Here are some reviews the cd garnered on different little blogs that I had never heard of before. And I don't think anybody else has heard of them either. What's funny is when writers attribute artists of whom I have never heard as influences. The Bowie comparisons are nice.
You might just want to buy the cd here and make up your own mind.
- Equal parts Kraftwerk, the better parts of Roedelius, Metro, Daevid Allen, a bit of the Buggles, Woo, and Enoidian nursery weirdness—even some Beach Boys!—Knox Bronson has created a prog-pop confection of very attractive atmospheres alternating between stark and lush, innocent and knowing, 70s and 00s, perhaps even chamber and MTV. Sections of this are mindful of Verity's Digital Planet, a lost prog gem, but there's also a small trace of lightened-up Kevin Ayers, though Bronson's vocal work is completely untutored and oft a tad too forward in the sonic field, best when he pushes through a Vocoder (catch Stay and Hey Little Earthgirl). In fact, the singing's the only deficit in a collection otherwise boasting a Romantic approach swimming in Acadian pastorale and elliptically magnetic fields. Perhaps the most striking aspect of Pop Down is the availability of each cut for covers, for juicy permutations that could be crafted from such wide-open bases. This is Bronson's first third release—which means the first two were never officially released—and shows predominantly Impressionist roots grafted into futuristic means but not yet fully realized, though very close and extremely promising. -FAME
- The Bay Area's Knox Bronson creates pop music by running away from pop music. Delving into influences that include 60's pop, classical, jazz, blues and electronica, Bronson creates a musical stew that is different than anything you've heard before, and yet amazingly catching and close to the heart. Bronson writes according to the philosophy that all songs already exist, reaching out into a sort of musical super conscious to bring back bit by musical bit until some pure confection is completed. In this way Bronson creates music that stirs the lifeblood the way Rock N Roll did in the 1960's; the way rap did in the 1980's. Pure creation and pure music blend together to fuel Bronson's first released album, Pop Down The Years. Bronson's muse is true to the long line of tempo-setting pop/rock bands to come out the San Francisco Bay area.
Bronson has this odd air about him that's part Jim Morrison and part David Bowie, almost as if Ben Stein decided to sing. The result is a jarring listen as your mind tries to wrap itself around his unconventional sound. Pop Down The Years opens with Hey Little Earthgirl, an electronic ode to pop music that is quite catchy. The vocals are buried in effect and heavy synthesizer work, but the music is infectious and will have you tapping your toes. Old Man Cold Man has a stilted vocal style that isn't monotone but suggests that sort of effect. Take Me Down has the same sort of Jim Morrison on downers affect to it. The style is interesting, but does begin to wear on the listener after a bit. Other songs of note are Bordertown, Celeste and Pop Down The Years.
- Knox Bronson is unusual. His depressive Jim Morrison style vocals leave little room for middle ground. You're either going to fall in love with this record right away or you'll dislike it on personal terms. The rub is that whatever you think of the delivery, Bronson is a fabulous lyricist. His story-based songs are poetic and masterfully told. Unfortunately the delivery does get in the way at times. Pop Down The Years is a unique creation that should help establish Bronson with sort of folks who like(d) The Cure, Depeche Mode and any of the other semi-depressed Brit bands of the 1980's. – wildysworld blog
Knox Bronson is an artist who is located on the west coast of the USA. He has released music before but never as Knox Bronson. Pop Down The Years is his first solo album. Upon first listen you may get lost along the way but don't stray too far off the path because Pop Down The Years has some great songwriting and wonderful production to enjoy.
- Pop Down The Years starts out with quite a simple electronic track called "Hey Little Earthgirl" that has a driving beat and quite accessible lyrics fed through some sort of vocal distortion. Next up you get the genuine Knox. On "Old Man Cold Man" you get Joy Division's Ian Curtis filtered through David Bowie's Earthling era. It's a wonderfully strange ideal and damn if it doesn't work. He follows Bowie's vocal emulation with "3 Seconds Before Maia Smiled". On "Bordertown" Bronson relies on electronics to set the mood. Doing so brings a lot more energy to his music. This is one of my favorite tracks.
Then on the track "Stay" we end up with something almost completely different. It's an etheral electronic song with Knox's voice quite distorted. It makes for a nice break in his Bowie-like vocals.
Overall, Pop Down The Years is quite a pleasurable listen. Knox doesn't want to change the world or create revolutionary music. He just wants to create a soundtrack for those willing to take it. So if you do enjoy the gentle vocals of David Bowie, do check out Knox Bronson's debut album Pop Down The Years. It's a great mellow pop album with touches of electronics to it. music emissions
Interesting hummable electronic pop. San Francisco, California's Knox Bronson makes music that sounds something like twenty-first century David Bowie creating his music with 1980s analog synthesizers…except the subject matter, overall, is much lighter. Bronson's voice is decidedly Bowie-esque…yet one can't help but feel that he is playing for a much younger audience. Some of the tracks have almost cartoonish-like qualities…while others are much more serious and introspective. Knox is obviously a very talented fellow with a great voice. If he can shake some of the extreme Bowie influence, our guess is that this guy will be able to come up with some even better material in the future. Cool modern electronic pop tracks include "Hey Little Earthgirl," "Old Man Cold Man," "Stay," and "Pop Down the Years." (Rating: 4+++) babysue.com
- "Hey Little Girl" is the first track on Knox Bronson's "Pop Down The Years", and it immediately distinguishes Bronson as someone that boldly forges a new and unique form of music. The track ties together traditional rock music with an airy approach to electronic music, crafting something in "Hey Little Girl" that will immediately and positively impact listeners. "Old Man Cold Man" follows up "Hey Little Girl", and presents a shift in musical style that allows Bronson to expand his repertoire over the course of the following seven tracks.
"Old Man Cold Man" links together a cold, industrial-influenced instrumentation with a haunting set of vocals that will undoubtedly stick with listeners long after the track wraps up. "3 Seconds Before Maia Smiled" links together a traditional, Eastern type of instrumentation with a much more modern type of sequencing: Bronson's vocals on "3 Seconds" approach that of "China Girl"-era David Bowie. The chorus of "3 Seconds" will be familiar to fans of acts like 45 Grave, Sisters of Mercy, and Bauhaus. Bronson is able to create "3 Seconds" in such a way that, while influenced by the Romantic and gothic movements of the eighties, has still much to say to listeners today.
The disc does not lose steam as it rolls on; the vocal heavy "Celeste" continues to show listeners that Bronson's palette is limitless. The track itself has a heavy fifties influence, with the acoustic guitar that lends the backdrop to the track playing upon Iggy Pop as much as it does current lo-fi and indie rock acts. Listeners should understand that, by the end of "Pop Down The Years", that Knox Bronson is creating an album that is as eclectic as the average listener. There are firm roots in each of the disc's nine cuts in a myriad of different decades, genres, styles, and approaches to music: it is through this rich buffet presented listeners that Bronson creates a stellar album. I know that I will be keeping my ear firmly to the ground when it comes to rumblings about Bronson's next album or live dates, and it is my suggestion that you pick up "Pop Down The Years". neufutur
- Prepare for a musical high. Knox Bronson's Pop Down The Years is an experience unlike any other.
With a voice comparable to David Bowie, English musician, actor, record producer and arranger, Bronson has fused melody, rhythm, organic style and electronic style together to produce brightly colored modern and classical pieces.
Pop Down The Years starts with the simple up-beat electronic track, Hey Little Earthgirl that will brighten up any day. With a driving beat, Bronson puts his lyrical and electronic magic to work, accentuating the lyrics through a vocal distortion. The lyrics match the electronic style of song, "Hey little Earthgirl I think your fantastic, intergalactic, Hey little Earthgirl, electronic where I'm taking you its supersonic." Be prepared to hum Hey Little Earthgirl for the rest of the day.
Bronson continues to distort his Bowie-esque vocals in Old Man Cold Man which features a much slower and relaxing beat along with a mellow pop sound. Also notable is 3 Seconds Before Maia Smiled which begins with an interesting electronic, asian-sounding beat that slowly transforms into another relaxing mellow pop sound.
Using electronics to set the mood, Bronson brings more energy to Bordertown then you'll find on 90% of the other tracks as he sets the stage for a mid-album pick up.
Taking a break from his Bowie-like vocals, Bronson distorts his vocals in a whole new way to create the unearthly electronic sound in Stay. Sit back and prepare to visit a far out place with one of the most relaxing, yet far out sounds you have ever heard. The almost six minute track is one you can put on and go about things while the mellow electronic sounds play in the background, or sit back and listen to the lyrics and unique style. Either way, Stay is one of hte more pleasurable listens on the album.
Proving his songwriting, arrangements and use of electronics is nearly endless, the do-it-all Bronson's Pop Down The Years is an nearly endless mixture of one-of-a-kind sounds.
Ending with less reliance on the electronics, the album closes with its title track, a calming, enjoyable explanation for the title.
If you find yourself in a bad mood, pop in Knox Bronson's Pop Down The Years, sit back and maybe play a game or chat on your laptop, but in the end… just relax. Before you know it your blood pressure and pulse will lower and everything will somehow feel okay. And if that doesn't work for you, put Pop Down the Years away and listen to something else for a while… then come back to it like I did. Chances are, Bronson's unique sounds are bound to grow on you. – music reviewer.com
- Knox Bronson is a Bay Area-based singer-songwriter who has used this release as a way of revisiting the 60s and 70s and making a tribute to the old school way of composing and producing. More than that, he's looking to re-invoke the days when music seemed like the doorway to all things right and beautiful.
He has done all the programming work himself, written and arranged the songs and sung them too (with some help from chanteuse Angie Harnell…note to Knox, next time, give her a bit more space to strut her stuff). Sometimes, when an artist gives himself all the tasks, he loses sight of the goal and the album's focus drifts. Not so here; Bronson keeps his inner eye on the ball and delivers a piece of work that harks back to good times of Donovan and the Moody Blues, but maintains a foot in the here and now.
Bronson is the kind of guy who's seen it, done it and even has the t-shirt, but gave it back. He is literate, mature and thoughtful and this comes through in spades in this release. He's here to speak his truth in quiet, authoritative terms.
Bronson has a voice that reminds one of David Bowie in his good years. He doesn't have an especially melodious voice, but it is pleasant to listen to, authoritative and solid. The music and lyrics flow around our ears, drawing us into another place.
The only cover song is "Celeste", originally written by Donovan (and done better by Bronson), but we are treated to "Pop Down The Years", an evocation of the days when the intellectual and the psychedelic could co-exist in the same song.
Summary: Get this album. For mouldy oldies, this music is a throwback to the "good ol' days". To the young and hungry-for-the-new, this release will come as a revelation. -bullfrog

My sender was Donna and you can see what she sent me in my post here. I have still to make my something out of three of the things I received. I was sending to Leanne and in her box of stash, this was the handmade item I made her. A little mixed media canvas board...
The base is made up of layers of tissue paper, book pages and braille paper. (My favourite - I did include some in her box!)
And then just layers and layers and layers of paint, texture paste and pen over the top. I was pleased with the end result - I used lots of purple because Leanne seems to use a lot of purple in her work so I was guessing she liked it. As do I!
Thanks for stopping by - back later with Rocking Friday :)

Rebuilding Retaining Wall
I have retaining wall issues at the end of my paved driveway! The walls are made of 4 x 4's and are leaning outward badly due to frost heaves. I am going to rip out the 4 x 4's and replace it with mortared rock. My question - is it safe to dig out from behind the current (and new) wall and fill with crushed rock (this would be partially under the driveway). Also, if I mortar the back half of the wall (to make it appear like a dry stack wall) do I still need to prepare a batter wall that slants 1 inch per 1 foot in height?
Maybe this isn't an issue but I can use some advice.
In order to give you any advice we're going to need to know how tall the retaining wall is, etc. Pictures would definitely help.
Retaining wall
4 Attachment(s)
Good point - I am new and short on deatils. The height is only two feet above ground and four feet wide - most is covered by sloping land (see attached pics). I realize I will need to build off a rebar reinforced concrete base below the frost line. My main questions is:
You may also want to verify that the existing pipe under your driveway is in good condition because now I would certainly be the best time to replace it is necessary.
Is that a drain tunnel under the driveway?
Rebuilding retaining wall
Yes it is a drain culvert underneath the driveway and it is in good condition.
I am not sure if I understand correctly re: putting in posts. If I did this would there also be a secondary support (over and above the concrete wall) to ensure that frost heaves and moisture don't force the wall to cave again (something like a heavy duty wire mesh)?
Instead of using crushed gravel for drainage, and since I can't excavate under the driveway, is there an alternative mentod to ensure excess moisture drains and the freeze thaw cycle doesn't bulge the wall?
Rebuilding retaining wall
Thanks for the advice. I have anothern question - is it possible to build the retaining wall 2 feet away from the current wall and backfill the open area with crushed rock? This will make the wall look quite wide but I can tie it in with a small flower bed on top of the wall. Is this doable? Would I need to batter the wall or can it be straight?
That should work fine as long as you compact the gravel well. Actually you could build the new wall first before you remove the old one by doing it this way which may make things a lot easier.
Retaining Wall
I have another question now - I live in Canada with heavy freeze/thaw cycles. I want to make sure that the wall does not heave upwards on me. Instead of starting my wall 4 feet deep, can I use enough crushed rock under the base of the wall (i.e. 2ft) to negate the frost pressure and ensure a stable wall? Traditional wisdom says go below the frost line but I haven't seen this done with any rock wall I've researched. Looking for answers!

Five Star Primer ?
I went to the local autobody store and asked for an epoxt primer and he gave me "5 Star Extreme". I've been reading up on it and it seems to be a hybrid epoxy/acrylic. Has anybody else used this, will it stand up as well as a straight epoxy primer?
I have some sections that I used POR15 and POR15 tie coat primer and I'm wondering if I can spray over that as well so everything in a uniform coat of epoxy.
Any input???
1 Attachment(s)
I am not a pro, however I used this same product and it turned out pretty well I think. I had a friend spray the color and clear and the final product turned out well.
One other thing: It sands nicely. I did a LOT of blocking, and it sanded out real nice.
See the picture below
5 Attachment(s)
Good to hear, I just sprayed a coat on the other day before I started applying my Lizard Skin coatings. Went on real nice, hoping this all holds on tight :D . That looks real nice!!
I cant comment on its long term endurance but I can say this.
If its the 2k "Extreme" DTM Primer/Surfacer/Sealer ****, that stuff sands absoutley terrible. I find it to be very soft, and clogs up the paper very quickly. If you happen to catch and edge, or are not careful you will gouge into your just sanded finish. To me, its fine for small parts. But I would not want to sand an entire car coated in the stuff....way to much paper and time.
I have never used that product, but I do know that epoxy's in general are a pain to sand. Epoxy is good as a sealer and direct to metal. But I prefer to use a 2K urethane primer for bodywork/blocking. There are a few epoxy's out there now that claim to be sandable but I have never tried them. I"m assuming thats what this 5 star product is. Now that I think about it I used some SEM Metal Lock primer that was Direct to metal. and it may have been an epoxy, it sanded ok if I remember right.
Yea it's an epoxy/acrylic hybrid that says it's easy to sand, I don't know yet as all I had to do was scuff it. I'll keep updating as I get into blocking it next week.
It won't be as durable as a true epoxy primer and solvent resistance is not as good but most of these hybrids trade off those qualities for sandability. If you're looking for a true epoxy primer that sands well SPI is the best I have found. Many are using it from start to finish now.
SPI Epoxy sands awesome and adheres great. I see no reason to not use it instead of ANY other dtm primer or treatment.
I must add that I do not use any por type products and dont believe in painting over rust, so I have no idea how SPI Epoxy would perform over such substrates.
When an epoxy balls up and gums the paper its most likely not completely cured OR it wasnt properly mixed to the right ratio....I've had epoxy take a week to cure sometimesbut it was really piled on there
After having this trouble with it, I thought it must be an epoxy hybrid, and SOME five star xtreme high build primer is a hybrid. Xtreme 5425 IS a hybrid, it says so in the description, but what I used, Xtreme 5451 says nothing about being a hybrid. All I know is, I used an Eastwood epoxy on this car and it is not that much worse to sand than this 5 star 2k, I've never used a 2k this bad to sand. I'm just going to sand it down as much as possible, and reprime with another primer. Probably Sherwin williams, since that's the BC/C I'll be using. Anybody use Sherwin Williams primer?
I sprayed my 28 Ford Roadster pickup with SPI epoxy primer,I LOVE IT,the neat thing is,that it (SPI)has a good shine.so,very easy to sand and see when its smooth and ready for the topcoat of paint...:)

If each of these circuits have their own fuse and they all blow when their used, then I'd say the short is in the fuse box or the wiring harness. If all these are on the same circuit and only one fuse blows then I would isolate the problem by turning one thing on and see if fuse blows if not try the next one until the fuse blows, then you'll know where to start looking for the problem short , if its a short to ground, bad switch, overheating relay etc. good luck

My son will be turning three in January. He's always been spirited but lately his raging temper tantrums have gotten worse or i've become worse at handling them.
They happen every single day. I feel so frustrated and like such a failure because I have no idea how to subdue them. He becomes like a wild boar. It's horrible. I try to curb them early, but every day something sets him off. It makes me want to cry. I'm exhausted from all my tactics.
He naps in guarderia (Spanish daycare) and eats rather early, so I do try to get him fed when he comes home. I know the little guy must be tired as well, but I pick him up at such an awkward time that it's tricky to get him down for a nap. So we spend our afternoons like this:
- Pick up, quick activity (like a walk around the block or juice at the nearby cafe)
- Home/snack time where we watch an episode of Dora or two
- Outside park time
- Home to cook dinner...he plays with his toys
- Dad comes home and I let him takeover.
- Bath, bed. Done.
Usually between steps one and bed time, he has a prolonged temper tantrum. Like, balls out. And he-s started calling me tanto, something he picked up in the guarde.
Point is, I honestly don't know what to do about these rage fits. He has his blue chair for when things get out of hand, but does he really get that he's there because he's flown off the handle? I tell him why he-s there before and after. But still, I don't know if perhaps he-s too young for time out. I don-t know.
I try so hard to be patient. But sometimes, seriously, I just want to crawl under the covers and hide.
Any and all advice welcome.
My friend and her son learned different anger-management techniques...not that he got angry really but he got emotional easy and would throw fits...which sounds like what you're describing. They practiced these a lot (when he wasn't throwing a fit) and over time were able to start employing them during the fit-throwing times:

R (1/3/2015) and DSD (16).
though I feel for you, I also feel comforted- because I am reminded that I (my husband included) are not alone with our daily battles with our 3 year old son and his temper tantrums!!!
We too struggle and I have recently felt a bit lost in my sense of 'motherhood'. My birth and his first months were natural and beautiful.... but it is now, in the toddler stage that I feel at a loss.
I can't tell you the amount of playdates and shopping centres that we have had to "leave early" or just plain leave with him in a complete fit, screaming, kicking and melting down at the fact that the play time is over.
I am an educator and I have many skills and tricks up my sleeve, but when it comes to my son- I totally want to throw in the towel! I have had so many moments when I return to daycare to pick him up after a long day of working with kids and all I want is to be with my son,... to often have him hit me or yell because I am having him leave daycare when something he feels that is 'fun' is happening!!!
I can tell you, it is heart breaking. Because I know that my son also has a wonderful, caring, expressive and nurturing side- that many others (and often daycare often says he is a real joy to have!) And it has taken a toll on my self confidence as a mother and I have to remind myself to be gentle to myself and to not own his actions.
My husband and I continue to communicate on our styles of discipline and yes, we have MANY moments of time out in our house on a nightly basis.... but we are trying to stay calm (which is hard to do) and routine and so he knows our boundaries and at the end of it all... we ALWAYS let him know that he is loved.
Mothers who do not have children who are "spirited" or "challenging" don't truly know the extent of the effort and time that this type of personality, and the true heart ache that it can bring to any parent. It can truly wear you down.
I have to admit,that in this last year, I have felt like "throwing in the towel to parenthood".... but I am stopped dead in my tracks when my beautiful son layers me with kisses and hugs and reminds me, that he is worth it all.... and our time and energy will pay off in the long run.
To all you other parents out there who share a similar story... remember, you're not alone - and like childbirth, this too will pass!

Inter-species playtime
Get out the Sheltie cute – o- meter!
Get out the Sheltie cute – o- meter!
Too cute! my first sheltie when I was a kid would help round up our pet rabbits (all ten of them) when they got loose out doors.
Ewwwwwe…I didn't notice any munching going on. No kisses after eating THAT kibble! :)
This little guy has found himself a job that Shelties love.
In our world, the wild rabbits are cleaned up after! They leave behind kibble (rabbit pellets) that Shelties snack on.
This little guy is herding for kibble. He is cute and recycling.

On Apr.25, Fedora assumed he was talking in a private setting at a Ram's Club booster event in Charlotte when he answered a question about the rivalry by saying the game was 184 days away.
He then added his now infamous remark: "I don't want to talk about it too much, because I don't want to legitimize their program."
On the way to the airport following the event, Fedora check his Twitter feed only to find it overrun by N.C. State fans. He played the politically correct card at his next booster outing, only noting the countdown of days and saying that he had learned his lesson.
Fedora would stress the importance of the rivalry in a different way less than a month later. In a series of hype videos for the upcoming season, the team mascots of every team on the schedule were named in rapid succession all in white lettering, except for one.
There was a "state" in red lettering slotted in between "blue devils" and "yellow jackets." The implied emphasis promptly became a hit with the Tar Heel fan base.
So while Fedora has continued to play the status quo card with media in highlighting the next game as the most important, Sunday's locker room decorations spoke volumes.
There were posters of N.C. State's schedule, photos of Wolfpack team celebrations and red and white ribbons taped to the walls, as well as a handful of personalized NCSU items aimed at specific Tar Heel players, according offensive guard Jonathan Cooper.
"When I came in, it was all ripped down and in the middle of the floor," Cooper said on Monday. "But I grabbed a few of the things and taped them up in my locker."
Cornerback Jabari Price told reporters the coaching staff's theatrics obtained its desired effect. Players were flying around with intensity during Sunday afternoon's practice session, as the Duke loss from the night before had been replaced with a dramatic splash of the rivalry week to come.
Fedora, of course, downplayed the decorations during his weekly press conference.
"It ties in with everything," he said. "We have stuff in the locker room each week on teams, but, again, we do things to motivate our players I'm sure just like everybody else does. I don't know if that's a big deal or not."
After stressing the "all games count the same" angle prior to the Duke contest, Fedora was more open on Monday in acknowledging the magnitude of this weekend's affair.
"We only get 12 opportunities and we're running out of opportunities," Fedora said. "This is the next one and it's the big one because it's our rivalry game. I can't tell you that we go out and change the way we practice, but it's something that is talked about amongst the team and it's talked about with the coaches and everybody. Everybody understands the importance of it."
Fedora indicated that he's heard about this rivalry since the first handshake upon taking the UNC job and fully understands what the fan base wants and expects.
There's a fine line with regard to embracing rivalries that is difficult to manage. Place too much emphasis on one game (see former UNC head coach John Bunting) and you can be saddled with inconsistency in other areas of the schedule. Adopt the NFL approach of "all 12 games are equal" (see former UNC head coach Butch Davis) and you can fail to match the intensity level of a hated rival.
Thus far, Fedora is playing his hand just right. He's providing the proper sound bites while making strong statements with his actions leading up to the first benchmark game of his tenure in Chapel Hill.

Baghdad cafe waitresses break down barriers
By Aseel Kami
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Hind al-Bidairi's dream of owning a cafe with an all-female waiting staff haunted her for years while Iraq was gripped by sectarian violence.
Islamic fundamentalists would most likely have slaughtered her and her employees had she dared.
But now, as Iraq struggles free from widespread bloodshed and the Islamist militia and insurgents who once sowed terror by killing women they considered inappropriately dressed have retreated to the shadows, her dream has come true.
"I stand behind every woman trying to change the pattern of our society, to show that women are strong and have the right to get involved in all kinds of business," Bidairi said.
In the sectarian war that followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, groups like al-Qaeda fought to establish a system where the wearing of western style clothing by women instead of the hijab -- a Muslim headscarf -- was "haram," forbidden.
Running a business that employed waitresses would likely have been viewed with outrage by religious purists.
The rise to power of Iraq's Shi'ite Muslim majority after the fall of Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein was accompanied by the rise of religious parties not all that sympathetic to calls for gender equality.
Violence has fallen sharply, although there are still daily bombings and attacks by a stubborn Sunni insurgency. Continued...

Stones and gems come in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes. You can use our handy photo guide to help identify your treasures.
Types of Stones
Pyrite is the classic "Fool's Gold". There are other shiny brassy yellow minerals, but pyrite is by far the most common and the most often mistaken for gold. Whether it is the golden look or something else, pyrite is a favorite among rock collectors. It can have a beautiful luster and interesting crystals. It is so common in the earth's crust that it is found in almost every possible environment, hence it has a vast number of forms and varieties.
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz and is a popular gemstone. If it were not for its widespread availability, amethyst would be very expensive. The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek and means "not drunken." This was maybe due to a belief that amethyst would ward off the effects of alcohol, but most likely the Greeks were referring to the almost wine-like color of some stones that they may have encountered. Its color is unparalleled, and even other, more expensive purple gemstones are often compared to its color and beauty. Although it must always be purple to be amethyst, it can and does have a wide range of purple shades.
Quartz is the most common mineral on the face of the Earth. It is found in nearly every geological environment and is at least a component of almost every rock type. It frequently is the primary mineral, >98%. It is also the most varied in terms of varieties, colors and forms. This variety comes about because of the abundance and widespread distribution of quartz. A collector could easily have hundreds of quartz specimens and not have two that are the same due to the many broad categories.
Kyanite is a polymorph with two other minerals; andalusite and sillimanite. A polymorph is a mineral that shares the same chemistry but a different crystal structure with another, or other, minerals. Kyanite is an attractive mineral that has a near sapphire like blue color in some especially nice specimens. Kyanite has a unique characteristic in that it has a wide variation in hardness, in the same crystal. The hardness of kyanite is approx. 4.5 when scratched parallel to the long axis of the crystal and approx. 6.5 when scratched perpendicular to or across the long axis. Other minerals usually have variable hardness on different crystal faces due to a different concentration and oreintation of the atoms in the structure. Diamond is one such mineral, a fact gem cutters take advantage of often.
Color is steel or silver gray to black in some forms and red to brown in earthy forms. Sometimes tarnished with irredescent colors when in a hydrated form (called Turgite). Luster is metallic or dull in earthy and oolitic forms. Transparency: Crystals are opaque. Crystal System is trigonal; bar 3 2/m Crystal Habits include tabular crystals of varying thickness sometimes twinned, micaceous (specular), botryoidal and massive. also earthy or oolitic. Cleavage is absent however there is a parting on two planes. Fracture is uneven. Hardness is 5 – 6
Citrine is a beautiful yellow stone. Named from the French name for lemon, "citron," many citrines have a juicy lemon color. Like amethyst, citrine is a gem variety of quartz. The gem's varying yellow color comes from trace elements of iron. It is a popular less expensive alternative to the much more expensive yellow sapphire or yellow diamond. To create wonderful multi-colored jewelry, it is often combined with other stones such as: peridot, amethyst, and garnet. November Birthstone.

Library Week has brought us a gift from "the land downunder." The Australian Law Librarians' Association
(ALLA) and 3 other Library organzations (The Australian Library and InformationAssociation (ALIA), Health Libraries Inc (HLInc),Health Libraries Australia (HLA)) collaborated on a study to measure the Return on Investment of Australian special libraries.The partners commissioned award-winning firm SGS Economics and Planning to study special libraries across the nation. This week, the final report was issued " Putting a Value on Priceless" which provides an independent assessment of the return on investment provided to organizations which have their own special libraries and information services in Australia.
The Report Identifies The Services Provided by Information Professionals:
The Survey was conducted between June and September 2013 and was supplemented by in depth case studies. 5% of Australia's 2200 special libraries participated.
Conservatively, special libraries are estimated to deliver $5.43 in value for every one dollar spent. The true value is likely even higher
The study does not calculate the additional economic benefit of two benefits which information professionals provide. 1. improved quality of results provided and 2. the savings negotiated by librarians in procurement and assessment process. So it may not be a stretch to assume that if these other factors were calculated in the ratio of value to cost might be 10 to 1. So the 5.43 to one ratio is quite conservative.
The report concludes that an increased investment in libraries and hiring of more information professionals would " unleash the potential for significant incremental benefits."
Benefits Provided by Information Professionals
· Assure that decisions are supported by solid facts
· Develop a customized suite of print and digital resources to support the organizations needs
· Provide access to non digital resources though expert knowledge of external resources and resource sharing from other special and academic libraries
· Source obscure facts. Saves time and costs less per hour to accomplish result than if project assigned to a non-librarian
· Higher quality results. The average researcher uses a basic Google search and never looks past the first 2 pages of results. 98% of non-librarians have never used the advanced search on Google.
· Libraries support organizational due diligence and reduce risks of ill informed decision making. In the case of law firms this means providing bad advice to clients and risking malpractice claims.
· Fast and thorough searches, presenting the latest, most comprehensive and accurate information to executives and practitioners.
· Training to enable library users to carry out their own searches of electronic databases more efficiently and effectively.
· The expertise of the information professionals is what drives the $5.43 ROI per dollar.
· Filtered, evaluated and packaged search results.
· Relevant, tailored, current information from national and international sources.
· Assistance for people who are studying for a tertiary qualification and training to achieve a higher level of competency.
· Manage a dynamic collection of physical and online resources, so staff can access up-to-date, authoritative resources, and make well-informed decisions.
· Negotiate with publishers of books, journals and online resources, to achieve the best value for the department.
· Ensure the materials and the ways they are used are copyright compliant.
I want to thank all of the Australian Library Associations for undertaking this study. Library Directors around the world have been seeking the elusive ROI metric for years. AALL is undertaking a Value of Law Libraries Study and it will be interesting to see if they can also provide a solid RIO metric for US law libraries. If the studies deliver consistent results it will strengthen the credibility of these metrics as reliable benchmarks. I am happy to celebrate Library Week with the highly useful metric provided by the Australian Special Libraries/SGS Economics and Planning report.

Eco-restoration of a high-sulphur coal mine overburden dumping site in northeast India: A case study

Eco-restoration of mine overburden (OB) or abandoned mine sites is a major environmental concern. In the present investigation, an integrated approach was used to rejuvenate a high-sulphur mine OB dumping site in the Tirap Collieries, Assam, India, which is situated in the Indo-Burma mega-biodiversity hotspot. A mine OB is devoid of true soil character with poor macro and micronutrient content and contains elevated concentrations of trace and heavy metals. Planting of herbs, shrubs, cover crops and tree species at close proximity leads to primary and secondary sere state succession within a period of 3 to 5 years. A variety of plant species were screened for potential use in restoration: herbs, including Sccharum spontaneum, Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt (citronella), and Cymbopogon flexuosus (lemon grass) cover plants, including Mimosa strigillosa, M. striata, and M. pigra; shrubs, including Sesbania rostrata (dhaincha) and Cassia streata (cassia); and tree species, including Gmelina arborea (gomari) and Dalbergia sissoo (sissoo). Amendment with unmined soil and bio-organic matter was required for primary establishment of some plant species. Management of these plant species at the site will ensure long term sustainable eco-restoration of the coal mine-degraded land.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
It just comes down to mind of matter... The placebo is just a tool to help those with a not so strong mind, a little crutch if you will to help trick themselves into recovery
This worked so well on my kids! I used to give them a teaspoon of blueberry syrup as medicine.
It completely works. I've seen it in the hospital. For legal reasons I can't give specifics, but it works amazingly well. The mind doesn't need to be weak, the person just needs to believe they are getting something that will help them. Given a opiate induces pain relief. If a person receives something other accidentally, but believes they are getting the opiate, they will have the relaxation effect knowing pain relief is coming soon, producing some endogenous opioid like chemicals that function to relieve pain in much the same way.
Granted, it doesn't always work, but it happens often enough. Our body is very connected to our mind. That is why some people can go through biofeedback therapy to learn to manage their own painful conditions without resorting to medication.
I think it is more effective on some than others & in certain situations. I also think Dr's overuse the idea at times thinking someone is having a placebo effect when in fact they may just be having a reduction in symptoms that is coincidence or in fact it worked...as in the case with homeopathy. Many Dr's will tell it' s a placebo, but I used that stuff with my babies & as far as I know babies aren't prone to placebo effects. And I didn't try that first, first I tried the stuff the Dr said would work - it did not. Then I tried stuff like Hyland's colic calm (MUCH better than gas drops) and teething tablets (far better for us that tylenol, motrin or orajel). So I think it depends. I certainly think that believing you are well or getting well helps - but I am not sure that is enough often. There are plenty of times I've taken something thinking it would work when it did not - like with my migraines.
Saves me money on the real stuff..
Placebo effect? Bah!!
I rely on 100% genuine homeopathic remedies for my ailments!
wingedsurfgirl wrote:It completely works. I've seen it in the hospital.
Not always. I was once enrolled in a double-blind study where I was completely convinced I was receiving the real medication. When it was over, I learned I had been on the placebo, and low and behold, my bloodwork and symptoms remained unchanged.

How Fracking Changed the World
Fracking has vociferous critics and fervent defenders, but the debate between these camps has obscured the actual story: Fracking has become a fixture of the American landscape and the global economy. Wall Street Journal investigative reporter Russell Gold looks at how this has happened and how it's changing the environment and the world. His book The Boom: How Fracking Ignited the American Energy Revolution and Changed the World is based on 10 years of reporting.

A New Kind Of Fairy Tale
Once upon a time, there was an shy little duckling, and a 2-pack of Iron Horse Vineyards Fairy Tale Celebration Cuvée.
The duckling always sat alone, because it thought it was ugly, and it had no confidence. Until one night when the moon was full, and it noticed the Iron Horse Vineyards Fairy Tale Celebration Cuvée Two Pack was right there on the table, beside an enchanted plastic cup that was sort of clean.
On the first sip, the shy little duckling noticed the nose. Strawberry and ripe red apple, the duckling's favorite fruits! On the second, the shy little duckling noticed the flavors: apricot, cherry, strawberry and cardamom. And on the third, the shy little duckling was starting to come up with the BEST pick up lines ever! Like "Quack quack quack? Quack QUACK quack quack!"
About an hour later, the falsely-confident little duckling was standing on a table with a lampshade on his head, pouring Iron Horse Vineyards Fairy Tale Celebration Cuvée for all his new friends. And he lived happily ever after. Until he woke up the next morning, that is.

Starting salaries for new police recruits are to be cut by nearly a fifth as part of an overhaul of pay and conditions, Home Secretary Theresa May announced today.
Mrs May told MPs that she would be cutting the starting salary for police constables with no previous experience by more than £4,000 to £19,000 in line with recommendations from a report by former rail regulator Tom Winsor.
It proposed a series of reforms to pay and conditions, designed to divert more money to frontline officers and improve efficiency, in a package opposed by rank and file leaders.
Mrs May said today, however, that she would be pressing ahead with key parts of Mr Winsor's proposals after they were given the go-ahead by the Police Arbitration Tribunal. It means that new recruits with no experience will start on £19,000, compared with the current figure of £23,259, although those who have worked as special constables or as community support officers will begin on £22,000.
Officers in London will also receive up to about £6,615 extra to reflect the higher cost of living.
The Home Secretary said the changes would "re-target pay to reward contribution" and increase flexibility. The Police Federation said it was "disappointed", while Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs select committee, said it would damage morale in the police force which was already at "an all-time low".Reuse content
