Large pull-type sprayers are one option if you are looking for the ability to spray a lot of ground without the expense of a self-propelled sprayer. Operating a pull-type sprayer without running down your crop can be a challenge though. The new Fast 9420 pull-type sprayer is a high-clearance, high-capacity model with several unique features to make the job easier.
The 9420 is configured as a short-coupled trailer that improves row tracking and minimizes trailer drift (dog tracking) on side hill applications and at headlands. The new design is also better at accommodating narrow-row crops.
Other new features include a 62- to 120-in. adjustable axle; easier access to the tank fill-well; high-performance, high-pressure product pumps; and a simple-to-use streamlined plumbing system.
A reengineered truss design on the boom arms eliminates boom tip vibration. Tanks are all standard with long sloping trough-style sumps and 1 ¼-in. full-length stainless steel agitation tubes. Tanks are available in 1,000-, 1,250- and 1,500-gal. sizes. Boom sizes are available from 60 to 90 ft. with no-drip nozzle outlets at various spacings. Numerous tire and rim options are available.
Other standard features include the Fast center-pivot boom system, durable baked-on powder coat paint, 50-gal. rinse system, 2-in. bottom fill, Raven 450 auto control system, and motorized ball-valve shutoffs. Options include automatic boom height controllers from Raven and Norac, guidance systems, foam markers, Hypro eductors, dual wheels and rubber tracks. A field ready model 9420 with 1,250-gal. tank and 90-ft. boom retails for about $30,000.

Sweet and Sour Crab Claws
Sweet and Sour Crab Claws – crab claws, ketchup, chili sauce, egg, ginger, garlic, cilantro.
8 oz crab claws
1 tablespoon ketchup (tomato sauce)
1 tablespoon chili sauce
1/2 beaten egg
1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup water + 1/2 teaspoon corn starch
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
A few slices of ginger (finely chopped)
1 garlic (finely chopped)
Some chopped cilantro (coriander leaves)
Heat up a wok and add the cooking oil. When the oil is heated, add the chopped garlic and ginger and stir-fry until aromatic, then follow by the crab claws.
Quickly stir the crab claws a few times before adding the ketchup, chili sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Toss the crab claws around with the spatula before adding water.
Bring the sauce to boil and then add the beaten egg. Let it cook for about 1 minute or until the egg is set. Stir the egg around, dish out and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with steamed white rice.
Recently, I have been in high gear working on my cookbook, developing recipes, cooking, food styling, and shooting.
I work on my cookbook almost every day and my life has been consumed by it, pretty much! The good news is that the list of to-do recipes are getting shorter by the day.
I have given myself a hard deadline of June 1st to finish cooking the dishes so I have three months to work on the writing and miscellaneous stuff. (My deadline is September 1st!).
It's really not easy, especially I am also tasked with food styling and photography. My creative juice has been sucked dry right about now because of it—every single dish needs a different composition, mood, props, and styling, which is the toughest part for me.
I am quite pleased with the results so far and I am sure you will, too. The food in the cookbook all look delicious and the food photography is quite different from what you see here on Rasa Malaysia, a completely different style which is more refined, professional, and cookbook-worthy…
Anyway, I disgress.
I got some crab claws yesterday for a recipe on the cookbook and had some leftover. I also had a leftover beaten egg from the egg wash. So, I made sweet and sour crab claws, with the egg, ala Singapore chili crab-style.
Since my crab claws were frozen, they lack the natural sweetness. The sauce is great nonetheless. If you have a fresh crab, this sweet and sour crab recipe will shine. And I am sure you have noticed, I haven't styled my blog food photography lately. Gotta save the creative mojo for the cookbook!

now i don't know bjork right
13 comments:
Personally, I think this is an amazing post. As a small company that deals with promoting releases and artists, that has a great distaste for the attitude and strategy of the major labels, we know how it feels to be party to a fuck up, but were always insured and eventually, always recovered; even if it was a few weeks down the line.
It's gutting that this happened, but it's not the end of the world and all this charity shit, as you very rightly say, is mindless profiteering. We like you guys as a band and shit, now we respect you as people too.

has anyone even ascertained whether the blaze was caused by 'rioters', and not just a huge insurance scam? It's a very bizarre situation...

Alec and you make me feel guilty for having given a few pounds to the labellove fundraiser (it was set up by a fellow 405 gal tho, so 100% honest I guess?)
- August 13, 2011 at 8:03 AM
- johnny foreigner said...
ha alec and me. please use that sentence again! i left charity names out cos im sure there's people out there doing it for the right reasons; but it doesn't change the fact it'll be a lot more beneficial to help out the bands you love than donate to a charity that hasn't even decided how it can help yet.
i have respect for the 405, i'd guess that anyone who writes for them is in a better position that most to call this properly.
so i hope they've considered all the points i raised here, long before i raised them, and have a fair distribution system that takes all these factors in
labellove already has a profile bigger than some of the labels and artists affected.
england is weird right now, #riotcleanup and a massive mutual wereallinshittogether atmosphere and strangers genuinely helping each other. the fire has fucked a lot of people over. its those with the bigger profiles and the mainstream ties that stand to profit from the publicity, the sympathy turned into extra sales.
and it would be fucking dark if even one of those cunts recieved a charity donation before, say, rolo tomassi or fat cat are compensated and also have cakes baked for them.
i hope they understand this, and genuinely, i hope they prove me wrong and can find a way to split stuff fairly and deservingly amongst those who need it

Next Mascara for testing, is Imju Fiberwig.
A bit of a cult item, this has been the number one seller in Japan, due its supposed lengthening and curling abilities. There are a lot of fibers in this Mascara, so a few coats is supposed to give the false lash effect (but allow 10 seconds between each coat).
So I tracked one down on Ebay selling for around £10.
The brush head is big, considering that this is a Japanese product – normally for short lashes, a smaller brush is a bit more user friendly, but lets not be judgemental…
Sorry only two pics this time.
Now to be fair, every mascara I test will be used on its own on clean lashes, curled, with no base. I will only use one coat.
Lengthening – Very good. It gives those sort of slightly spidery long lashes, but they are long. 8/10.
Volumising – Nope, not this one. 4/10. But you can try applying more layers.
Brush – Bit big for mini lashes? But nice if you already have lush lashes. 6/10
Staying Power – Very good. No smudging or running, like a lot of Japanese mascaras. 9/10.
Smell – No scent! which is good….
Clump or no Clump? – When I applied 3 coats there was a bit of clumping but not much. 8/10
Price – Neither cheap not expensive but for ladies out of Asia, shipping may add on cost, 7/10
Packaging – Simple red tube, nothing to write home about. 5/10
Ease Of Removal – Not as tough as some mascara's but leaves those annoying little fibers, 6/10
Curl Factor – Erm – none. Ziltch. Zero. Nada. Not for me and I really tried to make this work. It did not hold any curl for me. I'll be nice and give it 1/10 because it must work for someone.
Verdict – Despite the raves I have a huge problem with this mascara and that is the fibre content. I have a lot of mascaras with fibres in it, but this Deja Vu one irritates my eyes like crazy! I have a powder product which is pure fibres (for lashes) and that can irritate but no where near this product. I wonder if it is the brush? But seriously, if I put this on, I have to be very very careful only to get the tips. The pain is instant. Also there is no curling hold, or curl enhancement. It made my lashes poker straight by weighing them down and keeping them straight. I can't honestly say there are much redeeming features for me. It is a nice lengthener.
So overall score….3/10. Don't shoot me, please.

I cant believe that I have the opportunity to be the very first to post on a brand new recipe- Yeah me!
Tonight I was inspired to make Cream of Cauliflower soup but instead of blue cheese in the fritters I used tiny cubes of pepper jack and american cheddar I froze. Of course it was enjoyed by all so many thanks to you C.J.
As for this recipe once you put up the video I will be making this by the weekend. I see beautiful boneless breast in buttery parsley sauce looks like Sunday lunch to me.

Dear Chef John,
I'm standing in the kitchen, making gyros for lunch, which I love - but my mom bought it canned, and that takes out a great deal of taste. So I was wondering if there is a delicious Chef-John-gyros-recipe. But according to the search box and to my utter surprise, there isn't... So here is my food wish: Gyros!! Is that possible? :)
Many greetings from Germany!!!!
PS: I absolutely love your blog and already missionized my best friend, with whom I made the onion rings and the real carbonara (not at the same day). It was terrific.

I saw you were in Western NY, but in Rochester, wow. Is the Chicken French from Proietti's or somewhere else. I learned to make it at the hands of Whitey myself when I took one of his classes about a year ago. If not, I would suggest that you at least go to Webster, and give it a try.

Looks delicious!
BTW, you forgot to link your preview video of it on Youtube, dear Chef John.
- July 23, 2010 at 3:47 PM
my father-in-law is from rochester, so when my husband and i were still living in the states, we would drive up to the fingerlakes and visit the wineries.
never heard of this dish, though. but that doesn't mean i'm not going to try this recipe. i sure will!

"Crush your enemies. Drive them before you and listen to the lamentations of the women."
- Conan the Barbarian.
Typically, the aforementioned mantra isn't the type of inspiration I quote after driving a car. Then again, I never drove the Brabus B63-620. Lesser vehicles cower in our wake, and I swear the pavement has been permanently wrinkled. I'm sure women are crying too... somewhere.
Just a stone's throw from the decommissioned El Toro Marine base sits the Brabus West Coast operation. Peter Moeller, a 25-year Brabus veteran, knows the area and takes us to a desolate stretch of airbase tarmac. "Just punch it," he commanded, his accent an exotic blend of Southern California and Bottrop, Germany.
The 4400 lb sedan responds as though wired directly to my amygdale; the quickest and most responsive part of the brain. Although Peter tells me the sound from the adjustable Brabus exhaust is wonderful, I can't hear it. I think we're leaving the sound in our wake. We're outrunning our own noise.
Within 10sec the speedo reads 165mph, with no intention of stopping. "The car will touch 202- to 209mph, depending on the humidity", chirped Peter. "I'm glad it's a dry day. Less moisture means more speed."
I'm not looking at the speedometer any more, but judging by my tunnel vision, we're close to 185mph and the road is coming to an end.
Thoughts of paying for the damage flash through my head. At this speed, it would be totaled. I wonder what the car payment on $180,000 is?
I don't so much hit the brakes as I punch them. It feels as though time has slowed and I experience whatever the opposite of tunnel vision is. Everything has been compressed into a blob of colorless matter. A few seconds later and it's normal again. Peter is cheerful as ever, humming to himself and admiring the local flora. He doesn't notice me, probably because I've gone from ghostly white to clear. I've frightened myself to invisibility.
"Bah", says Peter. "You had plenty of room. Plus the brakes on this car are very good." I laugh hysterically, probably because I'm alive. A moment ago I thought we were dead and we're now cruising through a Starbucks.
The Brabus B63 is a genuine schizophrenic ride. The interior refinement is beyond measure and reeks of cool Germanic understatement. The specially prepared Brabus leather feels like thick silk, except it grabs your backside through spirited corners. I imagine it's the same stuff royalty uses on the saddle of million-dollar Arabian stallions.
Peter points out a pair of Brabus alloy shift paddles on both sides of the steering wheel. I depress the downshift paddle and the B63 leaps forward, bellowing its presence with a mechanical symphony only a Mercedes V8 can deliver.
It's this blend of hedonistic luxury and mind-warping power that makes the B63-620 so intriguing.
With reduced displacement and twin turbochargers, the CLS63 5.5-liter V8 produces a respectable 518hp at 5250-5750rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque at 1750-5000rpm. Its twin turbochargers spin to 185000rpm and dramatically boost low-end grunt. High-pressure direct injection fine-tunes the fuel spray, while multi-spark ignition fires up to four times each millisecond. Its 32-valves are driven by dual overhead cams that precisely vary the timing up to 40?. Along with substantially improved efficiency and emissions, it delivers 60mph in a breathtaking 4.4sec.
Yet regardless of this impressive factory-delivered performance, Bodo Buschmann and the crew at Brabus insist every car they deliver best those rolling of the line at Stuttgart.
In regards to the CLS featured here, Brabus engineers built a secondary computer that links into the main unit. While Peter referred to it as a "piggyback", it's nothing like some questionable products we've seen, where the black box fools the main computer into over-boosted shenanigans. The Brabus unit is wrought from the same Mercedes board and code, yet remains separate to avoid erasure during routine vehicle maintenance when new code can replace the old. The Brabus module raises boost to proprietary Brabus levels (we're guessing 16.5psi). It also optimizes fueling and spark. All told, the car produces another 102hp, raising its peak to 620hp and a spine-compressing 663 lb-ft. This is what gives the B63 its 620 suffix. You can also purchase a B63-500 based on the CLS500 that boast a convenient 500hp.
Despite its prodigious power, the AMG seven-speed transmission flows through each gear change like it's been launched from the world's largest slingshot. There's no slamming or lurching, just a sensation of thrust that won't end.
The exterior has been augmented with jewel-like, autoclave-wrought carbon fiber. The Brabus front spoiler, fender vents, rear diffuser and trunk spoiler are positively gorgeous, lending a touch of aggression to this button-down player.
The side skirts feature LED lights around the perimeter and illuminate the B63 like it's hovering on a suspensor field. Brabus uses a special
high-tech adhesive to affix the parts: The skirts and rear diffuser are replacements that use the original mounting points.
This car was fitted with the Brabus Sport exhaust, a stainless steel system that terminates in a matte titanium finish. It features an electronic valve that changes the car's voice from tenor to baritone, activated by a button in the ashtray. The power increase is negligible, but the sound is genuinely intoxicating.
The B63 rides on forged Brabus Monoblock R wheels measuring 19x8.5" front and 9.5" rear. Shod with Continental SportContact 5P tires (255/35 and 285/30), they have their limits but it would take a long, fast racetrack to find them. On the street they're quiet and very comfortable.
Out-the-box, the CLS 63 represents the pinnacle of sport sedans. The Brabus B63-620 treatment sharpens its edge to the point of invisibility. I'm sure Conan would approve.

This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image shows three galaxies playing a game of gravitational tug-of-war that may result in the eventual demise of one of them.
Located about 100 million light-years away in the constellation Piscis Austrinus (the Southern Fish), the galaxy interaction may ultimately lead to the three reforming into two larger star cities.
The three galaxies – NGC 7173 (middle left), NGC 7174 (middle right), and NGC 7176 (lower right) – are part of Hickson Compact Group 90, named after astronomer Paul Hickson, who first cataloged these small clusters of galaxies in the 1980s. NGC 7173 and NGC 7176 appear to be smooth, normal elliptical galaxies without much gas and dust.
In stark contrast, NGC 7174 is a mangled spiral galaxy that appears as though it is being ripped apart by its close neighbors. The galaxies are experiencing a strong gravitational interaction, and as a result, a significant number of stars have been ripped away from their home galaxies. These stars are now spread out, forming a tenuous luminous component in the galaxy group.
Ultimately, astronomers believe that NGC 7174 will be shredded and only the two "normal" elliptical galaxies (NGC 7173 and NGC 7176) will remain.
Hubble imaged these galaxies with the Advanced Camera for Surveys in May 2006.

Chris Thompson attended the Comica Conversation between Richard McGuire and Steven Appleby on 14 November 2011. The following review appeared at Pop Culture Hound.
Although the weather had taken a turn and there was a definite chill in the air, around 30 people turned up at Gosh! Comics in London last night for a very special conversation between two incredible artists. I have to admit I'm not actually one of the cool kids - I wasn't aware of Richard McGuire or Steven Appleby prior to this latest Comica Festival event being announced - but once I saw their work and some of the amazing things they've done, I just had to be part of it.
Things kicked off just after 7pm with comics impresario Paul Gravett on hand to moderate and keep the night flowing. He had an easy job this time around as both artists were engaging, interesting, and had a lot to say about their work. As always, I was there to take notes and capture some of the key points of the evening, so that you didn't have to… Enjoy!
RICHARD McGUIRE
Starting the talk, McGuire explained that he was most interested in structure first and then hanging things on that structure. This is the foundation for most of his work, and it shows.
He displayed a number of cartoons on the big screen provided, including one called The Thinkers which follows people's trains of thought as they escape the panels and, ultimately, the page. Like his famous strip Here, it makes use of unusual panel layouts and grids to convey these thoughts.
In 2003 he contributed a six-page strip to McSweeney's, curated by Chris Ware. It was about control and the idea came from working on the garden at his cabin in upstate New York. He started to think of what this garden would look like from above - a tiny square of perfectly manicured soil and vegetation - and the ridiculousness of the thought inspired him. A lot of inspiration seems to come from the mundane aspects of life.
At one point he started experimenting with calligraphy, which led him to discover new shapes and ideas. This resulted in the book Popeye & Olive, which was released by French publisher Cornelius. McGuire describes it as '...an abstract love story based around shapes' which '...provides a vocabulary of their relationship'.
Many people read unintended sexual meaning and symbology into the book, which McGuire had not foreseen. It got him thinking and he followed it up with a second book, P&O, which used the same method to express the sexual adventures of Popeye & Olive.
McGuire's most famous work is probably Here, which was published in Art Spiegelman's RAW Volume 2 #1 in 1989. It tells the story of one location over time by just showing one corner of a room. In doing this he makes the little moments seem really important, while the bigger moments become more trivial and zoom by.
The inspiration for Here came when he moved into a new apartment and was thinking about who had lived there before. He'd also done an art class under Spiegelman and was thinking about doing a split-panel strip for an assignment, so that was also on his mind.
McGuire is now preparing a book based on Here to explore and expand the concept further. He experimented with using the book format to simulate the corners themselves (an open book forms a right angle), but found the idea too restrictive. There's still a lot to do and at this stage the book is scheduled for Fall 2014.
He does a lot of work in Adobe Illustrator these days - scanning in sketches, then tracing them, manipulating and moving things around, adding effects, and dropping the original layers. Although he's experimented with doing some pieces solely in Illustrator, he's found that it's too controlled and not loose enough for his liking.
The idea is to make Here more textural this time around. To achieve this he's experimented a lot with painting, photography and other media, but each one seems to have its shortcomings. Paintings are too large and his scanner can't handle them, while photographs don't offer a high enough resolution for what he wants.
While working on the original strip, McGuire went through a dilemma as he felt he had no particular style. Ultimately he decided to tell the story and not worry about it as the story was more important than his own concerns.
McGuire grew up in New Jersey and told the story of how archaeologists came to his family home to ask permission to dig up their backyard. His mother said no, but apparently it was once an Indian burial ground. This inspired the scene where the Indian dies on the patch of ground where the corner of the room will eventually be.
He has since researched the tribe who used the burial ground and discovered they were the same ones who settled Manhattan. For the new version of Here, McGuire is trying to incorporate their language into the book (with appropriate subtitles, of course).
As part of his research, McGuire has built styrofoam sets and filmed them to simulate various things, including the way sunlight plays through the windows at various times of day. He showed a brief sample from one of these videos to illustrate the point.
When he's not working on side projects, McGuire's day job (as such) is doing covers, strips and occasional interiors for The New Yorker. Once again this is a wonderful avenue for him to experiment and play with new ideas.
For a Valentine's Day cover, he depicted a large group of people all checking one another out - it was inspired by watching people at the airport. Then, for April Fools' Day 1995, he decided to create a cover with 95 mistakes on it. One of the big changes was altering the logo - something that's never been done with The New Yorker.
Occasionally McGuire will create single images that are scattered throughout the issue to tell a simple narrative. A lot of people would miss these flourishes, but each tells a story and takes a lot of thought to create.
Aside from his continuing work with The New Yorker, McGuire has released a number of books, including several books for children. The first one was The Orange Book, which was inspired by an orange on the subway tracks. He started to envision a huge back story for this orange, including a childhood in Florida, and wondered what led it to this point in time.
He's also created a children's book based on the 1995 April Fools' cover, another called What Goes Around Comes Around, and one called Night Becomes Day. They're all very conceptual and come from one single idea or thought that he expands on.
McGuire started creating toys after experimenting with a character called Puzzlehead. Somebody saw his work and offered to produce them. The early versions were produced in a small factory in Indonesia where everything was done by hand. He found it strange to see these poor workers cutting out each individual shape and the toys were eventually moved to Europe for mass-production.
It was actually his work on toys and games (specifically a card matching game, not unlike Snap) that led to him doing children's books. He'd already come up with the idea for The Orange Book when someone asked him about it.
That seems to be the pattern for McGuire's career, one thing leads to another leads to another and so on. At one point he was working on some animations for a Japanese website and that led to doing some animations for the children's programming segment on PBS, a public broadcasting service in the US.
From there he was asked to do an animated short called Micro Loup for a French company, which ultimately led to his segment in Fear(s) of the Dark. McGuire took some of his inspiration in Fear(s) from Roman Polanski's Repulsion.
Overall, McGuire's interest is in 'abstract representations of things that are real'. He's going to experiment more with that in a regular blog for The New Yorker starting next year.
McGuire concluded with some discussion about his time as bass player with Liquid Liquid in the early 80s. The band produced three EPs, but didn't achieve cult status until their songs started getting 'sampled out the wazoo'. As a result, the band's output was reissued twice - once in 1997, then again in 2008 (for which McGuire got to do the packaging).
Liquid Liquid's most famous song is probably Cavern, which formed the basis for Grand Master Flash's classic White Lines. The distinctive bassline for that was laid down by McGuire himself, though the sampling wasn't credited and led to a huge legal battle between Sugar Hill Records (Grandmaster Flash's label) and the band. They also ended up suing Duran Duran when they covered White Lines.
In an interesting bit of trivia, McGuire pointed out that one of Spike Lee's earliest jobs was directing the clip for White Lines while he was still in school. Years later, when making The 25th Hour, Spike rederessed the balance by using the original song Cavern in one of the film's scenes. McGuire doesn't know if it was deliberate, but he appreciated it nonetheless.
Liquid Liquid did a one-off gig at the Barbican back in 2008 as part of their 'comeback tour'. McGuire says they were nothing as a band, but they became huge afterwards.
When it was Steven Appleby's turn, he started by sharing his earliest influence -some of his mother's comics which were drawn in the 1930s. They were based on the romantic films and things of the times.
Appleby's early cartoons were based around imagining that the world was not exactly as it seemed. In one cartoon, his father is looking at a piece of metal sticking out of the crowd unbeknownst that it belongs to a vast spaceship buried under the lawn of the Appleby family home.
Some of his earliest professional work was doing strips and illustrations for NME. They asked for a regular strip, so he came up with Rockets Passing Overhead (aka Captain Star).
At first it was rejected for being too strange, but NME finally agreed to run it as a regular three-panel strip. There wasn't a great narrative or punchline, but that's what he was into at the time.
Appleby then started doing pages for a German publication which allowed him to go off on tangents and explore other ideas.
Eventually the strip started running in The Observer as the result of an errant email. It turns out one of the editors had a virus which sent out emails to everyone on their contact list. Appleby emailed them back and explained he couldn't open the message, but was glad they'd got in touch. The editor apologised for the mistake, but agreed it was good timing and they started discussing the strip.
One of Appleby's biggest influences came from American illustrator Edward Gorey. You could almost mix up his pages and panels yet still get something from them, which freed Appleby from the bonds of specific structure.
He actually got to interview Gorey at his home by performing a bit of clever 'subterfuge'. First he contacted The Observer to ask if he could interview Gorey for them. Appleby said he was already going to the US (which he wasn't) and that he could do the interview while he was there. They agreed, so he then contacted Gorey's agent and said The Observer would like to do an interview. The agent surprisingly gave him Gorey's number and Appleby made the necessary arrangements himself.
A lot of things seem to have just fallen into place and Appleby admits that sometimes it's about being in the right place at the right time. For example, he met an editor for Bloomsbury at a friend's birthday drinks and that's how his publishing deal with them originally came about.
Although he didn't have anything particular in mind, he knew he wanted to do a book, so the editor agreed. After going away to think about it, he drew a picture of a man with a chair on his back under the title 'Normal Sex' - the concept was approved straight away.
A lot of the Bloomsbury books are now out of print, so he's looking into the option of re-releasing them as a series of e-books.
Appleby is known for his clever absurdist strips. He had the idea for a series of 'last moments' based on a cartoon he did of snow people discovering fire then suddenly becoming extinct. He tried to come up with other cartoons based on that theme, but none had the same impact.
In addition to NME and The Observer, Appleby has also worked for The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, and briefly did a daily strip in Germany which they translated and lettered for him.
Outside of print, he has created a number of works designed to create a narrative event in your head. One series of pieces uses rotating discs to communicate different ideas as you turn them.
At one point, Appleby experimented with doing Captain Star as an animated series. It took seven years to develop and raise the money, but eventually they created thirteen 22-minute episodes of the show. Although originally pitched as a more mature show, it found its home and funding through children's television.
It was originally shown around 4pm in the afternoon, so even schoolkids barely got to see it. Since then it has enjoyed some late night runs around the world and can be found on YouTube for those who are interested.
To summarise the evening, Paul Gravett cleverly identified that 'go with the flow' was the message of the day. Both artists had amazing careers largely based on keeping things diverse and allowing one thing to lead them to another.
Thanks once again to Gosh! Comics, Paul Gravett, and Comica Festival for a great night.

You can also read more about Steven Appleby's work on his website, as well as pick up his new book The Coffee Table Book of Doom.

A day to praise a lager cherished by numerous brew nerds and expert brewers. Brew consumers nowadays, particularly the newcomers, underestimate acrid lagers. They're still rather uncommon, yet sometime in the past they were non-existent in America. The first I experienced was Orval. I thought, "This is not brew." In time, I took in the imprudence of my reasoning.
Thankfully, Merchant du Vin began importing claim to fame brews from Europe in 1978. Orval is only one of the numerous brews they've conveyed to America throughout the years. As per Merchant du Vin, Orval was the main brett lager to arrive in America. I have no motivation to uncertainty them.
Orval offers one and only lager, which they mix to immortal flawlessness inside of the dividers of Notre Dame d'Orval Monastery in Belgium. It's scrumptious when it leaves the distillery, additionally develops in the container for a considerable length of time.
With regards to the Trappist mission, part of the returns from every container will be given to MAP International, a worldwide philanthropy that advances wellbeing and trust. Nearby Orval sweethearts are welcome to observe Orval Day at any of the accompanying.
At The Beer Junction, Orval Day agrees with the kickoff of Belgian and Sour Beer Week. Half quart Defiance in Tacoma is exceptionally eager to be a piece of the good times. "We are fed to be a part of this california distillery across the country occasion," says Barry Watson, who claims Pint Defiance alongside his wife Renee. "Orval has constantly held an extraordinary spot in my heart and in my refrigerator."
At Pint Defiance, containers of Orval will be accessible for clients to drink on premises, and the initial forty-eight to do as such get the chance to take home a credible Trappist glass. What's more, two brews roused by Orval will be accessible to attempt close by the first. They'll have Three Magnets Brewing's Belgian Pale Ale on tap—prepared with a strain of yeast "acquired" from a container of Orval. Additionally, jars of Mikkeller Årh Hvad?!
"Each art lager consumer recollects their first Orval," says R.J. Adler, Assistant Manager at Pint Defiance. "What's more, I'm energized that I get the chance to present a ton of new individuals to the lager."

Major Source
I commend C. Colt Anderson for acknowledging the action St. Peter Damian took regarding the crime of clerical sexual abuse of children in the 11th century (6/6). The time has come for Catholic scholars to give voice to the hundreds of saints and sinners who have done the same. Peter Damian's notice to the pope is available in English translation, called the Book of Gomorrah. This is one of the rare major sources of the history of clerical sexual abuse that is available to all.

Spark of Faith
Thank you very much for Mary Moloney Haggerty's article A Spark of Hope Across the Atlantic (5/23). It helped explain for me something of the differences in attitude between my Dutch-Catholic heritage and my Irish-North American one. My mother and her family came to America from Limburg Province in the Netherlands in 1912 as homesteaders, with a colony of Dutch and Belgian people invited by the Great Northern Railway Company to settle on farms in north central Montana.
One of my mother's cousins was Msgr. Henri Poels, who had an interesting career as a biblical scholar at The Catholic University of America early in the 20th century. He was the subject of an article in America some years ago, The Strange Case of Henry Poels (10/11/86). I believe he lost his faculty privileges in a dispute over his scientific and ecumenical approach to biblical scholarship. He made a strong defense of his case before the Holy Office and was later reinstated and given a doctorate honoris causa at Catholic U. I have a copy of Monsignor Poels's brief and of his honorary degree, which my friend, the Rev. James Provost, sent me when he served as a member of the canon law faculty there.
The Catholic faith of my mother and her sisters and brothers was deep and abiding and has been one of the most important influences in my life and that of my sister. I was pleased to learn from Mrs. Haggerty that the spark of faith still lives in Limburg. After visiting Limburg and the graves of my ancestors in the churchyard of the kerk at Kessel, near Venlo, I also noticed the age and sparsity of attendance at Mass, which Mrs. Haggerty describes. I pray that the efforts of the people at Val Dieu, about which she writes, will serve the Christian faith in Europe.

Many thanks to Greg Kandra for Teach Us to Pray (6/20). For those of us who do not easily arrive at contemplative prayer on our own, his thoughts recounting very familiar prayer experiences brought me closer.

Wealth of Genius
Your May 23 issue carries a letter by Msgr. James E. Mortimer that brings many reactions to mind. He was commenting on your article with advice to the new pope, who had not yet been elected (4/25). He asks for humility and silence from all in view of the fact that the new pope is chosen with the help of the Holy Spirit.
First of all, our fealty is to Jesus Christ before anyone else. What if Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, inspires someone to speak about issues and ideas that might help the church? This happened in the case of St. Catherine of Siena with good effect.
Next, the virtue of respect is a great one, to be sure; but it is not the only virtue. There are others: wisdom, courage, faith, loyalty, insight, to name a few. These can also be exercised, and should be when occasion demands.
Next, the church has a great wealth of genius that needs to be encouraged. The church needs a pontiff who respects this genius and finds ways to make it serve for the benefit of all. This can be done only if the papacy is, first of all, open to the thoughts of others. The article in question seemed to have hope that this openness would be there in the new pope.
Next, there seems to be a tendency among Catholics to confuse disagreement with disobedience. We pray for honest disagreement because that is the way to progress. Naturally, we fear the kind of disagreement that breaks out into disobedience. The history of the church contains many painful examples. But a healthy disagreement, as in the case of St. Paul with St. Peter or the case of St. Thomas Aquinas with theological positions current in his time, has made the church richer and wiser.
Lastly, humility is a virtue of tremendous proportions, no doubt about it. But it has counterfeits, which make us confuse silence and inaction as always in harmony with the greater glory of God.

Ineffective Dream
I just subscribed to your publication. The editorial The Vanishing Dream (7/4) is nothing more than socialist propaganda. No doubt I could have spent my money more effectively.

Moral Commentary
I wholeheartedly agree with your editorial The Vanishing Dream (7/4) and appreciate the moral commentary on the New York Times series of articles. It seems that two things are necessary to have an economy at the service of people and to reverse the globalizing trend of people in servitude of an inhuman economy. Both of them are not only consistent with Catholic social teaching; they are necessities because of our Christian and Catholic faith.
First, an assertion of control of governments, preferably democratic governments, by international organizations (for example, the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the European Union), in preference to control by multinational/transnational corporations. The recent rejection of the E.U. constitution by the French and the Dutch is a sign of hope in this regard. The second necessity is for a renewed and recharged worldwide labor movement.
Thank you for continuing to bring attention to crucial issues, like the disturbing trends this editorial discusses, which affect every person on the planet.

Every Era
I have been an America fan for many years and am delighted to have a subscription. Yes, I read it eagerly as each issue arrives.
Then I came to the last two letters in the June 20 issue very negative responses on the St. Louis Jesuits' contribution to church music. It is the total opposite of my reaction to their contribution to the liturgical life of the church.
As an 83-year-old Sister of Mercy with a degree in liturgical music, I delighted in and welcomed this music into the wondrous celebration of liturgical and personal prayer. A lover of Gregorian Chant and polyphony, I am deeply aware that church music must not be a performance, but a gathering of the people into a community of love and celebration. Times change; culture adapts. I am delighted at any time to revel in classics, gifts of the past, but I also yearn that the celebration of God-love may be heard and sung right from the heart of those gathered. Every era has special gifts to share.
Let me give one simple example. In 1983 my community gathered to affirm, celebrate and send our first sisters to a new apostolate in Peru. The St. Louis Jesuits' Here I Am, Lord was a blessed and powerful choice:
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling through the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my hand.
It sings/plays the moment so intimately.

I have found almost no reference to the sexual abuse of preteen children before the 20th century. It seems to be largely a modern problem, to judge from the historical record.

The most typical symbol of Christmas is a light shining in the darkness. The shepherds in the fields and the wise men in the east suddenly see the night made bright. It is a season for candles and stars, and its theological sense is caught in one of the readings from the liturgy for Christmas night: "The grace of God has appeared, offering salvation to all men" (Titus, 2:11).
Some years the darkness seems more bleak and barren than others. A strong case could be made for 1980 on the all time disaster list. A sudden earthquake in southern Italy snatched away tens of thousands of lives and left many more homeless and hungry. And if the natural catastrophe were not dispiriting enough, tales of profiteering and exploiting the homeless cast a shadow on other reports of heroism and generosity. The Middle East is once again torn by violence even as Christians prepare to remember the birth there of the Prince of Peace.
Every year Christmas brings, of course, at least a momentary interruption to the dreary recital of things gone wrong. The universe seems to smile: "All the flowers looked up at Him, and all the stars looked down." For those of us here in New York, the lighting of the giant Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center is always a pleasant enough introduction to holiday distractions. This year some teen-age figure skaters performed several nifty routines to the rhythms of traditional Christmas carols, and it was refreshing to hear the huge crowd sing Joy to the World rather than that non-denominational favorite, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Yet that same night, only hours later and a handful of city streets away, John Lennon, the first of the Beatles, was shot down in a senseless murder. The night ended with a different kind of crowd singing a different kind of song-the music that defined a generation-outside the hospital where its composer, John Lennon, lay dead, for no apparent reason at all.
Overwhelming natural disasters, intractable political conflicts, capricious and wasteful violence have not made 1980 a vintage year. And the year ahead looms rather threateningly, too. Discussing recent history and future prospects the other day, an elderly gentleman with a strong eschatological bent casually predicted: "If you liked 1968, youll love 1981."
Christmas tree candles and stars by themselves do not throw much light on such unrelieved darkness. And yet we do believe what we say on Christmas night: "The grace of God has appeared, offering salvation to all men." We need to be reminded of this, not just at Christmas but in the workaday season as well. Which is why, I take it, that Pope John Paul II chose to devote his second encyclical to the theme of Gods merciful love (Dives in Misericordia-rich in mercy-published on the first Sunday of Advent.)
Like his first encyclical, Redemptor Hominis, and so many of his other statements, Dives in Misericordia is preoccupied with the twin themes of the dignity of the human person and the meaning and mission of Jesus Christ. As always, John Paul II insists that the full meaning of the human person can never be grasped in isolation from God. A totally desacralized world, he warns, will inevitably become a dehumanized world. The principal message of the encyclical is a theme of the Christmas liturgy. In Jesus Christ the mercy of God has been revealed incarnate.
A God of mercy, John Paul recognizes at the start of his message, is not a fashionable idea in the contemporary world. Our technological advances have encouraged us to think of the world in terms of dominance rather than forgiveness. But this is a superficial reaction, even if it is favored by someone as knowledgeable as Carl Sagan. Most thoughtful people are struck by the dangers as well as by the promise that science and technology hold out for the human family.
The world would grow intolerable if forgiveness were not available, if there were no one to bestow it. In his book, Whatever Happened to Sin?, Karl Menninger tells the story of the man who stood on a street corner in Chicago and shouted at each person as he or she passed by: "Guilty, guilty!" The man who told Dr. Menninger about the incident admitted that when he passed by and was called "guilty," he thought to himself, "Yes, but how did he know." The story suggests to me another urban experience. In the film, A Thousand Clowns, its off-beat hero, played by Jason Robards walks through the streets of New York saying to everyone he passes, "Im sorry. Im sorry." And most people, he finds, answer "Thats all right."
I dont think the two stories necessarily illustrate the special genius of each of the two cities in question. They do, perhaps, suggest how much the need to forgive and be forgiven is woven into our permanent condition as pilgrims on this darkened planet, where the light can sometimes seem only intermittent and the pilgrims can often feel forgotten.
In tracing the biblical theme of Gods mercy John Paul recalls that it is an expression of Gods fidelity to Himself; He will not desert those with whom He has been joined in covenant. In the New Testament, in the analogy of the Prodigal Son, this covenant is expressed in vivid personal terms. By leaving his father and wandering in a strange land, the son becomes a stranger to himself as well. Can this ancient parable stand as the dramatization of the inner landscape of many contemporary pilgrims who are not at home in this threatening, lonely universe, and are alienated from themselves as well?
Mercy is resented by those who confuse it with pity. To become an object of pity is to be stripped of dignity and worth, but the mercy of God does not degrade but transforms. This is because it leads us from the gracious appearance at Bethlehem to the mystery of the Cross on Calvary. Conventional secular wisdom finds this unappealing, even contradictory, but so it has always been. The Cross remains the definitive sign of the covenant broken and then restored, of a God ever-faithful to His people, of pilgrims who wandered and have regained their way, of the ashes of death from which now springs forth new fire. No one knew this better than Mary, the Mother of Mercy, John Paul II points out, for no one shared more fully than she in the mystery of the Cross.
If a harsh world seems more gentle at least for a moment at Christmas, it is not simply because of the candles and the stars. It is because on this night a light appeared, the revelation of the mercy of God incarnate which lasts "from generation to generation" even one as embattled as we find ourselves in December 1980, the year of Our Lord.

text: The first time I saw singer-songwriter Mark Mallman was at a pizza place that no longer exists. October 2005. The sign outside Sammy Sortino's on S. 72nd St. read, "Welcome Piano Man Mark Mallman." As I stepped inside I was overcome by a waft of sour pepperoni and an ocean of nomming families pushing mozzarella-covered glop into their drooling maws. The guy at the door told me Mark Mallberg was in the next room. You mean Mallman, right? "It's Mallberg," he said rather annoyed, never looking away from an overhead TV blaring a Yankee's post-season game. Maybe two other people were the in the room adjacent to the main dining hall that occasionally burst into cheers whenever something bad happened to the Yankees. On the makeshift stage, playing behind a pair of shoebox-sized amps on tripods, was crazy-haired Mallman, doing what he'd done all the years leading up to that moment -- pouring his heart out onto his keyboard, singing his songs as best he could, as if he were playing to a smoky, crowded First Avenue crowd in his hometown instead of rows of empty tables in a poorly lit "party room." Mallberg, er, Mallman remembered that night clearly. He even remembered the lousy pizza that they paid him with. "I had an agent at the time that was just trying to make shit work," he says, from his Minnesota home on a day off. "When you go to a movie and only one person is in the theater, the movie's still the same, right? It's part of my thing to work the crowd no matter what. Respect the stage." He showed that respect earlier this month performing a 78-hour-long song called "Marathon 3," at St. Paul's Turf Club. He ran nine miles every other day and changed his diet to prepare for the endurance test that some viewed as a gimmick, but that Mallman describes as more of an art piece or happening. "I'm not comparing myself to Warhol, but at the beginning I'm sure people wondered why he was making an 8-hour film of a building in New York," Mallman says, referencing Warhol's 1964 film Empire. "Anything that's new or different is overlooked or categorized, but it still becomes part of history. We forget that (David) Bowie was considered a flash-in-the-pan, gay, cross-dressing shock artist, and now you look back and say, 'What a great album.' I don't concern myself if a writer or fan thinks it's just shock. They don't see the future and the past. I'm the only one that knows the real story, so it's up to me to deliver it." And deliver it he has over eight albums since 1998, hitting a stride with 2002's The Red Bedroom, an album that caught the ear of major labels with its gorgeous piano-driven pop songs, like the yearning rock anthems "Love Look at You," and "Who's Gonna Save You Now?" The labels thought Mallman could be their next David Gray. "It was a point in my career in the early 2000s when I had a great management team," Mallman says. "I had developed a huge fan base in the Twin Cities and I was talking to the managers at the biggest labels. Going the major-label route is taking a risk. But I don't think you're risking anything by following exactly what you hear in your head. You can look back and say, 'Well, they didn't get it and I'm eating Taco Bell tonight,' but it's better than telling people, 'You don't want to listen to that record, I was rapping on it.'" To be clear, Mallman says he didn't say "no" to a major label deal. "My dad would have kicked my ass," he says. "When it came time to do a showcase for them, I gave them the show that was in my heart, which was wild and drew from Jim Morrison and Johnny Lydon, but not David Gray or Elton John." Instead of a major, Mallman signed with respected indie label Badman Records, whose roster includes Mark Kozelek, My Morning Jacket, and Rebecca Gates. Badman released Mallman's last three albums, including 2009's Invincible Criminal. "Now you can go online and download my discography and you've got my whole story, and it isn't tainted," he says. But if MTV's "Cribs" decides to do a piece on Mallman's lifestyle, they'll find him living in a rented basement in a converted church. "Maybe if I lived a bit more extravagantly I would have to worry about the f***ed-up music industry, but I've never been rich and famous," he says. "I could totally live in a house and have a wife and a family and whatever; I could have all that stuff and continue being a musician, but I don't want a yard to take care of. Instead of spending money on a mortgage, I would rather spend it on food and drinks and traveling and recording." And maybe because he has nothing to lose, Mallman sees the Internet as the music industry's great liberator rather than its destroyer. "It's worth all the sacrifice," he says. "In the '90s with the major labels, everyone was afraid to take a risk. Even the indies were following the formula. It was like a state of martial law. It was the biggest SS regime of music industry people force-feeding the world. When people talk about grunge and Nirvana, that was the worst. Now bands do whatever they want, from Gogol Bordello to Animal Collective. Without the Internet, you wouldn't have this crazy music that's coming out now." But what about all the bands that are giving up because they think they can't make a living playing music? "I tell them to pack it up," Mallman says. "You should quit because it's less competition and more people for me. Some bands were in it because they wanted the golden lottery ticket. We're weeding out the people that were in it for the wrong reason." One thing's for sure: Mallman will never give up. Next on his plate is putting together the "Marathon 3" documentary and live album. His other band, Ruby Isle, just released a full-length reinvention of Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction on Kindercore Records. "'Marathon 3' opened me to the idea that the music industry, the music landscape, that music itself is changing rapidly and it makes me interested in abandoning traditional ideas and looking for a new way to do things that are sometimes cheeky and bathed in sugar-coated irony." Mark Mallman plays w/ The Whipkey Three Sunday, Nov. 28, at the Waiting Room, 6212 Maple St. The 9 p.m. show is $8. Visit onepercentproductions.com.
