Choosing the right plant is not an easy process. We pick a design theme, make sure our plant choices are a good match for our site conditions, are compatible with their 'bedmates' and won't become overly burdensome, in terms of the maintenance we are able and willing to perform. There are a lot of variables here. Our expectations of how a plant performs in the landscape, as individuals and as a composition, are important as we assess their performance over time and decide how we will respond to them. Many of us are attempting to create gardens that require less of us in terms of maintenance, that fit the conditions on the ground with minimal intervention on our part. We may chose to create a xeric garden to minimize or even eliminate supplemental irrigation. If we do, the plant choices we make, their spacing, the size of plants we purchase, even the timing of the planting and the soil prep we do, are all important in our success or failure. While we attempt to keep our specific site conditions and our goals in mind, we need to be prepared for the extremes of conditions, like weather, that can occur occasionally, even if only once every several years.

The Strength to Stand: Surviving the Load of Ice and Snow in Portland
Many of us who garden in the Pacific Northwest, and especially those of us in Portland this year, will be visiting our garden centers and favorite nurseries this spring and summer with a little more anxiety and need as we look for plants to replace those that have succumbed to this winter's cold, ice and snow loads, all of which were more severe than what we have come to expect here. But before we pull on our boots and don our rain gear to head off for shopping there are several questions that we need to consider before we make our purchases. Not all of us draw up plant lists, but most of us at least carry in our heads a wish list of plants we have seen in other gardens, in magazine spreads and while on vacations, but if we want to avoid some major mistakes and move our gardens toward the kind of landscapes that we really want, we are going to have to put on our reality goggles and critically assess our choices…that is, if we want to avoid unnecessary losses in the future.

Portland Sustainable Landscapes: Toward Health and Diversity – Creating an Organizational Structure for Implementation
An Office of Sustainable Landscapes that oversees all landscapes within the City and provides active leadership to both private and commercial property owners through the following:
Public Landscapes (active urban contrived) Horticultural Management
Public Landscapes (urban plant communities)
Corridor Management: Transportation and Riverine
Division of State Lands
Multnomah County Bridges
Outreach and Education
Landscape is the setting, matrix and backdrop for everything that we do as humans. It is where we live, work and play, the places, on which the infrastructure that enables our modern day life, exists. It is both essential and peripheral, always present and, too often, taken for granted, so much so that we often view it incidentally. Like many other things in our lives it may go unnoticed until it is so degraded that we can no longer ignore it. Overall, our care of it, reflects a similar low priority. It becomes largely 'invisible', behind the more recognized needs of a modern City. Individual mobility, food, water, shelter, energy, economic opportunity and growth, the transportation infrastructure that keep us supplied with these things, all and more take precedence, the landscape subsumed and secondary, inferior and problematic. Overall, it is not generally viewed today as having inherent value. Its value, as a living system that allows and enriches biological life, seems almost irrelevant as we are able to satisfy our needs and desires via the economic engine that propels us along. The landscape, nature, seems relevant only in so far as it can meet our recreational needs providing us a base on which to build and resources that we can manipulate/convert to satisfy our 'needs'. Lost in all of this is our relationship with nature, with the landscape, its essential role in the creation and sustenance of all of the resources upon which we and the rest of life depends, and so, it has suffered. We have lost the ability, or willingness, to use nature as a gauge that shapes all of the other decisions we routinely make in order to meet our 'economic' needs. As both a society and as individuals we have learned to see these as separate and unrelated, so we routinely neglect the landscape. The problem is pervasive and integrated with how we live our lives. To correct this we must first acknowledge this and address it on many fronts. Continue reading
What Really is a Sustainable Landscape & Why it Matters
(I've made earlier postings on this topic, but this piece actually predates those. I wrote this in 2013 while still working as a horticulturist for the City of Portland Parks and Recreation as a member of a Bureau committee that was working to define 'sustainable landscapes' so that we could begin to make our policies and practices more consistent with our 'desire' to create sustainable landscapes and protect the relatively intact ones that remain. This was a difficult process. We spent a lot of time discussing/arguing about what constitutes a sustainable landscape and ultimately the direction that Parks should be headed.
There was a large divide between those of us who saw ultimately, that the only truly sustainable landscape was one that recreated those native landscapes that preceded the massive changes that European Americans brought with them, so that our efforts should be on these, and those of us who, having spent much of our professional lives in the field doing maintenance in created/urban landscapes, arguing that these new landscapes played a necessary role in the modern world and that our designs and maintenance of them could be moved in a more 'sustainable' direction. These urban/functional landscapes, whether for active sports, community gardens or even many passive uses, provide places and venues for activities that native landscapes cannot.
The organizational structure of the Bureau has been built around three primary landscape 'types': 'natural landscapes' which tend to be larger and border more densely populated sectors of the City, 'contrived landscapes' that are dispersed throughout the City and serve the more traditional Park functions for sports and more casual social use and the 'enterprise landscapes' of Golf and PIR that serve very narrow functions and depend on those uses for much of the revenue that supports them. These are operated and maintained by discrete groups within the Bureau, have different cultures and priorities and view sustainability very differently. Because these are all in a highly urbanized area the degree of historical disturbance and the continuous pressures that a concentrated population apply to them, they can never by truly 'sustainable' in that they will always require our active stewardship to counterbalance these pressures. This is not to say that we give up on the idea of balanced/dynamic landscapes of appropriately chosen plant communities. We just need to remember that these are urban areas and be good stewards of the land. We can even move 'high use' landscapes in a more sustainable direction, both in their design and in their maintenance. It is incumbent upon us to do this to ultimately minimize the pressures put upon them and natural areas by weeds, invasives and human use.) Continue reading
Gardening at City Hall- Lessons in Reality & Frustration
I'll bet you thought this was going to be about the hours of meetings wherein Council pours over the issues surrounding the plantings and landscapes of which the City has responsibility…Hah!!! No, this will be a bit more mundane, hands in the 'dirt', and about some of my experiences gardening in the limited ground around City Hall, as well as some observations and comments on what it's like to garden in such a public spot. There's also a bit of hand wringing and hair pulling here. I'll be telling two short stories of gardening, one on the 4th St side, but first the 5th Street side of the building. Continue reading
The Fields Park: Brownfields, Compaction & Drainage – a Missed Opportunity
The Fields (Click here to see the final design plan), completed in spring of 2013, is Portland's newest Park in the north end of the Pearl District. While I was still with Parks I did the horticultural review during the design process and was an on site inspector, periodically, during construction. New Parks like this one require a huge time commitment by Parks. Selection of designers, outreach to all of the stakeholders and many other meetings involving more technical aspects of such a project all in an effort to deliver to residents a Park that is beautiful, serves the needs of residents and is affordable in terms of long term maintenance. Before the project is offered to the design community functional goals are set for the Park and a general design theme is chosen. Various firms offer proposals. Concepts are bandied about. Eventually, one is chosen. In this case, the Office of Cheryl Barton, a San Francisco firm, was awarded the design contract (To see what they have to say about it). Continue reading
Jefferson Circle of Waterfront Park: NW Tropical Theme & the Question of Design
Jefferson Circle lies at the south end of the downtown seawall in Tom McCall Waterfront Park helping to anchor what we always referred to as 'the bowl', site of the Dragon Boat races, July's Blue's Festival and the end of Summer Oregon Symphony performance. The curving slope of the lawn that sweeps across the site assures attendees of a more clear view of the stages erected for big events. Jefferson Circle and '5 Flags to the south, permanently 'backup' the temporary stages, while a third display bed, Columbia Circle, marks the main entry from downtown on the west. All three beds share a common theme though they are by no means a mirror image of each other.
These three beds were part of Waterfront's original design from the '70's. Jefferson Circle an actual circle 40' in diameter defined, like the others by a concrete bench that surrounds it. Columbia is an ellipse stretched along its north/south axis, while 5 Flags is an 'organic' form with 5 'corners, each defined by a flag pole that for years displayed ours and a changing assortment of three other international flags. Their plantings have changed over the years. I take responsibility for their current theme and most of their plantings. Continue reading

"I have long been interested in documenting communities that reside well outside of
mainstream social constructs including the ways in which they can subversively influence
the mainstream in both subtle and conspicuous ways. I have recently embarked on a
project to document the Punk and Metal communities of South East Wisconsin via
photography (for gallery and book,) and video or 16-mm film (for installation.) This
project will eventually expand to include national and international extreme music
communities, i.e., Black-metal, noise, Pagan, Hardcore, Political, Peace-punk, Anarcho-
punk, etc. "
For me, I see a community I have long been familiar with , documented in a sensitive way
that reveals an identity that is worn on the outside. An inescapable identity, an identity in
progress, a physical palette of past, present and future literally sewn together, stitched
into cloth and skin.

Towards the end of the last war, Winston Churchill's son Randolph was holed up in what was until recently Yugoslavia with Evelyn Waugh and the second Lord Birkenhead. He was proving noisy, drunken and argumentative. To try to secure some peace and quiet for themselves, Waugh and Birkenhead bet him £10 each that he could not read the Bible in a fortnight. Churchill accepted the bet. After a few hours he pronounced:
Towards the end of the last war, Winston Churchill's son Randolph was holed up in what was until recently Yugoslavia with Evelyn Waugh and the second Lord Birkenhead. He was proving noisy, drunken and argumentative. To try to secure some peace and quiet for themselves, Waugh and Birkenhead bet him £10 each that he could not read the Bible in a fortnight. Churchill accepted the bet. After a few hours he pronounced:
"This book is extremely well written. Why has it not been brought to my attention before?"
After some days, he could be heard saying from time to time, in tones of awed admiration: "God, isn't God a shit."
Eventually a combination of Leviticus and strong drink proved too much for him and he lost his bet. But it was clear that, in the matter of natural disasters, the Lord of Hosts had form as long as your arm. If Churchill had persisted in his reading, he would have come upon great floods, the parting of the Red Sea, Job being afflicted by boils and an unoffending housewife being turned into a pillar of salt, to say nothing of numerous famines, pestilences and plagues.
It is not perhaps surprising that the Asian floods caused Fleet Street's Finest as much theological difficulty as they did, for the Scriptures, and in particular the Old Testament, are not read as widely as they once were; while the problem of suffering, which has engaged the attention of learned divines for centuries, evidently came as a surprising thought to the National Union of Columnists and Opinion Operatives.
The puzzlement of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, is more surprising. As William Whitelaw once remarked of his predecessor, Robert Runcie, who was being attacked by somebody or other in the Conservative Party: "The Archbishop of Canterbury is a very religious man." So is Dr Williams likewise. It is clear he did not say what The Sunday Telegraph misleadingly claimed he said in the same paper: that his belief in God was under threat. But it is not entirely clear what the Archbishop was saying, either. His liking for hesitancy and qualification is no doubt admirable in an age which demands glib answers to everything. But there are still times when the hungry sheep want to be fed.
If the Almighty was clearly present in the terrible events of the last weeks, where was our Prime Minister? Hitherto no natural disaster could be deemed to have run its course without the personal intercession of Mr Tony Blair. We must be fair to Mr Blair, as I always try to be. He did not initiate this approach to public events. The pioneer was Margaret Thatcher.
In the 1980s Mrs Thatcher seemed to take a pride in arriving at the scene of a disaster well before any members of the Royal Family had been able to make their own arrangements to turn up, always assuming, of course, that they had intended to do so in the first place. It was rumoured that the then Prime Minister's agility in diving into the official car was the cause of some annoyance at the Palace; with good reason. Indeed, so flagrant did her behaviour become that I thought of having some engraved medical bracelets manufactured for distribution to my friends, saying: "In the case of accident or serious injury, I do not wish to be visited by Margaret Thatcher."
There is, I feel - I may be wrong - less risk of such a visit from Mr Blair. That is because, like Sir David Frost, he goes for the big names. Nor does he specialise so much in the hospital visit, where Harold Wilson was assiduous too, as in the obituarist's tribute: most of all, to Princess Diana in 1997, but also to Jill Dando, John Peel, George Harrison and that corrupt old mafioso Frank Sinatra, who had no connection whatever with this country.
The people at No 10 say: why should the Prime Minister have put himself in the firing line for a lot of flak from you boys about coming back from Egypt to exploit a tragedy? We all know what you would have written, and so does he. Who needs it? The short answer is that such delicate considerations have never influenced Mr Blair's conduct in the past. Indeed, his entire approach has been dictated by a certain ruthless absence of good taste. He does not care what the high-minded may think of him.
Thus there are editors and columnists in the Prig Press (though not this columnist) who are aggrieved at their neglect by Mr Blair. They feel excluded, shut out. They are, they consider, his real friends. Alas! He will not listen to them. He much prefers to flatter journalists from Mr Rupert Murdoch's papers and from the Daily Mail; in much the same way as, towards the beginning of his first term, he sucked up to Vere Rothermere and David English of the Mail until they were both unexpectedly called to a Better Place. Mr Blair has never given a jot or even a tittle for enlightened opinion; whereas Mr Gordon Brown clearly still does.
We can therefore safely dismiss the notion that Mr Blair was suddenly stricken by an attack of the finer feelings. In the past, it would have taken a heavy armoured vehicle to restrain him from turning a well-phrased tribute in the television studio. It may be he has simply had enough. It may be the Sod It principle at work. Mr Blair does not enjoy contemplation. What he likes is physical activity, tennis and what-have-you. Perhaps he was having a good time in Egypt, as usual at someone else's expense, and saw no reason to interrupt his holiday when he could do no real good back in Blighty.
But it may be again that he really was "exhausted", as at one point No 10, in his absence, said he was. The people around Mr Blair are not - how can one put this? - exactly noted for their candour. So their admission that the Prime Minister was suffering from exhaustion must count as quite a big one. It would have been quite a big admission for the entourage of any national leader to make.
It would have been bigger still if he had been, not tired, but ill. We know that the Prime Minister has something the matter with his heart. It does not appear to be very serious - lots of people suffer from it - but he would clearly prefer not to be troubled by it at all. In his absence, the British people have behaved in a manner reminiscent of Little Jack Horner:
"He put in his thumb, and he took out a plum,
And said: 'What a good boy am I!'"
If I were Mr Blair, however, I should be keeping an eye on another Jack, Mr Jack Straw, who has had to revise the casualty lists upwards following the belated return to these shores of the Prime Minister. Mr Straw has been left out on a limb rather, to shift as best he can.Reuse content

while not a Starbucks fan, sometimes it is the only place, especially on a Sunday. never use the drive ups. This one is clean, staff friendly and service quick and I get what I order. Better places as long as you want to get out of your car.
Very quick and cheerful, love these guys! Open early, have all the regular Starbucks drinks and are adept at their jobs. No shade for parking with pets on hot days though, but that isn't their fault!
Typical of most Starbucks stores, the coffee was great, the service was spot on and the atmosphere was relaxing. The place was exceptionally clean and everyone enjoyed themselves.
fast and friendly service great cup of coffee in the spring they save coffee grounds for the garden !
All the "stand alone" stores in this chain are obviously similar. The only. Thing that distinguishes one from another is service and the extent of the food offered. This one is in the top of the bunch I have visited.
Your typical Starbucks. Good, friendly service and they had my favorite - pumpkin bread. And it was clean.
I'm a big fan and visit Starbucks daily, but this Starbucks was a HUGE disappointment. The staff are not trained properly and lack some basic skills needed in the service industry. It's treat receipt time and I asked for a frappacinno. The special is for a grande. I asked to substitute a tall for the grande. The cashier refused, even...
I was glad to see a Starbucks within walking distance of our hotel. We enjoyed our usual coffee drinks. Great service!
My wife and I were so surprised to find a Starbucks in Sheridan (or as my wife joking says "in the middle of nowhere"). You will have to travel a great distance to the next Starbucks. To find the next Starbucks you will probably have to travel a couple of hours to Billings Montana.
All coffee drinks are up the...
We were in town for a soccer tournament and this place was busy! The staff was prompt, friendly and the drinks are spot-on! We even stayed in the store for a while with five kids and enjoyed our stay!

Honeywell 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review
Honeywell 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner Review
Basic Design and Specs
The case of the Honeywell MN12CES makes it one of the more stylish portable air conditioners around. And, at 29.3″ high x 18.1″ deep x 15.2″ wide, you wouldn't have trouble finding space for it. However, with a hose length of just shy of four feet (47 inches), you won't have much choice about where to put it, either.
With an exhaust hose this short the only reason to have casters on the unit is for those occasional moves to another room. However, you have only one window kit (unless you buy or rig another). So, instead of "occasional" I should probably have written "rare". Fortunately, as a single hose design, re-doing the installation is pretty easy if it comes to that.
The noise level is a very livable 55 dB. That's par for the course. You're unlikely to find a mid-range unit that's much quieter. It's definitely noticeable but much like the background white noise you would expect. You should have no trouble hearing the TV in the bedroom over it, provided the unit isn't too close to the bed.
The unit also houses an air filter, a common feature these days. Like so many others, it doesn't do the job of a real air purifier but it helps keep down the dust level in the exhaust. It's recommended you clean it every couple of weeks but that depends, of course, on your environment. When necessary, it's pretty easy to remove and replace.
Cooling Power
There's one other oddity about the MN12CES besides the short hose. The Maximum Operating Temperature is rated as 100º F (37.8 C). I don't know what life is like at your house but the weather around mine can be far hotter than that. Of course, you generally expect it to be cooler inside but not if you've just come home from a long weekend trip, just to name one reasonable scenario. I'm hoping Honeywell is being very conservative here.
It's particularly odd in view of this Honeywell's cooling power: 12,000 BTU. That's not their top-of-the-line rating but it will normally be ample for the room area it's designed to cover: up to 400 square feet. It may not do the job in a very large living room especially if you have a cathedral ceiling but it should be just fine for a good-sized home office, even one packed with computer gear. It actually performs better than you'd expect for such a modest rating.
Fortunately as well, the MN12CES doesn't draw an outrageous amount of power. You might notice a bump in the electric bill if you run it all day but, at 1100 watts, it's well below some other units in this same niche, such as the Koldfront Ultracool PAC1401W. On the other hand, that model is rated at 14,000 BTU and covers a larger area (500 square feet). It's always a tradeoff.
Dehumidifying Capacity
If you live in a very humid zone the MN12CES should keep up on all but the most extreme days; it can dehumidify up to 70 pints per day without any action on your part. Other than, that is, setting it appropriately.
Typically, it will blow that moisture out the exhaust hose. Only rarely do you need to concern yourself with drainage. When you do, there are two drain plugs. One is a fitting for a thin hose you can direct outdoors. The lower one is intended for a shallow pan that, thankfully, is only a last resort in most cases.
Control Panel
The cooling power is modest and the control panel follows the same theme. This model offers a simple touch panel. The company can call it a touch screen but it isn't like a contemporary smartphone or tablet.
Also, one could wish it offered something a little better than the usual up/down arrows for changing the temperature. If you have only a few degrees to go that's not bad but few users want to tap and tap and tap to go up or down even as few as 10 steps. That admittedly minor complaint aside, the MN12CES controls are all very responsive.
The number and type of settings here won't dazzle a technophile. Mostly, they provide for the usual Mode change (Fan, Cool, or Dehumidify), fan speed, temperature, and display change. The display doesn't offer too much of interest – chiefly temperature and timer – but it's clear enough and won't likely annoy anyone who uses this in the bedroom at night.
The timer is a bit of a disappointment – unfortunately common in mid-range portable air conditioners. You can set the number of hours to operate (from 1-24) but not specific times to start and/or stop.
Remote Control
There is a remote control to set/change those settings but it, too, is underwhelming. It certainly covers the gamut – Mode, Fan Speed (High, Medium, or Low), Timer, and Temp. But, like the panel itself, you have to make a lot of taps to get very far from the current settings.
Worse, it seems not very sensitive. Many times it required more than one tap to actually make a change. That might be explained by limited range or blockage if there were anything between the remote and the unit but that's not the case here.

There are fundamental economic, financial, political, military and social reasons to doubt that America's central role in the world is ending.
In a 2011 article, Michael Beckley, a former research fellow in the International Security Program at Harvard's Kennedy School's Belfer Centre, looked at economic, technological and military indicators and concluded that far from declining in relative terms, America was wealthier, more innovative and more militarily powerful compared to China than it was in 1991.
The US economy remains by some distance the world's largest. Its gross domestic product, at $15-16 trillion, is about 25 per cent of the global economy and almost twice that of the second place China.
Americans, on a per capita basis, remain relatively wealthy. GDP per head is around $50,000. This is among the highest in the world especially when low population (Luxembourg, San Marino or Singapore) or commodity-rich (Middle East oil producers) nations are excluded. In comparison, China's GDP per capita is about $5,000 to $6,000.
American households have substantial net worth in excess of $70trn, although this is down from a peak of over $80trn before the financial crisis.
While the global financial crisis has damaged America's economic power, its position remains superior to many other countries. This reflects a variety of factors.
The United States was among the first nations to be affected. Financial market traders believe that "if you are going to panic, panic first". America benefited from first-mover advantages during the crisis.
Its problems, which emerged in 2006/2007, related primarily to $1 trillion of sub-standard mortgages (about 10 per cent of the total American mortgage market). While there were flow-on effects, the scale was smaller than, say, the current sovereign debt problem in Europe.
American policymakers, unlike their counterparts, moved aggressively to recapitalise financial institutions to reduce the risk of contagion. Large government budget deficits and specific industry programmes (for the motor car industry) helped prop up demand, reducing the effects of the financial problems on the real economy.
While the appropriateness of specific measures is debated, the policy helped ensure that problems were minimised.
The US economy is now growing, albeit modestly. While well below trend and theoretical potential, the growth rate is above that in most developed countries. Jobs are being created slowly, although unemployment and under employment remains at unacceptably high levels. Housing prices, having fallen by about 35 per cent on average, have stabilised.
Even America's debt statistics are better, on a comparative basis. Total debt (government, corporate and household) has fallen to about 330 per cent of GDP from its peak of 359 per cent in 2008. Public debt levels have risen sharply, in part because of the crisis. But households and corporations are gradually reducing their level of borrowings. While still high in absolute and historical terms, the debt levels compare favourably to other developed countries.
Government net debt at about 84 per cent of GDP is higher than Germany (58 per cent) but well below that of weaker European nations. Household gross debt (86 per cent of GDP) is higher than many countries. But US household net debt (gross household net debt adjusted for financial assets and liabilities) is negative 235 per cent of GDP, that is financial assets are greater than liabilities. This is better than most nations and only less than Japan amongst developed countries. Corporate net debt (83 per cent of GDP) is in the middle of the range of comparable economies.
Financial institution debt (88 per cent of GDP) is lower than all developed countries except Canada. Banks have decreased leverage, having been forced to aggressively deleverage by selling off assets and raising capital. Banks also have only modest exposure to sovereign debt (8 per cent of GDP) compared to banks in Europe (13-35 per cent) or Japan (83 per cent).
America is also less vulnerable to external shocks than comparable economies. US gross external liabilities (161 per cent of GDP) are lower than most developed countries. US net external liabilities (amount owed to foreigners adjusted for a country's international investment position) are a manageable 26 per cent of GDP. It ranks behind Belgium (negative 65 per cent), Japan (negative 57 per cent), Germany (negative 38 per cent), UK (8 per cent), Canada (12 per cent), France (16 per cent) and Italy (24 per cent).
America has emerged as the "cleanest of the dirty shirts" of the developed economies.Reuse content

The commission has been given 12 months to report on whether a monopoly exists amongst the supermarkets and whether they exploit that power against the public interest.
The referral follows an eight-month investigation by the OFT into the big four supermarkets - Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Safeway. It indicated last month that a referral was likely. The investigation by the Competition Commission, formerly known as the Monopolies and Mergers Commission, has been widened to include all UK food retailers with more than 10 stores.
John Bridgeman, the director general of the OFT, said: "After analysing the profits of the four largest supermarket chains ... I have to conclude that there is a level of profitability here which requires further investigation."
He added that the OFT inquiry had raised several competition issues. They include the extent of barriers to entry; the extent to which land prices and site availability affects the cost structure of competing firms; the intensity of price competition at a local, regional and national level and the relationship between big multiples and their suppliers, including farmers.
Mr Bridgeman said the supermarkets had become increasingly powerful but that he had been concerned for some time "that this power might have become exploitative".
The big supermarkets reacted calmly to the news, which had been expected. Tesco said it had "every confidence" that the inquiry would give the industry a clean bill of health. Asda said it had "nothing to fear", indicating it had been told by the OFT there would be no problem if the rest of the industry's profit margins were like Asda's.
Some supermarkets complained that the investigation was politically motivated as the Government champions the cause of price comparisons ahead of the UK's potential adoption of the euro. They also said the economic model used by the OFT to examine prices has been "inadequate".
Supermarket shares were unruffled by the news with Asda trading slightly higher.

|Version 1 HD Video
|Version 2 Vidxden
The dislocation felt by returning servicemen was one of the chief topical
themes of the film noir cycle. After being primed to take risks but no
prisoners in the anarchic and violent theaters of World War, many found it
hard to ratchet back down upon their return to an often jarringly altered
society. Amnesia was the primary noir metaphor -- having to reconstruct an
entire past life from scratch.
Others faced having to cope with disabilities; still others, having spent
the "best years of their lives" in hellholes abroad, weren't about to wait
for the high life on the installment plan.
Backfire forgoes amnesia for the latter two categories. Gordon MacRae recuperates from spinal-cord injuries in a veterans' hospital until he can get out and buy a ranch with army buddy Edmond O'Brien, who abruptly vanishes. Upon release, MacRae sets out to track him down through the labyrinthine underbelly of postwar Los Angeles. It looks like O'Brien got mixed up with heavy gamblers, and is in fact wanted for apparently murdering a syndicate kingpin. MacRae is aided in his quest by his nurse (Virginia Mayo, good as a good gal for once) but thrown off the trail by a mysterious foreigner (Viveca Lindfors, as a discount-chain Ingrid Bergman). But, as always in the noir scheme, things are rarely what they at first seem....
No masterpiece, Backfire nevertheless keeps up the pace and the suspense, drawing (like Somewhere in the Night) on themes and formats that were central concerns of the cycle.

Honoring My Values
In 2005, I took an opportunity from my dad to visit Alaska. He had grown up there and I was eager to see it. I was working on a novel based on his life at the time, so it seemed logical that I should go see where it all began. A friend went with me for the first week and I would stay a full month. My dad had found two places for me to stay, both at the homes of high school friends of his. At the end of the first week, I had decided I was moving, and my friend was eager to join me. She returned and orchestrated the move while I continued to stay and look for a job. The second two weeks of my vacation were spent housesitting for a couple who are vagan. Even with my history, I found it off-putting. I would go through their pantry and cabinets looking at all the unusual foods. It was not what I was used to. And I didn't fully embrace the experience, as I should have. I took pleasure in buying fried chicken and eating it in the living room, a secret act of defiance. I'm still sad about that situation.
After a little over a year in Alaska, I was alone and starting to really reflect on the person I really wanted to be and learning how to focus on myself while I developed relationships with a newly emerging group of friends. During that first year, I was eating meat at least once a day. I didn't feel right. I was having trouble staying happy. 2006 was coming to a close when I had the epiphany that I could no longer eat meat. I was eating lamb at the time and I could feel it in my mouth as I masticated; it was no longer food. The lamb had been alive, every bit as much as I am alive, and it certainly did not belong inside my body. It should have been allowed to mature, to be free, to become a sheep. I had been a part of that creature's death, the demand that required it to be killed and included in my meal. I could see its little lamb face in my mind. It was adorable, to be sure, but I was more struck by the audacity of eating another creature because I wanted to, disregarding its family and community. Don't kid yourself, sheep have communities. Cows have best friends and a matriarchal society. Chickens organize themselves into a complex hierarchy, the origin of the term "pecking order." These animals aren't sitting around waiting to become a meal. They are trying to live full lives, as much as they can with what we give them.
It all came down on my and I cried. I cried a lot and wanted the animal out of my body. I have not eaten meat since.
I did just a small amount of research at the time. I had been been going back and forth with vegetarianism for ten years at that point, so I felt like I had a handle on the facts enough to not dig much deeper. I had made a partial connection, but I was blind to part of the story.

|Hi! I'm Jacquie Barton, a wife, mother and internet marketer based in the UK.
My cheque from Google doesn't arrive by Fed-Ex and I certainly don't have all the answers, in fact, I know a heck of a lot more about what NOT to do! In short, I'm the same as you – a normal person trying to find my way round the world of Internet marketing without going bankrupt, going insane or giving up!
I've been online for a couple of years now and I can assure you that yes, it is possible to earn money online ;-) It's far easier to spend it though, isn't it?
If you're wondering about the picture that's "Jake". He's my reason for working online as when the weather's nice I can bunk off and go play with him rather than being stuck in an office somewhere.
Great Tips For Successful Viral Marketing
Click Here For FREE Tips For Successful Viral Marketing
While many successful marketers know the great benefits of viral marketing, many others are simply not aware. Some may even associate the word 'viral' with something nasty or unethical!
The DNA Of Viral Marketing
Of course all those who know better, know that the 'viral' in viral marketing refers to the rate of growth if something simply doubles every day. No doubt you have heard of the weed that doubles every day. If today it covers the entire pond, then a week ago, the weed patch was barely visible! So it is with viral marketing. If everyone who is introduced to a product simply tells two others about it twice in a day, then in a month you will have probably covered the country!
Some Marketing Tips
There are ways of maximizing the benefits of such an important marketing technique. We set out to give you a few of these:
- The first step you must take is to locate focus groups on the net. Fortunately this is done rather easily. A simple search will give you a large number of sites, blogs and discussion forums that are interested in the very thing you have on offer. You must become a regular contributor to these sites. There is work to be done here. You will need to read and collect considerable information before you can write with authority. Only when you are accepted, will you be able to influence others with your opinion.
- On your own site, make e-books and other resources available to visitors. Once again ensure that the user gets value and only then pass your message. It is critical to be honest; a pure sales pitch will stick out like a sore thumb. It is not essential that you write the e-book yourself. You can hire an expert to do that for you, it won't be cheap, but it will be worth it. We are talking of viral advertising, not free advertising!
- Tell buyers that you welcome any referrals. If a referral results in a sale, share a percentage of the profit with them. This way you create a strong incentive for the users of your stuff to introduce new users.
If you handle your viral marketing efforts well, you will be able to generate a buzz in your target group that will ultimately lead to several tangible benefits. You will find that the hits on your sites will increase substantially. Discussion forums or boards will discuss your goods or services by name and any leads that your website handles will be far more specific than they would be without the new marketing effort. Because all your work is done electronically you will also be able to automate a large amount of the lead generation and analysis activities.

Call it a Penn Statement, one where the Lions, following back-to-back losing seasons, imposed their will on a quality opponent. In doing so, they improved to 5-0, beat their win total of the entire 2004 campaign, ended a four-game losing streak vs. U of M and paved the way for a move back into the Top 25 for the first time since the second week of the 2003 season.
To be at Penn State and feel like we don't have respect, that's wrong, cornerback Alan Zemaitis said. We want to show that we're back.
The Golden Gophers came into the game scoring 46.2 points per outing while allowing just 19. Coach Glen Mason, a Woody Hayes disciple, built a powerhouse offense around powerhouse back Laurence Maroney, who had been leading the nation in rushing (174.5 yards per game).
The attack is designed to win battles of attrition, which is exactly what U of M did in a 42-35 double-overtime victory against No. 11 Purdue a week earlier. But Saturday's action would not include such theatrics. Nittany Lion Ethan Kilmer decked Maroney on the opening kickoff, and the rest of the team methodically punished the Gophers the rest of the day.
The defense was its usual marauding self, rebounding from an up-and-down showing at Northwestern by holding Minnesota without a first down until late in the second quarter. Maroney had 14 yards in the opening half.
Defensive tackle Matthew Rice said he read a story where Maroney was talking about padding his stats vs. the Lions. It didn't happen. He finished with 48 yards on 16 carries.
I think he was frustrated as soon as he stepped off the plane, Rice cracked.
There was a bit of spotty play on special teams, including allowing a pair of long kickoff returns. But on one of them, PSU place-kicker Kevin Kelly, all 5-foot-7, 170 pounds of him, decked Maroney while he was trying to block.
The offensive line had its best big-game showing since the destruction of Nebraska in 2002, helping Penn State crank out 539 total yards.
But the offense's bruising ways did not end there. While much has been made of State's new four-wideout attack, in this game it did not rely on trickery to beat a defense.
In fact, the PSU skills players delivered as many blows as they received. Quarterback Michael Robinson flattened safety Brandon Owens on a second-quarter scramble. Owens didn't return. After seeing the play on the stadium's replay board, Rice said a lot of words I can't say on the mic.
Running back Tony Hunt took a third-quarter handoff, motored up the right sideline and steam-rolled corner Trumaine Banks.
The biggest thing the coaching staff talked about during the week was how physical this team is, how they would come out and try to intimidate us, Hunt said.
To the contrary, the Lions dominated on both sides, cranking out 35 first downs (the second-highest total under Paterno) while limiting the Gophers to 13. State ran a season-high 91 plays and won the time-of-possession battle, 35:18-24:42.
The key play came in the second quarter. Up 10-0 and facing fourth-and-1 at the U of M 9, Penn State sent in a two-tight end offense. There was no mystery what was going to happen. And sure enough, Hunt took a handoff and blasted two yards for a first down. Three plays later it was 17-0.
The run-oriented Gophers were in a deep hole from which they'd never escape. The Lions, meanwhile, continue to have the look of an outfit emerging from the doldrums.
Hopefully it gave us some confidence, Robinson said. Hopefully we made a statement today.

Samsung's AQ100 and SL605 are billed as being waterproof and durable, respectively, but they're really not all that waterproof and durable. Still, the AQ100 shoots 720p video on the cheap and can go for a dip, if not a dive.
With the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2's 30 foot waterproof rating, the 10 feet of waterproofness guaranteed by Samsung's AQ100 doesn't seem all that impressive. But you can bet that it's going to be cheaper—at $200, the AQ100 is almost half as pricey as Sony's new rugged cam, the DSC-TX5, which can only go the same 10 feet deep.
