolina.
And then stay tuned. We will soon announce this year's panel of Master Chefs and nominees and embark upon our next culinary adventure. Thank you for joining us. —The Editors

Why Christmas is so deadly
The observation was made several times in the last decade or so, first with cardiac disease—the so-called Merry Christmas Coronary (here and here)—and then with other diseases, with increasingly incontrovertible data. Scrooge rules. The one that clinched it was carried out by a team of sociologists in balmy, non-Christmas-y La Jolla, Calif.: "Christmas and New Year as Risk Factors for Death." They took 25 years of death certificates (about 57 million deaths) and plotted out each dead-on-arrival or died-in the-emergency-room death, according to the Julian day-at-a-time calendar. According to their way of slicing up the bad news, thousands more people over the years have died on these two holidays than on any other day. (The graphs tell the story quickly.) That's a lot of bereft holiday families.
Data-based observations of this sort invariably bring out the theorists, each with his own axe to grind or idea to sell, or to confidently proclaim that this is yet another example of [hare-brained theory here] in action…
Which leaves this: what about the possibility that American health care doesn't suck? And that people on Christmas are sick, but opt to not call their doctor or visit the ER because it's Christmas and they don't want to bother anyone? (Or the doc is covered by someone who, in turn, is covered by someone else, who is maybe the same cousin with the MacArthur grant?) Anyone who has been in emergency rooms knows Christmas is just about always the quietest day of the year. And anyone caring for someone with chest pain knows the critical nature of "door-to-balloon time." This refers to the interval when a person with a possible heart attack first arrives in the emergency room until he is in the cardiac catheterization laboratory to have the salutary balloon inserted to pop open the affected artery.

Ice Age
National Scientific Reserve
Each year we see the northern United States altered by the cycle of the seasons, but this has not always been so. During a recent geologic period this land did not undergo seasonal changes. Great areas lay under thick layers of ice. For more than a million years, in at least four major periods of glacial advances, ice covered much of Canada and the northern United States. These four glacial stages, Nebraskan, Kansan, Illinoian, and Wisconsinan, are named for their most southerly advances.
The Wisconsinan stage covered much of the northern United States from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains as recently as 12,000 years ago. Nowhere is the evidence of the glaciers better preserved than across Wisconsin. As you drive around the State you can see many lakes and ponds, forested hills and ridges, and gently rolling farmlands that remind us of the glacier's visit. The Ice Age National Scientific Reserve was established in 1971 to preserve select glacial landforms and landscapes. The Reserve, part of the National Park System, consists of nine units administered by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
In southeastern Wisconsin, certain distinctively shaped hills and ridges occur repeatedly and in patterns that rule out the possibility of random distribution. These recurring landforms are mementos of the Wisconsinan glaciation, the most recent major episode in Earth's geological history. Because each landform was shaped by the ice sheet under a special set of conditions, it is fairly easy for observers of glacial geology to recognize them. And with the help of this information, you should be able to recognize them too. Besides that, you will see much of Wisconsin's great scenic beauty in these interesting glacial landforms. The great sequence of events that did so much to shape the northern half of North America and Europe spanned perhaps 1.5 million years. The Wisconsinan stage, the latest series of glacial advances and retreats began possibly 70,000 years ago and ended only 10,000 years ago. In fact, we can't even be certain that we are not in fact still in the Ice Age and merely enjoying a warm period between two glacial advances.
This knowledge, strangely, is only about a century old. Until the mid-19th century no one could account satisfactorily for drumlins, kames, eskers, kettles, moraines, and other such phenomena. It was the great Swiss naturalist Louis Agassiz who announced to a skeptical world the bold new theory of continental glaciation. Today it is universally accepted and is the focus of a whole branch of geologic investigation. The areas protected as the Ice Age National Scientific Reserve give you a good "on-the-ground" introduction to Ice Age geology.
Variations in topography and snowfall caused the massive ice sheet to move across the land at an uneven pace. The glaciers moved easily down river valleys and drainages, but massive hills slowed their movement. Higher upland areas caused the ice sheet to separate into tongues or lobes of ice moving outward from the main mass. Four major lobes of the Wisconsinan Glacier are recognized across the State:
- Chippewa,
- Green Bay, and
- Lake Michigan lobes.
We can only speculate about what Wisconsin looked like before the glaciers moved across the land. Undoubtedly, much of it was well-drained land like the southwestern portion of Wisconsin, an area so virtually untouched by glaciers that it is known today as the Driftless Area. As glacial ice advanced southward, hills and bluffs were often sheared off right down to bedrock. As the glacial front retreated, however, glacial debris suspended within the ice was deposited, filling depressions and leaving undrained, rolling lands. This layer of debris, varying from a few centimeters to a hundred meters or more, is the legacy of the glaciers.
The glaciers did not advance and retreat in one continuous movement. During a period of thousands of years the glacial ice moved slowly forward, stopped, retreated, and moved forward again. Suspended material would be deposited at the glacier's outer edge as the front melted and slowed. During periods of glacial advance much of this same material was lined and pushed into ridges or moraines. Materials were deposited at the leading edge of the ice sheets, forming end moraines, bands of hills marking the farthest points of the glacial advance across the State. Although the end moraine is no longer a continuous band of hills because of erosion, it is useful for studying glacial movements. Many of these landforms remain. Some were destroyed when the ice or water quickly eroded them. Other landforms have been destroyed as people removed the commercially valuable water-sorted sands and gravels that they contain.
Huge lakes were formed when the glaciers, with the bulk of their ice and deposits, blocked natural drainages. As the glaciers retreated northward many of these lakes drained, leaving broad flat lake beds that are now rich agricultural lands. Large marshes providing rich habitat for birds and other wildlife have developed in other old lake beds. Thousands of years of gradually warming climate forced the glaciers to retreat to northern latitudes. Plant and animal life driven southward by the glacial advance again began moving northward. Today, relict populations of plants associated with cooler northern climates persist in some deep gorges and valleys.
As plants and animals again reclaimed the land, nomadic man arrived. Small groups followed the game and foraged for plants. Over the years their numbers grew and tribes evolved. The extensive waterways left by the glaciers provided relatively easy transportation routes. The wetlands also provided homes for fish, fowl, and fur-bearing animals, a combination that attracted early explorers. The first permanent settlements were located along waterways. Forests spread across the land, and soon timber was harvested and shipped east via the waterways. The relatively flat land left by the glaciers was fertile and readily adapted to farming. Soon much of Wisconsin became farmland. Today, recreationists enjoy the rich glacial legacy of waterways and wetlands.
The Ice Age Shapes the Landscape
The two continental ice sheets that exist today— the Antarctic and the Greenland—suggest how awesome the Ice Age was. Two-thirds of all freshwater lies locked in the Antarctic sheet, which is, at its thickest, more than 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) deep.
Here in Wisconsin, the Earth's crust has rebounded 50 meters (160 feet) since the Ice Age glaciers receded. Rebound is subtle—1.3 centimeters (0.5 inch) per year—but the land features that glaciers leave behind are easy to spot. Moving slowly, glaciers nevertheless attacked the land with violence and power, grinding bedrock into fine powder. Then, once released, the staggering torrents of meltwater tore across the landscape, carving the gorge known as the Dalles of the St. Croix River. The waters' sustained force is evident in potholes abraded into bedrock. But most apparent on the Wisconsin landscape are features resulting from stagnant ice conditions and from deposition.
When the forward movement of glaciers reached equilibrium with meltback, stagnant ice resulted. Conical hills, called kames grew as debris washed through holes in the ice. Visualize kames as reverse funnels. As stream tunnels beneath glaciers filled up with debris, eskers formed. Eskers look like inverted streams winding across todays landscape. Depressions in the ground known as kettles, formed as stranded ice blocks melted and the debris covering them subsided. This melting process could take thousands of years. Some kettles are simple bowl-shaped depressions, but others are now bogs, marshes, or lakes.
Features deposited by the ice itself—not by meltwater—include ground and end moraines, drumlins, and erratics. The materials that compose them had not been sorted by the action of moving water. Ground moraines were deposited under moving ice, or were just let down like a carpet as stagnant ice melted. End moraines represent glacial dumps at the edge of moving ice and trend perpendicular to the glacier's direction of flow. There are three types of end moraine. Terminal moraines are the outermost end moraines of a glacier's advance, marking where it terminated. Recessional moraines are those left by retreating ice. Interlobate moraines are built between lobes of ice. Erratics are rocks carried from a distance in or on the ice. If you can keep all that straight, you're on your way to becoming a geologist!
Drumlins look like the upside-down bowls of teaspoons, or halves of teardrops. Their formation is not well understood. They were built up in layers beneath moving glaciers and usually occur in groups—sometimes in hundreds— behind the end moraines. A drumlin's long axis parallels the glacier's direction of flow.
Continental Glaciation
To understand the changes continental glacial ice sheets brought, you must grasp their magnitude. Over thousands of years the cold of arctic climates crept southward. Falling snow did not melt but accumulated year after year. Under pressure of its own weight, snow was changed to ice. In time an ice sheet more than 1,600 meters (1 mile) thick resulted. Its mass produced pressures causing it to spread.
Year by year and meter by meter, it moved across the land, engulfing soil and rock and incorporated them into its mass. Trillions of tons of materials, lifted, ground, and mixed together in glacial ice, were carried southward. Over the Ice Age's millions of years the land was leveled and the Earth's surface depressed by the ice sheets' weight. A small change in our preent annual temperature - a 5°C (9°F) drop - could renew such snow buildup.

Edward Charles Gilbert
The world became a little bit colder as the Lord called home one of His most kind souls.
Though our loss and sadness is deep, it is greatly offset by the experience of the lucky few who were blessed with him in his life. Anyone who had the luck to call him family or friend is a better person because of it. Our loss is Heavens gain, and we can all take comfort in the absolute knowledge that we will meet again in the House of the Lord.
Edward Charles Gilbert went home on Saturday, February 9, after a sudden, drastic decline in health which he fought enough to be able to say goodbye to his children, who all were there as he left for the next life. He will leave a void in all who knew him and more so, he'll leave wonderful memories that will last the rest of our lives.
Edward was born on August 20, 1942 to Edward M. Gilbert and Sadie F. (Lake) Gilbert in Madison, Wisconsin. He was a lifelong resident of the Madison area until 2010 when he moved to Pewaukee, Wisconsin to be nearer his daughter, Sherri Lynn, and resided at River Hills West nursing home till the time of his passing.
Ed graduated from Madison East High School in 1960. He excelled in many sports and was an awarded, accomplished gymnast during high school, placing first in many events. After high school he went to work for A.J. Sweet Company till its closure and then worked till his retirement in 2005.
He married Dorothy Cunningham in 1962. They later divorced. Together they had four wonderful children, though one was taken suddenly from at the early age of 21. Ed was an exceptional worker who took pride in a job well done but his true passion was to play as hard as he worked and was never happier then when he was playing with his children. Ed enjoyed fishing and camping and was a tournament level bowler, with several 300 games to his credit and a fantastic softball player for many years. He would take his kids along at any given chance. In many ways, he never lost the innocence of childhood which made him a kind, happy adult with no idea what malice even was. He was the rare individual that never talked mean, had enemies, or held a grudge. He simply didn't understand why anyone would. It was his selflessness that caused him to hang on to say his goodbyes, which itself is amazing, but even more so because this wonderful man who lived life with such joy. He instilled these traits in his children and they will live on in them, and I can think of no finer legacy than that. If he had one fault, he turned at least one daughter into a fanatical, lunatic Packer fan. In Wisconsin, most consider this a awesome achievement. Either way, it's fun for anyone to watch when she's in action, football fan or not? Ed needed one channel, ESPN. His love of all sports stayed with him his entire life as it will with his children. He may have not been materialistically wealthy, but he had the largest portfolio of warmth and kindness of any man we've ever met. There were no close seconds.
Ed was preceded in death by his parents, Edward M. and Sadie (Lake) Gilbert and his son, Virgil Edward Gilbert, just before Virgil's 22nd birthday.
He is survived by three children, Sherri (Ben) Thums, Charles "Chuck" Gilbert and Kelly (Chris) Rios; two sisters, Beverly (Pat) Boycon and Donna Hevsfall; two brothers, his twin, Eugene (Barb) Gilbert and Gerald "Jerry" (Sandy) Gilbert; 8 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the staff at Aurora Summit in Oconomowoc, the staff at River Hills West and the staff at Home and Hospice Advantage. A special thank you to James Jensen, Ed's roommate and close friend for the last several years. You put him at ease, showed him the ropes, and we will forever be grateful. Thank you, Jim. Ed considered you an exceptional friend.
Funeral services will be held at Cress Funeral Home, 3325 E. Washington Ave., Madison WI on Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 1:00 PM. A visitation will also be held at the funeral home on Thursday from 10:00 AM until the time of service. Interment will follow at Roselawn Memorial Park Chapel, 601 East Broadway, Monona, WI at 2:00 PM. There will be a luncheon immediately after the chapel service at the Community Center in Madison.

I've been watching this one... was hooked after the first episode, hell, the first 10 minutes! Great show! I'm stoked that there are three more episodes left too, thought there was just one, possibly two left, but three is good!
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Dang, more happens in a single episode of BE than entire seasons of some shows. Chalky drawing his guns on the Philly boys after the slip-up about the Packard was priceless, as was Jimmy's "I wasn't going to, but you sorta talked me into it."
Van Alden's path has taken him somewhere I never expected. Never. That is one strange man.
Steve Buscemi and Michael Shannon both better get some love come Emmy time if there's any legitimacy left in that award.

That's my jacket!
Michael Shannon is awesome, and Van Alden is one hell of a compelling character. Down with the freaky deaky!
Nelson goes nuts!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Did not see that one coming!
Also, I could watch an entire show about just Richard Harrow! What an awesome character!
It's on my DVR... haven't seen it yet because of the kids... this is killing me!
That's my jacket!

Don't wanna jinx it, but I think I just got the big bug(tm) fixed. I've been testing the fix for most of the night and I haven't been able to break anything. This is good(tm). :-)
Met with two German PhD students tonight at a local coffee shop. They stuck a microphone on me and interviewed me about IT and the Silicon Valley lifestyle. Fuck if I know much about that, what the hell. It was nice talking to them - let's face it, having 2 people listen to me talk about myself without throwing up is always an ego boost. :-) My wife hasn't done that for quite some time now, not that I hold it against her. Life as a blowhard can be frustrating sometimes.
Got a pretty big meeting tomorrow. Even though I can't talk about it now, wish me luck! I promise to let you all in on what's up as soon as I can.
Looking good...

They're called thugs. The Japanese media labels them "bouryokudan" (暴力団), or literally "violence" (暴力) "group" (団). They call themselves humanitarian outfits. The world knows them as the yakuza. Here is a glimpse inside.
Photographer Anton Kusters and his brother, Malik, documented two years in the life of the Shinseikai family, which operates in Tokyo's Shinjuku. The result is Odo Yakuza Tokyo, which was first published a few years back.
Kusters recently talked to New York Daily News about the experience, calling it a "rollercoaster ride."
"I try to share not only their complex relationship to Japanese society, but also to show the personal struggle of being forced to live in two different worlds at the same time; worlds that often have conflicting morals and values," explains Kusters on his official site. "It turns out not to be a simple 'black' versus 'white' relationship, but most definitely one with many, many, many shades of grey."
Kusters' remarks echo what Jake Adelstein, author of Tokyo Vice, told Kotaku back in 2011. "The yakuza don't think of themselves as criminals, because they argue that they are ninkyou dantai, aka 'humanitarian groups'," said Adelstein at the time. This is why the concept of chivalry, or "ninkyou" (任侠), is synonymous with the yakuza.


text: I recently saw and now have purchased an innovation in pinch collars. They are covered (not new, but helpful in keeping non dog people from thinking you are hurting you dog), but that is not the innovation. The innovation is the latch! All of the pinch collars I have used over the years have a latching mechanism that is either difficult to use or not reliable to stay latched or both! These are easy to use, can actually be inverted and slipped over the head, and then turned back to normal around the neck. They will not come unlatched! They are hand made, see the website at lolalimited.net or call her at 540-403-6981. I do not know this lady, but I have seen and used this collar...they are great!

Just looking for some tips, my 7 month ylf is currently in walking FF and we are following Smartworks. Her hold was poor, but we taught hold and it improved. We progressed to FF where her random cigaring and rolling would disappear, but its still there. Typical session starts with good technique, but as it progresses she gets worse, if she drops I can reinforce with an ear pinch. I typically remove a bad hold, say No and reinsert with Hold and jaw taps. Throw a retrieve she has no issues.
Do I continue to wait this out or can I be doing more? I switched to a larger bumper and just Hold, then hold, heel sit basics again when this rears its ugly head.

Family: Percidae, Perches and Darters view all from this family
Description The yellow perch (Perca flavescens) is a species of perch found in the United States and Canada, where it is often referred to by the shortform perch. Yellow perch look similar to the European perch, but are paler and more yellowish, with less red in the fins. They have six to eight dark, vertical bars on their sides. The yellow perch is in the same family as the walleye and sauger, but in a different family from the white perch. Yellow perch size can vary greatly between bodies of water, but adults are usually between four and 10 inches (10-25.5 cm) in length. The perch can live for up to 11 years, and older perch are often much larger than average; the maximum recorded length is 21.0 inches (53.3 cm) and the largest recorded weight is 4.2 lb (1.91 kg). Large yellow perch are often called "jumbo perch" or "jack perch".
Yellow perch reach sexual maturity at one to three years of age for males and two to three years of age for females. Spawning occurs at the end of April or beginning of May; females deposit 10,000 to 40,000 eggs upon weeds, or the branches of trees or shrubs that have become immersed in the water. After fertilization, the eggs hatch in 11 to 27 days, depending on temperature and other weather conditions.
Dimensions Up to 15" (38 cm); 4 1/4 lbs (1.9 kg).
Habitat Rivers & streams, Lakes & ponds.
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Florida, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska.

Looking for frozen dessert? Check out this refreshing, sweet and tangy sorbet.
Why it Works: Sorbet Secrets
When water freezes, it forms big ice crystals. The goal when making sorbet is to get these crystals as small as possible (0.0008 inch is ideal; at this width your tongue no longer feels them as individual crystals). To achieve this tiny size you have to do two things: churn the mixture as it freezes and add lots of sugar. Churning breaks up any large crystals (freezing fast also helps because the faster you freeze something, the smaller the crystals form). Adding sugar lowers the temperature at which water freezes. Ideally, you add enough sugar to sorbet so that part of it never freezes. You want to end up with something that is part liquid, part solid. Not adding sugar to sorbet results in an unscoopable block.

I started my training at the Motherlode today. Jess showed me how to make most of the drinks ( I didn't actually practice making them yet ). I need a lot of practice frothing for cappacino's. I made a sandwich, took out the recyclables and did some general sweeping up.
I put about 4 hours into organic chem, and starting figuring out how to synthesize things using Malonic esters.
To relax before bed I booted into Windows to play with SharpDevelop and do some C sharping. Nonetheless I'm really impressed, both with C#/.NET and SharpDevelop, it's pretty tight. I can't wait till Windows.Forms support is in Mono so we can use it in *nix.

Male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss in men.
Alopecia in men; Baldness - male; Hair loss in men; Androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness is related to your genes and male sex hormones. It usually follows a pattern of receding hairline and hair thinning on the crown, and is caused by hormones and genetic predisposition.
Each strand of hair you have sits in a tiny hole (cavity) in the skin called a follicle. Baldness in general occurs when the hair follicle shrinks over time, resulting in shorter and finer hair. Eventually, the follicle does not grow new hair. The follicles remain alive, which suggests that it is still possible to grow new hair.
The typical pattern of male baldness begins at the hairline. The hairline gradually moves backward (recedes) and forms an "M" shape. Eventually the hair becomes finer, shorter, and thinner, and creates a U-shaped (or horseshoe) pattern of hair around the sides of the head.
Classic male pattern baldness is usually diagnosed based on the appearance and pattern of the hair loss.
Hair loss may be due to other conditions. This may be true if hair loss occurs in patches, you shed a lot of hair, your hair breaks, or you have hair loss along with redness, scaling, or pain.
A skin biopsy, blood tests, or other procedures may be needed to diagnose other disorders that cause hair loss.
Hair analysis is not accurate for diagnosing hair loss due to nutritional or similar disorders. But it may reveal substances such as arsenic or lead.
Treatment is not necessary if you are comfortable with your appearance. Hair weaving, hairpieces, or change of hairstyle may disguise the hair loss. This is usually the least expensive and safest approach for male baldness.
Medications that treat male pattern baldness include:
Hair transplants consist of removing tiny plugs of hair from areas where the hair is continuing to grow and placing them in areas that are balding. This can cause minor scarring and possibly, infection. The procedure usually requires multiple sessions and may be expensive.
Suturing hair pieces to the scalp is not recommended. It can result in scars, infections, and abscess of the scalp. The use of hair implants made of artificial fibers was banned by the FDA because of the high rate of infection.
Male pattern baldness does not indicate a medical disorder, but it may affect self-esteem or cause anxiety. The hair loss is usually permanent.
